He accomplished the feat in the seventh inning with the winning pitcher, Jim Barr. studiously looking on and giving advice. Rader stepped to the plate with the Giants about to be blanked by the Phillies Billy Champion.

TflWM PLAYING ON most schoolboy baseball fields is like playing on a giant sliding board.

The' field is as hard as Superman's fists. Or Frazier's head. To get the art of playing on the diamonds down to a a player needs skis. Well, are the fields really all that bad? My answer is yes. I think the Alpine Championships should be held on them.

Some of the dirt on these playing areas could pose as rock. That sort of complicates matters, since the fielders have to watch out for landslides. An outfielder coming into the dugout at the end of the inning needs mountain climbing spikes. Sometimes he has to stop along the way lor oxygen. Some fields have never seen a grounder.

The average worm burner turns out to be a sky high fly. And the average high fly comes down with dew on it. Some of these fields are so bad that a movie critic announced that he didn't think the movie "Downhill Racer" could have been filmed on them. They're just too steep not even fit for goats. And so it goes on and on about playing fields.

There are all types that schoolboys play on. One school had a diamond that sported an infield loaded with tiny little beach pebbles. A couple of the players have resorted to using nose and shin guards for fear of injury. Some have even turned to errors to get out of the way. Probably the most hilarious incident I have witnessed in' my days of covering games occurred at a field located next to a trash dump.

The dump was in centerfield. 15ases loaded, two outs and a batter sends a high fly deep to center. The fielder goes back and back. All of a sudden he is stopped, not by some fence, but by a rusty, empty bucket. He's planled his fool squarely into it.

Meanwhile, the ball continues its downward flight right smack into the huge pile of rubble. After a few brief seconds, the fielder manages to run with the bucket on his flat loot. In fact, the whole team by this time is running towards the ball and the hitter is still running around the base pads lor a home run. When everyone got to the trash pile, the ball could not be found. It was like looking lor a needle in a haystack.

An enraged coach once vented his frustration alter his team got shelled 20-0, with nine homers thrown in He claimed that every time the other team hit a hard line drive, it went for a home run. The ball would shoot downhill and moved much faster in I light than the outfielders could run. Well, all you coaches, is there anything you can do about the fields you play on? Yes. Forfeit the game, or ask the other team's coach if he'll spot you a lew runs. Rut for the most part, little can be done, because that's the wav the ball bounces.
