Sports Review
By JIMMIE N. JONES

Among the major league pilots
already hanging out the "Crying
Towel" is Chuck Dresser, field
boss Of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
While it is not unusual for mana
gers, coaches or even players to
discourage predictions of sports
writer's and others regarding their
teams being winners of pennants,
in the case of the Dodgers, Skip
per Dresson does have the right to
cry.
It's obvious from the stand
point of his pitching staff for the
1851 campaign as explained from
the front office of the Dodgers.
Since taking over the reigns Of
the team, Chuck had listed his
first four hurlers as Don New
combe, Erv Polica, Ralph Branca
and Carl Erskins. However, the
army has seen fit to take Polica
into the service and now it seems
that Branca may follow him if the
At exemptions are lowered. If
Branc is taken, that will leave
"Big Don" as the "Lone Eagle"
and the only starting Highlander
on the squad. Again, pass the
aspirins to Chuck Dresser.
Newcombe, we'll remembered for
his slow start last season when he
was troubled with a sore arm and
made only six starts up to June
and was knocked out of the box
, 1951-02-01

four of the six trips to the box.
This alone was the reason he could
do no better than a 1911 record
last season. In effort to live up to
the prediction Of his new manager,
that the Dodgers would get off to
a good start and to avoid the 1850
early season miseries which laid
him up during that period, he is
going to Hot Springs, Ark, for a
two weeks "boii out" before re-
porting to Vero Beach, Fla. Said
the Big One, 81 am overweight
about 10 pounds with the 248 I
am now carrying. He believes he
can win 20 or more games if he
feels the way he did at the end Of
the 1850 season.
Don began to find himself af-
ter month of June and won four
complete games in a row from
the Western clubs but had diff
Guilty in whipping the Eastern
teams such as the Giants, Braves
and the Phillies. His outstanding
feat was the doubleheader he hurl-
ed against the "Kids" winning the
first one by the score Of 20 and
was forced to retire after seven
innings of the second game with
the Dodgers in trailing 20. Dan
Bankhead received credit for the
second game when the Dodgers
came from behind to win. Trying
for number 20, against the Phills
went for naught when Dick Sisler
homered in the tenth frame to give
Robin Roberts his goth win for
the season.

Ask $5OO,OOO Aid
To Negro Churches

ATLANTA, Feb. l.. (ANP)-
The Presbyterian church board of
church extension has been asked
for $5OO,O 900 to assist in building
churches for Negro members OF
the denomination during the 1851
So period. The request came from
the Rev. Alex R. Bachelor, secre-
tary of Negro work.
Rev. Bachelor told the board
that surveys in seven southern
states disclosed that the average
Negro church is totally inadequate

average white church. The surveys

Scott Lucas mended his ways in

in the direction Of the nomination
for vice president.
Sen. O'Mahoney saw the light in
1916 when his reactionary ideas on
cloture stopped the President from
appointing him secretary Of interi-

Proceeds From Mt. Lake Park Gas
Well Will Aid African Missionaries

T. A. Kimmell, one of the five
trustees of the association, said yes
terday that the group has been sup
porting DR.. and Mrs David l.. Stew
ant as missionaries in the Congo re-
gion in Africa, and they would con
tinue to do so while they remain in
Africa for five years.
These additional funds that will
become available from the gas wells
output, will be used to build better
quarters for the missionaries for hos
pital care and possibly to add another
missionary to the field. Mrs Stewart,
he said, is the daughter Of DR.. O. H..
Calls, of West Palm Beach. Fla, who
is president of the association that
has been holding summer camp meet
ing sessions at the Park for the past
68 years.
Other trustees besides Mr. Kimmell
are Stanley Ashby, Thomas Shaffer,
Leon Ford and Rev c. 5. Thompson.
Additional output was reported

Proceeds From one gas well Ital.
The proceeds from one of Garrett
County's productive gas wells will be
used entirely for missionary purposes,
it was disclosed yesterday by one of
the trustees Of the Mt. Lake Park
Holiness Meeting Association.
The associations we'll which became
productive about two weeks ago with
an output of around 100000 cubic
feet of gas per day, has now increased
to around 10 million cubic feet with
additional drilling.
Providing it is piped into the high
pressure lines with about the same
daily output as the n. X. WEIGH well,
it would mean that the income from
this one well for the association would
mean from $4,000 to $4,000 per
month Trustees said their share is
not divisible with other property
owners in the neighbOrhood, and that
the lease is between the association
and gas company exclusively. In the
case of the Welch well, other owners
of the block of 300 acres come in for
their proportionate share.

McKeldin Takes
Over AS Governor

Theodore Roosevelt McKeldin, who
as a boy had been a newsboy, and
who once worked as a gravedigger to
help pay for his education, was sworn
in as Marylands 58th governor at
noon yesterday. He is the fourth Re-
publican to be elected to such office,
and was elected in his third attempt.
In his inaugural address, delivered
from the east portico of the old State
House, he warned of war and declared
that civilian defense was the first
need of the state. Maryland's close
ness to the national capital, it's ma
ior harbor and its concentration of
vital industries were cited to show
the grave Importance of preparation
along this line.
The war crisis and its promise of
added federal taxes, inhationary
prices and the possibility that "the
federal government may even invade
areas of taxation from which the
states heretofore have derived their
principal revenues, make it impera-
tive for the state to adopt a policy
of rigid economy" he said.
He said he would appoint a special
commission with the objective Of
eliminating overlapping and dupli-
cation of functions in government
and to improve the states fiscal prac-
tees
He criticized the highway building
program inaugurated during Cover
nor Lanes administration He called
for full and vigorous enforcement
of the ODER anti-subversive law,
while still recognizing the obligation
of safeguarding the rights of the in
dividual. He called for state solidarity
in the days ahead.
The ceremonies marked the first
time since 1885 and the fourth time
in history that Republicans have had
a chance to see a member of their
own party become Governor of Mary
land.
