Sports Columnist
With Father’s Day near at hand I
think it is only fitting that we look at
these men who are responsible for
helping mold the lives of their chil
dren and for bringing home the bacon.
Regardless of what the child phy
chologists say about modern day Fa
thers being too busy for family life,
I still see them at Cub Scout meetings,
baseball games, church and at school
activities with their families. You will
also find that present day Fathers just
like their Fathers before, are just as
quick to praise and discipline their
children and are not as permissive as
often accused.
Then you wonder what’s so differ
ent about present day Fathers who
have children of organized sports age
as compared to those of say 15 years
agp. I contend that today’s average Fa
ther is more interested and concerned
about his child’s development in the
world of sports. They buy good equip
ment, furnish excellent fields and
arenas, provide improved coaching and
napst important, encourage their chil
dren to do their best.
In our present day of high pres
sure business and finances it’s only
natural for Fathers to seek an emo
tional release on golf courses, softball
fields, fishing streams, and at hobbies
which they esjoy. This does not mean
however that he loves his family less
than did the Father of yore.
It means, I think, that he needs
more time to himself. Drawing on my
personal experience as a boy, I re
member that my Father worked long
hours six days a week; therefore, he
had very little spare time to toss a
ball with us or go fishing or just sit
and talk about life in general. There’s
one thing he did in spite of s he short
ness of time and that was to instill
in us a true sense of responsibility.
Consequently, it’s not the amount of
time a Father spends with his family
that counts—it’s the way in which he
uses Urat precious commodity that’s
important.
So, being a loyal and faithful mem
ber of the fraternity of Fathers, I
would like to pass on to you a poem
of unknown origin which sums up Fa
thers as ticket holders to the game of
life.
Let me live, 0 mighty Master
Such a life as man should know,
Testing triumph and disaster,
Joy—and not too much woe.
Let me run the gamut over;
Let me fight and love and laugh,
And when I’m beneath the clover
Let this be my epitath:
“Here lies one who took his chances

in the busy world of men.
Battled luck and circumstance,
Fought and fell and fought again.
Won sometimes, but did no crowing,
Lost sometimes, but did no wailing.
Took his beating, kept on going,
Never let his courage fail.
He was fallible and human,
Therefore loved and understood by
Both his fellow men and women.
Whether good or not so good,
Kept his spirits undiminished;
Never false to any friend;
Played the game until it was finished.
Lived a sportsman to the end.”
RED CHIEF
The question asked most frequent
ly around baseball is “when will the
Cincinnati Reds Superchief jump
track?” To date they have compiled
an amazing 44-17 won loss record for
a .721 average. In the Western Divis
ion they lead the Los Angeles Dodgers
by 101/2 games and the third place
Braves by 11. Both the Braves and
Dodgers are around the .550 percent
age mark which is considered respect
able in any league.
At the Reds’ present rate the West
ern division could be decided by mid-
August.
There has never been any doubt
about the Reds’ hitting with such hard
charges as Pete Rose, .300; Bobby Ta
lan, .321; Tony Perez, .376; Lee May,
.292; and Johnny Berch, .288, forming
a pitcher nightmare. Cincinnati leads
both leagues in hitting with a .275
team average.
For the first time in seasons the
Reds pitching staff has kept pace with
their hitting. Cincinnati’s four starters
have a 34-10 record with a 2.87 earned
run average per game. Jauon Mari
chal, the San Francisco Giants great
righthander, once remarked that he
would give the Reds his $120,000 sal
ary if he couldn’t win 25 games for
them each season. Unless the Reds
turn sour we could see four Cincin
nati pitchers win 25 games this season,
a world’s record.
TOURNAMENT
The annual Four Ball Invitational
Tournament is scheduled for next
Sunday, 21st of June at the Perry
Country Club. Wiltz Bernard, club pro,
states that the 40 team limit has been
met and that several teams are on
the waiting list. Over half of the en
tries are from out of town. Many of
Middle Georgia’s top amateurs have
entered this highly regarded tourna
ment which makes for an exciting day
of golf for our fair city.
