District Mines
Find Northern
Rivals Tough

College baseball teams in the
Washington area are supposed
to have an edge over visiting
mines from the North. If only
because the weather here gener-
ally gives District teams a bit
more time for early season prac-
tice.
1t isn't working out quite that
way this spring. The North
erners, some of whom haven't
seen grass until they reach this
area, are doing better than all
right.
Three victories were scored by
Northern mines here yesterday,
and altogether this week they've
won nine games and lost only
three In aud around Washington.

Despite the snow on their

Northern schools the Tigers have
an indoor batting cage and
pitching area, and pitching won
yesterdays game. Bob Fillman
OF Dartmouth was in trouble
early in the game with George
town loading the bases in the
first and third innings. But he
pitched hitless ball after the
fourth inning and altogether
allowed the Hoyas only six hits.
Hard-Hitting Crimson
Harvard got plenty of hitting
against CIV, including a pinch
hit home run in the ninth that
spanked a f1ve-run uprising,
breaking a TT tie. Altogether
Harvard got Is hits for its IL
runs. while CIV had two homers
among its nine hits. Joe Rosania
and Gino D'Ambrosio homered
for CIV. just as they did earlier

I sat up alone most of the
night, jittery and q little fright

derful guy sat down beside me. It
was Howard Wakefield, an expert
enced catcher who had played
for Washington and Cleveland in
the big leagues. He was cheerful
and friendly, and we hit it oa
good. He talked to me about
baseball until almost dawn. He
Gained my fears and told me not
to get discouraged. no matter
what happened.
It's impossible to say how
much good he did me in those
few hours. When I finally got
to sleep. I wasn't scared any
more (Howard, incidentally.
was the father of the celebrated
Dick Wakefield. the bonus
baby" who was such a sensation
with the Detroit Tigers in the
early 1940s and then sadly Pc
tered out, never living up to his
great promise.)
Next day was the big opening
Of the United States League, at
Gunther Field in Chicago. Cleve-

Cincinnati were in the western
division of the league. In the
east were Washington. Rich
mond. the Bronx and Reading,
Pa. The league. like the Federal
League a few years later, was
trying to form what amounted
to a third major league. The
major league bigwigs called 1t
an outlaw league.
Fans IL In Five Innings
A pitcher named Charles Moy-
er. formerly of the Washington
Senators. started the game for
us. In the third inning. Meyer
looked a bit shaky. In the fifth,
Chicago started a fuss and be-
fore we knew It they'd scored a
bunch of runs and had the bases
full and none out. O'Connor
waved me in to relieve Meyer.
It was no easy spot for any
body. not to mention a rookie.
and my hand shook when I took
the ball from Meyer. But I
gritted my teeth and pitched.
I struck out the next three
batters on nine pitches. The big
crowd sort of gasped. In the
sixth inning / struck out the
side again. and I wound up with
II strikeouts in five innings. In
the eighth we slammed across
10 big runs to take back the lead
and put the game on ice.
Tom Murphy, owner of the
Cleveland club. was so elated
that at a victory party that
evening. he presented me with
his own beautiful gold watch and

lapsed wall in complete exposure
to Arab legionnaires.
Walking through these parts of
the city, you're tense yourself for
this exposure to an armed hostil-
ity isn't quite routine = in this
street gun fire tore through a
crowd of people last week - in
that street two mortar shells ten
days ago blocked traffic and took
lives. You actually feel a relaxa-
ton when you leave. But many of
these people live and sleep there
and they get no promises of safe
existence or social security COM
pensation = they merely live and
hope to keep on doing that. But
they've got tremendous faith in
the righteousness of their own
cause and, even more optimism to
match it.
It's a wonder how a peace low
ing U. S can give munitions and
arms TO peoples as bluntlY hostile
and OVERLY unnindful attempts at
mitigation - the logic of power
politics fails to convince in this
setting.
AS Naval Reserve Officer now,
I had to check in with the Ameri-
can Embassy at Tel Aviv - spent
an interesting half hour talking
with the Air Attache there, ex-
planning to me U. S. reasons for
courses of action. Revealing, but
things could never in sincerity
repeat to Israelis - it may be our
interests but it's their lives.
Sincerely,
