Zurich Herald, 1949-10-20, Page 6Look Out, )Ferdinand --Although soccer has replaced the tradi-
tional bull -fight as Spain's national sport, crows still flock to
cheer and jeer the fighters at Maclricl's arena. This picador,
his feet and calves well protected by steel and leather, inflicts
painful wounds on the bull to weaken and madden him. Then
the matador takes over.
We had always thought that the
Kentucky Derby was the supreme
example of that gentle American
habit of ballyhooing a more or less
ordinary sports event into some-
thing which the average fan be-
lieves to be of world-shaking im-
portance. But now, thinking over
the calibre of baseball (?) recently
exhibited in New York City and
Brooklyn, we are inclined to think
that the World Series classic (I)
tops even the Kentucky one.
* * *
The Yankees, for instance, al-
though they went into the series
badly handicapped physically, were
generally believed to be a "smart"
club—one that knew all the answ-
ers.
x * *
So what do we find them doing?
In the fourth game singles by Phil
Rizutto and Tammy Henrich—"the
old reliable"—put Yankee runners
on first and third. Yogi Berri
trickled one down to Miskis at
third: and Rizutto, trying to duck
Campanella's tag, stepped- off the
baseline. something which even a
third-grade schoolboy would know
made him an automatic out.
Whereupon Campanella had only
to throw down to second where
Henrich—"the old reliable"—was
having a daydream or something,
and found himself trapped off the
bag.
* *
So the ultra -smart Yankees, in
that one frame, had a total of two
walks and two hits, yet nary a run.
Of course it happened in Brooklyn
—and the atmosphere of Ebbets
Field must do something to even
smart ball -players. Still, if it had
been Babe Herman, or some of the
famous dumbells of old, that in-
dulged in that sort of base -running,
it would have gone down in the
books as still another example of
Dodger dumbness.
ISSUE.43 — 1949
But the whole sorry affair was
too much of a letdown, after all the
advance buildup, to dwell on at any
great length. If those were the
teams that finished- first in the Am-
erican and National Leagues, the
fans who live in the titles boasting
second division clubs must be real
gluttons for unishment.
*
At the same fourth Series game
already referred to. one observer
made the remark that you could
pick out a pretty fair ball team
from the spectators in the stands.
Then two or three of the boys
started snaking a list of the talent
present.
* * *
For your catching department
you could have had either Steve
O'Neill, Michey Cochrane or Luke
Sewell. Your pitcher might have
been Carl Hubei!, Lefty Gomez or
Waite Hoyt. At first—Hank Green-
berg, Bili.Terry or Charlie Grimm.
Second — Rogers Hornsby or
Frankie Frisch. Shortstop—Lippy
Leo Durocher or Pie Traynor. At
third—Red Rolfe or half a dozen
others almost as good. And as out-
fielders, Tris Speaker, Ty Cobb and
Mel Ott. - :w

MUCH OF THE STRENGTH and vitality
of Canadian life and the rich quality
of its democracy stems from the
blending of racial and cultural -
heritages from many lands..Few
countries draw niore.strength from
more nations than does Canada.
Canadians are justifiably proud
that. so many, races, without sacrific-
ing their national characteristics,
have united themselves into one
great citizenship—the Canadian
Family.
Probably no race has produced
more emigrants than the Irish. A
ate
century ago, the Irish formed half
the population of Canada and
today, in' every town and village
from Newfoundland to. Vancotiv\er
Island, one can find a son of the.
Emerald Isle. The Irish brogue
echoes through all of Canada's
history.
Blessed with the "gift of the,
gab", their industry and alnbition;,-
coupled with an imaginative:
humour, are qualities which,l ave
won friends and enabled thelx-. ••
to contribute much to Canada'•S'
progress..
