PAcific 8457 me ky MARINE 5746 Promises won bridge vote Having conducted an energetic campaign against the lease-sale of the Second Narrows Bridge to the Canadian National Railways, Tom McEwen, editor of the Pacific Tribune stated this week: “The overwhelming ‘‘Yes’’ vote ‘| recorded by North Shore citizens in- favor of placing the Second Narrows Bridge under CNR con- trol doesn’t prove that those who opposed handing it over to the CNR were wrong. It only proves that extravagant promises of lower taxes and increased pros- perity through promised indus- trial expansion, backed by a pow- erful political machine, have a powerful appeal to people whose area was long depressed and neglected. “At this stage of the struggle between the people versus the monopoly interests,’’ declared Mic- Ewen, “I cannot but regard the transfer of a municipal utility to the CNR as a_ backward step. However, a large majority of the electors of the North Shore show- ed by their votes that they think differently, and while I’ and others who opposed the handing over of the bridge must respect their decision we will also re- main alert to, and warn against the dangers to the people’s inter- ests implicit in this deal.” Vancouver Second Hand Store @ Stove Parts and Repairs @ Used Plumbing Supplies 22 He ~ SPORTLIGHT By BERT WHYTE “NEVER UNDERESTIMATE those Yankees,” said the waiter as he brought me a beer. The score was 4-2 and Reese had just flied tio Woodling for the third out in the ninth to give the Yankees another World Series pennant. Next to a world heavyweight championship fight, a World Series interests more people than any other sports event on this continent. Although nearly everyone was rooting for the Dodgers, the wise money (my solitary buck bet included) rode,on the New Yorkers. Like Marciano against Walcott, the Yankees figured ‘to win, zs But man, was:it ever close! Just as old Jersey Joe nearly up- set the dope and beat Rocky, so the Brooklyn gang almosti took the ffabulous Yankees to the cleaners. They failed, but forced the Series to seven ‘games and gave every baseball fan enough thrills to talk about for a lifetime—or at least until the opening of the 1953 season. * * * DECIDING FACTOR in the Series was the Yankee’s edge in the chucking department. At that the Bombers had to use up Ed Lopat, Allie Reynolds,. Vic Raschi and finally Bob Kazuava to halt the Bums in the final game. While the Yankee moundmen can take their quota of bows, most of the cheers went to Mickey Mantle, whose homeric swat over the right field wall put the Yankees ahead in the sixth. For good measure, Mantle rapped out a single in the seventh, scoring McDougald to make it 4-2, the final score. a * x PRESS REPORTS that 20-year-old Mantle may soon be drafted iby the U.S. army should be taken with a grain of salt. Fact is, {Mickey iis ineligible for the service because of chronic osteomyelitis, fa bone inflammation of the left leg, resulting from an accidental kick when he was playing football at ‘high school. He’s been up a couple of time before draft boards and graded 4F. Mickey first joined the Yankees at Phoenix in the spring of 1951. He was a small town kid from Spavinaw, Oklahoma. Try and find it on any map and you'll fail. Nearest “big” centre was Commerce. Population, 2,000. Mantle joined the Yanks as a shortstop from the Joplin, Mis- .383 and banged out 26 home runs the year before. Said Casey Stengel: “The kid is jumping five classifications at once and is going into a strange position. If the can make it he’s a wonder.” Well, Mickey ‘turned out to tbe a wonder. Stengel had confidence in Mantle after watching him in action on his return to the big time. “He’s the only left-handed batter I’ve ever seen hit the centre-field wall in Yankee Stadium,” said Casey, who loves a clouter. This confidence paid off in the Series this year- This sensational catch by right-felder Carl Furillo robbed Johhny Mize of a game-tying homer in the eleventh inning of the thrilling fifth game. The Bums won the game, 6-5, but the Yankees went on to take the Series. PACIFIC TRIBUNE — OCTOBER 10, 1952 — PAGE 7 souri, club of the Class C Western Association, where he batted -
