Notes On the Owls

Before giving you my weekly
comments on the Owls, let'me pass
along TO you real human inter
est story. A story, by the way, that
should make us all stop and think
before we start criticising ball play
ers today.
Last week told you that Banello,
a young rookie inhelders being tried
out by Herb Brett, played third base
in both games of double header
up in Trenton, week ago Sunday.
l also mentioned that he failed to
get a hit in either game and that
Gambeliucca took over the hot cor
ner again on Monday. Now for the
story
On Monday morning Banello
walked up to Herb and said: "Mr.
Brett, l didn't want to tell you this,
but I've got to. You see / was
wounded couple of times in the
Solomon Islands and after being
discharged from the hospital, l was
given a medical discharge After
working out for awhile thought l
could play ball again, but | find l
can't make it and / feel / should tell
you. After playing in those two
games yesterday, I was so nervous
that l didn't sleep wink all night
and know now that I'm not in any
shape to play ball"
That is the story, fans, and re-
member that there are lots of dis
charged service men in baseball to-
day who may be fighting the same
trouble that Banello had, but who
are sticking in there, trying to over
come it and stay in the game they
love.
Now for a word or two about our
Owls.
Still playing with a first baseman
at short and a left fielder at third
and with apparently no help in
sight, the team is striving desper-
ately to stay in the first division. In
their honestly over the week end
they were only able to break even
with the last place Trenton Pack
ers in their four-game series and
they have certainly got to do
better than that at home, if they
want to get into the playoffs.

only a few short weeks ago were

BEHIND HOME PLATE
BY DOUG STEWART

With the st. Louis Cards so far
out in front that il would take a
B-29 to catch them, interest in the
National League is now conferred
around the splurge of Charlie
Grimm's Chicago Cubs, who as this
is written (Tuesday) are exactly
one percentage point out Of the first
division.
A month or so ago they were wal
lowing deep in the cellar and il
didn't look as If they had a dogs
chance of getting out But sudden
ly Charlie got his team clicking and
once they began TO get little taste
of victory, there was no stopping
them Before long they were in
seventh place, then sixth, then fifth,
and, extending their winning streak
to eleven games, they landed PUNK
in the first division.
They stayed in fourth place for
several days before dropping back
to fifth, just lone percentage point
behind the Giants, and now soprts
writer's in the big time are giving
them a better than even chance TO
finish the season is no worse a spot
than fourth.

leading the league? Well, in my
opinion, the answer is very simple.
First, the other teams have been
strengthened with players sent
them by the clubs with which they
have working agreements, while the
Owls, sadly weak in the iniield and
not helped anyby Lilies ankle injury,
are getting no help at all. Buffalo
hasn't been worth a nickel to the
club and the only help Owner Ster-
ling and Manager Brett have been
able TO get are players that Herb
Brett has dug up himself, through
his past connections.
There has been a lot of talk float
ing around that the club won't put
out money for players, but | happen
to know differently. You can take
my word for it land I'm not in the
habit of putting out lot of baloney,
just TO please club owners) that 1t
isn't a question of salaries that is
stopping the club management from
getting help, it's just a plain case of
Buffalo refusing to send help and
none being available elsewhere.
The other reason for the tail spin
of the Owls, is their inability to get
hits, when hits mean runs.
In this last series with Trenton, in
the two games they lost, they left a
total of ~ men stranded on the base
paths. Fourteen in Fridays game
and 10 in the first game on Sunday.
In Fridays game they had the
bases full in the first, third and sew
enth innings, without being able to
push a single run across the plate.
With still a little more than a
month to go (the season closes on
September 12l, the Owls still have
time to get back into the running
and while they can hardly cop the
pennant, they can climb back INTO
second or third place, even without
any changes in their present lineup
All they need is hit or two, when
hits mean runs, and here's hoping
that they get them.

discrimination because of race,
color, creed or national origin.
said:
This executive order does not
deal with the social and living

USING DEMOCRACY
BY RUTH TAYIOR

1--WE must use our democracy
or we must lose our democracy.
I copied that line from a speech
by DR.. James e. Sheppard. presi-
dent of the North Carolina Col
lege for Negroes.
copied 1t not because 1t was
written in a speech on or for
Negroes-but because to my way
OF thinking il expressed the ba-
sic principle back OF all talk on
the democratic way OF life. The
class, creed or color of an Ameri-
can is unimportant. It is how
he or she expresses in work, and
action the principles of equality
that is America.
I'VE must use our democracy
or we must lose our democracy. {"
1t is for that way of life we are
fighting today-not for a party
nor for persons-but for the one
way that affords a chance for the
improvement of everyo s
chance and for everyone's right
to live. Democracy is not a way
of privilege for any one group,
be 1t majority or minority. De
mocracy is a way of opportunity
for all people.
Democracy is way, however,
and not the destination. One
cannot overturn ancient preju-
dices in day nor confer great
powers upon individuals OF
groups of individuals until they
demonstrate their ability and
willingness to exercise 1t for the
general good. Great social wrongs
exist; they must be righted bd
without any tinge of vengeance
In short, the pendulum must mo-
swing too rapidly lest it swing
too far.
The easiest thing in the world
is to be a critic and it is easy
to criticize the progress already
made, and the rate at which il
has gone. We are all impatient
Time does not move fast enough
Our minds outstrip events. Blu
we cannot overlook the one basic
fundamental that the American
way of democracy, slowly but
surely, has brought fairer deal
ings and a better opportunity
than any other way of life.
To be sure, there are some
people who cherish intolerance
above the needs of their coun-
try. Fortunately. however, de-
spite the fact that they are very
vocal, they are a relatively small
minority. Probably they cannot
be won over, but the great ma
jority of our people honestly be-
