THE BASEBALL
BEA 7
BY BURTON HAWKINS

CAMP GORDON, Ga, April S.
Birdie Tebbetts, Cincinnati
manager, was saying. Washing
ton might have a better club
than everybody thinks. It's a
young team, pliable, and Chuck
tDressenD might be able to get
them to play the aggressive run
ming game that he likes.
II guarantee Camilo Pascual
and Pedro Ramos will win some
games and so will that fellow
(Hal Griggs) who pitched
against us at Savannah. I saw
Pascual and Ramos pitch in
Cuba and they look like pretty
doggoned good boys to me.
When I was with the Red
Sox I know they considered Karl
Olson a sizzling prospect. He
looks a lot heavier now than
he was then, but if ne gets back
on the beam the Senators will
have something.
Bob Wiesler can beat any,
body if he gets the ball over the
plate. I'd think it would be an
interesting team to watch. It's
loaded with youngsters and if
some of them develop as they
should, the Senators aren't going
to be pushovers."

manager of the New York YAM
KEGS. would like to trade for an
other pitcher.
He refused yesterday to iden-
fifty the players in whom he's
interested, but he made no
heated denials when asked if the
hist included Bill Wight and Jim
Wilson of the Baltimore Orioles
and Ned Carver of the Detroit
Tigers.
The Yankees are known to be
interested in all three and will
ing to offer second baseman,
an outflelder and a pitcher in
exchange for any one of them.
The Tigers have expressed in
terest in Jerry Coleman, veteran
Yankee infielder.
You can never be satisfied
with pitching staff. even one
as good as ours" Weiss said,
Its possible we'll make a trade
for another pitcher"
Weiss reiterated his belief that
the Boston Red Sox will provide
the toughest competition for the
American League Champions in
the 1856 race.
II don't know whether they
can make it this year" he added.
Their young players look very
good. Fortunately, we have
enough good kids TO keep up
with them"

way companies from America, and shipping companies
from Europe, set up their agencies all over the country.
They promised to pay the travelling expenses of prospec-
tive immigrants in exchange for a contract on assigned
work in a mine or factory.
Direct railroad connections between Vienna and the
Atlantic ports of Hamburg, Bremen, Antwerpen and LIE
Havre assisted them greatly. These ports played a very
important part being the centers from which those immi-
grant transport companies operated.
Of 367, 239 Croatian and Slovenian immigrants up to
1910 a mere 27O pretended to have a profession and II, COL
declared themselves skilled workers. What i S more,

1T so HAPPENS that the father OF

the English Editor is still living.
An immigrant to the United States, he
never found time to go to school in Amer
lea. He received his education, as did thou
sands like him, in the mills and factories.
But he saw to it that his three sons became
educated men.
Yet he never was a miserable, chinless
half-wit. Nor could any man say that he
went through life ignorant, incompetent
and immature. Nor that he had barely
enough mechanical skill to tie his own
shoes and had to be treated like a dear
retarded child by his wife and children.
He was = and is = just the opposite.
What he accomplished in life was for the
good of his family. He sought nothing in
return save the love of his loved ones.
We think he's the finest father in the
world. To us, he's a mans man, someone to
look up to and always believe in.
Happy Fathers Day, Dad.

4S Days To Go


T he Croatian Fraternal Union of America
i has twice conducted Membership Cam
paigns which called for a Grand Prize
Award of a visit to Yugoslavia.
Its first such venture took place in 1916
and was crowned with great success. In
fact, that drive of a decade ago resulted
in the signing of 6,297 new adult and juve-
nile members and the writing of $5,195, 700
IN new and increased insurance.
Ten Field Workers in all qualified that
year for the Grand Prize Award of an ex-
pense-paid visit to Yugoslavia, but inter-
national tensions prevented them from
making the coveted trip.
THE SOCIETY is now nearing the end
Of its second Membership Campaign calling
for a Grand Prize Award of an expense
paid visit to lugoslavia in August of 1856.
To say that this drive, which opened
January l last and will close July 81 next,
has not been a success would not be true.
No one can dismiss the nearly $500 new
members signed and So $50, 900 insurance
written to date as representing a pair of
insignificant accomplishments.
Other organizations would gladly settle
for such recruiting figures as these and
proclaim to the world that they are grow
ing and prospecting day in and day out.
ONLY 4S DAYS now remain before the
Society's 1856 Campaign closes shop.
Perhaps the 1916 Campaign records of
6,297 new members and s., 1875, 700 in insur-
ance will still remain unscathed when this
years recruiting drive comes to it's official
end on July 81.
Frankly, we do not believe those records
set a decade ago will fall. They appear as
safe as anything can be with less than Z
weeks remaining in this years Campaign
and time running out on those currently
laboring afield.
But there can be nothing wrong with
any Campaign which is relegated to his
tory as representing the second most pro-
ductive such undertaking since 1916.
There is still time to make the 1856
Campaign such a matter of record.
