Herald * Sports j I DICK WOODWARD “Men In Blue", Envied.. By Few Umpires live a hard life during the course of a base ball season. They work most every day. sometimes four and five hours on the field, and are the center of continu ous ridicule and harassment from spectators. But, "the men in blue” take it all in stride, and for the most part, supervise the play in an extremely orderly fashion. Managers find out quickly that the umpires are in complete control of the playing of the game from the time the first pitch is thrown and it is quite a common occur rence for a manager or a player to be ejected from a given game for some infraction of the rules or overbearing argu ment. Both players and managers focus their degrading re marks at the umpires, but a recent incident which was reported gave the “umps” a pat on the back. As the story goes, one of the Western Carolina* League managers, an ex-major leaguer, was busying him self with the task of telling league President .John H. Moss that the caliber of umpiring in the WCL left much to be desired. “The umpires certainly do make a lot of mistakes in this league, and they should be reprimanded for their “bum calls,” the manager said. Moss, who has been affiliated with baseball for many years, listened intently to the manager’s criticisms and upon the completion of the derogatory remarks came out with the following remark: "Yes, I admit that the WCL umpires make mistakes, but so do they all. but don’t forget, the WCL has graduat ed two umpires to the major leagues and we are still look ing for our first manager to graduate to the big time. With this, the manager turned and walked away. The two officials to whom he referred are Frank Umont. who is an American League umpire and Paul Pry or, who works the National League. Both were umpires in the old Western Carolina League in the early fifties. Umont was in the area during the ’50-’51 seasons and Pryor was on the scene a year later. It has been the observation of this writer that the caliber of umpiring in this year’s WCL has been very good. Some fans forget that in Class A baseball there are only two umpires assigned to a given game while in some of the higher classifications, and in the majors, there are , four men working. This fact places a double amount of | work on the officials, and too. as a rule, the area umpires , in the WCL are comparative youngsters in the umpiring ranks. They are to be commended for their performances, and if the caliber of players were comparable to the ' game’s officials, it would be a better league in which to j play. , WCL All-Star Game Near Repeat A late afternoon rain threatened to wash-out the 196-1 ' WCL All-Star game at Rook Hill last Friday, but thanks - to a highly skilled grounds crew, which worked for more than an hour to put the field into playing condition, the game was played. And the more than 1,500 fans who were * on hand enjoyed a great night of baseball. The All-Stars racked up a 7-3 win, but it took the i ninth inning to determine the outcome. Rock Hill, winner of the first half of play in the • league, stayed right on the heels of the star-studded squad J before faltering in the final frame. It was tied. 3-all as the ninth inning began. | The All-Stars gained the early lead with single runs ; in the three middle innings, but, under the direction of i manager Hal Smith, the local lads picked away and tied i the game in the eighth. The entire All-Star squad saw action and was manag ed by ex-major leaguer. Max Lanier, present Lexington , Giant's mentor. Shelby’s Dave McDonald contributed a pinch-hit single to score two runs in the decisive ninth. The progress of the game closely resembled that of the major league affair which was held Tuesday, and the final outcome was only a one-run difference. The Nation al League defeated the American by a 7-4 score as a re sult of a three-run homer in the ninth. “It was a great game, and a good time was had by all,” commented Rock Hill manager Smith following the game. “We were well pleased with the outcome, and are looking forward to an even more successful second half of the season,” President Moss stated. Major League Race In Home Stretch As the major leagues head into the home stretch of the ’64 season there are two surprises. The Baltimore Orioles and the Philadelphia Phillies, both of which are making it know that they mean business. The Orioles are hanging on to a slim lead in the American League and the Phillies are shuffling back and forth from first to second place in the senior circuit. At the All-Star break the Orioles and Phillies led their respective leagues and showed no signs of giving ground to the pre-season picked favorite New' York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers have been a miserable disappointment thus far this season. The biggest asset for the flag-hopeful Orioles is their ability to beat the Yankees. Not long ago the Yankees made a strong bid for the front-running spot with two series sweeps of the Chicago White Sox. but the Orioles were not to be denied. The Yanks had momentum going for them as they moved into Baltimore, but the Orioles refused to fall victim to the '63 champs. They not only swept the series from the Yanks, but did it in Yankee fashion by coming from behind in the late innings of two contests. The Phillies snapped a four game losing streak Mon day night with a 3-2 victory over Milwaukee's Warren Spahn to remain one game out of first place, and should | remain in contention as the season progresses. < Manager Gene Mauch has molded a well-balanced at tack in Philadelphia and the fans are sensing a pennant in the City of Brotherly Love for the first time since the Whiz Kids copped the crown in 1950. But, the surprising Orioles and Phillies have their work cut out for them, and as the long hot days of late July and August roll around, the Yankees and Giants should steadily gain on the pick and wind up in the covet ed World Series in October..* t Pitcher Warren Goforth Wins Legion MVP Award Warren iB«>> Goforth, main stay of the l!»il American Legion pitching staff, v as presented the Most Valu: hi. Playet Award at a steak supper honoring the team last Thursday night. Tlte event was held at the lo cal Police Club ;>nd all but one •if this year's players were on hand. The American Legion sponsored the event, which con sisted of charcoal steaks for the players and invited guests. Six ty tour players and guests were on hand to honor this year's team which compiled a season record of eight wins against eight detents. Goforth, who terminated his eligibility »!«i» year, has been an outstanding performer for tin local juniors for three seasons, and compiled a 3 2 won-loss record in 'W Atitletie Director Carl Wilson presented the trophy and told the audience that it was a diffi cult decision to select the most valuable because all of the par ticipating players contributed a great deal to the program. Goforth's selection came as a result of a three-man commit tee which was appointed to de termine the winner. Five players terminated their eligibility this year and were recognized for their outstanding contributions to this year’s team Those who will be ineligible next year are; Warren Goforth, pitcher: Louis Cook, catcher: Jim Leigh, first baseman; Jackie Hughes, pitcher: and George Pittman, center fielder.
