Who called them bumsl
way?
bums any-1
We did.
And what's more, we would like to
make it clear to all concerned that,
although the appellation "bumns"
might be a little strong, there doesn't
seem to be any doubt that they were
defeated by a vastly superior team.
Mickey Owen dropped the third
strike with two out In the ninth in-
ning of the fourth game and the
Yankees went on to win. Valiant
Hugh Casey folded like a broken
accordionN and it was all over in
short order.
"Fluke," cried Dodger fans (real
and synthetic) the country over."'The
Yankees get all the breaks; you can't
beat luck like that . . ." And so on,
ad infinitum.
Granted that, had Owen held
onto the ball, the series would have
been tied up and the idols of Flat-
bush would have been very much
back in the running. But the fact
remains that he didn't hold onto
the ball and that, bromidic as it
may sound, the game still isn't over
until the last man is out. That
error, or wild pitch (there is some
argument over just which it was),
was just as much a part of the ball
game as Pete Reiser's home run.'
Henrich would have averted a lot
of heated discussion if he hadn't
swung at the ball. It would have been
called a ball, Tommy would have
reached first and the outcome of the
game probably wouldn't have been
changed a bit. But Tommy had his
ripple at the ball and so the Yanks
were branded as lucky.
Too many people who/ follow
baseball in a half-hearted sort of
way fail to make any distinction
between luck and the breaks of the
game. When an easy ground ball
hits a pebble and bounces over the
shortstop's bgead, that's luck. When
a player makes an error, that's
baseball.
An irate Dodger fan, during one of
the many post-game arguments we
engaged in after Sunday's debacle,
shouted very coarsely in our direc-
tion, "Oh, -yeah, I'd like to see you
now if Dickey had been the one that
dropped the ball. You'd still be cry-
ing."
We have what we think is a
y pretty good answer for that one.
Anone who kuows us knows that
we pink the Detroit Tigers 6are the
greatest ball team that ever took
the field. We are defnitely Tiger
fans. And yet, a year ago, we didn't
call the Cilcinnati Reds lucky when
Dick Bartell held the ball while
Frank McICormick crossed the plate
with the run that cost the Bengals
the world's championship.
Rowdy Richard could ,easily have
thrown to the plate in time to flag
the big Red first sacker. But he
didn't make the toss. It was a lapse
on his part or, perhaps, on the part of
Charley Gehringer for not telling
Dick that he had time to nail
McCormick. «
But, whoever was at fault, the
Reds weren't lucky. They capital-
____ - - il
ized on a break, something that all
championship teams have to do.
The Yanks got a break when Owen
missed the third strike and they
worked it for everything they could
get out of it. What they got was
their fifth world's title in six years
and they richly deserved it. They
were the better team.
And just so that no one can say we
didn't investigate all the angles of
the Flatbush situation, let's look at
it this way. Suppose, just for argu-
nents sake you understand, we
grant that the Dodgers had tough
luck. So what.
There was no luckier team in
baseball than the Brooks during the
t9gular season. They went through
the National League campaign
without a single serious injury.
Their closest rivals for the flag,
the Cardinals (who were really the
class of the league as far as player-
ability is concerned, not to mention
having most of the fight that the
Dodgers are generally credited
with), had three outfielders on the
sick list at the same time for a
while.
We're glad the Yankees won. We
thught they would win before the
Series started and we think they had
an infinitely better team than the
Brooklyns. Hurray for the New York
Yankees, the greatest team in base-
ball history.
Otto, show them bums the door.
For Defense-
/S punk, Nerve,
Fighting Heart
By STAN CLAMAGE
A "MUST" FOR DEFENSE.
This is a story which is best ex-
emplified by an actual experience.
Any similarity to persons now living
is highly commendable.
Three years ago the high school
coaches in the Detroit Metropolitan
League were astounded by the pres-'
ence of a short stubby end on the
starting team of one of the top three
squads in the West Side. It is doubt-
ful that he stood. over five and one-
half feet-even with shoes on.
This kid had more spunk, nerve
and a fighting heart than any foot-
ball player one could imagine. And
he wasn't ridiculous in his deter-
mination. He had it and he gave his
all during every second that he was
on the gridiron.
His coach knew what he wanted
from an end and couldn't find it in
what the big boys had to offer. But
there was this small kid, playing in
the backfield on one of the "cannon
fodder" squads. And he was willing
to try. He wanted to play football.
The coach wanted his ends to pile-
drive into any interference that came
any way near him. Theory: rid the
back of his interferene before he
gets a chance to open up, and the
rest for the defense should be rela-
tively easy. And, sure enough, so it
came to pass. At the snap of the
ball, around came the interference,
and there was this midget end wait-
ing. Every time, he piled into that
mass of obstruction with reckless
abandon. And he made many more
than his share of tackles. Ask any
of the opposition.
The team had one of their better
years that season. But had the
coach another end like shorty, what a
year that would have been!
This brings us to the 1941 Michi-
gan Wolverine football team. With
the center of the line apparently well
intact, and with good fast defensive
back, a little of this "kid" style of
playmight relieve the tension around
the flankers. And, then a still great-
er Michigan year.
No small stuff, this little mite.
(Continued from Page 1)
on Gordon, Wyatt sailed a wild pitch
high over Owen's outstretched glove
and Keller loped home while Dickey
ran to second. Gordon came through,
then, with a scorching single off sec-
ond baseman Pete Coscarart's glove
and,; as the ball rolled on out into
rightfield, Dickey scored.
This was all the margin that Bon-
ham needed, but Henrich hammered
a home run over the 40-foot fence in
rightfield on the first pitch given
him in the fifth inning. That was
just for good measure and afterward
the Yanks never bothered Wyatt-
except with their continuous bench
jockeying.
Watt Hits Double
Wyatt himself set off the rally
that brought Brooklyn its only run
in the third inning. He opened with
a hard double into the leftfield cor-
ner. After Dixie Walker had flied
out, Lew Riggs blasted a low liner
that struck Bonham on the right leg
below the knee and caromed toward
the third base line for a single
putting Wyatt on third. The pitcher
raced home a few minutes later after
Pete Reiser had flied to right.
Except for a tremendous triple by
Reiser after two wereout in the
first inning, this was the only real
threat the Dodgers made all after-
noon.
Bonham fanned Dolph Camilli to
end Brooklyn's rally in toe third and
he didn't give another dit until the
eighth when Walker wafted a single
into right. This time he made Riggs
pop to first baseman Johnny Sturm
and struck out Reiser.
Bonham's First Start
It was the first appearance the
220-pound righthander called "Tiny"
ever had made in the World Series
and he matched the four-hit hurling
of his teammate, lefty Marius Russo,
for the best pitched game of the
1941 classic.
Wyatt gave six hits, three less
than he allowed in winning last
Thursday and once over his early
wildness he was as hot as the
weather, which had many fans sit-
ting peeled to their undershirts for
the third straight day.
He struck out nirfe men, including
ERNIE BONHAM
Bonham on every one of the four
times he came to bat, and DiMaggio
the first two times that he came to
the plate.
The, Dodgers used a pinchhitter,
Augie Galan, for Coscarart in the
seventh, unsuccessfully, and sur-
prised the fans by bringing the in-
jured Billy Hernian backs into the
lineup to play second base for the
last two frames.
He was called upon to handle two
grounders in the eighth and on the
first one initiated a fast double play
and on the second, easily threw out
Dickey.
Trueblood Qualifying
Rounds To Continue
Qualifying rounds of golf for the
annual Trueblood tournament will
continue through tomorrow, Varsity
coach._ Ray Courtright announced.
Poor weather conditions held the at-
tendance down over the weekend, and
for this reason the time limit for the
36-hole qualifying rounds to be com-
pleted has been extended. Tomor-
row the qualifiers will be paired for
match play for the Trueblood trophy.
