the Easter week end, the Grif6thS and
Bucky Harris finally admitted it. It took
only the better part of a year.
And now that the search is on, what
kind of names are they dropping? Sam
Dente, Ed Pellagrini, Jim Brideweser. If
they felt there was the slightest chance of
getting him, they probably would mention
little Willie Miranda, who can't hit, either.
This, it says here, is the tip-off on the
Senators. Leaving out pitching, who is
more important on ball club than the
sfaortstop? Nobody. School children know
that one of the reasons why the Yankees
always are winning is because of Phil Riz-

Against As Tonight;
McDermott Shines
By Burton Howkins

The remodeled Athletics, boil
stored by the addition of several
ex-Yankees. move into Griffith
Stadium tonight and against
them the Senators hope to in
augurate a ono Uninterrupted
home stand that will prove to
the rest of the American League
that the Washington club must
be regarded seriously.
Sixteen of the Senator's next
II games will be at home, with
a visit to Philadelphia Wednes-
day night sandwicheG. in the
schedule. and Manager Bucky
Harris hopes to be able to show
a winning margin when his club
hits the road again.
Spec Shea, trimmer than last
season, will make his 1854 debut
against Philadelphia tonight,
with Morris Martin, a lefthander,
slated to pitch for the Athletics.
The AS generally are regarded
as a more formidable outfit since
they acquired First Baseman Don
Bollweg. Outfielders Vic Power
and Bill Renna and Catcher Jim
Robertson from the Yankees.
Coupled with Second Baseman
Spook Jacobs, a refugee from the
Brooklyn farm system, they have
served notice they'll be a tougher
outfit than the seventh-place
Athletics of 1853.
McDermott in Form.
Heartened by the pitching he's
seen in the Senator'S first four
games. Harris says, II think we
should be able to give ourselves
a cushion during this home
stand. Well be operating in a
big park and if our pitchers are
on the beam we can make it
rugged for anybody"
Maury McDermott gave the
Senators a quick dividend on the
December deal that sent Out
fielder Jackie Jensen to the Red
Sox when he beat the Yankees,
9-3, yesterday in New York. The
tall lefthander weakened in the
eighth inning and required re-
lief from Sonny Dixon, but by
that time the Senators had
wrapped up the game.
McDermott held the Yankees
to two hits in the first seven
innings. Those hits-singles by
Bill Skowron and Yogi Berra-
followed a walk to Hank Bauer
in the fourth inning and pro-
duced the run that gave the
Yankees a 10 lead.

Great Task
y WILLIAM J. CONWAY

~ VtGAbeAtbNN - SStNNNEI
EVANSTON, Ill. R-Christian
leaders today turned to discus
sion Of their great, centuries-old,
unfinished task - carrying the
Gospel to millions Of nom
Christians.
Delegates to the Assembly Of the
World Council of Churches gath
cred to hear q report by the Com
mittee on Evangelism.
Drafters Of the report have
heard many suggestions for in
creasing the number Of Christians,
who still are q minority In the
world as q whole.
Among the ideas placed before
them were these: !.
MESSAGES and methods should be
directed more to workers, particu-
larly in Asia and other areas
where the Communists are trying
to recruit them.
LaymeT, including writers OF
widely circulated copy, should play
larger part in spreading the
faith.
Effective use should be made Of
the media Of mass communication
- movies, radio, television, news
papers, magazines, books - in this
era Of competition for access TO
the minds Of men.
The delegates realize Christian
evangelists face a challenging
task. They have been told that,
despite their gains, the earth's to-
tai population is growing faster
than the Christian population.
Evangelism is one of the sub.
themes of the meeting Of repre-.
sentatives Of To- denominations
from 4S countries.
The main theme is "Christ-the
Hope Of the World"
A 51-page report on that subject
was presented to the delegates
Wednesday by a coordinating COM
mittee headed by Lutheran Bishop
Hams Lille Of Hanover, Germany.
It was accompanied by q state.
ment from the committee. Debate,
revolving principally about the
statement, continued through the
Wednesday night session without
q decision.
A revised statement subject
to further revision - was sched-
uled to be placed before the dele
gates late today.
The report denounced commu-
nism as the road to 'totalitarian
dictatorship and found some fault
with democracies too.
