Timely Tip Wins Bockers

first four games, will have faced
four left-handed starters and
until they demonstrate they can
smack southpaws more convinc-
ingly they won't be viewing
many more righthanders.
Stengel Talks Big.
But Casey Stengel, the pla-
toon minded boss of the Yankees,
tries to be convincing in saying
he has the players to make the
Senators-and probably some
other clubs, too-suffer as a
result.
"They keep throwing left
handlers at us. We'll throw right
handed batters at them" STEM
gel said. I'm going to keep
playing the kids (Bill Skowron
and Bob Cerv). They'll hit some
long ones and then you'll see
somebody change his mind"
Harris isn't likely to change
his mind off what he's seen thus
far. He saw Stobbs pitch bril-
hantly against the Yankees Tues
day in the Washington opener
and Johnny Schmitz followed UP
with another excellent, but los
ing, effort. The Yankees OBJ
tanned only five runs off them
and two of those were tainted.
JOOst Skeptical, Too.
Eddie Joost, new manager of
the Athletics, isn't convinced
either that the Yankees can han
die left-handers. The champions
beat Alex Kellner, 80. Thursday.
but it's been superb pitching
rather than hitting that has
given the Yankees their two vic
tories in three games.
Actually, the use of lefthand-
ers against the Yankees affects
only two positions in New York's
batting order. It sends Skow-
ron to first base instead of Ed
die Robinson or Joe Collins and
it places Cerv in leftfleld in
stead of Gene Woodling.
'I'd rather have Skowron and
Cerv playing against us than
those other fellows" Harris says.
Maybe Skowron and Cerv will
develop and be as dangerous as
Woodling and Robinson, for in
stance. but right now I, think
lefthanders have the best chance
against the Yankees"
Yankees Not Hitting.
Bucky's theory is 100 per cent
correct to date. Cerv has gone
hitless in five attempts against
Washington southpaws and
failed in three chances against
Kellner. Skowron was hitleSs in
seven tries against the Senators,
failing to get ball out of the
infield, but against Kellner he
doomed a home run and a triple
in three efforts to lift his av-
erage to 200.
The Yankees have compiled
only six hits in each, of their
three games. but the Senators
gave them one decision with
shoddy fielding and Tom Nor
gan blanked the AS for the 9TH
er. Unlike Yankee teams of the
past, they haven't astonished
anybody with their hitting.
Yogi Berra is the only left
handed hitter in the Yankees
lineup against southpaw pitch
ing and he hasn't thrived on it.
He's hitting .154. Switch-hit-
ting Mickey Mantle obtained
only a scratch single IN seven
tries against the Senators and
went hitleSs against Kellner.
He's batting .083.
II don't know if lefthanders
can contain Berra and Mantle, -
Harris said, but I think the

meetlng is expected to begin on
saturday 18th and run for 80 DAYS
through Monday, July 4th.
MI. Fleld, reached on the long
Instance telephone, said:
Because the Delaware Park
stockholders do not take dividends,
we are enabled to spend the money
TOT purses and stakes, thus attract
ing the champion horses, which
bring the Out-Of-state customers. to

taxes for Delaware. Delaware is a
small state with a small population
and could not of itself support a
racing enterprise of the size and
scope Of Delaware Park. The stock
holders are spOrtsmen, and their
generosity is rare if not unique"
While the full Delaware Park
stake schedule will not be an
nOunced for some time, the Sc

line up in 1855 as follows:

DELAWARE HANDICAP, so as to
bring greater fame and honor to the
second smallest state in the Union,
as the Delaware Park feature has
already become nationally known,
and next season foreign entries are
a strong possibility.

designed as a prep for the della

name New Castle" and thus per-
petuate a name historic in the
states tradition.

New Castle for fillies and mares,
and the newly named $3.50, 1000 gross

fillies and mares, thus making avail

dollars for the distaff side of the
thoroughbred family, the three
events thus placed being unique in
America and perhaps in the world.

8. The building up by proper pro-

The foregoing steps have been
discussed in close confidence for
many months by officials at Della

time that the racing picture" was
becoming increasingly competitive
from the standpoint of the local
race course which is the largest
mile racetrack in America. When
the track was opened in 1897 there
was no competition closer than
New York, and Delaware Park had |
a clear field for patrons in Wash

This situation has changed year

position of Delaware Park is the |

factors have added to the situation. !

e days Immediately preceding and
Christians have interpreted as re-
ferring to the birth of Christ. The
Christian feels that the Old Test
ament can best be understood in
the light Of the revelation in
Christ, and he views the great cru
cial figures and prophecies in the
Old Testament as having their true
meaning in the way they show
forth the Christ who is to come.
Thus Adam, Abraham, Isaac, Moses,
David Solomon and other great Old
Testament personalities gain addi-
tiOnal significance because they
partially embodied that which
Christ fulfilled. Adam is the first
born of the human race, lust as
Christ is the first-born of re-
deemed humanity
Others Of them are leaders of
the old Israel, just as Christ is
the head of the new Israel. Like
wise the figures spoken of in Heb
rev prophecy (such as the Lamb,
the Suffering Servant, the Messiah,
the Redeemer, Emmanuel the
WOrd) are regarded as predicting
the Christ and fulfilled by Him.
These are often called 'prefgures'
of Christ, since they fOreshOw His
coming. Seven Of these prefgures,
both personal and prophetic, are
shown in this series. They begin
with Adam and end with the Word,
which became fresh and dwelt
among us when Jesus was born
in Bethlehem of Judea."

The Rev. Marvin p. HaIverson,
executive director of the Depart
ment of Worship and the Arts of
the National Council Of Churches
which has a membership Of 80 de-
nominations, has long worked with
the traditional Christmas pictures
and thoroughly approves Of them.
But this year he asked himself,
"lsn't there a broader base from
which to view the Christmas story?"
In answering his own question
he turned to the many references
to the coming of Christ which are
found in the Old Testament. 'HOw
have the artists represented these
references?" he asked.

about the project:
