Sport Shorts By Paul Genst Basewall Notes
Clete Bayer faces potential payout after critical comments about the Atlanta manager. Several clubs may seek his services. The Game of the Week features the Cards at Cincinnati Saturday. INL will be the second TV appearance for the Reds and perhaps the Red Birds. The St. Louis club leads the red hot eastern division by a game over the Pirates. The Birds struggled in Pittsburgh, scoring one run in the first two games while dropping a pair. Yankee fans should note their club halted Jim Tiunter’s streak at eight and Sonny Siebert’s at nine. The Yanks are fourth in the aftern stage. Baltimore leads the AL East by four points over the slipping Red Sox. The Tigers are 24 games back. The Twins have blown a four game lead in a week while losing five straight. Manager Carl Weaver believes the Orioles will hit their stride this month. The Tigers are starting to get pitching, which could spell trouble. In the National, the sizzling Giants lead LA by 9% in the West. In the East just one game separates the Cards, Bucs and Mets. It’s June, not September, so no need for extra excitement.
