Comment
On Sports
By PETE FRITCHIE
Washington, D. C.? That con
troversial balk rule and its in
terpretation has produced base
ball's biggest comedy thus far
in the young 1863 season.
And the rash of calls has
prompted suggestions for a song
title change of that old favorite
to "Take Me Out to The Balk
Game."
Perhaps a hidden meaning to
what is happening is that pitch
ers are no longer the pampered
lot of the national pasttime. It's
aH probably a matter of the
hitters finally catching up. As
short as 15 years ago, the mound
corps were the game's elite. And
rightly so. Great, hardworking
hurlers dominated the game.
The barrage of home runs has
changed all that. It's now a
slugger's paradise, no matter
what the reason, live ball,
stronger playerSj whip-lash bats'
?etc.
The fans now pay to see the
ball orbited by such wlid-fuel
propellants as Mantle, Maris
Maye, Cepeda. Killebrew, Gen
tile, Aaron, Matthews,
and their cohorts.
Gone are the suspensful duels
_ pitting Bob Feller against the
classic lefty, Hal Newhouser.
Those battles were not consider
ed a Cleveland Indians versus
Detroit Tigers encounter, but a
face - to - face contest between
.personalities. Rapid Robert
?meets Prince Hal.
The pitchers were in their
hey-day then. Listeners hovered
close to parlor radios following
the fate of Feller the flame
thrower as he challenged the
titled one, who conjured up
visions of a modern knight
errant in search of chivalrous
deeds.
Those acid tests appear gone
forever. Other individual con
flicts proceeded that ear and
some have come after, but their
caliber has declined.
The only semblance of a con
temporary rivalry is perhaps the
Jack S it n f o r d - Don Drysdale
matches. They are frequently
thrown together when their
California sponsors, the San
Francisco Giants and Los Ange
les Dodgers, collide.
Of course Warren Spahn of
the Milwaukee Braves must be
excluded from any personal con
flict. The old man exhibits no
particular animosity. He siqjlea
out no opponent to glorify in
defeat, for his private credo
seems to be that all should fall
when facing the Wonder.

Coaches of the nine schools

fine Job done toy Coach Hoover
in organizing and running the
tournament. Coach Hoover was
assisted very ably on the first
