THE BATTALION
Pepitone quits baseball
CHICAGO (A*) — Joe Pepitone,
colorful and controversial most of
his 10-season big league career,
stunned the Chicago Cubs Tues
day by announcing he was quit
ting baseball.
First baseman Pepitone, 31,
who seemingly found a home with
the Cubs after unhappy partings
with the New York Yankees and
Houston Astros, requested to be
placed on the voluntarily retired
list as of Monday.
The action came as the Cubs
were holding pre-game drills be
fore a scheduled game with the
Atlanta Braves and left team
mates of the popular if unpre
dictable Pepitone astounded.
After announcing his decision
to Vice President John Holland,
Pepitone drafted a letter to be
submitted to National League
President Chub Feeney which
said:
“I hereby request to be placed
on the voluntarily retired list as
of this date, as I am no longer
interested in playing professional
baseball.”
Pepitone, who last season had
his career batting high of .307,
reportedly was chagrined about
being benched recently but also
had been suffering from gastritis
the past week.
He told a crowd of reporters at
Joe’s Thing, his Near North Side
tavern, after returning from
Wrigley Field: “I just lost my
interest in baseball. It wasn’t a
question of whether I was on the
bench or playing. It was no longer
fun playing baseball and it has
n’t been. Actually, this has been
on my mind for about six years.”
Pepitone, with a yearly salary
of $60,000, said he regarded the
Cubs as “the greatest team in
baseball, even though they have
n’t been able to win a pennant.”
The wig-wearing, flamboyant
Pepi also praised Manager Leo
Durocher, declaring, “Last year
I told Leo the day after you might
get fired, I’d quit. There is no
other manager I’d play under.”
“I just don’t know what Joe’s
problem really is,” said Durocher,
who rescued Pepitone in the mid
dle of the 1970 season when Pepi
went AWOL from the Astros.
“Something must be disturbing
him. It’s too bad this has to hap
pen and we have to lose a guy
like that.
“But there’s not much you can
do if he’s disinterested and doesn’t
want to play.”
World Golf Hall of Fame
constructed at Pinehurst
HOUSTON (2P)—A World Golf
Hall of Fame will be constructed
at the famed Pinehurst golf
course in North Carolina, a resort
developer said here Tuesday.
The golf shrine will overlook
the No. 2 hole at the Pinehurst
Country Club with construction
to start in the early fall and com
pletion scheduled for the summer
of next year, William H. Maurer,
president of Diamondhead Corp.,
said.
The National Golf Writers As
sociation will serve as the select
ing agency for the golf hall of
fame and a board of directors
composed of leaders in the busi
ness, sports and entertainment in
dustry will induct the nominees
into the shrine each year.
Maurer said that Don Collett,
former head professional at the
Brae-Burn Country Club in Hous
ton and owner of the Inwood For
est Country Club here, has been
named president and managing
director of the facility.
Pinehurst was selected over
other sites for the hall of fame,
Maurer said, because of its “his
toric association with the game
and its international reputation
as a world-famous center of golf.
“The World Golf Hall of Fame
at the golf capital of the world
in Pinehurst, N. C., will provide
for those who love and enjoy the
