By The Assoiatieid TesIa Y.
CHICAGO ''- The Chicago Cubs, the newest conversational
fad of baseball fans, colle-ted 13 hits yesterday to blast the Los
Angeles Dodgers 10-4.
It was the second straight Chicago victory over the Dodgers,
who have played at a mr-tal .500 pace after their amazing 22-4
start.
Chicago's first place record in the NI Fast climbed to 32-18.
The Cubs are actually tied with the Dodgers in the loss column,
but have four fewer victories.
Manny Trillo, the leading hitter in the league, triggered the
Chicago attack with three hits and three RBIs. Dave Rosello added
two hits and three more RBs, as the Cubs scored all their runs
in the first four innings, chasing starter and loser Tommy John. ,
Chicago starter Ray Burris scattered nine Los Angeles hits in
his eight innings of work, and allowed the Dodgers to plate three
men in the seventh. Stev2 Garvey's ninth home run highlighted
the Los Angeles rally.
Paul Reuschel and Bruce Sutter combined to save the victory
for Burris, whose season record rose to 8-5. Burris had aided his
own cause in the fourth when he stroked a two-run single.

Kareern of the crop

the National Basketball Association all-star first team announced
Tuesday by the league.

fessional play.

See you later, Nater
NEW YORK (A) - The Buffalo Braves have acquired center
Swen Nater from the Milnaukee Bucks in return for the Braves'
first-round pick in Friday's National Basketball Association draft,
the Braves said yesterday.
The Braves also received one of the Bucks' three first-round
choices - the.13th pick overall - and future considerations in
the deal.
Milwaukee reportedly will use its newly-acquired draft
choice, the third pick over-all, to tab UCLA All-American
Marques Johnson, a forward. A Bucks spokesman said there
had been no firm commitment to take Johnson but confirmed
that Bucks general manager Wayne Embry and Coach Don
Nelson would travel to £ os Angeles to talk with him.
In the 6-foot-11, 250-pound Nater, who was Bill Walton's back-
up at UCLA before spend'ig three seasons in the American Bas-
ketball Association, the Braves gained a strong rebounder. The
27-year-old Nater was seventh in the league in rebounding last sea-
son with 12 per game and turned in the single best rebounding
performance of the year on Dec. 19 at Milwaukee with 33 grabs.
He averaged 13 points a ;game this season.
Arnie makes Open cut
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Forced to qualify for this tournament
for the first time since 1969, Arnold Palmer said "there was no
sweat" as he did qualify for his 25th consecutive U. S. Open
yesterday.
Grier S. Jones of Wichita, Kan., fired an eight-under-par 135
to lead sectional qualifying as a 129-man field battled for 40 spots
in the Open next week at Tulsa, Okla.
Joe Inman qualified at 138, and George Archer came in at
141 with Palmer and Bruce Devlin one stroke back.
Failing to make the cut were former Masters champion
Charles Coody, former PGA champion Bobby Nichols, and
Lanny Wadidas, who withdrew after a poor round on Monday.
