Solution To
Baseball Strike
The best idea I've heard to counter the proposed baseball strike
comes from writer Edwin Pope. He says the PUBLIC should strike
the PLAYERS. Just refuse to go to the games. By crackety, | believe
Pope's onto something. It may be just the thing to keep those puffed-
up prima donnas from taking their ball and bat and going home
... College presidents have served notice they won't tolerate any
more cheating. Now, when are they gonna ban freshmen from play-
Ing varsity sports? This should have been done years ago.

Billy Packer’s upset. He believes Digger Phelps is wrong in ask-
ing Congress to deny federal aid to colleges that don’t graduate
75 percent of their players. He doesn't think most colleges could
meet this kind of muster. Well, Billy, check Duke and Furman, for
example. Their academic standards rank with anybody's, and they
turn out superb teams. It can be done, if the commitment’s there
... Have you noticed? Pete Rose's on-base percentage is second
in the National League. The man’s marvelous. No doubt about it.
* * * *
INTERESTING STAT: Of the 13 players who've hit more than 500
career homers, only 3 have been infielders. Of the top 5, only Babe
Ruth batted left handed ... Howard Cosell, who knows everything
about everything, is worried about Earl Weaver's health. He wonders
if “Earl's really very happy that he came back to manage’’. Rest
easy, Howard, Earl's happy. He said so ... A friend, a former pit-
cher, admits Atlanta's Terry Forster looks like a pregnant rhino, but
he adores him. | don't wonder. My friend looks just like Forster from
chest to belt-buckle.
Next year, Proposition 48's slated to go into effect. It requires
a 2.0 grade-point average and at least 700 on the S.A.T. Just one
problem with this: About 80 percent of black athletes would be in-
eligible under these standards—based on a study of those in col-
lege between 1977 and 1982. This proposition warrants another look
... Lefty Driesell believes the tougher rules don’t go far enough.
He wants teams who win games with illegally-recruited players to
have to forfeit their games. | agree with Lefty. ’

Arvel Hill, over in neighboring Dallas (N.C., not Texas), is an
addicted Braves fan. He sees at least one game per home stand.
Recently, he called the Atlanta Constitution to place an ad that said,
“Ted Turner: Our Braves need a manager they can win with’’. The
paper rejected the ad. Kinda makes you wonder how much control
‘Ted Turner has in Georgia. Still, | believe Manager Eddie Haas is
‘a'victim of circumstances. Some managers have enough talent to
cover their mistakes. Haas doesn't especially in his pitching staff.

SOMETHING SPECIAL?
By RUBY M. ALEXANDER
Given their choice, most prospects would buy a very ordinary home,
not at all unusual--and they’d be smart to do so, if they faced the
possibility of moving again soon. Fact is, while the $5 million mansion
goes unsold and the ultra-modern structure on stilts lingers on the
market, the ordinary homes please the buyers.
Sometimes a property becomes more salable if the seller MAKES it
Jook ordinary. One suburban family, transferred to a new job, fixed up
their house to sell it. Where rooms needed repainting, they were painted
beige, a favorite color of buyers. Splashy modern wallpaper was replac-
ed with the neatest miniature print. Potted geraniums lined the porch.
The property sold almost immediately.
It takes a professional eye to look over your house and decide what a
buyer would like and what should be fixed up. Your investment in fix-
up, if well-chosen, is usually paid back many times in a faster sale and a
better price. : iz
Call on our knowhow to make your property more salable. List with
Alexander Realty. (Got a SPECIAL house? Don't give up. Ask about
our SPECIAL buyers.)
