We had two or three others per form for us. Nancy had a big home run for us. Baylor had two of the better pitchers in the league and we were able to hit them. I think we are heading in the right direc tion now,” he said. The Aggies head to Shawnee, Oklahoma for regional competi tion next weekend where they are seeded number one in the 10- team playoff tournament. “It’s a tough regional. Every game means a lot more for us now,” Galloway said. v l" ’ The Texas A&M men’s golf team came home from the South ern Invitational Golf Tournament in Athens, Ga. with a ninth-place finish.

Danny (Briggs) fought hard to keep us in it. He birdied 8 and parred 9 but it was not enough.” AGGIE CLEANERS 111 College Main 846-4116 ■ i u i nn»» i» mn UNIFORM STORAGE WANTED!

United Press International LOS ANGELES — T6nnis legend Billie Jean King has admitted having a homosexual affair with a woman several years ago, but she called it a “mis take” and denied ever having promised the woman financial support. The surprising announcement came Friday in an emotional news conference called by King to answer allegations made in a lawsuit last week by Marylin Barnett. Barnett, 33, claimed she and the tennis player became romantically involved in 1972 and lived together in Malibu, Calif., and New York. The Superior Court suit claims King promised to give Barnett the Malibu home and financial support in return for her services as secretary, cook, cleaning lady, confidante and companion. At the news conference. King was joined by her husband of 19 years, Larry, and her attorney, Dennis Wasser. She refused to disclose details of her homosexual relationship with Barnett. King, occasionally resting her head on her hus band’s shoulder and appearing on the verge of tears. spoke of the situation. “Against the advice of my attorney, I have this news conference, ” she said. “I felt very strong about this. I’ve always been above board withii; press and I will talk now as I have always talked, my heart “I did have an affair with Marilyn, butitwasove quite some time ago. I’m very disturbed andshodtf Marilyn would do this in such a selfish way.” She and Wasser both emphatically deniedchatp she had ever offered Barnett a home or financt support. TTie attorney said said he and the Kings wereinth process of getting an eviction notice to remove Mb Barnett from the premises. King’s husband, also named in the suit, < the news conference, calling it “a difficult timefo Billie Jean, her family and friends. “I have loved her dearly for 19 years,” he added “and nothing will change that.” Billie Jean said, “I’ve known for quite a wlilt Marilyn was unstable. I made a mistake and Is assume all responsibility for it from the fans. Putnam s homer lifts Rangers over Royals, 9-ti United Press International ARLINGTON — The Texas Rangers’ Pat Putnam has faced Kansas City pitcher Juan Bere- nguer on two occasions and both times he liked what he saw. Putnam banged a 330-foot home run off Berenguer to lead off the 10th inning Sunday night, giv ing the Rangers a 9-8 victory over Kansas City. The smash capped a frantic Texas rally that saw the Rangers score six runs in the final four in nings. “I wasn’t trying for the home run. I was just trying to get a hit,” said Putnam, who drilled a 3-2 pitch that struck the right field foul pole and bounced fair. Putnam said he faced Bere nguer, now 2-2, one other time, hitting a home run during spring training. “That time it was an off speed pitch. No pitcher likes trying the same thing twice,” Putnam said. Texas scored twice in the first when John Grubb, who has 15 RBI in his last 11 games, singled in two runs, and made it 3-0 in the second on Bump Wills’ sacrifice fly. Starter Ferguson Jenkins held the Royals to four hits through five scoreless innings, but was shelled for five straight hits and four runs before an out was made in the sixth. Sparking the Royals to a 7-3 lead, Hal McRae and Willie Aikens had RBI singles and Amos Otis a two-run double. Fra White squeezed in a run an Cesar Geronimo hit a twons homer to make it 7-3. “I went with him (Jenkins) it was 5-3, but I didn’t knowtfe next guy up would hit a tww homer,” said Texas managerDoi Zimmer. Jenkins was relievedk Dave Schmidt and John Hein Johnson, who combined to the Royals to one run and sub in four and two-thirds innings Johnson, 1-1, got the victory. Texas’ A1 Oliver cut the deli to 8-5 with a two-run singli seventh and Bump Wills tiedilis the eighth when he singled to# Putnam, capping a three-run si burst. Astros beat Pirates, 3-1 United Press International PITTSBURGH — Pirates hur- ler Jim Bibby Sunday confirmed an old baseball adage: walk a pitcher, it means a run. However, Bibby added a new chapter: walk a pitcher twice, it means the game. Don Sutton, the Houston Astros right-hander who was issued a base on balls three times in all, figured in his team’s first two runs in the 3-1 win Sunday over Pittsburgh. Bibby, 1-1, handed Sutton a free pass and an RBI in the second inning.
