Chatter
BY Edno Donohae

This column is written for the
activities and news of Camp Fire
Girls in the Rockville area. 1
wish to thank this paper for Civ
ing this space to the area groups
which number about 80 in all,
each comprising a leader, one or
two assistant leaders, two or
more sponsors and an average of
eight to II girls.
The Camp Fire Organization is
nearly so years old and has done
many wonderful. things for our
girls of today. Its character
building influence emphasizes cit
izenship, community service, and
leadership.
The first step in Camp Fire is
the Blue Birds. Groups are
formed in the second grade and
learn arts and crafts, have social
meetings and are taken on trips.
Time has way of passing and
at the end of the fourth grade
our little Blue Birds and their
leader are getting ready to fly
up as Camp Fire Girls. The cere-
mony is very impressive and the
fathers are very proud as they
pin the insignia of the Camp Fire
Girls on their daughters. The
girls then proceed to the various
ranks and honors of Camp Fire,
each to be earned by a deed or
experience broadening their
knowledge and enriching their
lives, helping little to make
them better citizens of their COM
munity and country. 1 am lead

From PriVofe Dicks

Philadelphia (ANP) 49, Garnet
Sugar" Hart, who claims to have
received damages at the hands of
two private detectives of the An
derson Detective Agency, has filed
a 100000 damage suit against the
agency.
The counsel for Dick Anderson
who wishes to remain unnamed,
said that he will base his argu-
ments on conflicting" statements
made by Harris attorney.
The counsel stated that Attorney
Harry Rubin said that his client,
Hart, recently told a Municipal
Court judge that he could not
make support payment because
he was hurt in training and had
to cancel a fight he had scheduled
for Madison Square Garden in
February.
Counsel then pointed to a state
ment made in the suit against An
derson in which Rubin stated: "As
a result of aforesaid assault and
battery, plaintiff was obliged to
cancel two fights for February and
may be prevented from following
his occupation of a professional
boxer to his great financial loss
and damage"

NBA Coaches
Loud LokerS'
EIoin BoVIor

Minneapolis (ANP)-"He's just
remarkable" said John Kundla. II
can't tell whether he's learning
things as he goes along or whether
he still hasn't used up his roper
toire of tricks"
The Minneapolis Lakers' coach
was talking about his priced rookie
and the player many authorities in
the National Basketball Associat-
ion say is the most talented fresh
man performer in the history of
the league.
His name, of course, is Elgin
Baylor, who forsook another year
college eligibility at Seattle Uni
versity to join the Lakers at a
rather handsome bonus.
Baylor deserved every penny he
got. But listen to Kundla:
IT can't teach him much because
he's not a mechanical player. He's
just a natural athlete with marvel
GUS reactions; he just naturally
reacts right to every situation
that arises. And he's great team
man.
He's learned a lot about setting
block for a teammate and his
defense has picked up great deal.
Baylor has a chance to be a
better all-around player than Jim
Pollard, Minneapolis all-time great.
But he isn't yet. Elgin is scoring
more than Jim because the pivot
is open and he drives up the middle.
Pollard and Baylor are a lot
alike in so many respects. They
both have great ability to jump.
It's a coach's dream to have a boy
of the Baylor or Pollard type on
team"
If you think Kundla is somewhat
partial to Baylor, listen to Coach
Red Auerbach, of the Boston Gel
tics:
Eyes, would say he is better
than Maurice Stokes was. Stokes
was great when he came into the
league, but I don't think he i'm
proved much. This kid (Baylor)
seems to have a little more gin
ger"
League statistics reveal that Bay
lor may end up as the best rookie
in the MIA history, just as the
experts predicted earlier in the
season.
After 60 games, the former
Seattle All-American had scored
1442 points for a 23,7 average
He had picked off 800 rebounds
for a 14.S average. He led his team
in assists with PSI and, as Kundls
suggests, has shown marked i'm
provement defensively.

explaining his controversial list
ing, was the best all-around fight

perfect stance, was a master Of the
art of feinting, and was the craft

He was a magnificent counter

He had plenty of power, too"
Fleischer rated Joe Louis sixth

Lawrence had tough luck last

hit his stride and tapered off again.
His log was eight victories and 10

THURMAN IN FAMILIAR ROLE
Brooks has had two winning
seasons with Cincinnati - 10 and
10 in 1856 when he won Is straight,
and 16 and 10 in 1857.
Thurman, veteran pinchhitter,
is in his fifth season with the Red
legs. He is considered as one Of
the best clutch batsman in the
majors and also is a handy utility
performer.
Another handy is Pendleton, ac-
quired in a trade with Pittsburgh
Pirates. Pendleton, who spent most
of last season with Columbus Of
the International league, play in
field or outfield. His best major
league season was in 1853 with
Milwaukee when he batted .299 in
12O games. He batted .312 last year
at Columbus.
Gender is 22-year-old portside-
swinging catcher. He was signed
by the same scout who landed

on the same Oakland (Cahf) high

Gender, in his fourth season in
organized baseball, spent most Of
1858 at San Antonio, where he bat

he ripped IA hits in 20 at-bats.
