lets Penndnt
Chances Soar
By LOU FABR0
Times Sports Editor

Feeling is strong in baseball circles and among
sports writers that the 1860 Columbus Jets Will VIII
the international League pennant.
This is highly significant since this is the first
time in the clubs history that it has been tagged as
one of the favorites for the flag.
DURING n FRS three years of Jet operation
n955-56-50, very few gave the Jets mucn chance loI
anything except escape from the basement ana 'he
lets did Just that finishing seventh each year.
In 1858. we predicted in this column that the Jets
finally would roar out of the second division. That
wear. Columbus finished fourth.
Last wear, we said the Jets had an excellent
chance of improving their fourth place finish out that
Columbus fans would have to wait another year or SO
before thew would be treated to a pennant winner.
Well. the Jets ended in second, 5H2 games benlnd
Buffalo.
HOW ABOUT THIS a The Pittsburgh Pr
ates have built the 1860 Jets into a solid first division
club bv giving Columbus the cream OF their minor
league talent. This years edition of the Jets is the best
in the clubs history.
Thus, we believe the Jets will finish either first
or second and their chances of finishing on top OF the
heap are better than $3.50.
1t might be interesting to note here that a Column
bus team hasn't won a league flag since l94l when the
Red Birds captured the American Association title and
went on to take the Little World Series. The Red Blrds
did win the Little World Series as recently as l95O as
we'll as in 1912 and 1943 but those clubs all 1lnlSheo
third in the league during the regular season.
In fact. last years second place finish, was the
highest for Columbus since l94l.
WITH JUST A COUPLE of exceptions, the 1860
Columbus club is composed of players with Triple-A
or major league experience. Half the players were
with the Jets last year. Also returning is manager Cal
Ermer, who rellshes a run-run attack.
This years club will have good, steady pitching
and good hitting. The defense will be excellent.
On the debit side, a lot of fans are still doubtful
about Dick Barone at shortstop. In 1857, ne batted only
1872 for Columbus but observers say he has improved
100 per cent. Last year, he batted $50 for Salt Lake
City.
ALSO CAUSING A FEW BRoWs to wrinkle is
the fact that the Jets hit only one home run during
spring games. Manager Ermer said he wasn't worried
about this and felt confident the long ball will show
up in the Jets attack during the regular season.
Looking over the rest of the league, Rochester IS
regarded as one Of the main contenders for the crown.
Havana, last years playoff and Little World Series
winner, also looks like a contender. Others rating at
tention are Buffalo and Miami

Reviewing The Clubs:

ROCHESTER - the club is vastly improved, The
Red Wings got first choice of everything the st. Louis
Cardinals sent down to the minors. The Wings were
fifth last year.
HAVANA except for pitching, the Cubans have
oasically the same squad as last year when they finish
ed third. If a couple of pitchers shape up, or Havana
gets a few from Cincinnati, look out.
BUFFALO - The champion Bisons are hitting
since they lost five of their top players to the Philadel-
phia Phillies. Buffalo is still tough, but rebuilding.
MIAMI - a seventh place team last year, the Mar
Inns are better this year. The Baltimore Orioles have
been sending their best minor league talent to Miami
instead of Vancouver.
MONTREAL - is about in the same shape as last
year when the Royals were sixth. The Los Angeles
Dodgers seem to be feeding Spokane their best talent.
TORONTO - has a better club than last year.
The Mapleleafs finished last in 1859, however. Cleve-
land has remade practically the entire club.
- Isn't greatly improved. The New
York Yankees are having their own troubles and Rich
mond isn't expected to be any better than last year
when the Wees finished fourth.

Graham Says
Race Bars Hit
Mission Effort

NEW YORK, April 7 (AP)-
Billy Graham says that Africans
so far have not been widely
aware that racial segregation
exists in American churches
but they're finding out. and
it's dealing a hard blow to the
Christian cause.
This is among the major
conclusions that the globe
trotting evangelist drew on his
10-week African tour from
which he returned last week.
Outlining his impressions in
an interview. he said the foes
of Christianity are busy pic
turing it as a white mans
religion"
This is Christianity's biggest
stumbling block in Africa" he
said.
The damage. he added, is
only beginning.
THE embarrassing racial
problem in America and Britain
has not been such an obstacle
among Africans until now be-
cause they were not so aware
of it." he said. But it's be-
coming increasingly a problem
there"
Gesturing for emphasis, he
went on:
THE segregated churches
and church institutions in
America are becoming known
to African leaders. They can't
believe it. They can't take it
in. They're astounded to hear
that Christian institutions bar
a man on the basis of color"
Mr.. Graham, who refuses to
hold any meetings where seq
regation is required, said the
African trip strengthened his

conviction that Christianity
must free itself Of racial re-
strictions.
Eventually the churches are
going to have to drop it," he
said. The clergy are further
ahead on this matter than
most people"
A Southern Baptist, Mr.. Gra-
ham stressed that the issue in
America is not a regional one,
but applies almost equally
North and South. Ninety per
cent of all our churches are
segregated" he said.

experiment with his uncertain tastes and talents

But he should also be given public space in
