ty Baseball action as they came up losers twice last week Margate pounded out 17 hits en route to a 20 to 8 thrashing. Joe Chinnis had four hits and two RBIs for the losers In a later contest, Galloway downed Cape May 6-5. Randy Sturm took the loss on the mound. Jeff Wunder doubled to tie the game in the seventh before Galloway scored the game-winner in the last inning. ANOTHER THING you can do in the summer sun is hit the little white ball Here's how it is done. Put together the 150-yard seventh hoe at the Wildwood Golf and Country Club, along with a seven iron and John Corino and you come up with an ace. The Cape May resident recorded his hole-in-one while playing with Robert Johnson, Wally Shoczlek and Robert Keating Jr THE NATION'S oldest professional summer league debuted in Atlantic City last week as Ceasars downed Vic Snyder of Philadelphia 138-125. The only reason I mention the Baker League here is because it is the very best basketball for this time of the year Over the years. Wilt Chamberlain. Earl Monroe, Darryl Dawkins and Billy Cunningham have played in this league It's great hoop action if you Basketball Junkies need a fix during the summer sun shine days. TRIVIA TIME. Who was the only Major League pit cher to hit a home run during his first big-league at bat and never hit another in his 21 year careerAnswer later LET'S GET BACK to the summer sun and basket ball The nice weather hr ings hundreds of locals out for pick-up games on local courts. Now this is fine if one is also a fine ice skater The reason I say this is because of the condition of area basketball courts. The sand collects on the surface and makes it near impossible to play hard The Recreation Departments must clean up the courts before someone, and I hope it's not me. gets seriously hurt MOVING FROM the summer sun to fall's crisp weather for just a minute, Atlantic City will be the site of the Prestige Classic Pro/Am Bike race Sept. 24-25. This race was held in Wildwood last year and, by not supporting the major event, that city lost the honor of having it I^ack of police and medical protection cost Wildwood not only the race but the profits to local businesses. With a minimum purse of $50,000, the race will surely attract a great number of racers. Hind sight, in this case, is quite valuable. MARKERS: Time for some summer fun. Sixer coach Billy Cunningham will return as head man for three more years. Anyone dbubt* it for a minute 9 Billy will finally

be recognized as a great mentor when the Philly team repeats next year. The N.B.A. made a money-making move last week. They added four teams to the crowded playoff picture. I guess they have to catch up with hockey. Speaking of hockey, they outlawed the long pants the Flyers wore the past few years. Gee. I thought they were kind of sporty. U.S. Open golf. You have to be lucky to win at Oakmont Just ask Larry Nelson about his 65 foot birdie putt on number 16. TRIVIA ANSWER: Hoyt Wilhelm socked a homer in his first at-bat April 23. 1952, then came up empty in the HR column in his next 431 appearances. REMARKS: Summertime Time for baseball and the big event during the season is the allstar game. This year it will be played in Chicago’s Comiskey field next Wednesday The fans par ticipate in this popularity contest and most time the best player is not starting Well here are my starting line-ups: NATIONAL LEAGUE: 1ST BASE - Darrell Evans, San Francisco Giants 2ND BASE - Bob Bonilla, San Diego Padres SHORT STOP - Dickie Thon, Houston Astros 3RD BASE - Pedro Guerrero. L A Dodgers CATCHER - Gary Carter. Montreal Expos OUTFIELD - Willie McGee, St Louis Cardinals OUTFIELD - Andre Dawson, Expos OUTFIELD - Dale Mur phy, Atlanta Braves AMERICAN LEAGUE 1ST BASE — Rod Carew. t California Angels 2ND BASE — Davey Lopes. Oakland A’s SHORT STOP - Robin Yount. Milwaukee Brewers 3RD BASE — George Brett, K.C. Royals CATCHER - Ted Simmons, Brewers OUTFIELD - Ken Grif fey, N Y, Yankees OUTFIELD - Hal McRae, Royals (really a designated hitter) OUTFIELD - Kent Herbek, Minnesota Twins Now, compare this team to the one that you would pick and check it against the prom winners that take the field next week Bui most importantly, enjoy the game on, hopefully, a nice summer night
