THEBAYTOWNSUN Sunday, July 18,1971 13 AL Roundup Blue Fires One-Hitter By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The first three innings were nothing like the All-Star Game: But the outcome was the same. It was brilliance-as-usual for Vida Blue Friday night. Oakland's amazing left-hander, less than amazing against the National Leaguers, picked up where he left off a week ago against the Americans, blazing his way to a one-hit, 4-0 victory over Detroit for victory No. 18. Blue allowed a pair of devastating home runs in the three All-Star innings he worked--but won the game anyway.

The A's flamethrower, presented with a 4-0 lead in the first inning against the Tigers, proceeded to smother the opposition until Tony Taylor got their only hit, a leadoff single in the fourth, then allowed only a pair of walks--wiped out by double plays--the rest of the way. The nine strikeouts increased Blue's league-leading total to 197. It was also his seventh shutout of the year and second one-hitter of his career. In other American League action Friday night, Sonny Siert survived a ninth-inning scare to chalk up his 13th victory as Boston bombed Minnesota 9-4, the Chicago White Sox tamed Washington 2-0, the New York Yankees defeated Mil- waukee 7-4, Cleveland blitzed Kansas City and California squeaked by Baltimore 54. In the National League, Pittsburgh nipped San Diego 2-1, St.

Louis blanked Montreal 6-0, Atlanta trimmed Los Angeles 3-1, San Francisco edged Cincinnati 4-3, the Chicago Cubs walloped Philadelphia 11-2 and Houston, aided by a triple play, smacked the New York Mets 94.

"We have a lot of advance ticket sales for this tournament, of course," he added, 'but we also have at least 20 per cent paying at the gate. With Trevino, in, we can expect some 30,000 to come out the final two days. We figure that if Trevino hadn't made the cut, we would have lost at least $20,000 in cash customers." failed to show and subjected themselves to $100 a day Fines. Coach Tom Landry said, "I Thursday and he was still up 1 and he was still up in the air whether he was going to play or retire." Landry wasn'tsureif contract problems were bothering Howley. Landry said, "He's always been a level-headed guy and there's never been a problem.

I think we've been fair with the contract and he does too." orful Mexican-American, winner of the United States, Canadian and British Opens in the last four weeks, trailed co- leaders Dick Lotz and Bobby Nichols by 10 strokes going into the third round. The fact that he qualified for the final 36 holes was of utmost importance, especially since such attractions as Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Palyer, Tony Jackson and Masters champion Charles Coody skipped this event. Conceding "I've got. no chance," Trevino said, ''I've hit the ball just about like I've been hitting it for the last month. But the grass on the fairway is so long you can't do It didn't matter that the col-l anything with the ball.

You get nothing but flyers out of it -you just don't know what the sail is going to do." Two consecutive 74s assured Trevino that he would be back for the final two rounds. His 148 total was one below the cutoff point but far behind Nichols and Lotz, who shared the lead with four under-par 138's. Lotz, winner of two tourneys last year, fired a sparkling 32 on the front side of the Olympia Fields Course Friday, but struggled to a 37 on the back nine for a 69. Nichols, the 1964 PGA champion, had the day's best round, a four-under-par 67, despite a bogey on the final hole. Here is a real champion.

He is the No. 1 slingshot artist in the Baytown area. He hasn't found anybody who can beat him. He is J. P.

(Burley) Burleson, 55, who lives at 1405 E. James. Sometimes he might demonstrate a used car or fix one so it will run for some member of his family, but most of the time he would rather shoot a slingshot. He carries one in his hip-pocket most of the time, always carries one in his car or pick-up, and is never far from one. Burleson, retired from the storehouse division of the Humble's Baytown Refinery, has been an "expert" with a slingshot since he was 10 years old.

He is such an expert he claims it really is easy to hit flying birds, darting squirrels and speed demon quail. "Of course you have to practice a lot, and even so there will be misses, maybe many of says. But, like a lot of other things, it's ttie percentage that counts. When you have practiced a lot or have been going a field every once in a while, it is easy to hit flying birds even from a 'moving car. Burleson's brother, T.

lives in Pasadena. T. M. made the bois d'arc stock he carries all of the time. He made it 20 years ago.

That's just how good they are if they are taken care of. That bois d'arc stock is polished with both use and age and it is as good now as when it was made. Burleson takes care of his slingshot like some antique gun owners take care of their private stock. For "power" in his slingshots, Burleson uses surgical tubing, which can stretch to four or five feet with little effort. For ammunition he likes to use one-half inch steel balls, but they are hard to come by these days.

Burleson has killed squirrels, doves, 'coons and quail with his trusty slingshot, and his dead-eye aim. But has never killed a duck with it. "You can't effectively use a slingshot in cold weather," Burleson said. "You just can't hold it Jong enough to get good aim. The last time a visiting friend challenged Burleson to a slingshot shooting match, the friend used a rifle.

Burleson hit a pitched can 12 times our of 12 attempts, and the friend hasn't hit a can yet. Indeed, Burleson, in all kindly modesty and smiling, admits he is just about the best slingshot artist around.

However, the odds are good that a novice is going to sub-surface drinking and inhaling water all the way Obviously, body skiing and barefoot skiing require stam ina and muscle, as well as skill Daryl began skiing when he was nine.
