Talk SPIRTS By DON ".BOOM BOOM" GRAVETT Sports Editor THE WINDY CITY BOYS ARE 1NI The `(`Ge -Go" boys from the windy city of • Chicago, after 40 solid years of sweat ;and toil, have. finally blade the grade. As .everyone knows by now, Chicago White Sox will carry 'the American League baseball colours on the World Series gravy train. The Sox have performed one miracle. Can they per- form another? The first miracle is certainly amazing to us and possibly to many other ball clubs throughout America. The White Sox .did, it the hard way, and we mean the hard way! Manager Al Lopez directed his crew to the top with; only one man hitting over the .300 clip. This amiable gent carries the name of Nellie Fox, who covers :'a lot of second base for the American club. Chicago has only one man who has been able to collect 20 wins for them this year. He is a Cleveland castoff by the name of Early Wynn. We're told that a world series representative or league champion is supposed to have hitting power behind them to carry a large percentage of the load. How about Chicago? Finding their plate power is like looking for a needle in a hay stack. The White Sox haven't one man on their roster who has batted in .100 runs or has connected for 30 home runs! In contrast to pennant winning Chicagonians, Washing- ton Senators, who finished 30 games back of the Sox, had three big names in Harmon Killebrew, Jim Le- mon and Bob Allison who have murdered the ball all season. Between the three of them, they slam- med over 100 home runs and two of the three have runs batted in totalling more than 100 each. It really doesn't make sense, does. it? However, the White Sox, who must count on every man for 100 percent' production, are faced with the inevitable task of clumping either Milwaukee or Los Angeles for the major share of World Series loot. Can they do it? Well, the majority of baseball fans throughout this district, seem to have their hearts on a National League triumph. To this corner, after performing one miracle in copping the American League crown, we have a strong hunch Chicago may go right ahead and explode miracle number two on the laps of the world series viewers! IT'S A ROUGH GRIND IN THE MAJORS Being a major league ball player isn't exactly the rosy picture imagined by all young fry who thrive on the gam& throughout the summer. It must be a sincere menace to players who are nearing the end of the trail to wonder where their next paycheck is corning from. From all report speculation for 1980 has already arrived. Cleveland will have Minnie Min- oso, a long time favourite, on the hook. Detroit Tigers are desperate for a first baseman and if they can't get Dale Long from the Cubs, they'll bid for Roy Sievers of the Nats. Several clubs throughout both major loops are bound to go through a severe shakeup. New York Yankees, the once most feared club in the junior circuit, are on the skids. Father Time has caught up with a. number of their key veterans. We look for a number of changes before next season rolls around. Will the -Yanks bounce back? Certainly! (We hope!) We feel certain that Messrs. Dan Topping, Del Webb and George Weiss will never let them die. Particularly after the way the `Bambino' (Babe Ruth) built Yankee Stadium. It may be a long winter for the Yankee hands this year. The New York owners undoubtedly will be, seeking trades with other clubs to bolster their own. No matter how much trading they do, we think their big reign is all through. Other clubs throughout the circuit are spending money freely and have built up their farm clubs. The Yankees' farm system has hit a 'drought. Just how far the Yankee owners will go for trade isn't exactly known but names of Hank Bauer, Don Lar- sen, Gil McDougald and Hector Lopez have been mentioned. How About That Mel! This Question Was A Puzzler! Pictured above is one of baseball's greatest players in the person of "Yogi" Berra. The "Yogi- man" has provided a lot of thrills for baseball fans over the years, but in this instance he was caught in one of his more serious acts. He is scratching his head after having a question fired at him during batting practice in 'a game at Briggs Stadium this summer, The question which made Yogi ponder for a minute was about the Yankees winning the pen- nant again this year. Incidentally, the husky looking chap on the left firing the questions was yours truly, tipping the scales at 130 pounds! CUFF CLEANERS — We hear that Gerry Smith, a faithful Yankee fan if there ever Was •one, is out of St, Joseph's Hospital and is resting up at his• home HCrediton. You certainly have to hand it to him. e planned his operation with care because now he'll be able to watch the National League playoff and world series. St, Joseph's must have a drawing at. .. B traction, Exeter Mohawk secretary -treasurer, Bill Musser, entered on Monday for a knee operation. Apparently the injury goes back to his hockey -playing days .. Lucan and Hensall will soon be putting their ice in. The new surface will not go into the Exeter rink until November.. Congratulations to the SHDHS students on their showing at the annual Peftliei COMferarice track' and field meet. By Phe looks of things, the local high. school has some real up-and-coming athletes . ,, . Football season gets under way this li'riday, The Panthers have been ,working out practically every night for preparation.

Kristine Gulens (left) was crowned intermediate champ and set a new record in the running broad jump. Bob Gibbs (centre) collected eight of 12 points gathered in the boys' division. He equalled an old record in the high jump; placed first in the pole vault and gained a pair of third place finishes, Ausma Gulens shared the junior championship with Eileen Nicholson of Mitchell when each scored eight points. Gulens cracked two-tenths of a second off the old record in the 75 -yard dash with a time of 9.8. She also placed first in the standing broad jump. Missing from the picture is Norma 'Geiger who finished runner-up in the inter- mediate class.

SHDHS helps break records Perthex athletes made the best of ideal weather conditions, They rewrote the record books on no less than 12 occasions and equal- led two other standing records. Boy's divisions set the pace by bettering six records and tying two others while the girls upset six old marks. South Huron performers set two of the new marks and equal- led on other. In the junior girl's division, Ausma Gulens, who tied for the junior championship honours in the meet with Eileen Nicholson of Mitchell with eight points, re- wrote the books in the 75 -yard dash with a mark of 9.8 seconds. Gulens knocked two-tenths of a second off the old mark set by Lynn Harris of St, Marys in 1956. Dominate intermediate division Kristine Gulens and Norma Geiger dominated the intermedi- ate girl's division by finishing up one-lwo for the champion- ship. Gulens copped the inter- mediate crown with nine points while Geiger placed second with six. Kristine Gulens shone in the running broad jump as she bet- tered the old record by 71". E. Cooper of Listowel held a 1956 jump of 14'9" until Kristine leap- ed to the new mark of 15' 41". South Huron's Bobb Gibbs, in the intermediate boy's section, was the only local male athlete who showed real polish. He equalled the high jump mark set by K. McCully of Stratford in 1957 with a leap of 5' 3i" and placed first in the pole vault event with a jump of 9' 3". Gibbs also placed third in the broad jump and hop, step and jump to pick up eight points for his school.
