DYKES DEPENDS
ON ROOKIE AS
Chief CATCHER
BY EARL HILLIGAN

CHICAGO, June IA strapping,
22-year-old rookie is handling the
regular catching job for the Chicago
White Sox these days-handling it
with SO much logged enthusiasm
that he's rated fine chance of
holding the post throughout 1885,
His name is Kenneth Silvestri.
He's Chicago product, h win g
learned his baseball at Carl Schurz
High School and on the sandlots.
Silvestri won the No. catching
job after a hard battle. Three other
backstops were in the race = the
veteran George Rensa and Rockies
Norman Schlueter and Mike fresh.
And it was Silvestri's gameness, ac-
cording to Manager Jimmy Dykes,
that gave him the nod as the sea-
son opened
Corrects Throw Back
He stands feet tall and weighs
100 pounds. but is surprisingly fast.
He'll go after any kind of a foul
Although he's far from being an
other Ray Schalk in catching arts
try, he usually manages to be where
the ball comes down-and hang onto
it. One of his weaknesses, oddly
enough, concerns his throw back to
pitchers. He had habit of simply
i i.
firing it with speed in an effort to
correct his original slow-toss habit.
The blond youngster always has
been a catcher While he worked
out with the Carl Schurz squad he
never played in league contest,

stated that the proposed new two

Laundry Building
Zonine Boord Heeds
Protests Of Neearby
Property Owners

An application by the House of the
Good Shepherd for enlargement of
its laundry building at the corner
of Thirty-sixth and r streets NV
debated at a recent public hearing,
was denied late yesterday by the
Board of Zoning Adjustment.
A long list of owners of nearby
residential property objected to the
petition at the hearing principally
on the ground that expansion of the
laundry would adversely affect their
properties.
Nom Conforming Structure.
In a written decision, the board
held that since the existing laundry
building was non-conforming as to
the zoning classification of the prop
erty, the board was without author
ity to grant the petition except un-
der certain conditions. These were,
the board said, showing that de-
nial of the plea would cause ex-
traordinary difficulties to the prop
erty owner and work to his undue
hardship and that granting of the
petition would not work to the sub
stantial detriment of the public or
impair the intent, purpose and in

can do anything, and the little man
who cried has gone back to the
village.
The German viewpoint, as I
gather it from reading Der Sturmer
is that Jews are a cunning people
who lie about Germany to play on
the maudlin sympathies of the weak
minded liberal democracies. The
Germans themselves are a strong
people who never cry, except about
the unbearable humiliation inflicted
on them by the Versailles treaty.
AS weak-minded democratic
liberal I used to cry about these
humiliations myself, but now since
I am getting the viewpoint of new
Germany I also am getting strong,
so I do not cry about them any
more.

but his relatives came from a little
village in what was once Czecho-
Slovakia and then for while was
Poland and is now German.
Ordered to Labor Camp.
About a month after the German
Army and Swastika Deaths Head
Police came into it one morning it
was announced that all the Jewish
of the village between IA and 70
would in six days be sent to a labor
camp. But that same evening they
came again and told them they must
be ready to go within six hours and
must bring their tools.
So. not knowing quite why, the
doctors took their instrument cases
and the workers their spades or
their saws or their picks. What has
become of them is known in the
village only through several post
cards passed along from town to
town, and always by hand, for the
men explained they were not al
lowed to use the mails.
But they were not taken to a labor
camp. They were put into railway
freight cars and for many days
were shunted about the country, for
the war has disorganized the rail-
roads of Poland. Sometimes when
the train stopped near a farm village
the German guards let them buy
food from the farmers. Then when
there was no more money, the farm
erS would sometimes give them food
for the farmers were Polish, not
German.
The Jewish men were careful to
write on the cards that the German
guards were very kind to them, and
that they were all well and warm
and happy. The little man who
showed me the cards and explained
this did not cry at that point. The
cards said that for six of the many
days they were kept locked in the
freight cars. but the German guards
passed in to them warm water, with
a little tea in it.
Shifted to Open Cars.
Then, no one yet knows why, they
were taken out of the freight cars
and put into another train which
had only open cars, such as are used
for hauling coal, but it did not rain
much. the men wrote, and some of
the days were warm, and the good
German guards were always kind
to them. Then one day the train
stopped and half the men were told
to get out of the cars and to walk
east for about 10 kilometers. when
they would come to a river, and
over the river was that part of
Poland which now belongs to Russia,

BERLIN By Air MaiD This is
the story of the little man who cried.
He was only an inch or so under
average height, with very blue eyes,
regular feature and fair hair. If
he had not told me he was a Jew I
could never have known it, but a
German would have known it when
the little man cried, because Ger
mans are brave disciplined peo-
pie and only Jews cry.
I met the little man going from
counter to counter at the American
Embassy. He spoke almost no Eng
lish and he carried the passport of
a Balkan country, and there was
no reason why he should come to
our Embassy except that little peo-
pie who have heard that America
is big and powerful and generous
and kindly somehow do go there to
tell their little stories and plead for
little help when the rest of the
world is too cynical or calloused or
realistic to listen.
And this was the story of the
little man who cried as he told it
to me in the big high-cellinged ante
room of the Embassy, only at first
he did not cry, but spoke only with
Q polite and desperate earnestness
He said he himself was not Polish.

and maybe the Russians would take
them In. Then the train went on,
leaving the Jewish men standing in
an open field, looking toward where
the Germans had said the Russian
river was, but no one knows If they
got there, or If the Russians let
them across. for nothing else has
been heard of them.
The men still on the train were
taken to a village near Lublin, a
town near what is now the Russian
frontier, where the Germans are
said to be planning to set up a
Jewish reservation. Here they were
told to build barracks for themselves
and their families.
But now the Jewish women and
children who were left in the
original village have been told they
must be ready to leave in four days,
and this is why the shabby little
man who cried made the desperate
trip to Berlin where the foreign
embassies are.
He did not ask that these Jews
be allowed to come to America, for
he knows that cannot be. And he
did not ask money for them. He
was only sent to ask that the women
and children be given more time.
Because half of them are the wives
and children of that half Of the
men who were left standing in the
fields, and the good German police
themselves in the village do not
know or care where those men are.
Only a Little Time Asked.
Only if the women have a few
days more, perhaps these men
can get word to the village where
they are, SO their women and child
rem can be sent to join them, instead
of going into the barracks built
by the second group.
And here is where the shabby
little man cried, because, he said.
of course no one could help what
was about to happen to the Jews
in this part OF the world, only it
could not greatly matter to the
Germans if a Jewish man was with
his own wife and Jewish child
with its own father when it hap
pened. So he had come to Berlin to
ask just a few days more for the
women until they could know where
their men are.
He though the embassy of his
own country could help, but it is
little Balkan country. and very
much afraid of the Germans, and so
can do nothing. And, of course,
the American Embassy could do
nothing, because these people are
not American citizens. So nobody

Racing is a prominent feature
of the program here, and with a

there's a program which takes
practically all of an afternoon or
evening. Flood lights make the
