All That Glitters Not Gold, All You Hear
On Radio Isn't McCoy Either, Says Truitt
By LEROY INMAN
News-Review Staff Writer
All's not gold that glitters, and
all's not the real McCoy we hear
on radio, and, according to Ra
leigh Truitt, veteran baseball an
nouncer over Radio Station KEX,
Portland, it probably wouldn't be
too interesting if it were.
Truitt, on a speaking tour of
southern Oregon in company with
representatives of his sponsoring
brewing company, spoke to the
Roseburg Lions . Club Thursday
night at their dinner meeting in
the Umpqua Hotel. He gave a run
down on the Portland Beaver's
prospects for this season and dis
cussed' his own trade, that of an
nouncing sporting events.
Truitt, native of Oakland, Ore.,
described the process of recreating
a baseball game for broadcast in
the studio from teletype informa
tion relayed when the Portland
team is playing away from home.
Baseball, essentially, is a slow
game from an action standpoint, he
said, describing all the antics pitch
ers, catchers and- batters go
through leading up to a pitch. So,
he stated, it is necessary for the
announcer to fill in and keep the
radio listener interested during this
lull. Broadcasting directly from the
ball park is no trick, but recreat
ing baseball games in the studio re
quires a bag of tricks. He enumer
ated a few.
For example, snapping a match
box sounds like the ball hitting the
bat. Slapping one's thigh with a
cupped hand sounds like the ball
Spring Chinook Salmon Late
Spring Chinook salmon are late I station by mid-March. No chinooks
mis season, accornmg 10 me iwice
monthly report from the Oregon
Game Commission's Southwest Re
gional Office in Roseburg.
For six consecutive years previ
ously, spring chinook salmon had
been counted at the Winchester
hitting the catcher's glove. Sound
effects on film provide reaction of
the crowd to a single, a double,
triple or home run, he stated.
Teletype information is very
brief, such as the coded B1HO
(ball one, high outside), SIC
(strike one, called by umpire) or
the bare sentence, "Littrell (one
of the Beavers top hitlers) lines a
single to left field."
From this brief information, the
announcer must give a running ac
count of what is taking place, add
ing enough color to keep the broad
cast interesting but factual, he
said.
The Beavers chances for the pen
nant are good, believes Truitt. He
listed available material. An ar
rangement with Kansas City to se
cure the best players should keep
the roster in top shape. He added,
however, that there will be plenty
of strength in the other Coast
League ball clubs, and that last
year's pennant winner, Phoenix, is
plenty strong this year.

Sports In Brief
Ron Delany Wins,
Pressed By Rival
CLEVELAND (AP) Ron De
lany won his 33rd straight indoor
mile race, but had a close call
Friday night when Hungary's 1st
van Rozsavolgyi pounded up to
the finish line only a step or so
behind.
The time of 4:06.6 disappointed I
the 9.330 fans at the Knights of
Columbus track meet who hadi
turned out in hopes of seeing De-
lany's world record time of 4:01.4 j
lowered.
But when the early pace was
too slow, neither Rozy nor the
Irishman from Villanova wanted
to perk it up. Rozy led by a yard
with two laps to go. They were
abreast starting the gun lap. Then
Delany opened up and grabbed a
10-yard lead.
But Rozy wasn't quitting and
came back at Ron with a desper
ate hurst of speed that just
missed. Delany ran the last quar
ter in 59.4 seconds.

Turn Trick
For Orioles
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Baltimore's baseball brass today
smiled over their wisdom in latch
ing onto a pair of pitching hand-me-downs.
The castoffs Hoyt Wilhelm and
Ernie Johnson have indicated
by their clever hurling that at age
36 and 35, respectively, they still
can be effective.
Wilhelm and Johnson both have
been vital cogs for pennant-winning
clubs in the past, Hoyt with
the then New York Giants and
Johnson with Milwaukee's Braves.
Knucklcballcr Wilhelm and
speed-balling Johnson, who laid
their claim to fame as relief spe
cialists, combined to shut out St.
Louis 3-0 Friday for the Orioles'
fourth consecutive victory.
Two-time Braves
Meanwhile the world champion
New York Yankees and the Na
tional League champion Milwau
kee Braves engaged in a rare ex
hibition doubleheader. The Yanks
bopped the Braves 6-3 and 5-4 in
the day-night affair at Miami.
In other games, Los Angeles
edged Cincinnati 3-2; Cleveland
snipped Boston 5-4; Washington
shaded Kansas City 3-2; Detroit
beat Pittsburgh 5-3, and Chicago's
Cubs subdued San Francisco 3-1.
Wilhelm and Johnson permitted
the Cardinals only five hits and
stranded H Redbird base-runners.
The Orioles put it out of reach
off Sam Jones as they scored
twice in the first inning on a walk,
singles by Chico Carrasquel and
Gus Triandos and a throwing er
ror. Bill Skrowon hit a three - run
homer off Bob Buhl for the Yan
kees' first game victory. The night
cap was decided on an unearned
ninth inning tally.
Fly To Havana
The Dodgers and Reds flew
from rain-soaked Florida to Ha
vana to get in their game. Duke
Snider doubled home what proved
to be the deciding run in the third
off former Los Angeles pitcher Don
Newcombe.
The Indians continued their mas
tery over the Boston club, now
10-2 in the standings. They scored
two in the ninth to remain the
only team that has beaten the
Red Sox.
Roy Sievers and Bob Lemon
drove in all of Washington's runs
as Russ Kemmcrer limited the A's
to two hits in his five inning stint.
Frank Lary, Paul Foytack and
Jim Bunning combined to five hit
Pittsburgh as the Tigers benefited
from three Pirates miscues.
Right - hander Bob Anderson
went the distance for the Cubs
and held the Giants to four hits.
Home runs by Chick King and
Tony Taylor paced the Chicago at
tack.

'God' Theater
Role Problem
To Perform
NEW YORK (AP) - To attempt
to portray God as a human being
in the theater is difficult and con
troversial. An intellectualized characteriza
tion of God currently is protrayed
on Broadway in Archibald Mac
Lcish's "J. B." Quite a different
concept of God will he seen on
television next Monday when "Hall
mark Hall of Fame" offers a re
peat performance of Mare Con
nelly's "The Green Pastures" on
NBC-TV.
William Warfield, who portrays
De Lawd in the production, said
the other day "This is not an
adult, intellectual portrait of God.
It represents what a little girl in
a small Sunday School in the South
some time ago conceives to
God."
Warfield, the noted baritone,
played the same role in the 1958
"Hall of Fame" production of "The
Green Pastures." Everyone in last
year's all-Negro cast will appear
again, except some of the Sunday
School children who as War
field puts it, "just grew too big
in one year."
Turns Down Othello
To appear on the TV program
Warfield turned down an opportun
ity to play the lead in "Othello"
at the Shakespeare Theater, Strat-ford-on-Avon,
England.
"But there's always a chance of
playing Othello" again," he said,
"and there's not always the chance
to play 'The Green Pastures.' It's
a sonderful play. Those who have
qualms ahout it just don't under
stand it."
He recalled that before last
year's presentation the Negro press
"took pot shots at the idea of do
ing 'The Green Pastures." But aft
er it received such universal criti
cal and popular acclaim, nothing
more was said. The cirticism just
died away."
I asked him if he believed tele
vision would have produced the
play if it had been written as an
original.
"I don't know," Warfield replied.
"That's a pretty generalized ques
tion and it's always .hard to say
what might happen to something
under other circumstances. But I
imagine that television might have
been worried about the reaction of
the Negro intelligentsia. There
might have been fears that it pre
sented the Negro as ignorant.
"But to me it doens't do that at
all. It's child-like, but that's its
charm. It's imaginative and beautiful."
