L0ND0N-(NC) ~ Poland'S high

est Catholic prelate there, His En-
inenee Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski
Primate of Poland.
The attack on the recently Great

makes m on hs of propaganda
charges against various Polish
priests and Bishops.
According to a copy received
here. the government daily called
Cardinal Wyszynski and Josef Car
dinal FringS, Archbishop Of Col
ogne. the two greatest foes of the
Polish peoples republic in the Col
Iege Of Cardinals" "
The paper charged that the new
Cardinal is carrying on in Pol
and the Vatican's politics contrary
tc the interests of the peoples de-
mocracy." II added: Let there be
no doubt that in the matter of the
recovered former Germany terri
tories, the Polish nation stands on
one side, and the Vatican and Car
dinal Gyszynski on the other"
AT the same time the Red regime
is using terror and violence TO car
~ out its new decree making all
church appointments subject to
communist approval.
Red police removed by force a
pastor. his assistant and house
keeper from a village parish in the
Katowice diocese. At first the at
tempt to remove the priests was
foiled by an army of faithful who
termed a solid human line around
the rectory Confronted with this
scene the Red Police simply drove
away. But they returned three
nights later and seized the priest
and the houSekeeper.

It's got two 20-game winners
HAL Newhouser and Carver, a
19-game winner Cart Houtte-
mani and another potential 20
game winner Gray. Then we
have fellows like Bill Wight, Ray
Herbert and Hoeft. Maybe what
they need is better weather"
Despite Detroit's disappoint-
ing start. the pitcher-pilot is
convinced the Tigers are a bet
ter club than last years base

said. II think we can beat out
st. Louis and Philadelphia, and
maybe Boston. ! know the Red
Sox are going good right now,
but I believe they will sag as
the season progresses. Their
kids are hot right now but
they'll cool off,"
Hutch hasn't had too many
things to gloat about this year,
but he is pleased with the hit
ting of big Walt Dropo and
Outfielder Don Lund and thinks
he has one of the finest young
players in the league in Harvey

DENVER, May 20.-An aging
Tommy Gibbons-the same man
who once fought Is rounds with
Jack Dempsey only to be out
pointed-is trying to fight
vastly different sort of battle in
a Denver hospital.
This time it's a prayerful
struggle for the life of his
daughter Mary, 19, unconscious
more than three days from in
juries in an auto accident.
I'D give >anything if I could
take her place and fight it for
her." the doughty one-time boxer
whispered. "All I can do is
pray"
Gibbons, who since has be-
come the perennially elected
sheriff of st. Paul, Mimi, wearily
talked to newspapermen last
night outside his daughters
room at St. Josephs Hospital.
Comparatively light for a
heavyweight but making 1t up
with a sharp punch and clever
boxing, Gibbons first entered the
ring in 1918.
It was 10 years later. on July
4, 1923, at Shelby, Mont, that
he battfed Dempsey for the
championship. He became one
of the few ever to go the full is
rounds with Dempsey. Two
years later he retired, sold in
surance for a decade and then
won his first term as sheriff.

Mats Expect 10 Show
Tribe Different Brand
Of Play Here Tonight
Washington and Cleveland will

Washington and Cleveland will
give it another try at Griffith
Stadium tonight after being
rained out last night, and the
Mats expect to show the Indians
a somewhat different brand of
baseball than they displayed on
their Western trip.
The teams have had only brief
contact this season. A little over
two weeks ago the Mats paused
long enough in Cleveland to lose
a Sunday e-header, TO and
4-3, before going on to much
better things.
Cleveland is the only club
Washington hasn't beaten this
season, and to remedy that sit
uation, Manager Bucky Harris
will use the only regular on the
Mats pitching staff who hasn't
lost a game. Spec Shea (2-O is
his pitching choice for tonight,
while the Indians are sticking
with their nomination of Bob
Feller G-2).
Mats Win 9 Of IL.
That double header loss in
Cleveland left Washington in
seventh place with a 6-12 record.
Since then the Mats have won
nine out of II. Cleveland will
see just about the same lineup
tonight-with the exception that
Clyde Vollmer has moved up
over Jackie Jensen into the
cleanup spot-but it also will see
a team that has more confidence
and commands more respect.
Tonight might be a fine time
for Jensen to come out of his
batting slump. Any worries he
might have had should be over
now. His wife, the former Zoe
Ann Olsen of Olympic diving
fame, presented Jackie with a
6-pound, 9-ounce boy yesterday
at Georgetown Hospital.
Good pitching and fielding has
helped Washington's rise. The
fielding averages, which some
times are misleading, show the
Mats are in second place.
Terwilliger Ranks Second.
One Of the defensive standoutS
is Wayne Terwilliger, second only
TO- Nellie Fox of the White Sox
among major league second base
men. Fielding averages compiled
by the Associated Press give Fox
a 1895 average. with only one er-
ror in 189 chances. A hair behind
is Terwilliger with 1894. He has
had only one error in 1854
chances. Best in the National
League is Red Schoendienst of
the Cardinals with 1886.
Washington's fielding skill is
pointed up by the fact the club
leads the league with "a double
plays. and Terwilliger has taken
part in 20 of them.

NEW YORK, May 20.-"Our
pitching stinks!"
Manager Freddy Hutchinson'S
explanation for the sorry showing
of his Detroit Tigers was forth
right and to the point.
That has been the biggest
disappointment" the blunt
speaking skipper said before last
nights game against the
Yankees. only Billy Hoeft and
Ned Carver have been pitching
with any degree of consistency.
Our pitchers are beginning
to show signs of perking up,
however" Hutch added quickly
"And l really believe that the
worst is past. We should be all
right from now on"
Fielding Whips Gray.
Pitching wasn't to blame for
last nights Az loss in IL in
nings to the Yankees. Southpaw
Ted Gray hurled splendidly until
he fed Hank Bauer a home-run
ball following Mickey Mantle'S
double in the 18th. He yielded
only six hits in 10 innings and
famed nine. Loose fielding was
responsible for the first two New
York runs.
Hutchinson admitted he spent
q sleepless night during the drSt
month of the campaign but
pointed out the Tigers recently
won three straight on the road.
He hopes it is a sign Of better
things to come.
Baseball is a tough game to
figure" he said ruefully. Be
fore the season began, I thought
pitching was going to be our
forte. I was a little concerned
with our hitting and defense.
