The Argot Of Sports MORRIS SERVICE Naxt To Carolina Thaatra a a a a * Sandwiehaa—Salada—Sodas "Tlia Placa Whara Salamitas Maat” By Anne Miles f For those interested in sports, and the argot of sports, the mostj amusing literature available is thej good old American sports page. One can always depend upon the j sports writers to invent vivid, and sometimes, very frank expressions to meet their momentary needs! There is also something traditional about each published sports page in any newspaper. One can find there many expressions which have been handed down for many years. The most prominent sports in the news nowadays are golf, a few finals in basketball and, mainly, baseball. Golf is a fine sport and I highly approve of it, but just don’t know the lingo of golfers as well as that of basketball and baseball players. There are more fields open in baseball (no pun in tended) than can be filled now. Fans and radio announcers are still digging up new words and descrip tive phrases every day concerning baseball. Players have “smashed homers”, “belted homes”, and “blasted home rs” on every team in America to “rally in the final inning for a ‘crushing triumph’, or an “over-all defeat”! Of course some sizzling batters have slipped and “popped- up” a few “old apples”, but after they “pull out of their slumps” and “settle down”, they make the “final tally” show which team was riding the “dark horse”. There are many “rookies” on the pages now, as every year, but when it comes down to relating tales about the old pennant days, the “veterans” are the ones to tell about the “bustling” which was ^ done by the “champs” when a cer tain pitcher stepped out of the “bull pen” to “bag” the game for them. . I Another good field for argot is basketball. In basketball, one or two players usually “take com mand” or “lead the attack” in the game. The “cagers” usually show “fine team work” and put on “ex cellent exhibitions” of “dropping” the ball through the “loop” or “hoop” or into the net. A certain player might have “been on” all night and “racked up” the winning points, or on the other hand, he might have “been off” and just couldn’t seem to find that spot” or “get his eye on the basket.” Some of these expressions are really funny, if one thinks about them enough and makes a literal translation of them! Headlines on the sports can sound very odd, if one reads and rereads them criti cally. For instance, take expres sions like “Dodger Uprising Whips Yanks”. To an “outsider” the Dodger could be Indians (Cleveland wouldn’t appreciate that), or they could be Southerners during the War Between the States. “Giants Plaster Cubs” and “Reds Slug Hard to Defeat Cards” might sound like a good old-fashioned barroom brawl about a card game, and “Tigars Nip Sox” could be in terpreted as a mishap at the zoo or on a safari. “Orioles Eke Out Indians” might appeal to lovers of nature and Indian lore. Then, there are the headings where a certain athlete “sparks Phillies” and someone else is “turn ing up for summer play”. Some people might be shocked by the first; the second would perhaps appeal more to enthusiastic music majors! Nevertheless, whether it is.base ball, basketball, or any other of the popular sports, there are always players who have been “suffering from serious injuries”, but who “have recovered sufficiently to play this season.” There will always be coaches “squawking”, about something, and an interested fan can always get a laugh, as well as information from the column head ings on sports.
