What the husky catcher did
was to:
Q Hit at least one homer in six
consecutive games to tie the exist
ing major league record and claim
one in the American Association
where no such records have been
kept.
. Knock in 20 runs in one week.
Q Lift his batting average to a
husky .346, and gain a spot among
the leagues top batters.
. Become a tremendous favorite
of st. Paul baseball fans.
The string OF homers brought
Campy's total to II for the season,
only three short of his seasons
total at Montreal last year. He
made hitting them look so easy
during the past week that the
fans have begun to expect him to
hit one each time at bat.
Park one, Roy, park one" they
yell, and the stocky catcher has
come through just often enough
that the fans now dote on him.
They applaud now, even when he
fails TO connect with the ball.
More than the homers them
selves, st. Paul fans were talking
about the height and distance the
balls were hit and the poise and

He has completely soothed any
hurt feelings the fans had over
not getting Duke Snider back.
Roy thinks the st. Paul fans
are great, too. He was pre-
scented a fishing rod among
other gifts when West St.
Paul fans held ION TO Lexing-
ton" night last week. Campy
was surprised when told that
there would be many more Of
the same nights.
Campanella and his family have
an apartment with Mr.. and Mrs.
James Rideaux in st. Paul On
the road he stays with the team in
all cities except Louisville and
Kansas City, where he stays with
private families. There have been
no incidents in any city, Campy
said, adding that he expected
none"
Obviously, many fans have
come out for each game to see
Campanella in action. The attend
ance at st. Paul games has been
almost twice that for Minneapolis
games. OF course, the Saints win
ming streak accounted for some Of
the crowd, but the number of peo-
pie yelling hit one while l can
see it," indicated that many want
ed TO see the American Associa-
tons first Negro hit one out of
the park.
A large number of Negro fans
continued to attend each game.
As a marked improvement over
what has been the case in some
major league games, the cOlored
fans are orderly, and mild
hammered. AS far as could be as
Ccrtained, there had been no rea-
son for complaint.

Monday. Then the Saints take to
the road.
Not-so-foul tips: We asked
Campy's four-year-old son, David,
if he intended to become a ball
player. Il already am" he
snapped back, and danced off to
play.
Campy is just one of the gang
with the St. Paul team. He thinks
they're a great bunch of fellas. &"
Seen along the first baseline:
Fans in box seats giving score
cards TO the batboy for Campan-
ella to autograph - something
they shouldn't do during game
time.
Sign of our times: Roy Campan-
ella never argues with the UNI
plre over balls and strikes. The
leagues first Negro can't afford
to. But Campy has what is known
as the silent protest" He just
drops his head disgustedly, and
it seems pretty effective, too.

GOODNESS Campy displays at the
plate. They have begun TO com
pare him with Ted Williams for
the long high drives. That's how
Ted Williams used TO hit them
when he was with Minneapolis, "
one fan was heard TO say. All but
perhaps one of the seven round
trippers hit during the six game
streak would have been out of
any park in the league. Saturday
night he hit one that cleared the
Coliseum over the left field fence.
Campy said that there was
no special trick to his tremen-
dOus hitting spree. "YOu just
go out and do the best you
can" he said. As for the hon.
ers, he credited them to "just
a streak OF luck"
Roy's slugging wasn't all good
news to Saints fans, however,
They became fearful that his hit
ting might cause Brooklyn to re-
call him. They noted that the fall
tering Dodgers had Bruce Ed
wards out Of the lineup, and
probably needed a catcher with
a few potential homers. Campy
doubted that the Dodgers would
recall him, however.
1t would be a terrific blow to
the fans if the spunky, quiet
hammered catcher were recalled.

After exhaustive discussion Of the
issue. the following resolution was I'M
animously adopted by the membership
Of the sportsmen's association:
Whereas. Montana sportsmen are
fortunate in having large areas Of ma
tional forest within the boundaries Of
this state. and
Whereas. Those national forests
were created for the use. benefit and
enjoyment of all Of the people. and
Whereas. There has been a constant
effort by selfish interests to take those
national forests away from the people
for one means or another. and
Whereas. The Rocky Mountain
Srortsmen's association has always
aided in the fight to preserve the peo-
pies heritage. and
Whereas. One OF the largest and
finest national forest areas in the
State Of Montana is in Lincoln county.
and
Whereas, The kootenai forest in
Lincoln county is Il sportsman's para
disc with abundant herds OF deer, elk
and CHER big game species and with
some Of the finest fishing in the State
of Montana. and
Whereas, The Forest Service pro-
poses to enter into an agreement with
the j. Neils Lumber Company of Lib
by, Montana whereby that corporation
would secure Il monopoly on the saw
timber in the Kootenai National For
est and would through The proposed
agreement be put in a position where

ing those built with federal money. in

exclusively into a lumber producing
reserve instead OF maintaining the ma
tional forests for the production OF

Whereas. The Rocky Mountain

democratic and monopolistic and
would for sixty years require prac'

to leave that county, and
Whereas. AS similar agreements
might be made covering other national

is just another phase of the national
