Military Pallbearers
Respond To Request

The Oakland honorary pallbearer
group composed of members of the

WELL according to T/Sgt. George F.
Kirby, director of the group. He said
veterans and others had taken a def
mite interest in the project.
Since % men in uniform are re
CURED for each military funeral, all
military organizations have joined
to form this new group. Its repre-
sentativcs include members of the
national guard unit, American Lee

Sgt. Kirby said questionnaires had
been circulated and veterans were be-
ing requested to complete and return
them as soon as possible. He said he
had received information that all war
casualties in the Korean war were
being returned to the States for re-
burial and will be buried in national
cemeteries or in private family grave
yards according to the wishes of the
next of kin.
The new group will assist in the
burial of all veterans if military
funeral is desired by the family, if
the man was killed in action or by
natural death, if he has an honorable
discharge from military service.

Foin Having His Greatest Year;

for the Californian as the AS
swept doubleheader from the
Yanks. 5-4 and 9-6, the second
game halted after eight innings by
Pennsylvania's Sunday curfew. He
collected six hits in eight tries, in
|cluding two doubles and a triple
and drove home five runs.
Even as late as last week. the
Athletics were trying to make a
deal with the Yanks, with Fain as
the AS offer. Ehlers telephoned
George Weiss, the Yankees gen.
eral manager, asking for an inter-
view.
Weiss replied. "sure. come on
over"
Ehlers went and, after exchang-
ing pleasantries, the two got
down to what was on their minds
"a possible deal.
Said Weiss, ''I'll take Fain."
Snapped Ehlers, "Whatll you
give me for him?"
Wanted Billy Martin.
Weiss made a sweeping offer
Iof Johnny Hopp. Billy Johnson
Cliff Mapes. Fred Sanford OF
Tommy Byrne, any one of them
or all five, Ehlers said, plus al
undisclosed amount of cash.
Ehlers turned him down, say
ing: y don't need an old-timel
like Hopp; if Sanford can't win
for you, he'll never win for us,
Byrne is no youngster and he
can't find the plate; could have
had johnson on waivers, and who
wants Mapes?"
But" Ehlers added, "I1l take
Billy Martin (The Yanks' young
second baseman): I think he's
going to be great. Or Bob Grew
the outfielder with Kansas City;
he's great prospect"
No dice" Weiss said.
After Weiss declined an invita-
ton to lunch, Ehlers hoped the
train back to Philadelphia.
Fain still wore the livery of the
Athletics.

BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, May 14.-Fer-
Iris Fain, the smooth fielding first
baseman of the Athletics. who has
been sought repeatedly by the
Yankees. made officials of the
New York club regret he was not
on their side during the three
game series here.
And the AS were just as glad
that nobody, including the Yanks,
would pay the price they asked
| for the fiery burrhead.
In an effort to rebuild a club
that finished a poor last in 1850,
General Manager Arthur Ehlers
dangled Fain as trading bait in
front of several teams. Both the
Yankees and Tigers wanted Fain.
In exchange the AS wanted a
hard hitting outfielder. But nei-
ther the Yanks nor Tigers were
willing to part with the man En-
Ilers or Manager Jimmy Dykes
wanted.
Having His Best Season.
Now Fain is enjoying his best
season since he came to the AS
in 1947 from San Francisco. Rec
ognized as the finest fielding first
baseman in the league. he has
added to his value this year by
clouting the ball for a lusty 49,
average in "a games. His best
previous year was his first year
when he hit .291.
Fain's 24-game average shows 3;
hits in 81 times at bat. His hit:
Include 10 doubles. a triple and g
home run. He has driven in Il
runs and scored 10.
In the three-game series against
the Yanks, Fain boosted his aver.
age 27 points, getting eight hits
lin 13 times at bat. He had foul
