AUGUST 9. 1969 4500 Allen Calls Skinner 'Quitter9: Fine Set at About not receive in June and July will not be returned to him, for it already has been donated to; charity. Owner Bob Carpenter recently that, since Allen is reputed to be earning around $75,000 per year, he is not paid like the other players. "That's true," Harrison said when asked if Allen were paid on a year-round basis.

"He's paid the first and 15th of every montl throughout the year. "But," Harrisor hastened to most of the flight to Cincinnati. But he was wide awake on arrival, and serious in his remarks and in a hurry He didn't want to miss the afternoon at the races. "I resent being made the scapegoat in another managerial firing," he said. Nobody pointed out that the call my own shots.

How can they; say that when all I want to do is get out of here? "I'll finish out these last five weeks" the National League season ends Oct. 2 "and that's all." Allen denied reports that the Phillies had returned the money taken from him in fines. "That's a damn lie." he said "He claims there was disharmony on the club. Well, he had the reins it was up to him to do something about it. "All I know is that everybody is getting out of here" meaning PniladeJphia, of course "but me, aud I'm the one who wants to go.

If Skinner had done what they wanted him to do and gotten rid of me last win- learned, with respect to the loss of salary he suffered during his recent 26-day suspension from the club. It was reported earlier that he'd been docked between 51,000 and $12,000. Because the slugging first baseman -unlike other players! is paid on a 12-month basis, he actually lost less than one-half that amount, or about donated $5000 to the Police Athletic League for the Larry treatment of the star player, though, naturally-, Allen touched on none of this in a running conversation with the press Friday morning at the Cincinnati Airport as the Phillies prepared to take off for their hotel. "How can Bob Skinner quit on account of me?" he demanded. "He didn't show me much.

Who likes a quitter? I've been taking the rap for five years now and I haven't quit." It was a quiet trip for Richie. A symphony in scarlet, he arrived betimes in his Edwardian suit at Philadelphia's International Airport and slept through By ALLEN LEWIS Of The Inquirer Staff CINCINNATI, Aug. 8. Richie Allen, who missed the bus Thursday afternoon for Reading, caught the plane Friday morning for Cincinnati and, after an afternoon at the races at River Downs, reported at Crosley Field in the evening for the Phillies' game with Cincinnati. To that extent, at least, the rhillies' new manager, George Myatt, the third-base coach until Bob Skinner angrily quit the driver's seat Thursday, was ahead of the game.

So was Allen, The Inquirer Gibbons Athletic Center and the Frank Rizzo Athletic Center. Asked about this donation, the Phillies' executive vice president and treasurer, George Harrison, confirmed the amount of the donation to the PAL and also the fact that the salary withheld Phils didn't fire Skinner; he quit. .1 Knf TK fina Kararl An hie' vehemently. "I haven't got a bit 'ter, he'd still be here. "From what I understand, he's of my fine money back.

Every thing I've done, I've paid for." a'd, "you can't figure out Allen' total salary from that amount. "First of all, we estimated what he would have received after taxes and then, purposely, we a ded a certain amount to bring it to $5000." the one who talked them out of making a deal for me. This undoubtedly is true. But take-home pay, was close to one-twelfth, rather than one-sixth, of his salary. This may have added fuel to Skinner's anger in his dispute with the front office over the "I respect Skinner as a man, but let's be honest," Richie continued.

''He still has to prove himself as a manager. He can't put all the blame for that 44-64 record on me. "They holler about me being, from Allen was included in that amount. The logical conclusion was just how much did Richie actually pay? Certainly the money Allen did spoiled.

Changing managers does nothing for a weak bullpen, nor does it help contain the slugging Cincinnati Reds, the and their new manager, George Myatt, discovered to their dismay Friday night at Crosley Field. The Phillies had a three-run lead when the Reds exploded for live runs in the sixth inning and five more in the seventh to waltz to a 12-5 victory before 15,263. The Reds hammered five home runs, the last three against hurlers who worked in relief of starter Grant Jackson.

BILLY WILSON LOSER Billy Wilson (2-5), one of the Phillies' top bullpen performers in recent weeks, replaced Jackson in the sixth, was tagged for successive homers by Lee May and Johnny Bench, the only batters he faced, and was charged with the loss. In contrast, the Reds called cn Jack Fisher to replace righthander Tony Cloninger with the Phillies leading by 5-2 in the sixth inning, and the rotund righthander pitched hit-less ball through the last four innings. The Reds' other homers were give away a healtny player anaj get one that is disabled in re- turn," Retzlaff said.

Maybe he figured he could really hurt me with some other club that might have wanted me by branding me a troublemaker. "But it won't hurt with the real baseball They know what I can do.

I want to see the club finish .500 and prove Skinner wrong. I really mean that." ALLEN said he was surprised with Skinner's timing in resigning. "On Tuesday I told him I didn't want to go to Reading for the exhibition game.

I didn't feel it was part of the season. "But then I spoke to Clem Capozzoli (Allen's business adviser). I decided to go to Reading because my brother plays up there and my family would be going up. "There are no deals between Bob Carpenter and myself. Carpenter is just the type of man you can go to and sit down and talk with.

Skinner makes it sound that I'm hard to handle because I had a lever with the front office. Well, I don't. "If I had been the manager of this team, and I had a player who wanted to be traded, I would have seen that it was done. What's the use of keeping someone around who isn't happy? Another thing is that if I were managing, all I'd want from a player is what I got from him when he went on the field. "I can just imagine what it's going to be like when I get home.

But hat cai I do? All I want is to play baseball and be left alone."
