WFL Players Hungry
for Money and Food
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Players on at least four World Football
League teams haven't been paid lately. Now
one team has given the impression that it is
begging for food, and another is missing a set
of uniforms,
Players on the Portland Storm, who accord
ing to sources haven't been paid for six
weeks, were taken to a local restaurant for
lunc - h on Sunday by a benevolent
businessman. A team official said other meal
donations are needed badly.
Ron Mix, the Storm's general manager,
said he was trying "to get some money from
any source" to take care of the players' day
to-day needs. The players, who threatened to
boycott last week's game unless they were
paid, played after being
* assured the team
would get $50,000 of the gate receipts.
But team owner Bob Hatris says the
money hasn't arrived from Florida, and he
has no guarantee it will. Still, the , Stofm
players said they would play their 20th, and
final, regular-season game this week.
Elsewhere; the situation is not so clear.
For instance:
—Chicago Fire owner Tom Origer has
called \ off his team's final game, ending its
playdfPchances. He says he has lost $BOO,OOO
this year and is looking for investors. Origer
said his team didn't deserve to be in the
playoffS and he is , against eight teams in the
playoffs since there are only 10 teams left in
the league.
—James Healey, revenue director of the
city of Birmitgham, says the WFL's
Americans owe $14,000 in, sales taxes. Of
ficials say they have been promied payment
by -this Tuesday, and Healey says if he
doesn't get it he will seek injunction to bar
the team from playing any more home
games. The Americans are supposed to play
Shreveport in Birmingham Wednesday night.
—The Charlotte Hoinets are minus one set
of uniforms confiscated by sheriff's
deputies because the team hadn't paid a
laundry bill. As far as- could be learned,
hoWever, the Hornets will play this week's
game against Memphis, using •their second
set of uniforms.
The Hornets are among the WFL teams
which are running behind on payrolls. Hornet
players were paid for two weeks on Sunday,
but they were told not to cash the checks

Oghtaway. Team officials said they hoped to
mak&a bank deposit on Tuesday.
Then there are the Florida Blazers, who
have not received a regular pay check since
Sept , : 6, although they did get a $75,000 lump
sum payment from one week's gate receipts.
Players have been promised several times
they will be paid once the team is sold, but
the sale has vet to be consummated.
Finally, players on the Southern California
Sun were given two Weeks' back pay this past
weekend. The team's coaching and front of
fice staff still is owed back pay.
Against that backdrop, the league plans to
begin its playoffs next week.
Taiwan expelled
from LL series
WILLIAMSPORT. Pa:• Little
League Baseball has changed its World
Series format to exclude teams from outside
the continental United States.
The move appeared to be aimed at Taiwan,
which has won the series the past four years.
Japan won the championships the previous
two years, and in 1957 and 1958. Monterey.
Mexico, to9k the title for boys under 12-year
olds.
The announcement yesterday trom Little
League ffeadquarters said all its local
leagues had been advised, that henceforth
entries for the annual series in August would
be limited to the United States.
Little Lague said the move was a decision
of the board of directors after a review and
reassessment of the competition.
Little League said regional championship
series would be continued in Canada, the Far
East, Europe and Latin America. The action
does not affect the senior or big league World
Series Little League program.
A Little League spokesman cited travel
costs for foreign entires and the nationalistic .
approach tarn abroad. He described the
U.S. Little League programs as regional in
makeup.
Since the Little League broadened its scope
in 1957 and 1958 to include teams outside the
continental United States, 20 foreign teams
competed in the program.
