EQBBY WEIN IN S1,1CK .NORTHERN SHQWINGI
it's always good to hear from players .or fans
that have been in some way connected with sports
activities in this district after they have moved away.
in this case, a newspaper article appearing in the
.Sudbury Daily Star in late June should jog a few
minds in this district as it refers to Bobby Weill of
Dashwood who is now pitching for the Copper Cliff
edinen in the Northern Ontario Nickel Belt Base-
ball League. The article is written by Paul Patton,
.who is covering the sports beat up that way for the
Star.
"Apparently there was nothing wrong with
the pitching in the Nickel Belt league that a little
warm weather couldn't cure. The hurlers for the
most part have been absorbing their lumps with the
cold weather cutting down their effectiveness. But
last night it was really fine baseball weather and
some of the moundsmen began strutting their stuff.
"Perhaps the most spectacular showing was
turned in by Bob Wein, a lanky righthander who has
seen only limited duty in the Nickel Belt league the
past few seasons.
"A year ago, Wein saw action in only three
games. He relieved in the seasc.n's opener against
Creighton and lost the game in extra innings. He
relieved against Garson three weeks later with no
decision, and against Frood Tigers three weeks after
that without winning or losing. In the playoffs, he
saw action mostly as an outfielder.
"But last night, making his first appearance'
of the year, he really had his stuff. He was throwing
his fast ball past the hitters, his curve ball was break-
ing across the plate, and he was consistently ahead.
of the batters. So much so, in fact, that he didn't
walk a nian."
STRATEGY CALLED 'FOR A RITCHOUTI
"For a while it looked as if he might be
pitching a no-hitter. too. He held the usually hard-
hitting Red Sox without a safety until two were out
in the sixth. On top of that, he had a count of two
strikes and no balls on Conston second baseman
Billy Core.
"Baseball strategy at that stage would call
for a pitchout, hoping to get an over -eager batter
swinging at a bad ball. Wein's third pitch wasn't
in the strike zone, but Core took a liking to it, and
drilled into centre for a clean hit. And that was that.
The only other hits Conston got were a single by.
Clarence Fox -that skipped by Mauno Taus in the
.seventh, and a double that Laurie Bazinet dropped
into left field in the eighth.
"Only two runners reached second base all
night off Wein, Ron Zanutto Peached first on an
error leading off the third and was sacrificed to
second; and Bazinet got there with his double.
"For the most part, Wein got some slick field-
ing behind hint, something which is guaranteed to
help the pitching too."
Incidentally, in the game the Sudbury . sports
writer was commenting on, Wein pitched Copper Cliff
Red Men to a 6.0 victory. Robert also helped his
own cause by belting a triple in the fifth which lett
to one of the six runs collected by the Red Men.
The story on Bobby Wein is of in.erest to this
corner 111 more ways than one. First of all, it's good
to hear how some of the local products are making
out on their own, and secondly, we were born in
Gatchell, which is situated between Sudbury and
Copper Cliff, so we know the place \veli.
CUFF CLEANERS—Mr, and Mrs. Bert Ostland and
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Lindsay had, a field day in the
fishing world this past week. We hear the foursome
was up New Liskeard way for about a week and
caught around the 100 mark in pickerel. The 450 -
mile fishing trip wasn't at all hopeless, as they also
caught several whitefish . , . Although "Casey" Sten-
gel never won any major league batting honors, he
finished with a lifetime batting average of .284. The
01' Professor needn't take a back seat to his Yankee
sluggers either in World Series play as he holds a
.893 mark for three classics ...July 29 will mark
another meeting for the Ladies Twilight Golf Club
at Sanders Driving Range in Grand Bend. From all
accounts the Ladies Twilight club is rolling with
several ladies all ready swinging the clubs .. , The
Detroit Tigers had better give Bill Norman away
and bring back their ex -manager Jack Tighe! . . Illi
the last two ball genies, the Yankees have scored
Something like 2
S runs against them enright at Briggs
Stadium and have fattened their batting averages
considerably. These figures include this past Tuesday
•night's contest or should we say runaway? . . . The
local minor baseball picture is a little on the grim
side with the Exeter pee wees already sidelined from
the playoffs , .. But one of the brightest spots in
life is taking place next week. Holiday time is here
again. We hope the alio shines all seven days that
