The Key West citizen., 1954-09-30
BY 60 coRRIcAN

NEW YORK R-Say, hey, now,
was that the greatest catch of his
young career that Willie Mays
made on Vic Wertz in the New
York Giants So opening World
Series victory yesterday?
NAV" said the happy-go- lucky
Willie IN the dressing room. 'I
had the ball all the way. There
was nothing too hard about it. I've
made better catches. But what
about my hitting? l wasn't any
help up there at the plate"
Over in the corner, Johnny An
tonelli, the Giants pitching NOM
inee today, was in deep conference
with starting pitcher Sal Mag.ie.
"Just a regular game for us"
shrugged Johnny. eve won the
pennant with finishes like this all
season long"
He was referring, of course, 10
Dusty Rhodes 10th inning. two-on-
base home run.
"Wel, Johnny" laughed the
usually dour Maglie, "uS old gaf-
fers won the first one, so now it's
up to you to get No. q"
Then the Barber, who left the
game just before Mays made his
great catch, told neWsmen:
II didn't tire so much. It was
just that l didn't have real sharp
control of my curve ball. l couldn't
hit the outside corner against the
lefthanderS. That's what got me
in trouble.
"And that Wertx. The way he
hitting today you couldn't get him
out. l guess we don't know him
as well as some of the other Cleve-
land hitters."
Maglie probably will be ready
to start again Sunday or Monday,
although manager Leo Durocher
wouldn't say just when.
DurOcher added he wasn't 50
sure now that he'd start Rueben
Gomez In tom0rrow'S third game
in Cleveland. Don Liddle might
get the call.
Leo was all talk, though, about
Rhodes game-winning home run.
He was my big guy in a jam
and that's what he's going to be
for the rest of the SERIES" en-

Dusty a nice ovation, and the next
thing anyone knew that lazy little
fly was being boosted along by
the wind toward it's destiny.
The ironic part of it was that the
same wind, blowing with some
velocity across the field from left
to right, almost surely robbed Jim
Hogan, Cleveland's catcher, of a
bases-loaded home run off Grissom
in the eighth inning, and also blew
one back off AL Dark's bat that
would have given the Giants q 81
win after two were down in the
ninth. Both knocks clearly were
headed for the seats when they
set out.
From the very start It was evi-
dent that Magle was short on con-
troll, even though the veteran had
warmed up for close to 20 min
utes. His first three pitches to the
Indians leadoff batter, AL Smith,
were not even close, and the fourth
one plunked Smith.
Bobby Avila, the American
Leagues leading hitter, followed
with looping single into short
right which Don Mueller kicked
around, permitting Smith to race
to third. However, Sal settled and
got Larry Dolby and AL Rosen or
popupS, and that brought up Vic
Wertz, the Tribe first-baseman
whom even the Baltimore Orioles
refused to continue feeding early
in the season.
Well, sir, Vic changed one of
the right centerfield wall that
would be going yet if it hadn't
met wood. BY the time it came
back he was perched on third and
two runs were across-the only
runs the Indians were destined to
get, despite the fact that Wertz
SlaShed double and two singles
and nearly chased Mays out of the
park on his next four tries.

Wasn't Great In Dressing Room

thused Durocher. "Dusty did just
what I've come 10 expect him to
do. Bring him up in an important
place and bang-yOu're back in the
clubhouse"
Said Rhodes:
"The biggest hit of my life"
Over in the Indian dressing
room, Wertz, who had four hits
but had his big one caught, sat
sadly before his locker.
THAT was the hardest bah
hit all year." he said.
Manager AL Lopez went even
further.
"It looked to me like the longest
ball our club has hit all year.
There wouldn't have been a tenth
inning if Mays hadn't caught It.
"Well," he sighed, 1--WE were
beaten by the longest out and the
shortest homer of the year"
Rhodes homer certainly was
short. 1t arched just about 270 feet
down the right field foul line.
Losing pitcher Bob Lemon, the
victim of Rhodes blast" was un-
happy even thinking about it.
Il was worried all through the
game that something like that
would happen" he said. "If they
had to beat me with a homer, I
wish AL Dark's hit had gone into

Welcome Addition

\ hAKING it's organizatonal debut Satur-
w day next, February TO- will be the
1st Annual Chicago, Illinois, Progress"
Lodge 749 Tenpin Bowling Sweepstakes.
Reports reaching our desk have it that
the host Lodge members will meet with
success in their first venture into this
sports realm, all of which will be to the
credit of the Society.
Everything possible has been done from
the Supreme Office end of the line to help
Progress put the February 20 undertake
ing over the proverbial top. Nothing short
of complete cooperation has been in effect
between Pittsburgh and Chicago since the
Zajednicar first clarioned, weeks ago, that
Lodge 749 would sponsor the event.
In that spirit of cooperation, the Execu-
tive Board has delegated Supreme Secre-
tary bro. Joseph Bella to attend the Sweep
stakes in an official capacity and represent
the Croatian Fraternal Union and it's men,
bership on the occasion.
Bro. Bella's selection to represent the
Supreme Office is proof in itself that the
Croatian Fraternal Union is interested in
the outcome of the Lodge 749 classic; that
in doing as much, the Executive Board ex-
pressed confidence in the ability of PRO
gress' to make the event an annual fixture
in the Societys firmanent
All that remains now is for our members
in and around Chicago to support this well
come addition to the Society's cycle of ac-
tivities. Those who do not bowl can still do
their bit by watching the keglers in action
at the Gage Park Recreation Alleys, 5643
South Western Avenue, and, later, attend
ing the Lodges Sweepstakes Dance at
Flynn Hall, 1886 West 63rd Street.
AS for us, the members of Progress
Lodge 749 have our very best wishes for
unconditional success on Saturday, Febru-
ary 20. They have worked long and hard
and richly deserve to succeed

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY II, 1854
Brotherhood

\ MERICA will begin its annual obser-
vance on Sunday, February Il, OF
brotherhood Week. sponsored by the Ma
tional Conference of Christians and Jews
From February q through February
2S Americans will again come face to lace
with the unpleasant fact that there is en-
tirelv too much hatred between races,
creeds. and colors, not to mention inside
the groups themselves. Sad, but true.
We all agree that mankind should es-
tablish, once and for ALL moral ana psy-
GEOLOGICAL basis for world peace but we
continue to blithely ignore the fact that
such a condition does not yet exist even
here at home, Lere in a land Divine Prov-
dencc blessed in countless ways
There must be a profound change IN
human attitudes if We, as Americans, are
to really succeed in establishing just and
durable peace The pure and simple truth
is that we cannot afford the luxury OF prl-
vate or open indulgence in hatred, preJu-
dice and contempt for other human beings
who do not measure up to our standards.
What we need, what the world needs, is
the old-fashoned will to get along, the
fearessness to lay aside our comfortable
old prejudices and act like human beings,
like brothers, regardless of our ancestry,
nationality or background.
Let us face the fact that we Americans
cannot help this troubled world unless we
are first willing to be tolerant enough to let
others live by their lights, and rights, as
we try to live by ours. Let us not tell others
what they should do before we put our own
house in order.
When we do wrong, and know it, there
is real hope for us. We can always repent
and mend our ways, always atone TOR our
national sins and transgresslons.
It's the wrong things to which we have
BECOME accustomed that prompted Arls-
totle centuries ago to point out that no man
desires evil in itself. No man? Yet we see
an awful lot of evil around us wherever we
go. The other fellows evil, of course!
Said the late Booker T. Washington,
great American: = mo man shall drag
me down by making me hate him
If every American would feel the same,
and conduct himself accordingly, this Coun-
trv could observe brotherhood Week
every week of the year and not for mere
seven of it's allotted 365 days.

An Old Story

COME of our so-called "Old Timers har-
- Dor the feeling that the Societys young
er members don't give a hoot about the
Croatian Fratcrnal Union and care even
less what may befall it in the future.
In short, our younger men and women
are held up by these "Magi' in our frater-
nal midst as representing so many prob
lem children not worthy Of second thought.
Alarming? Hardly We heard the same
old story making the rounds against the
Socictys younger element of twenty-five
years ago and have lived to see many of
those SO scorned rise to positions of promi-
nencc in the ranks of the organization.
The alarmists of that era predicted that
the Croatian Fraternal Union would 60 to
pot once the younger men and women were
elevated to office, either on a local Lodge
or national Administrative level. The fact
that the Society is greater today than ever
before merely accentuates just how wrong,
dead wrong those alarmists were
Frankly, we're not losing any sleep over
our problem children of 1854, for we, and
many like us, were in the same boat a
quarter VI CCllIuly dSO anu SOIlleIOW VI
other managed to wise up" in time just
as our younger members of today will if
left to their fraternal selves.
Since all of us must depart this vale of
tears sooner or later, it stands to reason
that the Croatian Fraternal Union of to-
morrow will find itself in new hands, strong
er hands, managed by leaders far smarter
than we were cut out to be.
Fear not the Societys youth Of today.
They'll do alright in time and be success
full lot long after we are gone from a scene
we have loved with all our heart for 10,
these many years.

Why The Fuss?

\h/H1 all the fuss because holders OF
w matured certificates must pay the
Society % cents monthly if they would
maintain their membership rights in the
Croatian Fraterna Union and be entitled
to the benefits such rare privilege entails?
Surely no intelligent person holding
matured certificate can argue that ne is
entitled to such rights and benefits unless
he paws the Croatian Fraternal Union the
% cents it has found necessary to levy on
monthly basis for purposes of keeping
it's Administrative Expense Fund on
sound business level.
Members holding matured certificates
are not in a privileged class. They are no
better than a member insured on whole life
protection. There is absolutely no difference
between them. Both are equal in the eyes
Of the Society they joined
Neither can enjoy such membership
rights as to hold Lodge Office, run for
Convention Delegate, or partakc of varied
benefits unless he helps maintain the Adj
ministrative Expense Fund.
Pray, what organization similar to the
Crcatan Fraternal Union permits it's men,
bers to enjoy everything under its jurisdic-
ton without paying for the privilege?
Better yet, what organization gives its
matured certificate holders as many rights,
benefits and privileges, as the Croatian
Fratcrnal Union guarantees its such men,
bers for the paltry monthly charge of %
cents? Not one to our knowledge.
The ruling handed down in this matter
in September of 1858 by the Socety's Su-
preme Board is just. 1t is an equitable rul-
ing; rule the great maj jority Of our fellow
members will agree with.
No one gives away anything for nothing.
No one is in that enviable position But the
Croatian Fraternal Union does give more
for your money than do many organiza-
tons in the field. That's a matter of fact
of record Not talk
If it didn't treat all alike, your Society
would never have reached the state Of emil
nence it enjoys today.

If there was any real
money in producing this
material, teachers would
have provided it a long time

Youthful Tamburitza Ensemble Can't
Be Adequately Taught Under Pressure
Sponsoring Groups Demanding Too Much
From Young And inexperienced Players
BY Matt L. Gouze, Member, Lodge 234

This has been the case so
many times, and you hear
it from teachers so often it
sounds like hearing the
same old broken record.
Went Too Far Too Fast
We once took over an
ensemble that was trained
for approximately two
years. The instructor, when
passing it over to us, said
he had gone as far as he
could.
AS a matter Of fact he
went too far too fast. He
had crammed in five years
of music into two. None of
it was learned properly, no
fundamentals were taught.
There was no order at all.
The group buzzed along
like they were in sort of a
daze.
Then it took us a year
to undo even the basic
faults, let alone teach any
thing. The second part
players never knew what a
lead sounded like and there
were many other impossi-
BILE situations.
We honestly believe that
after the entire field has
been pulverized with this
method, and met with
stark failure, there is still
time to salvage this situ-
alton.
Role Society Can Play
1t is said teachers will
not teach any more. That
is not so. They will if they
are allowed to train stu
dents properly.
1t is said lodges and
clubs will not sponsor
groups. They will if they
can be shown the right
m e t h O d S of sponsorship
and how final and lasting
results can be obtained.
1t is said students are not
interested. They are, but
they want to keep this in
terest and not lose it after
a few lessons.
Bro. Stanovich suggests
that the CFU could help.
Yes, the CFU could show
the way. For instance, the
CFU could sponsor the pub
fishing of a booklet of how
to organize a group prop
erly.
1t could provide instru-
ments on a six months or
years loan basis to help
groups start. 1t could sub

Must Come From Heart

And so always is the
unanimous testimony of
those who have been under
fire and near death - the
Brotherhood of Man then
becomes real and unques-
toned. There are no cha
SINS of disagreement then.
Must man always stare
into the black gloom of
death to find the common
denominator Of Brother
hood?
The answer to that ques-
ton is the reason we Amer
leans will join February 81
% with the National Con-
ference Of Christians and
Jews in marking Brother
hood Week, and that an
sWcr must come from our
hearts.
