Little League in trouble Kids take bad bounces The Little League has got some big league problems. Years ago, when parents decided to let their children enjoy America's number one sport under adult supervision and community organization, it was a great idea. But little did they know that legal disputes, sexual discrimination, and threats to the ideals of the game would result. Drop in for an inning or two at any Little League game and it's not hard to sense that things are running a bit out of the baselines. Unfortunately, the victims of these injustices are the players themselves, who, no matter what is going on around them, are just trying to have a good time. Blood is thicker than water, and it's at its thickest in the grandstand. Mothers have been known to religiously plunk their lawnchairs close enough to give advice to the coach and judge every pitch better than the umpire himself. These Steeler rookie quits, Dorsett injured LATROBE, Pa. ( AP) Rookie offensive lineman Ron Ayres of Ohio State, a free agent, walked out of Pitts burgh Steeler camp- yester day. No reason was given for his quitting. That reduced the squad to 44 rookies and four veterans. Thirty-three more veterans are scheduled to report today.

Allen St. ladies are the first to tell you that their sons are the indisputable stars of the team and if the little towhead doesn't play every inning, the im mortal salvation of the coach is in question . On the other side of the fence are the parents who can't find the time, or understand why they should even try to, see their child play. They are missing the opportunity to give their time a precious gift to a child. These two cases are the extremes, but they occur often enough to be questioned in terms of their effects on the players The emphasis is on winning. That's fine for high school, college and the pros, but it's questionable if a ten year-old really needs "the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat." Winning has its rewards, society says, even for the young. A victory on the diamond means a stop at the ice cream store on the way home while the manager and his entourage divide up the six packs from the back of the station wagon. _ _ In another matter, Little League couldn't escape the clutches of the Women's Liberation movement.

A JEM production for USG IRVINE, Calif. (AP) Dallas' Tony Dorsett, the first selection in the National Football League draft, suf fered a sprained knee in a Cowboys' scrimmage against the San Diego Chargers yesterday and was expected to be sidelined for three or four days. , • Dorsett, last year's Reisman Trophy winner at the U ' Pittsbl surface, it sounds like a good idea. Kids are kids, and why shouldn't they all learn to play together as equals. What better way to teach them to avoid the perils of sexual discrimination? Right? Maybe. What happens when a boy strikes out against a girl pitcher or is tagged out by a sure-footed female infielder? All hell breaks loose from his bench. "How can you let a girl do that to you? What kind of a man are you." He's not a man he's a boy, so don't expect him to play like one. No one should hassle him any more than if that pitcher or infielder was a boy. that's equality. After • all, children don't learn prejudices until someone teaches it to them. Whether or not girls belong on the same field as boys is debatable. It would probably be better of girls could form leagues of their own, but most communities don't have the facilities. • Despite its problems, Little League is a fine program and no child should be discouraged from getting involved with it. But as in any teaching or coaching instition, the responsibility for its success falls on the adult in struction. And it is up to them to right the wrongs that they have created. said recently he considered himself one of the most durable college running backs ever.
