More Power to Pepco

Can't you start move to do some
thing for these men who have worked

Harold Ribalow, author of the

ball star Al Rosen in the March
April issue of Opinion Magazine.
Harold does a thorough job trac-
ing Al's background and record
in baseball, in addition to telling
a few stories concerning Cleve-
lands sensational third baseman.
Al was named the Most Valu-
able Player for 1858. He won the
runs batted in title, the home run
title, and barely missed the bat
ting crown by few percentage
points.
Ribalow points to the fact that
Rosen chose not to play on the
High Holy Days. He thus gave
up some valuable chances at the
plate which would have provided
an opportunity to gather hits
that would have boosted his
batting average.
