Braves
WEST PALM BEACH—Hie Atlanta Braves “B” team
was a winner in exhibition baseball at West Palm Beach
yesterday. Collecting singles were Leo Foster, Bob Beall
and Rod Gilbreath, the Braves bested the Los Angeles
Dodgers 5-to-4. Joe Simpson of Los Angles and Biff
Pocoroba of Atlanta hit home runs in the game.
Meantime, in Fort Lauderdale, infielder Dave Johnson
says the Atlanta Braves have given him permission to -
seek his own trade. Johnson made the comment yesterday
at Fort Lauderdale after spending a good part of the day
on the telephone talking with American League club
officials. Johnson—apparently unhappy with his playing
assignment has asked Braves vice president Eddie
Robinson to trade him.
Georgia Q
ATHENS—South Carolina pitcher Earl Bass is a
winner. But he owes centerfielder Steve Cook much of the
credit. Bass pitched his Gamecocks to a 2-to-l college
baseball win over Georgia at Athens yesterday. But he
was leading 2-to-nothing in the bottom of the ninth. Then
Georgia came through with two straight hits. Georgia
centerfielder Larry Littleton uncorked a long fly ball to
center. But Cook caught it, ending the Bulldog threat.

CARROLLTON—The West Georgia Braves handed
Georgia Tech a baseball loss yesterday at Carrollton. The
final score was 3-to-2 in favor of the Carrollton school. Ray
Davis was the winning pitcher, allowing Tech six hits. Rod

Besides his double, Mitch
Hammond and Daniels had two

each.
Baxter pitched a fine game.
He gave up seven hits,
struckout five and didn’t issue
any walks.
Griffin scored two runs on
eight hits. Perry had one run on
five hits.
Rankin
PHOENIX, Ariz. (UPI) -
Putting was the key but in
different fashion for Joanne
Career and Judy Rankin in
Friday’s second round of the
$70,000 LPGA Karsten-Ping
Open.
As Mrs. Carner, the first
round leader by three strokes,
was having trouble with at
least four short putts, Mrs.
Rankin was playing a consist
ent round and was more at
ease on the greens.
Mrs. Carner carded an even
par 72 to give her a two-round
total of 139 and a slim one
stroke lead over Mrs. Rankin
entering today’s final round,
where SIO,OOO awaited the
winner.

ATLANTA (UPI) - Rookie
Eric Vail scored the first two
goals and Tom Lysiak fired in
the winner Friday night to give
the Atlanta Flames a 3-2
victory over the Buffalo Sabres
in a National Hockey League
game.
The victory pulled the
Flames to within three points of
the New York Islanders in their
battle for the third and final
playoff spot in Division I. The

Do golfers need
athletic ability?
By MIKE WALDNER
Copley News Service
Just how much athletic
ability does it take to play
golf?
There are those critics who
insist golf is a mere game, not
a sport. They contend athletic
ability is not a prerequisite of
participation.
After all, success in golf is
not exactly as much a test of
your courage as trying to
hang in against a hard-break
ing Don Sutton curveball ...
or knowing the angry 275-
pound fellow across the line
of scrimmage wants to use
your head for a bongo drum
... or trying to drive the mid
dle of the lane with a 7-foot-l
rejecter waiting to swat your
shot away.
Success in golf depends on
how you hit a little white ball
just sitting there quietly wait
ing for .you to swing your
club.
All the golfer does, it is
said, is wiggle a bit, swing the
club and let a couple of New
ton’s laws take care of things.
Bob Unger, among others,
refuses to buy this line of
thinking.
Os course, Unger is a bit
prejudiced. He’s a second
year member of the Profes
sional Golfers’ Association.
Like a great number of the
PGA members, his calling
card has more than one line
— born in Milwaukee, a Ca
noga Park resident who
graduated from Cal State
Northridge, he plays out of
Tucson National but is spon
sored by Lincoln Pierce of In
dianapolis.
Herein we have a little sto
ry. Pierce, who is retired
from the plumbing business,
holds the world record for
sponsoring young golfers on
the tour. He backs six — Jim
Ferrio, Dick Ryan, Ross
Randall, Joe Porter, Wally
Armstrong, plus Unger. Now
that does qualify him as a su
per fan. His nearest competi
tor sponsors three.
“We’re all like sons to
Line,” said Unger.
Last year, Bob earned
$15,633 on the tour.
“I just about broke even,”
he said with a not-too-veiled
reference to the expenses of
pursuing his profession.
He picked up a little cash in
the Glen Campbell-Los Ange
les Open at Riviera. After
opening the week with the
leaders by shooting a 67, he
each team has five games left
in the season.
Rookie Dan Gare scored
Buffalo’s first goal and assisted
on Jerry Korab’s slapshot from
the blue line that gave the
Sabres a 2-0 lead in the first
period.
Vail hit a slapshot from 30
feet to cut the margin to 2-1.
There was no scoring in the
second period, but in the third
Vail took a pass from Gerry
came back with 77-73-76 for a
293, which was worth $615.
Jade Nicklaus, once upon a
time a high school catcher of
all-star quality and now a
golfer of highest reputation,
offered a defense for his col
leagues.
“A big reason there are
more good golfers than ever
before is because more good
athletes go out for golf to
day,” he said. “When I was a
kid, golf was pretty much for
guys who could not make it in
other sports. This is not true
any more. There are a lot of
guys on the tour who played
other sports.”
Another factor is that more
and more golfers are prepar
ing for tournaments like true
athletes.
But on with the topic of the
day — the athletic ability of
the golfer.
“I run to keep in condi
tion,” said Unger.
While he obviously consid
ers his job a sport, do not get
the idea he is ready to chal
lenge Filbert Bayi.
“I’m not a trackman,” he

Meehan and crossed from the
left side in front of the Buffalo
goal and backhanded in his 36th
goal of the season to tie the
game.
At 13:38 Lysiak took a pass in
front of the Buffalo net from
Meehan and whipped a back
hand shot into the goal from 15
feet.
It was only the second time
this season the Sabres have lost
after scoring the first goal.
They had won 38 and tied eight
insisted. “What I do is go out
at 7:30 or 8 before breakfast
and jog for five to 10 minutes.
The idea is to build up my
heart and legs.”
The inference is that it
takes more than grooving
your swing to be a success on
the tour.
“Quite a few of the guys on
the tour work at keeping in
condition,” he said. “It’s be
cause the tour is so strenuous,
both mentally and physically.
You need conditioning more
than ever before.
“Just take a look at the
number of guys in any tour
nament who have earned
SIOO,OOO in a year. I think the
number now is 22. Ten years
ago there were only four or
five. When you get right down
to it, there are 50 guys who
might win any tournament.”
