THE DODGERS DID IT • ain. Behind the very strong ft arm of Sandy Koufax, the . >s Angeles Dodgers won the I>»6 National La-ague pennant ad will meet the Baltimore Oriob s in the Woild Series. Winning his year broke quite a string of years where a team didn't repeat iS 'he old Milwaukee Braves were e last to claim two titles in a ? »w, that being in the late fifties.

FOR YEARS THE NATIONAL League has had tremendous finishes as they did again this .season. Most of these years it was one-sidi-d in the American league and that was the case again this year, only in the past two years it hasn’t been the Y'ankees that have been doing the winning. In fact history was made in the Junior loop this year when the once-powerful Yankees finished in last place, and this year that is tenth. Baltimore romped most of the year untouched as they outdistanced the field in gaining their first pennant. A COUPLE OF TRADES HAD great bearing on the two winners this year. Baltimore had the benefit of the one that has to be classed as one of the great trades in many years when they obtained Fiank Robinson from Cincinnati for a couple of pit« hers. Robinson only won the triple crown this year, batting, home runs and runs batted in without his big bat. the finish of the Orioles might have been quite different. His tiemenI 71^57^ Friday, Saturday — October 7-8 What A lx»ver! What A Une! What A Romeo! What A Riot!

dous season lias to be one of the outstanding individual efforts of many years, not only because he won the triple crown, but because he carried the Oriole s to such heights in doing this. THE OTHER TRADE WAS one that when it happi-ned, there probably wasn't an eyebrow raised anywhere. This was the trade of second line players between the Dodgers and Detroit Tigers. Detroit sent pitcher Phil Regan to the Dodgers for utilityman Dick Trezewski. R<-gan had been given every clumce in Detroit's book and only one year did he pay off dividends. His performance last season was such he was sent back to the minors for most of the season. He just could not win as a starter in the big leagues. However, the Dodgers, with their strong front line, made him a reliever in their plans and the way he came through from here on out was something to behold. On every pennant winner, especially in a close race, there seems to pop up an outstanding reliever and this was Regan's job this year. THE WORLD SERIES BEgins this Wednesday, weather permitting, and of course is the best of seven games. Los Angeles has been sharp and playing hard which th»-y had to be to win the National League pennant. On the other hand, Baltimore has had leads of ten games or more almost consist<-ntly since the middle of July and certainly weren't playing the best ball t(>r the past few weeks. They had room for a letdown and it showed. They had trouble with pitchers staying healthy and now all of a sudden they have to regain top form and hit the best peak in just a couple of days. This is for all the chips and the letdowns they have suffered must disappear or they won't win the series. MOST EXPERTS SAY PITCHing wins the short series. This is । usually true, those great mound performances must be present to win games in th** World Series and the Itodgers have the best in < the business in Koufax. He pitch-i-d Thursday night in St. Louis and came back on Sunday to win the clim-hei in the second game of the double header. He might nM a Ittle more rest liefore his first appearam-e in th«* scries but has been pit< hing on a every fourth day basis for quite some time. This brings us back to the fact that in the series there is one set-up that isn't quite hoyle. THE SERIES IS STRICTLY one game at a time and a day is given for travel between cities. It isn't t<x» hard to remombc! back in the days of train rides where days weren't always fre< between towns. Jump on tin train, ride most of the night and play again the next day. However. today with the big jets hauling the players and the time between coasts is even down to just hours, the day off gives just one thing to the series, fever starting pitchers. A team t!:at has had to use their whole staff m the regular season will go through the series with just three starters. This happened bust war and will again this year prob, bly, at least for the- Dodgers. FOR SAKE OF FIGURES, Koufax started something lio 41 games this year, probably h ;h in the majors. The team plays 162. which includes double headers, extra inning games and everMhing. His 41 boils down to vno-fourth and you must remember, this is high Lu- the two leagues. Last year in the series he didn't start the first day dm- to Jewish holidays. but still managed to start three times in the seven games. If the si-ries was playixl on consecutive days, this probably would not be possible. THE SERIES OF 1966 will no doubt be exciting. There is al- । ways something to make a great series The outstanding performance of one player, the great rise of a team to the occasion, the i tight games that result, or other ! outstanding performances of this nature always make it a great series. As to who the champs will be this year, many Mil favor I the pitching of the Dodgers while

many others will bank on the young pitchers of the Orioles with the solid men such as the Robinsons bejilnd them. It will boil down to almost a battle of the bat against thr pitching. THE LEGION CORNER Post 189 was host to the Third District meeting of thr American Legion Dept, of Indiana. Sunday, September 25, at 2 p.m. At this time, I wish to commend all the officers wives, plus an additional few auxiliary members, who made the meal an extremely successful and delicious one. We had a very distinguished guest. State C mmander Frank Hamilton, who gave a very inspiring and interesting talk. Ben Fetters. Third District Ceremonial chairman, won an award for the best ceremonial work in the state of Indiana It was also disclosed that various concession sLinds at the Knightstown Home, brought in approximately $2,000 to be used at the home for various needs of the children there. It was one of the biggest turnouts ever nt the home. 1 would like at this time to comment on the homecoming parade in Walkerton last week It was a very well oganized parade and one of the nicest homec< ning parades I believe anyone has witnessed in Walkerton. But the complete lack of respect for

the flag of our country as it passed was absolutely disrespectful. 1 personally counti-d only four people whom I saw that either took off their hat or held their hand over their hearts as the flag passed. Had there been ten or twelve flags in the parade, it might have been a little different, but one red. white and blue piece of cloth that men and women over the years have died for. and who are still in hospitals and sick beds fighting tu keep this a free country some 25 years ago and now. no one could take a few seconds out to render a flag etiquette salute, depending on the clotiies or uniform. A symbol of Freedom .and Democracy. As you are leading this, ask yourself, are you one of the many who showed no respect to the flag of our country.
