Irving streets in 1905. It was on
this site that the first structure
was erected. This land was bought
by the Methodist Episcopal
Church. South, Georgetown, under
the following circumstances.
The Rev. w. H. Balangee, pastor
of the Georgetown Church, on a
visit in 1905 to Ballston passed
through Clarendon and noticed
the section was without a church.
The following week he stopped at
Clarendon and learned of the Sum-
day School in operation. He met
Mrs. Overall and learned from her
that the property the school was
buying would be turned over to
ANY white Protestant denomina-
ton that would build a church
on it. In July, 1905. Mr.. Ballenge
bought the property for the
Georgetown Church with a view
of erecting building.
The cornerstone was laid July
10. 1906. and the first service was
held in it on November 81, 1906.
On December 5, 1906, the church
was organized with II charter
members. From 1906 to 1911 Mr..
Ballengee, who by that time had
apparently moved to Calvary
Church. and his assistant, J. j.
Rives, student at George Wash
ington University. who had a IL
cense to preach, conducted serv-
ices.
In 1923 a four story educational
building was put up at Tenth and
irving streets, North. During that
year the congregational sold its
old building to the Clarendon Pres
oyterian Church and moved into
the new structure.

Ted Raises Technical Point
Williams Says Right Hand
Generates His HITTING Power

think We both may be right. It's
possible that I get most of my
power from my right hand be-
cause I throw right handed and
my right hand is naturally the
stronger Of the two. It's also pos
sible that Musial, because he is
a left handed thrower as well as
a left handed batter, gets more
hitting power from his left hand
than his right.
This debatable point is similar
to one pitchers frequently get in
to when discussing the best way
to pitch to a certain hitter.
One pitcher will claim that he
gets the hitter in question out
more often by keeping the ball
low and on the outside. Another
will be equally as insistant that
it is better to pitch this batter
tight across the letters.
Actually both may be right.
Pitchers vary as much as hitters.
Some are more effective when they
keep the ball low. pitchers who
fire a natural sinker, for ex-
ample. have to keep the ball low
to be effective.
On the other hand, pitchers
who fire a pitch which has what
we ball players call "a hop on it"
can pitch a batter high and tight
with good results.

the st. Louis Browns invade Grif-
fifth Stadium for three games.
Washington's suddenly perked-
up pitching may have done some
thing for the teams hitters. Last
night, for instance, Eddie YoSt
greeted little Bobby Shantz with
a mighty home run which rico
cheted off the rain gutter atop
Shibe Parks second deck in left
field.
Then, in the second inning,
after Clyde Vollmer singled and
Al Kozar walked, AL Evans lofted
a homer into the lower left-field
stands, hosting the Mats into a
40 lead.
Sam Chapman's outfield fly
with the bases loaded staked
Philadelphia to run In the third,
but Evans singled across Vollmer
in the fourth.
Ferris Fain's homer after
Barney McCosky walked cut the

tions in the fifth. Hudson set
the AS down with two hits in
the last four innings.
MATS NOTES Fain's homer
was his third of the season,
equalling his entire 1949 output
-. Washington pitchers held the
opposition scoreless for 16 con-
secutive innings until Hudson
yielded a run in the third.
When Vollmer stole second base

.Ievision's Effect on Sports
Third and Last Of a SeriesJ
By Murroy Rose
Asseeioisd Press Sports Writer

1
NEW YORK, April 27.-Tele-
vision right now may be considered
a wonderful invention to some of
the major outfits in sports, but to
small operators 1t is strictly a
headache.
TV means extra gravy for such
moneyed giants Of sports as the
Yankees and Madison Square Gar
den, and storied Notre Dame which
sells out most of its football games
anyway.
But what about the small guys
the minor baseball leagues, the
lesser known colleges and the
neighborhood fight clubs, among
others?
Fight Managers Complain.
How about the athlete? What
does he get? Outside of the star
boxers, few are cashing in. Most
professional contracts call for one
sum to cover all rights. The
fighters, led by militant managers
guilds, are complaining bitterly
that they are getting just a pit
tance.
The fight managers want q
larger chunk of the TV money
but they would rather see the
medium tabooed altogether.
It is generally agreed that TV
is greater threat to attendance
at an outdoor event as compared
to an indoor attraction. Weather
is the prime factor.
Say for instance, that two small
colleges are playing on the same
Saturday that q Notre Dame
game is being telecast In their
area.
Their advance sale Is mur-
dered. Then, if it comes up rain
on Saturday, the little colleges
play to an empty house. This is
based on actual case histories.
Big Ten Cites Example
The Big Ten, as a matter of
fact, in announcing its decision
to ban Give" television, cited such
an example.
K. L. (Tug) Wilson, Big Ten
commissioner and NCAA executive
secretary, pointed to Otterbein
College in Ohio. which drew only
172 persons to a game held the
same day as the Ohio State game
was being televised.
The Eastern Colleg. Athletic
Conference. made up of most Of
the major institutions. reported
that "television is a potential
threat to the financial structure Of
intercollegiate athletics"
On the west coast, the football
coaches of the Pacific Coast Con-
ference expressed their opposition
to television of football games.
Reason? Reduced attendance. The
National Pro Football League has
banned telecasts for the coming
campaign.
