to stress fundamentals
COMMERCE - To become a
sound basketball player a
person must have good fun-
damentals, and fundamentals
are the highlight of the First
,Annual East Texas State
University Basketball School
June 9-July 5. <j
. “It takes hours of instruction
to master the basic fun-
damentals which are the
foundaditon of the game," lion
head coach and school director
Jim Gudger stated. “At the
ETSU Basketball School we will
have the opportunity to
rehearse these important
techniques daily.”
Shooting, ball handling,
rebounding, dribbling and in-
dividual defense will be some of
the basic instruction. Physical
development and the value of
team play will also receive
special attention.
The school is divided into four
sessions, two for the boys and
two for the girls. June 9-14 and
June 16-25 are the boys’ sessions
with June 23-28 and June 30-July
5 for the girls. Times for the
school are 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Monday-Friday and 8 a.m. to 1
p.m. Saturday.

Twin trade satisfying;
Landreaux on streak
By SCOTT PAPILLON
AP Sports Writer
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (AP)
— When the Minnesota Twins
dealt Rod Carew to California
two years ago, they hoped they
were trading one bonafide
,superstar for a potential one —
Ken Landreaux.
1"•
, Landreaux hit .305 last season
with 15 home runs and 83 runs
batted in, but the fruits of the
trade are now becoming more
satisfying to the Twins as
'Landreaux continues his
assault on American league
pitchers.
Landreaux singled twice
Thursday in the Twins’ 5-2
victory over Chicago, extending
I)is hitting streak to 30 game
and becoming one of only 27
players in major league history
|o- hit safely in 30 or more
Consecutive games.
% “I’ve always known how to
fcit; I’ve been doing it all my
fife,” said the confident Lan-
dreaux, who started the streak
April 23 when he broke up Bruce
Kison’s no-hit bid in the bottom
of the ninth inning.
The last player with such a
streak was Pete Rose, who tied
the National League recfod by
hitting in 44 straight in 1978. But
the 25-year-old Landreaux, in
just his second year as a full-
time player, says he isn’t
concerned about catching Rose
or record-holder Joe DiMaggio,
whose 56-game string in 1941
seems all but unreachable in
modem baseball.
“I won’t even start thinking
about those guys until I’m one
game away from them," said
landreaux, who leads the A.L.
with a .360 batting average. “I
just go out there and play
baseball because that’s what
I’m paid to do. I want to satisfy
myself. If I do that, I’m sure
everyone else will be satisfied."
Twins’ Manager Gene Mauch
is more than satisfied with his
speedy left fielder. Landreaux,
who also leads the league with

Another member of the Little
League undefeated bit the dust
Thursday night while Johnson
Ice Cream, aided by a grand
slam home run in the fourth,
and Swatseil’s managed to
remain unbeaten in Pony and
Senior League action.
The Lions struck the heavier
blow early in their battle with
Co-Op, scoring three in the first,
two in the second and five in the
third and held off a late charge
to hand Co-Op their first little
League loss, 10-7.
lion pitchers Brian Caldwell
and Scott Harris gave up seven
hits as did Co-Op’s^ Marc
Magahee and Jeff Sims but the
early deficit was too much for
Co-Op to overcome.
In Pony League action
Johnson Ice Cream’s Mike
Smith took charge, from the
mound and then aided his own
cause with a sixth inning grand
slam homer to lead his team to
a 9-8 win over Lakeside
Apartments and extend
Johnson’s record to 5-0 for the
year. Johnson’s Steve Cherry
also blasted one double and
added a homer of his own.
Elsewhere around the loop
VFW defeated Kiwanis 13-5 in
Little League play, KSST
turned back Dairy Queen 8-3 in
Pony League, Swatseil’s edged
Carothers 5-4 to remain un-
beaten in Senior League action
and Como Post 651 whipped

■ '!He knows his stuff," says
Mauch, who has watched hit-
ters for the last 20 years while
managing In both the American
and National Leagues.
"He knows where the head of
the bat is and hits every ball
right there,” Mauch explained,
holding his fingers six inches
apart. “He never hits them on
the handle. All great hitters
have that in common.”
"What can you say? He’s
doing everything right,”
commented I^mar Johnson of
the White Sox. “He's hitting
what he wants to hit, not what
the pitchers want him to hit."
“I’m using the same stroke I
used last year," said Lan-
dreaux. “Short and quick. I’m
just not trying to do too much
with the bat; I’m not over-
swinging.”
Just sweet-swinging, like Rod
Carew did for so many years at
Metropolitan Stadium.
Summer weight
room to open
The Sulphur Springs
Wildcat Athletic Depart-
ment and the City of Sulphur
Springs are joining forces
and efforts this summer to
provide a weight-training
room, open to the public, at
the former agriculture
building behind the Middle
School.
Middle School coach,
Travis Vaughn, will be in
charge of the facility and
will also be available to
advise and direct the novice
or even the advanced weight
lifters.
Vaughn is being paid
minimum wage by the city to
operate the facility from 1
p.m. until 9 p.m. Monday
through Friday throughout
the summer and the building
will be open for the first day
Monday, June 2.
"1 have had extensive
weight training and am also
a qualified, certified health
instructor," Vaughn said,
“and 1 will keep a very
accurate card file on each
person who signs up to use
the training facility. I will
also take each person
through the first day or two
of lifting in order to measure
their capabilities and
qualifications and recom-
mend a program for them
based on these
qualifications,” he said.
All the Wildcat weight
lifting equipment, including
the muscle toning equip-
ment, has been moved from
the Civic Center to the
Middle School and is now
ready for public use.
“We feel the hours of
operation should ac-
comodate just about anyone
who wants to use the weights
and at the same time we also
feel this will provide a
service to the public, adult or
student-age level, which has
not been provided before in
this manner,” Vaughn said.

...quiet approach best
Hindsight applauds Kuhn
An AP Sports Analysis
By HAL BOCK .
AP Sports Writer
There’has been considerable
conjecture and some criticism,
as well, of Commissioner Bowie
Kuhn’s role in the recent
baseball contract negotiations.
Kuhn’s first public ap-
pearance in the talks came at 5
a.m. last Friday when the
settlement between
management and the players
was announced. Some people,
including the keeper of this
corner, wondered out loud
where he had been until then.
The questions came mostly in
the countdown stage of the
negotiations when it seemed
almost certain that a strike
would interrupt the baseball
season. There were calls of
desperation by observers
reaching for any straw, any
hope that peace could be made
between the two sides.
A week later, given the luxury
of time to reflect with no strike
deadline pressure bearing
down, it becomes obvious that
Kuhn couldn’t have done much
more than he did. His view of
the commissioner's role in this
kind of labor showdown makes
very good sense.
“I believe the quiet, internal
approach is the most effective
from where I sit,” Kuhn said
the other day. “I appreciate
that creates questions but I
must follow my own judgment
to work hard but quietly.”
Because he wasn’t born
yesterday, Kuhn realized long
ago that the players and owners
were on something of a collision
course that spelled trouble. The
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP)
— Norm Ellenberger pleaded
innocent in district court to 11
counts of fraud and 11 counts of
making false travel vouchers
while he was head basketball
coach at the University of New
Mexico.
Ellenberger was indicted by a
state grand jury on one count of
fraud in excess of $2,500, 10
counts of fraud in excess of $100
and 11 counts of making false
public vouchers.

Opening Day
About 250 girls turned out lor tlw Hopkins County Girls Softball League Opening Day ceremonies
Thursday night in the city park. League president Charles Cromer reports a field of 17 teems this
year, divided among Pee Wee, Junior and Senior divisions. This year also marks the first use of o
now Mold adjacont to the present girls softball field, thanks to the efforts of Crogier and members
of the Hopkins County Bbys Baseball Association who aided in converting the boys Minor League
field to softball use and at the same Hme building a new field for use by the boys.
* -V'-,
same thing, after all, had
happened in 1976 when
management refused to open
spring training camps, locking
out the players in a demand for
a contract settlement. At that
time, Kuhn ordered the camps
opened, perhaps saving the
season. Why then, didn’t he take
some similiar definitive action
this time?
“I don’t think my role is-
always to be as subtle as I was
this time,” he said. “In 1976, I
disagreed with the Player
Relations Committee’s position
and I overruled it and ordered
the camps to open. This time, in
no way did I disagree with the
committee’s position. I believe
strongly that compensation for
free agents is needed. There
was no collision between myself
and the Player Relations
Committee as there was in
1976.”
Given that circumstance,
Kuhn couldn’t very well play
the impartial middleman role in
these talks. Besides, that job
was capably performed by
Kenneth Moffett of the Federal
Mediation Service. What then
could the commissioner do?
“Well, I view my role as
trying to keep things moving, to
keep minds open and keep the
bargaining going,” Kuhn said.
“It was slow and deliberate,
that’s true. That breeds im-
patience on thte part of everyone
and that’s unfortunate.”
The phones all but rang off
the hook in Kuhn’s office near
the end. Every owner called at
one time or another and a
member of Congress even
checked in, suggesting a way
out of the dilemma.
“But a solution was not in the
cards until late and then, when
the time was right, I felt I could
push harder," the com-
missioner said.
Time for a change!
LOWELL CABLE believes state budget has
grown too big too fast. He will not vote to raise
his own legislative pay and expenses and will
not use a state-paid employee in his election
campaign.
HIS OPPONENT voted to increase his legislative
pay by 50 percent and his expense account by
250 percent! He pays Mr. Charles Hanson more
that $15,000 a year in state funds to handle the
political office in Sulphur Springs.
