Your Sports Corner By Robert Urbin A COUPLE OK EVENTS will take place in connection with the Centennial this week that fall under the category of sporting events. They aie the tractor pull and the horse pulling contests. Regardless of what one may think beforehand about these events, they promise Io be very entertaining and wo. th the time of any individual to witness. THE HORSES PULL on Thursday and tiie tractors on Friday of this Centennial week. There is a lot more to these events than one can imagine and everyone should try to attend one or both for a vhile, at least. MANY INTERESTING THINGS 1 ive happened in the Majors the last couple of weeks, as various t -ams have begun tc make moves J one way or the other. Os course.! the interest of many local fans, lies with the Chicago WhiteSox, who have been looking rather sad lately. They have lost 18 of their last 23 ball gair.es and with the J exception of a double-header take I fiom the Red Sox Sunday, have' looked like anything but contenders. JUST WHERE THE White Sox trouble is, is hard to tell. Many think it is in the field managing. Any time a team falters, the! manager can be expected- to ab-[ sorb a good share of the blame Some think it is in the front of f'.ce where a couple of ‘ green-1 hoi ns" are running the ball club J Others think it is in St. Louis' where Frank Lane is now operating as general manager. WELL, WHEREVER IT IS. the Jesuits certainly show up on the field in the loss column. With the' exception of Billy Pierce, the Sox; have been getting no satisfactory pitching. Jack Harshman gees, f om brilliant to stinking perform-, ances. Donovan might as well! Fave anothci operation for all he! is doing. Jim Wilson is certainly! ' ■. , BIALTO THEATRE WALKERTON IND.

i finding the trail rocky lately and :in the relief line. Howell is way below last year’s level, and the others haven’t been fairing tco well. THE BATTING PUNCH seems to be built around Larry Doby I A'ho is kind of a disappointment i to the Sox. When ever he does hit Ihe takes enough out in one game 'to last him a week. Nellie Fox t isn't hitting the ball the way he I used to. Mmoso is up and down I and it is now late ertuugh In the ; season that Lol lai is tapering off. :As far as offensive punch from the first base spot, shortstop and third base, the Sux are as weak as any team in baseball. IT APPEARS THAT IN THE near future the Sox will have to really < hange things around as there is m apparent help in the farm system. In desperation, the Sox have picked up almost anyti.mg on the market in hope of finding some good in some of them However, if the Sox are to win a pennant in the near future, they will have to do it with more of a bench than Ron Northey and such players. MANY INTERETSING Personal items have popped up lately, such as the play of an American League cast-off, Elmer Vaio. He is back in Phiily where he is a । remembered hero from the days 'of the Athletics and he appears ito have Laki n a new outl< ok on I life. Vaio is striking right around 1 the .300 mai k for the rising Phill lies. ERNIE BANKS, THE CUBS’ mainstay, is raising h»s average nicely by hitting tiie ball to right field for singles instead of ti ying ; to pull everything. In many case ; this will boost the long bail production of a slugger also, as tiie pitchers begin putting the ball p'aces besiie on the outside corner. BILL i.MOOSE) SKOWRON appears to have answered the ' question of several years of the Yanks as hi^ play has erased the thought of" Who's on First" fer] New York Skcwron has really! been pounding the ball of late against all types of pitching to tie down the first base job. TED WILLIAMS ONCE again : faces tiie yeaily problem of wor- ! rying about enough at bats in case he should hold ids average high enough t- wm a batting title. He missed quite a bit early in the! season, due to injuries and with the tremendous number of walks lie gets and the relief in late in- ; nings. he may not get the neces- . sary 400 official at bats. IN ORDER TO HIT 400 at bats Williams must average something; like 3 1 official at bats in all of, Boston’s remaining games this! year, or he won’t even be in the running. There is much contro-j versy about this fact each yeai j but Williams should receive no < priviledges u\er any other player just because he is Ted Williams. 1 Any way, the concensus of opinion t is that he first will have to catch , Mickey Mantie and his league

leading average.
