All Youths Score

Pat was first in Livestock
Demonstration in the state
and won the trip to Chicago.
Then, since only one entry
is allowed to represent each
state, Pat competed against
the 2-boy team from Coving-
ton County which had receiv-
Ell first place honors III team
competition, she won the
right to represent her state
in this category at the Chi
cago Exposition. At the same
time, by winning state hon.
ors she won a trip for her
coach, Mr.. Tucker. The team
from Covington County gave
a demonstration on handling
cattle at a corral.
Miss Stacks exhibition at
State was a potent demon
stration on livestock bruises
entitled, Easy Does It." It
consisted of slides, charts and
handling of a piece of real
meat with bruises on it. She
effectively demonstrated how
bruises on livestock cost the
producer money and her talk
centered on livestock con-
servation by better handling.
Mr.. Tucker is confident the
Holmes County girl can win
a blue ribbon in Chicago at
the Exposition.
Pat is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Tommy Slack.

belong to the Baptist denOmi-
nation.
We Baptists have a long
history of fighting for reli-
gious convictions and freedom
- so it can be said with as
surance Baptist leaders would
not approve the ruling with
out good reason.
The statement signed by
these UNCONVENTIONAL leaders
included the president of the
Southern Baptist Convention,
DR.. Herchel H. Hobbs, pastor
of First Church in Oklahoma
City. 1t reads as follows:
"We are in agreement with
the Supreme Court that it
is neither sacrilegious nor
anti-religious to say that each
separate government in this
country should stay out Of the
business of writing or sane
tioning official prayers and
leave that purely religious
function to the people them
selves and to those the peo-
pie choose to look to for re-
ligious guidancel"
"We call upon the Ameri-
can people to study this de-
cision prayerfully and with
out political emotion. We be-
lieve the courts ruling
against officially written and
officially prescribed prayers
protects the integrity of the
religious conscience and the
proper function of religious
and governmental institu-
TONS"
Others who signed the state
ment included the past presi-
dent of the Baptist World AL
lance, Theodore F. Adams,
pastor of First Church in
Richmond, Va; Edwin A. Tul-
Ter, general secretary, Ameri-
can Baptist Convention, Val
ley Forge, Penn; Edwin T.

Mississippi may we'll take
pride in the fact that we are
fourth from the bottom on the
list of serious crimes commit
ted in the United States on a
population percentage basis.
The national serious crime
rate is 1000 per 100, 900 popu-
lation-which is far too high.
But the rate in Mississippi
is 461 per 100000 population,
an increase of % over the pre-
vious year.
And some figures recently
publicized showed a substan-
tial increase in crime in Jack
son, especially among juve-
niles, in the past ten years.
No, we should not take
lightly our crime rate.
The three states which had
fewer crimes than ours were
North Dakota, New Hamp-
shire and West Virginia.
A personal letter to the
writer from ]. Edgar Hoover
(see letters to the editor col
umn) said he believes crime is
a twin evil of communism
and can be successfully over
come when all citizens be-
come convinced "of the ines
timable value of our Ameri-

SOME GUYS JUST CUT IT in certain
cities. Willie Mays was stamped out New
York" In San Francisco they've never
really appreciated this great one Leo Du-
rocher is Brooklyn and Bobo was Washing
ton.
Bucky Harris had the Capital at his
feet in 1924, when he led the Senators to
their first and only world championship.
But Bucky's town should have been New
York over the long run. This was q cold,
calculating, brainy ball player who would
have been placed on pedestal along with
frankie Frisch.
Harris was all business, chilly pro.
Newsom was a clown type. Broadway is
spilling over and jaded with comics. New
York would have loved Harris Can you
imagine Bucky playing second base in his
strangely wooden but beautifully effective
style? And managing, too2 outmaneuver-
ing the great John McGraw, which he did
in the "a Series? Telling off Babe Ruth2
BUT THERE CAME THE DAY when
Bobo, unfortunately, drew the inevitable
bead on the Yankees. The Senators were
in seventh place and Newsom's feet were
itching again. He'd never worn the Yankee
pinstripe.
Joe McCarthy's already on record"
Bobo was told He said he wouldn't give
you locker II you came free"
Newsom's eyes lighted with the chal-
lenge. "Ill be Yankee" he predicted.
You're 40 years old. not counting what
you cheated" his pal protested
Leave OIL Bobo handle IT," Newsom
said. And, sure enough, Mccarthy was gone
by ls47, and Harris, already long exposed TO
Newsom during their multiple tours Of duty
in Washington, wound up with the big guy
On waivers from Washington.
1T WOULD BE NICE TO CONCLUDE
that Bobo won the pennant that season Of
AZ. The truth is that Newsom wasn't
great deal Of help, although the Yankees
won the flag and his record was ll-il.
Harris used him twice In the World Series
with Brooklyn and Bobo was bombed
Something like 1920 ERA for 2i5 innings.
But almost nothing lessened Newsom's
status In Washington. The cookies crum-
bic that way. There are Bluffs who better
remember the Redskins, coached by Ray
Flaherty in 1897, than today's guy, Bill
McPeak.
This is no rap at McPeak. He probably
is just as capable as Flaherty, maybe more
so. But people are funny. They remember
Flaherty, but they can forget McPeak
And they remember Bobo Newsom

SOME ATHLETES ARE SHAPED by
destiny for certain cities Bobo Newsom was
meant for Washington. He had to be,
else why five different terms at old Grit
fifth Stadium? The late Bobo kept coming
back periodically after his debut in 1885
and until 1852.
This is by way Of last hurrah for
Bobo, who occupied a special niche in our
town. The local bluffs loved the guy. New
som wasn't the pitcher that Walter John
son had been-nor as effective over a
season as Dutch Leonard when his muckler
was darting like butterfly-but he owned
Washington.

Newsom talked, II gotta hankering to play

"You Just can't say you're going to play
for this or that club" came the protest.
THE Senators paid lot Of money for you
:. and, besides, you're winner"
"oh, It amt gonna be permanent"

That's what I wanted 10 hear" Bobo
