10 the examiner Friday Oct 14 1077 sports hee By ED HARPER World Series is very special gt 33 Chay With the writing of this column the first World Series game between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers is over with the Yankees winning to decision in the 12th inning This is the ninth time that the Yankees and the Dodgers have met for the Worlds title No other two teams have met as often in World Series play This is only the second meeting since the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles from Brooklyn The modern World Series originated in 1903 when the Pittsburgh team won the National League flag and the Boston Red Sox had been victorious in the American League The 1903 postseason contest was the result of challenges and acceptances by the individual clubs and did not have league supervision In 1904 when the Boston club re ated its triumph in the American League they challengetfihe New York Giants to series that team having won the National League pen nant The reply by John McGraw manager of the Giants that he did not wish to endanger the standing of my team by sending it against junior league club almost precipitated new baseball war McGraw had been manager and part owner of the Baltimore aggregation in the American League of which Ban Johnson was president In midseason 1903 McGraw jumped the club to become manager of the Giants His sale of his stock was to party interested in the National League and before Johnson recovered control of the shares there was more commotion than could be started by 10 tons of dynamite McGraws belittling remark concerning the American League Boston Red Sox of 1904 caused Ban Johnson to set off some new verbal pyrotechnics The magnates of baseball sensing impending hostitlities created truce during the meetings in the winter of 190405 by agreeing to an annual postseaon series to begin in 1905 They did this more to placate Johnson than with the thought that the series would become classic gold mine of unparalled kind Post season play was not an original idea in 1903 when Boston and Pittsburg exchanged challenges and accep tances The National League had previously had rival in the American Association which originated in 1882 In 1884 the Association pennant winners challenged the National Champions and this led to annual clashes from 1884 to 1890 inclusive There was no series in 1891 as the American League disbanded that year as the season closed The first rules for World Series play were laid down in 1905 by the National Commission Those laws almost unchanged exist today It was decided that the series would be on bestfouroutofseven basis which rule was operative un til 1919 In1919 1920 and 1921 it was5 out of9 but changed back to out of in 1922 The World Series games have produced many great heroes during the many years they have been held but going through the record books the feat of Don Larsen stands out On October 8th 1956 he pitched perfect game the only perfect game in World Series history as he faced 27 batters and retired 27 Don pitching for the Yankees defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers 20 Larsen used only 97 pitches to retire the 27 batters an outstanding feat for Larsen who at that time was 27 years old Yogi Berra was the catcher for the Yankees in that game The World Series seems to bring out the best in some players there is always hero and always goat series can be won or lost by one good or bad play The 1977 World Series will be no exception When it is all over there will be hero of the series who will make the headlines and there will be player who wishes he could hide his head in the sand somewhere 67s upset Petes to gain top spot By THE CANADIAN PRESS First place in both divisions of the Ontario Hockey Associ ation Major Junior league changed Thursday with

game and we are just the team that can do it We will end up in first Barrie started slowly in the place first period and without some solid goaltending by Bob Toffan Oak Ridges could have put the game out of reach 30 LEAD Oak Ridges took 30 lead after the first period but Toffan had no chance on any of the goals The defence left him at the mercy of the Oak Ridges shooters completely forgetting about clearing the puck away from the front didnt even see two of said the the net goals that got by me Toffan The second period was scoreless Whatever Forbes said to the lub between periods seemed to have some effect as the Colts came out flying in the final frame and outscored the visitors 42 We just started to play too late Forbes said You cant expect to only play hoc Oak Ridges ey for five minutes and beat team like Were going to have to toughen up on defence he added few the defencemen were just standing around and watching Some of our forwards are little short of guts too and they will get them or they wont be on the club Steve Sherman last years league scoring champion put Oak Ridges on the board early in the first period Dale Roffey caught Barrie defenceman out of position and made no mistake He carried the puck down the boards waited until the defenceman came at him and then fed perfect pass to Sherman who was all alone in front of Toffan Sherman made it 20 minute

third goal of the Blair Sullivan picked up the puck at the Barrie blue line and put great move on Walton Walton was caught looking at the puck instead of taking out the man Sullivan went around him and rifled hard wrist shot to the top corner CAME OUT STRONGER Barrie came out stronger in the second period but just couldnt get break The Colts had numerous chances but the puck would either bounce over their sticks or Oak Ridges goaltender Dunc Brumwell would come up with the big save Bob Coulson finally put Barrie on the scoreboard at 330 of the third period as he rifled shot from the point that found its way into the bottom corner of the net Oak Ridges came back with two goals right after that as Cam Reston an Colts didnt give up when 0a Tony Robinson found the mark Ridges made it 51

game as he scored two goals and came within an ace of tying game with two minutes left He was the net but fired wide the left alone at the corner of Barrie outshot Oak Ridges 1210 in the third period

theory that his rapport with players rather than his reputation as dis ciplinarian is the reason why British Columbia Lions are the surprise leaders in the Western Conference of the Canadian Football League Rapps handling of the touchy Wayne Smith situation in train ing camp in June has been cited as one of the major factors in the Cinderellalike climb of the Lions this season Smith Canadian who once was an Eastern Conference all star at defensive end for Ottawa Rough Riders was slow in reporting to camp and Ragp immediately suspended the vet eran few days later Smit wa traded to Toronto Argonauts The Smith thing was just something that had to be done at the time Rapp said in an interview Thursday Rapp said he didnt come to though allstars like Smith Bill Baker the Lions to clean house even and Ray Nettles were traded away from the defence for lesserknown players STRESS TEAM PLAY The emphasis this season with BC winning nine of its first 12 games has been on team play said
