Hog-Caller Goes West and Riders in Baseball Notes
The column reports Larry Ludtke being assigned to Bakersfield from the Raiders after a late signal despite a late surge in form. It highlights Ludtke’s clutch relief runs including four straight saves and a key 6-5 win, plus a contrast with his calm personality and earlier fine for arguing with an ump. It also notes Ohio State football end Leo Brown, a promising sophomore from Portsmouth, and a humorous Peoria dugout moment. Additionally it mentions Kent State increasing stadium seats to 18 inches for comfort, reducing capacity.
