The hard core fan has been treated roughly of late, Base- ball, formerly the queen of sports, has been dressed in a form that an old-time fan can barely recognize. Though the players are as skilled as ever, the ole game ain't the same. Baseball, played for the true love of sport; baseball, the game kids would spend hours and hours memorizing and playing; baseball, the metaphor for a certain sort of Amer- ican testiness, is now as bland as the corporations that con- trol :the teams. Life and vibrancy are gone, banished to a time not afflicted with industrial anxiety. When the Giants and Dodgers pulled from the Boroughs -and heeded Horace Greely's advice, the Game's image became a little tarnished. And when players were traded solely because of their high salaries, a new trend emerged: baseball as busi- ness. A fun business some would argue. But for the guy who drank his beer in the heart of Flatbush, it was a business that had eliminated one of his most passionate and harmless fan- tasies. For the kid with a bottlecap and a stick, who wasn't quite aware that something was amiss, all that was left was cold boxscore in. the Daily News. Roger Kahn, a Dodger fan to the core, has penned a fine volume about his boyhood and baseball's heyday, a youth spent on dreams of deification of the Bums. In Boys ofI Summer, Kahn has recreated a baseball world which old and hard fans can identify. Kahn's book, unlike most baseball books which drip with a sentimentality that would embarass even the most diehard of soap-opera enthusiasts or which are stock-filled with moments of vainglory such as first-hand reports of how single-handedly Babe Zwatski stopped the Yankees with no hits in thirty-five consecutive innings, is a work about men. No exalted gods,- carrying their bats as prized spears, but men who toiled under hot sun in a game that was a lifetime for them. Jackie Robinson, whose black body and flashing spikes dom- inated the fortunes of Flatbush during the fifties, is the pro- tagonist of this work. Robinson possessed the driving spirit that was the Dodgers durng that time. Whether glaring down a pitcher or taking an extra base on a throw, Robinson was a force to be reckoned with. Here, in Kahn's creation, is also Robinson, the man whose son fights bravely against a drug addiction. Kahn does not shrink from his reporting duty, follow- ing each of the Dodger regulars to their present lives. Men, who once played with what Dodger catching star Cam- panella termed "a bit of the boy", are found on construction sites and in bar rooms. Some are embittered against the sport (Carl Furillo is a hard hat in his fifties. Where is his pension, Mr. O'Malley?) but none can deny their ties and deep roots to it- Roy Campanella, who today lies perilously close to death, would be one who sensed the difference in style. Campy used to watch the other team take batting practice, sitting in his dugout, alone. To Roy just being on a Big League diamond was fun enough. The pension strike is a grim reminder that we as a nation are not as fun-loving as we once were. That we have a national pastime run as efficiently as General Motors is sad enough, that we have forgotten our roots seems tragic. -Dan Borus From Wire Service Reports NEW YORK-Vic Hadfield, who gave the Montreal Canadiens nightmares all evening, blasted the. puck past goalie Ken Dryden mid- way through the final period to give the New York Rangers a 3-2 victory in the first game of their best of seven Eastern Division' semifinal series. In addition, the victory broke the Canadiens' 11 game win streak over the Rangers in playoff com- petition. Hadfield, who was camp- ed in front of Dryden, took a beau- tiful pass from center Bobby Rousseau at the 12:43 mark and threaded the short side of the net. Both teams started off flying from the opening faceoff with the play being anything but conser- vative. Nine minutes into the game Claude Larose intercepted a New "York pass and broke in all alonej on Ed Giacomin, but the New York netminder came out to make, a daring sweep check, foiling the play. The inital tally, however, came with Serge Sa-vard off the ice for; cross checking at the 13:29 mark. Brad Park pelted Dryden twice from the blue line with the second rebound coming right onto the stick of Bill Fairbairn who flicked it over Dryden's shoulder to give New York a 1-0 lead. - This lead was shortlived how- ever as Larose made up for the breakway by flying down the right side, faking defenseman Dale Rolfe off his feet and beating Giacomin for an unassisted goal at 18:55.A But the first period scoring was still not over as only 37 secondsl later Rousseau fed the puck from behind the net to Hadfield who scored the first two goals.ed Frank Mahovlich. knotted the daily sports NIGHT EDIToR: DAN BORUS then gave the Hawks, runaway champions of the Western Divi- sion, fits until the pivotal third period.

After State had taken a 2-0 lead, the W o l v e r i n e s scored seven; straight goals in the first and sec- ond periods, but they tired late in the game, allowing six Spartan tallies in the final quarter.. Michigan got somewhat balanced; scoring with four goals by the attackmen, seven from the first line midfielders, and three from the second middles. State, on the other hand, was paced for the; most part by Valdemar Washing- ton, a sophomore from Baltimore. Washington scored six goals. Michigan had four players who; earned the proverbial "hat trick."' Dick Dean and Dennis Burdziak' each scored three times, while; Curt Adkisson and Don Holman had four goals apiece. The vital statistics of the game were pretty even, with Michigan outshooting State 53-50, and the Wolverine goalies Jay Johnson and Charlie Crone making 15 saves to State's Ron Hebert's 13. But the most vital stat of all came in the roughhousing area, where Michi- gan picked up 1P penalties to the Spartans' five. Michigan State opened the game with two goals in the first 45 sec- onds, and one wondered if the artificial turf had something to do with it, as Michigan played on nothing but grass for the last three weeks. But Dean broke the scor- ing drouth at 3:14, and then Flan- agan and Holman went to work. Three of the next four Blue scores came off this combination, with Flanagan contributing the set-up passes from behind the net, and Holman merely flicking - the ball behind goalie Hebert almost at will. In all, Michigan scored four times in the first quarter andI five in the second to take a 9-5 lead into the dressing room at halftime. Four more goals in the third stanza brought the score to 13-7 with 15 minutes to play in the game. 1. S" u" t4. MW R1 : -A-,,- "%4"i '7' FINAL :": ": :° .. . ..
