couple of little buys with big heartsi The "Tugger" Tug McGraw called it quits from Major League baseball after giving the fans of New York and Philadelphia 19 years of great efforts McGraw was washed up a few years ago. but with the numbers the way they were on the Phildelphia roster, he hung around I'm sure we'll see more of McGraw in years to come Another guy we'll see more of is that Doug Flutie kid He made his first start with New Jersey on Satur

0 day and. after a slow start, did pretty well If the U.S.F.L. survives. Doug Flutie will have a , long and great career in the minor leagues Personally I think that if you want the fond memories of the United States Football action get them this season The league will fold after this, its third year Reports say that Los Angeles and Houston are on the verge of biting the dust. The league has already lost its only two Champions. Michigan, and Philadelphia, and will lose another after Houston wins the title this year
