Tribe mak'um plenty smoke
for eight innings! Medicine man
fails with magic charms in
ninth!
That, in a nutshell, is the
story on the Huron-Perth In-
termediate Baseball League
game played in Exeter Sunday
afternoon.
Exeter Mohawks let the ninth
inning jitters get the best of
them and because of this, Walk-
erton registered a 9-4 victory
at the expense of the tribe.
The win, coupled with a 13-4
victory over Zurich Lumber
Kings last week, leaves Walk-
erton unbeaten, having wonboth
of their Huron-Perth starts.
The Tribe, who looked as
though they could win their sec-
ond game in a row, completely
collapsed in the ninth as Walk-
erton surged ahead with a five
run rally. Two errors, five wild
pitches, a walk and two singles
described the sad ninth inning
story.
Have you ever wondered what becomes of
baseball players who are retired from one of
America's greatest games? Well, this one we're
talking about Was a favourite of many.
Presently, at the ripe old age of 48. Enos
"Country" Slaughter is a North Carolina -cattle
raiser and tobacco grower. The "Old Warhorse"—
and rightly named—was as complete a ball
player as ever wore spikes.
It was a fierce inner drive that made the
Carolinian so great a ball player. He never walk-
ed to his position. He ran. He tried for every-
thing. He quit on nothing. He could run, throw,
field and hit with power. He had all the ingredi-
ents,.
Even his name was perfect for his type
of game, Slaughter. He barreled into bases. He
crashed into walls. He wielded a murderous bat,
Baseball was full-tilt, 100 per cent operation with
him and he became almost a symbol of eternal
hustle, Even now, according to reports, at the
creaky age of 48, be still is hard and fit at his
home in Salisbury, N.C., not far from Roxboro,
where he was born.
Slaughter joined the Cardinals in 1938 and
tipped the scales at the 188-pound mark, When
he finished his big league career in 1959, the
husky Carolinian's weigh-in was 191. Today, five
years later, he only weighs 195.
Hard work is keeping him in shape. Enos
played semi-pro ball in Wichita two years ago
and holds a baseball school each summer. As you
can see, the old pro just can't stay away from it.
Baseball to Slaughter is like hockey, basketball
or golf to many others. It's a sport that just
seems to be in his blood, Enos had the chance to
scout for big league clubs, but he gets the most
satisfaction of working with the minors and be-
ing able to come home to his family every night.
Old Enos is strictly major league. When
he worked in the 1946 World Series between the
Cards and the Red Sox, at least three illustrative
incidents portrayed the kind of ball player he
really was.
In the fourth game, the Red Sox had the
bases filled when Hal Wagner hit a towering fly
to deep right field. Rudy York tagged up on third
and jogged home with what he thought was an
easy automatic run. He never made it. Slaughter
made a tremendous throw to the plate to double
up the big Indian.
"What kind of baseball do they play in
this league?" was put into the record books after-
wards as a statement by York. "Slaughter made
an impossible throw. In our league the fielder
would have known it was an impossible and con-
ceded the run." He didn't know Slaughter very
well, because Enos never conceded anything in
his life. This was the kind of man he was.
In the fifth game, a Joe Dobson pitch
crashed sickeningly into Slaughter's elbow. The
pain was out of this world. Enos didn't even rub
his wound. He stoically trotted down to first. He
wouldn't give anyone the satisfaction of knowing
he was hurt. As an extra measure of his defiance,
Slaughter stole second base.
The series moved from Boston to St. Louis
and Dr. Robert Hyland packed icebags around
the elbow for the long and agonizing ride by
train for the final two games. The doctor finally
told Enos he- was through playing. Slaughter
yelled back "I ain't gonna do it. The fellers need
me, No matter what you say, I'm playin' ".
True to his words he played. He couldn't
throw, but he never let on he couldn't. He al-
ready had convinced the Red Sox that he was a
massive gunner and they didn't dare run on him.
He singled in a Cardinal run during the rally
that won the sixth game and then came through
with one of the classic performances of World
Series history to tally the winning run in the
deciding game.
With the score tied in the eighth, the Old
Warhorse rifled a single to centre. The next two
men were retired and Slaughter already was run-
ning when Haley "The Hat" Walker dumped a
shot into left-centre. If the Sox had built a brick
wall at each base they couldn't have stopped
Enos. He would have plowed right through them.
He tore around second. He tore around third,
Mike Gonzales was coaching at third base
and held up both hands. It was the stop sign.
Slaughter went through like a lady motorist.
Johnny Pesky, then the Red Sox shortstop and
now the Sox manager. took the relay from Leon
Culberson and wheeled toward the plate. He
froze in disbelief! That wild man, Slaughter, was
racing for home. The paralyzing moment of hes-
itancy was fatal With a thunderous slide the
man who glorified in doing the impossible com-
pleted his mission. He had just made the Cardi-
nals the champions of the world,
