Braves
Lee Lacy has proved his worth as a utility player as the
Los Angeles Dodgers made it three in a row over the
Atlanta Braves.
The Dodgers downed the Braves 5-2 in National League
action at Los Angeles last night with Lacy driving in two
runs and engineering another pair.
After the game, Lacy said, “I knew I’d get an
opportunity to play.”
Doug Rau posted the win, the first of his career in his
first complete game for Los Angeles. It was the first loss
of the season for the Braves’ Carl Morton who gave up 10
hits in five and one-third innings.
Vols
Spring football practice ends at the University of
Tennessee in Knoxville Saturday with the annual Orange
and White Game.
Head Coach Bill Battie says the 1975 Vols list 19
sophomores on the squad.
Battle has tapped Pat Ryan to quarterback the White
Team. Gary Roach will call signals for the Orange.
Burke
Sam Burke who has been executive secretary of the
Georgia High School Association for almost 30 years, says
he will retire next year.
Burke confirmed yesterday he had submitted his
resignation after running the athletic affairs of the state’s
some 400 high schools since 1946.
Burke says he will be 72 Nov. 5, and as he put it, “It’s
time to quit.” He said he has no idea who his successor
will be.
Burke gained national recognition through his work in
prep athletics, being elected twice as president of the
National High School Federation. He has been chairman
of that body’s rules committee for 29 years and a member
of the executive committee from 1944 through 1973.

TALLADEGA, Ala. (UPI) -
NASCAR Grand National stock
car drivers today begin qualify
ing runs for the May 4, $176,410
Winston 500.
Buddy Baker runs had the
top speed at the 2.26-mile
Talladega oval in practice runs
Wednesday, driving his 1975
Ford 187.423 miles an hour.
David Pearson, who won the
pole position last year with a
speed of 186.086 miles an hour,
was clocked unofficially
Wednesday at 183.648 miles an
hour.
“I’m just looking at the races
as they come. And you say to
yourself, I’ve won before and I
can do it again,” said Pearson,
who is seeking his fourth
straight Winston 500 win.
A.J. Foyt, a three-time
winner of the Indianapolis 500,
withdrew from the Winston 500
because of his daughter’s
recent severe asthma attack in
Houston., a track spokesman
said. He said Gordon Johncock.
winner of the 1973 Indianapolis
500, will drive Foyt’s Chevrolet.
The first 20 starting positions
for the 50-car starting field will
be determined in time trials
today, with the remainder to be
determined in qualifying runs
Friday and Saturday.
The Winston 500 is preceded
by the $25,000 ARCA 200 stock
car race Saturday.
Joe Namath is free agent
NEW YORK (UPI) — Over
20 National Football League
players offically become free
agents today after playing out
the option year on their
contracts and at least one
substantial offer is already in
the mail.
Joe Namath, the New York
Jets’ quarterback, heads the
list of NFL players free to
make their own deals now that
they are without contract
restrictions. Another veteran
star quarterback, Sonny Jur
gensen of the Washington
Redskins, also played out his
option but Wednesday decided
to retire after 18 seasons.
World Football League Presi
dent Chris Hemmeter an
nounced Wednesday that he has
a certified $500,000 check in the

in Derby
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (UPI) -
Fourteen horses are considered
definite starters in the $125,000-
added, Kentucky
Derby, with three more unde
cided as yet.
Blue Grass Stakes winner
Master Derby and the Darby
Dan Farm’s entry of Prince
Thou Art and Sylvan Place are
expected to receive strong
support.
Os the three uncertain star
ters, John W. Mecom, owner of
Rushing Man, seems the most
likely to decide to fork out the
$4,000 entry fee required by
9:30 Thursday morning. And,
for every horse to start
Saturday, there is an additional
fee of $3,500.
If there is a field of 15, it will
require the use of the auxiliary
starting gate, with each trainer
dreading the thought of his 3-
year-old colt forced to come out
of a separate gate.
The crowd for Saturday is not
expected to approach last
year’s record of more than
160,000, because of doubled
ticket prices for the infield and
a natural letdown after the
100th Derby celebration of 1974.
Most of the competing train
ers call Foolish Pleasure the
horse to beat, but no one stands
in awe of last year’s 2-year-old
champion.
“I’d have to put Master
Derby on top,” said Johnny
Campo, the trainer of Elmen
dorf’s Media. Master Derby
should definitely earn the
favorite’s role should the track
come up muddy Derby day,
having won the Blue Grass in a
quagmire.
Promised City’s trainer Larry
Spraker said, “It’s a bad field
of horses. I think it’s a well
matched group. But I can’t see
anything outstanding except
Foolish Pleasure.”
With a strong last quarter
Prince Thou Art’s trademark,
trainer Lou Rondinello likes his
colt’s chances.

payment on a proposed $4
million deal which will bring
him to the WFL’s Chicago Fire.
Hemmeter said the official $4
million offer would be in
Namath’s hands today with a
bonus check attached by the
end of the week.
“All he has to do is cash that
check and it’s a deal,”
Hemmeter said. “It will be
very difficult for (Namath
attorney Jimmy) Walsh to
construe that as a weak offer,
backed by a check for half a

to retire
THOMASTON, Ga. (UPI) -
Sam Burke, who has been
executive secretary of the
Georgia High School Associa

retire next year to “just loaf

Burke confirmed Wednesday
he had submitted his resigna

high schools since 1946.
“I’ll be 72 years old
November 5, and it’s time to
quit,” he said. “I have no idea
who my successor will be.”
Burke gained national recog

athletics, being elected twice as
by Donny Pitts of the West

Springs. The South Cobb Bass
masters of Douglasville took top
club honors for the third
straight year with a six man
total of 158 pounds 9 ounces.
The 31 club six man teams
had a fantastic catch of 1,774
bass weighing 2,804 pounds. The
proudest moment of the entire
event was when the tournament
committee announced that 78
percent of the bass were
