Rose’s first
hit made
in Geneva
Upstate New Yorkers
recall 'Charlie Hustle'
Associated Press
GENEVA, N.Y. — Amid Pete
Rose’s thunderous pursuit of' Ty
Cobb in the annals of professional
baseball, let it be recalled that the
chase began 25 years ago in this
sleepy and shady corner of upstate
New York.
And Rose’s first steps — nearly
4,200 big-league bits ago — were
taken with a collection of ragamuf
fins called the Geneva Reds, who fin
ished in the muck of the New York-
Pennslvania League in 1960.
“The vital votes of California are
still beyond the reach of Sen. John F.
Kennedy of Massachusetts at the
Democratic National Convention-
,’’cautioned the Geneva Times in
early July of 1960.
A week before, Pete Rose made
his professional baseball debut and
The Times was just as guarded:
“Rose is an aggressive and eager bal
lplayer at second base ... He adds life
to the infield.”
While the Everly Brothers were
scoring on the kids’ car radios with
“Cathy’s Clown,” Rose was gaped at
like a circus oddity. Get this: He ac
tually ran — no, make that sprinted
— to first base after a walk. Pretty
soon he chased a Cuban kid named
Tony Perez off second base and over
to third and eventually into the out
field.
“No, I wouldn’t have guessed he’d
have made it,” said Norm follow, the
30-year sports editor of what is now
The Finger Lakes Times. “They
called him ‘Charlie Hustle. ’ but
Charlie Hotdog was more like it
around here. He wasn’t a bad hitter,
but he couldn’t catch. You never
know. That club had three major-
leaguers — Rose, Perez and Art
Shamsky. Who would have thought
a team like that would go 54-75?”
You never know.
The fellow who led the league in
hitting that year was the immortal
Pablo Mitchell, at .348 for Erie.
Rose, who would set the big-league
record with the most 2()()-hit sea
sons, had but 15 hits in his first 64 at-
bats (.234), but finished at .277 with
89 hits in 85 games for Geneva. The
renowned Marv Chalmers w'as the
club’s lone .300 hitter.
You never know.
At the end of the ’60 season, The
Geneva Times noted where the play
ers were headed for the off-season.
“Pete Rose,” The Times reported,
“will be looking for a job as a sport
ing goods salesman.”
Pete Rose’s Geneva is pretty much
the same today. The baseball field
still stands. But now there’s a differ
ent scoreboard, a new roof over the
grandstand, the Cubs are the tenants
and the name is McDonough Park.
Bob Halaska, Rose’s teammate
and housemate that season, said
Rose had it all figured out.
“He signed a weird contract,” re
called Halaska, now a businessman
in Las Cross, Wis. “It was called a
contingency and nobody wanted to
sign them. If he made it in the ‘A’
ball, he got a certain amount. If he
made it in ‘AA’ he got a certain
amount. And if he didn’t make it, he
didn’t get anything.
“I told him, ‘Why’d you sign that?
They’ll screw you down the line
somehow.’
“And he said. ‘They can’t screw
me. I’m going to make the majors.’ I
knew he would because he had that
something about him. He didn’t
have the skills, but he just kept run
ning and running.”
Scott having ‘Giant’
year as Astro pitcher
Associated Press
HOUSTON — With a chance to
win 20 games, Houston right
hander Mike Scott is enjoying the
best season of his six-year major
league career.
“This year I came to spring train
ing worried about making the team,”
Scott said after picking up his 16th
win of the season Monday, a 4-2 de
cision over the San Francisco Giants.
Scott combined with two relievers
to hold San Francisco to seven hits.
Scott, whose 16-7 record is the
best of his career by six w ins, w'as 5-
11 last season. Scott added a forkball
in the off-season and credits it with
his success.
“I had a bad year last year but that
one pitch made all the difference,”
Scott said. “I threw good two years
ago but this is by far the most consis
tent I’ve ever been. Plus I’ve been
healthy all year and it’s been a lot
more fun.”
Scott pitched seven innings, giv
ing up two runs, before Frank Di-
Pino and Dave Smith finished. Smith
recorded his 22nd save of the sea-
Phil Garner sparked the Houston
offense with three hits w'hile driving
in one run, as Houston won its 10th
game in 12.
“In this stretch we’ve played real
well,” Garner said. “1 definitely
think this is the best we’ve played
this season.”
Losing pitcher Atlee Hammaker,
4-11 and 0-4 against Houston this
season, gave up all four runs in 4 1/3
innings.
Houston took a 1-0 lead in the
first on walks to Jim Pankovits and
Jose Gruz and an RBI single by
Glenn Davis.

a six-game losing streak Monday
night by beating the Oakland A’sl-

RBI single later in the inning.
The A’s, in losing their sixth
straight game, had only five hits in
seven innings off Texas starter Jeff
Russell, 2-5, and none off reliever

by pitching the final two innings.
Jose Canseco of the A’s hit his first
major-league home run, a 425-foot
blast into the center-field bleachers,
in the third for the game’s first run.
Canseco, a 21-year-old outfielder,
totaled 36 homers and drove in 12/
runs in 118 minor league games this
season, playing at both the Class AA
and AAA levels. He joined the As
on their recent road trip
The Rangers tied the score in the
sixth on Tolleson’s triple and an RBI
single by Slaught.
Tim Birtsas, Oakland’s starting
pitcher, allowed only three hits in 5

cause of the illness of his father-in-
law in Southern California.
UTEP trackster dies during road workouts
Associated Press
LL PASO — A University of
Texas-El Paso freshman was struck
and killed by a pickup truck during a
cross-country track team practice
session Saturday, university officials
said.
Lori Fitzgerald, an 18-year-old
high school valedictorian and track
star from Denver, was killed in
stantly at 8:15 a.m. Saturday, police
said.
The accident occurred during a
practice session of UTEP men’s and
women’s cross-country teams, uni
versity officials said.
“As Lori’s coach, and being re
sponsible for this beautiful young
person attending our university, I
am shocked and do not understand
why this had to happen,” said Gary
Mazziotd, head coach for the teams.
“I hope and pray that Lori’s parents
and friends have the strength to en
dure this loss.”
Fitzgerald was attending UTEP
on an academic scholarship, univer
sity officials said. She was valedicto
rian of her graduating class at Smo-
key Hills High School in Denver this
year, they said.
She was also an outstanding high
school athlete who placed second in
Colorado state cross-country compe
tition during her senior year.
Police reports said Fitzgerald was
running east, against the flow of tra
ffic, when she swerved into the road
way and was hit by a westbound
pickup truck.
Sgt. A1 Barunda said no charges
were filed against the driver, a 17
year-old El Paso man.
“We at the university are shocked
and terribly distressed,” said
Cords, UTEP athletic director. “Our
hearts and our prayers go out for
Lori and to her family and friends."
