SPORTS FRONT

By JIM CL'LLEN

Playboys Cause Trouble

. The 1964 World Series is over and out of the minds of lost of the sports fans. but a clipping from a New Y paper was brought to our attention and we felt it deserved mention. The heading read: d Guys and Good Guys Put £181 in the Middle. The story “em on to say. Yogi Berra wasn't by the ankee brass. His own players. both the m and the playboys pulled the. rug from under him. In . was one of the biggest plays in the history of baseball .e Night Riders o‘ the Yankees got out of control and the day people of the Yankees so resented it that they made it inpassible for Ralph Houk to keep Berra as manager. Bobby Richardson and Tony Kubeck stalled flatly that they would not return under Berra next season. Howla . another veteran. had this opinion: "The man can‘t control guys." Howard said honestly, Berra hoped that all would be cleared up when the Yasmin rallied and won the pennant. but he didn't know that his fate had been decided back in mid-August when the Bronx Bombers were stumbling along in the American League schedule. Swim- ming pool hi-jinx at night. in Hollywood. and vivid parties in Chicago and its suburbs. plus individual rules-breaking led to a “La Dolce Vita" group on one hand and a group of serious minded athletes on the other. There was bound to be a clash when it looked as though the Night Riders had blown the pen- . nan! and thus depriving the g . e “Harmonica Incident" was blown up out of pro- portion. but it did pinpoint the defiance of Berra's authority. Phil Linz isn't a bad guy in fact he rates with the good guys. The following is what really happened: On the afternoon of the final game a a series roommates Bo by Richardson and Tony Kubek bought a Billy Graham hymn book. It had musical notes corresponding to he words. Let Richardson's words tell the story from t. ere. "Tony and I decided we‘d like to sing the hymns and we wanted to have music. Harmonicas seemed right. So we started from the hotel to walk over to Marshall Field (department store) to buy them. Lino met us outside the hotel. had nothing to do and we invited him along. “We went up to the eighth floor where they sold har- monicas and Tony and I each bought one. We took the esca-

Linz. of course was imprudent enough to play the mouth organ on the bus enroute. to O'Hare Field after the Yanks had lost their fourth in a row the following afternoon. And he gassed Yogi when he was told to cut it out. The Yanks lost two more straight games a he team had returned to Boston. That’s the kind of ball club this was one set of guys playing hymns and the other set play- lng at Ihe Playboy Club.

Of course it didn't start in is one season as manager. It went on under Joe McCarthy. Bucky Harris. Gasey Stengel and Houk. But all four were strong enough to Jack up the night owls and make them play ball when the chlps were down. The after-hours activity led to the dismissal of Harris when he lost control in the. 1948 season.

Honk actually made up his mind that Berra could not handle the club in mid-August when he saw things for him- self on a road trip and it was then that he began to think of a successor for Yogi.

"I spent many a sleepless night thinking it over." Honk confided. “But I felt it was the right decisuzm for the good of the ball clulb

Actually the “inning of the pennant embarrassed the front office. in the sense that it made the firing of the lovable Yogi more difficult. But once Dan Topping. who runs the store for

BS. and Honk made up their minds, there was no changing. Yogi was a dead duck even if he had won the arid Series from the man who succeeded him so shortly thereafter.

Tid Bits From Here And There

The curling season will get underway at the Charlottetown curling club today and this will mark the earliest season opening to be held in these parts. Curling fever is running high in Charlottetown due to the fact that the MacDonald Tobacco Brier was held in Charlottetown last season. There is an in- creased membership at the local club this season and club officials are looking forward to a banner year
