Ralph Martinson was a stalwart up front. Cubs just couldn't get going. They looked stunned to find the Thunderbirds no Victoria Vampires. Quarterback Bob Redkey couldn't find the passing range. When he did there weren't many receivers who could hang on to the slippery ball.

Vic Chapman was the only receiver who could hang on to it. He also booted the ball well scoring Cubs' only point. But the line was outcharged and the backfield outhustled.

28-(AP) There nothing wrong with baseball that a few good crowds wouldn't cure, but this summer the average minor league team and some of the majors could not get a crowd with bull-whips. While most of the clubs around the country were. wallowing in financial mud, three teams in the Western International League managed to keep the fans coming. Lewiston drew 82,000 and Saiem 81,000 for the season. Placing behind Edmonton's i 82,000.

The third is Tri-City, which played to a phenomenal part of city life. The players were accepted as members of the community rather than baseball tourists. The popularity of baseball in the Pasco-Kennewick-Rlch-land triangle was proven eloquently when a reporter went after a feature story in Richland, polling kids to learn who was the No, 1 childhood hero. He knew it would have to be a sports story after only six interviews. By that time he had one vote for Roy Rogers, one for President Eisenhower and four for the Braves' chubby catcher, Nick Pesut, 600 customers with a team that was consistently in or near the cellar of the 10- team circuit.

It's hard to put a finger on any one thing that kept the Tri-City pot boiling. The peppery managership of Edo Vanni undoubtedly was a big factor. Another may have been the extra attractions during the season the organization raffled off a car, a home freezer and even a batch of sewing lessons. There is a notion that home town pride had a lot to do with it. In baseball's early days the barber played first base and the shoe clerk pitched.
