' A Strange Coincidence

The weatherman can't he a baseball fan. Fine performan- ces should have beautiful set- tings. Everything was back- ward in our last two baseball g’ames at Summerside; 'Ilhe wea- ther was ideal for the first one. and the game was strictly sand- l'ot. Last Thursday the weather as» Well. we can't describe the -weather‘ and day on terms with the censors --- and the game was definitely a crowd pleasel‘. with not mu

anyone leaving. We didn't think we could shiver through more than a. couple of innings. but we stayed to see t end the game. Gerry Smith and Don- nie Schurman hooked up in a pitchers' battle. but there was enough hitting-and snappy field- ing to keep things interesting. Looks as if Summerside ball tossers play better when the weather is worse,

Two throws. one from shal- low centre field. one from 'the' catcher.‘ were a- little off target and went through the third sacker to ve the RCAF Eagles the necessary

runs to beat Enam Drug 4':

at the station diamond yea-

terday. The throw from cen-

tre didn’t have a hope to catch the runner. even if it had

been a perfect peg. The

catchers throw might have

nipped the runner who was- diving back to third. With a

third baseinan. a coach; a baseludge. and a runner all cluttering up the picture

it made the target a bit com-

pllcated for the catcher even

if only one of the quartet was

lot of' those throws go astray.

In. another play. an Eagle bat" for would have been out. But

two Ensnan players watched

the ball roll along outside

the e and it could

have been played while it was

still foul. Then the batter would have been out. But two Enman

players watched the ball curve

into 'falr te ‘ giving

the batter a base hit. Next

time fellows, don't just stand here. Well. we’ll admit It takes quick thinking and it’s a lot easier to re nd a player of his mistakes than it is to do the thing right yourself.

It Doesn’t Necessarily Apply

In the "game of the week" between Detroit and New York. Mickey Mantle hunted on his third strike, and thi happens occasionally in the .big leagues. Mick’s bunt was fair but he was thrown out at first. Be- cause the big leaguors do this mce in a while. it does n follow that bush leaguers should do it. The boys in the big time are better trained and less like- IV to hunt foul than the boys In our- local leagues. and the possibility of being put out is less Of course. there is a cer- tain element of surprise here. but the percentages are against
