Jones Calls
’Dogs Tough
we a game,
can win.”
That’s how Coach Chris Jones
describes tonight’s game bet
ween the Eagles and Decatur
Bulldogs.
‘‘They’re tough. I* will take a
good effort on our part to win,”
the coach said.
Coach Jones said Thursday
that Griffin was looking forward
to the big game.
‘‘T .2 boys want to make am
ends for the licking they took
in Newton County and prove
themselves to their fans,” he
said.
Decatur has a high-powered
offense led by Herbie White, one
of the highest rated players in
Georgia,
Coach Jones plans to assign
Richard Turner, one of Griffin’s
top stars, to defend White.
“I believe Richard will accept
the challenge and do a good
Job,” Coach Jones said.
The Griffin coach called the
Decatur game a “must” for the
Eagles,
In order to get a good seeding
in the 4-AAA Tournament, Grif
fin must finish in the top three
in league standings.
Like most teams in the re
gion, Griffin has two region de
feats. A lost to the Bulldogs
would drop Griffin from among
the leaders.
Actually Griffin hasn’t lost to
a 4-AAA team. The two losses,
one to LaOrange and one to
Newton County, were to teams
designated region opponents by
league officials.
The Decatur game will end
Griff in’s extended road trip.
The Fugles will play at home
Tuesday Ught for the first time
since Jan. 14.
In fact, Griffin has two home
gairas next week. Mary Per
sons of Forsyth will be in tc~-n
Tuesday and Jonesboro will be
he j Friday.
Griffin closes the season on
Saturday, Feb. 12 against Lanier
in Macon. Lanier has been de
signated a region opponent.

Do People Or Small
Group Want Baseball?
By MILTON RICHMAN I
UPI Sports Writer
NEW YORK (UPI) -Nothing
ever is completely one-sided.
Outside the courtroom, law
yers like to kid about that by
telling each other, “there
always are equities on both
sides of a problem.”
This also holds tru e for the
current conflict between the
State of Wisconsin and the
Atlanta Braves which, If
nothing else, has at least
reduced that somewhat tire
some squabble between the
NCAA and AAU to a mere
backseat argument.
The first point that should be
made about the Braves, and
has been made over and over
again, Is that they are far from
lily-white In the manner that
they grabbed their hat and coat
in Milwaukee and made a bee
line for Atlanta. They rate no
applause for that.
But, as they say down at the
mint, let’s have a look at the
other side of the coin.
Those forces opposing the
Braves’ departure from Mil
waukee and Insisting that the
National League expand Imme
diately so as to include their
city, show some distinct signs
of tattletale gray.
Different Sounds
On one hand, lor example,
Judge Elmer W. Roller, the
state’s attorney made this
statement:
“In any event, of course It’s
possible, practical to stock a
club and a club, your honor,
which Is comparable to the
Braves.”
That one takes the cake.
Valuable Crew
Granted the Braves were no
world-eaters last season when
they finished fifth, but does the
state of Wisconsin honestly
think that ball players like
Hank Aaron, Joe Torre, Tony
Cloninger and Felipe Alou
simply grow on trees?
Where do they propose a new
team in Milwaukee would get
players like these? From the
Mats or the Astros? Forget it.

attorneys for the state of
Wisconsin argue that baseball
is a monopoly; on the other
hand, they are petitioning for a
franchise which would make
them part of the same
monopoly they are condemning.
Occasionally, the state of
Wisconsin becomss so ovar
zealous in its effort to have a
team in Milwaukee this year
that nothing else in the world
seems to matter. Not even the
entire structure of baseball.
That’s sure what it sounded
like judging from the official
transcript of circuit court
proceedings last Dec. 23.
“The basic argument which
we make is that monopoly must
operate reasonably,” declared
one of the state’s attorneys.
“And If It does operate
reasonably, then we suggest to
the court it can live.”
“On the contrary,” continued
the attorney, “if baseball will
continue to insist that there is
no way that it can live and
operate reasonably, then it may
be that it shall have to be
destroyed because business,
any business, whether it be
baseball or any other business,
has no right to say to the state
of Wisconsin or to this court,
we have the right to disobey
the law.”
And the day before that
Court
2
And the Dodgers aren’t about
to hand over Sandy Koufax or
Don Drysdale, either.
Then there’s still another
aspect in which the state of
Wisconsin comes off no better
than the Braves. The state’s
litigation is being financed by
money from Wisconsin taxpay
ers. Most of them already have
said good-riddance to the
Braves.
The natural question now
arises, who would benefit most
from a new franchise in
Milwaukee, the people of
Wisconsin or a small group of
wealthy sportsmen, who have
suddenly discovered that base
ball is a grand old game?
