Braves
win,
5-2
ATLANTA (UPI) - In Del
Rio, Tex., young men grow up
dreaming of playing baseball in
the major leagues. Larvell
“Sugar Bear” Blanks, a native
son of that border town, has his
chance and he’s making the
most of it.
Blanks had three previous
cracks at the big leagues but
couldn’t stick. This time he got
a lucky break when Craig
Robinson —Atlanta’s regular
shortstop last year —came
down with a virus just before
the first game. Blanks went
into the opening day lineup and
he has held the position ever
since.
Wednesday night Blanks had
three hits and drove in two
runs as the Braves whipped
Houston, 5-2.
“I’m from a small Texas
town and I dreamed of playing
big league baseball,” the soft
spoken infielder said after the
game. “I had a good minor
league career. I played myself
out of options and here I am.
“It was a surprise to me to
start the first game. But I’ve
gotten the opportunity and I’m
doing the best I can to take
advantage of it.”
Blanks’ three hits lifted his
batting average to .222. But.
manager Clyde King said the
compact little infielder has
been hitting the ball well in
almost every game.
“I played Bear at all the
positions in the infield all
spring,” King said. “When this
opportunity came up I decided
to open with him.”

Musch
leads
golfers
HOUSTON (UPI) - New
Mexico State golfer Cricket
Musch strolled off the 18th
green with a 4-under-par 68 and
a bad case of tonsilitis to open
the All-America Intercollegiate
Invitational Golf Tournament.
Musch, whose 68 led the field
Wednesday, said his illness
hasn’t affected him completely
and plans to finish the tourney.
“I should go right to bed,”
Musch said.
“I don’t know why I played
well here today,” he said. “I
never played good golf here
before. The first time I was
here two years ago, I couldn’t
break an egg.”
