DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Today's Sport Parade ( (Keg. U. S. Pat Off.) | By Oscar Fraley ' —*—• New York, July 17.—(TJP) — Bigger men than Mickey Mantle have shed .tears over deep diamonu disappointments. Tears welled in Maptie's babv blue eyes Sunday when the Yankees handed him his walking papers to Kansas City, but the naive, 19-year-old 'needn’t be of them. ’T’ve been playing professional baseball for the past 15 years," pointed out\ veteran Pittsburgh infielder Danny Murtaugh tqday, "and I’ve yet to\ see * guy smile when he was handed his release. Drawing an unconditional release or being sent from the majors down to the minors haa, the same effect on most players’ .stomachs as plummeting from the "9th floor to the lobby on an express elevator. When big Wab Dropo drew , his ticket to thef minors from the Red Sox recently,' team-mates claim he was so"choked up with amotion" that hd could hardly talk. Heartbreak probably is,far more common in baseball than in any other professional sport. Competit‘on is so keen that often bosom buddies figuratively fight for the’ same piece of baseball bread and" I utter. I Bobby Young, slick-fielding St. Louis Brown second sacker, recalls the time he was forced to ‘•hurt’’, one of his best friends. "Eddie Kazak, who used to play with the Cardinals, wasf one of the best friends I ever had." Young says. "We were both fighting for tn infield job. with Rochester on yeas and finally the time came* for one of us to he sent away. \ < "Kazak . hgd worked like’ a demon to make good but then they told him he didn't make it. I guess I should have fel( glad to have won but when I saw how badly Eddie took it, I sure didn’t fee. like celebrating.” Tlfiere have beeri several other cases here players had to brush back the teaijs so Mantle needn’t feel alone in his misery. When Burly Jeff Heath broke his leg sliding into heme plate after the Braves already had clinched the tiennant in 1948, there was a tract of moisture in his eyes as he lay vith his foot propped up in a hos pltal bed. . | U “For 12 years; I’ve waited and\ hoped to get into a world series,’f he said brokenly. “I was so close tio it now I even could taste it. Then something like this has to happen.,.” The late Lou Gehrig, touched beyond words, wept unashamedly riegr the end of his career w hen a capacity crowd turned out at Yankee Stadirfin to pay him homage and bid'him farewell. Those who were on the sans club insist Babe Ruth nursed th r crest-falleii- look of a man sent into exile when he cleaned out his

Handed his "pink sllps”-*ohly , it was brown instead of pink—by ' the Beaver Falls, Pa., cs|b of the (lass D Penn State association, f this particular youth, sauntered off into a Corner of a clubhouse and t bawled like aiwld who just found out there rea|lly isn’t any Santa f Claus. "Go ahe&d kid,” comforted the I manager, "have a good cry. I’ve . been in this game A long time and Ive seen some of the best of ’em break down when they got the ’ bad news. You’ll get over it after awhile.’’ That manager as only partially } right. 1 have’t really gotten over it yet.
