Allegations Denied by Filipino Consul : Little League: He says reports that overage players were used to defeat Long Beach in the title game are false.

The consul general of the Philippines charged here Friday that allegations that his nation deliberately used overage players on the team that won the Little League World Series were planted by a rival group to hamper the development of youth baseball in the Philippines.

Victor G. Garcia, speaking after a news conference called to “put the record straight” could not, however, remember the name of the organization, although he claimed that it was “out to discredit our boys.”

He said that Little League Baseball, Inc. in Williamsport, Pa., had been warned about the intentions of the rival group long before the championship game was played.

Garcia said that all of the players were still 12 years old as of Aug. 1, the deadline set by Little League. He said that birth records had been checked at least three times for accuracy, both in Williamsport and in the Philippines. “Our boys won fair and square and now this issue is being raised,” he said.

Officials at Little League headquarters were unavailable for comment.

On Thursday, the Philippine Daily Inquirer quoted unidentified sources as saying that Philippine officials faked birth certificates and other identification papers for several players on the Zamboanga City team that defeated Long Beach in the title game of the Little League World Series, 15-4.

The Inquirer also quoted an unidentified Philippines coach as saying that cheating is widespread in the Far East and that trainers in his country had gone so far as removing body hair from players in the past to avoid raising suspicions about their ages at international tournaments.

It further quoted Ian Tolentino, who had hit a home run and pitched against Long Beach in the championship game, as saying that he had played in a Bronco League championship tournament in the Far East two years ago. The Bronco age limit is 13.

The report prompted Long Beach-area Little League officials to begin an investigation. District 28 Administrator Bob McKittrick said Friday that he is waiting for information from Bronco officials before filing a protest.
