The perils of anonymity...
. ..claim another victim
R'YEARS BASEBALL FANS around the country would
mutter about the lack of attention accorded to Henry Aaron
of the Braves. Well now that Aaron is being conceded his true
value (he's even getting to do commercials), I have another case
for America's diamond afficienadoes.
When the National League all-stars are introduced this
evening in Cincinnati, the Chicago Cubs' Billy Williams will not
be there. Through last Saturday's games Williams was batting
.320. He had slugged 26 home runs, knocked home 80 runs and
scored 76 runs. Thus he was tenth in the National League in
batting, third in homers and second in runs batted in.
And Williams is no flash in the pan-he's been in the league
for a long time and has been a consistant .300 hitter, usually
adding 20 to 25 homers and 75 to 100 runs batted in 'to his
credentials. He also has done something no other National
League in history has accomplished by playing in over 1000
straight games, a streak which is still in progress. The left-
handed hitter is enjoying what may be his best season of his
career, yet he wasn't accorded the honor of being named to the
All-Star team. Why?
THE BLAME can not entirely be affixed to Bowie Kuhn's
return of the ballot to the fans. At least he was on the ballot,
but the fans chose to ignore the Cub outfielder and he man-
aged only a seventh place finish in the balloting among the
National League's outfielders.
This was undoubtedly due to two factors--one was the
quality of the opposition, the other the lack of attention ac-
accorded him by the nation's media.
The six men who finished ahead of Williams in the balloting
were all deserving, although not necessarily more so than the
Cubbie slugger.-The leading vote getter was the incomparable
Aaron. The two other starters were Rico Carty, in the limelight
for much of the season because of his .400 plus batting average,
and the ever present Willie Mays, having his best season in three
years and thus given a last hurrah by his adoring fans around
thercountry. Also head of Williams in the voting were Pete Rose,
Roberto Clemente and Tommie Agee. Rose had led the National
League is hitting for two years and after a slow start is now
batting .328. Clemente is hitting .364, and Agee, although hitting
only .287 with nineteen homers, is generally conceded to be the
most valuable player on the World Champion Mets.
THE FACT THAT Williams trailed these players, however,
is in largeFpart due to the lack of press coverage accorded him.
Since he tends to be a trifle quieter than some of the other play-
ers and is probably steadier and less spectacular, he is often
overlooked by the moguls who head the nation's press. When, for
example, was the last time Williams was the subject of a feature
in Sports Illustrated? Thus when the fan went to vote he tended
to vote for the players whose names were embedded in his
thought processes.
The reader, of course, may say rightly that Gil Hodges, the
manager of the team, could have placed the deserving Williams
on the squad, if in fact, he was so deserving. It must be remem-
bered, however, that the other players were also quite capable.
Clarence Gastom, was named so the San Diego Padres would be
represented on the team, and Jim Hickman, Williams' team-
mate who is hitting about one hundred points above his normal
average, might never again be in consideration for the all-star
team.
Williams is thus the victim of circumstances, but there are
a few compensations for being overlooked. The Cub leftfielder, as
previously noted, has not missed a game this year,- but he will
now have three days off to prime himself for the second half of
the season. He should also be prepared to tell himself that if he
continues his steady pace much longer, enough idiots like me
will begin to take notice of his anonymity, and that is the first
All-Stars play'

CHICAGO (-)--With the pos-
sibility of a player's strike loom-
ing, the 26 teams in the Na-
tional Football League an-
nounced Monday their training
camps would be closed to vet-
eran players.
The statement was m a d e
jointly by George Halas, owner
of the Chicago Bears and pres-
ident of the National Confer-
ence, and LaMar Hunt, owner of
the Kansas City Chiefs and
president of the American Con-
ference.
The move, agreed upon un-
animously in a secret meeting in
Chicago Sunday, followed a
communications by the Players'
Association of the NFL instruct-
ing, veteran players not to re-
port as scheduled.
Halas and Hunt also an-
nounced that the camps would
open as scheduled for rookie
players.
The action is similar to a
move taken two years ago when
the players threatened to strike.
Meanwhile, negotiations be-
tween committees respresenting

LANSING (P)-The Michigan
Supreme Court yesterday struck
down a portion of the state con-
stitution dealing with search
and seizure of firearms, bombs,
saying the provision was in
conflict with the U.S. constitu-
tion.
The s t a t e constitution pro-
vides that prohibition against
unreasonable search and seizure
"shall not be construed to bar
evidence in any criminal pro-
ceeding against narcotic drug,
firearm, bomb, explosive or any
other dangerous weapon, seized
by a police officer outside the
curtilage of any dwelling house
in this state."
The court, in an opinion by
five of the seven justices, ruled
that the constitutional provi-
sion was contrary to federal
constitutional provisions dealing
with the right of privacy and
due process of law.
The ruling reversed a lower
court conviction of Lawrence
Pennington, found guilty of
carrying a dangerous weapon in
a motor vehicle after he was
arrested and found to be drunk.
When state police arrested
Pennington in Detroit for
drunken driving, they took his
car keys, had him taken to a
police post and the car towed to
a gas station.
Pennington- was interrogated
for about 15 minutes, then turn-
ed over to the desk office while
another officer went to the gas
station and searched his car.
In the glove compartment, the
officer found a partly filled
whiskey bottle and a loaded re-
volver.
Pennington subsequently was
charged with carrying a danger-
ous weapon in a motor vehicle.
The trial court ruled that the
search and seizure were unlaw-
ful and it excluded the bottle of
whiskey from evidence intro-
duced at Pennington's trial. But
it admitted as evidence the re-
volver and bullets because of the
state constitution which had ex-
cluded these items from the un-
reasonable search and seizure
clause.
Pennington was found guilty
of that weapons charge.
The Supreme Court agreed
with the lower court's finding
that the search and seizure were
unlawful, saying "the reason for
the arrest (drunken driving)
gave no cause for the search of
the automobile after the defend-
ant was already in custody."
The Supreme Court further
found that the state constitu-
tional section excluding guns
from the search and seizure pro-
hibitions was contrary to the
U.S. constitution.
