the brighter prospects among
the Senator'S minor leaguers.
The Yankees bombed the
Senators, 90, yesterday in New
York. accommodating II hits in
dealing Russ Kemmerer his
18th loss. They pounded Russ
for nine Of those hits before
chasing him with none out in
the third. They got six more
of Hal Griggs in the eighth
inning.
Between those two clobber-
ings, the Senators received ex-
cellent relief pitching from
Hal WoodeShick. He permit
ted only two hits in five in
nings. but the Senators were
getting nowhere against Art
Ditmar.
Ditmar, who BANKED the
Senators on two hits in his last
effort against them. restricted
them to four hits this time. He
didn't allow a hit until two
were out in the seventh. At
that point Roy Sievers slugged
his 18th homer. Clint Court
ney smashed his second homer
batting for Ron Sanford in the
eighth to account for the Sen
ator's other run.
The Yankees roughed up
Kemmerer for four straight
hits in the second inning to
produce two runs. They
thumped him for three more
hits in the third and these,
coupled with errors by Sievers
and Reno Bertoia. produced
three runs and a SO lead.
Griggs was slapped around
for four runs in the ninth after
Tony Kubek and Mary Throne

General Manager Frank Lane
Of the Tribe, trying to remove q
vengeance motive for the Chi
cagoans. yesterday gave the
White Sox a pat on the back, in
a lefthanded sort Of way.
Lane denied he had said that
the White Sox would be "the
lousiest team ever to win a
pennant," a statement which
received widespread publication
after the last series.
If I said that, how would
that make my team look?"
Lane asked. II suppose then
you'd have to say that the In
dams are even lousier than the
White Sox.
What ! said was that II the
White Sox win they would be
the weakest hitting team ever
to play in a World Series"

Now Spotty;

Perhaps it's due TO the long
hot spell. perhaps TO the strong
winds that swept Chesapeake
Bay this week. but the fact re-
mains. the fishing outlook is
not too good.
That's bad news. particularly
when things seemed to be pick

spotty. but ocean fishing is only

FAIRFAX FACES TOUGH SHEDDING
AnnondoIe Looking
Toward Banner Year
BY DICK SLAY
star stan Writer

There is no apparent reason
to predict another pleasant
football season at Fairfax High
School this fall. The Rebels
will be fortunate II they avoid
their first losing record since
1855.
Fairfax was a two-way ball
club last year except at three
positions in the line. The boys
moving UP from the reserves
this fall saw very little action.
Also. James Madison High
opened in nearby Vienna and
took away many Of last years
promising junior varsity play
ers.
I'VE never were deep here"
Coach Jim Moeller admits, but
we're treading real shallow
water this time"
Backiield Poses Problem
The backheld presents the
largest problem. Last years
foursome of Bob Boxley, Bubby
Talbot, Larry Crosby and Doug
Hinkel played both ways all
the way" Moeller reminds.
Their requirements this season
will be very small as well as
inexperienced.
Duane Conques has been
shifted from fullback to left
halfback. Only 155 pounds,
Conques played mostly at de-
fensive wing in 1858. Dickie
Titus. another 155-pounder, has
been moved from end to right
half. vying with a new caudi-
date named Jack Mulligan.
Doug Davis. about 5-foot-7
and $50. has the edge at quar-
terback over Donald Olsen, who
was a team manager two years |
ago. Jimmy Hall. who was a
sophomore tackle at Wakefield |
last year. is trying out for full
back at his new school but at |
the moment he's playing be-
hind 150-pound Eddie Stephen
son, a third stringer in 1858.
Line Situation Brighter
The line situation is brighter. |
Tackles Marty Stanton and
John Crosby, 1856 and 1870, re-
spectively, return to their first
string jobs. Walt Holloway was
the offensive center last fall
and End Bill Olsen was q line
hacker.
John Rowley. 1876 pounds and
another tackle. is being used to |
plug a guard vacancy. Danny
Holloway. Waits brother, will
see action at the other guard
post this season, and Tom APP
pier has graduated from the
jayvee into the uther end po-
sition.
up front we're respectable |
in size and what experience we |
have is there" Moellcr says in |
his lone optimistic statement.

Bill Barefield and Drinkard,
all of whom were outstanding
last year.
Drinkard's passing has i'm

should be the Atoms top threat
In the backfield this year.
Barefield has been the most
pleasant surprise for Henry.
Bill weighed only 145 pounds
last year but played a lot of
football. This season. he tips
the scales at 165 and could turn
out to be one of the top line
men in the league.
Divided in 3 Parts
Henry has divided his squad
into three teams, the Guns.
Bandits and Renegades. The
Guns will play offense. the
Bandits, defense and Renegades
will act as go-betweens.
In the line, Haycock will be
replaced by Boyd Davis and
Strobe Brent. who played be-
hind him last season. Phil
Tucker, Russell Snyder and
Barefield are back at the
guards, with Sam Strickland
and Chuck Joiner up from the
jayvees.
Returnees Wayne Davis. Bob
Henry, Ed Dickinson and John
Checkovich and newcomer
Martin Stone give the Atoms
depth at tackle. Davis and
Dickinson are slated for de-

Expanding Labor Needs

IL has become evident in recent
years that the accelerating pace of
mechanization and automation in Amer
lean industry is requiring better edu-
Gated and more highly trained labor
force. In the opinion of the Presidents
Committee on Government Contracts.
concerned with breaking down racial
barriers in hiring, the requirement must
be met in large part during the next
decade from the enlarging Negro popu-
lation.
employers who will still be looking
for male, white, under age As, workers
will be in trouble" the committee said
In its sixth annual report These
Sought-for types of workers simply will
not be available in the numbers re-
quired"
Statistically, the committees case is
persuasive one. The labor need poses a
challenge to educators, vocational guild
ance counSelors and to employers. To
the Negro population in particular, it
presents both challenge and an oppor-
tunity.

Get On With 1t!

There is an understandable faScina-
ton about the 150-year-old dream of
linking France and England by tunnel
under the vixeniSh English Channel.
For all those years, and more, this mar
row strip Of water has def1ed tanning,
slowed commerce between the two
countries and plagued travellers sub
ject to NAL de mer. Napoleon thought
seriously of such tunnel, as an in
vaSion route to the tight little island"
Queen Victoria considered it, as means
of avoiding Seasickness.
Now British French study group
headed by an Irishman, Sir Ivone
Kirkpatrick-iS reported ready to rec
ommend that the project be under
taken. The Kirkpatrick recommended
tionS favor rail tunnel, not highway,
which would accommodate 100 trains
daily each way in high-Speed service
between Calais and Folkestone-a dis
tance of approximately 30 miles. Cost
is estimated at about $500 million and
construction time at about six years.
The International Suez Canal Company,
comfortably supplied with funds but
lacking a canal since the Egyptian
waterway was nationalized, is reported
to be, one of the principal hackers of
the project. Both practically and ro-
mantically, it sounds like an attractive
venture in international togethernesS.

the Capital of Democracy an
elephantine boost; Presidents
never are selected by the
unmanipulated free choice of
voters, even outside our Ma
tons un-American Capital.
Once, when our Nation was
less sophisticated. the people
could win a small degree Of
self-determination by open
ing up a window, and letting
a little fresh air into the
smoke filled room. This time
they are going to have to put
the dog out.
Thomas E. Mattingly, M. d.
