Five World Records Are In Jeopardy At Relays

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Eive world records seemed in leop- ardy Friday as a huge ﬁeld awaited tonight's 32nd running of the west coast relays.

Three world record-holders are competing in field events and night eclipse their marks in the pole vault, shot put and high

hard-driven puck by Ottawa-Hull Canadians’ forward Gilles Trem-

jump. Other records in danger are the discus and mile relay. Bolb Gutowski, who cleared 15 feet 9’/4 inches in the pole vault last year for a world record, heads the field in his event. The occidental college star faces at least three others who have cleared .15 feet-R)on Morris, for-

_ number of runs.

Bob Scheffing, manager of the Chicago Cubs, throughout most of 1957 would hardly have made people sit up and take notice had he made many public utterances.

Right now he’: very much in the limelight because his cubs are snarling at everybody they encounter in the National. To Scheffing certainly must go some of the credit for the club’s lofty perch. So when he makes a statement these days, it’s natural that folks pay more attention to him.

After his Cubs were subdued in the opener of their recent series with Fred Haney’: Milwaukee Braves, Sdliefﬂng was out to give credit where credit was due. Warren vsopahn had beaten them but he hadn't overpowered them. The Cubs gotfour runs and nine hits off Warren but the Braves finished up with double that

“If he ever has to quit pitching,” Scheffing said of the Braves’ aoo, “he ought to be‘ able to make a living as an outﬁelder."

Scheffing’s point was well taken. For Spahn did not beat the Cubs solely with the left arm that has made him one of baseball’: greatest pitchers. He also beat them with his bat, getting three hits in four times up and driving in three runs.

Yes, that afternoon Spahn was a better hitter than a pitcher. Ila doubled twice, singled once and_ even laid down a sacrifice bunt.

You certainly have read plenty about the Dodgers’ famed

Cdiseum but we feel you can still stand a wee bit more. So here It go. , Statistics for the first nine games played there show that 82% ol the balls hit to left field fall for base hits and of those hits, every sixth one is a home run. Thirty homers had been hit in those nine games. ' ‘

only 18% of the fly bails hit to left field in those games at the Coliseum were caught. In centre and right ﬁeld, 67% were caught. All 30 home runs were hit either to left field on left centre.

In other National League parks, only 10% of all base hits have been homers. In Los Angeles, every sixth hit was a home run.

Of the first 111 ﬂy balls hit to right and centre field, 38 fell safe and 73 were caught by fielders roaming in the Coliseum outfield.

Home runs? None.

Horace Stoneham, president of the San -Francisco Giants, has turned down an offer to televise away from home games on a non-profit basis.

Westinghouse Broadcasters said they were willing to handle the games through its San Francisco station on a non-fee basis, paying only line charges and staff salaries to sponsors.

Stoneham shrugged his shoulders and said the club wasn’t interested. 4- .

The old saying that a ball game is never over until the final out_was more than proved this week on two occasions in the major leagues.

San Francisco went into the ninth trailing Pittsburgh Pirates 11-1 and folks got up and left the park in droves. They missed the best part of the afternoon show as the Giants rallied for nine runs, just missing tying up tlﬁ encounter by a single tally.

Thursday afternoon the fast moving Chicago Cubs held an 8-2 lead as the. Cincinnati Redlegs came to bat in the top of the ninth. The Cubs had split a doubleheader with the Reds to open the five game series, then had proceeded to take the third and fourth games and seemed certain to win the series by a 4-1 margin. But the Birdie Tebbets coached gang finally came to life with a display of power that had been] previously predicted of them. They sent eight runners scam-pering across home plate to tire a 10-8 lead which the Cubs couldn’t overcome -in their half of the ninth. _ ’

The Cubs themselves did a bit of overhauling last week and Grey picked on the Milwaukee Braves for the humiliation. They trailed the Braves 7-0 as late as the sixth yet they won the battle by an 8-7 score.

It’s happenings such as these that -make baseball the great game it is.

O O O U I

Mlilwaukee Braves must certainly feel that they need Wes Covington’s bat to stay in the thick of the National League race.

Wes returned to the lineup in timelto see the Milwaukee club blow that 7-0 lead to the Chicago Cubs. Covington celebrated his return by slamming a home run but it wasn’t enough to hold Bob Scheffing’s boys in Check.

Wes injured his knee in an exhibition game April 8 and the husky left fielder has had plenty of trouble with it ever since. He made no errors, no ﬂy balls fell for hits that shouldn't have. But the effort it took to get moving and his wobbly gait once

he did get underway were proof that the Braves desperately needed his bag bat.

Suggestions made by’ the Summerside rep- resentatives were that a higher registration fee be charged to an outside team. and that the extra charge be put in the league fund to defray expenses. A tentative agreement on the matter of schedule was made in that each team would play at Summerside once a month.
