Yanks trade ‘problem chUd^
Rivers flows south to Texas
United Press International
NEW YORK — The New York
Yankees Monday traded problem
child outfielder Mickey Rivers to
the Texas Rangers for three minor
league players.
The Yankees, apparently fed up
with Rivers’ disciplinary problems,
dealt him to Texas for first baseman-
designated hitter Gary Gray, out
fielder Mike Hart and infielder
Domingo Ramos.
Rivers, the speedy outfielder who
helped the Yankees to back-to-back
world championships, has consis
tently been a problem with his erra
tic behavior. But this season, the
club felt his figures did not justify
his antics and traded him for the
three promising youngsters.
Rivers, 30, was batting .287 with
18 doubles, five triples and three
homers and 25 RBI in 74 games. He
has stolen three bases but has been
caught seven times.
The Ranger front office said that
to make room for Rivers, second
baseman Bump Wills had been

placed on the 15-day disabled list
with a sprained ankle. Rivers him
self just got off the disabled list with
a separated shoulder.
Rangers’ officials hoped Rivers
would be in uniform by Monday
night’s game against the Detroit Ti
gers at Arlington.
In recent weeks Ranger cen-
terfielder Al Oliver has been ailing
with an injured left hand that has
made it impossible for him to grip
the ball correctly. On a pivotal play
in Sunday night’s game against the
Boston Red Sox, Oliver caught a
shallow pop fly but was unable to
make a throw that could have cut
down the go-ahead run at the plate.
The Rangers went on to lose 3-2.
Rivers, who was acquired from
California in December 1975 along
with pitcher Ed Figueroa in a trade
for outfielder Bobby Bonds, batted
.312 in 1976 and .326 in 1977 before
falling off to .265 last season when
he was plagued with leg injuries.
Gray batted .238 in a brief stay
with Texas earlier this season and is
hitting .303 in 51 games with Tuc
son of the Pacific Coast League.
Hart, a speedy switch-hitting out
fielder, is batting .304 at Tucson and
has scored 75 runs.
Ramos, a former Yankee who
went to Texas a year ago along with
pitcher Sparky Lyle, plays second
and shortstop and is batting .248 in
95 games with Syracuse of the
International League.
Gray and Hart will remain at Tuc
son for the remainder of the PC sea
son and then will be reassigned to
the Yankees’ organization. Ramos
will move immediately to the Yan
kees’ Columbus farm club in the
International League.
The Yankees are expected to ac
tivate Juan Beniquez from the dias-
bled list to fill Rivers’ on spot the
roster.

Foyt hits energy policies
United Press International
COLLEGE STATION — Race
driver and automobile dealer A.J.
Foyt says having energy policies de
termined by the federal legislators
and bureaucrats is like having your
car tuned by a mechanic who cannot
find the spark plugs.
“You know, people (in the federal
government) are now gung ho about
using alcohol as fuel. I ve been hear
ing them on TV,” Foyt said. “In rac
ing we’ve been running alcohol way
before my time because it was more
economical, it burned cleaner and
everything."
Foyt’s comments were unsolic
ited at a post-race news conference
Sunday. Speaking to a large number
of reporters, he said getting closer
to problems of race drivers and of
city drivers would help those study
ing energy problems.
“It might smarten them up a bit,
he said.
“In the Energy Department
you’ve got a lot of people that are
just ex-lawyers that don’t really
know how to start a car. I don’t
know of any of them that I ve heard
talk on TV about mileage, cars and
A.J. Foyt
“No, because I think it
put to them just like that,
that's the way it is. They:
that are wrong and (the i
ing a damn fool out of us to
of the world.”
Asked after the news
specifically what federal
policies he disliked, Foyt
of them.”

the EPA that could take a set of
spark plugs out.
“I guarantee, you ain’t got two of
them in Washington, the Senate or
the Congress, that could even take a
set of spark plugs out. And yet they
are going to sit there while the aver
age layman like you or me are going
to pay a hell of a lot more money for
a car that is nothing more than a pile
of (bleep). That’s the way I feel
about it.
He was asked if he cared to re
phrase his comment without the
expletive.
