school's football clubs split a
double-header with GOderiCh
Collegiate teams at the local
school Friday afternoon.
The local juniors swamped the
lakeshore squad 59-0 after the
senior Panthers of SH dropped
a heart-breaking 21-18 decision
to the Vikings of Goderich.
The senior loss, their second
of the season, came as the result
Of successful Goderich pass play
that was good for six points in
the dying seconds of the game.
The juniors in their first start
of the year scored almost at will
n swamping Goderich, a eew
entry in the Huron-Perth confer-
ence.
Both South Huron clubs played
Stratford Central in the Classic
city yesterday, Wednesday.
HAYTER STEALS SHOW
The win by Glenn Micicle's
junior charges was highlighted by
the all-round performance turned
in by Jim Hayter. The husky
fullback scored the bulk of his
team's 59 points, romping for
six touchdowns and adding five
converts,
Chuck Snider carried over for
a pair of majors and Len Mc-
Neeley added a lone six pointer
to complete the South Huron scor-
ing, McNeeley's score came on
a 27 yard pass thrown by T om
Prout late in the first half.
In addition to his prominence
in the scoring department, Hay-
ter also handled the kick-off
duties and took his turn with the
defensive squad in the first half.
He was booming the ball to near
the Goderich goal line on most
of his boots and was a tower of
strength in stopping the Goderich
attack.
Two of Hayter's touchdowns
came on plays that weren't
intended as such. In field goal
kicking formation on two o-
ccasions, he picked up the pass
from centre that went astray and
took off to the wide side to hit
pay dirt.
A smart defensive play by Dave
Marshall in recovering a Goder-
ich fumble set up the last touch-
down scored by the local young-
sters.
FAILED TO LAST
In the senior contest, the Pan-
thers moved into a quick 12-0
lead as they scored on each of
the first two times they got their
hands on the ball. The visiting
Vikings fought back quickly and
chalked up a pair of converted
touchdowns to go into a tempor-
ary 14-12 lead.
The home club scored again
late in the second quarter to jump
in front 18-14 as the try for
extra point again went astray. The
two clubs battled up and down the
field for most of the final half
until Goderich clicked with the
game winning the toss with a-
bout twenty seconds to go.
On the very first offensive play
of the game alter Paul Mason had
carried the kick-off 10 yards, Al
Youngash took off and dashed 73
yards on a major score to put the
Panthers up 6-0. The convert
attempt was blocked by the
Goderich front wall.
The visitors failed to make the
necessary yardage on their first
offensive attempt and were forced
to kick back to South Huron.
On first down, Bill Malone gained
three off tackle and then quarter
Bud Desjardine unleashed a pass
that Paul Mason hauled in and
galloped 25 yards into the end
zone. Again, the kick for the
extra point was blocked and the

ABOUT UMPIRES
One of the questions most frequently asked is
how much do the umpires receive for their duties at
World Series time? Each man in blue receives $4,000,
regardless of the length of the series.
Does an umpire's name sneak into the plan-
ning of World Series strategy and do they make a
difference? Let's try and find out.
Generally, it's the best umpires from the two
leagues who are hired to officiate the World Series
and the most skilled umpires are the ones least no-
ticed as they go about their jobs.
Prior to a series, the Commissioner makes it
clear to the two managers that they will be held re-
sponsible for the conduct of their players on the
field. If an umpire ejects a player from a Series
game, the manc.gar must match his player's fine —
from his own pocket.
But umpires have a far greater impact on the
final outcome of a World Series than most fans real-
ize. Only the shrewdest of players and managers
have been able to take advantage of •this slight tech-
nical edge which comes from an inside knowledge
of the umpires and their individual styles.
When an ump makes a controversial call
which highlights a particular game, his decision be-
comes magnified a thousand 'times because of the tre-
mendous exposure which the Series receives.
The classic example is the late Bill Stewart's
"safe" call on Bob Feller's famous pickoff in the
1948 World Series opener. In the last of the eighth,
the game was scoreless. Phil Masi, the Boston Braves
catcher reached second base and Lou Boudreau, the
Cleveland shortstop and manager, flashed for the
pickoff. The Indians of 1948 had come as close as it
is humanly possible to perfect this difficult play,
When the catcher touched the top of his shinguard,
both Feller and Boudreau began counting to three.
On the three count, Boudreau raced for second and.
Feller fired back. The throw was perfect, beating the
runner and down low for a quick tag. Masi was
caught off, by about a foot, as the pictures revealed
the next day.
But Stewart's hands dropped in the safe sign,
Boudreau was too stunned to put up much of an argu-
ment. It was a judgement call and there could be no
protest. Tommy Holmes followed with a single and
the Braves won 1-0.
The Indians held no grudge against Stewart
for this apparent mistake, in fact they hired him as
a scout in later years,
HAVE DIFFERENT STRIKE ZONES
There is a basic difference between National
and American league umpires in the calling of balls
and strikes and this leads to a considerably different
strike zone between the two leagues.
NL umpires work with a snug-fitting chest
It may have been the extremely warm weather
of the past weekend that caused the birds to sing so
loudly. On the other hand, the excellent performance
of the Baltimore Orioles in the just concluded World
Series may have had some effect on the pleasant
sweet warblers.
Despite the words of our editor on these pages
last week, we are still "for the birds".
We wish to pass on our deepest condolences to
any of our readers who may have taken his advice
seriously and wagered on the Dodgers. A special
word to a friend of the editor's in Grand Bend. He
certainly couldn't have made full use of his newly
acquired spectacles in peering into the crystal ball.
Perhaps some of his error was quite justified.
The extra waiting for his second son to arrive on the
scene likely had him on edge. The new arrival in the
Batten household used better judgement than his
father in making his •appearance. The new bouncing
nine-pounder, waited until late Saturday afternoon
after the World Series contest was completed to see
the light of day.
The Oriole win certainly provides fuel for the
fire in the argument for those who advocate a well
rested club will have a better chance than one that
has to battle right down to the wire. Baltimore wrap-
ped up the American league pennant early, while the
Dodgers' participation in the fall classic wasn't cer-
tain until the last day of the schedule.
The four-game sweep by the Orioles was only
the tenth time this has been accomplished in the
previous 63 World Series, dating back to 1903. The
New York Yankees managed this feat on no less than
six occasions, the last coming against the Philadel-
phia Phillies in 1950. The Yanks were themselves
the victims of a whitewashing by the Dodgers in
1963.
HANK WASN'T SURPRISED
What makes the Baltimore win more amazing
is that they did it with superlative pitching, which
was supposed to be a strong suit of the Dodgers.
Oriole mentor, Hank Bauer, probably made
the understatement of the year when he said before
the series began, "maybe our pitching isn't as bad as
it is made out 'to be". In addition to the fine pitch-
ing, the Orioles on defence were brilliant and played
errorless ball throughout the short series.,
The showing of the rookies was prominent in
the Baltimore victory, but veterans held their end up
as well. Luis Aparicio, the old man of the club at 32,
played sensationally at shortstop and veteran reliefer
Moe Drabowsky only one year younger, was nigh
perfect in a fireman role. It was the only time Bauer
was forced to go to his bull pen staff.
Winning four straight makes a manager look
good, but Bauer made the right move at the right
time. Putting Paul Blair into centre field as a de-
fensive move late in Sunday's game paid handsome
rewards as the young fly chaser snared the first drive
hit to him that was heading over the screen.
As in most World Series action, records were
broken quite frequently, some the Dodgers would
like to forget about, especially going 33 innings with-
out reaching home plate.
In our opinion, one of the features of the
Series was the speed in which the games were
played. The last two contests were each completed
in well under two hours.
The other concerns the umpiring. The six men
in blue, three from each league, kept the games mov-
ing at all times and made sharp, decisive calls. Only
once in the entire set—and that was on a force play
at second—was an arbiter's decision even mildly
questioned.

final set, Thursday.
BELL SHARP
Don Bell, making his second
consecutive appearance in a re-
lief role, came on in the third
with the bases loaded and two
out and was able to preserve
the Kin lead.
The fast throwing right hander
struck out the first batter he faced
to end the threat and went on
to hold the Lanes bats to one
safety in the ensuing four innings.
The winning Kin clan started
off with a bang in their first
trip to the dish and plated three
runners before they were retired.
Lloyd Moore led of f with a
single to left and moved on to
third as George Pratt beat out a
bunt down the first base line.
Moore scored and Pratt moved
on to second on the first pitch to
Jim Hewitt, one that bounced
back to the screen. Hewitt de-
livered a single to right to plate
Pratt and continued the homeward
trip himself on two wild pitches
and a ground-out to second.
The winners completed their
scoring with a single tally in the
top of the third. After the first
two batters were retired, Dick
Roelofson drew a base on ball s,
moved up a base on a bad pitch
and romped home as Ron Ander-
son's grounder was muffed in the
Lanes infield.
The Lanes sent nine batters to
the plate in their half of the third,
but could only score three. Bob
Russell's grounder was muffed to
give the 'bowlers' some hope,
but he was quickly retired at sec-

Bun
protector worn inside the coat, permitting them to
bend lower and watch the pitches from over the
catcher's shoulder. From this vantage point, umps in
the National get a much clearer view of the knee-
high strikes and are more apt to call this particular
pitch in the pitcher's favor.
American league umpires wear the "balloon"
protectors over the front of their black coats and
evaluate balls and strikes from directly over the
catcher's head, This permits them an excellent view
of pitches on the outside corner but leaves them
guessing on the low pitches.
Back in 1963, Walter Alston of the Dodgers
changed his pitching rotation to suit the umpiring
situation in beating the Yankees four straight. He
used John Podres in the second game with National
leaguer Tom Gorman behind the plate. Podres, to be
effective, had to keep his strikes around the knees
and with Gorman calling the low strikes he shut out
the ranks for eight innings.
The next day, Alston called on Don Drysdale,
who uses a rising fast ball to advantage, This is cer-
tainly an easy pitch for the stand-up American
leaguer to call and the Dodgers won 1-0.
Umpires do make a difference.
