The Seaforth News, 1961-07-06, Page 3Chhnney Sweeping Gees Modern The mournful call "S-w-e-e.•p 0" rends the horning air in Westminster, where wispy smoke spirals out of old - fashioned chimney pots and root settles unchecked by penalties impos- ed in a smokeless zone. One chimneyswcep rides a tricyole,carrying brooms of his trade in a box, Another has a small open van, Neither looks' so black as the "sweep" of child- hood memory, Yet even in their cleaned -up state, Westminster sweeps can- t not hold a brush to Manches- te'r'n new guardian of the chim- trey pots. lie is clad in white overalls and travels in a "shin - i1 g white van with gold letter- ing," Their sacty trousers are the badge of private enterprise. Ed- ward Hayes's white overalls are the symbols of state ownership. For Mr, Hayes is Britain's first nationalized chimneysweep. The flues under his care are• those of the National - Coal Board's North Western Division in Greater Manchester, Thus, the black art of chimney sweeping has come a long way since Charles Kingsley's "Wa- ter C,.Lies" draw attention to the plight of the boys who were sent up to the chimneys to re- move the soot. Soon after the publication of the sentimental little story of the sweep who was turned into a water baby, the boy appren- tices were replaced by brushes on long handles. The men who used these brushes called themselves "Me- chanical Chimney Sweeps." Mr. Hayes's mechanization goes a lot further. He has a new "powerful vacuum machine" to suck the soot from the chimney. Yet even this has its limita- tions. He must still use the tra- ditional round brushes to dis- turb the soot writes Melita Knowles in the Christian Science Monitor However, one is not likely to read in the newspapers, as in Kingsley's day, of a new Boy who "was likely to have, lost his We in this Morning at Weston House in sticking in one of their chimneys." Memories of the Upheaval of the morning when the "sweep" came are vivid. The kitchen was shrouded in newspaper and dust- elseets.. Breakfast was late and served in the front parlour. The seat arrived in the misty light, his eyes shining from his black lace like two torches, his lips ' a translucent pink. When his work was finished Site soot was carefully wrapped into newspapers and taken out, into the garden to be watered Into the vegetable marrow beds. Come to think of it — I won- der if vegetable marrows grow large in smokeless zones? RUTH DID MORE THAN HIT Although he is best remem- bered for his tremendous home runs, the Babe was quite a pitcher, too. I•n the 1916 World Series, he pitched 13 scoreless innings against the Brooklyn Dodgers. In the 1918 Series against Chicago, he shut out the Cubs in the first game and went seven and two -third innings '•in'. the fourth game before he gave up0two runs. No woman remains s married to the same. man for years. After the first year he's not the same man, ISSUE 26 — 1961 TIME 'SAVER — This workman at Paris' Orly. Airport found a way to cover 30 miles per •day faster than on foot. His job is to post departure and arrival times. Old Archie is A Ham At Heart Before his fight against. Giulio Rinaldi of Italy, Archie ailoore, the eternal showman, ate at the home of his brother-in-law, actor Sidney Pokier. Earlier in the day, Moore; who played the ren- ewer slave' in the movie "Iiuek- leberry Finn," spent some time with his dramatic coach, When light time arrived, Archie Moore, light -heavyweight champion of New York, Massachusetts, and. Europe, was ready—to act, no' fight. As he sat in his corner in Ma- dison Square. Garden before the first round, • Moore churned • his legs, vibrating the' tight, muscu- lar flesh. Then, for fifteen rounds, Moore gave Rinaldi a lesson in method 'acting. The champion looked like a fighter. He snarledlike a fighter. He moved his hands like a fighter. Occasionally, he even landed a punch like a fighter. But the fight itself had no more drama than a Class C Western. Moore,'who admits to 44 years, proved only two things — he could still get under the divi- sion's 175 -pound limit and he could still last fifteen rounds. Rinaldi, 26, who beat Moore in a nontitle fight last fall, proved nothing. His punches lacked power and when he attacked, he did so with reluctance. In the dressing room, Moore, winner by a unanimous decision, was satisfied with his dull per- formance, I "I wanted him to take a lesson back to Italy," he said. "I think he learned a good one," Moore smiled, pulling up his black trunks that had flapped precariously on 'his hips through- out the fight. "Pretty good for an old man with fifteen rounds to traverse." • Had his years bothered . him? "We were exactly 'the same age going into the ninth round," he said, "Rinaldi 'was older than I before the fight ended." The performance nearly over, Moore said he hoped to fight Ingemar Johansson. this summer. Then, he shifted the conversation to more important' matters. "I hope to star in a remake of the WallaceBe e r ,y movie,. 'The Champ'," he said. '1 of ' course, will play the champ," Pitcher Ed Walsh once had 11 assists in one game. WHERE THERE'S A WHEEL It probably wouldn't do for an amusement park, bu,t this ferric wheel is fine for Boy Scouts at the Scoutorama, Kansas City. The lads made it from hickory pates and rope. They Play Baseball Strictly To Win Among American League base- ball players, Jimmy Piersall, an intense outfielder who o n c e spent two months in a mental institution, and Vie Powers, a moody first -baseman who refuse to catch a ball with two hands are called"showboats," a derisive term that implies an ego surplus and a talent deficit, "When the players vote for the All-Star team, we don't get many votes," Plersall cenccfed I'.'t met" • 'They don't like me because .1 tell people what I think of them. But as long as we win, who the hell cares about being popular? I can't teed my eight kids with popularity," "I think I know why they do not like me," added Power, a native of Puerto Rico. "They get mad at me because I catch one - handed. But that is the way 1 like to catch the ball," Jimmie Dykes, who manages Piersall, Power, and the rest of the Cleveland Indians, .has his own explanation. ":Piersall, and Power aren't popular among op- ponents because they're good players," he said. "They're popu- lar with me, I don't. know where we'd be without them," With them, the Indians, ignor- ed in pre -season pennant selec- tions,'led the American League recently, after a ten -game win- ning streak and 22 victories in 26 games, an incredibly torrid pace. But nothing is more in- credible than the emergence of Piersall and Power as the chiefs of the Indians. Less than a year ago, Peirsall seemed on the -verge of his sec- and nervous collapse, With weird gyrations in 'centre field, he ranted against umpires, oppon- ents, and teammates: His actions threw him out of seven games and the Indians finally.sent him home to rest for several days. His outbursts prompted one writer to recommend that Pier - call write a sequel to his auto- biography, "Fear Strikes Out," which told of . his conquest of mental illness. "He, could call it, "Fear Doubles to Left'," the writer suggested.' But this year, Piersall has conquered his fear and his temper. Despite occasion- al outbursts, he has not been thrown out of a single game. "I'm still the same guy," he in- sists. "I'm not calm. I'll never be calm. The only difference is I'm not getting thrown out," There is another difference, too. Piersall, who hit .282 last season, is batting .367, 'first in the American League. "The hits have been falling in pretty good," he allows. If Piersall deviates from the baseball norm with his personali- ty, Power does' it with his play- ing, style. He is a unique fielder, using only his gloved left hand to' catch fly balls) ground balls, and throws, "When I try to catch with two hands," he explained, "I get tight, I 'catch with one hand, I stay' loose." One -handed; he is the finest fielder at his position in the majors. At bat, Power crouches, leans over the plate, and, awaiting the pitch, holds the bat only on his left hand, waving it like a golfer measuring a chip shot. But once the pitch is delivered, Power grabs the 'bat- with both hands and, ` his swing perfectly con- trolled, la s h es singles and doubles. 'with startling consisten- cy. This year, as usual, he is bat- ting close to .300. Piersall and Power, the In- dian's twin chiefs, are both con- fident about their team's chances in '1961. "We've got a bunch of good guys and -a helluva mana- ger," Piersall said. "Gee whiz," chirped Power, "I ,think we are going to make it," Bag A Buffalo Also A Black Bear! Sportsmen who hope to test '-their luck at bagging ;a buffalo in Canada's Northwest Territor- ies during the coming hunting season will also have a chance of addling a black bear 'to their trophy collection.
