HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1952-01-24, Page 6Future sports Historians, looking
back on the year 1951 will probably
find it a time when nothing much
happened, and most of what dict
happen wasn't any too good. Scan-
dals in horse -racing, football, bas-
ketball—scandals which were sup-
posed to shakes those pastimes to
their very foundations (and only
resulted in increased attendances)--.
broke out all over the map 1ike2.. -
pimples on the face of a kid just
starting to shave.
* * *
Of course there were some mem-
orable happenings during t h a t
twelvemonth. For example there
was the amazing surge of the New_
York Giants which, coupled with
the equally astounding fadeout of
the Brooklyn Dodgers, resulted in
the most exciting pennant finish
organized baseball e v e r knew.
(There was also the fact that this
column corrected predicted the win-
ners of the National and American
Leagues and of the Stanley Cup,
and immediately went out of the
. prognostication racket for keeps.
Quit when you're ahead is our
motto.)* * ,;e .
$o, for no good "reason, here are
a few of the things which came
off, month by xnon.th, and if you
take a quick .swivel at them, you'll
probably be surprised at how many
of them you have forgotten already.
* * *
JANUARY: Joe Louis, trying
for a comeback, ;beat Freddie, Be -
shore. Two Manhattan• College bas-
ketball players were arrested for
throwing games and 100 or more
basketball coaches loudly proclaim-
ed, "Too bad, but nothing like that
could happen on MY team." Don.
Gehrman won , h i s thirty - fifth
straight mile race.
* *
FEBRUARY: Joe Louis, still hot
on the 'comeback trail, outpointed a
character called Omelio'Agramonte,
or some such. Don Gellman won
his -37th straight mile race. Also his
35th. Basketballers from City Col-
lege and Long Island University
confessed to having accepted bribes,
and the chorus, "It couldn't happen
to MY team" went into a decided
diminuendo. Rough and Tumble
won the Santa Anita Derby—with-
out any hacking from us, we might
add.
*
MARCH: Ezzard Charles retain-
ed ;his heavyweight championship
by outpointing Jersey. Joe. Walcott,
and we'll bet you didn't recall that
one. Fred Wilt stopped Don Gehr-
man's winning streak at No. 39.
Baseball decided it could. do with-
out Happy Chandler. A steed called
Yildiz won the Flamingo Stakes in
Florida and would have been in-
stalled as a Kentucky Derby favor-
ite if somebody hadn't forgotten ,to
enter him for that event.
APRIL: Detroit Red Wings.
proved themselves to be the best
distance runners in hockey, but
Maple Leafs beat them in the
sprints. Repetoire won the Wood
Memorial and became the Kentucky
Derby favorite. New York Giants
started off by losing 11 straight,
Making it•look as if even Leo Dur-
-ocher couldn't stand the handicap
of this corner picking his boys.
* * *
MAY: Joe Louis won from Agra-
rnonte again—on' points, causing
much head -shaking among those of
us who remembered whorl Mr. A.
would have been K.O.'d if Joe had
given hint a dirty look. Count Turf
won the Kentucky Derby, and Re-
petoire was remembered only as a
mis-spelled name. Something nam-
ed Bold won the Preakness.
* * *
JUNE: The Chicago White Sox,
of all people, won 14 straight and
headed the American League, some-
thing that hadnt happened' since
first -bounce was out Counterpoint-
won
ounterpointwon the Belmont Stakes. The :
Brooklyn Dodgers made the pen-
nant absolutely .sae by grabbing
Andy Pafko.
* * *
JULY.: Randy Turpin heat Ray
Robinson for the middleweight
crown. Surprise! Surprise! Bob Fel-
ler hurled the third no-hitter of his
career, Joe Walcott K.O.'d Ezzard
Charles for the heavyweight crown.
Citation became the first horse to
win over a million slugs, which
probably took a load of worry off
Citation's mind. The National
League won the All Star game.
* * *
• AUGUST. Joe Louis plodded
along that you -know -what trail by
beating a gent tagged Brion: Ninety
cadets at West Point were dis-
covered to have ‘been peeking,
wrecking the Army's f b o t b a 11
chances. Scandal broke out in On-
tario horse racing, circles 'around
Fort Erie — a scandal that burst
forth like a rocket—and finished in
much the sante way., With a 13%.
game pennant 'lead to work on,
those who had bet on the Brooklyn
Dodger s started spending their
gains.
' * *
SEPTEMBER: Ray Robinson
regained •his championship from
Turpin. No surprise! Na surprise!
Frank Sedgman of Australia took
the U.S. tennis title. New York
Yankees won their pennant while
the Giants tied the Dodgers on the
final day of the season.
* * *
OCTOBER: Giants won the
playoff series, two games to one,
with a finish — remember Bobby
Thomson's last inning homer? —
that out -thrilled anything Holly-.

took the World Series fairly han-
dily, the Giants evidently neglect -

Floris Matthew Ruane is no a man to go half way when it comes
to Christmas lighting. Each years since 1941—except during war
years—Ruane has turned his home, greenhouse and surrounding
property into a Christmas wgnderland of .light. The big elm tree
above blossoms with 16,500 `kreill, blue bulbs on a total of 45
circuits and powered by a special transformer on the pole nearby.
The display is a delight to the whole town, and the only rub
comes when Ruane gets the bill. Below, he's seen, perusing last
year's December lighting bill of $472.

NOVEMBER; Toronto Maple
Leaf Baseball Club predicted that
they would have the finest baseball
team the Queen City ever knew in
1952, Well, you can't arrest a guy
for hoping. Heads of six National
League hockey clubs predicted that
their teams would get into the play-
offs at least. The odds are two to
one they are all right.

DECEMBER: Bill Cook- replac-
ed Neil Colville as coach of New
York Raners. Even now Big Bad
,Bill could probably add strength Co
that outfit by, donning a• uniform
and playing Joe. DiMaggio, an-
nouncing "his 'retirement, said that
night baseball had shortened his
career by at least 3 years. Well, Joe,
the automobile has shortened a lot
of 'careers—but looks as if it's here
to stay too.

A Vast Hairy Horde
Reports state that millions of•
hairy caterpillars invaded Narrabri
in New South Wales, swarmed into
homes and shops, crawled over
sleeping people and sent thirty-
seven to hospital. Wherever they
'`touched, their poisonous hairs left
red, painful weals which took about
ten days to cure. They got into
beer cellars and crawled into vats,
destroying seventy-two gallons of
beer; they slipped into slot machines
and emerged with the bars of
chocolate and sweets; they stripped
trees and dropped on people.
Caterpillars can be a dreadful
