SPORTS
By PON "BOOM BOOM" GRAVETT
Sports Editor
aASEBAI,I, IS A GOOD PROC=ESSION
Tins Burgess, who hails from the striving vil-
lage of Lambeth, wouldn't part with the game' of
baseball for anything. If we had his opportunity, 1
doubt very much if iwe would either.
Tim has travelled half way around the world.
Be has played with the St. Louis Cards for a season
and a half. Right now, he earns his yearly salary
shagging balls for the Rochester Red Wings of the
International League. He knew several players per,
sonally i>n the 'Yankees and Braves who just complet-
ed a terrific World Series fight. hes tied up in
sports from head to toe and has a nice family to
boot. What more can a pian ask? Oh yes. we almost
forgot, he also had a chance to travel to Japan with
the Cards this winter on their exhibition tour but
other duties held hien back.
We took a liking to the 178 -pound athlete as
goon as we saw him in Hensall last Thursday night
at the baseball banquet and we certainly couldn't
help but get along first-rate with him when he told
us what team he chose to win the World Series.
You guessed it! Them thar Yankees! (Don't hide yet,
Bert!) We must admit, though, Tim told us that the
Braves should have won it after leading 3-1 in games.
Tim thought that if baseball in this country
was set up like hockey organizations that more play-
ers would be developed of major league calibre. We
disagree a little with this mainly because the ball
season doesn't lest as long here as it does in the
'United States. Hockey is the major pastime in this
part of the continent and no matter what is done,
it won't change, mainly because of our climate.
One of the most interesting facts Tim. passed
along was his choice of the all-star teams for '58 in
the American and National Leagues, .He put a couple
of the boys in there that we thought would have
trouble making the second team but it still proved
most interesting. It went like this:
American League National League
Bob Turley -- pitcher -- Warren Spahn
Yogi Berra — catcher — Roy Campanella
Bill Skowron — first base --- Stan Musial
Gil McDougald — second base -- "Red" Schoendienst
Luis Aparicio -- shortstop — Ernie Banks
Frank Malzone — third base — Ken Boyer
Ted Williams --- left field — "Duke" Snider
Mickey Mantle — centre field -- Willie Mays
Jackie Jensen — right field — "Hank" Aaron
(Our choice for managers of the two leagues—
American, Bert Horton; National, Don Mousseau.)
We got quite a •kick out of a couple of incid-
ents that Burgess' told us about. One i.rvolving Al
Kaline topped the list. Apparently Harry "The Hat"
Walker, now manager of Rochester, looked at Kaline
as a rookie in '53. After his look he told Al he'd
better go back to school because he'd never make a
ball player. That fall Kaline signed a bonus contract
with the Detroit Tigers, Walker will neve): live that
one down.
Before closing on the Hensall banquet, we'd
like to thank the group up that way for extending
to us an invitation. We enjoyed the outing very much
but one thing still puzzles us. They said there were
85 guests on hand but the cooks told us afterwards
they fed 90. Oh yes, we forgot, Peter McNaughton
was there eating for his buddy Bert Horton who
couldn't make it!
GRIDIRON SEASON CLOSES. QUICKLY
Although the South Huron District High
School Panthers didn't win any championship or even
make the playoffs, we'd like to laud the players for
an excellent effort. Winners in this hard-hitting game
are not always the .league champions. We think in
this case, the local Panthers deserve credit for their
efforts as they yielded height and weight in practical-
ly all of their games to the opposition but still man-
aged to break even on the season with two wins and
two losses. They scored something like 43 points and
had the same amount piled against then'. The job
Coach Glen Mickle did with these boys ,)hould he
appreciated by all. However, we disagree with the
high school teacher on one very technical point. As
much AS we'ti like to see it happen, we're afraid
Ottawa won't win the Big Four championship as he
predicted. Watch for those Ti -Cats again!
CUFF CLEANERS -- See where Kenny Doig, hard-
working centreman on the Clinton Colts hockey club
last year, has been named to pilot them through the
'58-'59 season .. , Rumours are going around that
the Butchers of the bowling alleys are looking for
a good substantial 125 average bowler to replace
Glenn Robinson and Harold Wolfe! Hard to believe
that "Robby" and "Wdrlfy" are on the block! Don
Case had a few anxious moments at the alleys this
week when Bob Osgood threatened. his :sigh single
with a 382 game. All Ozzie needed was a spare in
the -tenth to make it a 400 game, but only managed
to nail down 15 points. Brother, so close and yet so
far! . Funeral services will be held. for the To-
ronto Argonauts after this Saturday's game in Mont-
real , . . That was a tough break for Junior Barash
getting his elbow broken while playing with the
Northern OHA Senior "A" club . . Predictions
around Exeter are that Strathroy Rockets will go
bankrupt half way through, 'the season . , Things
are humming at the local arena now that the ice. is
in. When the Mohawks will get up there to practice

"Sport is a fine advertisement.
for your own community as it
helps to attract industry!"
This was one of the major
statements made by Tim Bur-
gess who addressed some 85
guest at the Hensall Bantam
baseball banquet in Hensall
Thursday night.
Burgess. who spent 7.t's years
with the Sl. Louis Cardinals of
the National League and who is
now one Of the standouts on
the Rochester Red Wings of the
International Baseball League,
made some startling, statements
to an eagsr group of listeners
about a sport which is the third
largest business in the United
States and Canada.
"Baseball is a community job,

Rochester club flies the. team
everywhere and supplies all the
necessary meal money. It was
amazing to me when I found out
that only five Canadian players
have made the major leagues.
To me, that percentage .is very
poor. There's a real Jiving to be
made from the American game.
U more boys were interested in
ball at a young age and taught
the fundamentals of the game
such as is being done here in
Hensall, there would undoubtedly
be more players produced with
major league calibre throughout
Canada.
"One of the 'most important
things in the game today for all
youngsters is not to get discour-
aged when you sit on the bench,
A team is only as strong as the
bench strength it posesses. Par-
ents should keep encouraging
their youngsters to attend prat
