Well, it did happen this week in Washington. It was an oldtimers game with the Americans taking a 7-2 decision over their national loop counterparts and the array of former, greats was glittering. Among the former great pitchers was Cleveland In- dian Bob Feller who could throw the ball as fast or faster than any of today's pitchers. They didn't have machines to rate pitching speeds in the days of Feller, but, if they did his tosses would sure Make the needle jump over the 100 mile per hour point. Feller, mostly on the strength of his fastball struck out 2,581 batters during his 18 year career and was very aptly named, "Rapid Robert." Bill Mazeroski who hit a homer off Yankee pitcher Bill Terry to win the 1960 World Series for the Pittsburgh Pirates did the same thing against another former Yankee Don Larsen. Larsen is the only pitcher to throw a perfect World Series game. He did it for the Yanks in 1956. That's the year Bob Feller retired. Heading the National league pitchers were Warren Spahn and Lew Burdett. Remember when the motto of the Boston Braves was "Spahn and Sain and pray for rain. Probably the highlight of the entire game was a home run hit by shortstop Luke Appling for the American league. It's not the fact most shortstops are not known for their long ball hitting abilities, but, the age of the player in question. Appling was with the Chicago White Sox in the early 1930's when Jimmy Dykes was the manager. Appling is new 75 years of age. Wings should fly higher When the Detroit Red Wings start the 1962-83 National Hockey league season they should be a much stronger team in more ways than One. First of all the Wings have been taken over by a new owner and he doesn't like to be involved with a losing operation. Buying the hockey team from the Norris family was • Mike Hitch who is very successful in the business world with a chain of fast food restaurants. Some .30 years ago hitch was an aspiring shortstop in the Detroit Tiger organization and was with Johnstown in the PONY league at the same time as Lon- don had a team in the same loop. We heard Hitch on a WJR sports program the night he bought the team and he indicated he would work hard to produce a wiElfoing team and indicated he doesn't like defeat as be hasn't run into much of that in the business world. Some of his hockey acquaintancesarealsesuccessful. He listed Gordis Howe and Al Arbour as personal friends. He is beginning on the right foot by hiring Jimmy Devellano as general manager. Devellano may not be a household name to most hockey fans at the moment, but, it soon will be. Devellano is the fellow largely responsible for the great leap to the top by the New York Islanders. He spent five years with Scotty Bowman at St. Louis as a scout before moving on to Long Island and he is now known as one of the shrewdest judges of hockey talent. The new Red Wing GM says he likes to find players in junior and college ranks. Working out of Detroit he has a great opportunity to do just that without travell- ing too far. He can see all of the Ontario Junior Hockey League players in action by just going across the river to the Windsor arena and Michigan has two Big Ten univer- sities nearby with other good hockey schools in northern Michigan. These new developments in Detroit are bound to spell more problems for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Since realignment of divisions and the Winnipeg Jets moving west the Leafs find themselves in the position of only having to finish ahead of one team to make the playoffs and that would be the Red Wings. Despite these optimistic changes. Detroit fans can not expect miracles to happen overnight. but. they can look ahead and have some reasons for being optimistic. That appears to be a rosier future than Toronto fans can hope for as Harold Ballard and company appear to be doing very little to improve their club. Stealing records Rickey Henderson of the Oakland A's is well on his way to entering the baseball record book. Henderson is silting a torrid base -stealing pace that will surely put his name in the base running record book along with the likes of Lou Brock. Ty Cobb. Maury Wills and Gus Triandos. Gus Triandos' Yes, Gus Triandos the former catcher who played with Baltimore Orioles and Detroit Tigers among several other teams holds the major league record for most consecutive games without being caught stealing. The record is 1206 games without being caught. This period stretched between August 3. 1953 and August 15. 1965 when Triandos stole one_ base in his on- ly attempt. Another obscure base running is held by Don Baylor who while playing with the Baltimore Orioles on June 15, 1974 became the only Major leaguer to be caught stealing twice in the same inning. While Henderson should surpass Lou Brock's ma- jor league record of 118 stolen bases quite easily. it is not always that the stolen base leader is up around 180 stolen base. The record for fewest stolen bases by a league leader was set in 1960 by Dom DiMaggio when be led the American League in stolen bases with 15 in 141 games for the Boston Red Sox. ...•0I • • e • • • • GLAVIN FARMS WIN — The "B'• division championship of the recent slo-pitch tournament in Varna was won by Glavin Farms of Centralia.
