Faded Memories

Faded memories were given new life and musty
newspaper and magazine files were aired when the
Chicago Go Co White Sox swept to the American
League championship last week for the first time IN
40 years.
When the ChiSox returned home in triumph after
their pennant-clinching victory over Cleveland, an
estimated 100 600 persons cheered them at the air
port at 2 am. Hundreds of thousands OF others cele-
brated elsewhere in the Windy City.
Some of these residents were around when the
Sox last won a pennant in 1919. That team which had
been acclaimed as the greatest ever, was given the
infamous Black Sox" tag as . result OF a scandal
which was disclosed later.
Among the celebrants, there no doubt were a few
oldsters who remembered the happier 1906 White Sox
championship team known as the "Hitless Wonders. .
Many of you readers probably have been seeing
these two tags-"Hitless Wonders" and Black SoX~-
quite often, but may not know too much about the
teams they describe. Let's roll back the years ana take
a quick look at them.
Recalling the happier memory first, the "HitIess
Wonders" were truly that. They won fhe Al. pennanf
So years ago with a club batting average OF .zzS' S'e"e-
land led the league with a .27o batting average.
R~everting momentarlly to the present, the 10
Go Sox' had a team average Of $50, sixth in the league.
Cleveland was second in the loop with a .26l mark.
Making another comparison, the last place 1859 Wash
ington Senators had the lowest club batting average In
the majors with .237. They finished last.
Frank Isbell was the leading hitter for the 1906
Sox with a lusty .279 average. George DAVIS was the
second with .277. Neither was able to hit a home run.
In fact, the entire White Sox team hit a grand total
of seven homers-five less than Harry Davis of the
Athletics who led the loop with a dozen round trippers.
Getting back to 1859 again, the go 60 Sox'
clouted 95 homers, less than any other team In the
majors. Leading slugger was Sherm Lollar with q
homers half as many as Rocky Colavito of the
Indians. Nellie Fox paced the team with a ,3O5 average.
Like the 1859 team, the "Hitless Wonders were
famous for spectacular fielding and tight pitching.
The Wonders" had four pitchers who won II
OF the % victories posted. This quartet was led by
Frank Owen with a 22-l3 record. Others were Nick
AItrock with 2o-l3, Doc White with 1876 and Big Ed
Walsh, with 1913.
Walsh, famous for his spitball, hurled 10 shut
outs; Two years later, he won 40 gamesi

FORT MADISON, Iowa, July
Is (AP).-A life termer at the
Iowa State Penitentiary is the
first man in Iowa to be certified
by the Library of Congress as a
braille transcriber of books for
the blind.
Carroll Berres, 43, convicted
of murder 20 years ago, spends
all his free evenings TRANSCRIPT
ing books into braille. He is
sighted.
There are a number Of wom-
en- certified as braillists in Iowa
but Berries is the lone man.
He was introduced to the
braille system last year by Mrs.
Alvin Kirsner, head of the
Braille TRANSFERRING Division of
the Iowa Commission for the
Blind.

Life-Termer Serves
As Eyes for Blind

Berries finished a normal IA
week Braille training course in
just eight weeks, then produced
a 50-page manuscript which
was submitted to the Library
of Congress, and on which work
certificate is based.
Berries works seven days q
week in the prison pharmacy
and gives up all his recreation
periods to work as a clerk in
the inmate canteen.
Each week he attends an ad-
vanced mutual improvement
class, a group-therapy class. a
social-improvement class, and
teaches an elementary class in
mutual improvement.
On free evenings, he works at
his Braillewriter, when not
teaching other inmates how to
transcribe books into braille.

KIEV. Ukraine, U.S.S.R., July
rs (AP). Soviet Russia is
changing its farming methods
so fast that only a big operator
in Montana or Southern Cali
fornia would recognize the OF
Grafton.
The end results seem to be
the same. A good farmer gets
good results, a poor one gets
poor results. The Russians are
Ifactoryizing their farms so top
level management can take out
some of the risk. Apparently 1t
is paying of in increased pro-
duction, although figures are
hard to check. 1t is separating
farm folk from a spiritual af-
finity with the land.
This correspondent had a
close look at two varieties Of
farm factory. One was a collec-
tive farm, a sort Of co-opera-
Itive-with a party atmosphere.
