i 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.” Mclntyre Cont’d from page 1 made of what is required. 7.

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. For information on ordering Braves tickets, write to the Braves Ticket Department, Box 4064, Atlanta 30302. 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. 10.

IONES RECORD SHOP LP'S & TAPES SNACKS 1006 1 sth Ave. 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. Harambee!! CURTIS CENTER DISCOUNT DRUG 1596’/. LINDEN STREET Open 9:00 A.M. - 9:00 P.M.
