HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1956-10-04, Page 3A Plan To Mend Broken Marriages "Please tell me what to do, I love him so much!" Tearfully, the young woman told the vicar what was worrying her. "After five years of happiness, I have just discovered my husband is being unfaithful to me." The other woman, she ex- plained, was his pretty blonde secretary. "But I'm quite sure he doesn't really love her," she ridded. "He's only infatuated with her." The vicar was a man of ac- tion and he got busy. Twenty- four hours later he had brought the couple together again. Then he told them: "I have thought of a .way whereby you can start married life all over regain with all your vows un- broken, I'm going to re -marry you. Do you agree?" They did. At a quiet little ceremony in a village church the • young wife, trembling anew with happiness and carrying a wed- ding bouquet, promised "to take afresh this man. . . ." And the husband slipped a new ring on Iter finger. And the blonde secretary? She is still mystified at her young boss's changed attitude to her, although she has left the job and is now working for - someone else. When that Swedish vicar - realized how immenseley -suc- cessful his re -marriage idea was, he decided to pei'auade other unhappy couples to fol- low the first pair's example. To -day these kiss -and -make- up ceremonies are famous throughout Sweden. Scores of couples whose marriages were drifting on to the rocks have re -married and are now bliss- fully happy. Says the vicar, the Rev. Erik Arbin: "Four years have elapsed since that first re -mar- riage ceremony and I think I have proved that• it is possible to mend marriages which look like breaking up. In only one instance has the re -marriage idea failed to bring a couple happily together again." He believes his plan could be adopted successfully in other ]European countries and also in the United States which has a high 'divorce rate. It was in the United States come time ago that a good - 1 o g k i n g but tempermental couple in their middle twenties decided of their own acQord to "re -wed in order to stay mar- lsied," as they put it. . They went to amazing, 'lengths, in planning their sec- ond weddings, to wipe out me- mories of the first. The husband bought the wife a new $750 en- gagement ring as well as a new wedding ring. And the wife, who was originally married in white, chose for her second wedding dress a dazzling pink and gold model: "Pink and gold are more lasting colours than white," she said. Although the husband's orig- inal wedding suit was still as new, he bought himself a fresh one. This time, too, the brides- maids were the wife's two plainest friends. "I intended," she confided, "to be by far the prettiest woman present,'dt my re -marriage." She was, too! • TOWER OF GLASS—An impres- sive glass booth stands high ,;Above an intersection,, in the "-British sector of Berlin.

VINTAGE VICTORY — Donald G. Harter pilots the 1903 Model A Ford which won him the grand championship in the 1899- 1916 class of the sixth annual Old Car Festival held at Green- field Village, Mich. A record 250 „antique autos were entered in the event. One - Shot Heroes Of World Series The handsome, strapping man walked almost jauntily to the mound. His gait was loose and easy, and he casually scanned the packed and roaring stands at Boston's hostile Fenway Park as if counting the house. Big Gene Bearden figured to be tense and tired; but he acted with the nonchalance of a man being dandled in the lap of des- tiny. One week earlier he had pitch- ed the Cleveland Indians to vic- tory in the American League's only pennant playoff. Three days earlier he had won the third game of the World Series with a sparkling 2 0 shutout tri- umph over the Boston Braves. But now, in the sixth game, Bob Lemon had faltered as the Indians stood only one and two- thirds innings away from being the champions of the world; and with their lead down to one run, with only one out in the eighth, they had called Bearden from the bullpen. There was an easy smile on Big Gene's lips as he faced the batter that sunny afternoon of October 11, 1948, with a stance which seemed to say: "Okay, fellows, I'll from here!" . And take it he did, setting the desperate Braves down quickly to end the eighth, then pitching faultlessly through the ninth to give the Indians the world championship. Gene Bearden, who won the American League's only penn- ant playoff, captured one series game and saved the finale of an- other all in one week to cap a 20 -game season, was the stickout hero of the 1948 classic. But Bearden was a one-shot hero, like so many others in the history of baseball's annual blue ribbon event! Never since then has he had a winning season. Five years later he was peddled back to the minor leagues. Last spring he tried to make the big time once again — and wound up back in the Pacific Coast League as just another shopworn hero with one flaming memory. He has a lot ot company — fel- lows like little Al Gionfriddo of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Johnny Beazley of the St. Louis Cardin- als, WilceY Moore of the New York Yankees, George White- man of the Boston Red Sox, George Rohe of the "Hitless Wonder" Chicago White Sox and young Floyd Giebell, who was a World Series hero while sitting on the bench. For each of them the aftermath was the lonesome road. :w Beardon, for one, at least knows the reason. "Haven't had a drink in a year and a half," he explained last spring as he tried to make it back to the big time. "Every- one kept saying that alcohol was the thing that was holding me clown, so 1 just quit." But the old magic was gone, and when the Milwaukee Braves let him go, it was back to Sacra- mento in the Pacific Coast League. By mid-season, even in that company, he was still a loser with four wins against five losses, ' Gionfriddo never made it as big as Bearden, but in the 1947 World Series the little man pulled a play about which, they still speak. Within a period of eleven months, he was respon- sible for one of the funniest gags, one of the most historic catches and one of the most poignant take it Milwaukee (when it 'still was in the minors), Dallas, and, finally, outright release by Oklahoma City in 1952. Whiteman, who was knoyvn as "Lucky George from Peoria," was a weird hero in a weird season. That was 1918, when Secretary of War Newton Baker granted permission for a cur- tailed major league season, with the World Series slated for early September. fadeouts in big league baseball. Gionfriddo went to the Brook- lyn_ Dodgers in May, 1947. Brooklyn sold pitchers Kirby Higbe and Cal McLish, catcher Homer Howell and shortstop Gene Mauch to the Pittsburg Pi- rates for $300,000 — and the five foot, six inch Gionfriddo. "This must have been the mes- senger boy thrown into the ordeal so he could carry the money from Pittsburgh to Brooklyn," one Dodger writer kidded. But on October 5, •1947, "Little Gi" was sent out to play left field in the sixth inning of the sixth game of the World Series against the Yankees. There were two out and two on when the mighty Joe DiMaggio rifled an apparent home run to left field. Gionfriddo. started sprinting back with the crack of the bat. Suddenly, right at the bullpen gate, he whirled and leaped into the air. The ball landed in his glove, and Gionfriddo, almost falling over the fence, held it for a dazzling one -hand stab which brought a tremendous roar of applause from the gog- gle-eyed stands. It was the field- ing gem of the Series. But the following April, "Lit- tle Gi" was released to Mont- real. Despite his World Series heroics, he had batted a puny 175 in 38 games for Brooklyn the previous season. Nor could he stick in Montreal. From there it was St. Paul, Fort Worth, Drum- mondville, `Newport News, Ven- tura, California, and finally re- leased by lowly Vasalia, Cali- fornia, in 1955. Beazley, the handsome right hanc'ter of the Cardinals, was an- other who rocketed to World Series fame, and faded just as quickly into oblivion. At the start of the 1942 cam- paign, Johnny was a rookie languishing in the bullpen. But when he finally got his chance, he was a ball of fire, and as the Cardinals moved into the clas- sic against the Yankees, young Johnny was a 21 -game winner with a bright future. It looked even brighter as twice in the Series lie tamed a tough team which included such stalwarts as Di -Maggio, Charley Keller, Bill Dickey, Joe Gordon, Frankie Crosetti, Red Rolfe and Phil Rizzuto. Beazley beat Ernie Bonham in the second game, 4 to 3, and then won a 4 to 2 squeaker from Red Ruffing to wind tip the Series in the fifth game. Then he marched off to service for three years. 'When he came back, Johnny had lost the touch. In 1946 he had a 7-5 mark. Arm trouble followed, and for three seasons he won a total of two games against one defeat. The Braves gave hint a brief shot, and then it was the long road clown — St. Petersberg, Hartford, Nashville,' eery, Itching Skin Geis Quick Relief Here.

Ed Barrow, then manager of the Red Sox, brought 36 -year- old George up from Toronto just for the war emergency. All sea- son he saw only limited action in left field against lefthanded pitching, even though it was an era in which two-platooning still was a novelty. 'But it was Whiteman who ruined the Chicago Cubs in the Series. In the first game, a 1 to 0 win for a southpaw named George H. Ruth and called "Babe", "Lucky George" put the only run in scoring position. In the third game, Whiteman start- ed the decisive three -run rally and then saved the contest with a Gionfriddo catch. He scored the winning run in the fourth game, and then drove home both winning runs in the fifth and final contest: Pretty fancy base- ballingez But:the -next spring as the Red Soil "pros" returned from service„ Whiteman drew a ticket back to the minors. Then there's the case of Anthony Rohe. In three seasons With' the Chicago White Sox of the young American League he never batted more than .213. Thus, as those "Hitless Won- ders" went into the World Series cf 1906 it was regarded as strict- ly "no contest." The opposition was Frank Chance's Cubs of Tinker -to -Ev- ers -to -Chance fame. They had won 116 games while losing only 38 for a .763 percentage, which still stands as a record. The "Hitless Wonders" were a team with a combined batting aver- age of only .228 and a club total of nine home runs all season. Yet the "Hitless Wonders" beat them, four games to two. And the upset can be traced to an injury to Sox shortstop George Davis, which gave the .196 -hit- ting Rohe his chance. All he did was bat .333 for the classic and win the first and third games with resounding triples. Still, it took practically all the hits out of his anemic bat. One year later he was back in the minor,leaguesfor good. Young Johnny Podres, the hero of Brooklyn's World Series triumph last year, may have been lucky that he was called into service before this season started. Or, as in Beazley's case, there is a grim possibility that when he does return, he will never be the same. Because the men who walk the high road in baseball's an- nual extravaganza are a risky lot. Too many have had one glorious hour — then heart- break. And you never know whether your October hero is going to stay on the glory road or wind up a one-shot stepchild of fate.
