SAYS
PAFK0 VERY GOOD

NEW YORK, May 25-RAAndy
Pafko is the best looking young
ball player Billy Southworth has
seen in the National League this
year and that's a pretty fair rec
ommendation coming from the
skipper of the 1942-43 pennant
winners.
After looking over new talent
that dots every senior circuit ros-
ter, the St. Louis Cardinal manag-
er today rated the Chicago Rookie
outfielder, who led the Pacific
Coast league hitters while with Los
Angeles in 1943, as the best of the
crop. Pafko was hitting .306
through games of May "a.
Southworth is also high on his
own second baseman, Emil YER
ban, who is making good as re-
placement for Lou Klein, lost to
the service.
You watch Verban out there
and you'll see some fancy field
ing said the Card pilot. He may
not have as much power as Klein
but he is a better fielder
Stouorth's pres ent starting
pitcher alignment is Max Lanier,
Mort Cooper, AL Jirisich, Ted
Wilke, strong armed fellow, has
been promoted from the relief
ranks and Harry Gumbert and
Harry Brecheen have been rele-
gated to bull pen duty.
That kid Jurisich has plenty on
the ball'' S GU t h wor t h raved
"A strep throat knocked him down
right after he shutout Cincinnati
and he hasn't got all his strength
back yet but he's ready to go.''
Max Lanier's six straight VIC
tories can be credited to more
poise, according to Billy the KID
who plans to pitch him every fifth
day regardless of turn.
-Four days rest are just what
he needs the skipper ruled. Il
tried him with less and with more
but it didn't work. You'll see him
cut here every fifth day, hot or
cold"
The hit and run has replaced
the devil may care" base rum
ming of the 1912 world champions
because the Red Birds lack the
binding speed and instructive lead
ership of men like Terry Moore
and Enos Slaughter. They didn't
have it last year, a fact that amaz-
ed many in the World Series
They're not Slow but they can't
scoot like that ~ outfit.
OF course there's still Pepper
Martin and Southworth is authority
for the statement that the "Old
Wild Hoss' hasn't lost step of
his speed since the early 1906.
Pep doesn't like to play those
night games, says he can't see the
ball." the skipper explained. II
am not going to use him under
the lights unless we have a real
emergency. He hae been playing
against lefthanded pitching and do
ing fine. Well be using him more
as we 60 along and begin to lose
fellows like Stan Musial and Dan
nv Litwhiler."

HEARN'S VICTORY
WAS MASTERPIECE

CAMP DAVIS, May 25.-Even if
the Antiaircraft soldiers stationed
here were unable to see Jim Hearn
pitch his no-hitter against powerful
Fl. Bragg wednesday in Raleigh
they're still talking about it, es-
pecially during minute
"breaks.
To think of a Blue Brigade team
(winner of out Of Z games) get
ting 40 decision over Fl. Bragg
(winner of 10 out of 1 games) was
more than the most optimistic AA
soldier had bargained. And it was
only natural that they ask the who,
why and what about the 6 It. 3 in.
20O-pounder who so brilliantly sub
dued talented Bragg nine.
Hearn is in his early twenties.
A product of Atlanta, Ca,
"Shanty was ticketed for Georgia
Tech as far back as his high school
days. For the Ramblin Wrecks he
covered third base and batted
rousing $3.50 or thereabout. 1t didn't
take long for St. Louis Cardinal
scout to pick up his trail and after
summer trip to the Redbird
haunts, Jim was signed before
other clubs could make any offers.
A bullet throw developed from
heaving 'em third to first paved
the way for Hearn's conversion to
pitcher. With the Columbus. Ga.
farm club he turned to the box
and met with fair success con-
sidering it being a new project.
Then the draft board beckoned and
after basic training period Hearn
gained an Officer Candidates bid
to Camp Davis from which school
he emerged a second lieutenant.
his current rating.
Hearn was sought out for COM
ment today regarding that no-hit-
ter. Self-effacing as usual the like
able lieutenant, between admins
trative letups, claimed no thought
of no-hitter entered his mind
until the sixth inning. From that
point with each delivery he said
to himself, There goes the first
hit" But when second baseman
Lacorte kept the record intact with
a sparkling backhand stab of a
looping fly in the eighth Hearn
was given added stimulus down
the homestretch. The ninth inning.
says Hearn, was longer than even
an OCS course.
Calientcs easy catch of the
game-ending fly was cause for a
team gathering around the pitch
ers box. Hearns ample frame
took slap-happy battering but he
stood up well.
Asked to describe his feeling the
day after the ballgame all Hearn
could say was. Boy, oh boy! That
chop suey dinner in Raleigh. I
waited for that since last Septem-
Der. Did I have seconds? Are
you kidding, soldier?
And then Hearn resumed the
business of soldering. For even
no-hit pitcher is not excused when
ii comes to furtherance of the war
effort.

are returning place to normally
by easy stages. A couple of heavy

play as the first step in working

strongs and Willie Pops.
Joe Baksi and Lee Savold, the
heavyweights, meet in scheduled
12-round bout tomorrow night in
what should be a rousing fight, al
though there is nothing in partic-
ular at stake. Savold already has
been where he's going, and Baksi
still is too far away from where
he is going to be sure of the d.
rection.
They met a couple of months
ago, with Savold getting a decision.
Since then Baksi has been prepar-
ing seriously for the return match.
judging from the three week
growth of beard adjoining his rug
ged pan when he appeared for a
physical checkup a couple of days
ago, it seemed he planned to win
this one by whisker.
HOOK LIKE A SCYTHE
He has a lot of the folks thinking
he'll take the cagey blond this
time, although We wouldn't be too
sure. Baksi is big, tough gent
with a left hook like scythe. May
be not as sharp, as it is more on
the ponderous order of a totem
pole, but it is liable to cut anyone
down if it connects.
He thrives on rough going, and
this would seem to be his chief
asset tomorrow night, as Savold
has shown an inclination to be-
come discouraged easily. From the
standpoint of experience, speed ald
boxing skill, Savold has it all over
the Pennsylvania. In fact, at
times Savold seems to be the per-
feet performer; poem of motion.
A ring Jingle, anyway.
But all his wisdom and skill have
brought him is the reputation OF a
good, journeyman heavyweight He
lacks that something that makes
the standout, the champion. May
be Baksi has what Savold lacks
but he certainly lacks some of the
assets Savold possesse.
Anyway, the fight is fairly rep.

The promotion of both business

Civitan Club yesterday in speech
outlining the nature of the Cham

Because of tie voluntary basis

business minds in the community
to promote its aim, Mr.. Cartier
declared
The Chamber, which is democra-

must be organized into committees
in order to function efficiently, he
said.
Mr.. Cartier listed some of the

While / live, I'll tell the story
Of our Sayiour's love for man
He never mentioned PurgatOry,
Search and find it if you can.
Not even in the Apocryphat Book
of Second Maccabes III Mace. 12
As
The only place any Priest has took
To declare Doctrines such as these
They have no Bible for their Pope
Neither Cardinals or Priest
And it seems they have no hope
Frem their sins to be released.
Unless they pass through Purga-
tory
Which is a Myth l do declare
For the path that leads to Glory
Doesn't lead to such despair.
So this book from which they
quote
Is unauthentic we all know
So don let it get your goat
They can't prove by the Word it is
so.
/ want to know Gods living Word
About such things l will not worry
And from its pages you never
heard
A Thing of worshipping the Virgin
Mary.
Let the truth stand
! am not afraid
! belong to the Baptist band
We call spade a spade.
We put things as they are
We tell the truth to you
And won't come very far
I'm that very thing to do.
Know this, we only trust
I'm Calvary's Cross alone
And every sinner must
Start there to find his Home.
Our Faith then must begin
AT old GOlgotha's Hill
And there get Cleansed from sin
Or to Satan you'll pay the Bill.
