If he thought as his corner did, he must have wondered how .the,evorld a team like Latta ever made it to the Ontarle However, I ghess one 'can't judge a club on one performance. Last year's series with Waisingham reminds us of that. Zurich had tile 'Walsingham nine down 3-1 in game,s, and they bounced back off the carpet to take the next three gams in a row and win the Ontario title. If we remember correctly, we didn't have much faith in that crew either. Getting back to the Latta club, they Must have bad something to oust Orono. last yees champs. The Second game in that series was the big one as Latta pushed four runs across the plate in the ninth to win 7-6. However. we can't recall thus season when the Zurich Luniber Kings looked so poor at the plate. The Kings certainly didn't play the brand of ball they are capable of. Many things possibly led to their Saturday performance. A couple of factors may be that they are playing so few ball games. and the interest by some of the players starts to sag a little at this time of year. Zurich only colleeted three hits in five innings against Latta pitching which is wen below par for this usually hard-hitting club. Despite this disastrous slump at the plate, the local regime pulled out a sweet 7.1 victory. As the Latta players crawled out.a their dugout after the game, we heard a few of them wonder what they could do to stop the Lumber Kaigs. Brothel'. we thought to ourselves, if they couldn't stop the Zurich entry in this try, they'll never stop them! In our estimation, if the Lumber Kings ever get their timing back at the plate and show some of that real power that carried them through the Huron. Perth and the playoff, the Latta gang will wish they hadn't seen or heard of them. • Latta seems to be a club that one shouldn't take too Lightly. But if the Zurich nine arrives in Latta with one thing on their mind -- baseball — they should bring home the champagne and all that goes with it. Best of luck, fellows! HANG IN THAR, CASEY! Many people have told us the world series will be over by the time this goes to press Wednesday .night. We wish we could agree with these enthusiasts but we're not giving up on the Doodle Dandies yet! We got quite a kick out of .Casey Stengel's quips in one of the dailies thiS week—"Ain't Hitting!" Ain't Pitch'n'l Ain't Desperate!" This is how he described the Yankees' situation in this year's baseball classic. Of Course, Case wasn't worried, His team was only down 3-1 in games with the fifth game about to start, Manager Fred Haney was grinning frOm ear to ear, as ib Yankee killer, Lew Burdette. was toeing the rubber for what undoubtedly would be the clincher. Casey was grim. He was gambling with Bob Turley, although Turley didn't last an inning- in. the Indian Wigwam. Two hours 'and 19 minutes later, Casey is grinning from ear to ear! Burdette is in the showers, and Haney is griml After all it wasn't the first six runs that hurt them, it was that lucky seventh. We, only managed to cat& the first nine innings Of Turley's five -hit' shutout, but we got particular delight in watching the Braves at the plate trying to break the sound barrier 'with their bats. After Bullet Bob's fine mound performance, the teams now move back into the Milwaukee camp for the next TWO games (we hope!). It has to go two more. After all, all Haney*s got to throw at the Yankee club 'is Warren Spahn in the sixth game! Seriously though, with that performance Monday, the Yanks looked like the New Yorker e of old and it may be just the lift they need to carry them through, So, Mr. and. Mrs. Public, please don't be sUrprised! (This certainly would be rough if the series did end Wednesday and this ' edition hits the. news. stand Thursday, woeldn't it, Wolfe?) HOW THE CLUBS PM FINISH Several of the ardent baseball followers around the community asked us to print their chokes on how the American and National League teems would finish tip at the end of the season. We haven't room to show thein all, but we thought we'd publish the closest pre- dictions to the correct finish. The big surprise in the National wasn't so much the Braves in first, but the way the Bucs front Pittsburg moved into second. Only a year ago, they finished last. Ernie Chipchase came the closest when he moved the Bucos into• third be. hind L.A. Jerry Smith, Jim Fairbairn, Bill Musser and George Mitchell picked the .correct clubs for world series action.
