EweU Blackwell May
Tie Record Tonight
CINCINNATI, July "a - up =

CINCINNATI, July "a - up -
Ewell Blackwell will be in double
jeopardy when he ties into Phil
adelphia tomorrow night in quest
of his 18th consecutive pitching
victory for the Cincinnati Reds and
his 18th win of the season.
The big threat against The
Whips" peace of mind is Harry
Walker, the National Leagues
leading batter, who has found
Blackie a soft touch. Walker, cur
rently batting .344, has hit safely
six times in II chances against
Blackwell for a .545 average.
But that is not all. The Phils as
a team have not found the young
pitching sensation other than an
average moundsman.
1t was Ben Chapman's club that
last defeated Blackwell. That was
on May 4 when the tall boy left
the game afte- seven innings and
lost, 5 to 8.
And Blackie just did stagger
through nine innings against the
Phils on July Is to win his 14th
consecutive game. He was bang
ed for 10 hits, but his mates hit
well behind him and he dragged
through, 5 tc 4.
1t was after. that game that John
ny Neun, Cincinnati MANAGE,
gave Blackwell four full days Of
rest instead Of the usuai three,
and he found it paid dividends.
Against the New York Giants LIST
Sunday, Blackie allowed seven
hits and Won going away, 4 10 /.
Blackwell will 60 to the mound
tomorrow night with four days
rest behind him.
A Blackwell victory tomorrow
night would equal an American
League record for consecutive
wins held by Schoolboy Rowe, now
of the Phillies, and others. It
would be three away from the Ma.
tional League record established
by RUDE Marquard Of the New
York Giants in 1912.

Yugoslav Agents Keep
Countrymen in Line
In CzechosIoyakia
By WiIIiom McGoffin
Foreign Correspondent Of The sior ard
the chieeao Dolly News

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Feb. IT
The knowledge that Yugoslav secret
police are operating here Is causing
foreign embassies considerable dis
turbance, though not half so much
as for Yugoslav residents.
Because of the Yugoslav terrorist
control system, which Is aided by
the Communist dominated Czech
police, some Yugoslavs dare not re-
turn to their homeland and all are
forced to toe the Tito line.
Yugoslav police, according to
reliable informants, have lists of all
Yugoslavs here. They call on them
regularly to examine their papers
and check their loyalty to the home
land. This surveillance has SO
intinidated Yugoslavs here that
they fear to be seen in public with
Americans, enemies" by Tito defini-
ton.
AS one Yugoslav acquaintance
said, There are plenty of things
could tell you, but 1 dare not be
seen talking to you. The Yugoslav
police might be watching"
Every Yugoslav in this country
knows of the frightening case of one
of their youthful compatriots.
This lad was summoned by the
secret police to the Yugoslav En-
bassy one day, about six months ago
They tied him up and kidnapped him
He escaped once but they caught
him again and removed him to
Yugoslavia.
He was held in jail for six months
before being brought to trial before
the Peoples Court on the charge
Of having collaborated with the
Royal Navy of exiled King Peter.
Yugoslavs here still shiver when
they think of this case. Although
the boy finally was cleared of the
charge, given a passport and al
lowed to return here. Their stories
might end differently-if they fail
to toe the Tito line.
