NEW YORK-Center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar of the Los Angeles
Lakers, the Most Valuable Player in the National Basketball
Association for the 1975-76 season, was named to the league's
All-Star team yesterday for the sixth time.
Abdul-Jabbar won the rebounding title for the first time in his
seven years in the NBA, and led the league in blocked shots,
minutes played and defensive rebounds. He also finished second
in scoring.
Golden State forward Rick Barry, chosen to the team for
the fifth time in his six years in the league, was the top vote
getter with 16.002 of a possible 18 points.
Others named to the first team were forwards George McGinnis
of the Philadelphia 7ers, and guards Nate Archibald of the Kansas
City Kings and Pete Maravich of the New Orleans Jazz.
Selected to the second team were forwards Elvin Hayes of
the Washington Bullets and John Havlicek of the champion Boston
Celtics, center Dave Cowens of Boston, and guards Phil Smith
of Golden State and Randy Smith of the Buffalo Braves.
The teams were chosen by sports writers and broadcasters
in each of the league's 18 franchise cities.
Bees buzz bullpen
PITTSBURGH-About 20,000 bees were removed yesterday
afternoon from the visitor's bullpen at Three Rivers Stadium, but
a few hours later umpire Bob Engel was stung on the cheek
during a baseball game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cin-
cinnati Reds.
"We missed one," said Pirate public relations director Bill
Guilfoile after Engel was stung while umpiring behind the plate
in the third inning.
The bees had gathered overnight on a post in the bullpen
area where Reds pitchers had been taking their warmup tosses
during their series with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Guilfoyle summoned beekeeper Steve Demko and asked him to
remove the bees before the Reds arrived at the park.
"He (Demko) just walked up, sprayed them with a solution of
sugar and water and then scooped them up by the thousands in
his bare hands and put them in a big box," Guilfoyle recounted.
"I had one foot out the door and I was ready to go, especially
when he started kicking the fence to loosen the clumps."
Early this year in Cincinnati, another swarm of bees caused
a 30-minute delay in a Reds game.
Redskins sign Riggins
WASHINGTON-Running back John Riggins, probably the best
of the 24 free agents who became available May 1, has signed a
series of one-year contracts with the Washington Redskins. That
gives the National Football League team three players who have
gained 1,000 yards a season.
Riggins and Coach George Allen declined to discuss details
of the contract. It had been reported that Riggins had sought
$1.5 million for five seasons, to be paid at $100,000 annually for
15 years.
Riggins, who will be entering his sixth pro year, was the
first player in Jets history to rush for more than 1,000 yards in
one season when he gained 1,006 yards on 238 carries in 1975
He will join a Redskin offense that recently acquired free
agent Calvin Hill and Larry Brown, both of whom have gained
1,000 yards in a season.
