EXPERTS PICK REDLEGS to win the National League flag. Ninety sports writers participated in a poll and the results were that the Reds from Cincinnati had 640 points to their closest rivals, New York Giants, with 584.

Consequently, the team drops out of the series if Gonzalez must be kept as um- pire. THE LOCAL BASEBALL CIR- CUIT is composed of four teams and all of them must have some say as to who should be the um- pires and other officials. Mana- gers of the Pirates, Seafood Grill ,and Blue Sox voted in favor of ‘retaining Gonzalez as the league’s chief ump, while the Conchs went against, claiming that “Cojo” stole Sunday’s game from {them with his bad decisions.

THE WHOLE THING in a nut- shell is that three individuals of Hamlin’s crew have decided not to play ball with Gonzalez and so it was agreed by the team.
