WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.
(UPI) — The Atlanta Braves
waited until Catfish Hunter left
Tuesday then jumped on his
reliefer for three runs and a 4-1
victory over the New York
yankees.
A bases-loaded double by
Dusty Baker in the eighth
inning broke a 1-1 tie and gave
the Braves their eighth Grape
fruit League victory against 16
losses.
Dave Johnson started the
winning rally with a pinch hit
double off Mike Wallace. Dave
May sacrificed Johnson to third
and Wallace threw 10 straight
balls, walking Darrell Evans
and Mike Lum and getting a 2-0
count on Baker before finding
the strike zone.

Flames 9 Islanders
battle to tie
UNIONDALE, N.Y. (UPI) -
Noel Price, the veteran 39-year
old Atlanta Flames defenseman
put it best, saying, “We had
better beat Toronto Wednesday
or it will be goodbye.”
Price was talking in the wake
of the Flames’ 2-2 tie with the
New York Islanders Tuesday
night—a tie which Flames
Coach Fred Creighton worried
about.
“Only time will tell if this tie
will hurt us,” said the rookie
coach. “We haven’t done well
in Toronto so far.”
After trailing 2-0 on second
period goals by Rey Comeau
and Curt Bennett, the Islanders
fought back and tied Atlanta 2-2
when Eddie Westfall cashed in
a power play at 15:44 of the
final period. Just before West
fall’s tying goal, Billy Harris

Georgia capitalized on seven

Tuesday.
Wilson drove in one run
during the Bulldogs’ fourth
inning with a two-out single up

Fans protest
split decision
By LESLIE NAKASHIMA
TOYAMA, JAPAN (UPI) -
A near riot broke out Monday
night when 6,000 angry specta
tors violently protested a split
15-round decision in favor of
challenger Erbito Salavarria of
the Philippines against World
Boxing Association flyweight
champion Susumu Hanagata of
Japan.
The spectators hurled pro
grams and other objects into
the ring when Referee Herbert
Minn, an American of Korean
ancestry who lives in Honolulu,
announced Salavarria as the
winner.
Both Minn and Filippino
judge Enrique Jimenez of
Manila scored 71-68 for Salavar
ria. Japanese Judge Masao
Kato called it 73-69 for
Hanagata. The UPI had it 73-67
for Hanagata who used his left
hand effectively and was the
aggressor all the way.
The Japan Boxing Commis
sion withheld payment of
services to Minn and Jimenez.
It also sent a telegram to Bill
Brennan, chairman of the WBA
championship committee, pro
testing the decision. It called
the verdict one of the worst
equalizer but referee Art Skov
ruled “no goal—Harris was in
the crease.”
“For once the official was
correct,” said Islander General
Manager Bill Torrey. “The
replay showed Harris with one
foot in the crease.”
100 or more games for Chicago
in each of the last four seasons
and last year hit .259 with 10
homers and 39 RBIs, the
Yankees gave up southpaw
Fred Anyeski, outfielder-first
baseman John Marron, outfield
er Ken Bennett and catcher
Terry Quinn, plus cash.
However, fast on the heels of
the Herrmann acquisition,
came the news that switch
hitting Roy White, last year’s
leftfielder and frequent desig
nated hitter, would be sidelined
for at least a week with a chip
fracture in his left thumb.
White, who had been making
singles by Kevin Moss and
George Drouches, a pair of
walks and Marc Weisenburger’s
sacrifice fly off Bulldogs’
starting and winning pitcher
Tom Ritch.
Georgia tied the game in the
bottom of the third on three
walks and Bruce Farman’s
clutch two-out single to right
center, then broke the game
open with a four-run outburst in
the fourth inning.
Georgia, 6-5-1, opens a two
day home stand against South
eastern Conference rival Flori
da on Friday.
made in Japan and asked for a
rematch within 60 days.
There were no knockdowns
although Hanagata and Sala
varria traded punches viciously
from time to time.
Minn said “I gave the fight to
Salavarria because he landed
the cleaner punches, particular
ly his left hooks to the body.”
Hanagata failed in the first
defense of the title which he
won by a sixth-round knockout
over Chartchai Chionoi of
Thailand last October in
Yokohama.
Salavarria won the WBA
flyweight crown for the first
time. He previously was the
World Boxing Council (WBC)
flyweight champion, but lost his
title to Venezuela’s Betulio
Gonzalez when he was
disqualified for allegedly taking
a stimulant while they were
fighting on November 20,1971 in
Maracadibo.
It was Salavarrio’s 57th win
against five losses and two
draws in 64 fights. For
Hanagata it was his 14th defeat
against 41 wins and eight draws
in 63 bouts. They are both 28
years old.

Oakland, Dodgers
are the favorites
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPI) -
According to the Hollywood
Sports Book, the Oakland A’s
and Los Angeles Dodgers will
meet again this October in the
World Series.
The book has the A’s, three
time world champions, who
routed the Dodgers last year in
five games, as solid 5-2
favorites to win the American
League pennant and Los
Angeles as a 9-5 pick to win the
National League flag.
The book did not list odds on
the respective division races.
Instead it picked the teams as
possible pennant winners.
Still, since the Baltimore
Orioles were listed at 3-1 in the
AL pennant race, obviously
they are the favorites to win
the AL East and face the A’s
for the pennant.
In the NL, the Pittsburgh
Pirates were 3-1 picks in the
pennant race, second behind
the Dodgers, which means they
are the top pick in the East.
The New York Yankees, with
key acquisitions in Jim “Cat
fish” Hunter and Bobby Bonds,
are third in the AL at 7-2 with
Texas at 6-1, Boston 8-1,
a fairly successful transition to
first base this spring, was
injured after diving for a
ground ball Monday during an
exhibition game between the
Yanks and Minnesota. X-rays
revealed a fracture and it was
believed that White would likely
miss the Yankees’ opener
versus Cleveland.
• Basis of the Herrmann deal
was the catcher’s refusal to
sign a contract with the White
Sox after asking for $52,000 and
being offered $48,000. He agreed
to $50,000 with the Yankees
and, ironically, may wind up as
the club’s' opening day first
baseman in the wake of White’s
injury.

The New York Mets optioned
catcher Ron Hodges to Tidewa

Steams, a former No. 1 draft
choice of the Phils, has had a
good-hitting spring for the Mets
as a backup catcher to Jerry

baseman.

Hawks
lose
HOUSTON (UPI) - It was
just another loss to the Atlanta
Hawks, their 50th of the
National Basketball Association
season, but the victory kept the
Houston Rockets in contention
for a playoff berth.
In fact, Houston could have
clinched a berth with Tuesday
night’s 113-104 win over Atlanta
if Philadelphia had beaten New
York. But the Knicks put
Houston’s hopes back 24 hours
and maybe longer.
“Anything can happen,”
Rockets’ coach John Egan said
after the Atlanta win. “We
could still be out of it. I don’t
want to speculate.”
Victories over Cleveland,
New Orleans and Atlanta the
past four days gave the
Rockets a 41-40 record with
only a game with Washington
left. Cleveland must win its
remaining two to oust Houston.
The Knicks must win two of
three to gain the playoff wild
card instead of the Rockets.
“I don’t feel that we have it,”
Rockets’ center Kevin Kunnert
said. “We’ve got to play as
good as we can, and if we lose
to Washington, we lose. Then
we have to sit back and watch
what the other teams do.”
It has been primarily the
play of 7-foot Kunnert, a second
year man, who has sparked the
Rockets to the playoff doorstep,
Atlanta coach Cotton Fitzsim
mons said before the game
Tuesday. He then watched as
Kunnert hit three straight field
goals in the second quarter to
give Houston a lead it never
lost.
Kunnert got 12 of 15 shots for
the night and totaled 26 points.
And it was the lowa graduate
who calmed any Hawks upris
ings late in the game.
Veteran forward Rudy Tom
janovich chipped in a game
high 27 points and Murphy got
24, but Kunnert, who said the
crowd of 8,257 reminded him of
college, made the difference.
Herm Gilliam came off the
Atlanta bench Tuesday to lead
several rallies, but his 24 points
was not enough against the
Rockets, who shot .58 per cent.
