Baseball Pictures Of The Year
by LESLIE LIEDER

he pictures on this page are
probably the most surprising
shots taken on a sports field
this year. They were made by
photographer Hy PeSkin, the
man who settled the curve-ball
controversy a few years ago
cat Last . Proof That Base
balls Do Curver THIS WEEK,
July 20, 1882.
For a long time Peskin has
noticed a peculiar thing about
his closeup photos of batters:
despite all the time-honored
advice hollered from the stands
to keep your eye on the ball.
batters weren't even remotely
cycling the ball at the moment
of impact.
Without telling anyone what
his suspicious we're. Peskin set
up his camera inside the bat
tiers cage during pre-game
practice at Ebbets Field in
Brooklyn, Boston's Fenway
Park and CroSley Field in
Cincinnati. In addition to reg
ulation cameras, he clicked
away with a Polaroid instant
development model so he could
get players reactions on the
spot. They couldn't believe
what they saw.

Detroit Croatian Home Members Agree
To Shell Out" For July Undertaking
Material, Money, Food, Entertainment
Will Be provided By Magnanimous Folks

DETROIT - At the last
meeting Of the National Gro
attain Home Corporation in
Detroit, the Executive Board
placed a worthwhile sugges-
tion before the membership
which was to the effect that
a Moonlight Picnic be held on
July 13 for the benefit of the
building fund of the Croatian
Home.
Upon a motion made, Sec
onded and unanimously car
ried, the membership decided
that all the material, money,
food, entertainment, ETC., for
the picnic be donated by the
membership and friends.
This motion was SO
Fundamentally acc e p t d
that contributions were
made at the meeting in the
amount of $155.OO in cash,
plus pledges for beer, lamb,
and other necessary items
for the successful picnic.
1t is not our, intention at
this time, nor does the ~"
have the space to list here all
the donors, but we do feel it
necessary to mention that our
Balkan Cavaliers promised to
play on that occasion for
nothing, donating their servi-
ces.
We feel that in this man.
ner - through voluntary con-
tributions we could raise
between three and four thou
sand dollars for the Fund.
At this same meeting a pro-
visional committee of five
persons was elected, whose
duty it shall be to contact all
of our members, as well as
our businessmen, for contri-
buttons and donations toward
the Picnic and the Building
Fund.
The elected members of
this committee are: Mrs.
Mary Toplovich, Ivan Ri
mac, Mike Domitrovich,
Mike Markovich and Ivan
YankOvich. The meeting of
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1957-05-29

the Corporation gave this
committee full power to
represent it in asking for
donations.
Brothers and Sisters! For
many years our corporation
that is, our Lodge "Zora" No.
351 - has been working to-
ward the aim of building a
larger Home.
The constant insurge of
new members in our Lodge
and the absolute need for
larger quarters for member
ship meetings and affairs, be.
speaks the necessity for such
a Home as well as do the
needs of our national institu-
| tions, such as school, church
es and home.
So if any of you are con.
tacted by the above named in.
dividuals for this purpose.
please be assured that what
ever you give is given for a
good and worthy cause.

any questions they may have
pertaining to their work as
officers.
Not Too Late To Start
Records at the Home Office
show that this particular area
of the United States is not
taking an overly active part
in the Sociey's 1857 Member
ship Campaign.
There may be the best of
reasons for this silence" in
that territory.
But this does not mean
that there are no prospects
for membership in Utah,
for it is difficult to locate
a spot on the map where
our people, or other eligible
Slavs, do not reside.
Perhaps bro. Oycarich's
pep talk" in Midvale Thurs
day evening, June s, will
arouse the recruiting spirit
in those who hear his words
and send them afield in quest
of new members in the two
remaining months of the
Campaign, June and July.

to be reckoned with in second
place with his imposing total
of 269 Points.
Things Moving Slowly
While bro. Babich's epic
work in recent weeks has
been heartwarming to the
Society's Campaign Commit
tee, the progress of the drive
itself has been anything
but"
After almost five full
months Of campaigning, the
CrOatian Fraternal Union
can show only 2,O68 new
adult and juvenile members
since the opening of the
drive last January.
Nor is the $2,041, 500 in
new and increased senior and
junior insurance written to
date anything to write home
about in these booming times.
All of which should be up
the proverbial alley of those
who insist that the only solu-
ton to the Croatian Frater-
nal Unions recruiting prob
lens are paid Field Men.
Nine VictOrs To Date
On the brighter side of the
picture, four Americans and
five Canadians are now quail
fled for the Grand Prize
Award of an expense-paid
August vacation in Canada.
! Three hail from Pennsyl-
vania, Ivan Babich, Aliquippa,
John r. Mikan, East Roches-
ter, and Matt Zoretich, Mon
essen.
The fourth is krstO Bo-
zulich, San Pedro, Califor-
mia, who is one of the So
ciety's mos t dependable
Campaign Field Workers in
the Far Western tier of
States.
The five Canadian victors
to date are Philip Zebich, Ha-
milton, Ont, Marko Banjav-
cic, Toronto, Ont, Janko Jele-
mic, Sudbury, Ont, Michael
Holovanic, Sudbury, Ont, and
Josip Sunic, Montreal, Que.
Basis of qualification: -
Americans, 25O Points, tour
starts from Pittsburgh; Can
adams, 200 Points, tour
begins at Toronto proper.
Clarifying The Rules
Perhaps a few more words
will further clarity the quail
ification rules.
American recruiters do not
need to amass $50 points if
they are willing to make their
own way to Toronto and be-
gin the tour from there in
August. They can start from
that point for 200 Points.
The 25O Points are re-
q,lired of those who wish
to begin the trip at Pitts
burgh, proceed from there
to Toronto, and from that
city to Montreal, Quebec
City and other stops on the
escorted tour.
Quite a number of USA
Field Workers already own
200 Points and may choose
to make the trip under this
ruling any time they are in
clined to do so.
But Two Months To Go
With but two months of
the drive remaining at this
writing, the Campaign Com
mittee at the Home Office
will now get into contact with
all who have 100 or more
Points to their credit.
Letters will be mailed
asking whether the recipi-
ent is interested in making
the August trip to Canada
