Riverside Ave. Point and Henley High school tourney game at Ashland last Ed Bailey Likened To Rare Gem By STEVE GERSTEL Knoxville, Tenn. (IP) Cincinnati's Ed Bailey is like a rare diamond easy to covet but hard to get. Several teams, notably the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants, have expressed interest in the 26-year-old receiver to no avail. The price is high and it should be because Bailey is possibly the best catcher in the National league. Picking up the paper and reading that the Giants are offering Johnny Antonelli as trade bait or the Dodgers are dangling Don Newcombe in front of red officials, doesn't bother Bailey. "I've been in baseball too long," the Straw berry Plains, Tenn., ace says, "to believe I've been traded until I'm notified. "One year, someone from the newspaper called up and told me I'd been traded. The story originated in Houston and it got mixed up some where along the line. I wasn't traded." Plans No Change Despite an off-season last year which saw his batting average slip from .300 to .261, with an accompanying de crease in home runs and runs batted in, Bailey plans no rad ical change in spring training. "I've been doing a lot of thinking about it this win ter, 'he said. "It's just a lot of bad habits you pick up that hurt." . Bailey called his slump last summer "a good one and I never pulled out of it. It was just a bad year." The strapping catcher sees a four-team race this season with the Dodgers, Milwaukee, the Redlegs and the Cards all in contention. Ullman Announces Reelection Plans Washington (IP) Rep.

Phone SP 2-6209 Giant- Pitchers Have Batters Fa nrting Breeze Phoenix, Ariz. (IP) The pitchers got down to business at the San Francisco Giants' training camp here Thursday and the batters who had been rattling the fences all week found themselves swinging at air. Marv Grissom, the Red Bluff, Calif., veteran who'll be 40 next month, set the ex ample for the young hurlers. He was bending tosses in for 10 minutes that even had Willie Mays kicking up dirt. Manager Bill Rigney said there was little doubt that the aging reliefer would make plenty of late inning appear ances during the regular sea son.
