In aSunday exhibition game for Bay Hathaway's Columbus, Ga., club, a kid named Corky Glamp hit three home runs. Shepard immediately brought him up for a closer look ' on Monday. Of the current Bees, most of the run potential is up in SamMiley,- Paul Pettit,- - Carlos Bernier and possibly Howie Goss. It's not an imposing array of sluggers. Miley had the good average last year. but his production wasn't outstanding. He drove in only 62 runs with all of his 130 hits. Pettit played in only 32 games for the Bees last year, and he wasn't much better. Bernier hit, hit 15 homers and drove in 861that's rood production.
