Zurich Citizens News, 1958-10-01, Page 11WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1958 ZURICH Citizens NEWS PAGE ELEVEN SPO1ITS DIGEST By DON O'BRIEN (Citizens News Sportswriter) 'KINGS REACH ONTARIO FINALS AGAINST LATTA FIRST GAME SATURDAY at 2.30 An eighth inning outburst that produced four insurance runs gave the local Lumberkings a 10-5 victory against a deter- mined crew from Caledonia, and the O.B.A. Intermediate "C" semi-finals in two straight games. The Riversides, who had previously ousted Walsingham and Waterdown in their quest for the championship, were unable to get an earned run off local. hurler Bob White. The 'Kings will now advance into the Ontario finals against Latta, which is in the Belleville district. The first game in the best of three series will be held in Zurich this coming Saturday. Incidentally, the deer camp that Ivan and Earl Yungblut and Ferd and Jake Haberer have attended for years is in the same vicinity as Latta. By the way, anyone who would be interested in driving a load of players to Latta should get in touch with manager Tom Rawlings as soon as possible. Several fans have suggested that a bus be chartered for the game. However, since a bus would cost in the vicinity of $300 this idea seems highly improbable. * * * WORLD SERIES STARTS THIS WEEK The best four out of seven series between the Milwaukee Braves and the New York Yankees, representing the National • and American Leagues respectively, begins this Wednesday. Star lefthander Whitey Ford of the Yankees and Warren Spahn of the Braves will probably oppose each other in the series opener -while Lew Burdette, the hero of last year's classic, will probably be opposed by the Yankees top winner this season—"Bullet" Bob Turley in the Thursday, contest. The third contest on Saturday will probably see the Braves rookie hurler, Carleton Willey, hooking up with Don "Perfect Game" Larsen, of the Yankees. Bob Rush, Bob Buhl, Don McMahan and Juan Pizzarro will be Fred Haney's top relief choices, while Casey Stengel will probably call on fireballer Ryne Duren, Duke Maas, Bobby Shantz • or Art Ditmar in case any of his starters run into difficulty. The Braves starting line-up will probably look something like this: Red Schoendist 2b; Johnny Logan ss; Eddie Mathews 3b; Hank Aaron rf; Frank Torre lb; Joe Adcock If; Billy Burten cf; Del Crandall c; and Warren Spahn p. Here's the probable starting line-up for the Yankees: Hank Bauer rf ;Gil McDougall 2b; Mickey Mantle cf; Yogi Berra c; Mouse Skowron 1b; Norm Seibern lf; Tony Kubek ss; Andy Carey 3b and Whitey Ford p. As both managers do .a certain amount of platooning, Wes Covington and Felix Mantilla of the Braves, and Elston Howard and Jerry Lumpe of the -Yankees, will definitely see quite a bit • of work. We pick the Yankees in seven or possibly even six games to capture the honours. * SPORTS POST SCRIPTS ..-lots Off To , Bob White for his excellent display of control pitching in the second game of the semi-final series with Caledonia. Doug "Red" Theander for his three key hits and two r.b.i.'s in Zurich's 10-5 victory, Saturday afternoon. Doug O'Brien for his successful theft of home with what proved to be the winning run after his two -out triple in the sixth inning. Williams and Ashburn Win Batting Crowns Ted Williams has done it again. The brilliant slugger of the 16oston Red Sox won his sixth American League batting crown since his arrival at Boston's Fenway Park in 1939. Moreover, the powerful thumper lost four of these years as a pilot in the second world war and Korean war. Williams' .328 batting was good enough to shade team-mate Pete Runnels and Detroit Tiger star Harvey Kuenn. The 40 -year-old Williams won the title last year with an average in the .380 vicinity. The perennial National League leader, Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals, lost his bid for his seventh title when a severe charley -horse made it impossible for him to compete reg- ularly during the final month. While the Cardinal veteran was inactive, Richie Ashburn, of the Philadelphia Phillies, and Willie Mays, of the San Francisco Giants, both former champions, passed Musial's .338 mark. Ashburn of the Phillies won the title on the last day of the season with a mark of .350. Clinton District Girl Wins $100 Bill Jean McGregor, of RR 5, Clinton, won the Zurich Lumber - kings lucky draw on Saturday. Jerry Ronnie of the 'Kings, sold the winning ticket. d the tar a►_ .
