Japan Role
RH Tha Associated Press

japanese Ambassador Ryuji
Takeuchi said today that if
Japan fails in her attempt to
make democracy work 1t will be
IAN invitation to communism,
not only for Japan but for
many Of the new, developing
nations"
In a speech prepared for a
National Press Club luncheon,
the diplomat said Japan's pri-
mary contribution to the free
world is to demonstrate the
economic and social benefits of
democracy and a free economy.
IF Japan, with scarce nat
ural resources and an outsized
population, can continue to
develop O system of free and
democratic institutions, we will
provide a powerful beacon to
help light the way to political
progress and prosperity for
many other countries" he said.
Mr.. Takeuchi gave assurance
that Japan will certainly con-
tinue to play q positive role
In world affairs, especially in
helping to bridge the gap be-
tween the developing countries
and the advanced countries
between the HAYES and the
havenots, between East and
West"
He predicted that the cur
rent differences between Com
munist China and the Soviet
Union. and the signing Of the
limited nuclear test ban treaty
by the United States. Britain
and the Soviet Union. will have
q far-reaching effect on jap
anese politics. ..
These events mark q new
trend in the international sit
uation, which necessitates q
reappraisal Of existing political
concepts by the Japanese peo-
pie in general. and In particu-
lar by the intellectual and
working classes, who tend to
leftist views" Mr.. Takeuchi
said.

to his left and rambledS 30
yards.
Out for Redemption
1t was fairly obvious from
the start that Brown, goat of
the Browns 1915 loss to the
Redskins last year, was out
to redeem himself. Jackson's
tumble, recovered by Sam
Tidmore on the Washington
%, brought Brown into action
earlier than anticipated, but
he was ready.
On the first play he made
IA yards at left end, then four
more at right end. Ken Webb,
formerly with the Lions, made
a yard at guard before Ryan
fired a courtyard touchdown
pass to Bob Crespino.
The remainder of the
Browns points, sort Of like
odd change thrown into the
collection box, were contrib
uted by old Lou Groza, who
kicked field goals of AZ. "a

to rub it in with a 52-yard
boot that was partially blocked.
He also missed from the 40.

that we had to have Ward in the deal
Another factor in our favor was that Balti-
more already had Brooks Robinson"
Pete always had been the property of
the Orioles, starting in 1858 when he was
signed to Vancouver contract Charlie
Metro, who once had designs on the Oriole
managerial job, helped to sign him. Now
Metro works for the White Sox.
Charlie gave us good reports on Ward"
Short said He was high on the kid"
High is right" Lopez agreed. Metro
told me: Ward might end up as your
cleanup hitter In his first year couldn't
believe it, but it happened"
NOW WARD, NEAR THE batting cage
spoke up again.
Il started as a shortstop played a
lot of infield in the minors until last year,
when Baltimore told me to concentrate on
the outfield on account of having Robin
son."
"You changed your grip at bat, too"
he was cued. Pete used to hold his hands
we'll apart, q la Ty Cobb. who suggested
the hands-together grip"
II changed" Pete said II didn't have
a very good year in 81. The ball wasn't
going anyplace. With your hands apart
there's less power. They tell me that Cobb
used 10 slide his hands together at times"
Eyes, often in the late inings when the
score was close or tied" he was told. when
Cobb was going for the fence"
Pete nodded. That's what I heard"
he said. you sting the ball better"
WHAT WAS 1T LIKE as a kid in Port
land?" he was asked Didn't your dad
coach?"
"In the Western Hockey League" Ward
said, "but started playing baseball used
to pal around with jeff Baker, who is Terry
Bakers older brother. I was very friendly
with Terry too We played together as
kids"
"This is the Terry Baker who's the
Rams quarterback"
yeah, and he was a highlander
pitcher In baseball. Pitched right and
threw a football lefthanded. Darndest
thing, Terry couldn't pitch baseball left
handed and he couldn't throw forward
pass righthanded"
Some people say 1t will cost him, "
Pete was reminded. About the only left
handed pro quarterback TO make II big was
frankie Albert"
Maybe So" Ward said, with a shrug,
but I'm not worrying about Terry. He'll
make IT,"

them" but the Browns got too
far ahead to make it work.
Then the Washington club had
TO be careful and play it safe
for fear Of becoming completely
unglued and suffering an even
more humiliating defeat. As 1t
was, 37-l4 was bad enough.
The coach said the Redskins
only consistent play came on
the one, sustained touchdown
drive started near the end Of
the first quarter. But when
the Browns built their lead to
24-7 they had enough leeway
to take chances and "teed off,"
They killed Washington's line
hackers on offense, and on sew
eral occasions had five poten-
tial pass receivers downfield.
NOTES.-The only Redskin
casualty was Defensive Half
back Jim Steffen, who injured
his neck. Sam Tidmore,
who kicked Tackle Ed Khayat
in the groin on the opening
kickoff. was paid back with a
wrenched knee that may side
line him next week. Pat
Richter's punting debut was a
success. He averaged a
fraction over As yards. q.
Gary Collins kicked only once
for the Browns .-ATCHISON

We've been fortunate in the
past. When we play a bad game
we turn around and beat some
one pretty good" said Los An
geles Manager Walt Aston.
II can't think optimistically
or pessimistically about the
pennant race. When you meet
head on, anything can happen
regardless Of how good you're
going" said st. Louis Manager
Johnny Keane.
They said 1t yesterday after
the lines were drawn for the
beginning Of a three-game Sc
ries tonight at st. Louis be-
tween the first-place Dodgers
and second-place Cardinals
that may determine the Ma
tionaf League pennant winner
Beaten by Green
Aston said it following q
6-l loss to Philadelphia in
which three passed balls, a
couple of mental lapses and
the five-hit pitching of the
PhillieS Dallas Green left the
Dodgers with a mere one-game
lead over the surging Cardi-
mails.
Keane said it after Lew Bur-
dette's six-hit pitching anc
Ray Sadecki's five-hitter gave
st. Louis a 80 and SO double
header sweep of Milwaukee
That gave the Cards 10 straight
victories and 10 in 20 games
in their bid to overhaul Los
Angeles.
The Dodgers. who led BY
seven games on August 80
have IL games remaining. Tit
Cardinals, who have lost onl!
one game since August 30, havt
10 left. They're all even IL
victories, with st. Louis two

VIM LOSE OR ORA w
Here's One Conodion
Who Cont Play Hockey

PETE WARD TOOK his batting prac-
tice cuts at D. c. Stadium, stepped out Of
the cage, and ran smack into a question
that probably had familiar ring.
How is it," he'was asked that you
didn't wind up as a hockey player2"
The 24-year-old White Sox third base
man, who could well be the American
Leagues rookie of the year, said:
you mean because Of my dad? Well,
we moved from Montreal when I was 7
years old. was little too young to play
hockey, although could skate Still can.
But in Portland there wasn't any kid
hockey and so played baseball"
Pete's dad, Jim Ward, was real
hockey pro. He played II years for the
Montreal Maroons in the National Hockey
League. With that kind of paternal back
ground a Canadian-born kid almost GER
tainly would become hockey player.
Except, as Pete explained, his family
moved to oregon. ut was break for u.s."
Manager AL Lopez Of the White Sox con-
fesses.
LOPEZ, GENERAL MANAGER Ed Short
and the rest Of the Chicago cast think
that Ward should be the rookie Of the year.
We've got two Of the four contenders,"
Lopez points out. We've got Ward and
Gary Peters, although Jimmie Hall is going
to be tough to beat"
The White Sox rockies, plus Hall, Of
the Twins, and Max Avis of the Indians,
are the only possibles now that AL Downing
Of the Yankees has been ruled no first
year man.
Hall has hit more home runs thar
Ward" Short said, but Pete's out-batting
MIN, .2o4 to .267. Also, our guys got more
hits than anybody in the league and Is
second in total bases"
I'VE were lucky TO get Pete" said
Lopez, referring to the trade last January
In which Chicago sent Luis Aparicio and AL
Smith to Baltimore for Ward, Hoyt wilhelm
and Dave Nicholson. At the time many
critics conceded the Orioles the edge and
claimed that Aparicio and Smith would
mean the pennant.
THE STORY BEHIND the trade, which
now seems to favor the White sox, is no
great secret The Orioles not only needed q
righthanded oatfielder Smith but frankly
