Hunter happy with Ranger
United Press International
NEW YORK — Billy Hunter
clasped both arms behind his head,
leaned back in the swivel chair in
side the private office they provide
for the visiting team manager at
Yankee Stadium and was as happy
as he possibly could be considering
the circumstances.
His Texas Rangers have been
doing relatively well since he took
them over two months ago. Natur
ally, he wished they were on top in
the American League West instead
of struggling to shake themselves
loose from the Kansas City Royals,
Chicago White Sox and Minnesota
Twins, but they still have a month
to do that and he keeps hoping they
will.
For the moment, he was at peace
with himself and the rest of the
world, thoroughly enjoying the
fresh supply of chewing tobacco he
had just fished out of a silver-lined

He was giving it a good workout.
With Billy Hunter, his immediate

that, comes chewing tobacco. There
are very few things in life Hunter

he said. “I could chew all I wanted

not in the house.”
Occasionally, Hunter cheats a lit
tle.
“If I’m mowing the lawn and get a
phone call inside the house, I don’t
take the tobacco out of my mouth, ”
he said. “That’s providing I don’t
stay on the phone too long. If it’s a
long call, I gotta get it out.”
Hunter first began chewing when
he was 16.
“I grew up in western Pennsyl
vania, which is a big coal mining
area, and one of the prerequisites of
becoming a ball player in that sec
tion of the country was that you had
to chew tobacco, ” he said.
In the 30 years he has been in
professional baseball, Hunter re-
