South Africans Show
Extreme National Pride
Despite Internal Strife

CAPE TOWN. South Africa,
Aug. 6 (C.D.ND Americans Wis
iting South Africa are over
whelmed with the hospitality Of
the country.
In few places of the world are
they treated so royalty by friends
and acquaintances and so cour-
teously by strangers.
The secret is that South Afri-
cans-regardless of how much
they despise each other on racial
and nationality questions - are
sold up to the hilt on their coun-
try. And they want to tell every
body about it.
To any one outside their own
bitter family quarrel, nothing is
too good or too much trouble.
II am beginning to feel like the
ruling potentate from Minnesota
said G.. L. Gillette. Minneapolis
industrialist as he sailed from
Cape Town with his wife after
two weeks in South Africa.
These people make you feel like
you are the most important per-
son who has even been here.
They are so enthusiastic it is con-
tagious."
Those are more or less the
sentiments Of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Grove. Los Angeles. who are
sailing their yacht around the
world. Grove was formerly in
the electrical business in Los
Angeles.
When an American asks a
stranger question, he invariably
is asked:
canadian? American? Aus
tralian?"
Tourist Gets Plainly of Help.
But conductors dismount and
draw maps on the street to help
visitors find their way. Then
some one passing by takes up the
Job and walks several blocks out
of his way to make sure.
This applies also to a great ma
tority of the Afrikaners OF Dutch
ancestry. once called Beers, as well
as the British. They were here be-
fore the British. back in the late
16OOs, and they claim they have
right to like the place better than
anyone else.
Walters, taxi drivers. hotel
clerks, postal employees and shop
clerks try to outdo each other.
particularly when they spot
newcomer. That applies to all
races, nationalities and creeds.
Johannesburg a high-geared
metropolis, hasn't yet taken on
that air of impersonalism OF older
big cities. 1t is still too new and
everybody is proud of everything.
Cape Town Is the Oldest.
The same is true OF Durham.
despite its troubles among Afri-
cans and Asiatics. Originally a
British colony, the Natal province
is more like British colonial city
than is either johannesburg or
Cape Town.
To many. Cape Town is the
most interesting. 1t is oldest. The
Portuguese discovered the cape in
1896. They tried to land in 1910
but were wiped out by the Hotten-
tots. The Dutch came during the
next century. and they sent a
governor here in 1852.
AS a summer resort this city has
fine beach hotels. Even now. In
midwinter. they are filled with
vacationers who take off from
work during what is summer In
the Northern Hemisphere.
"These Cape Towners are like
homefolks." said one American. Il

Artillery Men
Meet At Depot

LACARNE - The STANDARDIZED
ton of artillery maintenance pro-
cedures was the main subject of
discussion at a two-day confer
ence the first of the week at Erie
Ordnance Depot.
Representatives from Detroit
Arsenal, the Office of the Chief
of Ordnance and Erie Ordnance
Depot were in attendance.
The conference opened Monday
morning with a welcome by Col.
Earl S. Gruver, Commanding Of
ficer of Erie Ordnance Depot.
Discussions on the various publ
cation media covering directions
for artillery maintenance, and
their proper and most effective
use, were conducted by Maj. E. r.
Urquhart and w. T. Peters, of
the Office of the Chief of Ord
nance.
Representative at the meeting
included: Maj. Olin P. Halt, w.
G. Schuttee, w. C. Halt, w.
Robert Taylor, Detroit Arsenal;
w. H. Hankin, Frankford Ar
senal; 1t. Col. r. B. Fontaine and

posts will have to be manned by
rockies chosen from the numeric-
ally slim group now in training.
Brightest of the newcomers ap-
pears to be Mike Garcia, a pow
erful fastballer of Mexican an
cestry, who won 10 games for
second division Oklahoma City in
194S. Lyman Linde, recently
with Baltimore, and Will Hafey
from Oakland rank next although
both were handicapped last sum-
mer by arm injuries.
But even with the uncertainty
attached to the ninth and tenth
spots, Cleveland figures to present
the most capable pitching lineup
seen in many years. What man
ager wouldn't like to have Bob
Feller Bob Lemon and Gene
Bearden for n nucleus and then
draw from such talent as Steve
Gromek, Early Wynn, Frank Pa
pish, Sam Zoldak and Satchel
Paige.
And the rest of the club is just
as we'll stocked with established
starts as the pitching staff. For
instance, who can match the all
around brilliance of the Tribe in
field? They were tops in 194S
with Ken Keltner at third, Lou
Boudreau at short and Joe Cor
don at second. Now with Mickey
Vernon at first, the Indians can
boast an inner defense composed
entirely of members Of the Amer
lean League All-Star team.
Behind the plate, Cleveland
can point to the finest one-two
staff in either league. In Jim
Hogan they have the best of pres
ent day receivers and tireless
athlete who can provide extra
base hits in the clutches while
his understudy, Mike fresh, offers
the experience of tenyear vet
eran in the majors.
Position for position, the In
dams look much stronger than
they did a year ago when they
We're good enough to capture the
Worlds Championship. 1t would
be foolish not to pick them at
this date as the likely winners
again in 1949.
To round out truly dangerous
offensive nine, Manager Boudreau
can field three 800 hitting out
fielders. Dale Mitchell, third
ranking batter in the league last
summer, will play left. The Negro
rookie, Larry Dolby, who hit .301,
will be in center, while Allie
Clark (.310) could easily get the

cleveland INDIANS WORRY
over LACK OF Relief PITCHERS

eff we can come up with SOM
capable relief pitching, l thinl
the Indians will repeat in 1949.
That was Cleveland Manager Lo,
Boudreau's brief appraisal of hi
clubs chances after observing hi!
old and new charges during tn,
FIRST two weeks of their spring
condftioning program at Tucson
Arizona.
"We expect our toughest com
petition to again come from Bos.
ton and New York." Boudreau ad-
ded, "but, of the two, the Red SoS
may be the harder to lick because
of their successes at home" BY
way Of rounding out the first di-
vision, the Indians brilliant
shortstop-pilot picked Detroit to
finish ahead of Philadelphia for
the fourth spot.
1t may come as surprise to
some observers that a team boast
ing eight first class starting
hurlers should be concerned over
their pitching staff but, paradox
ical as it may appear, that seems
to be the chief problem in the wig
wan. Of the eight only Sam
Zoldak, the squatty Polish south
paw obtained from the Browns
early last summer, has the rubber
arm necessary to take over the
hill chores with little or no warm
up. Satchel Paige, the lanky
Negro ace, needs about fifteen
minutes to get ready and the
same applies to Bob Feller and
the remainder of Cleveland's star
studded cast.
Boudreau is still hopeful Of find
ing at least a partial answer in
Early Wynn or Frank Papish, the
two veterans added to the Indians
roster through winter trades with
Washington and Chicago, but his
greatest chance may well lie in the
pOSc1uit Itlulil W uSlloll VI lNuSo
Christopher.
However, there is considerable
doubt that the lanky relief
chucker will continue in baseball
this summer. Christopher has
plans to retire but both Bill Veeck
and Boudreau, encouraged by the
findings of west coast heart
specialist, are still holding a spot
on the staff for their amazingly
effective fireman.
Should Christopher stick with
his decision to quit and Don Black
fail to make a comeback from his
near-fatal injury of last Septem-
Der, there will be two vacancies
on the Cleveland staff. Barring
future trades or purchases, these
