The Catholic Church
And The Negro

of Gregory XVI, In Supreme Apo
stolatus Fastigio, denouncing the
African slavery in America, and
the Encyclical, Sertum Laetitiae,
of Plus XII, commencing the work
of the hierarchy in America in
behalf of the Negro. there passed
almost hundred years. Pope Gre
gory's announcement was dated
December 5, 1889; that of Plus on
the Feast of all Saints, November
1, 1899.
The denunciation of slavery by
the head of the great Catholic
Church gave hope to the Adolf
tionists, caused consideration and
remorse among the slaveholding
Catholics of Louisiana and Mary
land, and was used freely by anti
slavery propagandists in their agi-
tation for the abolition Of this
traffic In human beings. It is not
too much to expect that the words
of His Holiness Pope Plus XII will
accomplish as much for the Negro
as free man as those of Gregory
accomplished for the Negro as a
slave.
AS much as any religious body
today, and perhaps more so, the
Catholic Church is able to influ-
ence the thoughts and acts of its
adherents. And the position of the
church in the matter of the Negro
has not been unequivocally stated.
1t Is true that the words of His
Holiness were gentle words, but
their meaning is plain. 1--WE feel"
he wrote, "a special paternal af-
lection, which is certainly inspired
of heaven, for the Negro people
dwelling among you, for in the
field of religion and education we
know that they need special care
and comfort and are deserving Of
it."
The blessing of the Pope on the
work of those inspired members
of the church who have been
working to eliminate racial dis
elimination in Catholic colleges
and universities, and to widen the
doors of employment opportunity
for Negro youth, should bring in
creased cooperation and support
from their co-religionists. And Ne
groes of every faith welcome the
interest and sympathy expressed
by Pope Plus XII, and have high
hopes Of future accomplishments
by the Catholic Church in the field
of race relations.
Certainly the church does not
! endorse discrimination on the bas-
is of race, much less oppression
of racial groups. In most cases
racial discrimination is part of the
insignia phich oppression always
wears. The challenge which S.
900, 900 American Negroes with no
religious affiliation presents to the
historic missionary tradition Of
the Catholic Church has unques-
tionably stimulated the efforts Of
the church, which are visible
throughout America, to bring the
Negro under its protecting arm.
There is no more effective way
to attain that objective than by
sincere and courageous effort
to eliminate the fears which have
Slapped and are undermining the
faith of the Negro youth in the
Christian church as it Is consti-
tuted in America. These forces,
which tend to make him a pariah,
are strong and powerful. But they
can be vanquished if the church
lives up to its sacred and historic
mission.

ODDS AND ENDS

Two boy students at New Lon
don, Conn, saw their grade cards
before they were mailed to their
parents, and found their marks dis
tressingly low. They worried over
the parental disapproval which
was in store for them and decided
that the reports should not be
mailed. To prevent this they
burned the school building.
About 25 years ago Mrs. Patrick
Campbell the famous English
actress, was ordered to desist from
smoking in the tea room of the
Hotel Plaza in New York. And
in those days girls were put on the
brazen list if they lifted skirt
above the shoe tops while crossing
a muddy street.

DizyDean Sent
To Tulsa TO Try
Sidearm Delivery

CHICAGO, June 4-tUP)-Waived
out of the major leagues, Jay Han
ma Dizzy Dean. most colorful
pitcher of modern baseball. agreed
today to return to the Texas league
for noble experiment with
Sidearm delivery.
Dizzy goes at his own request.
With steady work on the Chicago
Cubs farm club at Tulsa Okla,
the eccentric righthander believes
he can overcome the injury that
robbed his famous fireball of its
speed and return to the majors
as an effective sidearmer.
Date of his transfer still is un-
determined, but it probably will be
soon.
Owner Phil K. Wrigley of the
Cubs said, ITS up to Dizzy when
he wants to go. 1t was his idea"
Dean, nursing head injury re-
ceived in a fall from an automo-
bile driven by Glen (Rip) Russell,
Cubs first baseman, let Mrs. Dean
answer that one:
We'll find out one way or the
other down there Either Diz can
pitch or he can't. We can't go on
disappointing everyone-Mr. Wrig-
ley. Gabby Hartnett and the crowds.
AS soon as he has talk with Mr..
Wrigley. we'll know when he re-
ports to Tulsa"

NEW YORK, June 4 - (UP) -
Time, tide and good looking blondes
are not the only things which wait
for no man.
Baseball is another, which you
can find out for yourself by TAX
ing a stop-watch with you to
major league game.
Your appreciation of the speed.
Skill and precision of the players
will be increased three fold when
you realize how little time it takes
them to execute the most compli-
Gated maneuverS on the field.
How much time do you think
elapses from the moment a pitcher
releases the ball, the batter hits
it, the shortstop fields it and throws
to second the second baseman
pivots and the ball lands in the
first baseman'S glove for a double
play?
l timed a double-play in one of
Sundays games between the Yam
KEGS and the Browns, and it took
only and 2-5 seconds. Russo was
the pitcher, Laabs the hitter, and
the play was Crosetti TO Gordon
to Dahlgren.
What's your guess on the time
required for DiMaggio home?

er unlooses what he hopes will be
a strike but which turns into
home run, until the ball lands in
the faraway left field bleachers.
asked this question of several fans
and they were all way off. some
as many as thirty seconds.
The DiMaggio home run on Sun
day took just 5 seconds, or one
second less than it did TO catch
one of Joe's pop flies earlier in
the game.
Thanks to me and my stop watch,
Won can now add this vital statistic
fo your sum of knowledge: An
umpire requires an average of 3
and 2-5ths seconds TO Whiskbroom
home plate unless, of course, the
umpire happens to be the American
leagues John Quinn. The second

time l clocked him Quinn had the
plate as clean as the tooth of the
Valnest hound in l and 2-5th Sec
onds. This superb effort seemed to
tire him, however, and he never
approached that time again.
The next time conversation be-
comes dull around the dinner table
you might throw Informative little
gems at your companions: 1t takes
the average player and 3-5th sec
onds to reach first base after he
has been walked by the pitcher.
This does not apply to Bill Dickey,
who requires eight seconds.
II this doesn't awaken the flag
glng interest of your dinner part
ners come right back with this
exclusive nugget: If you have the
power to hit ball to the 4O7 foot
sign in right centerfield at Yankee
stadium, and the speed to run to
third is eleven seconds. you'll have
a triple. Knickerbocker of the
Yanks and Cliff of the Browns hit
triples like this and it took them
just eleven seconds to arrive safely
at third. q trust it's obvious that
II you feel sure you can hit the
triple and run to third in the
prescribed time you're a sucker to
stay at the dinner table. You
can get right up and get into a
uniform because there are sixteen
major league teams than can use
you.)
Now that you're in uniform, and
playing in the majors, don't make
the mistake of trying to steal second
unless you can Jesse Owens it for
fair. Joe FLASH Gordon tried
1t against the Browns and was
thrown out by yards from the in

thrown to second Tor the putout,
which took only and 4-5th sec

Billy Conn Made
Slight Favorite
0yerLesneyich

HEIROfT, June 4 (UP)-
Billy Conn was a slight favorite
in betting today to retain his
lignt-heavyweight title tomorrow
night against Gus Lesnevich, a
New Jersey jOlter who has paid
a price for a chance for revenge.
The odds were is with Conn,
the curly haired pride of Pitts
burgh whose boxing technique Is
flawless but whose punch usual
ly is winked at by the boys in
the front row. He took a Is
round decision from LeSnevich at
New York last November by max
ing strong come back in the
later rounds.
Lesnevich, of White Russian
ancestry, is known a5 a hun
gry' type of fighter. Conn is
tall and rangy but Lesnevich,
three inches shorter, has mas
sive shoulders and is a powerful
hitter He has waited many
months, passing up other fights
and needed cash, until Conn re-
covered from recurring attacks
of bOils and was ready for the
ring. The bout has been post
poned twice on COnn's account
