Street Game
The warm weather of recent days has moved a lot of Burleson people outdoors for
gardening, barbecuing, and (in photo) a street softball game. While most sports

THE TEXAS Rangers won
their fourth straight game
Thursday, 4-0 over the Mon-
treal Expos, to climb atop
the American League
Grapefruit standings with a
7-3 record.
While Buddy Bell was
clubbing a three run
homerun and Charlie Hough,
Doc Medich, and Jim Farr
combining on an eight-hit
shutout. Ranger executive
vice president Eddie Robin-
son was on the phone talking
to various other club
presidents about A1 Oliver
The 35-year-old Oliver,
who has averaged .319 with
Texas the past four years, is
on the trading block after
Robinson reaffirmed the
club's long-standing policy
against renegotiating con-
tracts.
Oliver is unhappy with his
$320,000-a-year salary with
the Ranger and the contract
that runs through 1985 He
feels that there are several
other players on the team
making more money even
though he is acknowledged
as the best or one of the two
or three best players on the
team
The thing that triggered
the Oliver affair was the
signing of Frank Tanana, a
free agent from the Boston
Red Sox The pitcher was
signed to a very lucrative
contract and you knew there
would be some established
Rangers unhappy within a
short period of time.
The rumor mill has Oliver
going to Geroge Steinbren
ner and the Yankees for
Oscar Gamble and a pitcher,
perhaps Gene Nelson. It’s
possible that Texas will
come up with a package deal
with Montreal, Pittsburgh,
or New York The Rangers
have a logjam at several
positions with some good
minor league prospects
ready to move in.
AN AGELESS wonder in
the order of Pete Rose,
Gaylord Perry, and Carl
Yastrzemski is working into
shape in St. Petersburg,
Fla., with the St. Louis Card-
inals.
43-year-old Jim Kaat is
with his fifth team in his
23-year pitching career and
only five other pitchers have
appeared in more games
than the 6-5 Kaat. Kaat has

started 624 games coming in
to the 1982 season and only
four other hurlers in the
history of the game have
more starts: Cy Young,
Walter Johnson, and Warren
Spahn are three of this il-
lustrious group
I had the fortune to see the
tall righthander when he
came up to the majors. Kaat
started his big league career
in 1959 with the Washington
Senators who moved to Min
nesota in 1961. I spent many
a summer day watching the
mound duo of Kaat and
Camilio Pascual work for
the Twins who were much
better noted for their hitting
than pitching.
Pascual had one of the best
curve balls ever in the ma-
jors and Kaat had a decep-
tively quick fastball Kaat
had such an easy motion that
the ball jumped at the hit-
ters. Kaat pitched 14 seasons
for Minnesota and won 193
games. My last memory of
him was in 1967 when the
Twins and Boston Red Sox
were tied for the American
League pennant going into
the last game of the season
against each other at Fen-
way Park
Kaat was scheduled to
pitch the final game which
would have given the Twins
the pennant had they won
But he suffered an injury in
the first inning, had to leave
the game, and the Red Sox
won the game and their "Im
possible Dream” pennant.
He was sold to the Chicago
White Sox in 1973 and won 41
games in two seasons for
manager Chuck Tanner
Kaat went to the Phillies and
Yankees before the Cards
purchased his contract last
year
Kaat has been a remark-
able athlete. He owns
several Gold Gloves for be
ing the best defensive pit
cher in his league and has
been a very good hitter as
well At age 42 last season
with St Louis, he batted .375
and added to his career
totals of 16 homeruns and 106
RBls He also was 6-6 with a
3.40 earned run average.
When Kaat pitched his
first game for the old
Senators (not the Texas
Senators), four of his current
teammates with the Card-
inals weren’t even born yet.
TWO HIGHLY rated col
lege basketball teams were
ousted Thursday evening
from the NCAA basketball
tournament
Third-ranked Virginia and
7-4 center Ralph Sampson
were upset by the upstart
University of Alabama-
Birmingham 68-66 and the
seventh-ranked University
of Minnesota was knocked
off by Louisville 67 61
UAB is in only its fourth
year of its basketball pro-
gram under coach Gene Bar-
tow and his seniors have
paid off for the ex-UCLA
mentor
Earlier in the week,
DePaul suffered another
‘jinx’’ loss in the opening
round of the NCAA playoffs
as the second-rated Blue
Demons dropped an 82-75
game to the surprising
Eagles of Boston College
1982 was the third straight
season that the Chicago
school Entered the tourna-
ment with just one loss. In
1980, the Demons were
upended by UCLA 77-71 in
their first game and last
year St Joseph’s of
Philadelphia used a last
second shot to shock DePaul
49-48 in the opening round
Two Innings
Cory Danneman pitched the last two innings against Kver-
man March 16 and gave up three earned runs on four hits.
But he struck out three Everman batters and issued no
walks. The Burleson pitching staff was raked for 17 hits and
20 runs in the game which the Bulldogs won 20-1. Alan Nichols
(11) is in background at short.
Proposals For
Changes Made
AUSTIN—A number of
amendments to the state's
hunting regulations have
been proposed by the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Depart
ment, some subject to ap
proval by local county com-
missioners courts.
Public hearings are being
held in 241 counties under the
Parks and Wildlife Depart
ment’s regulatory authority
during March lo review the
proposed changes and
receive public comment

Hunter are advised lo
check regulations in Ihe
county to be hunted by oh
laining the department's
1982-83 Guide to Hunting
Regulations brochure, w hich
will be available in early fall
from hunting license outlets
and department offices prior
to opening of the hunting
seasons
The following is a brief
summation of some of the
more significant recommen
dations:
Antlerless deer permits
no longer would be attached
to a foreleg of the animal
The regulation requires only
that the permit be attached
to the carcass
— In counties offering the
either-sex deer hunting
season, the department
would issue special
antlerless deer tags to Ian
downers on an unlimited
basis The antlerless deer
tags differ from antlerless
deer permits now required in
most counties, as the tags
could be issued on an
unlimited basis to land
owners while permits are
issued on a compartment
and acreage basis
Deer hunting regula
tions would be standardized
in Dimmit, Harrison. Kin
ney, Medina, Robertson.
Uvalde and Zavala Counties
They would have the stan
dard 51-day deer season
ending Jan. 2, 1983, with the
standard bag limit of three
deer, no more than two
bucks
