Tigers defeat Twins to open KBO postseason series

GWANGJU — Slugger Kim Do-yeong homered twice and drove in four runs, while starter James Naile tossed seven innings of one-run ball, as the Kia Tigers rallied past the LG Twins 5-1 to begin their South Korean baseball postseason series at home Saturday. Kim smacked a solo home run in the bottom of the fourth inning to break a 1-1 tie and then drove in an insurance run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field in Gwangju, some 270 kilometers south of Seoul.

Kim then put an exclamation mark with a two-run home run in the eighth inning. Naile held the Twins to a run on four hits over seven effective innings in front of a sellout crowd of 18,000. Game 2 is 2 p.m. Sunday at the same Gwangju stadium.

In the past 10 editions of the best-of-five first round, teams that claimed the first game went on to win the series nine times.

The Guardian view on Winnie-the-Pooh: now we are 100

Editorial | He may have been eclipsed by the more progressive Paddington of late, but AA Milne’s creation is not just a Silly Old Bear“Pooh, promise you won’t forget about me, ever. Not even when I’m a hundred,” Christopher Robin implores his bear in the final chapter of AA Milne’s The House at Pooh Corner.

This week Winnie-the-Pooh himself turned 100, and he certainly hasn’t been forgotten. Birthday celebrations have included a week of special programmes, introduced by the queen, on Radio 4; a collection of Royal Mail stamps; and a Google doodle.Not bad for “a bear of very little brain” who appeared in four slim books.

Winnie-the-Pooh, illustrated by EH Shepard, was published on 14 October 1926 and had sold 150,000 copies in the US by the end of the year. Continue reading...

Seoul Silver Grass Festival marks 25th year at former landfill park

The 25th Seoul Silver Grass Festival will open this Saturday at Haneul Park in western Seoul and run through Oct. 23 under the theme “Silver Grass, Comfort From Nature.” Haneul Park, part of World Cup Park in Mapo District, sits on Nanjido, a former island that served as Seoul’s landfill until 1993. After ecological restoration, the site reopened as World Cup Park in 2002, the same year the festival was launched.

The park’s hilltop is covered in silver grass, which turns silvery white each autumn. The festival will run daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. across about 192,000 square meters. Its centerpiece is a series of four gardens designed to engage the senses. Visitors can leave wishes and messages in one, read books at a camping-style rest area in another and relax among red summer cypress and silver grass in a third.

At night, a fourth garden will light up an existing silver grass horse sculpture as a photo zone. Lighting shows combining light and music will run every 30 minutes from 7 to 8:30 p.m. An opening ceremony is set for 6 p.m. Saturday. Busking performances spanning ballad,
