Pierce said this morning.
“Mistakes hurt us,” he added.
It was one of those games that
nearly every ball Griffin hit was
right at a Forest Park player.
“Their pitcher struck out only
three or four. We got wood on
the ball but wound up with only
three hits. Keith Ebetino, Daryl
Jones and Rusty Stonica had
those,” Coach Pierce said.
Ted Manolis went the
distance for Griffin.
The second game was right
opposite from the first.
Griffin played good defense
and hit real good.
In addition, Marty Vamadoe
pitched a fine game. He had
accellent control and allowed
only three hits.
Griffin jumped on Forest
Park for two runs in the first
inning. Stonica and Ebetino had
the big hits in the inning.
Griffin hitters were Kenneth
Short with two, Stonica with two
and Ebetino, Jones, Keith
Phillips, Glynn Gossett and
Chuck Dunn with one.
The Forest Park games were
non-region.
Griffin’s record is now 3-1.

Braves call
another game
ATLANTA (UPI)-Unless the
major league baseball players’
strike ends today, the Atlanta
Braves will close out their first
home stand of the season with
out having played a game.
Games between the Braves
and the Houston Astros sched
uled for Thursday night and to
night already have been post
poned. A scheduled doublehead
er Sunday also will be called
off unless a settlement is
reached.
The Braves are scheduled
Monday to begin a week - long
road trip taking them to Los
Angeles and San Diego. They
are due to return home April
17.
Tickets for postponed games
can be exchanged for tickets to
other games, Braves officials
said.
Guerin’s Hawks Friday night to
take a 3-2 lead in the best-of
seven series that now returns
to Atlanta for a sixth game on
Sunday.
But before it was over the
Hawks, trailing by as many as
17 points in the first quarter,
gave Boston a good scare.
There was no other action in
the NBA Friday. Los Angeles
and Milwaukee already have
clinched their quarter-final
series in the Western Confer
ence. Baltimore and New York,
tied 2-2 in the other Eastern
series, resume play Sunday on
the Bullets’ home court.
“They’re Heinsohn
said of the Hawks. “They
haven’t given up yet. They kept
coming back tonight. They cut
it down to two points a couple
of times.”
“Our club is a different team
than it was during the season,”
Guerin said. “This playoff, one
way or another, should help
mature this club. We’ve got a
lot of young players who are
doing the job for us.”
The Celtics started off like
lightning Friday night, bottling
up Atlanta guard Pete Mara
vich and holding the Hawks to
a pair of field goals and four
free throws in the first six
minutes while building a 25-8
lead.
But Atlanta kept chipping
away at the margin and finally
narrowed the gap to two points,
66-64, on Maravich’s layup with
8:35 left in the third quarter.
But Steve Kuberski got
Boston rolling again with a six
foot jumper and John Havlicek
followed with a three-point play
for a 71-64 Celtics lead. Atlanta
never again closed within three
points and Boston broke it open
with a 9-1 string at the start of
the fourth period that put the
Celtics in front 98-86 with nine
minutes left.
Havlicek led the Boston
scoring with 27 points while Jo
Jo White added 26. The Celtics
held Maravich and Lou Hudson
to 21 points each. Walt Bellamy
also threw in 21 for the Hawks.

Harney challenges
Jack Nicklaus
By JOHN G. GRIFFIN
UPI Sports Editor
AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPI)-The
ill wind that blew Jack
Nicklaus no good—in fact, blew
his most important shot into
the water—sent the 36th
Masters golf championship into
its third round today as a mad
scramble instead of a familiar
Nicklaus runaway.
To be sure, Nicklaus was out
in front, right where everybody
expected him to be, with a 36-
hole score of 5-under-par 139
after a one-under-par 71 Friday.
But instead of leading by a
fat five strokes or so, he was
ahead of surprising Paul
Harney by only one stroke and
such challengers as young Bert
Yancey, hot Jim Jamieson, and
defending champion Charles
Coody all were within range.
It’s a lot too close for comfort.
Actually, Nicklaus remains
Today was costly
to baseball
By FRED McMANE
UPI Sports Writer
NEW YORK (UPI) -This is
the day both sides in the major
league baseball strike begin to
lose heavily.
Today was supposed to be the
start of the NBC-TV “Game of
the Week” series, but the strike
has forced cancellation of the
scheduled game—Boston at
Detroit—and both the Players’
Association and the owners
stand to lose $200,000 because of
it
There were 36 games sche
duled to be shown on the “Game
of the Week” this season, and
the total package is worth s7l
million to major league
baseball. Part of that money
goes to the players’ pension
fund, but NBC-TV does not pay
off if a game is not played
because of the strike.
“We will deduct l-36th from
the amount of our contract,
which amounts to $200,000, for
each game not played because
of the strike,” says Carl
Lindemann, sports director of
NBC-TV.
There was almost a break
through in the strike Friday
when the Players’ Association
agreed to have its members
start the season immediately
while negotiations continued
provided that after a threeweek
period, if no settlement had
the solid favorite to win the
Masters for the fourth time,
which would tie Arnold Pal
mer’s record, and would start
Jack on the road to a possible
professional “grand slam” of
the Masters, the U.S. and
British Opens, and the PGA
title.
Harney, who bogeyed the 18th
hole when he knocked his
second shot into the crowd,
played what he called “the best
round I’ve ever played here.” It
included an eagle on the 13th,
three birdies, and two bogeys.
Yancey, from Haverford, Pa.,
is a chap who has set his heart
on winning the Masters some
day and somehow plays better
here than he does in other big
tournaments. His 69 matched
Harney for the best score of the
second round, a figure also
posted by Robert de Vicenzo of
Argentina who was back in a
been reached, the issues be
submitted to binding arbitra
tion.
The owners were quite willing
to continue their talks with the
players while the season was
going on, but they nixed the
whole idea when the subject of
binding arbitration was intro
duced as part of the deal by
Marvin Miller, executive direc
tor of the Players’ Association.
“Mr. Miller continues in his
adamant stand that the differ
ence between us is only a
matter of degree,” said John
Gaherin, chief negotiator for
the owners, “and that we should
get an ‘umpire’ to split the
matter of disagreement
between us. If this were the case
we could do that ourselves and
we would need no help. Instead,
we insist this is a matter of
principle.
“Mr. Miller continues to
sidestep the real issue between
us—which is whether the
players are reasonably entitled
to a 17 per cent increase in
pension benefits, or for that
matter, any increase at all.”
The owners’ refusal to agree
to binding arbitration has
prompted the Players’ Associa
tion to file an unfair labor
charge against baseball with
the National Labor Relations
Board. The charge will be filed
formally next week.
tie at 144.
Tied with Coody at 143, one
under par, was Bobby Nichols
of Akron, Ohio, and in the 144
jam with de Vicenzo was Steve
Melnyk, Lanny Wadkins, Jerry
Heard—and Slamming Sammy
Snead.
Palmer was in a three-way
tie at 145.
The field was cut to the low
47 for the last two rounds and
the cutoff was 151, highest on
the pro tour this year.
U.S. and British Open cham
pion Lee Trevino, appearing
here for the first time in three
years, just squeaked in at that
figure, but among those ousted
were Julius Boros, Don Janua

round, Hale Irwin, whose 71
