years. At shortstop was Jack Barry, who
made 1t without pause from Holy Cross
and lasted II seasons.
Three Of Mack's best pitchers were COL
legians who didn't play in the minors.
Chief Bender 0903-1917 in the bigs) came
from Carlisle Institute. Jack Coombs Q906-
1920 reported directly from Colby. And
Eddie Plank G901-191D Joined the AS
from Gettysburg.
McGraw, who had invented the de-
risively- intended nickname Of White
Elephants" for the AS, also was to learn
that a collegian can make the leap. In
1919, when John J. was rebuilding his New
York Giants, he came upon his star player
for nothing.
ART DEvLIN, the old Giant third base
man who went to Georgetown, was coach
ing baseball at Fordham at the time 1--WE
got an infielder in school right now who
can play in the National League" he told
McGraw. Boy named frankie Frisch."
In his first II seasons as a regular the
Fordham Flash batted anywhere from 800
to .34S. He lasted IS years in all.
When George Sisler came out OF the
University OF Michigan in 1915 the manager
OF the st. Louis Browns, Branch Hickey,
had no qualms about pitching him Then
-as happened in the cases OF Babe Ruth,
Sam Rice and Stan Musial-he saw other
possibilities Sisler was shifted TO first base
and like Collins, Plank Bender and Frisch,
he Is enshrined in the Hall OF Fame
ONE OF THE MORE RECENT collegians
who made II all the way was Dick Groat
OF Duke, who joined the Pittsburgh Pirates
In 1852 and won Job Immediately, batting
.284 his first season. The next two years
we're spent In military service, which rarely
improves anybody's play, but in IS he was
back for eight distinguished campaigns
with the BUGS. Now he's Cardinal.
When Tom Brown accepted bonus 10
sign with the Senator'S farm at York OF
the Eastern League he was told by Mickey
Vernon on first day he reported 10 camp:
you may find Double-A ball little
fast :. at first"
I'D like that" Tom answered.
"There1l be an incentive TO catch up"
Now II is suggested that he may stick
with the Senator'S despite Osborne and the
possibility that Rogelio Alvarez will Join
the club before opening day. His reaction
basically remains the same: "I'd like that"
Whether It's the American or the
Eastern League this season for Brown-or
both-this much was ineontestable. The
young man was by far the most exciting,
most promising new talent OF the winter
spring.

Judging by mail bearing such Yankee-like

tinct reactions to young Tom Browns brief
reign as undisputed No. first baseman in
the Senator'S camp.
One school of thinkers decried the like

well to go along with the 22-year-old Uni

you know, rather than acquire some tired
hack simply because he had pro experience
Selkirk drove smack down the middle of
the road. He hasn't yet eliminated Rookie

when he purchased the experienced but
reasonably young Larry Osborne from the
Detroit Tigers

Brown will be farmed out" George says.
Fortunately, Osborne can play couple Of

They all hit jackpots.
Hughie Jennings, who managed the

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla,
April lit has been some
what unexpected development,
but after six weeks of spring
training the Senators have dis
covered that their three top
pitchers Of the moment are
lefthanders.
Claude Osteen went all the
way against the Cardinals at
Pompano Beach yesterday to
move in behind Don Rudolph
among the starters, and prob
ably clinch the April 10 assign
ment when the Senator's help
the Orioles open their season

Steve Hamilton, the lefthand-
ed relief pitcher who has been
the best Of the bullpen corps,
becomes a starter here today
against the Braves. However,
this is merely to give him
work. Manager Mickey Vernon
still wants Steve available for
relief, and hardly would want
three southpaw starters in a

pitch the opening game.

Prospering induStrialized
countries have need for Ameri-

better-healed citizens are at
tracted by American consumer
products. Less developed coun-
tries are making strides in the
same direction and American
businessmen are selling them

AS the American economy

ket here both for raw materials
from abroad that United States
industry needs and for foreign
finished goods that American
consumers want.
So in the ry-through-
September period imports ran
to an annual rate of SIT billion.
And Federal officials think the
demand will go on expanding.
United States exports hit an
annual rate Of $2.l9 billion in
the same period. And proSperi-
