GreenbeIt Boy, Is, Seems Headed for Majors
Youngsfer Hitting .375 for Legion Nine Without &c

and George McQuinn Of the YAM
KEGS is listed at IT'S pounds, 5
feet 10 inches. They're not bad
country ball players.
Now this isn't very spectacular,
but the point Gerstel and Gold
fadden emphasize is that young
Randolph is absolutely green.
hasn't had q bit OF coaching.
He's hitting around .375 for
American Legion Post No. 136
and smacks those low, whistling
drives that make widows Of
pitchers wives. He hit only three
homers during the high school
season but he's got a big leaguer's
heart In the clutch. He tried q
new stance batting against the
Suitland nine week before last
and swatted two triples and .
double. Goldfadden says the
triples would have been homers
in a ball park, but out In the
country the outfielders can play
deep and when Harry comes up
they seem to be hiding in the
woods.
Randolph has a heavyweight's
hands and doesn't use the new
/, tangled scoop so popular with
youngsters. He prefers the old
style mitt and seems to be doing
all right with 1t.
Thought you might like to
known about the boy, so you
won't be too surprised a couple
of years from now If some big
league club slips him satchelfun
Of that green stuff for signing.
Now that the Philadelphia
Eagles have rented the towns
municipal stadium for the Red
skin game, Dick McCann points
with pride to the fact that the
Tribe will play in the Nations
three biggest football bowls
within three weeks. They are
Los Angeles Coliseum 1o2,0oo),
Chicago's Soldier Field 100000
and Philadelphia (l04,000). AS
McCann notes, few college teams
III any-have ever played in
all three and most certainly not
in one season.

Soviet Now Needs Only
Ito Form Committees
To Get Olympic Bid
By me A.soeiatsd Prsss

STOCKHOLM, June 1s.-On1y
the organization of a Soviet Olympic
Committee stands Id the way OF
Russia's participation in the ls4a
games at London, and international
olympic officials were hopeful to-
day that this detail could be worked
out.
Russia has been given member
ship in four world sports controlling
federations and now needs only to
organize Its committee to be eligible
for an invitation, IOC President j
Sigfrid Edstrom announced.
Edstrem said the Russians al
ready we're members of the inter-
national federation controlling Soc
Ger football, wrestling, weight lift
ing and basket ball They also have
applied for membership in the track,
swimming, boxing and marksman-
ship federations, he added.
British Olympic officials, who as
the hosts to the 1948 Olympiad send
out the invitations, said previously
the Russians could get delayed
bid to the 1948 games if their COM
mittee was organized in time to re-
ceive the invitation formally. Invi-
stations have already been mailed to
other countries.
To pave Russia's way for admis.
sion into the International Anna
teur Athletic Federation, world rul-
ing group In track, the IAAF has
forgiven" the Russians all their
transgressions up to and including
july l, 1947. The Russians gave
their champion and record break
ing athletes huge sums Of money
a practice forbidden by the IAAF.
Meanwhile, the Olympic Amateur
Commission of which Avery Brund-
age Of Chicago is chairman, pre-
sented to the IOC a new definition
of amateur"
In the commissions report to be
voted on by the IOC later In the
week, Brundage's grouo said, 1--WE
believe there are certain regula-
tions which might be recognized as
desirable for the Olympic Games
even though they are not applied
by federations to other events"

Factory and Farm Payrolls

Farm income represents about
o~ne-seventh of the national income.
How does it compare with factory
payrolls? Studies show that the two
have paralleled each other for
many years. For example, in 1928,
farm income totaled $11, ZOO, 900 and
factory payrolls amounted to SILL
100000. In the depression year of
1882, farm income dropped to
$1,000, 900 and factory payrolls hit a
low of $500, 900. Studies record that
factory payrolls follow farm income
up or down at intervals of three to
six months.

The historical background of "Old
Christmas" is uncertain. 1t may be
a throwback to the Gregorian calen-
dar or it may have started as q
celebration of the Twelfth Night
when the wise men came to Bethle-
hem bearing gifts for the Christ
child-that somehow got off sched-
ule a day. Elsewhere the Twelfth
Night is celebrated on January 6.
But those celebrations are far diff
ferent from Rodanthe's "Old Christ
mas" which only in recent years
has been supplemented by the OBJ
