The Putnam County Banner-Graphic, May 11,1984
Baseball tourney is moved By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor Providing it is dry enough, the Greencastle-IHSAA baseball sectional will be played at DePauw University’s Walker Field May 29 and June 2, according to Greencastle High School Athletic Director Doug Miller. DePauw and coach Ed Meyer have made the new facility available for the six-team sectional tournament despite the university’s team only got to play one inning of an official lame on it this spring due to wet leather. : MILLER SAID THE tour fnament was being moved across town “for the adjninistration of the tournament and it is simply a better The IHSAA has given permission for the tournament to be played at either DePauw or at Greencastle High School and, according to Miller, it will be played at the high school if Walker Field is too wet. As in the past South Putnam, Cloverdale, Cascade, Danville, Van Buren and Greencastle have been assigned to this sectional. North Putnam is once again in the North Montgomery sectional with Crawfordsville, Southmont, Western Boone and North Montgomery. The draw for the 18th annual state tournament is May 17 in Indianapolis. Miller emphasized Greencastle’s field is still one of the finest fields in this area. It has been playable this spring when DePauw’s facilities have not. In fact, DePauw .played its only complete home game against Oakland City at Greencastle High School. BUT WITH THE move to Walker Field the short right field fence no longer represents the short home run ball and many a fly ball will become outs. Walker Field measures 331 feet down the left and right field foul lines and 400 feet to straight away center field. Along with submerged dugouts for the participating teams, fans will have seating along the first and third base foul lines looking down upon the field. And down the third base foul line, just in foul territory behind left field will be a new electric scoreboard. DePauw could not play on the diamond this spring because of a drainage problem. Purdue University experts were called in and advised DePauw to correct the problem by “plugging’ the infield with chemicals that will improve drainage. WHILE THE sectional will be the first at DePauw, it is expected to be the last for Van Buren High School. Next year Van Buren and Staunton will be consolidated with Brazil.

International Olympic Committee President Juan Antonio Samaranch, Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee President Peter Ueberroth, Reagan and Democratic presidential hopeful Jesse Jackson have all become involved in efforts to stop more defections from the games. The official Soviet news agency Tass today said Reagan’s statements that he regrets the walkout by Moscow and some of its allies are “hypocritical expressions” that were nothing more than a “common gimmick” to hide his anti-Soviet feelings. Samaranch, a former Spanish ambassador to the Soviet Union, has asked Marat Gramov, head of the Soviet National Olympic Committee, to arrrange a meeting with Soviet leader Konstantin Chernenko “within the next few days.” The lOC president was expected today to release the contents of a letter that President Reagan sent to the Soviets emphasizing that every athlete is

Meanwhile, Ueberroth said he also was willing to go to Moscow to appeal for a nonboycotted Olympics but said he expected to continue receiving “a one-a-day bitter pill from country after country” in the Eastern bloc. Jackson met in Washington on Thursday with Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin, but a spokesman for the embassy said Dobrynin told Jackson that there is little chance the decision will be changed. The East German pullout, which came despite the arrival there of a delegation selected by the Los Angeles organizing committee, would deprive the Games of some of the world’s finest female swimmers,
