Low-paying Ti-Cats won’t

HAMILTON (CP) — Five

Petarn to ‘the Canadian
Football League club next
season because of poor pay.
The five are slotback Mike

Harris, wide receiver Terry -

Free agents put —
records on line

NEW YORK (AP) — Out-
fielder Oscar Gamble and
itcher Mike Torrez of-
icially joined the list of
baseball free agents
Tuesday, declaring their
intention to go through the
reentry draft later this
week,

And Bill Veeck, whose
Chicago White Sox em-
loyed Gamble last season,

fared his intention to
keep his wallet in his pocket

when the numbers start to.

climb after Friday’s se-
lections. .

Both Gamble and Torrez
could have pulled out of the
draft ght. by. signing. with
mi signing wi
their old clubs but both
decided to test the free
agent waters instead and
added their names to the
lengthy list of players up for
graba.

Torrez won 17 games for
New York Yankees and had
two victories during the
World Series. Gamble
slugged 31 home runs and
batted .297 for the White

SOx.
Both are six-year
veterans, one of a number of

categories supplying the
player pool for the draft.
Two other players, : out-
fielder John Hale and pit-
cher Diego Segui, were re-
moved from the list of
eligibles as clubs entered
the closed predraft period
with no further signings
permitted until after the re-
entry process.

Besides Gamble, the list
of available talent includes
another White ‘Sox slugger,
outfielder Richie Zisk,
Veeck said it would cost $1
million a year to sign the
two players and that he
wouldn’t pay that price.

“Tt would cost $1 million a
year to sign them for
anywhere from three to five
years,’’ said Veeck. “That's
what their two paycheques
would have added up to in
1976."

REGGIE was TOS ad
2 paycheques produc
from Friday's draft ‘will
total considerably more
than that. Last year’s most
‘expensive free agent was
slugger Reggie Jackson, the
first player selected, who
signed for $2.9 million with

_ New York Yankees. And

Jackson’s success, par-
ticularly during the World

‘Series when he set several

slugging records, seemed to
justify the investment.

The expansion Toronto
Blue Jays own the opening
selection in Friday’s draft
followed by Atlanta,
Oakland, New York Mets,
Seattle, San Diego, Mil-
waukee, Montreal,
Cleveland, San Franeisco,
Detroit, Chicago Cubs, and
California.

Then come Houston, Min-
nesota, St. Louis,’ Chicago
White Sox, Cincinnati,
Texas, Pittaburgh, Boston,
Los Angeles, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, the Yankees
and Kansas City.

Draft order, of course,
means little in the over-all
picture since players will be
chosen up to 13 times each
and whether they are picked
on the first, second, third or
any succeeding round by a
team makes little difference
except to designate in which

layers individual clubs

ve the most interest.

There re several
wrinkles in this year’s draft

formed the talent pool a
year ago,

tions last season, have been
eliminated from the playoffs
this year for the first time
since 1973. .

“T’va got nothing to show
forthe 2.5 years I’ve been
with the Ticats,” said Shaw,
an all-star last season, “I’m
in my option year and I

™m
established in this league -
and I'll play if they pay me.
Otherwise I'm gone.”

_ Gelley, the only Canadian,
in the league holding down
the difficult safety position,
said he was embarrassed to

talk about his salary which
ig less than $15,40 while
most other safeties in the
league earn more than

$20,000.

“It would take a whole lot
of money to keep me here,”
said Gelley. “I'm the only
Canadian safety in the
league and what Hamilton is
paying is a joke.

“T¢ really is embarassing
because secretaries are
being paid more.”
HAS OTHER REASONS

-” Evanshen, a veteran of 13

CFL seasons, said money
was not the only reason he .
would like to move on. :
“There has been a
frustration of not belonging
to the team. It’s a com-
bination of various factors, |
but let's just say I have felt I
have not been able to be
productive because of the
offensive structure.”
Harris, who expects to be

. picked early in the next Na-

tional Football League
draft, said that for a few
dollars more the Ticats
could have had the talent to
get to the Grey Cup game.

“T'm not asking for a
million dollars or anything
like that, just enough to live
by,” said Harris who claims

‘to have earned $18,000 in his

option year this season.

“I don’t want to be single
for the rest of my life and I
don’t want to worry about
home and family when my
career ends. I want is
something Ican live with, so
I can ‘put a few dollars
away.”

--Harrison, a Canadian |;
Fegaing gover ed
rgaining power is e
because he is not a regular
starter, will earn about

$12,500 this year.
