Priest, Former
Wrestler, Repels
knitting attempt

RIDGEWAY, Ont. - (NC) -
Robert A. Rosenberger picked
on the wrong man when he tried
to run down Msgr. Franklin M.
kclliher, So, with his automo-
bile and then attack the priest
WITH a butcher knife.
After Rosenberger was treat
ed at a hospital for a broken
jaw, he surrendered to police
ana was charged with attemp-
ted murder. Msgr. Kelliher, a
250-pounder, is director of the
Working Boys Home in Buffa-
10, NY, a former wrestler and
widely known for his work in
fighting juvenile delinquency.
He has a summer home near
Rosenberger's here. He said
that he did not know Rosenber-
ger, but the man telephoned
him four times on July 4 and
used "vile and obscene lang
uage."
The Monsignor said he made
arrangements to meet Rosenber-
ger and talk things over. At the
meeting place, police said, Ros-
enberger first tried to run
down the priest with his auto,
then attacked him with a butch
or knife. Rosenberger's trip to
the hospital followed a brief
fist-fIght with the priest.

Yogi Says:
Demand Great
For C1tchers

ST. LOUIS - MC) - Advice
to parents whose sons are bent
on big league baseball careers
Make catchers out of them.
The counsel comes from a man
who should know - Lawrence M.
Berra, now 80 and a former res
ident of this city. In case the
proper name confounds, he's
more Familiarity known as Yogi
Berra and he's been the regular
catcher of the perennial champi-
on New York Yankees for the
last 10 years.
There is q big demand for
good eafchers now." Berrs
said. He added that youngsters
have . better chance now to
make the grade rs eafchers
than at any other position. He
said he couldn't figure out why
youngsters don't give more
consideration to the catching
position.
Berra won the American
League most valuable player
award three times, in 1851, 1854
and 1855. Only other three-time
winners in the American League
have been Jimmy Foxx and Joe
DiMaggio. The Yankee backstop
commented: "That's the high
point-being named the Leagues
most valuable player"
Berra played his first baseball
or the sandlots not far from st.
Ambrose parish school in the
Italian district of st. Louis. After
he finished st. Ambrose school,
he continued baseball with Amer
lean Legion teams In this area.
Then a Yankee scout spotted
him. He wet up to the big time
as an outfielder but was convert
ed into q catcher.

Each Of these teams has
taken q turn ut looking back
at the rest of the circuit
around the half way mark Of
the season. However. The reign
Of every one Of fhe teams has
always been short-lived.
The lead changes hands 50
rapidly that many fans jokingly
ask the question Il wonder who'll
be in first place tomorrow" The
ball clubs seem to be playing
a sort of musical chairs" game,
The odd part OF the hot pen
nant chase is that the team in
first place usually plays under
par so that 1t slips among the
also-rans until it can get back
its winning ways to retake top
spot.
Al the beginning Of ths sea
son, Brooklyn and Milwaukee
were tabled the ~fsvorites. Gin
cinnafi was picked by many
fans while ST. Louis was termed
q hot dark horse" Philadel-
phia wasn't given q thought.
Brooklyn has dominated the
National League in the past 1C
years and basically has the same
strong nucleus which has brought
the flag to Ebbetts field SO often
However, the "old pros" are
just that - getting old. Yet,
they're dangerous. If they are
hitting, the Buns are hard to
stop. But in club batting, the
Dodgers stand only fifth. Their
pitching has been stellar at times
-erratic on other occasions.
At the beginning of the sea
son, Milwaukee was termed a
