By JOHN NELSON The Associated Press When George Steinbren- ner, principal owner of New . York Yankees, has run out of scapegoats, will it occur to him that he is the only one left to fire? Do you suppose that he would stop to consider that what is wrong with the Yan- kees has nothing to do with Bill Virdon, Billy Martin, Dick Howser, Bob Lemon or even Gene Michael, the latest in what is becoming a redun- dant list of managers? Would the thought occur to him that his ballclub has not improved in the slightest by allowing — or even encour- aging — the flight of such players as Sparky Lyle, Mic- key Rivers, Chris Chambliss, Ron Davis or Bob Watson? The departure and arrival of managers and players has become. so fast and furious it’s like watching the plums and lemons on 4 slot machine go by. Some of the plums, like pitcher Ken Holtzman, have turned out to be lemons — but some of the Lemons, like manager Bob, have been plums. Lately, George has been eranking the handle on his milion-dollar machine as fast as he can. He has shuffled shortstops, first basemen, outfielders, pitchers and Castlegar Minor Hockey Annual Meeting * Election of new executive e held ‘ EVERYONE WELCOME The result has been massive confusion. “A lot of guys on this club don't know their role,” utility infielder Larry Mitbourne said in his understatement of the year. Steinbrenner’s word ap- parently means little. When he fired “Tetnon as ianager Sunday, , he. d an _ At that time, Steinbrenner promised Lemon a full year as manager — even if the Yankees went 0-162 — with the condition that former Yankee manager Michael would take over again in 1983. Instead, Michael re- turned Sunday, 14 games into the season. Milbourne, - not alone among his teammates in ex- pressing shock at the firing, said: “If George said he was going to give Lemon another year, I think he should have. This was his last year, and I thought George could let him go on.” Fourteen games seems hardly long enough to judge any manager, especially one who has taken the Yankees to two World Weries bee one world ch ie 78). in , agreement he. had made with his manager in December.
