BETHEL MARKET SNUG HARBOR ROM) NOW NITE CRAWLERS REP WORMS CRICKETS MINNOWS ... SHRIMP . Recreation Happenings ?y BILLY WOOTEN The following was found in the Babe Ruth Baseball publication, "Line Drives." Hope you baseball nuts enjoy it. It is a game by which to measure the seasons. It begins in the child of April and ends in October frosts. The first game is always a surprise. It's hard, in the first week of April to digest the fact that another baseball season is starting. Basketball, they say, is the native game because it was invented here. But baseball is the American game and it doesn't matter that one it was called "rounders" or "cricket" and that is was played in England. Baseball is the American game ? a game played in the cities by kids who learned it on the farms. That's the way it used to be, at least, before the suburban stadiums and organzied youth baseball. It is the game we learn as toddlers, trying to catch a ball rolled to us by our fathers, and there is almost no one, man or woman, who did not at some point in life catch a ball in a leather glove or hit one with a bat. It is a slow game because it is played out doors in hot weather. And it is measured. Six outs to an inning. Nine innings to a game, and if it is tied after that, you play until it isn't. If you lose, you lose to another team, never to a clock. It is gentle enough to be played by the middle-aged at picnics but it is perhaps the most difficult of all games to play well. There are few players who can do it all. Hit, hit with power, run, throw, field. The professionals play it 162 times a season, not counoing playoffs and World Series, and it doesn't pale. Who could bear a 162-football, basketball or hockey season? Baseball runs for six months, it works because they change the pitcher every day, and that single change alters the very nature of a team. It was better when there were only 154 games and just 16 teams because it was manageable then. It was possible to know all the teams and all the players, the bat ting and earned-run averages. It was better when all the stadiums were different and each, like Fenway Park in Boston and Wrigley Field in Chicago, had a personality. Musical and Mantle, Williams and DiMaggio, Mays and Cogg, Feller and Ott weren't superstars, they were heroes. America never has had nor ever will have another hero of the magnitude of Babe Ruth. The dimensions of the infield are as they always were. Ninety feet down the baselines. Sixty feet, six inches from the pitching mount to home plate. Perfect and immutable. The running and the hitting and the throwing haven t changed either, or the feel of the air in the stands on a warm June night. And tie kids still dream of being players, not free agents. They dream of hitting the home run that wins the playoffs, not of sign ing some unreadable contract. Men dream too. If you ask them what they would be if they could be anything they wanted; they will tell you; like it or not, that they would be ballplayers' "You gotta be a man to play this game for a living, but you gotta have a lot of little boy in you, too," said Roy Campanella, the great Dodger catcher. And so it is with baseball fans. "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put childish things away," Paul wrote to the Corinthians. Campy knew better. Name the Park contest to end The "Name the Park" contest ends tomorrow, Friday, April 28 at 5 p.m. Ac cording to Recreation Director Billy Wooten, interest has been very good with several hundred people having entered.
