The Augusta News-Review - November 21, 1973 ALK The Official Report from Georgia's Big League Team There’s nothing borrowed or nothing blue on the Atlanta Braves’ 1973-74 40-man winter roster, but there is something old and something new. Twenty Braves, headed by the incomparable Hank Aaron, were protected on the same list a year ago, while there are 19 newcomers and one player who had been protected previously but not last season. The roster includes 17 pitchers, 12 infielders, eight outfielders and three catchers. Many of the Braves play more than one position. Aaron, entering his 21st major league season, will become baseball’s all-time home run champion early in 1974. The remarkable slugger powered 40 homers this past year to bring his career total to 713, one short of Babe Ruth’s historical record. Aaron, who will be 40 years old in February, show no signs of aging as he led the Braves in hitting with a .301 average and drove in 96 runs, including 12 game-winners. Also prominent on the roster are the other two-thirds of Atlanta’s home run trio. Dave Johnson set a record for homers by a second baseman with 43 and third baseman Darrell Evans hit 41 to make the Braves the first team in history to have three players with 40 or more home runs. Evans’ other credentials of 104 RBls and 114 runs helped him earn selection as die Associated Press’ major league all-star third baseman. Nine pitchers are among those not on last winter’s list. They are Carl Morton, Roric Harrison, Gary Gentry, Danny Frisella, Max Leon, Joe Niekro, Dave Cheadle, Jamie Easterly and Larry Kiser (recendy bought from Kinston of the Carolina League). Other newcomers are catchers Circulation Agents AGENTS TO CIRCULATE THE AUGUSTA NEWS-REVIEW IN THEIR OWN RESIDENTIAL AREA WELL PAID. CALL 722-4555 or 793-5617. ASK FOR JAMES STEWART. DIXIE COAL CO.

Pitcher Gary Neibaurer had been protected by the Braves earlier, but was the Philadelphia Phillies’ property at the start of last season. The winter roster protects players who have been signed for more than two professional seasons from being claimed by another major league club in the winter draft next month in Houston. BRAVES HIRE STARRETTE AS PITCHING COACH The Adanta Braves have hired Herm Starrette, the Baltimore Orioles’ minor league pitching instructor for the past six years, as their major league pitching coach. Starrette, 34, replaces Lou Burdette, whose contract was not renewed at the end of last season. A native of North Carolina, Starrette pitched nine years in the Oriole organization starting in 1958. He compiled a 1-1 record with a 2.54 ERA in 27 games as a relief pitcher for the Orioles in 1963-65 and had a 17-7 record for Aberdeen (S.D.) of the Northern League in 1959 and 22 saves for Elmira (N.Y.) of the Eastern League in 1962. Starrette gave up his active career because of a some arm. “I always admired the way he worked as an active pitcher,” Eddie Robinson, Braves’ vice president for baseball operations, said. “He may have lacked in raw ability, but those that do, learn more, have to use more ingenuity and are better able to teach." Page 8 Georgia Motorists Urged To Be Prepared For Accident Involvement If you’re one of the more than 3 million persons licensed by Georgia to drive on the often traffic-jammed highways and by-ways of this country, the chances of your being involved in an auto accident in the next four or five years are high. National accident figures show that in 1972, 29.1 million drivers were involved in 24.8 million accidents. Because there werellß.2 million licensed drivers that year, one driver in four may have been involved in a crash. What should you do in the aftermath of an accident -a sudden and frequently traumatic event when emotions run high? The most valuable preparations for such emergencies, the Insurance Information Institute says, is for every driver to understand fully and memorize these primary responsibilities: Stop! Identify yourself! Offer aid to any injured person! Failure to perform these duties at the scene of an accident may carry sever legal penalties. The Institute notes that drivers involved in accidents where a person is hurt must come to a stop, provide identification and offer to assist the injured, or face a possible fine and/or imprisonment. Most states require a convicted person’s license to be revoked. “Being “involved in an accident" has little to do with causing it, the Institute points out. You are “involved” if your vehicle comes into contact with another vehicle, pedestrian or object, or if you cause or contribute to a crash by another driver even though there is no physical contact with your vehicle. An involved driver’s first duty is to stop immediately - as close to the scene as possible but without necessarily obstructing traffic. Park on the shoulder and pull clear of any intersections, the Institute says. It not only is unlawful for a movable vehicle to be left in he roadway, it also is inconsiderate and dangerous. Be careful, however, to note where the vehicles were at the point of impact for subsequent reference in preparing accident reports. Identifying yourself is extremely important in all types of motor vehicle accidents - whether the accident invokes other drivers or unattended property such as parked cars or fixed objects along the roadside. In an accident involving other drivers, you must supply all injured and involved persons and/or investigationg police officers with your name, address, vehicle resgistration number and driver’s license number. In an accident involving unattended property you are required either to locate the owner and give him the same information or attach a note containing this information to the property and immediately notify the police. Never leave the scene of an accident without identifying yourself in some way. If you go to call for an ambulance or the police, the Institute recommends you leave some identification behind to avoid any possible misunderstanding of your intentions. Prompt medical attention can mean the difference between life and death to many auto accident victims. It therefore is not only the legal but also the moral duty of a driver involved in an accident to aid an injured person who requests or obviously needs medical treatment. This requires making arrangements tor transporting the person to a hospital or doctor. Usually, you simply call for an ambulance, but if his injuries are minor or a telephone is a long way off, it may be preferable to drive him yourself. As a general rule, however, you should not attempt to move an unconscious or seriously hurt person. The primary concern is obtaining qualified medical or first-aid treatment as soon as possible. Drivers involved in accidents resulting in death or injury must notify the police by the quickest means of communication, usually the telephone. In such cases or where property damage exceeds SIOO, drivers normally ase required to file within five or 10 days written accidents reports to the appropriate agencies in the state where the accident occurred. Apart from these legal requirements, the Institute also • *» ** B *' l * ■ PAINE DEFEATS VOORHEES Paine forward Lindsay Napier (32) battles unidentified Voorhees player for rebound.
