" 7000 'ti': ". ' Y' 7. The Michigan Daily-Wednesday; August 6, 1980-Page 11 MAJOR LEAGUE'S THIRD BLACK SKIPPER Wills to ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - New Seat- tle Mariners Manager Maury Wills says he wants his players motivated by respect, not fear. "I like to build a thing of respect," explained Wills. "Rules are made to be broken. Usually you make rules for two or three players. With the economy the way it is, why take $500 away from somebody because he's three or four minutes late, or something. _ "IN MY RELATIONSHIP with the players, I want to level with them," said the 47-year-old Wills, the former shortstop and base-stealing king named Monday to replace the fired Darrell manage Johnson as Seattle manager. "I don't want them to do anything out of fear. I want to be fair and honest. I always remember when I was a player." Going into Tuesday night's game against the California Angels, Seattle had lost 10 games in a row and 21 of 25 contests since the All-Star break and were in the American League West cellar. SEATTLE President Dan O'Brien said in announcing Johnson's dismissal and the hiring of Wills that the club was taking a "new direction." Wills' managerial debut Monday through night was less than smashing as the Mariners lost 8-3 to the Angels. But he said afterward he saw a lot to like. "I wish we could have won, but the ship's not going to sink after one loss," Wills said. "The players showed me something, coming back with three runs in the seventh inning." WILLS, WHO has long aspired to be a big league manager, is the third black skipper in the majors, following Frank Robinson and Larry Doby. "I have known Danny O'Brien for a number of years and I am sure that he selected me to manage not on any social basis but because he believes I can do the job," Wills said. "But many times I wondered why I didn't get an offer to manage in the major leagues. I did a lot of soul- searching. I didn't come up with anything feasible." WILLS BEGAN his major league respect playing career for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1959. In 1962, he stole 104 bases to break the long-standing record of 96 established by Ty Cobb. Lou Brock stole 118 bases in 1974 to break Wills' mark. Wills played with the Dodgers until 1966, when he was traded to the Pit- tsburgh Pirates. He went to the Mon- treal Expos after the 1968 season and was traded back to Los Angeles during the 1969 campaign. WIlls, who had a lifetime batting average of .281 and stole 586 bases in his career, managed four seasons of winter baseball in Mexico and his clubs made the playoffs all four years. Bump Wills, Maury's son and the Texas Rangers' second baseman, said: "I'm probably happier than he is because I know that it's the one thing in his life that he hasn't done and always wanted to do... I can hardly wait to play them." MAURY WILLS, newly appointed Seattle Mariner manager, relates some of his vast knowledge to a pair of players during the team's Monday night . game with California at Anaheim Stadium. Wills had long sought a chance to manage in the major leagues. ( DAILY CLASSIFIEDS (Continued from Page 10) PE RSON A L PRIMALIFEELING THERAPY-The Pe Growth Center, 403 Miller, 973-9764.

Coach Don Shula said Csonka, who had not reported to training camp because of a contract dispute, was' upset by press reports quoting Robbie as saying he had made Csonka a final offer of $230,000 - and that any other NFL team could sign him for the same price without providing compensation for Miami. "The Larry Csonka situation has been brought to a head by the stories in the papers the last two days," Shula said. "Csonka came to see me earlier this morning. He was upset. He asked to be put in a position where he could contact clubs free of contractual obligations to the Dolphins. "The only way this can be done is place him on waivers. If he is claimed and does not want to report to that club as a veteran player, he can opt for free agency and then be free to contact any club," Shula explained. "Or if he is not claimed by any club, then he becomes a free agent and can contact other clubs." NFL teams have 24hours to claim Csonka on waivers. - Another Hearns? KALAMAZOO (AP)-The fame of the Kronk gym, the Detroit sweat- box that has produced two boxing champions in the past few months, has spread far and wide - even to the courtrooms. In a unique sentencing Monday, Kalamazoo County Circuit Judge C.H. Mullen placed a Kalamazoo boxer on three years probation, on the condition that the man sign a professional contract with Kronk trainer Emmanuel Steward within 96 days. Shawn Thomas, a 22-year-old amateur boxer who won four state Golden Glove titles as a 112-pounder, faced sentencing on charges of larceny and use of a stolen credit card. Jail, the judge said later, was certain. But during an impassioned plea for probation, Thomas said he was on the threshold of a professional boxing career. Thomas claimed he would soon sign a professional contract with Steward, whose stable of boxers includes newly crowned World Boxing Association welter- weight champion Thomas Hearns and WBA lightweight champ Hilmer Kenty. Thomas told the judge he wanted to be "an inspiration" to the youth of Kalamazoo. He said sparring with Steward's fighters in Detroit last week made him realize that "being around champions, you feel likea champion." "I just don't want to be another statistic," Thomas told the judge. "I need to be around champions so I can do something with myself. Thomas pleaded guilty to acting as a lookout while two accomplices took a purse from a woman at a Kalamazoo apartment complex last September. Thomas later used the woman's credit card several times, according to the judge. Compensation difficulty NEW YORK (AP) - Acting on request of the clubs involved, National Basket- ball Association Commissioner Larry O'Brien assumed jurisdiction yesterday in the compensation cases involving former free agents Leon Douglas and Tom Burleson. Douglas, a forward-center who had played with Detroit, signed with Kansas City on June 12. Burleson, a center who had been with Kansas City, signed with Atlanta on July 8. I- A
