.. . When Larry Gilbert was man-|

pging Memphis years ago, his team put the tying run on second with two down in the ninth. . . He had already used up his dependable pinch hitters and was forced to summon a bench warmer who was in a long slump. . . . The Memphis fans booed lustily. . « Larry called time, ran out to the hitter and said, “Don’t mind the booing, son, Just keep cool and hit the first good one.” . .. “Shucks,

- Larry,” the hitter said, “I'm all

right. They're booing you, not me.”

8 = 8 ALL LUCK IS BAD... When a feam is in a slump all the breaks go the other way. . . . In one of the Sunday games, lost by the Cardinals, 1 to 0, in 12 innings, they loaded the bases on three short singles in the seventh with nobody out. , . . Marion grounded fo third, forcing Kurowski at the plate, Dusak batted for Wilber and popped . to shortstop, and Brazle tapped to the pitcher... no runs, three hits, no errors.
