WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1952 Between the Lions Some of baseball's big bosses have come up with what they hope will be the answer to the question “Will TV take away the baseball fan?” As stated in an article in a current magazine, their solution is to build a gigantic, luxurious stadium—something like a movie theater, shopping center, and sports center rolled into one. Somewhat scared with the possibility that the fan would rather view baseball in the comforts of his house, the bosses have decided ihai something must be done. Of course, for the real there never could be a substitution for the "good ole But nevertheless, the magnates have gotten together with some architects and have devised a new kind of arena. The most rev olutionary feature about the park will be its roof, which would stop the need' of any rainchecks.” In sunny weather the roof, which is in sections, could be slipped apart; while on the wet days the fan can be as dry as if he were at home Included in the drawings are space for parking on a large scale; seating capacity for base ball. 55,000; for other sports 90,000; an indoor theater; stores and shops. Corner seats, col umns that obstruct vision, and tall light towers will be elimi nated. The article goes on to state that the .probable cost would be some where in the neighborhood ,'of $6,000,000. The park sounds great, but we doubt if we’ll be seeing it in our time. ★★ ★ ★ Now from baseball to basket ball. First we'll clear up a little misunderstanding that resulted from last week's column in which we said that Makarewicz had dropped out be cause of grades. Whiiey dropped out so he could spend his time on studying and raise his averages. He is NOT fail'ng, nor is he ineligible for basketball as some people were led to believe. ★★ ★ ★ Some good news for the bas ketball fan this week. Joe Pior kowski is eligible for one more semester of play. It was thought that he had used up his eligibility, but he will be back this year to help the situation. Now Elmer Gross has another man he can • count on to give a good performance. Along with BASEBALL PARADE Manager Charley Dressen recently said that the Brooklyn Dod gers “Won’t blow the pennant again.” Well, they didn’t! The Bums finally nailed down the flag that has eluded them, lo these two years, by coming from behind to beat the Philadelphia Phils, 5-4 in the first of a twi-night doubleheader. Not even the Miracle Making Giants can make up the BVz game lead now sported by the Brooks. Reason: they have only six games to play. The Giant doubleheader at Boston was postponed because of rain. Rookie righthander Johnny Rutherford got the win that did the trick. He’s now 7-7 on the year. Duke 'Snider topped off a last-half-of-the-season batting splurge by powering a two-run double in the fifth, an inning that saw the Brooks rally for three runs. , ■> Now that the pennant has been won, the question arises as to who was responsible for the achieve ment. There are many factors; no one could be singled out. How could they have won without the fine hurling of Joe Black? What about the' improved bench? How about the old pros of the club: Robinson, Reese, Cox, Hodges, Campanula, Pafko, Snider, and Hoe? This, bear in mind, was a pennant that had to be won. The fans were staying away from Ebbets Field in droves. Chuck Dressen was an the spot. After all, hadn't his teani blown a 13^2-game lead the year be fore? Hadn't he publicly stated that he wouldn't blow this one? And, in the final analysis, it is apparent to the careful observer that there is really no difference m the management of Dressen or Leo Durocher of the Giants. Each Plays the same type-of startegic game. Each handles pitchers the same. But, as Leo himself says, By TED SOENS Assistant Sports Editor 6-s. Jesse and 6-4 Captain Sledzik, he’ll have Joe, who at 6-3 will be a big help on the rebounding. Wouldn’t this be enough to make College coaches groan? Down at Colgate, one of our bas ketball rivals this year, they have —or should we say had—a big young athlete whose 'nickname should have been Frank Merri well. Mr. A 1 Antinelli, at 6’ 3”, was supposed to be a big gun on the basketball team thisf year. In fact^he was supposed to be a big help in practically every major sport they have—baseball, foot ball, and basketball. .He was rated the best fresh man prospect to come to the Red Raiders. And to give you some more insight into his ability—he was to Colgate as Jesse is to State. However, some big league scouts got wind of A 1 and sold him on playing big league base ball. To make it s h ort— he . signed and oh, did his coaches groan!!! .. According to the AP on Satur day, one of our former rival bas ketballers has signed up to play professional ball. Big, All-Ameri can Mark Workman, from West Virginia, will report to the Mil waukee Hawks for the forthcom ing season. Bui it's not all tears down at the Mountineers home, for al though they have lost one of their best players they have plenty of replacements. For in stance, they have a freshman player reporting who is sup posed fo tower between 6-9 and 6-10—and down there freshmen are allowed to play varsity ball. Incidentally,- he won some hon ors in high school for his play ing ability. Penh State did a fine job of holding down Workman, now we’ll have to wait to see what they’ll do against another giant. By BARRY FEIN “It’s all in the cards.” The jubilation that will reign in Brooklyn will soon be tempered by the realization that the Dod gers have never won a World Series. The Yankees, who moved a step closer to becoming Series playmates of the Bums yesterday as the Cleveland-Indians lost to the Chicago White Sox, 10-1, are no mean opponents in a Series. They have won 17 World Series since 1921! The Indians took their first loss in seven games as Joe Dobson set them down with only six hits. Three bingles in the third gave the Tribe its only scalp. The Chisox counted coup io the _ tune of five in the first against Mike Garcia who was out for his 23rd win. Even if the Injuns win its three remain ing games, the Bronx Bombers need only to win half of their six for a fie. The New York Knockers mean while sat by in their hotel rooms at Boston as the rains belted the Back Bay. Manager Casey Stengel has Vic Raschi ready for the first game of today’s twin-bill 1 in the Hub. The Bosox will have Ellis Kinder and Mel Parnell set. These same Red Sox are finding it hard' to stay in the first divis ion. The Philadelphia A’s, who are out to astound the baseball world by a first-division finish, tightened their grip on fourth place yesterday by sliding past the Washington Nats, 4-3.
