Just for those few i have taken to the task of suggesting a of enlivening the Observance of or the listening to a to Safe Golf play set Back by rain by Ron Delacy staff write Wiesbaden is rain won the first round of the Safe Golf tournament Herern is Ite of the Miles of space recently devoted herein to the tuesday the steady downpour causing Post 1 to i us it. X. Monement of the opening 18 holes of play Ati Khein Block s course. The entire 72-Hoie tournament was move Hack one Day with the opening reset for wednesday and the final round for saturday. Re to in nov Haic wednesday s round is scheduled for an 8 30baseball game. Over the radio or to that is. A m Star game itself is admittedly hopelessly Dull. But for the Man after tuesday s opening was delayed for and woman with a radio and a Little imagination excitement Horn or. Tournament officials sent off the first Sis is not out of the question. Of 11 open division w b t the wac Ner got worst instead of better the suggestions Are offered in the form of a few games to Benl Ayed by the Spectator or listener whilst he spec talks at or listens to baseball through electronics. Ironic As it seems these Little exciting games All have to do with one of the least exciting aspects of the excitement loss game of baseball predictability. I we know for certain that every single time a baseball game begins a few things Are absolutely inevitable. And so it is with the baseball radio broadcast some things Are hound to happen. Our Little game involves these inevitability is. We guess when they will occur first or better yet we bet on when they will first occur or How Many times they will occur before the game ends. The dangerous hitter game my personal favorite is the potentially dangerous hitter Batter in the game of baseball is a potentially dangerous Milter of course which makes this All so predictable. Still Broad casters feel obliged to remind everybody about it once or Wice per game. The object of the potentially dangerous hitter game is to guess How Long the broadcast can go on before the announcer proclaims a hitter As being potentially dangerous. The proclamation usually but not always comes As follows and fans this Guy stepping up the plate right Here has the ability to break this game wide among the variations is the statement that the Guy has the ability to get his club right Back into this Ball anything along those lines is acceptable As Long As it implies that there exists the possibility however Remote that the Man at Bat could hit the Ball Over the Fence. Give yourself one Point if you can correctly predict the exact inning the proclamation will take place or 10 Points for guessing precisely How Many times it will be made. In either Case Addone Point whenever the words with one swing of the Bat Are added to the proclamation. Better than himself game another game is called the Batter who is better than himself game. In this one with the same rules As in the potentially dangerous hitter game your guesses involve batters who Are really better hitters than they Are. Maybe i should explain. You will notice that the broadcaster every so often will Intro Duce a hitter As being much better than his batting average in from All i can gather about what the batting averages supposed to indicate this seems to me tantamount to saying that a fellow is much wealthier than his Money indicates. But baseball has its rarities. So when Gary Glove Man approaches he plate and the Broad Caster says he s hitting at .131 but he s really a much better hitter than that you score it As you would in the potentially dangerous hitter game. Discerning students will notice the obvious variations to this game. There Are for example quite a few pitchers who pitch better than they do. And you occasionally come across a Hitler who is both better than himself and potentially dangerous at the same time. The in completed game game then there s the incomplete game game. Here the Broad Caster or telecaster will declare usually along about the seventh a e 8lth inning that the game has not yet been completed. Thiss sometimes taken As an insult to the baseball fans intelligence out it does happen. Ine trailing team gets a runner or two on base Sec and the broadcaster tells his listeners that this game is not Over Leasly theve s the nobody s bugging game. At any time he and at 11 a.m., with he last of the open division on the tee and with four senior division groups not yet started play was stopped. The first group had gotten Only As far As the eighth Green and most of the participants appeared Happy with the decision to wait another Day. A maximum of five open players three seniors and two women May be sent by Safe to the aug. 18-22 worldwide tournament at Lackland fab Tex. Scores As Well As place of finish in the Safe tournament willbe considered however so there will not necessarily be 10 players sent to Lackland.
