"There is a big difference between the two," he notes. "The pros are more active and the gloves are smaller, and, of course, they hit harder. "But there are some things that I had already learned as an amateur. I learned two or three years ago not to go for the knockout. 1 just keep throwing punches and the knockouts will come." Ever critical of his performances,, Kennedy is quick to point out his weaknesses. "1 need to work on my defense," he says. "A guy who wades in looking to land the knockout punch doesn't last long in boxing. You only have one brain, one set of eyes and so on. So a good Pond Giants, Indian From Page B2 says ~ if he is asked. "I've been asking them to play me for the past thre< years and they have booked around me," he says. " don't have any hard feelings against them but we are th< state champs now and we played in the national tournej last year. So, if they want to play, they will have to ash us." "If we are asked to play." Wilkins adds, "we will play We will make an open date if we have to." The idea of the two local teams playing makes as much sense as the mergers of the NBA and ABA or the NFL and AFL.. Both Petree and Wilkins say they are looking for community support to keep semi-pro baseball alive ir the city. And both constantly complain about poor tur nouts at their games.

While he is aware of the dangers of the sport, Kennedy says, he loves it nevertheless. "Boxing is a beautiful sport when it is done right," he says, "but I'm not naive enough to forget that pro boxing is a business." Kennedy also knows what he wants out of this "business sport." "I want security," he says, his face turning ringserious. "I want to be able to take care of my mother and my little daughter and I want people to look at me and say he did it because he was willing to work hard and he _ didn't give in." "Then," he adds with a smile, "I want to come back home, take some other kids like me off the street and give them a chance to work hard and better themselves." x is considering game largest crowd of the season for both teams. ? "A weekend series with a game on Saturday and I another on Sunday would probably draw at least 500 j fans, if we publicize it right," says Petree. / That's probably true. And such a game could also br: ing out a few of the fans who have turned away from semi-pro baseball in favor of softball over the past few years. I, for one, would love to see the contest. Last season, t after a long debate, the two teams decided to play each . other on July 24, but Mother Nature interfered.
