Leadership is an ingredient
that the Braves infield may
have been missing since Eddie
Mathews left the team as a
player before the 1967 season.
Now the Braves have new
leadership in the infield in the
form of second baseman
Davey Johnson.
Johnson, a native of
Orlando, Fla., was obtained in
an off-season trade that sent
Earl Williams to Baltimore.
Johnson was only one of four
vital additions that the Braves
obtained from the Orioles; the
others were Pat Dobson, Roric
Harrison and Johnny Oates.
But the addition of Johnson
was key to building the solid
infield that manager Eddie
Mathews needed to build a
future pennant contender.
And the Braves are on the
road to becoming a contender,
according to Johnson.
“I think that when you
bring a lot of different players
together, it takes a period of
adjustment,” Johnson said.
“We are in the best division in
the major leagues, and no
team in the division is really
any better than us. It just
takes time to get certain
intangible things corrected,
and the only way you can
correct them is by playing
together.
“We have a lot of young
ball players with ability as well
as many proven performers.
We’ve gone through some
slumps, but it’s important now
for every player to play as well
as he possibly can for us to
become a contender.”
“I enjoy the ‘take charge’
role,” he continued, “although
that’s probably not quite the
correct term. ‘Spark plug’
might be more accurate.
That’s the only way I know
how to play.”

There are other aspects to
Dave Johnson, the person.
He’s a mathematician, having
graduated from Trinity
University in San Antonio,
Tex., with a bachelor of
science degree in 1970. He
applied his math skill to
baseball while with the Orioles
and devised the best possible
Oriole lineup on the
computer.
TEPEE TOPICS: The
Braves have several special
games coming up at Atlanta
Stadium which should be great
additional entertainment for
fans. The annual Bat Day is on
Sunday, June 10, when the
Cards are at the Stadium for a
1:35 p.m. doubleheader. Bat
Day is being sponsored this
year by Burger King, and the
first 20,000 youngsters who
attend the game on a reserved
seat ticket will receive a free
Little League-style bat.
Another special attraction
will be the first Teen Night
ever at Atlanta Stadium on
Friday Night, June 15, when
the Braves play the Cubs. All
teenagers will be admitted for
one third of the normal price
in the upper level that night.
Teens need pay only one
dollar for the special ticket
which will be sold at the
Stadium on the day of the
game.
The annual Old-Timers
Game, scheduled for June 30,
will be bigger than ever this
year. Nearly 40 great
Old-Timers have already
accepted invitations, and all
played in Major League
All-Star Games during their
careers.

ordering Braves tickets, write
to the Braves Ticket
Department, Box 4064,

8. CLEAN OUT LARGE
STORM SEWERS: In three
locations we have large storm
sewers that are very nearly
plugged with sand. It is
impractical to try to flush
these sewers with fire hose or
to put men inside them to
carry it out. This can be done
rather cheaply and effectively
by commercial concerns with
special equipment.
9. ROCKY CREEK
DREDGING: A rather serious
flooding problem exists on
Rocky Creek in the vicinity of
Abelia and Wimberly Drives.
We plan to start at the mouth
of Rocky Creek and clean and
dredge to at least Highway 25.

GOOD FAST SERVICE
The Augusta News-Review - June 7, 1973,
Athens
Cont’d from page 4
in our present darkness. Many of the good things happening in
this country do not make the newspaper or news media headlines.
The election of a Black mayor for Los Angeles and the role of the
press in the Watergate mess are just two examples of hope for
tomorrow.
The most pressing need now is for the president and Congress
to devote some time to other domestic and international crises.
Inflation and the downward dollar trend, the Indo-China War,
Welfare reform and other matters merit their immediate
attention. The so-called gas shortage that was obviously promoted
by the big companies to end competition from the independent
oil companies is another matter that nees investigation. Let us put
our shoulders to the grindstone and “get down to brass tacks”.
Two other items of interest as it relates to Augusta deserve, our
attention. The first item has to do with the way Black Richmond
countians and Black county commissioner Ed Mclntyre have been
shafted by the local white political leadership. The chairman of
the Richmond County Commission, Norman Simowitz , who was
elected to that position in spite of the fact that Commissioner
Mclntyre was the logical choice for the same, has appointed a
coliseum planning committee minus Mclntyre. This is odd since
Mclntyre was an early strong supporter of a coliseum for
Augusta. Without Mclntyre serving on that Coliseum Committee,
Blacks in Augusta and Richmond County are not adequately
represented by a group engaged in planning a public facility that
Blacks are expected to support. This is no new song but it is the
same old trick game run by short memory white politicians.
The present chairman of the County Commission courted
Black support mightly when he was running for political office.
He has obviously followed the tradition of many white politicians
who are long on promises until they get into office. Blacks must
remember him when the next election time rolls around. Black
Richmond countians must demand representation on the
coliseum planning committee by Commissioner Mclntyre as well
as other Blacks.
Commissioner Mclntyre deserves our support since he is our
only representative on the Commission. He hs served ably and
well and really should be the chairman of that political entity.
The other commissioners are strangely silent about this matter
but we will hear from them when they seek reelection next time.
Letters and telephone calls as well as personal visits to the current
commission chairman protesting this blight are in order for local
Blacks and Whites who are duly concerned.
The final item is a brighter note since it involves the seventeeth
pastoral Anniversary of the Rev. Charles S. Hamilton as pastor of
he Tabernacle Baptist Church in Augusta. This anniversary was
celebrated on last Sunday which was the first Sunday in June.
The Rev. Mr. Hamilton has provided a high quality of Black
leadership in conjunction with other Black leaders on a local,
state and national level. He has served well on the Augusta City
Council, as president of the Augusta N.A.A.C.P. branch, and
other areas of great importance. His leadership at the Tabernacle
Church has meant much growth spiritually and physically for the
congregation and facility. Our congratulations go to this minister
who is providing important leadership for his church and
community.
