the second base job.
However the brightest spot in

this season but was handicapped
all during spring training with a
bad arm. He played with Salt
Lake City before entering service
and led the Pacific Coast service
league. Treasure Island nine with
a spanking 1850 average. A right

power at bat, says Duke.
In the outfield, Owen Myer, OF
Washington; John Clark, of
New York, and Nick Nicaletto
of Tampa, are battling for two
of the jobs with Willie plan

Profile OF
Louis Adumic

On April 10, the Philadelphia
Record published the following
profile-artic1e by it's literary
editor, Charles Lee:
Somebody once said that
what this world needs is more
people like Americans And
somebody else added, with as
much emphasis and probably
more truth, that what this coun-
try needs is more Americans
like Louis Adamic.
"Mr. Adamic, author of nu-
merous books, most famous OF
which is The Natives Return,
a ok-of-the-M O n tn Clut
choice in 1884, was born in 1895
in the small Slovenian village OF
Blato, then a part of Austria
and now a part Of Jugoslavia :.
He remained in Slovenia until
1913, when he emigrated to the
United States Before that
his fairly well-to-do peasant
parents had sent him through
the better part of secondary
school education, a process in
terrupted by expulsion as a re-
suit of his participation in q
demonstration against Austrian
rule.

merchant mariner Writing,
however, had been his earliest
serious ambition When still
in his native country, he had
begun contributing to a little

non-fiction, the latest of which,

Last week news was flashed
from the SDZ Convention, being
held in Lorain, Ohio, that Mr..
John Gornik, Sr., Sup. Secre-
tary, was stricken and passed
away. The news was electrify-
ing and stunning. Friends of Mr..
Gornik, though they knew he
was ailing Of late, refused at
first to believe the fact until con-
firmed. The news spread quick
ly around from neighbor to
neighbor and from house to
house. Everyone knew Mr.. Cor
mix and everyone liked him. The
news of his passing away some
what brought about the silence,
in our community, which greet
ed the nation when our late
President Roosevelt was called
to the Great Beyond.
The writer knew Mr.. Gornik
for many years, in fact he knew
me before I was able to recog-
niZe him, when he and Mrs. CIR
mix use to come around to visit
my parents. Outside of dealing
with Mr.. Gornik in business, our
paths did not cross until of late.
My association with him on fra
ternal and civic projects gave
me a chance to really know the
man. l cannot recall once that
he ever had an unkind word fol
anyone. When the Red Cross
the Green Cross, Infantile
Paralysis, or War Bond organi'
cations required a leader to spur
the cause on, they looked in the
direction of Mr.. Gornik anc
John was never one to refuse
Every job he tackled was a jot
well done.
The fact that you belonged on
one side of the fence did not mat.
ter. I recall the last favor he
granted; we were in need of a
typewriter, room and stencils
in connection with the recent
SNPJ Bowling Tournament
When asked to accommodate us he
did not hesitate. The SNPJ work
was done in the SDZ office or
their equipment, which work
kept him many hours after his
normal time of leaving the Of
flee. He still had a smile Wher
leaving us out, extending us ar
invitation to come back anytime
We know Mrs. John Gornik
Sr., need not be told that she
lost a fine husband and that the
sons and daughters will be minus
a grand father. The crowd that
paid their last homage demon
strated this. The community
