Braves win first 5-1
Rookie blanks Braves
in 2nd game of twin bill
SAN DIEGO (UPI) - When
San Diego traded away pitcher
Dave Roberts to Houston for a
pair of rookies, there was criti
cism of the deal but the critics
were quieted today.
Rookie pitcher Bill Greif, ob
tained in the Roberts trade,
hurled a six-hit complete game
Cutout for the Padres Sunday
for a 3-0 victory after the At
lanta Braves took the opener of
the doubleheader 5-1.
Derrel Thomas, who came to
the Padres in the same trade,
was instrumental in San Diego’s
6-5 victory Saturday night with
three hits, driving in a run and
scoring a run.
The 22-year-old Geif was de
lighted with his first complete
game and shutout win.
“The turning point for me
came in the third inning when
I loaded the bases with nobody
out,” Greif said. “I looked over
to our bullpen. They were all
sitting down. That gave me con
fidence and we turned it
around.”
Catcher Bob Barton called
Grief’s performance
“amazing.”
“He was always on the
plate,” said Barton. “He didn’t
get tired at all. I think he was
stronger at the finish than at
the start.”
Geif’s performance got the
Padres off to a winning series
for the season. But part of the

$3,000 raised
at Haygood benefit
A little over $3,000 was raised
Saturday night at the Ricky
Haygood Benefit dinner and
more contributions were
coming in today.
A spokesman said this morn
ing that it may be tomorrow
before a complete tabulation is
made.
"Although only 350 people
attended the dinner, we con
sider it a success because of
ticket sales and contributions,”
a spokesman said.
The benefit was staged by
Radio Station WHIE in coopera
tion with the Pike County
Touchdown Club with
assistance from the Griffin TD
Club.
Sports celebrities, who at
tended the affair, included:
Coach Norm Van Brocklin of
the Atlanta Falcons; Falcon
linebacker Don Hansen; Falcon
President Frank Wall; Morris
Stroud of the Kansas City
Chiefs; Bill Fulcher, head
coach at Georgia Tech; Giles
Smith, an assistant coach at
Tech; Lee Daniels, an assistant
coach at Georgia and several
area high school coaches and
players.
Mr. Wall presented a S3OO
check from the Falcon Founda
tion to the Ricky Haygood Fund.
"I felt a little stiff but not in
my arm,” said Jeter. “That
feels great. I sat out the strike
in Pittsburgh and my legs are
not in shape yet.”
Ralph Garr, who had six hits
in the two games, collected four
singles in the first game and
scored twice in leading the
Braves to their victory.
Ron Reed was the winning
Coach Van Brocklin noted
that Pike County started foot
ball only recently. He urged the
Pike fans not to let the injury to
Haygood turn them against the
game. “This was a one-in-a
million accident,” he said.
Coach Fulcher issued Ricky a
standing invitation to attend
any game at Georgia Tech.
Coach Smith presented Ricky
an autographed football from
Tech players.
(Ricky was presented an
autographed football earlier by
the University of Georgia.)
Several high school coaches
and players, who were unable to
attend the benefit, sent dona
tions.
WHIE will conduct a 45-
minute radio telethon this after
noon beginning at 6:15 to raise
additional money for the fund.
The station will accept dona
tions and pledges during the
Siow that will feature taped
talks by Coach Van Brocklin,
Coach Fulcher and Coach
Daniels that were made Satur
day night at the benefit.
Ricky Haygood, a 17-year-old
Pike County football player,
was seriously injured recently
in a spring football game.
He remains paralyzed from
the head down at Emory Hospi-
pitcher, holding San Diego to
four hits in seven innings. Pat
Jarvis took the loss in the sec
ond game, giving up all the
San Deigo runs.
Felix Millan doubled in Marty
Perez and Reed in the second
inning of the opener Sunday for
all the runs the Braves needed.
Steve Arlin was the loser al
though he allowed only five hits
and but the first two runs.

Hooten first NL rookie
in 60 years to pitch no-hitter
By FRED McMANE
UPI Sports Writer
Maybe baseball doesn’t need
Vida Blue after all. The game
may have found a replacement
in 22-year-old Burt Hooton of
the Chicago Cubs.
Hooton went out Sunday and
pitched the first no-hitter by a
National League rookie in 60
years by blanking the Philadel
phia Phillies, 4-0.
Hooton, the Cubs’ No. 1
choice in the secondary phase
of the 1971 draft, developed a
pitch he calls a “knuckle
curveball,” as a youngster in
the Pony League in Corpus
Christi and it acts much the
same way a Sandy Koufax
curve used to behave.

two fingers and let it slide off

Dave Hill almost
blows 5 stroke lead
By DAVID MOFFIT
UPI Sports Writer
PENSACOLA, Fla. (UPI)-
Dave Hill has no more
confidence in his golf game now
than he did before he won the
Monsanto Open.
“Sure, it’s always nice to
win,” the outspoken Hill said
after beating charging young
Jerry Heard by a single stroke
in the Monsanto.
In addition to the $30,000
prize for his first victory in two
years, Hill, 34, of Jackson,
Mich., also won a last-minute
berth in this week’s Tour
nament of Champions at La
Costa, Calif.
“I don’t feel that the erratic
way I played here helped me at
all to get ready for the
Tournament of Champions,”
Hillsaid. “None whatsoever.”
Despite complaining all week
that he was playing terrible,
Hill shot 64-68-68 in the first
three rounds to post the lowest
54-hole total (200) so far this
year on the pro golf tour and
although he almost let a five
stroke lead get away Sunday,
his even par 71 and 13-under
par 271 were nothing to be
ashamed of.
Heard, who started the final
round seven strokes back but
shot a 6-under-par 65, not only
caught Hill but was actually
two strokes ahead with three
holes to play. But Hill, who had

Stargell drove in two runs with
a pair of singles as the Pirates
downed the Mets. Blass retired
14 straight batters from the
second through the sixth but
needed relief help from Bob
Miller to nail down the victory.
Second Straight Win
The Expos pushed across two
runs on only one hit in the ninth
inning to score their second
straight victory over the
Cardinals. A walk, a double by
Clyde Mashore, an infield out
and an error by relief pitcher
Moe Drabowsky enabled the
Expos to score twice in the
ninth.
Joe Morgan’s bases-loaded
triple keyed a six-run eighth
inning as the Reds buried the
Dodgers. Gary Nolan allowed
only two hits in seven innings
two double bogeys and two
bogeys in a scrambling round,
made two of his six birdies on
those last three holes and
Heard closed with a bogey.
When the final round began,
Hill was five strokes ahead of
Chris Blocker, six ahead of Bob
E. Smith and seven ahead of
Heard and Ray Floyd. Blocker
wound up in third place with a
69-274 but Bob Goalby came
from far back with a 65 of his
own to grab fourth place at 275
while Floyd wound up at 69-276.
