' BASEBALL IS MAKING ITS final fling this weak end with the exception of the 1965 World Series which will open next Wednesday unless ;| tie develops in the National League race It is always kind of sad to see a has •• boll season pass although the season is plenty long < nough. What really hurts is that last two or three weeks when the teams are In a light Schedule if they don’t have many make up games and the race is decided. EVIIN THOUGH THE AMEKtean League wasn’t clinched mathematically until just over a week remained. Minnesota had it in the bag for quite some time barring a complete collapse. Howevr. the ran for the other money potion*. second, third and fourth, continued light down to the wire. But this still doesn’t hire the fans out as inter, st begins dropping, as much of the w ather isn’t "baseball weather" and also the many minor league is arc brought up and put in th. lineup for the last few weeks to fn ■• what they have to offer for ti. • futmv ' THE NATIONAL LEAGUE IS n little different On<e again the b til. was between several teams Until almost the end and this k« ops the baseball at fevei pitch Until it is ite. hied The great Na-

tional League rac« s the past few years have been something to witness and again, a winner did not repeat in the Senior circuit. THIS YEAR BROUGHT A collection <>f real oddities along with ome real good baseball. Just about everything happened that could really put that element of Fin-prise in the game Several triple plays were reconied. which isn’t unusual, but the way som ( of them came about is. The ordinary triple play in baseball results from either a line drive being scared and quickly whipped t< two bases, or el ea sensational catch of a ball that looks like il is sure to drop in stalls it. However *h)< year, two in particular caught the eye of the fans ONE HAPPENED IN WRIGley Fit Id as the Cubs-were playing th* Braves. It started with a foul p< p up behind the plate with runners on fint and thijxl. What resulted from this routine pop up shouldn t have happened to the o’«l Brew klyn Dodgers who had about everything happen. Aftei the catch, tip runner on _first broke ter sefond. blit the throw to second . based him back towards fir-t At this t.me the nmm r fr..m thind had tagged up and u.i- streaking ' townrijs Jinma plate A Mum throw *to thpitcher ( ov. ring the platff yra.-ed-

this man. hut the man on first set out again for second. The pitcher’s throw to second naib-d him sliding in for one of the wierd ones. ANOTHER HAPPENED IN the White Sox Park in a gam with the Tigers. With runners on first and second, a strike out start.xi this one. With a hit-and-run on, tlie ball was thrown t third and the runner decided h. was a dead duck and started back to .second with the third baseman in pursuit. A surprise throw to first caught two Sox runners hung up ami the throw back to thud fried a run hack to the hag where the runner from first was comfortably percheci. At this jxiint. the shortstop, now with the ball, tagged both runners, putting the one from first ouL However, the runner who started on second walked off the bag thinking he had been out and a se< ond tag there eliminated him. SOME OTHER WIERD PLAYS resulted in other games with just a couple to mention One featured the Cubs again with the Phillies wh» n two runners for the Phillies end< I on third. The Cub catcher tagg< d the one entitled to the hag while they stood sidr-by-side. and he walked off the bag only to have a screaming base conch urge him home instead of the dugout H. walked across untouclusl Mll AV AUKE E WA S MIX EI) up in another crucial play with th Giants late in the season when the Braves had to win to stay in < ontention. With the .-cure tied 2 in the eighth in County stadium and a Giant runner on fust a bunt scored the man with die h<-!p of the mental error by he Brave first baseman. /Xn int< ivied sacrifice turned into quit a bunt when the first baseman I. t it roll, thinking it was going ‘otil Just at the minute he thoug t it rolled foul, he picked up the ball as the iimner crossed the bag and heard the umpire say 'fair ball". Boom, down went th, ball and up went his temper. Meanwhile. zoom, went the runner from fir t as he kept right on running to score all the way from first Result: the Giants w-n the important game and th. first bas* man who freely told the umpire what he thought, end’d up with a fine ami suspension plus a slightly red face ANOTHER ODD ONE WAS recorded in Comisky Pa l: when the alert bao running of the Sox ended up in an argument between a Cleveland player and his manager who had all the lip he was about to take and thumb'd his own second baseman out of a game, and in only the second inning As for sconng. how about this one? The ■’save" now giv« n a relief pitcher has Iwiiw a farce in many instanr« s This ruling on a save reads that a re’.ii f pitcher should receive credit for a save if he enters the game in the 7th. Sth or 9th innings and the lying or winning run either comes to the plate < r is on base. Manager L<»Pvz of the Whit.- Sox has been known to take a pitcher out with two out u the ninth i • a one-run game wh -n the pitcher may have pitched i beauty, but still Ahc is hefri gt t a man out <»*• even n’sv nut ore >n before retiring ri batter to get credit for

his "save". BUT A SITUATION IN A game Involving Washington and Baltimore this year proved the complete farev this ruling can be. In a one-run ball game with Washington ahead in the ninth, the Orioles had a runner on second with two out. In <ame a reliever and boom, the fust pitch is hit .‘harply for a single in right field. A fine throw nips the runner at the plate, the game is over, and the reliever who <lid n< thing to a..J the victory, gets credit for another save. This may not mean ho much but a special awaid is given the top "save" pitchers in each league each yeat OF COURSE. THREE BATting practice incidents got into the headlines this year also, two as hitters took batting practice at opposing players, and the third when teammates took it out on each other at the batting cage in the before game practice. The most famous has to be the Juan Marachial - J< hn Roseboro incident which ended up with Rowboro suffering a cut on the h< ad from Marachihrs bat. Wurdcrful Juan received a fine of 11.750 00 and an eight day FUSf>en’ ! inn which grw two additional days later when the two teams met again and he was barred from even going into Los Angeles However, this story in this r - porter’s eye wasn’t justly >ett’ <l A picture in "The Sporting News" showed a mad Roseboro charging Marachise IxTore the bat was

raised and still to be figured out is why a right-handed throwing catcher should ever nip the ear of a right-handed batter on a throw back tn the mound. Roseboro got off very easy. LATE IN THE SEASON THE Cleveland second base man Padro Gonzale-> hit Detroit's Larry Sherry with a bat for whizzing a fast one high and inside. He got a SSOO 00 fine and suspended for the la. c t 12 days of the season for this one. The teammates Richie Allen and Frank Thomas, mixed it up by the batting cage for the Phillies one day and results: Allen smacks Thomas with a fist so Thomis retaliates and hashes Allen with a bat Tun days later. Thomas is looking for a job as the Phils dropped him, but he was quickly picked up because ho is the type player a team in the pennant race eould use. MAYBE IT IS TIBS KIND OF thing that makes baseball "America’s National Pastime." The good play or the goofy play can boll, make the fans turn out and the unexpected is one of the big factois of baseball's popularity. Oh. yes. one other oddity of the 1965 sea-son. the Yankix's finishing m second division Sociable Animals tend to eat more when they have company, biologists say A chicken that has already stuffed itself will start eating a am if placed with one that is feeding.
