ALL AMERICAN MEAL NOW SERVING: PRIME RIB & POTATOES EVERY HOME GAME SATURDAY HOUSTON — Five United States Football League teams have ap- proched the Houston Gamblers about the possibilty of a merger, general manager Gene Burrough said Wednesday. Burrough, who said he is not op posed to a merger, identified the teams as the Washington Federals, Chicago Blitz, Arizona Wranglers, Pittsburgh Maulers and New Or leans Breakers. “Certainly having some new money in here would help us to sus tain the team to entertain the fans,” Burrough said. However, the general manager was concerned over the possibility only 30 players could be protected from both clubs in a merger. “I’m opposed to having to freeze 30 players,” he said. “I’d rather freeze 40. I have better backup play ers on my team than most teams have starters. We’ve worked hard to build this team and that would flush out the nucleus of our team.” The Gamblers are weak finan cially, but are seen as a strong team in three other areas. Houston had the best television ratings of any USFL team this season, drew well at the gate and is a winning team. “Everyone wants us, we’re the prettiest girl at the dance,” club Pres ident Jerry Argovitz said of the merger talks. Any consolidation would result in a team remaining in Houston, he said. “I’ve had five clubs come to me,” Argovitz said. “We have some op tions. We could leave Houston and merge somewhere else. But as long as our fans support us, we wouldn’t leave.” , AD P^IU. feGRB&AMT m f mgap ccacij cMadsgs tmg R l TRAPlTiOUAL PCST'GAMG MIP-PI&U7 MADC2SUAKE...

Even if he wasn’t, he’d have no trouble realizing his time as Major League Baseball’s commissioner is up by the four oil paintings that hang in one of the foyers only a few feet outside his office. The paintings are of all the com missioners who served before him, Kenesaw M. Landis, A.B. “Happy” Chandler, Ford Frick and William D. Eckert, and not only is there a special space reserved for Kuhn’s portrait but the metal hook on which his likeness will be hung already is in the wall. “They put it up while I was still fighting,” he laughs. Peter Ueberroth, the new com missioner, is finished warming up in the bullpen. Fresh from that miracle he worked at the Olympics by having them show a $150 million profit, he takes over a job that could turn out to be even tougher on Oct. I, next Monday. That’s when he moves into his new 17th floor office on Park Avenue. Kuhn won’t be there to greet him. He has done that already. More than once.

Peter Ueberroth, the new commissioner of major league baseball, is fresh off the miracle he worked at the Olympics by having them show a $150 million profit. missioner until next Monday. Actu ally, he leaves his office physically this Thursday. He’s flying to Seoul, Korea later that evening for the offi cial dedication of the Olympic Sta dium there and the opening of the Korean baseball series. When he returns from Korea, he’ll go back to Willkie Farr &r Gal lagher, the law firm where he was working when he was named com missioner in 1969. That office is only a block and a half from his present one, so he won’t have very far to go. “I’m excited about it,” Kuhn said, looking over some personal files stacked neatly on his office couch in preparation for being packed. He seemed to be deliberating about the files. “I’m wondering whether to take these with me or not,” he said. Kuhn talked some morea old law office and how he fell back there. “It’s a warm, I f >lace for me,” he said. “I wasl or 19 years.
