THE EVENING CITIZEN, OTTAWA, CANADA Page 15 Saturday, August 2, 1952 Willi Red Smith At The Olympics Play A Ball Game Called Pesa pallo 0 the same service for the English language while composing program notes to explain Pesapallo to foreigners. "The batsman, or striker," wrote this Helsinki Rud Ren-nle, "must try by power of hit of his own and team-fellows to run from base to base with home-base as final objective. The striker Is allowed three serve, i.e., a serve rising at least meter above his head and falling, if not connected by the bat, within base-plats with a diameter of 60 cm." Pesapallo hasn't yet achieved Olympic status and was presented merely as an exhibition for about 25,000 spectators i Olympic Stadium. Two nine man teams came trotting in from the outfield In single file, converged in a at home plate and removed caps. Their captain stepped forward and shook hands with the referee, a Joker in cinnamon brown carrying a bat, possibly In self defence.

The players wore baseball uniforms, white for on team, malevolent red for the other. "Assistant Controllers" Four other Jokers In brown did a lock step on to the field. These were "assistant controllers" or base umpires. A tasty shortcake in gay peasant costume threw a ball oit to the referee and dropped a deep curtsy. The referee fired the ball which is about the size and weight of a ten cent "rocket" to the server, blew a long blast on a police whistle.

The game was on. A Pesapallo field Is a lopsided pentagon 298 feet long and 131 feet wide at its broadest. The pitcher stands across the plate from the batter and tosses the ball straight up like a fungo hitter. Base runners all act like Dodgers gone berserk. That is, they start for third base and then get lost.

First base Is just where Phil Rlzzuto 7 likes to place his bunts; in Yankee Stadium it would be between third base and the mound. If Finns didn't use chalk lines instead of fence, second base would be against the right field wall. Third is directly opposite, on the left field boundary. The route from their home Is a dogleg to the left. The plate is a trash can cover, two feet in diameter.

Durocher would bat 1,000. Must Hit Garbage Can The pitcher may fling the ball as high as he choses but if it doesn't drop on the garbage can lid it's outside the strike zone. Two successive faulty serves they must be consecutive constitute a walk, but the batter goes to first' only when there are no runners aboard. Otherwise the runner who has advanced farthest takes one more base. The batter gets three strikes but nobody is required to run on a hit except on the third strike.

Players are retired only on strikeouts, plck-offs, or throws that beat them to a base. On a fly that is caught, the batter Is only he is not out. A wounded man just stands aside and awaits his next jF 0 iff' Fouls In Wild Cage Tilt umpire Jocko Conlan seems to runner safe. Groat Injured his and had to leave the game.

He staggered off the court three minutes before the end of the first half and collapsed full-length in front of the players' bench. He came to life after being rubbed with ointment and fanned vigorously with a shirt. At the game's end, Lombardo stood for minute in the center of the court, then started to topple over like a felled tree.

Friendly hands caught him, however, and carried him to the dressing room to be revived once again. Different Today None of that kind of excitement Is expected today when the Americans battle Russia for the championship. The American players Just grin ruefully when a "foul" is called on them; the Russians often grimace and raise their hands in mock horror. But their conduct has always been punctilious on the court the same as all other Communist athletes participating in the Olympic Games. The U.S.

has a psychological edge on the Russians, having beaten them, 86-58, in a semifinal series encounter on By Jack Hand Am delated Press Sport Writer Rookie Jim (Dusty) Rhodes Hooks like the man the New iYork Giants have been waiting for since Willie Mays marched off to the army. With seven home runs in 10 carries at the jPolo Grounds, the Nashville 'grad gives Manager Leo Dur- ocher needed strength in the outfield to help the club's latest drive on the league- Jleading Brooklyn Dodgers. With Rhodes a fixture In left and Monte Irvin back in right field, Durocher made the final move, to tighten his outer defence last night when he shifted Bobby Thomson from third base to center field. Hank Thompson moved from center back to his old third-base Job. Shake-Up Didn't Click The Thomson-Thomnson shake-up didn't click when Durocher tried desperately to fill the hole left by Mays.

Hank prompting Leo to restore his "regular" infield, Leo's latest "operation shake-well" nroduced the desired result.

What the Finns did to the game which Doubleday did not invent shouldn't happen In Brooklyn. Not even under Its Finnish name "Pesapallo." Although Pesapallo Is only about 30 years old, it Is a monstrous Infant that has grown up to be Finland's national sport. It was Invented by Laurl Pihkala, a professor who wears a hearing aid and believes his game was modelled on baseball.

Somebody must have described baseball to him when his battery was dead. "Well," explained a tolerant Finn, "one took baseball and, ah." He paused to grope for a word meaning adapted, "and, ah, mutilated it." he said. An Explanation Somebody then performed 66 Personal By Charles Whiting Canadian Press Snort Writer HELSINKI Uruguay finished third in the Olympic Basketball Tournament last night by de featlng a washed-out Argentina quintet, 68-59, in a roughhouse Interrupted by a free-for-all fight. A total of 66 personal fouls were committed 42 called against Argentina, which ended the tournament in fourth place. Nine Argentine players and four Uruguayans were ejected for fouling and one Uruguayan was banished for starting the fight.

Only three. Argentine players and four Uruguays were on the court for the last zy2 minutes of play. 'The fight almost turned into a donnybrook as players, managers, coaches and spectators boiled onto the court when the swinging and shoving started.

turn at bat. One who has been put out may not bat again in the same inning; if his turn comes around, they skip him. An inning ends after three putouts or after wounded.) That's about all, except that over the fence would be a foul ball if there were a fence. Hits must bounce in fair territory. A Ralph Klner would be a bum, In Pesapallo; a Leo Durocher whose fungo stick Is a squirrel rifle that can brush a fly off an inflelder's ear, would be a Finnish Willie Keeler.

No Balk Rule Here This game progressed at bewildering 6peed with the ball practically always in motion. There is no- balk rule. The server would fake a toss for the batter and whip the ball to a baseman on an attempted pick off. The baseman would fake a throw back and try the hidden ball play. Inf ielders, outfielders, and the pitcher-catcher, they heaved that apple around with the sleight-of-hand of the Harlem Globetrotters.

(This can happen if enough men are run, with the batter clubbing the ball Into the earth Wee a man beating a snake, then standing still at the plate while the base runners sprinted across the landscape. Everybody show-boated frantically.

Base umpires lifted cardboard signs to signal "safe" or "out" and the referee announced decisions on his whistle in a sort of Morse code of dots and dashes. Finally a guy named Elno Kaakkolahtl slapped a bounding ball past one inflelder, through a second Inflelder, and past an outfielder, with one runner on base. It was a triple, which counts as a home run In Finland. That was as much as one foreigner can take. (Copyright, 1932, Herald.

Clint Courtney drove in both runs with a homer and single as Allie Reynolds was knocked out. Paige came on the scene after Yanks scored one run off Gene Bear- den and had the bases loaded with two out in the seventh.

He blanked the Yanks on one hit the rest of the way. The Yanks' loss and Cleveland's 6-5 triumph over Phila-d 1 1 a on Larry Doby's lOth-inning home run reduced New York's lead to two games.
