JUST MISSES BIRDIE Lee Trevino blasts out of the trap on the 12th hole on a birdie attempt in the second round of the Kemper Open and grimaces as the ball misses the cup 64 By Trevino May Warm-Up For US Open Club at Marion Ala on June 10 The league starts a 20-game season on July 10 with no exhibition games Most games will be played on Wednesday nights and there will be a nationally televised game every Thursday night The season runs until the day after Thanksgiving when the league title game dubbed the is scheduled THE HONOLULU team plays its home games on Sunday creating quite a road By BOB INGRAM Los Diablos are on a treadmill that seems to be going in reverse They started the series with the Victoria Toros Tuesday two games back of the San Antonio -Brewers in Texas League West They won five out of six games in the series with the Victorians Nobody could hardly ask for any better a performance YET AS THEY get ready to open a six-game series with the Shreveport Captains at 7:30 pm here today they are three games back They lost ground because the Brewers got a sweep over Shreveport On the positive side however think what position the Diablos would be in today had they split the Victoria series or lost It They could be practically out of the race John Andrews will face the Shreveports who are coming here either lower than Watergate defendants or a team that is about to rebound A twinbill is set at 2 pm tomorrow WHEN IT comes to extrainning games the Diablos and their young left hander Jim Officer are just about invulnerable Dave Garcia saw his Diabs last night play their fourth extra inning game of the season and come out the winner for the fourth time a mark of a good team when it can consistently win those kind of squeakers As for Jim Officer it was his first 12-inning game in pro baseball However in high school play he pitched two 12-inning games and won them both It was by far the most impressive performance of the season by the Oregonian who could become another Frank Tanana for El Paso IN HIS 12 INNINGS he threw a curve that snapped and popped and what he describes as his best fast ball 'of the season He gave up only nine hits and had 11 strikeouts Far from being tired from the extra work he said: felt stronger in the last four or five innings than 1 did early in the game That win gave me a lot of Officer tied the Victoria starter Nardi Contreras and beat the Toro relief man Tim Milner The El Paso lefty with a little luck could have won it in the regulation nine Going into the top of the inning he had a 2-1 lead Outfielder Ron Diggle scratched an infield hit Officer then got two men out but catcher Jay Kievan hit one up 'against the boards in right center and Diggle scored with the tying run THE DIABLOS won it in the bottom of the 12th with two out Rocky Jordan walked advanced to second when Gerry ball was booted and went to third when Marty Friedman drew a walk The bases were filled and Dan Briggs a very dependable stiekster was at the plate Double play conscious Garcia told Briggs: you hit the ball on the ground you streak for first with everything T)ie manager want Briggs doubled out His advice was needless Briggs lofted the ball to cen-terfield in the hands of outfielder Rich Miller Jordan scored after the catch THE DIABS got a run in the first inning when Remy was batted in by Briggs The Toros tied it in the second when Diggle doubled and was plated by single El Paso got the go ahead run in the fifth a tainted tally Orlando got oh by an error and was driven home by Remy LITTLE DO YOU: El Paso's speed manifested itself in the game as Remy Briggs and Ramirez stole bases Their fleetness and threat to steal keep opposing pitchers off balance Friedman was thrown out trying to stretch a single into a double in the 10th I make a he asked Garcia you think you could make asked the manager said Marty you make a said Dave A crowd of 3104 boosted El attendance to 31392 for the season El Paso

pitcher Greg Cook for a favor yesterday afternoon gave him the ball and asked him to get me a double said Petroff after Cook snuffed a ninth-inning rally by top-ranked Arizona to give UNC a 6-5 win in the opening round of the NCAA district 7 playoffs Cook came on to relieve freshman starter Keith Bailey in the ninth with two runs in the bases loaded and only one out He proceeded to get top hitter Ron Hassey who brought a 432 batting average with him to hit back to the mound and Cook turned it into a game-ending double play the oniy person I have for relief Petroff said after the game had no choice but to bring him on Keith was getting a little Bailey was credited with the win his ninth straight while ace Dave Breuker suffered his first loss on the year after 15 wins trip for clubs that will play a West Coast team on Wednesday and then fly to Honolulu for a game three days later The other two leagues to challenge the NFL in the last three decades were the All-America Conference which folded when the NFL absorbed its best teams after the 1949 season and the AFL which started in 1960 and got the NFL to agree to a merger by 1966 Unlike the AFL which competed with the NFL for college talent the WFL has concentrated on signing NFL players to future contracts EXCEPT FOR a few players like Charley Harraway most of these players be available until 1975 So the WFL will have to try to win public acceptance this year a inly with unknown players The new league says it has over 1000 players under contract but most of them were cut by NFL teams in the past or were never even drafted The NFL which is currently involved in contract negotiations with the Players Association is not scheduled to start its regular season until September although exhibition games begin late July if no

MITCHELL CHARLOTTE NC (UPI) Lee Trevino beefed up for the US Open later this month had little room to breathe in the Kemper Open despite his record shattering 64 in the second round yesterday The Quail Hollow Country Club course playing 7085 yards for the designated event yielded so many birdies during the first two days of play that those who failed to break par by two strokes were sent home shot 70-69 and not bad golf on a 7000-yard said a frustrated Jack Nicklaus who starts five strokes back today no wind the greens are good and you feel like you make a mistake or you drop back 10 TREVINO who intentionally put on 10 pounds so he can next week to prepare for the US Open said he played one of his best competitive rounds over the course which places a premium on putting been putting exceptionally said Trevino winner of the New Orleans Open who sank putts of 20 and 18 feet on the front nine lfany of the golfers had predicted earlier this week that a 12-under-par might win the event but they are not anticipating more roupds similar to because of the huge greens which are relatively free from deep bunkers and water hazards SIX GOLFERS were tied at nine-under-par 135 entering play including JC Snead Jerry Heard John Jacobs Gibby Gilbert Chi Chi Rodriguez and young Tom Watson the first round leader who posted a 70 Friday made nd bogeys in two said Jacobs think the first time in my life played two rounds without a golf course I think is quite that said Nicklaus who has played in only one Kemper Open because Quail Hollow reward accurate drives going to have to shoot two good rounds (to be in contention) Sixty-four or 65 is now a good AMONG THE players sent home were Arnold Palmer who turned in a 76 Friday to move to 146 after two rounds missing his third cut in a row and the fourth in the past five wseks It is the first time in his illustrious career that Palmer has missed three consecutive cuts Gary Player winner of last week's Memphis Classic barely

giveaway their purse at the Coliseum wrestling match this week But there were two errors in the advance stories The dollars silver dollars (they make those kind anymore) and the grapplers throw them to the crowd They handed them out They are more lethal than those bobby pins Gorgeous George used to throw to the fans Getting Out of Hand IT LOOKS LIKE a two-team race now in the Texas League West with El Paso and San Antonio far out in front of the other two teams Some teams may be asking for a split season Mrs John Swegler whose son Paul is a skilled volleyballer with the Dallas YMCA and has competed nationally makes the same complaint you hear from basketball fans officials let the teams Mrs Swegler in talking about El Paso games observed She believes too much whistle blowing hard to
