Hank McGraw, a catcher-first base- man for the Eugene Emeralds in the Pacific Coast League has been suspended because manager Lou Kahn, felt Mc- Graw's hair length violated a conduct and grooming code handed down by Eugene's parent club-the Phillies. The hair, oops, case is growing because the major league baseball players associ- ation is backing McGraw, a .305 hitter, who had 14 home runs and 49 RBI when he was suspended three weeks ago. "This is a question of concern to the major league players," said Richard Moss, counsel to the association. "The reason the association undertook this case was because the Eugene man- ager apparently was following policies of the Phillies. As I understand it, what happened is outrageous. There is nothing offensive about his hair length and it doesn't violate his contract." A formal appeal has been sent to Phil Piton, president of the National Associ- ation, the governing body of the minor leagues. "Under his contract," Moss said, "Mc- Graw's first route of appeal is to the Na- tional Association. If they rule against it, the next route is to the commissioner. The final step, of course, is to test it in the courts. This is a basic civil liberties issue. And a baseball player has civil liber- ties like everyone else. There are a lot of precedents in a case like this." Moss said there-is no question the club is clearly in violation. He views the whole thing. as incredible. He can't believe that a baseball organization would take such a position. "You think they would be pushing in the other direction, so they could attract some young people," Moss said. Piton's ruling has not been received yet, according to Moss. Phillies' General Manager John Quinn had no comment other than to confirm that McGraw was still under suspension. McGraw's brother, Tug, who pitches the New York Mets, said he and Han s prefer as little publicity over the matter as possible. The brothers, however, ai e quite upset over the suspension. "If you asked an artist to paint a pic- ture of the All-American boy today, how would he do it?" Tug asked. "There are a lot of good kids with long hair, you know. I don't think an artist would know what to do right now." Tug said that after Hank was suspend- ed he sort of disappeared, just took off, "He was in shock," Tug said. "In my opinion, the length of his hair was not as bad as some people made it sound. I saw him last week and I thought he had gotten a haircut. "There are a lot of guys on this club (the Mets) who wouldn't be able to play for Eugene if the rules on long hair were applied to them. I've played for teams where the players had hair a lot longer than Hank's." Tug said his brother has had long hair since he was in high school, so it's not a fad with him. "He doesn't like to be a stereotyped person," Tug said. "And he doesn't like to be governed by rules which don't make sense to him. This rule didn't. He wouldn't allow his hair to grow so long that it interfered with his play or his comfort." Moss say he wouldn't mind going to court with this case. "In some matters," Moss adds, "baseball is 30 years behind." Vol. LXXX, No. 60-S Ann Arbor; Michigan-Wednesday, August 5, 1970 Ten Cents 'U' RE: E CS DISIPLI CTIO G I ST P R Hank McGraw victum of repression? Jets lost report Namath HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. U, - Wanted: Quarterback, Hair length no problem. But must answer to name Joe Namath. Contact Weeb Ewbank, coach. New York Jets. It's possible that want ad will by appearing in your local paper soon--for right now Namath, at least to the Jets, is less a first- string quarterback than a misisng person. The players strike has ended, and most of the Jet veterans have started workouts at the Jets' Hofstra University training base. But in the dressing room-Namath's absence is marked by the unused No. 12 green mesh jersey and bright white shoes. Meanwhile, high atop Tower C in the dormitory that houses the Jets, the phone calls go out in endless procession. New York, Boston, Miami, wherever he might be. But there is no Joe Namath. Where is he? Is Ewbank angry? What's Namath up to? Has he cut his hair? All those questions are kicked around in a scene reminiscent of last year, as coaches, players, media people await his arrival. Last year it was delayed by a dispute with Commissioner Pete Rozelle. This year it has been compounded by the players' strike. That, however, now is over and most of the jets are either in camp or en route. But Namath cannot be reached. Neither has he reached anyone with the Jets. It is a mystery' without a clue. Ewbank, publicly at least, maintains an even disposition when pestered about Namath's whereabouts. He acknowledges having tried to reach him and admits "I would like to have him play about one quarter Saturday night" when the Jets open their exhibition season against Buffalo at Birmingham, Ala. The movie star was last seen in Rome with Prince Valient- length locks making a Western. Whether he will make the first stop on the Jets' itinerary remains a question. Still, the people in Birm- ingham who are sponsoring the game have put up billboards herald- ing: "Joe vs. 0.J." O.J. is for O.J. Simpson, the Bills' sophomore running back. He will be there. No one knows about Joe. Except Joe. And he isn't telling. Rumors circulated around the Jets' training camp yesterday that Namath was seen last week playing softball in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., but there was no official confirmation or denial from Jet spokesmen on the report.- -Associated Press.

Manager Leo Durocher said he expected that Hands would miss only one start in his nor- mal patching rotation. Hands, a 13-game winner, was stricken Monday night dur- ing the game with the Mets at Shea Stadium here. He was rushed to a New York hospital where the first report was that the right hander might have to undergo an operation. "It's not appendicitis," Duro- cher said. "It was just some sort of a stomach upset. He will be out of the hospital today and rejoin us later in Philadelphia. I don't know when he will next pitch." Meanwhile, Randy Hundley, the Cubs' catcher, who was left at home with a stomach disor- der, rejoined the club here. Alworth reported " " retiring SAN DIEGO (P) - Wide re- ceiver -Lance Alworth, an Amer- ican Football League all-star for the San Diego Chargers every year since 1963, retired yesterday, it has been reported. Sportcaster Al Coupee of sta- tion KOGO in San Diego made the announcement last evening. He said Alworth was "packing his bags when I got to his apart- ment." Alworth, who signed a long- term contract with the Chargers in the mid-1960s, had been an unofficial hold-out by demand- ing more money. "He is one of the most re- markable ends in history," said Charger coach Charley Waller yesterday morning before hear- ing of Alworth's retirement. Last year, Alworth broke Don Hutson's pro record by catching at least one pass in 96 consecu- tive games. But he shrugged it off. "I thought that's what ends were supposed to do - catch passes," he said after the feat. Foreman scores TKO on Chuvalo NEW YORK (M) - George Foreman, unbeaten former Olympic heavyweight champion, won his 22nd straight pro fight last night by stopping George Chuvalo of Toronto on a tech- nical knockout in the third -round at Madison Square Gar- den. Referee A r t h u r Mercante stopped the bout at 1:41 of the third with Foreman battering the 34-year-old Canadian cham- pion in his own corner. Chuvalo, never knocked off his feet in a 77-bout career in which he has met Cassius Clay, Joe Frazier, and all the best, didn't go down this time either. Foreman had opened up a lead with his long range jab and clubbing right in the first two rounds but the end came unexpectedly. The 21 - year - old Hayward, Calif., contender shook up Chu- valo with a left hook and when the v e t e r a n dropped back against the ropes near Fore- man's corner, the youngster swarmed all over him. By The Associated Press Primary election returns early this morning gave Mrs. George Romney the Republican nomi- nation for Senator, as state sen- ator Sander Levin won the Dem- ocratic gubernatorial nomina- tion. Mrs. Romney defeated state senator Robert Huber to face incumbent Phillip Hart who was unopposed. Levin defeated three other candidates and will run in November against Gov. William Milliken who easily defeated Howell m a g a z i n e publisher James Turner. With 1,718 of the 5,878 pre- cincts reporting, Romney held a 103,502 to 90,045 lead over Huber. In the GOP senatorial race, Mrs. Romney led by 10 percent- age points early in the night. As the counting of ballots pro- gressed, however, her margin dropped. In the Democratic guberna- torial race, Levin had 45,423 votes to 32,364 for Zolton Fer- ency, his closest rival. The counting of votes in De- troit, where punch-card voting was used for the first time, was stalled by computer breakdowns. City Clerk George Edwards re- ported that five of six regional tabulating computers were mal- functioning. As of midnight, four hours after the polls closed, no Detroit returns had been reported. Because of the computer mal- functions, no vote totals had been received on the school board recall motion in Detroit. Detroit's voting population is one-fifth of the entire state's electorate. In the second district, which includes Ann Arbor, the early vote showed 5,338 for Michael Stillwagon and Bruce Neal trail- ing with 4,982 in the race for the Democratic nomination for Congress. The winner will face Republican Congressman Mar- vin Esch, who ran unopposed. In other congressional action, Republican Congressman Don- ald Riegle and Democratic Con- gressman John Conyers held- commanding leads over their primary opponents. In other primaries, Senator Stuart Symington won renomi- nation in Missouri's Democratic primary for a fourth term. In the November election he will face State Attorney General win state primary John Dansforth, who captured the Republican nomination for Senate. In Idaho, Gov. Don Samuel- son appears headed for victory over his Republican primary opponents. The three-way battle in the Democratic race is still nip and tuck between Vernon Ravenscorft and Cecil Andrus. a x--late game not included Yesterday's Results New York 4, Chicago 0 Pittsburgh 4, Montreal 2 St. Louis 3, Philadelphia 2 Atlanta 6, Houston 1 Cincinnati at San Diego, inc.
