Atlanta Braves Looking For Help
To Bolster Faltering Pitching
ATLANTA (UPD— Don't be]
surprised if the Atlanta Braves •
make a trade this weekend in '
a desperate effort to bolster :
their faltering pitching staff. i
There’s no disputing the fact
that the Braves must get some |
pitching help, and soon, if they :
hope to hang on to their lead 1
in the National League's West
ern Division.
The trade deadline is mid
night Sunday and manager Lu- 1
man Harris admitted, after
Thursday night’s 12-6 shellack
ing by the Chicago Cubs, that
the Braves are “looking hard”
lor some help.

The big one is on the left.
Don't rub your eyes.
It's no illusion.
The Volkswagen Squareback on the left actually
has more luggage space than the Caddy on the right.
The back of a Caddy only has 22.2 cubic feet of
loading space.
The back of our Squareback has 24.7.
And if you need even more room thon that, you
can fold down the rear seat.
There's 17.7 more cubic feet.
And when you've finished loading up our back,
you can start loading up our front.
Because where most cars have an engine, we hove
a trunk.
That's 6.5 more cubic feet for us.
But you know what's even nicer about the VW
Squareback sedan?
At optional cost, it's now available with a fully
automatic transmission.
So, not only is it a pleasure to load.
It’s also a pleasure to drive.

“We’re in the market for any
thing we can get,” Harris said.
“A starting pitcher, or a short
fielder—that’s what we needed
out there.”
Harris left injured outfielders
Felipe Alou and Tito Francona
in Atlanta today when the
Braves flew to Pittsburgh for a
weekend series with the Pi
rates. But he hopes to get both
back into the lineup when the
Braves return next week.
Outfielders Best Bait
Outfielders appear to be the
Braves best talking point in the
trade mart. When Alou’s finger
heals, he, Hank Aaron and Rico
Carty will be the regulars and
that will leave Francona, Tom
my Aaron, Mike Lum and Bob
Aspromonte on the bench.
Harris insisted Alou and Car
ty aren’t available and, of
course, the name of Hank
Aaron never even came up.
“I'd rather have Alou with his
broken finger than anyone he
might bring,” said Harris.
But that’s as far down the
line of “untouchables” as he
was willing to go.
With the exception of knuck
lebailer Phil Niekro,- 10-4 with
a 1.75 ERA, and reliefer Cecil
Upshaw, 1-1 with a dozen saves,
the Braves pitchers have been
taking tneir lumps of late.
Losing Gamble
Harris gambled on a couple
of green rookies Thursday night
—and lost.

Braves Trade Hriniak
For Tony Gonzales
ATLANTA (UPD—The Atlan
ta Braves today traded rookie
catcher Walt Hriniak and two
minor league players to San
Diego for veteran outfielder
Tony Gonzales.
A spokesman for the Braves
said Gonzales, who holds a de
fensive record of 205 errorless
games, will report to the club
tonight in Pittsburgh.
The trade surprised many
baseball followers who figured
for trades involving pitchers
after the c’nb dropped five of
six games with the Cubs.
But the Braves front office
said that the team is sorely
missing the services of center
fielder Felipe Alou, who hos
Bob Murphy
Leads Open
HOUSTON (UPD— Bob “Flor
ida Fats” Murphy, with a 4-
under-par 66, leads the field
into the second round of the
U.S. Open golf championship on
a Friday the 13th that will
prove a sad day for most of the
149 players.
Murphy loosened up at
exactly the right time Thurs
day, taking the course after
Texan Miller Barber already
was in the clubhouse with 33-34.
He seemed headed for disaster
right away when his second
shot on the second hole caught
a trap.
“But when I walked up to the
trap I found I had just a
perfect lie,” Murphy said. ‘‘l
hit it right out of there and into
the cup—a 35-foot blast. That
was the shot that made my
whole round right there. Just
when it looked like I would get
a bogey, I got a birdie.”
Murphy had four more
birdies and was tagged with a
single bogey on the rest of his
trip around the tricky Cypress
Creek layout. That gave him a

Namath's Psyche
NEW YORK—(NEA)—The
young lady from Flatwoods,
Ky., wasn’t exactly sur
prised by the sudden defec
tion-temporary or other
wise—of Joe Willie Namath
from professional football.
Bess Ison isn’t even quite
sure what it is that Joe Willie
does. But she is sure about
the personality of the exalted
quarterback of the New York
Jets. And one cannot really j
appreciate the latest brou- ;
haha surrounding Broadway
Joe unless one delves into
Joe’s psyche.
That’s Bess’ bag—analys
ing people.
“He is changeable and ’
very moody,” she says. “No '
one can predict his action*.
He wishes to set himself
apart from the mainstream 1
of ordinary humanity in
order to avoid encroach
ments and attacks on his
ego.
“He must see himself as :
superior to others. He is crit
ical of others in his desire
to increase his own status.
It is difficult to relate to him
since he considers himself
superior to people and infal
lible in opinion and judg
ment. He may even be proud
of his negative qualities.
“By setting himself up as
a paragon, he isolates him
self socially and thus
escapes into an area where
the disapproval or rejection
of his fellows cannot injure
him. His problems began
when he was very young/’
All this lofty jargon about
a young man who wears
white football shoes and
throws a spheroid for a liv
ing stems from a very sim
ple analysis. Bess studied a
specimen of Joe Namath’s
handwriting. She’s a grapho
analyst.
Don't snicker. Read on

ENGEL DIES AT 76
CHATTANOOGA, Te nn.
(UPD—Joe Engel, one of the <
best promoters in baseball and
a former scout with the
Washington Senators and Min
nesota Twins, died Thursday at
the age of 76.
Engel, who also pitched in the
majors with Washington, Cin
cinnati and Cleveland from
1912-1920, was best known for
his schemes to get people into
the ballpark in the minor
leagues and acquired the
nickname in the South as the

about his friends. He has
very feminine traits in
clothes (but aren’t all men’s
clothes feminine now?). He
is very frank and says what
he thinks. He can be very
sarcastic. This is a defense
mechanism—a warnl ng to
keep others at arm’s length
so he can’t be hurt any more.
“Keep in mind he is ruled
by his emotions so he will
be loyal as long as he feels
he should be.”
Now a quick confession.
Bess did NOT know that it
was Joe Namath’s scrawl
which he was deciphering
for subliminal traits. She
didn’t even know that he was
a celebrated football player.
Her analysis was an experi
mental probe at defining the
enigma that is Joe Namath.
Bess has been doing it for
her neighbors in Flatwoods
for years. At least, it’s a
lively grass roots look at the
patron of Bachelors 111, un
prejudiced by prior knowl
edge.
“The most outstanding
negative trait is vanity or
exaggerated se 1 f-esteem,”
she notes. “It stems from
feelings of rejection and in
jured pride and serves as
compensation for the real or
fancied disapproval of his
associates.
“He can be very loyal to
people and organizations.
But he is also suspicious and
cautious of others. He thinks
everyone has a motive in
dealing with him. As a re
sult, he tends to be clannish
but can camouflage it by a
casual interest in many peo
ple.
“His fear of ridicule Is an
effective negative influence
bi his social development. It
is probably that he has re
duced the degree of it since
hi a adolescence, but his
scars are deep. Consequent
ly, his defenses are strong.”
