Pin down Angel broadcaster Buddy ZOlattner and he'll admit with a sigh that he yearns for tlie time when the dub establishes a winning pattern. It XI make things so much easier. Plainly, it's tough to sustain the interest of your listeners when you're with a loser.

"Certainly, we have to work hardex- -when we're losing, acknowledges Blatter. "It's so "very easy in victory. Deep down, everyone loves a winner. People get all enthused. Everything you say goes over big.

I've been on both ends as a broadcaster I know. "When you're losing you have to txy harder to give the people pleasant things to think atxut. Particularly when you get behind real early and. you're facing a pitcher who isn't likely to give up any runs. Unless you're prepared for it, interest is going to lag.

I try to fill in at these times with little anecdotes." Blattner begins preparations for sa. broadcast two hours before he leaves his home. He'll head for the park three hours before a game. His working day will average around nine hours, seven Jays a week during the baseball season. He believes Angel fans are far from discouraged.

"In talking to people and from the letters we get, we get very few knocks, says Blattner. But we do get a lot of mail suggesting lineups for Bill Rigney." He doesn't call any of it to Rigney attention unless it is real kind or sympathetic. "He ge? stacks of mail, too," Blattner explained. Blattner keeps on good terms witti all the players. "Like everyone else," he says, "they like to read and hear nice things about themselves.

He likes to get reasonably close to their families, too Tries to Duck Anaheim Cu est ions Many people ask him when he tl-iinks the Angels will move to" Anaheim. "I always ry, 'Gee, I don't Blattner says. "And I really don't. The only time I had a strong feeling that we would was after the interview Don Wells had with Gene AutryandDel Webb in New York." This is Blattner's 15th year in "fcroadcasting and 27th year in baseball. He started as a second baseman with Columbus of the American Association in 1938.

He played 272 games in the National ILeague for three clubs, the Cardinals, Giants and Prixllies, and batted .247. The Blattners live in Woodland mills. They have three daughters, ages, 17, 14 and Pancho Segura, the tennis player, is a next door neigenbor. Buddy looks forward to the large arowds the Angels surely will draw for the Yankee series this weekend. "Naturally you get a lift from a large- crowd," he says.

"I'd dearly love to have 40,000 people in the stands at every game. A crowd creates its own excitement You're stirred by it. A writer will write betrter, a player will respond, and so do the men in the broadcasting booth." What does he see in store for the Axigels this season? Yanks Should Bring Better Things "I don't like to say we've been jir-uxed," says Blattner, "but I do think we've developed a. bonafide major league ball club. We've just not been putting things together this season.

We've been giv-ing the opposition one run a game and losing it by one rxon. "We've had some misfortunes. JCen McBride, who has been our best pitcher he was our stopper-has won one and lost nine! Albie Pearson is hitting .215. He used to live on base last year. Jirrx Kregosi has been on the bench with injuries.

He's ovir leading hitter. These things are frustrating. But do believe we're better than any of the other expansion clubs," Things may pick up this week. F-erhaps zany Dick Stuart will help the gate in the Bosox series. Then come the Yankees.

The Angels customarily draw 38 of their total attendance in their nine liome games with the Yanks. Without the Yanks the American League would have to go out of business. Yet some feel the league would be a lot better off with a gooc3 race. "If we had four or five clubs fighting for the fla each year," they say, "running neck-and-neck like in the National League, we'd be in much better shape.
