5 5 Out on a Limb Br BOB WALTERS Viewpoint Writing a new story often Is a matter of viewpoint. Usually the. writer's style fits the story and the copy slips smoothly into its own par s' ticular section of the news- 5 paper. " But let's suppose a few re j porters, each with his or her - own viewpoint, were assign' S ed to cover the same story. : We'll make it a sports story, " Ordinarily It would read something like this: i San Francisco-Sam (Tooth. ; pick) Jones gave up only one ; hit, a pinch-hit home run to : Walt Moryn in the eighth inn- I ing, to lead the San Francisco I Giants to a 6-1 win over the ' Chicago Cubs here today. Et cetera. Now, here's the same yarn as It might be reported by a society writer: San Franciico - Samuel T. Jones, a man who is verr kind io his mother, gave a superb performance In a baseball contest here this afternoon when his team, representing the ciiy of San Francisco, encountered a sporting group from Chi cago. Mr. Jones, his uniform neatly pressed and his cap perched jauntilr atop his head, did seem to have one 'lather slovenly habit, how ever. He habitually chewed on a somewhat dirty tooth- pick. It also seemed that Mr. Jones, a former reii- deni of Chicago who now resides in San Francisco, had not taken time to shave before the contest started, Next we turn to the edl ; , torial writer's version: ! San Francisco - Sam Jones j won baseball game for his team, the Giants, here today and proved once again that baseball is indeed the nation al pasttlme. Baseball is not limited to professional teams. This won derful sport is played in irade schools, high schools, ! colleges and on the streets of i New York City. Which brings t us to a vast problem facing 5 our entire society. Those children In New York need more baseball fields, so ; that they will not have to t play in the streets. Lives are ; lost each year because un J thinking motorists careen across these downtown in fields and end the careers of numerous young men who might have achieved great ness in the major leagues. Citizens, hear me out! Also on hand at the game was a church reporter! San Francisco - Baseball pitcher Samuel Jones' fine performance in a contest here today was marred br ! an incident which occurred in the eighth inning. Mr. Jones had thrown a ball to Mr.' Walter Moryn. ; When Mr. Moryn hit what ; Is called a "homer." Mr. 1 Jones uttered a profanity which shocked everrone within hearing d 1 s tance. Apparently this was the only safe hit given up by Mr, Jones during the game, but that certainly was no excuse for forgetting one's manners and Christian up bringing while performing before the American public. We hope, Mr. Jones, that you will search your soul before you ever say "Shucks" again. . Last comes a story from The Cautious Reporter, the man who is so accustomed to attributing statements to or ficial sources that he occas ionally becomes too confused to write the basic facts: San Francisco Sam Jones, reportedly a pitcher for the San Francisco Giants, surren dered only one hit, according to a highly reliable source, when the Giants won, it was announced by Manager Bill Rigney, baseball game from the Chicago team, allegedly known as the Cubs, it was announced here today. ' ' The source confirmed that '. today was indeed today, he aid, adding that tomorrow, . barring unforeseen occur encee, probably will be to morrow, He clatmed. Offlcials said, pointed out, cited the fact and stated that Jones' victory was hut second this year, they stated and add ed, end that the pitcher re portedly has not lost a game, they inserted end claimed. The score reportedly was 0-1 but. officials laid, this is not official, they added, since a certified public accountant had not as yet checked the soorebook, they noted.
