Werd Serc Chick'en In The Rough By CHICK SHIELS They sorta caught the Sports Page in the middle this time around the coop and there isn't too much that can be done about the matter. The Furman game will be old news by the time this material hits the streets so there is little use in discussing that matter. Needless to say we wish the Game cocks the best of luck in their efforts with the Purple Hur ricane. This present World Series has brought about many a fasci nating situation as far as "the" games are concerned. Ticket "scalpers" are having the troubles of a life time in trying to make "a living." The story is rumored around that one "scalper" (who, incidentally, is a gent engaged in the busi ness of buying a ticket for its face value or there abouts and then selling it to a rabid fan at about 100% profit ... whew!) purchased a ducket for the third game of the Series at Fen way Park for a "fee" and, after combing hotel lobbies, etc., with no luck, gave up and saw the game himself . .. on his own ticket. That's almost the 8th wonder of the world. There is no reason given for the fact that Bostonians are against the hometowners, as exhibited by their failure to turn out in the usual droves that mark a World Series tilt. Master Theodore Williams isn't doing too much for the cause, either, and the cash customers realize this fact, too. But it still costs them money. Williams, who since his rise to stardom has always been the center of much attraction from the Grandstand coaches, isn't even getting his usual thunder of booing when in action. Your scribe recalls the two years in which Cincinnati had a World Series to boast of and the excitement that accom panied each match. In 1939 and 1940 when the Redlegs played host to Detroit and New York, the "City of Seven Hills" just about went beyond control. The scalpers had a field day, the fans had a personal affiliation with each of the hometown players (anyhow, he or she thought so) and generally everything stopped to allow the Series to blast away. Customers brought cots and bed rolls to the ticket of fice windows the night before the games with the idea of picking up the best seats to be had. Some even came days ahead of time. When this happens in a town, you know that something is about to break loose. It is really hard to figure out why Beantown isn't more receptive to their first pennant in many a moon. Even though Ted Williams hasn't shown his mid-season form in the battle for the World Championship, Manager Joe Cronin of the Red Sox dispelled any rumors that the 1ankyTT AAAAm&&&"V w nt . ... . - th .. n 197. Personally, if we were in Cronin's shoes, we wouldn't let the long Cali fornian get out of sight much less off the roster! High school football is suffering many a blow these days. Last week, Henry Frnka, Jr., son of Tulane's head coach, died of an injury sustained in a game which he had engi neered to a win for his followers and just lately it was re ported that a 17-year-old lad in Philly had undergone an operation for a brain injury suffered in scrimmage. His con dition was said to be serious and the delicate operation was performed while he was in a coma. Frnka was in the same situation and failed to pull through. His injury came about with just two minutes of playing time remaining in the game. This is really something to make us think!. The roost is moderately dull but something is in the air. Look closely to see that the Clemson game is not too far in the future. In about ten days the spark will burst into a red hot flame. All Carolinians know just what this means and this year's bout should be a honey with both teams back to a peace time standard once again. One game that needs no "spirit" unless you're with Keith is the Tiger-Bird affair. It will soon be here. Right OFF The Nest ..if everybody will get "hot" there should be many a fan at the out-of-town games this year . . . trains, as you have heard, will be provided . . . look to the Carolina-Clemson game to produce more "situations" and oddities than before .

Game number four was all St. Louis. The Cards started hitting in the second inning and just didn't know when to stop.
