Rome, Saturday Jan. 5.-ln
thanking the Roman aristocracy today
for their Christmas and New Year s
greetings, Pope Benedict expressed
his appreciation that the nobility had
endorsed "our words with which WI,
recently invited the peoples Of the
earth to return to God with the vnew
of Fastening the end of the fightful
misfortune which has afflicted the
world for more than three years"
We must return to Christ, his Holi-
ness added lin order once more to
enjoy, the benefits of civilization
The pontiff said the road whereby
to return to Christ was that of justice
and love. He expressed satisfaction
that the nobility had joined with the
Holy See in condemning rne recent
air raids which were against the
rights of man. The pope raised his
voice against the form of warfare
which is used against undefended cit
les without bringing military results
and which causes victims among non
com batants besides damaging church
es and art treasures, thus increasing
national hatreds.

Outfielders are in great demand

So says letter from Tom O'Hara,

American soldiers have made the same
remark. The outfielder is peculiarly
fitted for the duties of soldiers IN the

Ing over the top" Best of all. the

that he had an alibi In the state
ments of some of the players them
selves. But that one play viii be re-
membered as long as Fred Merkle's

When the Giants started their exhi-

Evidently zim expected 1t, and,
strange to say, he failed to show any
of the fussy stuff for which he has
long been noted. He merely ham,
mered the plate with his bIudgeon and
proceeded to slam out a home run.
When the National league season
opened Zim expected verbal bonn
bardment. And he got it. What's
more, he will probably be target for
lots of kidding during the present sea-
son until the novelty wears off. But
Zim may play better ball for all of 1t.
