Sporkmon's Victory Cheered
By 300 at Manassas Reunion

There was an extra note Of jubi-
lance at Manassas National Bat
tlef1eld Park yesterday as some 300
loyal sons and daughters of the
South held their annual reunion
to commemorate two of the great
est Confederate victories there.
Traditional solemnity gave way
Ito cheers when John w. Rust
former Fairfax County State
Senator announced that Senator
Sparkman of Alabama had won
the Democratic vice presidential
nomination.
"Of course, I'd be very much
pleased if the Democratic nomi-
nees for President and Vice Presi-
dent were reversed on the ticket, u
said Mr.. Rust amid more applause
From Politics to History.
The program turned from cur
rent politics to past history as
seven gray-uniformed riflemen
marched up Henry House Hill.
The rifiemen. members of Rich
mond's Volunteer Militia, fired
several loud volleys from their au-
thentic- looking muskets.
It was exactly 81 years and five
days ago that Confederate forces
rallied on that same hill behind
the leadership of Gen. Stonewall
Jackson, and repelled the Union
forces in the First Battle of
Manassas.
Gen. Jackson won his nickname
during the fighting. It was given
him by Gen. Barnard Elliott Bee
of South Carolina, who died in
the fighting.
Frederick F. Wilshin, National
Park Service historian from
Fredericksburg who was principal
speaker at yesterdays exercises,
Evening star., 1952-07-27

said that the first battle was one
of the few complete victories OF
the war for either side.
South Too Confident.
But that victory made the South
too confident. Mr.. Wilshin said
Confederate troops lost a golden
opportunity by failing to pursue
the Yankees to Washington.
About one year later on August
20, 1862, the battlefield again was
the scene of bitter fighting in
the Second Battle of Manassas
Union forces under Gen. Pope
clashed with Confederate forces
under Generals Lee, Jackson and
Longstreet. There were two days
on close, bitter fighting. When
soldiers temporarily ran out OF
ammunition, they threw stones at
each other. The Union forces
again we're repelled, but this time
managed to make an orderly re-
treat to Centreville.
These two battles of the Civil
War saw more casualties than
some of the fiercest engagements
during World War II. In the
First Battle of Manassas, $3.50
were killed or wounded on both
sides in one day. Four days of
fighting at Tarawa during World
War II saw 3,178 American Ma
rines killed or wounded. There
were 1918 killed or wounded in
the Second Battle of Manassas,
compared to a toll of 20,328 Ma
rineS during SO days of fighting
at Two Jima.
Judge William M. Beard, COM
mander in chief of the Sons of
Confederate Veterans, discussed
religion in the Confederacy at the
exercises.

CHICAGO, April lit didn't
become known until yesterday that
Bob Kennedy of the Cleveland
Indians has been recalled to serv-
ice by the Marine Corps, but the
strong-armed outfielder admits he
has known about it ever since
February.
His orders, he said, arrived
shortly after Ted Williams of the
Red Sox and Jerry Coleman of
the Yankees got theirs. Only
Kennedy's wife and the Indians
manager, Al Lopez, knew his
secret, he said.

more important-another one that

Sox with two out. in the 11th in
ming last night, is to be the clubs
shortstop until further notice.
It was as a 14-year -old semipro

Just a few hours before Elliott
ruined opening night for Robin
Roberts and the Phillies, the doc
tors sewed together Monte Twins
torn iigaments. They said the
1851 runs-batted-in leader might
be ready to pinch hit in late July.
Elliott's performance and the
optimistic report on Irwin did
quite bit to restore some of the
glow of the miracle of 81.
Elliott's home runs, plus steady
four-hit pitching by Sal Maglie,
made New York's first night
opener a success with a 5-3 win
over the Phillies. It was Sal the
Barber's ninth straight over the
Phils. He struck out eight and
had trouble only in the three-run
fifth.
If Elliott keeps it up, the Braves
probably will swear off trading
with the Giants. Two years ago,
they gave them AL Dark and Eddie
Stanky, the makings of a pen
nant winner. And now Elliott,
who was holding out, comes to
life in a new uniform.
Ironically, the Braves staggered
through a rugged afternoon, alb
sorbing a 1913 pasting from the
slugging Brooklyn Dodgers. The
Dodgers f1attened Max Surkont in
the first inning and kept it up all
day for 20 hits, including five by
Duke Snider and a homer, double
and single by Roy Campanella.
Braves Make Seven Errors.

Robinson May Seek
Maxim's S Title Next
After Graziano K0
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, April 17.-Middle-
weight Champion Sugar Ray Rob-
inson, nearly 80 but still a
masterful fighter with a quick and
paralyzing punch, today was ready
for shot at his third world title
after a third-round knockout of
Challenger Rocky Graziano.
Robinson's defeat last night
of Graziano, former 160-pound
champion, before a Chicago Sta
dium crowd of 22,264 apparently
was stepping stone to a New
York showdown in June with
Champion joey Maxim for the
light-heayweight crown.
Sugar Ray confessed he went
"head-huntin' early" to down
Graziano in a brief but blistering
bout which paid $82,2 to Rob-
inson and $68, 8,507 to Graziano.

"Ah figured that against a
fighter like Rocky, you got to hurt
him quick to keep him from get
ting cocky," Robinson said. "You
toy with a slugger like him and
later when you clout him, he
thinks it's accidental. So I sailed
into him on every opening"
1t was a miscalculation that
dropped the curtains on eager,
wildswinging Graziano.
"See, I bounced off the ropes
in the middle of the third round
and clouted Robinson good with
a right and down he goes" !"
