Jones doubles

in winning run
Daryl Jones doubled in a run
in the bottom of the seventh
inning here yesterday to break
a 4-4 tie and give the Griffin
Bears a 5-4 region victory over
R. E. Lee.
Griffin’s victory coupled with
Jonesboro’s win over Newnan
gives the Bears possession of
first place in the sub-region.
Jones was Griffin’s starting
pitcher. However, he was not the
pitcher of record.
Jones had a 4-1 lead going into
the sixth inning.
A walk and an error gave Lee
two base runners in the top of
the inning and then a three-run
homer by Ricky Bell tied the
score.
Jones finished the inning.

At Monsanto Open
Don’t overlook
big George Archer
PENSACOLA, Fla. (UPI)-
Although he’s the tallest man
on the pro golf tour, a lot of
people have a tendency to
overlook George Archer. That’s
a mistake.
The 6-foot-6 Californian
doesn’t have the reputation of a
Jack Nicklaus or a Lee
Trevino. But if he should win
the Monsanto Open which
started today, he’ll have won
more than three quarters of a
million dollars in eight years.
Nicklaus, who won his fourth
Masters four days ago, is
skipping the Monsanto and the
absence of big Jack, Gary
Player and Billy Casper enhan

ing Nicklaus as a three
tournament winner so far this
year.
Also missing from the Mon
santo roster is defending
champion Gene Littler who is
back home in California re
covering from an operation-and
the always popular Arnold
Palmer.
The big gallery favorite here
in Wednesday’s pro am was
U.S. Open and British Open
champion Lee Trevino who said
he did not skip Monsanto,
“because I feel we owe it to the
people who put on these
tournaments to appear.”

who pitched a no-hitter last
Saturday against Norcross.
Peurifoy struck out two of
three batters in the seventh.
After two out in the seventh,
Rusty Stonica singled.
Keith Phillips reached on an
error. Jones, who moved to
right field after leaving the
mound, doubled home Stonica
with the winning run.
Peurifoy was Griffin’s win
ning pitcher.
Mark Baggett, who relieved
Raymond Phagan in the second
was charged with Lee’s loss.
Griffin scored five runs on
seven hits and made one error.
Lee scored four runs on six
hits and made several errors.
Griffin’s big inning was the
42, Wilbert Mathews a 43 and
Clint Smith a 45.
Three of Lee’s golfers fired

Monsanto Open has 10 of this
year’s top 13 money winners

newcomer who made a strong
run at Nicklaus in the Masters
last week.
Trevino, hoping to get his
game “untracked” after going
12 strokes over par last week,
Slot a 68 in a Tuesday pro-am
and a 70 in a Wednesday pro

“I’m playing pretty good
from tee to green, but I seem
to have lost confidence in my
putter," Trevino said as he
headed for the practice green
after Wednesday’s round.
The Monsanto, formerly
known as the Pensacola Open,
is being played over the
relatively flat, 6,679-yard Pen

adjacent to Pensacola Bay.
The Monsanto Open offers the
