Craftsmanship Gambits Not New

all hit straight up in the air
While Miller was going for new
altitude records, the Giants
Bill Terry, a lefthanded hitter,
reached out and hit two wrong
way home runs into the shiny
new bleachers to beat us.
I can guarantee you that no
man, friend or foe, ever hit an
other ball in there. My father
didn't lose his temper more Oft
en- than once every decade, but
he came storming back up to
his office after the game, jerk
ing his thumb over his shoul-
der in the general direction of
those treacherous bleachers Che
couldn't bear to turn and look
and shouting: out! Out! Out!'
Calmer heads tried to pre-
vail, but my father was in
such a rage at being defeated by
his own brilliant idea that he
couldn't trust himself to speak.
"Out!" he said, choosing his
words with exquisite care. Out!
Out! Quit"
The bleachers were pulled
out the next morning, and
Hack Miller departed shortly
thereafter. The dismantling job
was done so quickly that a SIM
pie red brick wall had to be
left across the area where the
new bleachers had been.
Old timers will remember
that fence, because it remained
there for years, daily remind
ing my father of his folly.

your ankles. This gives your
feet support and protects SEN
sitive tendons. Therefore the
boots shouldn't be of too soft
leather, while soft enough to
avoid chatting.
Remember, your boots are
one of the most important
parts of your equipment. At
first, you'll move like a diver
in his lead boots on dry
ground.
Here's a piece of advice:
Before you go out skiing for
the first time in a season,
put your boots on and walk
around for a while. You need
this "walk-in" period to give
your feet and circulation time
to get accustomed to the
weight and pressure.
This is an old recipe of
mine. I never failed to follow
it before my medal-winning
races.
The rest of your equipment
is a matter of personal taste.

the Dodgers and Giants, Alvin
Dark had the baselines at Can
dlestick Park salted h eavily
with sand, possibly to make
Theda Bara, Bo Belinsky and
the rest of the Hollywood greats

More likely, though, it was
because he wanted to keep the
Dodger swifties, like Maury
Wills, from getting up a quick

FIyWeight Title
Is Recdptured
By Kingpetch

BANGKOK, Jan. IL (AP) -
Thailand's Pone Kingpetch de-
feated Masahiko (Fighting)
Harada tonight and won back
the world flyweight champion
ship he lost to the Japanese
boxer last october in Tokyo.
In the steamy Bangkok Ma
tional gymnasium, and cheered
on by more than $4,000 wildly
partisan fans, the Thai idol
staged a battling comeback dur
ing the last half-dozen rounds
for a 15-round split decision
and the crown. Pone weighed
l1112 pounds, Harada Ill.
There was one knockdown, in
the eighth round, when Harada
smashed Pone down for a three
count. But Kingpetch got up
as the bell ended the round.
The scorecards reflected the
narrowness of Pone's victory.
Judge Nat Fleischer of New
York, editor of Ring Magazine,
he'd it 71-67 for Pone. The
Japanese judge, Haruo Ishiwa-
tarido. called it a 69-69 draw,
and Thai Referee Sangvien Hi
ramleka favored Pone 72-67.
The first part of the fight
saw Harada hold the advantage
as he rocked Pone with left
jabs and right crosses. But when
Harada failed to follow up his
advantage after the knock
down, Pone rallied.
Cheers rocked the arena, with
the temperature in the upper
80's, as Pone countered the 19-
Harada's rushing tao
tics with barrages Of left jabs
and an occasional uppercut-I
his best weapon.
A small cut was opened over
Pone's left eye in the seventh
After the fight, his
cheekbone was swollen and red
from the brunt of Harada's
jabs.

by any fair-minded citizens,
except those who are acquaint-
ed with OMalley and the pow
er structure of baseball.
San Francisco won the game
anyway, although between you
and me 1 supect that Billy
Pierce's well preserved left arm
had as much to do with it as
the condition of the infield.
Incidentally, I have a strin-
gent moral code I apply to
these matters. If it works, it's
OK. If it doesn't you are left
with a silly smile on your face,
and I'm here to tell you that
silly smiles are immoral.
This is not a code I learned
at my daddy's knee, my daddy
having been a conservative,
fair-minded man, as anyone
who knew him will attest.
I During all of his years as
president of the Chicago Cubs,
he flirted a primitive form Of
gamesmanship only once. He
was, as far as I know, the first
man to move in a fence to help
one of his hitters. 1t turned
out to be a tragic experience.
| The Cubs had an outfielder
named Hack Miller, who had
once doubled as a circus strong
man. Hack could hit the ball a
long way but the fence in Ole
Wrigley Field was so deep that
most of his long drives were
merely long outs.
This was in the mid-twen,
ties, during the time wher
Babe Ruth was just beginning
to set home run records, anc
so my daddy, a foresightec
man, decided to create his owr
Ruth by building a section o,
bleachers in front of the ole
leftfield fence.
The bleachers we're built a,
hastily as possible so the!

and equipment bought in
America. In Europe, it would
cost about $120.
AS a beginner, you don't
have to have flashy skis and
super-stretch pants. On the
other hand, those lowest
priced skis won't last long
enough to carry you as a
champion. Therefore I sug-
fest you pick a medium-price
ski of laminated wood, or, if
you have the cash, a fiber or
metal ski.
One important thing is
weight. Your skis shouldn't
be too heavy because your
legs at first won't be accus-
toned to such a weight. Met
al and fiber skis, although
about twice as expensive as
laminated wooden skis, are
easier to maneuver, especial
ly in deep snow. On hard
packed snow the difference
between wood and metal or
fiber is almost nil-for the
beginner.
The other important thing
is length. Normally, the ski
tips should just nestle inside
your wrist when your arm is
raised.
However, people with little
athletic aptitude shoulz start
out with sohrter skis, which
are easier to handle. A be-
ginner'S skis S hould be as
long as he Cor she) is tall.
One thing about short skis:
Get rid of them once you
are beyond the beginners
stage. Why? Because the bet
ter you ski, the faster you
want to go. Short skis have
a tendency to start flutter-
ing at a certain speed, CIV
ing you trouble in maneuv-
ers, while long skis rest firm
ly on the ground even at high
speed.
The brakes on your skis are
knife-sharp steel bands noun
mounted along the borders of
the sole. They are called
"edges."
The edges give the skis a
grip on the snow and ice to
prevent them from slipping
out of control on a hard
packed surface. Put into a
sharp angle against the snow,
the edges check the gliding
and produce a braking action.
This is called "edging."
The most important safety
device, besides braking edges,
is the binding which holds
