Bunter like
cold wind
By FRED DOWN
UPI Sports Writer
Jim Hunter, the New York
Yankees’ $2.8-million pitcher,
was as sharp as the cold wind in
Baltimore’s Memorial Stadium
Monday night — and so was his
memory.
Hunter fired a three-hitter
and walked only one batter in
giving the Yankees a 3-0 victory
over the Orioles. It was his first
win of the season and an
unusally strong effort for a
pitcher, who has been a slow
starter throughout his career.

shutout since the 1969 season,”
Hunter said after the game. “I
was pushing the ball, but I was
staying on top of it.”
Hunter’s comment sent news
men to the record books to
check up and. sure enough, his
shutout against Kansas City hi
1969 came on April 11, one day
earlier than this one.
Roy White walked and scored
on a double by Lou Piniella in
the first inning and designated
hitter Thurman Munson singled
home two runs in the fifth.
Hunter, who struck out six
batters, yielded singles in the
first, fourth and seventh innings
in achieving the 39th shutout of
his career.
The Texas Rangers defeated
the Oakland A’s, 5-1, in the other
American League game and the
Houston Astros beat the San
Francisco Giants, 5-0, in the
only National League game.
Two games were postponed by
inclement weather — Cleveland
at Boston in the AL and San
Diego at Los Angeles in the NL.
“Catfish was in the groove
tonight and the cold weather
helped him stay stronger
longer,” commented catcher
Rick Dempsey. “He was ahead
of his hitters and he’s not afraid
to come in with it when the
count is 2-and-l or 3-and-l.”
Rangers 5, A’s 1:
Jeff Burroughs hit a threerun
homer in the third inning and
Nelson Briles, acquired from
Kansas City where he had a
composite 11-13 record during
the last two seasons, pitched a
four-hitter in his first start for
he Rangers. Mike Hargrove
ioubled with one out and moved
o third on Toby Harrah’s single
before Burroughs unloaded on
an 0-2 pitch by Paul Mitchell for
his homer. Mitchell, acquired in
the recent big deal with the
Orioles, was tagged for six hits
and four runs in three innings.
Astros 5, Giants 0:
J. R. Richard, Larry Hardy
and Ken Forsch combined in a
nine-hitter and the Astros
scored their first win of the
season after three straight
losses to the world champion
Cincinnati Reds. Enos Cabell
drove in two runs with singles
and Larry Milljoume scored
three runs for the Astros, who
were helped by four San
Francisco errors. Ed Halicki,
who pitched the NL’s only no
hitter in 1975, was the loser.

Hidden factor big business
NEW YORK (UPI) — When the Montreal Expos came
to town last week, Richie Bennett called the security force
at LaGuardia Airport “to let them know I’m coming.”
“They know me by now,” said Bennett, one of the
“hidden factors” in the multibillion dollar business of
baseball who, for 22 years, has handled the luggage and
equipment of every major league baseball team coming in
and leaving New York City.
If the stalled negotiations between the Players Associa
tion and club owners this spring had resulted in a season
cancellation, “I would have been wiped out,” Bennett
said.
Until a couple of years ago, Bennett’s Frank Caria
Express Co. truck would meet chartered team planes in a
special unloading area of the airport. But since the Arab
oil embargo of October 1973 drove fuel prices up fourfold,
“more teams are flying commercial.”
This has caused Bennett a few problems. “Their
baggage gets mixed up with that of the other passengers
sometimes,” Bennett said. “Usually, though, the teams
all have uniform bags, which are easy to spot. The team
equipment is no problem. You can pick that out easily.”
LaGuardia Airport, where most of the teams land, is
“right in the backyard” of Shea Stadium, where the New
York teams played the past two years. Bennett’s routine
will change this year because the Yankees return home to
the refurbished Yankee Stadium.
After meeting a team at the airport, Bennett takes the
players’ luggage to the hotel. “That’s the most important
immediate thing,” Bennett said. “They’re not going to
play right away.”
Then he drives back out to the stadium, where he
deposits the equipment with the team equipment
managers. “It’s not so bad. It’s right on the way home,”
Georgia
wins one
ATHENS, Ga. (UPI) - The
University of Georgia Monday
defeated Piedmont College 30-6,
getting 17 base hits and allowing
the opposition only seven.
Hie Bulldogs got off to a good
start, exploding for seven runs
in the first inning.
Starting pitcher Mike Keep
ers allowed the Demorest, Ga.,
school seven hits in getting his
first win of the season against
two losses.
Piedmont starter Larry Turn
er took the loss, his second
against one win.
Leftfielder Bubba Kizer had
three hits, three runs and two
runs batted in for the Bulldogs.
First baseman Bubba Wilson
had a double and triple and
three RBIs. Stu Rapella drove
home four runs with two hits.
Clemson
beats Tech
ATLANTA (UPI) — Clemson
defeated Georgia Tech 12-10
Monday, scoring two runs in the
bottom of the 11th inning in a
game which was tied three
times.
Mark McDaniel led off the
11th with single off Tech pitcher
Ronnie Pierce. Gregg Belk
reached second base safely
when Tech first baseman Bert
Kaiser fumbled as Belk was
after trying to sacrifice to
second.
Steve Nilsson singled McDan
iel home and then David
Caldwell singled home Belk.
Doubled
Garner in the third inning of the Rangers’ 5-1 win over
Oakland. (UPI)
said Bennett who lives on Long Island.
The outgoing trip is in reverse order, with Bennett
picking up the luggage, then waiting at the stadium until
the game is over to take the equipment to the airport,
perhaps at midnight.
What happens when one team is leaving and the other is
coming in at the same time? “I hire help,” said Bennett.
There have been days when he’s had to handle four teams
at once. And he manages.
“That’s our business,” said Mrs. Bennett. “We have to
stay one jump ahead.” She should know because she’s
been around this business longer than her husband, whom
she calls “Richard.”
That’s because Bennett inherited his business from
Jean Caria Bennett’s father, Frank Caria. Frank Caria
inherited the business from his father, Eugene, around
1900. “We’ve got pictures of my grandfather with a horse
and buggy,” said Mrs. Bennett.

State board
upholds firing
ATLANTA (UPI) — The state
Board of Education has refused
to reinstate a former Chamblee
High football coach who was
fired last fall for telling his
eighth-grade team to “kill” the
opposition in a scouting report
he distributed.
Doug Echols, 27, was fired
Nov. 24 by the DeKalb County
school board after he gave his
team a scouting report of the
Lakeside Vikings which con
tained one allegedly obscene
word.
Echols said of the Lakeside
team in the report, “all of the
coaches hate them and their
coaches and if you’re going to
beat them Saturday, you’ll have
to hate them also. So much that
when we mean kill, we mean to
death.”
Echols, who has taught
science in DeKalb schools for
three years, claimed that other
coaches used similar language
verbally and even in writing.
But school system attorney
Gary Sams, who prosecuted the
case, said “we’re trying to
build good character in our
schools, and we expect our

Echols, who claimed a 34-6
coaching record in B-team
wrestling and eighth-grade foot
ball at Chamblee, says he will
appeal the state board ruling to
the regular courts.
