one-year contracts each, the National

trade with the San Francisco 49ers
last season, was the only Browns
veteran to play out his option after the
season. He led the team in scoring in
1981 with 61 points.

Gardner's contract renewed
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - In a show of
confidence yesterday, the slumping
Minnesota Twins renewed Manager
Billy Gardner's contract through the
1983 season.
The Twins have lost their last eight
games, 13 of their last 14 and 31 in their
last 38.
GARDNER SAID owner Calvin Grif-
fith called him into his office yesterday
morning and gave him the news. He
said he had not been concerned about
being fired.
"I've been in the game 38 years," the
54-year-old Gardner said. "I don't
worry about those things. I told my
wife I'm not going to look over my
shoulder.
"I never really considered being
fired. But it makes me feel good. I'm
just happy to still be in the big
leagues."
GARDNER, A former major league
infielder and an original member of the
Twins when the team moved to Min-
nesota from Washington in 1981, took
over as manager May 22, 1981, when
Johnny Goryl was fired.
Gardner said he hoped his contract
renewal would help the team.
"For one thing, they the players will
know the things I do will carry over un-
til next year," he said. "We've got a lot
of young kids and I know now I'll be
with them the rest of the year."
Rookie first baseman Kent Hrbek,
one of the most productive members of
baseball's youngest team, agreed.
"It helps him because maybe he can
bear down on us a little more," Hrbek
said.
"I hope he sticks around as long as
I'm horn Ilike nlavina for the man."
