What happened then stunned
two nations. Goliath fell. David

was a shout of victory from the

PhilistineS turned and fled.

act Of faith. He wound up his
sling and fired. His secret was
the Spirit of God who guided
the stone unerringly to the fore
head of Goliath. His secret was
his trust in the Lord.
Goliath is a symbol, or a
type, Of the unconquerable
enemy. When you are confront
ed with fear, you face Goliath.
What is poverty but Goliath?
What is failure, hunger, inse-
curity, Indebtedness or anything
which blocks your way, if it is

the future is Goliath. In one

ABUNDANT LIFE
IN ONE HOUR

IN one hour, a youthful shep-

the hills near Bethlehem, be.

Israel.
He was David!
In that same hour, the leg
endafy champion Of the Philis-
tines, perhaps the most formid-
able warrior the world has ever
known, lay dead at the feet Of
his people.
He was Goliath!
The confidence Of the Philis-
tines melted into dismay and
confusion. The insecurity Of
the children Of Israel turned
into exultation and triumph. All
within one hourl
Goliath lowered in splendor
9A feet. He was magnificent in
impenetrable armor. His great
sword flashed in the sunlight.
Who in all the world was equal
to this giant Of giantsP
David was but a lad in his
teens. He was too light TO wear
protective armor. He had no ex-
perience with the sword. The
only weapon he knew was a
small hand sling. II was both
gross insult and folly to pit this
diminutive child against the
might Of Goliath.
The fate Of Israel had never
hung on so slender a thread in
all Of that nations resplendent
history. It was one of the
earths most dramatic hours.

his job if he hadn't deviated.
RALPH HoUK CONSIDERED no pitcher
other than Ford as his opening game choice.
His reward was Whtey's third straight
series shutout, a 20, two-hit victory over
the helpless Cincinnati Reds that was a
masterpiece.
How much of a masterpiece? ut was
my best series game" Whitley said in the
clubhouse. 1T may have been my best at
any time" But such is the standard that
Ford has maintained that his own manager
disagreed with him. 1--we seen him pitch
as well or better" Houk said. at doesn't
matter. He's just little pro-"
Whitley will be 80 years old this month
but he looked at least as good as ever,
maybe better. Notification of this opinion
was solicited from Jim Turner, longtime
pitching coach of the Yankees and now
filling the same job for the Reds Whitley
could we'll be better than ever" Turner
sighed in the Cincinnati clubhouse "All
1 know is that he's got bad habit of not
letting the other side score He's simply
great pitcher"
FORD MADE THE BEATING of the
National League champions look ridic-
ulouSly easy. He all but lulled the crowd
to sleep as he set down the Reds, yielding
only a single to Eddie Kasko in the first
inning, single to Wally Post in the fifth
and walk to Frank Robinson in the
seventh.
Already the holder of most series
strikeouts with 50, Whitley famed six more.
His eighth series victory set new record
for games won, surprising the seven of Red
Ruffing and Allie Reynolds. He had the
Reds off balance with his stuff notably
side-arm curve, fast ball and sinker.
Il threw change-up to Kasko and
he hit it," Whitley related after the game,
so put the pitch aside. The other three
pitches we're working so what more could
l want?"
In the fourth inning Elston Howard
sliced drive to the opposite field that
just leaked into the first row of the stands
for home run. 1t occurs that number
of American League rightfielders might
have caught the ball that escaped the
numbering Post. But in the sixth Bill
Skowron belted highly authentic homer
Either one was all Whitley needed.
The Reds accepted defeat calmly
almost resignedly. This was as it should
have been, because they didn't look as
if they'd score in a week off the man

NEW YORK, Oct. SIZING a
new sad song for poor Babe
Ruth. The Yankees just won't
let the greatest Yankee Of them
all rest in peace.
First it was Roger MariS who
hacked and cut at the Babes
immortal batting achievement
80 home runs in a l54-game
season. Maris Just missed but
now Whitley Ford is taking
dead aim at Ruth's proudest
pitching accomplishment.
When and if the skilled
SOuthpaw retireS without a run
the next five Cincinnati Reds
he faces in this World Series,
Whitley will surpass Christy
Mathewson'S streak of 28h
scorelesS series innings. That
would move him up to No. 2. If
he pitches three scoreleSS in
rnngS he breaks the Babes
mark of 1923.
Three Straight ShutOuts
!, These are not easy records
to top. There is more ivy
growing on them than there is
on Ruth'S homer mark set in
1927, Mathewson began his
skein in 1905 (27 scOreless
innings) and added to it in
1911. Ruth pitched IS of his
scoreless innings in 1916 and
the remainder in 1918. Then, of
course, he turned outfielder
and the mostest home run
litter in history.

The Little Pro
By FRANCIS STANN

: NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Sometime during
the 1850 season the exact date is I'M
remembered Whitley Ford joined the
American Association. We recall inter-
viewing him in the lobby of the Cleveland
Hotel in the city of the same name.
!, Casey Stengel, who was in pursuit of
the second of his 10 pennantS, had been
talking of the 22-year-old rookie at break
fast. 81 don't know anything about the
.fella,' Casey said, but they tell me he's
little runt and a cool customer"
:, Ford when he reported, accepted his
association with the Yankees so casually
as to appear indifferent. Stengel had one
of his better clubs and it was loaded with
big names. His top pitchers were Raschi,
Reynolds and Lopat, with Joe Page wearing
the fireman's hat There were DiMaggio,
Rizzuto, Mize, Bauer and Woodling
:. The youth didn't bat an eyelash in the
presence of the greats. He wasn't precisely
a runt, as Stengel had termed him, but
he was on the small side. One of the
questions, it is remembered, concerned size.
Raschi, Reynolds and Page were big men
who threw hard. Has any baseball man
ever told you that you're too small?" he
was asked.
- +
WHITLEY SHRUGGED. 1t was plain
he didn't like the query probably because
he had been told just that as a school kid.
Il get by" he said quietly, and during
the rest of that season he posted 81
record for the Yankees, taking his turn
Jas starter. In the final game of the World
Series he beat the Phillies, So, with little
ninth-inning help from Reynolds.
Right then and there the Yankees
began calling Whitley money pitcher and
SO he's been for more than decade Almost
invariably, when it came to a game the
Yankees had to win, Stengel, and now
Ralph Houk, pitched Ford He didn't always

Stengel, for some reason, chose to open
the 1860 series with Art Ditmar II hafta

-plained later referring to Ditmar's IS vic
tories as against Ford's mere IL last year.
tDitmar in fact, started twice and never
got past the second inning against the
Pirates. Ford, saved until the third game,
pitched twice and both were shutouts.

leaning on Ford, Now, looking back, he

pitched the scorelesS final
inning for the Reds.
O'Toole, a 1919 pitcher dur
ing the National League season,
will figure again in this hoe
down, no matter how short or
how long. Probably he will get
another chance at Whitley in
Crosley Field.
Yankees Praise O'TOOle
Manager Ralph Houk and the
Yankees were high in praise of
O'Toole. He's a real good
pitcher" Ralph said. I'VE had
an opportunity to get him early,
but we couldn't do it. The way
he pitched out of trouble told
me why he won so many games
this year"
In the Reds dressing room
there was no post-game gloom.
I'VE got beat" Manager Fred
Hutchinson bit off. Ford is a
helluva pitcher and there wasn't
anything we could do. But I'm
happy about the way O'Toole
pitched"
Hutch's gifted pitching coach,
eX-Yankee Jim Turner, put it
this way: "O'Toole was beaten
by one of the best money pitch
ers I've ever seen, but Jim will
be back. He's going to be one
of the real good pitchers in this
whole game before long"
Off to Shaky Start
O'Toole was off to an ex-
tremely shaky start when he
gave up a leadoff single to the
pesky Bobby Richardson and
walked Tony Kubek and Show
ron to load the bases with two
out. Then he settled down, after
Hutchinson walked out to talk
to him, and retired Yogi Berra
on a pop fly.
Il wasn't thinking of TAX
ing Jim out" Hutch said
later. Il just told him that he
was trying to pitch too fine. l
wanted him to throw his best
stuff over the plate, because
when he's got it no club is 60
ing to hurt him very much"
/ Nor did the Yankees hurt
O'Toole much, except for
Skowron's piece de resistance.

The District of Columbia
Stadium, properly christened
last Sunday by the pro teams,
also will receive a fitting dedi-
cation Saturday when George
Washington plays football
against Virginia Military In
stitute.
CIV officials expect a crowd
between 10000 and $4,000,
which would rank as perhaps
the largest throng ever to see
the ColonialS play here, accord
ing to their recollections.
Athletic Director Bob Faris
reports the sale of advance
tickets has topped 10000, in
Guiding $500 sold by VMI in
Lexington. With more than
IS, 900 seats still available, the
ticket office at Lisner Audito-
rum will remain open until 9
pm. tonight and tomorrow
night.
Faris recalls a crowd of IT,
900 attended the West Vir-
ginia game here in 1855. 1t
was GW's only home game that
season, and the MountaineerS
came here ranked No. 4 in the
Nation.
Faris says there may have
been 10000 at the 1885 game
with Alabama, and that one
probably is the schools all
time high for a home appear
ance.
The expected large gathering
Saturday is the result of sew
eral factors-GW's first home
game after three straight out
of town. the possibility of
President Kennedy's attending,
the still-attractive newnesS of
the park and the official dedi-
cation ceremonies, and the OPP
portunity for Washington fans
to see Dick Drummond run
with a football for the first
time since he was a senior at
Wilson High School in 1858.
Pre-game activities will be-
gin at 1880 pm, when the
VMI Cadet Corps and Band
march into the stadium. The
1000 cadets will pass in review
for the school president. Maj.
Gen. George r. E. Shell. then
ring the field as other march
