Dodgers Crush White' Sox In*Sixth Game To Take 1959 World Series

CHICAGO (UPI) — It was baseball's glory road for the Los Angeles Dodgers today, and heartbreak highway for the Chicago White Sox. The Dodgers were the new champions of the baseball world, another Cinderella team. Los Angeles closed it out in style Thursday, crushing the White Sox 9-3 back in their own park to bring the Far West it’s first championship in a series noted for new records—in money, attendance, hitting and pitching. It will long be remembered as one of the most unusual series of all time. It drew a record total attendance of 420,784 — thanks to three record breaking crowds in Los Angeles; a record total of $2,626.973.44, any number of hitting marks and series in which no pitcher went the distance. Sherry Does Trick But there was one pitcher who did the trick. He was 24-year-old Larry Sherry, who began the season in the minors — at St. Paul — and came up to the Dodgers to become their biggest weapon. He won two games, including the biggest one Thursday, and saved two others. In another game, he was used as a pinch-hitter. “You’d have to say he did the job for us,” commented Dodger Manager Walter Alston in baseball's understatement of the year. He sure did. When Dodger starter, southpaw Johnny Podres faltered Thursday behind an 8-0 lead. Sherry, the cocky kid making good for his home town of Los Angeles, came jn to save the day. He turned back the White Sox on four hits in five and two-thirds innings of another brilliant relied effort, climaxing one of the best clutch hurling efforts in series history. He won the fourth game, and saved two others.

So his record was eight hits yielded and one run allowed in 12 2-3 innings of pitching. He was the difference. z Alston Praises Others But Alston in paying tribute to his Dodgers—and he was confident all the way that they would hit the jackpot—singled out others besides Sherry. They included Duke Snider, with his ailing knee; Gil Hodges, with his big bat; Carl Furillo and Chuck Essegian with their pinch hitting; catcher Johnny Roseboro wth his throwing which kept the go-go Sox from going very far and a number of others. It was a series of stars for the Dodgers—plus one of the most riotous innings in series history. That was the fourth Thursday. It took 42 minutes to play it and when it was all over the Dodgers had scored six runs—to add to two they had plated earlier on Snider’s 11th series home run—and the White Sox had tallied three. There were five pitchers in the inning, two pinch hitters and one pinch runner. It was the final chapter in the greatest comeback baseball ever had seen. Seventh Last Year For when they left Brooklyn for California's baseball gold dust in 1958, the Dodgers wound up a dismal seventh. They atoned for it in 1959—and did it the hard way. They tied Milwaukee for the National League pennant, won it in a playoff series, and then downed the White Sox, four games to two, in the series. There had been a lot of rags-to-richeS epics in baseball, but none ever rivaled this. For the White Sox, it was frustration. They wanted so much to win and those 1919 memories. But as their manager Al Lopez said as he congratulated Alston in the dressing room: “You deserved to win. We gave it all we had—it wasn’t enough.” “You went down like champions,” Alston replied.

Junior High Wallops Columbia City, 39-0 The Decatur junior high came out a fired up ball club Thursday night at Worthman field, completely outclassing Columbia City’s junior high as four boys tallied six touchdowns, crushing the visitors, 390, before about 200 pleased fans. After building up a 25-0 half time bulge, the junior high boys were put into three units with the first team playing barely more than a quarter of the entire game. The second team and third teams failed to score on the Columbia City eleven, but it wasn’t until the fourth quarter that Columbia City gained its first first down. At the half, he Decatur version of the “White team and the Chinese bandits” did not allow the visitors a solitary gain. Every play started out “first and ten, and ended up second and a little more than 10 yards to go.” Line play was terrific. Joe Hess started off the Decatur rout by romping 11 yards over his right end on the sixth play of the game. To start the contest, Decatur kicked o ffto Columbia City, hit hard, recovered a fumble on the second play, then marched to the touchdown on four end runs after a fullback spinner brought a secund and four situation. Then quarterback Dave Anspaugh called for an end-around with Max Elliott outdistancing the opposition for the second tally. Ed Kohne bulled over for the point, making it 13-0. Decatur’s line forced another fumble, and Anspaugh again called on Elliott around end. Fierce Ibocking paved the way for touchdown No. 3. 19-0. Gregg Ladd broke through the entire Columbia City team returning a punt some 50 yards for the fourth marker just before halftime. Ed Kohne then took aim after the intermission and hit Elliott on the goal line with a perfect aerial, but Elliott missed They huddled, came out, and Kohne threw the same pass to the same man and it clicked for the score. Dick Ortiz ramiqed over for the point after. Again in the third quarter. Kohne Wied «w?r from the 5 for the last Id. John Custer sneaked across the point after and the final margin read: Decatur 39, Columbia City 0.

The ageless wonder of the Montreal Canadiens whipped a 40-foot screen shot past Boston goalie Harry Lumley at 14:16 of the first period Thursday night at Montreal and the defending champions went on to gain a 4-1 victory over the Bruins in the season opener for both teams.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Moore, Gaunt Are Winners In C.C. Golf Dave Moore won the 12th annual Chamber of Commerce golf championship in the members bracket and Kenny Gaunt was first in the non-members bracket, each winning a handsome trophy, Thursday afternoon. “The only real security in life is the ability to come back and keep trying regardless of what happens to you,” Tiny Heemstra, former professional football star and now a Decatur employe of the Central Soya company, told the 75 Chamber members and golfers who assembled at the west shelter house for the chicken dinner following the golf match. Dick Wertzberger and Bill Kunhnle made the awards, and George Laurent was master of ceremonies and chairman. Other Prizes Other winners were: 4 second prize, low gross actual, Roger Foor; third prize, second low gross actual, George Morningstar; closest to flag on No. 1, Ted Hill; on No. 4, Bill Kuhnle; on No. 7, Noah Steury; on No. 8, Willard Mcßride; highest actual score, tied, Palmer Inniger and Bill Lose; most comically dressed golfer, Richard Eichhorn. Golf balls were given as door prizes. Laurent introduced the newcomers to Decatur since the last tourney. Before the close of the evening, Jack Zehr demonstrated his fine putting skill by missing an eight-foot shot (with a substituted trick ball.) Heemstra Speaks Heemstra thanked the group for his prize, and told them that the only other prize he had ever received for golfing was in Wisconsin once for being the most disguested golfer. In a recent tournament that he played in there were the first, second, third, and fourth flights, and then Tiny’s flight. He said he blamed Luke Majorki for selling him a ladies’ ball to play the nine holes. The career of Heemstra started in 1934 with the Chicago Cardinals after his graduation from Illinois in agriculture—he was born in the Netherlands, but raised on an Illinois farm, and' farming was his life. He related several colorful incidents that happened while he played three years in pro ball, including his newly-arrived Dutch uncle’s description of the first football game he saw. He , ' plained that in those days the players were good, all-around athletes, but would probably find it impossible to play in this day of specialists. He was large, toll, and fast, and was picked to play because he could reach up and stop short passes, and was still fast enough to catch runners. Tough Career Heemstra advised not to try for pro football, became it is much easier to make a living just as well in other fields, and big-league football is very hard to tfet into. ♦ j He stated that he had planned to stay in pro ball for 12 years and buy a few farms each year with his earnings, and eventually become a big farmer in However, in November, 1936. he was injured so severely that he could neither play nor farm again. So, when he got out of the hospital in January, 1937, he asked one of his acquaintances in General Motors for a job in selling, and worked his way up to become the youngest district manager by 1940 But again fate stepped in, and he was called to active duty for 58 months during the Second World War. Afterward, he started over with a feed company, and was doing very well. He was an executive vice-president, and the president was approaching retirement, and again his future seemed secure. But then one large grain company bought the company for which he worked, and seven others, and with all of the persidents and vice-presidents, he was relegated to a minor position. So he resigned and started over again, farming his farm for awhile before coming to work for Central Soya. Heemstra’s warm humor kept the group interested during the entire program; following the talk games were played.

Frosh-Sophomore Team Is Defeated A highly improved Bishop Luers football team crushed an amazed Decatur freshman - sophomore team Thursday night following the junior high route of Columbia City, as the smooth functioning Fort Wayne football players waltzed to a 49-7 pummelling. Decatur opened the scoring with Steve Marbach climaxing a 60yard march, tallying the TD on a pass from Dave Gay. Ron Thieme added the PAT on a plunge and Decatur led 7-0 with five minutes of the first quarter remaining. With a little more than four minutes remaining, the score was knotted 7-7 as the newly formed Catholic school came back strong. The keynote of the Bishop Luers attack centered on the quarterback’s signal calling. Instead of calling numbers, he called, “Go, go, go,” and go his team did, chalking up seven touchdowns and conversions to romp over the team that earlier in the season had belted them 26-0. The Decatur team, however, was without the services of the six boys who have been elevated to varsity status. The improvement, however, of the visiting team could not have been thwarted. With only freshmen and sophormores at the school, the officials there want to play Decatur’s varsity next season with juniors, sophomores, and freshmen. They recently bowed to a tough Central Cathode frosh-Roph team, 13-0, and the C. C. boys have been romping all over first class opposition all season. Decatur And Bluffton Play Here Tonight Tonight’s Northeastern Indiana conference battle between the Decatur Yellow Jackets and the Bluffton Tigers at Worthman field will get underway at 8 o’clock. The Jackets, desperate for their first victory of the season, hope to break the jinx that has thwarted their every scoring attempt this year, when they tangle with their long-time rivals from Wells county.
