Turner wants Woy
on Seventh Avenue
United Press International
ATLANTA — Ted Turner, owner
of the Atlanta Braves, emerged at
least a partial winner from arbitra
tion of Bob Horner’s contract dis
pute but that didn’t stop him from
aiming a bitter verbal attack Tues
day at the slugging infielder’s agent,
Bucky Woy.
“I hope Horner sees that his
agent led him down a primrose path
for an extra $40,000,” said the out
spoken Turner, referring to what
Horner would receive over the
Braves’ base offer because of the ar
bitrator’s Monday ruling.
“Woy made a lot of trouble for a
lot of people, and I hope they think
the extra $40,000, if they get that
much, is worth it,” Turner said.
“Maybe now, Horner will grow up
and be like players like Dale Mur
phy and everything will be fine from
here on.”
The $130,000 he must pay
Horner may rankle Turner, who in
dicated he is still upset over the
death of General Manager Bill
Lucas last month. Lucas, who had
been a key man for the club in the
negotiations, died of a cerebral
hemorrhage.
Turner recalled a statement at
tributed to Woy that if he lost the
negotiations, “I’ll vomit right on
Seventh Avenue,’’ in New York
City.
Turner told reporters Tuesday: “I
want you to call Bucky Woy and ask
him when he’s going to vomit on
Seventh Avenue. I want to be there.
I want you to be there. I want a pho
tographer there. I want everybody
Parks get
boost from
gas prices
Skyrocketing gasoline prices may
actually boost visitation at state
parks this summer, according to
Texas Parks and Wildlife Depart
ment officials.
Parks Division officials reason
that many Texans who usually travel
out of the state may decide to save
fuel by visiting nearby state parks.
“There is a state park within the
range of one tankful of gas for most
people in Texas,” said Robert C.
H auser of park operations and
maintenance.
Effective Jan. 1 this year, all state
parks now are included in the reser
vation system, whereby campsites
may be reserved at least seven and
up to 90 days in advance by mail,
telephone or in person. Another
suggestion is to consider going to
the many attractive smaller parks,
where there is likely to be more
room than in the better known ones.
For information on state parks,
their addresses and telephone num
bers, either write to the headquar
ters of the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department, 4200 Smith School
Rd., Austin, TX 78744 or call toll-
free, 1-800-252-9237.

Turner said he hoped Horner was
“smart enough” to fire Woy but if he
didn’t, Horner would get only the
“bare minimum” salary from the i.
Braves over the next five years. “I’m
not going to deal with Bucky Woy
ever again,” he said.
One of the points won by the
Braves was that Horner could not
become a free agent, thus tying him
to the club for the next five years
under baseball rules.

United Press International
ATLANTA — Bob Horner,
the Atlanta Braves’ 21-year-old
power-hitting infielder, has fat
tened his own pocketbook, but
he may have sounded the death
knell for future major-league
baseball bonuses, starting with
players selected in the current
free agent draft.
Horner lost out on seven of
eight points of contention in a
dispute arbitrated by University
of Kansas law professor Raymond
Goetz — including his hid for
free-agent status. But the one he
won was an unprecedented rul
ing that the $175,000 the Braves
gave him last summer as a bonus
for signing must be counted as
part of his 1978 salary while
computing the minimum he can
be paid in 1979.
That would mean the Braves,
who offered the 1978 National
League Rookie of the Year
$100,000 for this year, should
have to pay him about $146,000.
But Goetz indicated he’ll water
that down a bit, probably to
around $130,000 — which would
still make Horner the highest
paid second-year player in
baseball history.
Two Braves’ officials. General
Manager John Mullen and attor
ney Tench Coxe, predicted
Goetz’s ruling means an end to
major-league signing bonuses.
“Futurely,” said Coxe, who
helped prepare the Braves’ case
for a May 10-11 arbitration hear
ing in New York City, “prospects
will be given minor league con
tracts when they first sign.”
Both sides viewed the decision
as a victory.
“We won seven out of eight
points including the key issue of
free agency,” said Coxe.
“I’m disappointed in a way,”
said Horner. "But we won the
IS
things we attacked on, e
our contention that I ami

money I was paid lastjfl
