The grand subject to be treated here Is a 23-year-old gem of a left fielder named Louis Brock. Only about sis months in Cardlnats uniform, the ex-Chleago Cubs outfield er ranted the right to be treat ed praiseworthy here because of his fine contribution to the Rrdblrds’ successful, uphill drive I® the National League pennant. Perhaps more than any other player on the Rrdblrds team dur ing that incredible stretch drive. Brock was responsible for putting the Cardinals In the Hrrlew against the New York Yankees Traded about rr.jd-soo.son by the Cubs to the Cards Lou proceeded to wield a hot bat and field sen sationally for the Rrdblrds. A good fast and curvcball hitter. Brock fintshed the season in s big rush, hitting .317 for his 200 nits In 634 ttmee-at-bat to finish sixth among the top NL hitters Brock even played the hero'a role with the 'Birds all the way down the wire. On the dav the Cards sent St. Louis fnns into frenzies of delight by nailing down the NL pennant, the final day of vlay. Lon provid ed the spark that enabled the Birds to shake a 3-2 deficit and roll on to an 11-5 victory over Casey Stengel's pesky New York ; Meta. He started the Crrdinals rallies In the fifth and sixth In nings of that game, collecting hts 300th hit In the latter game. Lou also madt a clutch shoe string catch of Bob Taylor's line drive in the second, which pre vented the Mets from perhaps having a big Inning and winning, the game. Johnny Keane, the once 1 Tan 9bpics/ss . it i-wnfal Features *IF YOU WANT ANYTHING JUST TELL MEAN I'll SHOW YOU HOWTO DO WITHOUT IT/* maligned but now reassessed Red birds manager, said afterwards that Lou'a key o’ay bouyed the Cards' confidence and fired th'-m to victory. "When he made that great rateh . . . and with his base running, he gave us confi dence,” Keane stated. The ‘Birds' fans in left field show ed I heir appreciation by car rying Brock off the field on their shoulders That’s the kind of drive and hero adulta tlon Brock Is capable of stir ring. But the Lou B'ock story really goes back several years, when he .was scouted by one of the keenest Judges of baseball talent—a dus kv gentleman named Buck O’Neil, who had been the successful man ager of the Kanstu, City Monarch! of the old Negro American Lea gue, before the Cubs . ow the light of the new day ,1 Integration and made him the first Negro coach In major league history Brock Is a chocolate colored ball player of medium build who la made up Rlong the 'lues of Yan kee pitcher Whltey Ford, with broad muslcular shoulders and full legs above the ankle He does not give you the lmp-esston of being overpowering by his physical make-un. However, O'Neal saw In Brock real potential for star dom. and told the Cubs brass so. He noted that Lou could "run like the devil, “throw a ball a country mile.’' had raa or-sharp reflexes, and a good, level and potent swing at the plate. All he needed was seasoning, O'Neal counseled. "Orab him." he told the Cubs. The Cubs took hts word, raced Brock through the minors and then brought him up to the team In short order. He was sent back down for a shon spell after the 1962 season, but was back In a few months to stay. Somehow, however. Brock never really hit his peak with Pitches St. Louis To World Series Victory Over Mighty N. Y. Yankees ST. LOUIS (KPD—Bob Gibson found bis "place in tfoe tun" last Thursday.

It was the second series win for Ligon’s Little Blues Finally Win; Trample Dillard, 34-0 GOLDSBORO—The Little Blues of Raleigh's J. 3 f. Ligon High School, hungry for a victory after three straight setbacks, unleashed a five-touchdown barrage on the Ti gers of Dillard High School here, and walked away with a 34-0 vic tory Friday night. Xavier Artis, a halfback, opened the scoring for the Raleigh eleven by throwing a past to James Rob ertson for 31 yards. Quarterback Larry Graham then hit end sad eo-captain Alfredo Hleks on a- 33-yard pass play. Graham hhntelf then scampered 20 yards to give Ligon a 20-0 halftime lead. In the third period. Artis made his second touchdown on a 70-yard gallop. David Stiles closed out the ! scoring with a 36-yard run. — Y*\'let'A Go\ ym&ftikut' hft 6***l* |*4*r.»ihil.h OnWsef Kdi'er, FULL SPEED AHEAD Timid trollers only taunt trout. Sometimes It's the heavy hand on the throttle that catches ’em. High apeed trolling haa al moat become a "aure-flre" way of filling the day’s limit among anglers In the Rocky Mountain region, report the fishing author ities at Mercury outboards. This “give 'ar the gas" technique, while contrary to most Ideas about trolling, la particularly effective at sundown whan fish move into the shallows to food on insects. Commonly, a small spoon, with a hammered gold and black finish Is used. This Is cast 30 to 40 yards astern and fished close to the surface. Actual speeds depend upon conditions, 1.e., wind action, un derwater . haxards. etc. On a straight run through a feeding urea they may reach 10 mph. During turns it la desirable to rev up the engine in order to keep the lure at the same level aa the line slackens and doubles back. Often, trout will follow a spoon for some distance, re peatedly bumping It lightly. When this happens, a quick In crease In speed usually provokes a solid strike. Oeepite the commotion es beat traffic overhead, fish continue feeding with no apparent con cern, observe the Mercury folks. During theta mealtime epreea lake-dwelling rainbows and browns show littla faar of men and equlpmant So don't ''spare the horses" the next time conditions are right. Most game fish can handle them selves quite well In an aquatic dash. the second-division Cuba. Maybe he needed to be with a team with the balance, dash and color of the Cardinals. Anyway. Brack was only bol ting aroand .30# when be waa shipped to St. Utah in a trade which owner P. K. Wrigley and the Cards may remember aa long aa there is baseball. The key man the Cuba got for Brock was Rrdblrds' pitcher. Ernie BroftUo. who didn't come close to! matching Lou's season's heroics. Onoe with the Cardinals. Brock, was hovter than s firecracker, ex- i plodtng hits all over NL ball parks. | He wu simply unstoppable. Cub fans have grumbled loud and long about the Cubs’ goof In' trading Brock, but for Lou. It was a big break. It not only gave him a chance to play with a pennant winning team, but also In the World Series itself, an experience many top-notch ball players nev er enjoy throughout their entire baseball careers. These two sac tors In turn gave Brock a psycho logical lift and boosted his cool: dence. Brack said tost week that playtag to Iks Series was jest great, bat that he was leokinfc beyond the classic to still greater stardom "The hotting championship Is the main thing.'* ha declared. Ttoa Is the kind cf spllniliui and confi dence to one's self that ehar actartoca saase of the created players of the game. While I am not prepared to say when. I Agree that Brock Is a sure bet to win the NL pennant. He Is Just that good a hitter I am sure O'Neil hated to see Brock traded by the Cube, but I am also sure he can now rejoice in retrapect In the great ovportunlt) that more gave his nrotege Now the whole baseball work! knows of the tremendous potertiai of the Lou Brock ONr.l aas been talking about foi yean.
