Bailey then stepped up and lashed a double to left and all of a sudden; the 14,178 fans, who had been sitting in stunned silence for most of the night, hud a chance to whoop Hup. Then in the ninth, after Ernie McAnally and Tom Walker had combined to hold the Dodgers offence to one single during the final three innings, the Expos started to move against John. "When a sinker ball pitcher tires, he starts getting the ball up and gets into trouble," noted Expos' manager Gene Mauch. That's exactly what happened to John. With one out, Pepe Mangual lashed a double to the left-field corner and then Singleton was walked.

Dodgers' manager, Walter Alston thi brought in Jim Brewer to face Bailey, who has had some hits off the Los Angeles reliever, but usually has had problems with the southpaw. game of their three-game scries. In other National League games San Francisco defeated Philadelphia 3-1, Houston downed St. Louis 3-2, Cincinnati won 5-3 over Pittsburgh, New York blanked San Diego 3-0 and Atia.ita defeated Chicago 7-4. Bailey did not get the winning hit.

Boots Day did that as he poked a bases-loaded single through the right side of the Dodgers' infield in the bottom of the ninth. But if Bailey had not cracked a two-run double in the seventh and a three-run homer fn the Day's hit would probably not have had much significance. Lead seemed" safe It appeared that lefthander Tommy John, whose sinker ball was causing the Expos fits, was going to finally, post his first win over Montreal after two losses.

Storey resigned, when the Westwick story was picked up by the wire services and Campbell accused Westwick of breaking confidence in writing his yarn. Campbell and Westwick are on friendly terms again and Westwick Wednesday left no doubt he had no feeling of guilt over the story. Paper broke rule Westwick was tempted only once to leave The Journal in his 47-year career and is grateful now that the paper broke a long-standing rule to entice him to stay on with a pay raise. He has passed his loyalty to the paper on to his staff. In the last 12 years, only two staffers have quit.

In his farewell 'column in The Journal Wednesday, Westwick recalls the advice he got from Henry Bur-chall, a former city editor of The New York Times. "Try and remember to steer clear of the prima donnas in staff selections watch for attitudes." Westwick also passed on to his staffers the belief that reporters should report the facts first. After they became good reporters, good writing would follow, he believed. Nor should reporters write about their difficulties in reporting, the news. "Remember that no one is in-terested in reporter's, only the news," he often told young people joining his staff.

Starting with P. D. Ross, Westwick has been blessed with editors who felt sports sold papers. These included E. Norman Smith and his son I.

But perhaps the most sports-minded of all was Grattan O'Leary. Senator O'Leary often disagreed with the sports pages of The Journal and never missed an opportunity to tell Westwick of how he felt. "But if you ever change your views because of what I say, I'll fire you," O'Leary would tell his sports editor. By Stuart Lake Canadian Press staff write Bill Westwick, who retired Wednesday as sports editor of The Ottawa Journal, was a newspaperman of the old school. He banged out his stories on a typewriter with two fingers, used 30 as his copy sign-off and until he decided many years ago to go on fce wagon permanently, could belt back beers with the best of them.

Bill also had a deep sense of responsibility for what he wrote and went out of his way not to hurt people with the millions of words that flowed from his typewriter. The lesson was drummed into him as a cub under then Journal sports editor Baz O'Meara. "Baz told me to regard the typewriter as a lethal weapon," Westwick recalled in an interview Wednesday at his cottage 35 miles north of Ottawa. It also was O'Meara who forced Westwick into deciding to write about sports rather than play them for a living. The decision probably wasn't an easy one for Westwick whose father Harry (Rat) Westwick was a member of the Silver Seven, one of Canada's most renowned hockey teams.

His brother also played pro hockey and one of his uncles was T. P. (Tommy) Gorman who holds a unique place in sport. ISo fortune, but fun "I didn't make a fortune 'but it was fun," Westwick recalled. His work took him around the world, covering baseball's World Series, Olympic Games, British Empire Games, Stanley Cup playoffs and heavyweight championship fights.

He had his share of scoops, among them a Stanley Cup playoff in Chicago in the early 1960s when he quoted National Hockey League president Clarence $24.00 Off List Use IV or 3. inch mognum.

JIM EVEXSON IS GOOD TO HIS MOTHER There are certain pauses in the ratrace every day that allow a guy's mind to think not necessarily deeply, or productively, or even with any purpose in mind. It was during one of those pauses recently that it dawned on me there exists a great gap in sports literature.

Think: Of all the graffiti you've ever seen in your life, how much of it ever had to do with sport? Politics, life, sex, and philosophy have all earned their rightful places on the washroom walls of the nation. But from St. John's to Victoria in this great country from sea to sea, not one in a million pauses to examine the cultural scribblings of the population has this student ever observed a single, solitary comment relating to the sports sphere. Certainly, if sports are to assume their rightful place in our culture, there are great gaps that cry out for the pens and pencils of sports-minded commentators on our times. Why.

there must be literally thousands of absolutely blank walls beneath the seats of hundreds of arenas and stadia in places from Burnaby to Cobo-conk. The possibilities stagger the imagination. The task of closing this cultural gap is foimidable. Until the powers that be at 333 River Roadrealize the value of instilling sports consciousness in the population by placing their message where it will be seen by every Canadian, one can only do his little bit to push things along.
