Falls One Short

Wills fell one short. In his
l56th game, however, he got
his total up to 81. He added
seven more steals before the
year was completed.
Mays had a .304 batting aver
age, but the 31-year-old out
fielder did his usual crashing
when it counted most. He led
the league with 40 home runs,
scored 1870 runs and drove in
14l. 1t was Willie's eighth
inning homer in the final regu-
lar-season game that gave the
Giants a 2-l victory over Hous-
ton and brought about the PEN
nant tie with the Dodgers.
Then Mays hit two home
runs in the first game Of the
playoffs, and played a big part
in the Giants ninth-inning
rally Of the third playoff game
with a run-scoring single. Mays
was bidding for his second
MVP award. He was the win
ner in 1854, the last time the
Giants won the pennant.
Davis Leads League
Davis, only %, was the Dodg-
ers' most consistent hitter. He
led the league with a .346 bat

and drove in 1853 runs-the
highest RBI figure in the MI
since Joe Medwick's 154 for st.
Louis in 1887.
The 27-year-old Robinson
was runnerup to Davis in the
batting race with a .342 aver
age. He led the league in runs
scored with 1874. in doubles with
81 and in smuggling percentage.
He bombed 80 home runs and
drove in 1876 runs.
Drysdale's IS victories topped
the league, as did his 314 in

Wills becomes the fifth
Dodger to gain the award, and
the first since the club was
moved from Brooklyn to Los
Angeles after the 1857 season.
Other Dodger winners were

BEAUTY IN FLOWERS
Consider the Lily
And How 1t Grows
BY MRS. HERBERT H. GREeER

Provided that you have given
a lily bulb a favorable place in
which to live, you will surely
find that year after year this
spot will be filled with pure
beauty. There will be many
lilies in time, soon there will
be bulbs to give to your own
offspring and there will be
bulbs to give to your friends.
This miracle Of propagation
is an awesome revelation when
you think it through. Many
years after, this first bulb will
be still contained and living
through its offspring. The
fleshy growth which you put
into the ground may be gone,
but cells of these cells continue
to live with the identical
amount of chromosomes. These
always divide into half egg cell
and half pollen so that they
may reunite into the identical
offspring, the continuation of
the sheer beauty of a lily.
The hush of eternity pulls
at your heartstrings if you care
to look at your garden in this
way. Perhaps this is the rea-
son for the peace and content
ment which you feel so strongly
in this spot which you are
to tend. So many
of my friends, who showered
me with their garden surplus.

Abe Saperstein, commissioner
of the American Basketball
League. met with All-America
Jerry Lucas today and said he
is preparing to resolve the
problems confronting Lucas,
the Cleveland franchise and

Saperstein. having returned
from Buenos Aires earlier to-
day, said he met with Lucas,
Joe Hardy. Lucas advisor and
a Columbus (Ohio) realtor, and
George Steinbrenner, owner of
the Cleveland Pipers.
They came to me with their

I would work out everything
to the general satisfaction of
everyone. I want to say again
that the American Basketball
League will be operating next

Less than two weeks ago, the
ABL was repeatedly folding
after Steinbrenner had signed
Lucas, the three time ALL
America from Ohio State.
Steinbrenner with Lucas under
contract turned to the Nation
al Basketball Association for
admittance Of his team.
However, earlier this week
the MIA refused Cleveland
membership in its league an
nouncing that it would not ex-
pand beyond its current nine

This sent the Pipers heading
back to the ABL. with all par
ties agreeing that Lucas was
free of all contract OBLIGATIONS
and the National Basketball
Association. with Cincinnati
holding draft rights to Lucas,
entering the bidding for the
Buckeye star.
Saperstein. meanwhile, said
the ABL would again operate
and Lucas said "all things be
EQUAL" he would again sign
with the Pipers but not before
listening to all offers.
This brought Lucas, Stein

1O,OOO-Seot Grid Plant
Proposed for Foirfox

Plans for a football stadium
seating 10000 at one of the
proposed Catholic high schools
in Fairfax County could be the
answer to the current dilemma
caused by the lack of facilities
available to the Metropolitan
Catholic League.
Attorney George M. Clam
mittorio of Alexandria, who
represented the $4,000 Cath
ole residents of Alexandria
before the City Council recent
ly to request a special use per-
nit to build a Catholic high
school in the city, has ex-
pressed concern about the lack
OF facilities in the Washington
area for Catholic League foot
ball games.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-08-05

The Alexandria school had
to alter its plans for a lighted
athletic field because of pro-
tests from residents in the
Cambridge road and Duke
street area. Giammittorio said
the school may try to use
George Washington High
Schools stadium for its foot
ball games.
Giammittorio said the Alex
andria school is only a stop
gap," because other Catholic
schools are planned in Fairfax
County. one in the Groveton
area and another near Wen
ma.
The attorney said tn a t
thought would be given to con-
structing a stadium seating
10000 at one of the Fairfax
schools to accommodate Cath
olic League games. He added
the program would be long
because immediate funds
are unavailable for such an
undertaking.
The Alexandria school, de-
signed for an enrolment of TOO
boys, is being built on approx
nately 111a acres and will have
no room to expand.
Such a stadium would solve
the problem of the Metropoli-
tan Catholic League. which is
waging a battle at present to

Coach Joe Gallagher of

forts.
But Gallagher and the Cath
Ollie League have been sty-
mied by the legal aspects of
the proposal. The Corporation
Counsel currently is studying
the problem, but no solution is
expected for some time.
The Catholic Leagues prob
lem was caused by the closing
of Griffith Stadium and the
prohibitive cost of the new

Gallagher.
