tough forwards. Fitch will lead 16 hopefuls through two-a-day drills until Friday. Then' the Cavs' yearlings will travel to Philadelphia for a game with the 76er rookies and then both clubs will have 3 return engagement Sunday night at the Arena. BIGGEST difference in this year's rookie camp and last year's," said Cloverleaf Will Host Star Circuit Three divisions will be seeing action in tonight's stock car racing at Cloverleaf Speedway. The late model superstocks, along with Pony racers.

will dominate the action, but the new "Circuit of Stars" made up of the top eight sport-stock drivers from the 'Leaf. Lorain County, and Painesville Speedways, will get their first outing. ROY GEMBERLING, Kent, is due back into active super-stock service tonight with the fresh No. 41 Chevelle, masterpieced by Dick Krotz of Mentor. Ile's been out of competition for a month since demolishing his previous mount in Pennsylvania.

Ron Fike, Parma, will be wheeling his 1969 Mercury Cyclone toward a retake of his point lead. John Moore. Bedford, became No. 1 last week. partially on the strength of his fourth 1971 feature victory.

lle now leads 1275 to 1260. The "Circuit of Stars" is planned to bring into close proximity the drivers who are the most promising candidates to make the jump either this year or next to the major super-stock division. IT WILL enable these pilots and their car owners to observe the technical additions and changes which they would have to make to their Sport -Stock machines to be competitive in the higher class division.

Bracho is a member of the National Honor Society, the Key Club and the Pep Club. Doug (Rusty) Bracho. Plain Dealer basketball allscholastic. from North Olmsted lligh, and last win- Sandlot Dust By Dan Coughlin Skip Felice and Bob Rosin shook hands and made up, but that doesn't mean brotherly love has returned to the I'D-Major softball league at Morgana Park.

With six teams battling for the pennant -the tightest race in the league's history-. no one is bold enough to predict a tranquil summer at the E. 65th St. and Broadway Ave. diamond.

Rosin still bears the scars of the most recent flareup. Rosin, second baseman for Non-Ferrous Metal, charges that Felice stomped on him during a melee last Tuesday. Rosin exhibited a deep spike wound on his right leg and two superficial cuts on his left foot. Rosin says that while he was pinned to the ground, Felice stomped on him with both spiked shoes. FELICE.

PITCHER for Teamsters Local 293 and president of the union, dismisses the charge. "You should see the marks on my neck. Their guys grabbed me around the neck," says Felice, 36, who has been playing in the top league at Morgana since the late 1950's. It's no picnic. either for the umpires, who say the I'D-Major is the toughest league in the city to work.

Nor is it getting any casier, they say. Felice tore into an umpire two weeks ago after a call cost his team a game. Felice, who says he plays hard but not dirty, attributes tensions to the close race. "There's no doubt that spirits are running high." says he. "That's enough to explain it.

Tuesday's incident is all forgotten. We're friends again. Sometimes you do things without thinking in the heat of the battle." THAT'S NOT ENOUGUI, however, for Stan Altman, manager of Non-Ferrous Metals. Altman suggests the umpires take a firmer stand and use a quicker thumb to avoid trouble. A few years ago Altman received a cracked rib in a Morgana altercation.

In the meantime, softball fans may have to move over to make room for boxing buffs in the cozy Morgana bleachers. Fred Kramer drove in all 10 runs with three homers and two singles as Discount Division edged Corporate Division, 10-9, in the Cook United slow pitch league Thursday Ray Akins of Pepper 1 Pot Lounge fired a no-hitter in the St. Ann's fast pitch league last week. the next night Pepper Pot was the victim of a one-hitter by Will Hunt of Colony Lobos. Paul Minnillo got the only hit After 42 games, there's a three battle for home run supremacy on Gene'sAngelo's of the Parma Major.

TED BUDZIK'S .621 batting average sparked the Cleveland Police Department a 7-1 record and first place in the Major Industrial slow pitch league. Arch rival Fire Department, masterminded by slim hurler Butch Colbert, is 4-4 and in a fourway tie for second Next week comes the reckoning for Favorite Knits, unbeaten leader of the Parma Major's National Division. Inter-league play begins Tuesday night with the American Division, which insiders say is the stronger of the two divisions. Mark Wentz, who pitched for St.

Ignatius this spring, missed a Cleveland Class no-hitter by one pitche. He had two strikes on the final batter before giving up a single. Wentz settled for a one-hitter as his Bucks beat the Fine Nine, 5-0.

Centerfielder Ed Kostyack joined W. W. Sly, second baseman Dave Kenscon went to Automatic Sprinkler, and second baseman Glenn Williamson signed with Barry Buick Tim Sorge, who was an all-league pitcher with Reighart Steel two summers ago, has permanently switched to first base.

"is that we now have 3 team to add to. Last yer we were just looking at players. This time we're looking at individual ability. but more importantly, how each player can fit into our existing frame." Only John Johnson of Iowa and Dave Sorenson of Ohio State are still around from those who attended the initial rookie camp a year ago. four guyS make it from this group that will give us 16 at the veterans camp in the fall." Fitch said.

"We know we have weaknesses and we hope to find help in these areas in rookie camp, but if we don't we'll still have other avenues to pursue." FITCH SHOULD come up with at least one rugged forward from this camp in 6-9 Steve Patterson of UCLA even though the club's second I draft pick will be used exclusively at center this week. "Patterson will be strictly a center in this camp," declared Fitch. "I can't make a forward out of him this week. We have to get ready for two Patterson, undoubtedly, will get a thorough test at both the pivot and at the wing in the September camp. The most celebrated recruits will be fighting for employment in the backcourt.

He is the Cavs' No. 1 college pick, Austin Carr of Notre Dame. Another is Charlie Davis, sharp shooter from Wake Forest. OTHERS IN THE guard derby are Brian Mahoney, Manhattan; Bubbles Harris, Indiana; Larry Baker, Wittenberg, and Jackie Ridgle, California. Some of the guards got all the ballyhoo and it would be very easy for them to have a disappointing week." said Fitch, "but I could still see some good in what they do.

"This may sound crazy, but it's possible that maybe a kid couldn't make our club, but could help another team in the league. Then again we may have a kid who we would like to see play a season in some league and come back to us next year." THERE ARE A lot of questions that need answering and Fitch will spend this weck looking for those answers. "I always look forward to camp," he said. "I wouldn't be in this business if I didn't. "It's like a guy playing golf.

You anticipate and look forward to it and then on some holes you wonder why you're out there at all."
