The Promised Land

The Mayflower plowed on,
fighting the raging waves that
threatened to engulf it. Winds
ripped and tore at the frail
craft as it fought it's way to
the stony coast. The one-hun-
dred and twenty voyagers
aboard, hailed God in prayer for
keinging them to the craggy
shore. Trees, ravagedI by the
wind, bowed to the happy pill
grims.
Calamity they stepped into
the icy water and waded into
shore. The billowing waves
curled around the long black
dresses of the women. The men
guided the small rowboats onto
the rocky beach and unloaded
their bere possessions. The chill
dren, pretending to be gown
ups. ran back and forwards with
baggage too heavy for their
frail bodies. The women wept
silently for the friends and
loved ones who could not with
stand the perilous voyage.
They had arrived in late af-
ternoon; therefore, the immi-
grants retreated once more to
to spend the night. Next morn
the tiny cabins aboard the ship
ing they awoke, proud of the
sparce land God had chosen to
give them.
Some men, heftier than the
others, worked in the forest
telling trees, and built lean-to's
for the coming night. The others
walked CALAMITY into the un.
explored forest to shoot wilo
fowl for the midday meal. The
women busted themselves sort
ing out the few possessions that
had been salvaged.
WIZ
A huge log table was set up,
Chilling winds blew in from
| the ocean. Fires were kindlee
along the shore and great black
watts were placed on them. The
table was spread with wild de-
licacies, picked from the ricf
new land.
Slowly the men. women. and
children assembled around tn,
table. Wild fruit and fowl com
plimented the rough-hewn wooc
table. Children were quieted in
! their mad scamperings and ex
plorations. Women wiped theil
hands on their aprons as they
walked to the table. Guns were
propped against trees, and hats
were lain on logs as the mer
sauntered to the table.
All heads were bowed ant
all eyes closed as this handful,
of brave people gave thanks to
the Lord for bringing them to
this land of happiness: a lane
where people could talk as they
wanted. A place where children
could grow into adult-hood un-
! der a just government.
This land-America-is God:
country; where men of different
faiths. creeds, and beliefs car
come together to honor one flag
and one God.

A Very Handy Sort of Guy

SPEAKING OF jim KING" said
George Case when, indeed, they were
speaking of King in Manager Mickey Ver-
mons office, you'd be surprised how other
players rate him.
"ThereIl be lull in a game, like when
a pitching change is being made" the
Senators first-base coach went on, "and
I'll be in the coaching box talking to a
guy, usually the other clubs first baseman.
For instance, Jim Gentle in Baltimore not
so long ago.
Gentle said to me, You're pretty
lucky to come up with King. He's good,
solid hitter. saw him in the minors. He
could play on my club any day."
"And yet" somebody interrupted, mus
ingly, "he'd been up with the Cubs, Cardi-
mails and Giants and didn't stick. How can
you explain it after the way he's been
hitting?"
Rollie Hemsley the third-base coach,
popped lemon drop in his mouth. Maybe
he was bucking some other good outfield-
ers," Rollie said. Maybe he's a streaky
hitter"
THE NAME OF DAVE HARRIS came
to mind. The Sheriff dates back to the
early and mid-1930s. He was an outfielder
who could walk out of the dugout cold and
break up game. In fact, he often did in
1888, when he played an important part in
winning Washington's last pennant.
after Dave would come through in a
pinch few times" man remembered,
"Joe Cronin and, later, Bucky Harris would
stick him in the lineup to replace some
body who wasn't hitting Harris maybe
would hit for four, five days and then
nothing"
Vernon, Case and Sid Hudson came up
after Sheriff Harris, who really is a law
man down South these days, but Hemsley
knew of Dave. Rollie couldn't see much of
a parallel between Harris and King.
"Jim is better than four or five game
hitter" Hemsley objected. He'll carry his
form much longer than Harris ever did.
I'm not even saying King is a streaky
hitter"
Case asked, "Was Dave Harris a good
outfielder?"
NO." was the reply, "he was a very
mediocre one"
WELL" George said, settling the matter
of comparison, king is pretty good out
fielder with a real good arm"

Hobaugh Had No Curve
But He Didn't Need It

King raped out three hits, in
Guiding a triple. to raise his
average to 1888. Green had two
hits, including a double, and
Tasby had two singles.
Green's double in the second
inning drove in Billy Klaus, who
had singled, to offset Averill's
blast to the leftfield bleachers.
Then the Senators went ahead
for good in the third with two
runs on singles by King and
Tasby and three walks. TaSby's
hit drove in one run and Jerry
CaSale's baseS-loaded walk to
Green right after relieving
Starter Ned Carver accounted
for the other.
Green's single, a wild pitch

are hitting better than 300.
Which leaves Gene Woodling on the
bench, guy with .291 average in his own
right. And how does Gene feel about it?"
Were winning and that's the impor-
tant thing" the old pro was saying, rub
bing the tender knee he injured a couple
of weeks ago. "If our outfielders weren't
hitting and we were losing, I'd feel like
hell, sitting on the bench After ALL I'm
being paid to do job for this club. I'm
supposed to hit. But the way King and the
others are going, don't feel so bad about it,
I'm pretty lucky" Woodling went on
"ThiS was the first time I'd ever been hurt
in the majors Oh, I've had a couple of
bumps and bruises but nothing that kept
me out of IA, Is games. I'm pretty lucky
nothing happened until this stage of my
life and we're lucky to have the other out
fielders doing so we'll"
KING, HIMSELF, is taking his hitting
splurge in stride. Jim is quiet guy whose
own explanation of his previous failures to
stay in the majors comes out like this:
"The Cards and Cubs Just had out
fielders they felt were more valuable. I
didn't get much of shot with the Giants
AS matter of fact, although 1 played
with the Cubs for two years, this has been
my best opportunity"
King really hasn't been at his physical
peak lately. He's playing with a pulled
muscle in his right thigh, wearing a tight
wrapping. In addition, he was hit on the
right elbow by Dave Wickersam in Kansas
City on May 23 He's just beginning to
throw we'll again. When Jim's wing is
right, he throws better than any of the
Washington outfielders.
Another oddity: King never has been
a strong spring hitter. Usually, start
slowly" he said. II never hit this well so
early"
His brief tenure with the Giants isn't
listed in the club brochure, although he
was in the lineup when they made their
bow in San Francisco. The omission was

knocked out 81 of the 33 start

STATE VISIT GLUT


With the establishment of so many half
ularly in Africa, the problem of state visits
is becoming a major one in Washington and
in other capitals of the world.
With the arrival of every tribal chief
who now calls himself the president of this
officials must roll out the red carpet and pay
and traditional functions and time-consum-
ing diplomatic routine that in former years
was limited to ruling monarches of some
standing.
1t is getting to be an obvious absurdity
Washington. He wants to borrow money
enjoy all the fanfare and official recognition
and have a big time. 1t is farce and the
American taxpayer deserves something bet
ter than continuous procession of such non
sense.
AS a matter of cold fact, the protocol
and diplomatic tradition which State De-
partment fancies strive to maintain and pre-
serve with so much relish is growing obso-
lete in this age with new countries bobbing
up on all Sides The newly half-civlized
countries in Africa, for example, are not
logically in line to adopt all this tradition
and official hoopla. With them it is out of
place, out of good taste and wasted time and
effort.
If the trend continues, pretty soon the
President of the United States will not have
time for much else than to greet and enter
tain various foreign leaders, making the
trek to Washington and an official welcome
and reception.
