JUNE 2S. 19M Cub Scouts The Cob Scouts have a perfect view as they sit down the left field line. Jerry Martin rounds second, after sending a grands lam onto Wavelandave. Ask a ny member of Cub Scout pack No. 162 who his favorite team is, and at least 40 of the young scouts will reply, "The Chicago Cubs." Escorted by seven chaperones, including Plaindealer photographer Wayne Gay lord, they left by bus last Wednesday to enjoy the 7-0 trouncing the Cubs gave the Cincinnati Reds. though most carried sack lunches, they soon discovered peanuts, popcorn t.rd Cracker Jack were much better. Their home made sandwiches were forgotten as the Hot Dog vendors made their first round to the left field seats. Many Cub Scouts hats played second (dace as they were replaced by a new Cub cap or batting helmet. A number of the scouts received autographs from the players. During the game, they filled in their programs as they viewed pitcher Dennis Lamp recording his sixth win. A double steal by Barry Foote and Mike Tyson also brought out a cheer from them. The excitement continued as they saw Bruce Sutter capturing his 14th save. They had a perfect view of the ball as itsailed over the fence and onto Waveland avenue to give Jepy Martin a grandslam homer and put the game out of reach. Their biggest thrill, however, was tramping onto the field to have their pictures taken with Scott Thompson. Just ask them! These Scouts score Martin's homer.
