Pick Giants. White
Sox As 1850
Pennonf Winners
BY Charles J. livingston

AS we have done several times
in the past with varying success,
the Associated Negro Press is
again going out on the proverbial
limb in picking the San Francisco
Giants to win the National League
pennant
We know that there are many
who will disagree with the choice,
but that is the way we see it from
our vintage point after surveying
the field Of the eight contenders in
the race.
The reason for picking the
Giants is simple: We feel the Bay
area stars, deep in hitting with an
awesome array of sluggers, have
added the pitching punch that will
enable them to beat out the Mil
waukee Braves and the Los An
geles Dodgers, the current world
champions in this years flag
race.
See w. Sox Repeating
Over in the American League.
our choice to repeat is the Chi
cago White Sox. Here again the
reasoning is obvious: The Sox, with
strong pitching staff, have added
extra bat power to the tight de-
Tense and speed which enabled the
Pale Hose to beat off persistent
challenges of the Cleveland Indians
last year.
Our choices in the two leagues,

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 off 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 .313 mark last season but
figures to improve greatly on that
record and star afield and on the
base path mainly because of the
$4,000 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 21-15
won-lost record, despite being the
workhorse of the Giants mound
staff. He will get needed bullpen
help this season from Billy ODen
and Bud Byerly Off 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 (3D, Cepeda
(2D, 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
G-12), and Don Newcombe (13-
81 on the mound, and Frank Rob-
inson (s31D and Vada Pinson
(.316) at the plate to bomb oppos-
ing pitchers. In addition the Red
legs have such promising rockies
as Chico Cardenas, clio 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,
have six tan stars in the current
campaign. The contingent is led,
naturally, by the 1859 batting
champion (.355, "Hammering''
Hank Aaron, who is a strong fav-
orite to top MI hitters again this
season. Aaron is backed up by
(.2s9), the injury plagued
Yves Covington (.279), Lee Maye,
rookie outfielder 1899 at Louis
ville), Felix Mantilla, talented ut
ility infielder (.219), pitcher Juan
Pizarro and another hopeful mound
aspirant, Winston Brown (15-14,

ific Coast League.

Dear Nh. Schwartz:
Events of the past few months,
both locally and on the national
and international scene, indicate
that the concerted drive of the
communist forces is in action.
People who have studied the
problem facing our country are
very concerned and the crux of
their concern is the complacent
attitude of the American people.
j. Edgar Hoover, Chairman Wal
tiers of the House Unamerican
Activities Committee, and many
patriotic personalities, feel that the
only chance we have to survive as
a nation, is to have the people
wake up and reject communism.
A few weeks ago, as program
chairman of the Kiwanis club here
in Sidney, I had a man speak in
regards to communism. This man
was Vern Vine, president of the
Farmers Anti-C Communist League,
at Vida, Montana. In his talk, he
quoted information that indicated
there was very likely communist
%infiltration in the Farmers Union
organization. Immediately after
this talk, the president of the
Kiwanis club was harassed for
two days with indignant Farmers
Union members, pressuring that
the Kiwanis club should not have
programs of this nature. 1 was ap-
preached and was threatened with
a business smear, unless I made a
public apology for having had Mr..
Vine speak at Kiwanis. 1 do not
feel that it is an insult to the
Farmers Union to have it said that
they are very likely to be a desira-
BILE organization for infiltration.
Communists are ordered to infil-
trate any organization that is in
fluential and surely the Farmers
Union is not with out influence.
In your editorial of a few weeks
past, "some will, some won't
agree, 1 received the impression
that you felt the farm groups had

Efforts Being
Made To Improve
Local Cemetery

To continue efforts to maintain
the Sidney Cemetery and make it
a more beautiful resting place for
those buried there, better equip
ment is needed.
The present one-half mill,
money paid annually by individ-
uals and the interest from per-
petual care funds is not sufficient.
More money is needed to obtain
better equipment as it is the desire
of interested Sidney and sur
rounding area people to have the
cemetery beautified.
The Cemetery association, at
their annual meeting, voted to
have a tag day Saturday, June 4,
and the money received from this
Tag Day will be used on the pur-
chase of a new mower. Citizens
ire asked to be generous in the
support of Tag Day, Saturday,

for specific mention regarding
communism. Every businessman
in Sidney is aware that the farm
people are the backbone of our

then it is wrong to assume that
