Wednesday, March 25, 1970 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Prm <:ev ... rage Seven 'Batsmeu crush Wildcats, 12-4 Linksmen fly to Miami tourney to compete with 85 other teams Special To The Daily TUCSON, Ariz. -Michigan ex- oloded for 12 runs in the first four innings, and Jim Burton scattered eight hits, as the Wol- verines clobbered the Arizona Wildcats 12-4 yesterday. Michigan banged, out 16 hits, 15 of them in the first four frames, against seven ' Arizona pitchers. Burton went the distance for the *Wolverines. f The Wolverines stunned the Wildcats with six hits in the first inning, and Arizona starter Bob Hooten was out of the game al- most befoie he was in it. FIVE HITS, including, a triple by Tom Lundstedt and a bases loaded double by Mike Rafferty, one of two two-baggers he had in the game, aided the Wolverines. as did three Wildcat errors and a passed ball. Hooten committed two of the errors to add to his misery. The Michigan attack rested in the second, but came back to life in the third with three runs on five hits. The Wildcats committed two more fielding miscues. After beating out a hit to the pitcher, Mike Bowen was thrown, out at the plate on Rafferty's sec- ond double of the day. Rafferty scored on Reggie Ball's single to second center, and singles by Mark Carrow and Dan Fife drove in the other two runs. THE FOURTH INNING saw three more Wolverine runs, five more Wolverine hits, but, strange-, ly, no Wildcat errors. Tom Kettinger's single, Bob Ma- koski's double to left, and singles by Bowen and Rafferty, along with Ball's infield out, accounted for the runs. Arizona first scored in the sixth daily sports NIGHT EDITOR.: JERRY CLAtKE on a two run homer by Ed Benson, the lone round-tripper of the game. Burton, who was a little wild with seven walks, allowed Ari- zona's other two runs in the ninth. Three bases on balls, and a wild pitch scored Manny Driscoll, and a passed ball by Lundstedt let in Roy Gump with the Wildcats' final tally. Aiding the Wolverine attack yes- terday was speed, as Carrow, Raf-, ferty and Bowen beat out infield hits, and Carrow stole a base. The biggest 'of the big Wolverine bats belonged to Rafferty. A left- handed hitter, Rafferty sprayed hits around the field, with a double to left-center, a double to right and an infield hit to t h e second baseman. BURTON, the ace of Michigan's staff, struck out 10, while walk- ing seven, and allowed t h r e e earned runs in bringing his won- lost record to 1-1. The victory was the Wolverine's; first in five starts. It snapped the Arizona winning streak at five and brought the Wildcat -record down to 16-5. The two teams go at it herea again today.

Keith Mohan was medalist for the team with a 73. The Wol- verines other four competitors shot 74, 74, 75, and 75 which prompted Newcomb to comment, "Our scores are real good and, if Gr t we keep this up we could possibly win the tojirnament."

MVP TO DEEKS Gamsby new captain THING uced n Price )oks from 5c up! -Pilots given ok to sell SEATTLE () -Federal bank- ruptcy referee Sidney Volinn will sign an order today lifting all re- straints to sell the sell the Seattle Pilots to a Milwaukee group so he 'can decide on the merits of. that sale at a hearing March 30, spe- cial Washington Asst. Atty. Gen William Dwyer said yesterday. Dwyer's explanation came after Volinn continued the case of the financially - troubled Pilots until today at 10 a.m. Volinn said during a hearing marked by passionate statements by botl sdes that his primary concern .was with the Pilots or- ganization, which had, put itself in his hands under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Act. He said it was "'incumbent on this court to keep open for con- sideration the offer of the Mil- waukee group, which comes before us March 30." Volinn said that while various arguments were put forth to keep the club in Seattle, nobody had come forward with a plan to save it financially. The Milwaukee group, mean- while, already has entered into an agreement to buy the club f o r $10.8 million. The deal would be closeable on April 30 and would offer means for Pacific Northwest Sports, Inc., owner-of the Pilots to pay its cre- ditors. , "Every way we turn around," Volinn said, "we have an assured $10.8 million offer from Milwau- kee. If we don't take that, we have nothing." Volinn stressed that he was not saying he would approve sale of the club to Milwaukee. He said his primary responsibility in this case was to Pacific Northwest Sports, and that he had to be free of other court entanglements to decide what would be best for the Pilots and the creditors. Alfred Schweppe, the Seattle lawyer whose injunctions and re- tainers stopped the American League from approving sale of the franchise, said about the situation: ' "The solution is to make the American League honest." - He said the league should be made to fulfill its commitments concerning financing the team during the 1970 season. Dwyer said Volinn's action would not affect the various dam- age suits against the American League and the Pilots. Those suits total more than $82' million,. He did concede, however, that the Pilots apparently were Milwaukee- bound unless someone came for-. ward with at least as good an offer before a move. That seemed highly unlikely. Earlier, the secretary-treasurer of the Pilots testified that the club is losing $12,500 a day and is in a "catastrophic" financial situ- ation. Max Soriano, who owns nearly one-third of the stock in the year- old American League team, told Volinn, "It has been apparent for several months we would be unable to operate without the infusion of new monies." He said that at a conservative estimate it would require $4.3 mil- lion to carry the Pilots through next Feb. 28, taking into account a projected cash loss of $1.55 mil- lion for the 1970 season. Soriano was the first witness as the legal battle over the Pilots shifted to federal court. Many of the figures he cited had been brought out earlier in the day in King County Superior Court by the club's controller. The hearing before Volinn re- quired 'Washington state and Seattle to show cause why they should not be enjoined from inter- fering with the sale of the Pilots to Milwaukee at the agreed price of $10.8 million. It was scheduled after Pacific Northwest Sports Inc., owner of' the Pilots, filed a petition in V.S. District Court last week asking it to order the sale under provisions of the Bankruptcy Act. 'Volinn was assigned to hear the matter Soriano said the corporation now has $91,000 in the bank, has a normal overhead of $250,000 a month, but ,the overhead at this time is $350,000 a month because of spring training. The Dekers Organization held their annual dinner at the' Town Club last night honoring the 1969- 70 edition of the Wolverine hockey team. Awards were given while Paul Gamsby, a junior from Sudbury, Ontario, was named Michigan captain for the 1970-71 season. Gamsby, a chippy player but a team leader will take on just about anybody. Gamsby finished the league scoring race with nine goals and 16 assists. Gamsby also had 20 penalties serving 46 min- utes. THE DEKERS Organization also chose Bernie Gagnon as the most Colorful Rookie. Gagnon led the team in scoring as a sophomore and is already a top pro prospect. In the NHL draft St. Louis took Gagnon as their number two pick and it looks like Gagnon may join former Wolverine hockey star Red Berenson with the- Blues when he graduates. The Most Valuable Player, chosen by the players, was award- ed to graduating senior Don Deeks. Deeks who has always played well at center, came on in scoring this year with 11 goals and 15 assists. THE MOST Improved Player, chosen by Coach Al Renfrew, was given to Jerry Lefebvre, a ,soph- omore from North Bay, Ontario. Lefebvre moved into the regular lineup when Punch Cartier was handed a one-game suspension during one of his frequent fisti- cuffs.
