= Francis Replaces Sullivan | As New York Ranger Coach NEW YORK (AP) -- Emile Francis, who traded angry words with a goal judge and swapped punches with a fan two weeks ago, has a tougher fight on his hands today. The scrappy New York Ran- gers general manager has the task of guiding the Blues back up the National Hockey League ladder after replacing Red Sul- livan as coach Monday. Sul- liyan, 35, remains with the club as co-ordinator of player per- sonnel and talent scout, Francis, 39, who has rebuilt the club with a series of major trades in the 13 months since he took over as general man- ager, takes command with the Rangers in the midst of a six- game winless string that has dropped them back to fifth place, only two points in front of cellar - dwelling Boston Bruins. as New York has managed just one victory in the last 10 starts and only two in the last 14, Sul- livan, im his third full season Stanley Cup playoffs," Francis ' said. 'We've had a bad streak fa) recently but we feel the club can snap out of it." Sullivan agreed. "I think we still have a good shot at the playoffs and if anybody can do the job, Emile's the guy." Emile's also the guy who nearly precipated a full-scale riot in Madison Square Garden two weeks ago when he raced from his seat to argue with goal judge Arthur Reichert over a disputed call. The ex-goaltender got into a squabble with some fans and a dozen Ranger players had to scale the glass partition to res- cue their diminutive boss. The incident cost Francis and his players $1,800 in fines. Francis has had only limited coaching experience, piloting Guelph of the Ontario Hockey Association Junior A series, a Ranger farm team, in 1960-61 and 1961-63.

New York, Sul- / Knowles For BALTIMORE (AP) -- Jack Brandt, who some observers feel still hasn't lived up to his baseball potential at age 31, will have a chance to impress new bosses next season. Baltimore Orioles traded the veteran outfielder along with pitcher Darold Knowles to Phil- adelphia Phillies Monday for relief pitcher Jack Baldsch Orioles Trade Brandt, Baldschun ion. Last year he apparently killed one, and then called time to give it a ecent burial in the batter's box. Another time, he struck out and then checked his bat to see if it was broken. Brandt finished with a .243 average for 96 games, hit eight home runs and drove in 24 runs, Baldschun, 29, a right-hander; Brandt, known as flakey be- cause of his eccentric behavior, should fit right in with other notables the Phillies have as- sembled from American League clubs. The Phils obtained first-base- man Dick Stuart from Boston Red Sox and pitcher Bo Belin- sky from Los Angeles last sea- son, and recently added in- fielder Phil Linz in a trade with New York Yankees. Brandt bites his fingernails in the outfield while awaiting the next pitch and works hard at looking nonchalant while chas- ing a fly ball. At bat, Brandt frequently waves off bugs -- imaginary or posted a 5-8 mark last season, saving 17 decisions while ap- pearing in 71 games in 1964. He was 12-7 in 1962, Knowles, considered a top prospect, had an 11-5 mark with Rochester of the International League last year. The 24-year- old left-hander opened the sea- son with Baltimore and was re- called again in August.
