' eve '- the team that nobody gave any chance a short timeTlggo ofnhlilagking the City Softball League playoffs find selves opponets of The Junior Basilica Youth Club in the seam-final mug: B.I S. Shamrocks are the outfit that . while most of the Other teams were piling up much coveted'pomts. They are the same crew that managed to salvage four walls in their first 22 starts. They are the, same gang that refused to be- lieve that their chances were all used up and that then- playoff

had com letel vanished. ' hopfi’s true Juhior B.Y.C. finished on top in the regular schedule, but it’s also true that the same Juniors are not taking anything for granted in this playoff series with the Fighting’ Irish. The Shamrocks had fairly good-success mth the Juniors in re- gular play. B.Y.C. lmow that full \well and aren’t making any rash predictions about the outcome of this best-ohfive set.

If memory serves us right it was Liguorlan Youth Club a few years back that just managed to squeeze into the playoffs and then ran away with the league championship. Mind. you, we are not predicting the Irish are going to duplicate the feat of the L.Y.C. but history does have a habit sometimes of repeating itself.

The know that they have the chance of a lifetime and they believe to a man that they can go all the way. But before they even make the final round they must dispose of the B.Y.C_ and that looks like quite an order. The regular schedule winners have a pretty fair softball team, otherwise they would never have finished on top in regular season play.

The Irish must beat fellows alike hurlers john Hughes,. Mike O’Brien and Father Roche. They must sidelines team that all sum- mer has played fine defensive ball. And they must stop fellows like Frank “Bull” Dunn, Apps Arsenault and a few others from slamming the ball all over the lot.

“It’s a tall order and one that even the Fightin’ Irish will . have much trouble in carrying out. We’ll just wait and see. .

Tonight’s game is a‘big one and the winner will be in the driver’s seat, no question. about that.

So don’t miss the action which gets underway at 5.45 at Memorial Field. It should be. a real thriller.

The great majority of major league pitchers are mighty use- less when it comes to swinging a bat. A few fellows like Don Newcombe, DonLarsen, Mickey McDermott and Warren Spahn were exceptions to the rule but the most of the other hurlers are lucky if they get one in 20 trips to the plate.

Los Angeles pitcher Carl Erskine doesn’t think it’s strange that moundsmen make such a poor showing at the plate.

Erskine claims that pitchers can’t hit for the same rea- son that they don’t bring (in Snider or Mays or Aaron to pitch. Carl argues that although these great Sluggers have strong arms, heir abillifty doesn’t lie in pitching. Pitching, claims Carl, is an art in

SE . ‘

Erskine continues: “The same principle a lies to 'tche s hitters. It‘s not just their cup of tea. pp pm m 8

I’ve always maintained that a pitcher at bat should concen- trate _on not striking out, If he only bounces the ball back to the opposing pitcher or makes some infielder handle the ball, he has a. chance to ove men on the bases. It’s inexcusable to walk a pitcher. You should bear down on him as hard as you do on a slugger, because he figures to be an automatic out. Since pitchers

. aren’t expected to hit anyway, they don’t pursue it like the play- ers Qwho have to hit to hold their jobs. But that doesn’t mean that a pitcher is less an athlete than a fence buster." '

There was a total of 91 dash- es, of which 16 were for trotters and 75 for pacers. The fastest mile trotted was by Blake Han- over 2.09 4-5, owned by Stanley Mayhew, Kinkora, P. E.

The leading driver of the meet- ing was Clark Smith of Hunter River. He is the youngest driv- er to win such an award in the history of Maritime r a c i n g. “Clarkie,” as his friends call him, was born in Hunter River on August 6, 1937, so has just passed his let. birthday.
