RED’S around the mound

Suds mightier than coke?

Read some mutterings
from Mushville over my
coffee, peanut butter and
toast yesterday morn. And
while picking the peanut
butter from my teeth the
thought came to mind of
why a couple of so so ball
players like Arnold-Smith
io pillow fighting. Sharpe's

pillow fighting. e's

ition ae the Red's was
in jeopardy because of the
good young players coming
out of the minor baseball
system. As for Smith!
maybe the suds are
mightier than the coke. Who
knows?

Hat off to Zloklikovits for
what you have been able to
accomplish so far with
pillow fighters. What Elza
Dodd can do best is just
that; turn the club around
and with Pistol Pete’s
leadership you got a real
machine there. As for Garry
Paulson getting bored I
doubt a young man with the
ability he has is ever going
to get that bored. Pillow
fighting is maybe a good

sport for recreation but so
might be marbles.

Meanwhile across the
tracks things are
progressing nicely. The
outfield fence is just about
completed at Kerr-Rotary
Park. John Smaha’s dry
cleaners is not going to
purchase 50 feet of ad-
vertising on the new fence.
He is retired.

There is nO More room on
the bus for Red fans at-

tending the opener in
Smithers this coming
Sunday.

The Red’s Baseball Club
has confirmed they will not
compete in the Native
Summer Games but will
honor all league games
scheduled against
Morricetown whether the
government settles land
elaims or not.

Hazelton is back in the
Bulkley Valley Baseball
League. Remember the
good old days of Bear Foot

NORTON-BOBICK

for bout winner

NEW YORK (AP) — Ken
Norton, who believes in the
theory of mind over matter,
and Duane Bobick, untested
but outwardly undaunted
about his first big test as a
pro, fight tonight in Madison
Square Garden.

“Your mind has to be
ready,” said Norton.
‘Anything the mind can
conceive, the body can
achieve.”'

So far, he has twice failed
to achieve the heavyweight
championship of the world,
being knocked out in the
second round by George
Foreman and losing a
disputed 15-round decision

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
Janet Guthrie cracked the
wall ‘Tuesday during
practice for the Indianapolis
50) auto race, just after
cracking the 190 mile-an-
hour barrier at Indianapolis
Motor Speedway. She was
not hurt. - ;

Guthrie, 39, attempting to
become the first ‘woman to
qualify for the $1 million
race May. 29, had just been
clocked at 191.023 m.p.h. in
her Lightning when she lost’
control coming out of the
second turn.

The car spun once and
Guthrie had almost brought
it back under control when
the right front whacked the
outside retaining wall.

A hospital spokesman said
Guthrie had a slight bruise
on her Jeft shin and a small
cut on her left thumb. She
was given permission to
continue driving.

to Muhammad Ali. And a
loss to Bobick would almost
certainly put that
achievement beyond
Norton's reach.

Bobick, who has been
openly supported by Ali, not
only is unbeaten,. but he
would be billed as a “‘white
hope,”’ a label he disdains.
His manager, former
champion Joe Frazier, and
trainer, Eddie Futeh, are
black.

Futch, who once trained
Norton, agreed with his
former charge that mental
condition is important and
he thinks Bobick’s frame of
mind has been helped by the
postponement of the bout. It
originally was scheduled for
March 2 but was postponed
when Bobick suffered torn

with his brother Rodney,

‘It helped him a great
deal because during the
layoff he was preparin
himself mentally,’’ sai
Futch.

Norton weighed in
Tuesday at 222% pounds for
the scheduled 12-round fight.
He weighed 217% when he
lost to Ali Sept. 28. Bobick
weighed 21514.

The fight will be televised
nationally by NBC, with the
main event set for about
10:30 p.m. EDT,

Norton, 31, was a 12-to-5
favorite locally and his edge
would seem to be based on
the strength of having met
better fighters.

“Who's he fought?” is the
knock against Bobick, 26,
who has 38-0 record with 32
knockouts.

Norton has a 37-4-0 record.

Physically, the two
fighters are about equal.
Both are 6-foot-3 while
Norton’s reach at 80 inches
is an inch longer than
Bobick’s.

Dubasov and Walter More
are playing for Hazelton.

Looks like they should be a

solid contender.
