Lum Lauds Brave’s Bene h In Opener
By RABUN MATTHEWS
ATLANTA (UPI) — Shortstop
Sonny Jackson and third base
man Clete Boyer, two guys at
tempting comebacks, and a pair
of left fielders who a week ago
didn’t even figure to play, gave
the Atlanta Braves a thrilling
5-4 victory Monday night—the
first opening game win by the
Braves in four seasons.
Manager Luman Harris and a
crowd of 36,316 —most of them
around at the finish despite a
chilly night—couldn’t have been
happier.
“It was that bench,” beamed
Harris after watching the Brav
es rally for two ninth inning
runs off right-handed San Fran
cisco reliever Frank Linzy. “We

Good Show Bet
AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPl)—Based i
on past form, Bert Yancey is a <
good “show” bet for this week’s
Masters golf tournament. 1
Thai's horse talk for being 1
third—exactly where the former 1
West Point cadet finished here
in ’67 and ’6B, and the only two
times he’s played in the
Masters which starts its *69 run
Thursday.
“There are a lot of reasons
why I play well here,” said
Yancey who put together the
lowest eight-round scare o( the
last two Master'—l3 under par.
“It’s, the way I feel about the
Augusta National Cour to and
the way I feel about the
tournament Itself. It took me so
long to get here, I’m not about
to play bad. That would be an
insult to the course and the
tradition.”
Yancey, who has had great
success as a pro since a mental ‘
breakdown forced him to leave
the Military Academy in 1961,
has a reputation as a fine putter
—considered the key to shooting
low scores here at the Augusta
National.
But a touch of tendonit’s this
past winter loiced him to give
up golf tor a couple of months
and although he appears to be
back in the groove now, he says '
he’s still concern* d.
Today is the last full day the !
Masters entries have a chance I
to practice over the imposing -
Augusta National Course. The :
course will be closed Wednes
day afternoon for last minute ;
trimming while the golfers turn i
instead to the lush, adjacent
par-3 course for their annual ;
pitch-and-putt battle. ;
The 30-year-old Yancey, win- ;
ner of more than $65,000 in each ■
of his last two years on the pro ■
golf tour, was tied for the lead ’
going into the final round of the
’67 Masters but wound up four ,
strokes off winner Gary Brew- ,
er’s pace by closing with a 73-
284.
Last year, he took a different
route to third; climbing over a
lot of people with a last-round 1
65 to a 279 that left him two
strokes behind champion Bob
Goalby and one behind Roberto
de Vincenzo.
“I don’t want to sound big
headed, but I feel I’ll always
play well here,” said Yancey,
Who plays out of Tallahassee,
Fla. “I don’t play as well at
many cf the other places I have 1
to play. Every year, about this i
time, I can think only of the 1
Masters.
“There’s something about (
Augusta that starts me putting ■
well,” Yancey added. "A lot of ,
it is plain enjoyment. For some
reason, I don’t worry about any. ‘

but we’ve got one this time.”
Coming off a disappointing
fifth place finish last year, At

cisco—rated up there with At
lanta and Cincinnati in the Wes
tern Division of the National
League.
Trailing 4-3 going into the
ninth and with the bottom of
the batting order coming to the
plate, it appeared the Braves
would drop another opener as
they have done each season
since 1965.
But Boyer got his second
single of the night leading off
the ninth and was sacrificed to
second by rookie catcher Bob

other tournaments.
“I just play my own game,”
he continued. “If I finish third,
that’s good. If I win, that’s

Atlanta Wins
In San Diego
By United Press International
The home court advantage
finally didn’t pay off in the
Atlanta-San Diego series.
Atlanta hadn’t won a game in
San Diego all year and San
Diego hadn’t won a game in
Atlanta and that's the way the
first five games of their
Western Division semifinals
series went with Atlanta holding
a 3-2 edge.
But Atlanta turned in a 108-
106 victory over San Diego at
San Diego in the sixth game
Monday night to wrap up the
series in six games. The Hawks
will now face Los Angeles in the
Western Division finals.
Lou Hudson scored 27 points
and Bill Bridges added 24 for
the Hawks while Elvin Hayes
and Don Kojis had 26 each for
San Diego.
San Diego led for the first
three quarters but Atlanta,
trailing 73-54 in the third period,
rallied to take the lead a: d held
Tech, Georgia
Win In Baseball
Georgia Tech continued to
romp over small-name colleges
and Georgia edged North Caro
lina Monday in college baseball.
The Bulldogs pushed across
one run in the last of the 11th
inning on three straight walks
given up by Ed Hill to beat
North Carolina in a non-conf
erence game at Athens.
Tech’s freshman Mike Sorry
pitched the Yellow Jackets to
their ninth win in an 8-1 romp
over William Jewell College of
Missouri at Atlanta.
In the Georgia game, the Tar
Heels had tied the score 5-5 in
the seventh Inning on Charlie
Thomas’ triple. Mike Harrelson
got on first for the Bulldogs in
the bottom of the 11th after
three scoreless innings.
Hill gave up three walks in a
row to force Harrelson across
with the winning run. Junior
Bob Cannon went all the way
for Georgia to stretch the Bull
dogs’ record to 8-5 overall and
4-4 in the Southeastern Confer
ence.
Didier. Jackson, who drove in
the first run in the second in
ning, drilled a line shot over the
head of centerfielder Willie May
for a game tying triple.
Mike Lum, a defensive re
placement for Tito Francona
who started in left after Rico
Carty’s comeback from a bout
with tuberculosis was delayed
when he disclocated a shoulder
Friday, drilled a single through
the drawn-in Infield for the de
cisive run.
Jackson and Boyer both miss
ed most of last season with
crippling injuries and have been
question marks all spring, al
though Boyer says “I got my
self in shape early and had a
good spring.”
“I think I play the course like
Ben Hogan used to. You have
to play comparatively safe. This
course rewards a good shot: if
you get greedy, you can be
penalized severely.”

Said Near Move
BOSTON (UPl)— The Boston
Patriots of the American

threshold of moving to Seattle”
with their departure “so im
minent it could happen within a
few days,” the Boston Herald
Traveler said today In a
copyrighted story.
Tho paper said “tne only
chance of a 12th hour reprieve
to prevent a Patriots’ move
appears to be favorab’e action
by the (Massachusetts' legisla
ture on the various stadium
bills before it. And this appears
to be a fragile thread.”
The Patriots have been
seeking a new sports stadium In
the Greater Boston area for
some time, and are under
“heavy pressure” from pro
football leaders to move imme
diately, according to the report.
Seattle is prepared to wel
come the Pats, the paper said,
and construction of a stadium
has been authorized. As an
interim measure, the Patriots
could be housed at Sicks*
Stadium, temporary home of

Griffin Daily News
A good season by the two
would go far toward making the
Braves a contender.
Francona got two singles,
scored a run and drove li a
run before leaving for Lum in
the seventh, giving Carty’s re
placements in left three hits—
one run and two runs batted in
for the evening.
“Carty would have been hard
put to top that,” Harris said.
“But I sure would like to see
the big man in there.”
Pat Jarvis and Juan Marichal
started and each went six in
ning before being relieved. Frank
Linzy finished for the Giants
and took the loss. Jarvis gave
way to Cecil Upshaw for two
innings and lefty George Stone
franchise.
The paper said the Patriots,
now under new Coach Clive
Rush, the offensive expert who
came to Boston from the world
champion New York ets, face
two problems: conflicting sche
dules with the Boston Red Sox
of the American League at
Fenway Park, which both clubs
call home, and the realignment
of pro football teams in both
leagues scheduled for 1970.
A tentative AFL schedule has
a number of Patriot games
booked for Boston in September
and October, but they cannot
use Fenway Park until late in
the month because of the
extension of the baseball
season.
