Thirty-seven years ago q
young man, brimming with en-
thusiasm and exuding new
ideas, joined the Organized
Bible Glass Association of
Washington.
Throug no ut the years
George E. Harris has brought
whole -heartedly these qualities
to the association. He has en-
livened its meetings by wearing
funny hats. reciting original
humorous poems, interpolating
laughter inducing marks
into staid discussions.
But underneath these antics
the Chevy Chase Methodist
Church member has given solid
service to the Bible class or
ganization, organized in 1922
at Leesburg. Va. He has served
as treasurer, secretary, denomi-
national vice president, admin
istrative vice president, execu-
tive secretary and president. In
each post he has contributed
new ideas and further achieve
ments.
This week end Mr.. Harris
ends his term as president of
the Organized Bible Glass As
sociation. With his retirement
from the post at the annual
meeting at Western Maryland
College, Westminster, Nd, the
67-year-old Washington resi-
dent will bring to a close his
office-holding activities with
the organization.
Still Will Help
II think it is time some of
the younger members take
over" Mr.. Harris said. II shall
be glad to help as a plain
member"
Thirty-seven years is a long
time to be a member of an
organization, and numerous
high points thrust themselves
forward along memory lane.
One Of the most enduring for
Mr.. Harris was the first Easter
sunrise service sponsored by
the association, in 1912, at Fort
Lincoln Cemetery.
He asked the late DR.. Peter
Marshall, minister OF New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church,
to speak and as an inducement
said q crowd of 5000 Worship
ers would be present.
II don't believe that but I
will CO." DR.. Marshall
answered.
That early Easter morning
nearly 10000 people appeared.
DR.. Marshall looked at the
crowd from his vantage point
atop the hill and with tears in
his eyes told Mr.. Harris. "I
have never been so awed in all
my life. To be here on Easter
morning as the sun came UP
and to see all those people, so
many In all kinds of uniforms.
probably will never expert
ence q more thrilling moment"
Prospect "Sold"
During the war Mr.. Harris
suggested a Bible fund to send
Testaments to the armed serv-
ices. They cost 20 cents each
and he and others raised $2,100
for the purpose. He went to
fellow workers at Remington
Rand, including an atheist
from whom he asked a So
contribution.
But I don't believe in the
Bible" the man objected.
But you do believe In a
man fighting for you over
seas" Mr.. Harris answered.
Evening star., 1961-09-02

The man spread his arms
and said, Sold"
Mr.. Harris interest in dis
tributing the Testaments was
more than academic, for he
had served overseas in France
In World War I.
It recalled an incident of
those years. While In the Army
he wrote parodies on popular
songs for his buddies. During
q War Bond rally in the Bos-
ton Commons attended by his
two sisters, a moving picture
screen was erected and the an
nouncer siad, THE following
parodies are by Sergt. George
E. Harris, now serving in
France"
His two sisters called out,
"Oh, that's my brother"
This penchant for writing
lyrics started early, for Mr..
Harris was named poet laure-
ate of his 1912 graduating class
at Mechanic Arts High School
in Boston. A friend once sug-
gested he become q lyricist and
write words to the songs the
former would compose. But he
decided against the step, even
though for some years he
played the drums, bells and
tympani as q professional
musician.
Mr.. Harris has initiated
many new programs while an
officer of the Bible class aSso-
citation. These included the
Easter Sunrise Service, Noon
light Cruise, Bible fund and
membership crusade. AS presi-
dent his major accomplish
ments include bringing the in
dividual churches and minis
ters closer to the organization,
as we'll as greater cooperation
of the National Capital Area
Council of Churches and the
group.
To Write History
But while he has stepped out
as an officer his work for the
association does not end. Mr..
Harris will write q detailed
history Of the organization.
Doing this and keeping up
with his hobby of sending
greeting cards and thank you
letters will occupy the retired
Remington Rand salesman,
who still acts as a special con-
sultant for the firm with
which he spent 43 years.
In looking back on his life,
Mr.. Harris said he has been
guided by what his mother told

Of the most complete routs in All-Star his
tory. This was back on July 8, 1946, long
before they dreamed of playing two ALI
Star games year. Final score: AL, IL;
MI, 0.
Ted Williams had freshly returned
from World War II, and rarely has ball
player enjoyed such day. In five appear
ances he homered twice, singled twice,
walked, drove in five runs and scored four.
The only MI pitcher who pitched
Smartly to Williams was Claude PasSeau,
the starter. He walked Ted, bearing in
mind the monumental, game winning,
three-run homer he yielded to williams in
the ninth inning of the Al game in Detroit.
But then Kirby Higbe dared pitch to him
in the fourth and Ted hit pitch into the
seats. Next came the Side-arming Ewell
Blackwell, and Williams settled for singles
in the fifth and seventh innings.
RIP SEWELL finally was led to the
slaughter. Rip had patent on the blooper
pitch Williams took one look at this freak
delivery and said, onthe bench, How can
anybody hit that thing? You've got to
furnish all the power, and anyway it comes
almost straight down on you"
1T can be DONE" Bill Dickey told him.
Don't dig in on Sewell When he throws
the blooper, walk up on it."
Williams listened we'll Came his turn
and came the blooper. 1t landed in the

the plate.
1t wasn't all hitting that afternoon.
Jack Kramer, Bob Feller and Hal New

AH-Stor Game No. 2
BY FRANCIS STANN

TAKEN GAME BY GAME, baseballs
An-Star affairs are meaningless Spectacles
designed to raise money for the players
pension fund and entertain the bluffs of
an opposite league city. But tomorrow in
Boston it behooves the American Leaguers
to make a score. They are beginning to
lose face.
The Nationals have won 10 of the last
IA of these picnics, including that travesty
in gale on July II in San Francisco. This,
in itself, wouldn't be disturbing if the far
more meaningful World Series results
didn't sustain the suspicion that Warren
Giles is president of a stronger league than

Add to those four lonesome wins in IA
All-Star games only two World Series tri-
umphs in the last seven years and it be-
comes mite embarrassing to the Ameri-
cans. The pendulum has swung from the
years-1947-53-when the AL swept seven
consecutive World Series, and from 1853,
when they won five in row. The tide has
changed since the Americans held an 8-3
edge in the first II All-Star games
I'VE have Mantle and Maris, plus
Whitley Ford" the American bluffs pro-
claim.
Take away your Yankees and you'd
have nothing" the Nationals counter.
Anyway, what's wrong with Frank Robin
son and Johnny Podres?"
THE AMERICANS DO, indeed, owe
much to the Yankees in their warfare with
the Nationals. The only two World Series
wins since 1854 were brought off by the
Yankees, who also have been the one
dominant team in all the All-Star games
since the inaugural in 1888.
National Leaguers won't even hold still
for any claim that Mantle and Maris form
the hottest boX-office draw in the business
today. Notwithstanding Mantle's 80 hon.
ers and 1888 batting average. and Maris' 40
homers, the MI is contending with some
logic that Cincinnati's Robinson is outper-
forming either Of the Yankee sluggers. And
they could have point. Robinson was
outhitting Mantle by 9 points and Maris
by 81 points. Nor is Robinson so far back
in home runs with his 80.

NEW YORK, July 20 (AP).-
Whitley Ford won his 18th game
of the year and 18th in sue
ceSsion today when Yogi Berra
hit an ighth-inning home run
for q 5-4 Yankee victory over
Baltimore in a rain-delayed
contest.
Berra, 36-year-old veteran,
thrilled the Oldtimers' Day
crowd Of 1890 by hitting Jack
Fishers first pitch in the eighth
into the lower right field stands.
Berra'S 18th homer of the
season boosted the Yanks lead
over second-place Detroit to
two full games as the Tigers
lost to Minnesota.
A morning long rain had
forced postponement of q
scheduled two-inning game be-
tween Giant -Dodger oldtimers
and former Yankees. The cere-
monies were reduced to intro
ductions in the rain.
Wilhelm Starts
Hoyt Wilhelm, Baltimore's
knuckle ball relief ace making
his first start Of the season, was
roughed up in the third when
the YankS scored four runs.
Singles by Bob Cerv and
Clete Boyer and a wild throw
by Jim Gentle on Ford's slow
grounder gave the Yanks their
first run. Bobby Richardson's
single drove in Boyer and Ford.
Richardson rode home on sim
giles by Tony Kubek and Berra.
Ford ran into a wild streak in
the fourth when the Orioles
scored two runs after two were
out. A walk to Gus Triandos, a
single by Dick Williams and a
walk to- Ron Hansen loaded the
bases. Dave Philley'S pinch
single to short left brought in
Triandos and Williams. Ford
then walked pinch-hitter Mary
Breeding, filling the bases again,
but he got Brooks Robinson on
a foul to ElSton Howard.
Ford Equals High
Ford's victory equalled his
career high Of 10 in 1856 when
he finished with a 1876 record.
He struck out seven, increasing
his league-leading total to 148.
The 13-game victory streak
left Ford only one short Of the.

He did not start Friday, the
round that was washed out.
After a couple of routine pars
today Barber holed a 30-footer
for a birdie three on the treach-
erous third hole and tapped
in a 10-footer for a birdie on
the fourth. He hit the trees off
the tee on the fifth, shortest
par four on the course, but
Salvaged a par with a 15-foot
putt.
Good Putting Helps
On the par three eighth he
had a 25-foot putt with at
least a three-foot break and
the bali took the long way
round and slipped into the cup.
1T was one of the finest puts
I've ever made" Barber said
after his round.
Out in 80, he made his only
bogey on the tenth, where he
was trapped. He came back
with a birdie deuce on the 11th
where he holed a 6-footer. He
was trapped on IL and 16, but
his putter saved him both
times. He pared the last seven
holes for his 81.
Both January and Sanders
were momentarily shaken by
tee shots that hit spectators
during their rounds. Sanders
drive on the 18th hit a bank
president in the head and
opened a cut that required two
stitches. January's drive was
headed for trouble on the 18th
when it hit a fan and bounded
into the fairway.
