The Wilmington morning star., 1944-05-03
By WHITNEY MARTIN

NEW YORK, May g. Up Nat
uraly that game at t h polo
grounds last Sunday when the
giants defeated the Brooklyn dod
gers, 26 to 8, will go down in his
tory as a baseball atrocity. and
there are those who say it IS too
had ouch a crime had to be COM
rnitted before 5000 people.
We don't share that idea as it is
a safe bet that none of the IS, GGS
would have missed it for the world,
as it will give everyone present
something to talk about for years
to come, and whereas a couple of
3 to or to l games soon would
be forgotten as just another double
header. The fans never will forget
the 26 to 8 game, and will take
pride years hence in saying:
Yep, I saw the giants beat the
dodgers back in "A, Is to 8, and
one man knocked in II runs"
The fans of course condemn it as
a horrible exhibition of the nationa
pastime, ad nobody can figure out
out how such things happen. They
just happen, that's all, but for
tuna ely on such rare occasions
that they only serve to emphasize
the consistently good quality Of
the everyday bail.
It's such freaks that burrow a
place in the mind and stay there.
The pro football playoff between
the Washington Redckins and the
Chicago bears a few years ago
would have been just another play
off if the bears hadn't won, 70 to
0. Nearly anyone can tell you there
was fellow named Roy Riege1s
who ran the wrong way with the
ball in a Rose Bowl football game,
but comparatively few could tell
you what teams were competing,
or which won.
Anyway, we are CAD that 5S,O6S
fans turned out for the Sunday bill,
and that attendance at most of the
other major league parks that day

probable starter in the outfield is
Pvt. Ed Rush whose long triple

outer works will be filled out by
Sgt. Tom Caliento.
First base will be held down by
Sgt. Joe Messing and shortstop will
be patrolled by Pfc. Fred Posto-

post at second involves Sgt. Joe
