ONLY NINE INNINGS AWAY
It must have been a sigh of relief to Playing
-COaeli Tom Rewlings, of the Zurich Lumber Kings,
'on Saturday Afternoon when he watched the Latta
•:Baseball Club perform against his. local club. 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. The typewriter is yours fellows!
