SEEING A BASEBALL GAME li is always been a thrill for many people . uch as myself, but attendii ; the sixth and final game of tiie World Series in Comisky Park Thursday was one of those once in a lifetime thrills a person enjeys. As fa./ as the baseball game itself goes, it wasn't n close game as the 9-3 score indicates, but it vm very thrilling at different stages of the contest and seeing that An’il wrap-up game adds to tiie excitement. GETTING TO THE PARK early, one sees a carnival-like atmosphere among the fans assembled at this early hour, especially those who have been standing in line for horns, some all night, waiting for bleacher and standing room only rickets. The group assembled in the bleachers were a gay lot with one of the three or four bands lured by showman Bill Veeck adding to the atmosphere with their gay tunes. Lancing, yelling and just all-around fun-making was 'one way for this group to let off steam. AROUND OTHER PARTS OF tire rark the fans were spotted as they came in at an unsteady pace to watch the pre-game warm-ups. First the White Sox make their 1 appearance on the field and after a lew limbering-up tosses, begin to fake batting practice. Almost as so n ag the Sox hit the field, hundreds of newspaper, radio and television men flock on the field i to make their interviews and pick i us conversation with the players, ’ coaches and managers. The fans 1 were moving into the park just J a little faster now as they found i their seats and then on manj r occa- 1 sions, moved down the lines to the 1 jailings in case one of those foul 1 balls came their wav. ( 1 EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, i several men would run after a ball ] In the stands gathering the atten- j lion of many of the fans. A couple more of the small bands were now moving around the stadium filling the air with music, much to the J fans delight. THE DODGERS BEGAN TO 1 come Bom the dugout on the third 1 base side to move over to then* own fir st base location, but usually ! were surrounded by the newsmen' before" they could get very fa-.: As they tr ickled over to their spot, ‘ lans began searching the programs: and hunting player s with the com-. ment of excitement as they spot- ' ted the various players such as Hodges, Snider, Sherry and Drys-: dale. They would occasionally be interrupted as someone said “Smith just put another- one in the seats. ’ | Then a friend would chip ir with' “I’d like to see a couple of those' in the game.” AFTER THE BELL, THE' Sox leave the field, the Dodgers' take over- in force with the reg-: ular pattern o? pitchers ruining in’ the otrtfield and shagging flys or hitting fungos around the infield.' Many of the big guns spi nd the . time not hitting, right at the: batting cage talking to writers and i teammates and leaning on the old! war club awaiting another chance to swing the willow. Out in right field towards the end of the drills, as the stands were filling much more, Clem Labine, a long-time Dodger pitcher-, was creating a' goodwill campaign of his own as he tossed baseballs in the stands' to fans, or 'flipped one over a' railing to a small boy standing! there. THE BANDS WERE CONTINTjJ ing their music as the Dodgers moved into tire infield drills while 1 outfielders were shagging fungos l

I and practicing their throws to various places in and off the infield. • As their front liners moved out the subs look over the inf.e.d and continued. Then they left and the Sox took over taking their infield and finishing their pre-game pra' - tice. The stands were filling much faster now and the starting pitchers were out taking the warm-up before the sixth game. Bodies firing the ball in hard and Early Wynn taking his time with his assortment of stuff, occasiona’ly firing one hard one and then going back to just throwing. THE INFIELD CREW WAS putting the finishing touches on th2 diamond and the color guard had assembled behind home plate. The six umpires were out on the field and the suspension was hanging thick as fans became acquainted with those setting next to them, talking baseball and introducing themselves before the firing started. The starting lineups were called around the field and finally the conference at the plate broke up when the color "guard and national anthem were announced. FOLLOWING THIS, THE SOX ran out on the field and the game was ready to begin. What happened on the field is now history, but the fan reaction rose and fell as the tide changed. The big home run by Duke Snider in the third following a walk put some ohs and ahs on the lips of the fans. Talk of getting them back in the next inning was heard. The second guessers were telling what they would have done, mostly favoring Billy l Pierce instead of Wynn in this ( game. After the Sox were retired in the fourth, Larker started < the big Dodger fourth with a hard ( line single. A sacrifice by Dodger 1 catcher Johnny Roseboro, moved his along, but Maury Wills moved * to first on a walk only to have , Podres line a double off the center ’ field wall. ( THAT WAS ALL FOR WYNN. ’ but not for the Dodgers as they 1 continued their assault against 1 Dick Donovan, capped by the long < home run by Wally Moon making < the score 8-0. Boy, did the fans 1

hopes fall with that, but rallied . to rise again in the bottom of ths I inning as Kluzewski upper-decked 1 one following Landis beaning and ■ a walk to Lollar. This brought the 1 spirits back up, especially when Smith got free transportation. Bc--1 fore the inning was over, Larry ■ Sherry, a 21-year-old who came up > to the Dodgers after the season ■ had started, came in. Most fe’t the ’ Sox would finally get to this man : by this time. HOWEVER. THE EXCITEment was about over as the game continued without much action un til the Bth inning when it rained. Hopes really fell in the seventh far the Sox boosters as Fox led off with a double and died on second with the 3rd, 4th and sth batters up. The farrs knew then it was just about over. Essegian’s blast in the top of the ninth off of Ray Moore caused no murmurs from the big 47,000 plus crowd. The fans did stay to the end, holding that faint hope of a rally in the late innings. Faces hung long and comments were thick as the disappointed Sox fans filed from the staditm following the final game of the World Series for 1959. MOVIE REVIEWS F rom THE RIALTO When two strong screen men like Kirk Douglas and Anthony Quinn clash, as they do in Paramount’s Hal Wallis production “Last Train From Gun Hill,’’ which open s Sunday for three days at. the RIALTO Theatre, fans can expect some spectacular fireworks and they get them. In Technicolor and Vista Vision. Every once in a while a Western of such stature as this one comes along—it did with “Shane" and with “Gunfight at the OK Corral," the latter incidentally, also star- 1 ring Douglas but with Burt Lancaster. “Gunfight" was also produced under the Hal Wallis banner. Great as that one was, “Last I

| Train From Gun Hill” outdistances it. For dramatic action, I character portrayals and almost unbearable suspense, this new film is vhtually in a class by itself. The story concerns two former friends who become implacable |enemies when the son of one be- । comes involved in the rape-murder -of the wife OP the other. It. i; : Quinn’s son, brilliantly played by Earl Holliman, who, to his father’s shock, committed the crime so which Douglas is determined he shall pay. But first Douglas has to get the young man out of Gun Hill, the town practically owned by Quinn . . . “practically”, because of only one person in it—Quinn’, woman —who is not on his side She is portrayed by Carolyn Jones talented star of “Bachelor Party’ and "King Creole.’’ John Sturges directed. 4-H ( lubbers Buy I 188 Beef Calves St. Joseph County 4-H beef calves for 1960 were distributed to club members recently.
