This observer likes the swift
manner in which Vernon dis
patches a weakening pitcher.
No dilly y-dallying around, look
ing at the sky, asking how the
old arm feels and all that rub
biSh. It's strictly to the show
ers, and maybe General Man
ager Ed Doherty unwittingly
deserves an assist in this.
Speaking to a group of friends
after the recent Georgetown
University athletic banquet,
Doherty remarked that the
only thing he said to Mickey
before the campaign opened
was not to hesitate to change
pitchers.
Get them out of there
quick" Ed advised him.
Doherty may have been
thinking of speeding up the
game, not wanting to waste
time with those interminable
conferences on the mound.
Mickey took him literally and
the system is working like a
charm.
Eddie Rosenblum, general
chairman of the Interfaith
Committee program, thinks the
proceedings tomorrow will go
Just as quickly and smoothly.
The luncheon is scheduled for
noon at the Willard Hotel and
will be over no later than 2
pm. Commerce Secretary Lu-
ther Hodges, who will receive
the national award, is down for
the longest speech Of the af-
fair, Is minutes. The chances
are the former North Carolina
basketball player will make it
much shorter. Everybody else
will have to settle for two or
three minutes.
Red Auerbach. coach of the
Boston Celtics who will receive
the sports award, probably
won't want to say much-espe-
cially since the fellow making
the presentation isn't a basket
ball official and never called a
bad one on Red in his life.
Sister Mechthilde of the Little
Sisters of the Poor is better
known for her good works than
public speeches. and Gene Aut-
ry will keep it short.
The program at the ball park
at night will be just as crisp
and brief. The group being hon
ored will be presented to fans
and at 8:05 the two teams will
start slugging it out.
AS we mentioped earlier, this
is one benefit game it shouldn't
be necessary to coax fans to at
tend. 1t shapes up as real
attraction and the Interfaith
Committee owes Mickey and his
men a vote of thanks.
