THERE WAS PLENTY of action In the Newton LL game Involving
the Cubs and Stewart Monday evening at Baker Field. The Cub

Stewart team when this action photo was taken by Bob Hunter.

UMPIRE DOUG BLEDSOE apparently went all the way down to third
base to make this call in a Newton LL game Monday evening. The
Cub base-runner slid in safely.

Will Joe Namath Stick It Out?
The time is drawing near for the New York Jets to meet the
College All-Stars at Soldier Field, Chicago (August 1). Smce the
bizarre mystery of Joe Namath’s retirement rather than sell his
interest in his New York Restaurant, Bachelors m, it is debatable
as to whether he will un-retire in time for that tilt. th „ t
Os all the columns we have read on the subject it seems mat
Bill Kastelz, Sports Editor of the Jacksonville (Fla.) Times-Union,
best sums up the situation and what it could mean to Joe and pro
football:
MUST STAY IN PUBLIC EYE
With Namath playing pro football — and starring as he does —
almost any business venture in which he becomes involved is
’ almost bound to be successful. „ u j
' But, let us suppose that Namath stays retired and along come
' some new faces, new personalities and they move right into the
1 spotlight- How many pub-crawlers would still be lured by the
^^While it’s porbably true that Namath could quit right now without
ever having to worry about getting on the welfare rolls, it is also
true thathis ability to make me big play off the field probably
would be hampered more than just a little.
I know a lot of ex-pro athletes who opened restaurants and night
clubs and while some of them made a big go rs it—mwe erf
them made just an ordinary living — few of them kept raking hi the
kind of money it takes to keep Joe Willie Namath on the move.
Sports fame is a fickle thing at best. Yes, I know Jack Dempsey
made a whopping success of his New York restaurant, but I would
dare say Dempsey was considerably better known than Namath is
rig The n °re*ason Joe Namath will come out of retirement is not be
cause of any burning desire for more physical punishment, but,
rather, the eventual realization that unless he is an active, star
pro quarterback, much of the luster will be rubbed off his many
^Not^tliat Joe needs the money right now. But, when you get a
taste of llama rugs and Caddy convertibles, it’s hard to go back
1 to Beaver Falls.

Stanfill Will Be Defensive End
Georgia’s All-American tackle Bill Stanfill will be used as a
defensive end by the Miami Dolphins of the AFL.. .Orlando Cepeda
must seem to be a little flattered by fans in Atlanta who voted him
second as the All-Time Brave First Baseman behind Joe Adcock.
Cepeda has been a brave less than two months when he received the
voting honor. . .Thad Blankenship of the Rams, now slated to play
in the North-South All-Star game at Macon in August, had an average
of 21.3 points per game and 13.4 rebounds during the past cage
season. Thad played in all 27 games during the past campaign.
Bradley's Record On The Line
Grady Rowell (who married a Newton County girl, former Myrl
Watson) of Daytona Beach, Fla., manages a Senior Babe Ruth League
team there. He has a pitcher on his club who struck out 21 batters
last year in a seven-inning game. The hurler is now 17 years of
age and his name is Kenny Parsons . . . Coach Ronald Bradley s
perfect record will be on the line in the 1969 North-South Georgia
High School All-Star game at Macon. He won one tilt as head coach
and two as assistant . . . Youngest manager in the Major Leagues
is Dave Bristol of Cincinnati at 35.
Harris Practices On Hilltopper Court
Here’s what Lee Trevino says of the two famous golfers, Arnold
Palmer and Billy Casper: “Arnold Palmer is still the king of golL
but I don’t care what anybody says, Casper is the best in the
world”. . . Tony Harris recently visited his grandparents m Bowl
ing Green, Ky. and spent most of his time in the Ed piddle Gym
nasium, home of the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, playing pickup
basketball with high schoolers in that city... Carver s Coach Cal
vin Jones has taken a summertime job with the Atlanta Hawks as
Director of Summer Youth Activities.
11 Monday Night Pro Telecasts
Eleven Monday night NFL pro games will be telecast this coming
season. This means that the college games will have Saturday
and the pros Sunday and Monday on the tube... Boys State personnel
attended the Tuesday night game of the Braves vs Chicago Cubs
as guests of the Atlanta team . . . Frank Robinson of Baltimore
has a unique distinction in that he was named to the All-Time team
of the Orioles and the Cincy Reds.
Region BAA Mentors Honored
Region BAA coaches have been named to head the North Georgia
All-Stars in both basketball and football in the Annual Games in
Macon, August 7-8. Ronald Bradley of the Rams is the North
mentor for the cage tilt, and Bobby 'Gruhn of Gainesville is the
football coach for the North-squad . . . Luke Appling, a Georgian,
has been voted the “Greatest White Sox Ever” by Chicago fans.
Appling is in the Hall of Fame and was a great infielder for the
Chi team .

MEET SPEEDY
TONY GONZALEZ
Going under the wire (the
trading deadline), the Braves
reached out to San Diego and
came up with a veteran out
fielder to fill in for injured
Felipe Alou, and maybe even
take over an outfield spot
permanently.
Andres Antonio ‘Tony’ Gon
zalez is the newest Brave,
wearing No. 43. He’ll fill in
for Alou, who has endured
both a broken hand and a
broken finger during the first
three months of the season.
When Alou returns, Gon
zalez could go to left field,
freeing Rico Carty and Tito
Francona for right and left
handed pinch-hitting, respec
tively.
Gonzalez is 32 (the same
age as Orlando Cepeda) and
a native of Mayaguez, Cuba.
He was a regular for the Phil
adelphia Phillies for eight
years, during which he batted
over .300 three times, play
ed 205 consecutive errorless
games to seta National League
record for outfielders, and
batted .339 just two years ago.
The Phillies allowed him to
be drafted by the new San
Diego Padres last Fall, and
in 52 games at Sin Diego
his usually high batting ave
rage fell to .225.

ting wet. water attracts bacteria
which only speeds decay.
Always put an Ice chest in the
boat and take along some plastic
bags. The bags are perfect
wrapping and will keep cleaned
fish from contacting any water
in the ice chest. It’s better to
lay fish on top of the ice than to
bury them, and the chest should
be opened occasslonally to let in
some fresh air.
In addition to not bouncing fish
on the stringer, this method of
handling assures you of good eat
ing when you get them home.
However, the most Important
consideration, advise the lads at
Mercury, Is that if -the woman
of the house likes to eat the fish
you catch, bringing them home in
this manner will make it easier
to get away the next time you
want to go fishing.

BRAVE
TALK
by the Publicity Dept,
of the Atlanta Braves
Atlanta, believing there are
still a lot of hits left in Tony’s
bat, acquired him in a trade
June 12. In return, the Braves
sent to Sin Diego catcher
Walt Hriniak, who had play
ed in only seven games this
year, and minor league play
ers Van Kelly and Andy Fin
lay.
The deal was considered a
success for both San Diego
which is looking for young
players to develop for the fu
ture, and Atlanta, which needs
a veteran to help in a push
for the Western Division title.
*♦ ♦ ♦
BRAVE BITS
Whefi the team left for Pitts
burgh and a weekend series
there, Hank Aaron was just 12
hits (2,861 to 2,873) and four
doubles (502 to 506) behind
the immortal Babe Ruth.. .The
Braves inserted rookie Dar
rell Evans in the lineup June 6.
A reporter asked Vice Presi
dent Paul Richards if the re
call of Evans from the minors
was temporary. “Yes, like
Lou Gehrig’s!” answered
Richards. . .Evans, outfielder
Dusty Baker, and pitchers
Garry Hill and Gary Neibauer
are four youngsters who have
been promoted to the major
league team recently.
