him doin' his roadwork off Hains Point.
Then he goes to work in Mr.. Blanks auto
shop for eight hours Then he comes to my

Ambition like his you don't find no
more. All he talks about is being champion.
He can be it, too, II they'll fight him.
Onliest fight he lost was to Jones, and he
oughtnt to have taken that one. Still, 1t
took cut eye to give Jones the win. Maybe
you saw 1t on TV from the Garden"
THIS WAS LAST OCTOBER 20, when
Jones was to have boxed Fora Foley. But
Foley came down sick and Edwards took
the fight for his tiger with five days
notice.
II wanted two. three weeks to get i'm

grabs me and says:

II told him $4,000 from TV, plus 20

lick him." Foster speaks out. but somehow
he doesn't sound vain and boastful.
"You think you can outpoint him2' he
was asked
II think lean knock him out" Bobby
replied. Il had him out on his feet in the
third round in the Garden but It's a 10

Business Manager Joe Burke
Of the Senators today issued a
statement outlining special
preparations that have been
made to assure a safe and en-
joyable afternoon for all fans
who attend the seasons second
Knothole Club game Saturday
at D. c. Stadium.
The Kansas City Athletics
will tangle with the Senators at
2 pm. Saturday, and a turnout
of 5000 or more Knothole Club
members is expected. More than
$4,000 area youngsters, is years
old and under, hold member
ships in the club which is spon-
sored by the Senators and The
Star.
The first Knothole Club game
on April l3 drew 1895 club
m0mbers, plus a paid attend
ance of 9.047. After the game
clashes broke out among young
sters on the D. c. Stadium
ramps and in nearby areas out
side the stadium. Eighteen per-
sons reported injuries from as
saults by fists, sticks and other
weapons, and IL juveniles were
charged with assault or affray.
More Police Protection
To prevent a recurrance, the
ball club and the Metropolitan
Police Department have planned
greatly increased police protec-
ton for Saturdays game and
the 10 other games on the
Knothole schedule.
In addition, Burke is appeal
ing to parents to cooperate in
helping to keep children under
control. and he warns Knothole
Club members that they will
lose their privileges unless they
obey the rules of conduct.
In his statement, Burke said
that less than a dozen juven-
lie troublemakers" created the
problem at the first Knothole
game. He continued:

themselves in a sportsman like
manner.
THE Senators organization
is most interested in the Knot

is a splendid project for the
community. The Senators will
continue to do everything pos
ible to insure its success"
All members of the Knothole
Club sign a pledge to obey the
following rules: "As a member
of the Knothole Club I agree to
obey gate attendants and ush-
erS, to conduct myself in an
orderly manner and respect the
rights Of others. to refrain from
throwing anything on the play
ing field, and to make sure that
my membership card is not
used by someone else. If l vio-

that my card will be taken up"
Parents Invited
Last year there were more
than $1,000 Knothole members
and the season passed without
serious incident. However, at
tendants had to pick up the
cards of more than 100 young
sters who refused to behave.
Officials of the Senators want
the Knotholers to relax and en-
Joy themselves, but they insist
that the youngsters must stay
in the upper deck and quit
roaming, and all running on
the ramps must end.
There has never been any re-
quirement that youngsters must
be accompanied by adults. How

with himself, while John Tsi-
touriS took the longest warmup
in baseball history. And all
because Shag Crawford said a
four-letter word, balk.
The word touched off the
biggest on-the field dispute of
the season over the new game
of balkball as played in War
rem Giles National League. It
overshadowed a fine three
hitter pitched by Johnny Podres
in the Dodgers TO victory over
balky Cincinnati in Los Angeles
last night.
Balk calls have repeatedly
disrupted games under the new
strict enforcement of the rule
requiring a pitcher to stop for
a full second before delivering
the ball.
Last night they interrupted
play for about a half hour
during the second inning of the
Dodgers-Reds game.
The explosion came after
Plate Umpire Crawford, a
member of the now-famouS
Augie Donatelli team. called
two balks on Owens, the Reds
starter. enabling John Rose
boro to move from first to third
base. He scored on a single by
Willie Davis.
Bench Cleared
Then, pitching to Podres,
Owens twice paused unusually
long before throwing to the
plate. Crawford signaled a
warning. Owens stretched and
fired. Crawford yelled balk.
Owens yelled something else,
and towels and players made
their way out of the Cincinnati
dugout in equal numbers. At
the same time, Owens was
elected for injecting his COM
ments.
Donatelli, whose umpiring
team has called 80 Of the 81
balks enforced in the MI, then

Mickey Vernon hardly

this spring, at least-that Ed
Brinkman would be outhitting
all of the Senator'S infielders.
Last week Brinkman struck
out five straight times over a
two-game period and led the
club in that department. People
were asking Vernon why he
didn't use more pinch -hitters
for his shortstop in the late
innings.
Now Ed is on a tear. He hit
his first home run in 66 major
league games last night. He

Close Call in Fifth
Pascual famed IL, but the
Senators we're just about one
hit away from getting him out
of there in the fifth inning.
Three runs were in, runners
were on the corners and there
was only one out, with Chuck
Hinton the hitter.
However, Chuck popped to
short and Bo Osborne struck
out for the fifth straight time
and for the seventh time in
his last eight trips to the plate.
Thus Pascual survived the in
ming. The Senators didn't get
two hits in another inning un-
til Pinch-hitter Don Leppert's
single followed Brinkman's
homer in the ninth.
1t was Pascual's first victory
against three defeats and
Brinkman'S homer was the
sixth off him in four games.

would get a righthanded hitter
in the lineup in Osborne's
place.
Brinkman now has seven hits
in his last 16 times at bat
and he is hitting .275 for the
IL games. Ed, who appears to

! When Hutch had finished his
dissertation of balks and Tsi-

MODERN TELEPHONE SYSTEM IS HERE

MODERN, upto-date dial t~elephonng has come to
these islands. ana none too soon. The system IS now fully IN
stalled in St. thomas, and by the beginning of next month,
it viii come to st. Croix. This system has been long in coming,
but progress has a way OF not waiting tor time or tide, anu
refusing TO be s~idetracked, even by man.
NOWADAYS, people are travelling between the Virgin
Islands and the MAINLAND almost in .commuter style. After
all. one can ty from new York to these islands by Jet in less
time than a passenger can go from New York to Washington,
D. {. by tram. And the day may certainly come when a tull
hour Will be clipped from the tying time and schedules SO
made that a full round trip in any gwen day will be a distinct
possibility.
DIAL is so convenient and efficient
that one wonders how he got along with the other system. 1t
is faster, and so much superior that the comparison is almost
out OF the question. With business on the upsWlng, and tourism
increasing in leaps and bounds, an a~ntiquated telephone sys-
tenn was a morn in the flesh. The nwe system is therefore most
welcome.
NOT ONLY is the diaIing system good locally but it af-
fords limitIess possibilities for direct contact with New York
and other northern cities. In the United States people call
across country almost as frequently as they do within the
limits of any town. The world has shrunk, and the time was
fast approaching when we needed to improve a system Of
telephone communication.
WE o o forward to the system for St. Croix. Our only
only regret is that with all this modern telephone system, we
must still be burdened with msightly polls all over the streets.
It probably was not too difficult to have put these wires under

Many Industries Gambling
On Marriage, Birth Rates

Americans sare too changea-
BILE for any fashion in such
matters to be a fixed thing. A
squirt in general prosperity will
tend to keep marriage and birth
rates high, and a downturn in
the economy would tend to cut
both rates.
Beyond that there can be no
certainty how married couples
will feel about the relative de-
STABILITY of big or small fami-
lies.
The Census Bureau says
there has been a drop in the
last two yerrs In the number of
births per thousand women in
the child-bearing age groups
notably those in their twenties.
The totla of marriages is
sure to rise as toady's hordeS of
teen-agers reach their twenties.
The total Of births in the Unit
ed States undoubtedly will in
crease, too.
! But the thing that the bu-
siness and government PLAN
ners can't be as sure of as
many of them seem to be today
is the rate per thousand.
It is that marriage rate, that
birth rate, that will determine
how many more thousands of
children there will be to edu-
cate, families to feed, to house,
to clothe, ultimately to find
jobs for. 80
Maybe all the personal and
financial security devices writ
ten into the United States eco
nomy today will keep tomor-
rows young persons eager for
early marriages and large fam
lilies, as was the. case in the
postwar years. = 81
