League Loaded With Tan Talent
Beyond predicting the winners
in the two leagues. AMP Is also
presenting, beginning with this
survey, a detail account Of the
part tan stars should play in the
pennant races. This weeks por-
ton Of the analysis centers on
the National League. Next week
we will analyze tan players in the
American League.
First of in the analysis are the
Giants, our top selection in the
senior circuits pennant race. The
Giants and Cincinnati were carry
ing the largest numbers Of colored
stars-with eight and seven, re-
spectively-as the MI season open
ed auspiciously for them last week.
Say Hey KId'' And Company
The biggest star on the Giants
team in all-around ability Is, Of
course, Willie Mays, who finished
with a .313 mark last season but
figures to improve greatly on that
record and star afield and on the
base path mainly because Of the
$751; 900 incentive provided by
owner Horace Stoneham. Willie
also has recovered from the thum
injury which handicapped him the
latter part Of the last season.
Mays counterpart In the pitch
ing department is Sam Jones, the
curveballing strikeout king, who
finished last season with a Ellis
won-lost record, despite being the
workhorse Of the Giants mound
staff. He will get needed bullpen
help this season from Billy O'Den
and Bud Byerly (if they aren't
used as starters) and could go on
to top last years victory total.
Murderers Row
Back to the infield-outfield stars,
Orlando Cepeda (.317), Willie Nc
Convey (.354 in 81 games with the
Giants), Willie Kirkland (.272),
and reserve player Felipe Alou
(.275). should team with Mays to
give the Giants all the bat fire
needed to win. Mays (34), Cepeda
(2O, Kirkland (22), McCovey (13),
and Alou (10), together hammered
1O6 round trippers for the Giants
last year. All seem to be In top
shape this season.
Cincinnati has Brooks Lawrence
(7-12), and Don Newcombe us
81 on the mound, and Frank Rob-
tnson (.S11) and Vada PinSon
(.S16) at the plate to bomb oppos-
ing pitchers. In addition the Red
legs have such promising rockies
as Chico Cardenas, Elio Chacon
and the highly regarded Tony
Gonzales to back up Robinson and
Pinson and other frontline players.
Aaron Leads Braves
The Milwaukee Braves. dethron-
ed by the Dodgers last season,

naturally, by the 1869 batting

A Letter To His Representative

Mr.. William Henry Mitchell

Dear William,
Every since you went to Jack

| saw fit, I have been trying to
think up some good bill ! could
suggest for you to drop into the
hopper. Now, l think | have got
one that will fill a real need and
make all of us feel better.
I know that we haven't seen
eye to eye on what has been done
to date. think you were wrong
in not voting to trust the people
to decide how they would handle
the liquor traffic in their local
tiles, and / also think you voted
wrong on the bill you passed to
bail the Methodist church out of
its dilemma. l agreed with you

play toy of the Game and Fish
Commission, but I disagreed with
your vote to tear up the school
book purchasing board on the
say so of the OAR and elements
of the citizens councils. So much
for that.
The bill I have in mind is one
on which we can agree whole
heartedly. It is legislative mea-
sure to provide more waiting
room space in the governors
office.
I was by there the other day,
William. / am a pretty aggressive
fellow, but try as might, |
couldn't get by the governors Of

way. There were just too many
folks waiting outside to get in.
guess that's the way it is in pol
itics. All the outside folks want
to get in and the folks that are
already inside want to stay right
where they are. But back to my
bill
My idea is to enlarge the wait
ing room of the governors office

Dear Editor:
There are times when I am
ashamed of being a white Amer
lean, and as I watch the televi-
sion screen and see the lines of
young men and women silently
marching in protest of IMAM
erican treatment, is one of the
times of deep shame.
We boast to the world that we
are a Christian nation, a nation
that loves freedom for all men, a
democratic nation, where all men
have an equal chance. We are
nation that so loves freedom and
liberty that we will send our
young men both black, white
and red to fight and die for free
dom for other men, of all races.
We welcome people from all over
the world to our land and give
them every opportunity, for edu-
cation, homes, work and along
with it the simple privilege of
sitting down to eat a meal in a
public place.
How the communistic world
and in fact all other people that
we have preached to, of our pure
motives, our democratic way of
life, must laugh and sheer as
they see the way we practice it.
When our own native born citi-
zens, our college students, must
march thru jeering crowds, must
accept insults silently, while what
they ask for and are denied, is
the simple act of sitting down to
a meal, for the right to walk
proudly to a ballot box and drop
in a slip of paper, for the priv
ilege of sitting in class rooms to
learn, for the right to earn de-
cent living and when possible to
buy better homes, to be able to
sleep at night without fear. These

At this point only the very

past has witnessed the introduce

WHAT HAPPENED IN WIS
CONSIN?-When John F. Ken
nedy and Hubert Humphrey lock
horns in West Virginia on May
10 they will be vying for the
privilege of running as Vice Pres
ident on national ticket headed
by some other Democrat.
Neither man will, of course,
agree with this analysis OF what
happened in Wisconsin. But, it
seems to me, both men have in
advertently proved what other
politicians have discovered in the
past that Wisconsin can be the
graveyard of mans White
House ambitions.
Kennedy really needed to make
clean sweep of the states 10
districts and have a solid delega-
ton from the Badger state IN his
corner when the main bout opens
in Los Angeles. Unfortunately for
him his vote, while impressive,
was not decisive.
Even before Wisconsin, Hum
phrey was always an underdog
with only an outside chance, un-
der optimum conditions, of win
ming the No. / spot on the ticket.
His Wisconsin showing was re-
spectacle, but not spectacular.

Perhaps it was inevitable that

The reorganization Of the Game

has succeeded in lifting that
agency very far from the main

to reflect with some concern of
