Forty-two year old Warren Spahn Is the greatest pitcher in the
major leagues. That is the best way to describe the Milwaukee
Braves ace lefthander for superlatives, no matter how lavish would
be inadequate.
The ageless southpaw, one of thirteen men to win better than
three hundred big league games is presently embarking on his
eighteenth year as an active major league pitcher.
WARREN
SPAHN
The hawk nosed southpaw may
have proved to be the games's all
time wlnningest pitcher had it not
been for a three year army hitch
which came at the beginning of his
rookie year.
To date Spahn has won the amaz
ing total of 330 big league tilts, in
cluding no less than 12 twenty win or
better seasons.

Last season when Spahn’s victory
total dipped to 18, it marked the first time in seven years that he
was under the magic 20 mark.
To bewildered National League hitters it seems that Spahn has
been out there winning games for a hundred years. It hasn't been
quite that long but Spamie has been notching wins since most of
the present day NL rookies were born.
IT TOOK Spahn 16 years to notch his first no-hitter but when he
did, he did it big. Just three months and three starts after silencing
the bats of the Philadelphia Phillies, Spahnie balnkedthe powerful
San Francisco Giants 2-0 via his second no-hitter.
Sphan has been around a long time. He has seen many players
come and go, and yet he has weathered the storm. He has survived
the annual tenseness and intense big league conditioning program
that major league ballplayers go through each spring.
Sphan has not loafed through the drills, as many veterans might
tend to do. He has driven himself, because, like the dedicated ball
player he is, he knows that in the long run the conditioning will
pay off.
IT IS not money that keeps Warren Spahn in baseball. It is pride.
Pride in him -elf, his club and the sheer joy of playing ball. He is
the highest paid pitcher in the game at $55,000, yet the money is
of littl. importance.
The crack portsider has worked hard to gain the prestige that he
now holds. Year in and year out he leads not only the Milwaukee
club, but the NL in innings pitched, and is among the top hurlers
in the other vital categories.
Since his entrance to the big leagues, some twenty-one years
ago Sphan has led the NL pitchera in every department at least
once. He has won the earned run title twice, the strikeout title,
posted the most victories, had the best percentage, toiled the
most innings, appeared in the most games, and won the CY Young
award as the major leagues outstanding pitcher.
All this from a gangling lad of 6' who tried to make the club
as a first baseman, but was rejected because of his size. Still not
too big at 175 lbs. Sphanie does not try to overpower the hitters,
iiis good live fastball is practically gone, and Spahn, realizing
this, has turned to the knuckler and screwball.
HIS pickoff move to first is a sight to behold. It is perhaps the
greatest in the history of the game. The Oklahoma native is a
gutty pitcher who will challenge you, and match wits against you
when you are up in the box.
Age is no handicap, Just as a load of shrapnel in his leg has been
no handicap these past twenty years. A hero both on and off the
field, Spahn copped a number of distinguished service medals and
a purple heart for bravery beyond tha call of duty during his ser
vice hitch.
IN WORLD series competition Spahn has proved to be every bit
as tough as he In NLpiay. In the *38 series he won two games, one
a dazzling two-hit shutout over the Yankees.
He is no slouch afield or at bat either. In that same *58 series
he drove in three runs and hit an astounding .333.
A battler in every sense of the word, Warren Spahn is a pro's
pro, a man respected not only by his teammates but by his adver
saries as well. How long car. Spahn last? Who knows? He has been
said to have been washed up many teams by so called experts but
each time has bounced back to prove them wrong.
Sphanie defies father time constantly and the perennial 20 game
winner seems well set in 1963. Each year Spahn and father time are
pitted against each other. So far Warren has emerged victorious
on every count. He has made no plans of retiring and does not plan
on doing so in the near future. This year he has won three of his
first four starts, including the 56th shutout of his career, tops

WASHINGTON, D.C. (RNS) —
Nuns teaching retarded children
at the Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy
Institute here have found that
children with low I.Q.'s can
learn things readily If they arc
taught by means of colored
slides projected on the wall.
The sisters refer to it as the
"Naval Academy" method of
teaching because they are using
the same kind of projector and
equipment found useful at Anna
polis in teaching young naval
cadets the strategies of defense.
WHILE retarded children in
their teens will sit still and
concentrate for only four or
five minutes at a time on child
ren’s books, they will listen and
watch attentively as long as 25
or 35 minutes at a slide lecture.
Sister Joseph Mary, director
of the institute — endowed by
President Kennedy’s family and
named for his older brother who
died during World War II — said
the method may revoluntionize
the teaching of mentally handi
capped children.
Many retarded youngsters
have been given only basic man
ual training in the past, she
said., Without some academic
grounding, they fail to establish
normal contacts with their
fellow workers when they do get
a job out in the world.
"THEY simply have nothing
to talk with them about,” she
explained.. "So although they
may have learned their trade
well, they are usually the last
to be hired and the first to be
fired."
The nuns have succeeded in
teaching a class of 35 handi
capped children a course in so
cial science and geography. All
now know where Cape Cana
veral is and what is going on
there. With this background,
they can watch TV and kfeep up

BISHQP ASSERTS
CLAREMONT, N.H. -NC—A
Catholic bishop told an Epis
copal Church convention here if
a single authority to speak for
all Protestant faiths could be
achieved it might be possible
to work out a doctrine of mu
tual agreement between Pro
testants and Catholics.
Bishop Ernest J. Primeau af
Manchester told some 200 dele
gates and their wives at the
161st convention of the Episco
pal Diocese of New Hampshire
that because there Is no such
authority, "difficulties from the
Roman (Catholic) point of view
contribute to the difficulties
of Christian unity at the pre
sent time."
THE FIRST Catholic prelate
to address an Episcopal Church
gathering in this state said:
"Unity today for all Christian
ity is the crucial problem. Di
vision had had serious effects,
Christian disunity is contrary’
to the will of God.
"Any Christian worthy of the
name must deplore disunity and
do what he can to stitch the
pieces together," Bishop Pri
meau said. "Ecumenity can
be obtained only through the
grace of God and only through
our own frail attempts."
Episcopal Bishop Charles F.
Hall of New Hampshire, who
introduced Bishop Primeau
(May 10) to the convention,
praised the Catholic prelate for
his work in this state and at
the Second Vatican Council in
Rome.
THE HISTORIC religious
event coincided with the 100th
anniversary of the founding of

here, where the first priest
was the son, converted to Ca
tholicism, of the then rector of
Union Episcopal church in West
Claremont.
Bishop Primeau told the con
vention the presence of non-
Cathollcs at the Vaction council
was "of prime importance in
the ecumenical movement."
He said the non-Catholic ob
servers at the council "had
access to every document 1 had
access to—they had better seats
than I—and they enjoyed social
contacts we didn’t have."
He called upon the convention
delegates and all Protestants
to pray for the leader of the
ecumenical movement, His
Holiness Pope John XXIII. Bis
hop • Primeau said the Second
Vatican Council is "not, per
se, a council of reunion, but
it already has done much to
promote better relations be
tween Christians" and is a re
flection of the attitude of Pope
John.
"'Hie foundations of the ecu
menical movement," the Ca
tholic prelate said, "must be
laid down by scholars. Pro
fessors should be asked to cross
religious lines. Unity is not
a search for compromise."

The institute is now aband

It may also help teachers write
texts that will appeal to handi

make their way in other schools.

FOR PAROCHIAL PUPILS
Blanchard Agrees
On Auxiliary Aid

university park,pa. (NC)
— Paul Blanshard conceded in
a debate here that auxiliary
services may legally be pro
vided by government to children
in parochial schools.
The writer and lecturer
known for his attacks on the
Catholic Church conceded that
the Federal school lunch pro
gram, medical services to chil
dren in parochial schools and
tax-paid bus rides are constit
utional "as the law now stands."
BLANSHARD debated with
William B. Ball, a Harrisburg
attorney prominent in Church-
State discussions, before an
audience at Pennsylvania State
University.
Blanshard characterized the
issue of Federal aid to church-
related education as involving
"nothing more than the question
of whether the public is to sup
port the Catholic Church."
But he did acknowledge the
legitimacy of Federal college
scholarships which a student
can use at a church-related in
stitution.
In the two-hour discussion,
sponsored by the University De
partment of Education Services,
Blanshard charged Catholic sc
hools are frequently of second-
rate quality and create a "div
isive mentality" in graduates.
HE PEPPERED his remarks
with allusions to "thought con
trol in Catholic schools,”
"hierarchial domination,”
"Jesuitical legerdemanin,” and
"Franco-loving teachers.”
Ball, in reply said that if
Blanshard’s charges are true,
Catholic school graduates must
be monsters who should be kept
out of the area of public res-
ponisbillty. He called Blan
chard's caricature of the sc
hools "absurd.”
"K the Catholic schools are
what Mr. Blanshard says they
are, if the Catholic hierarchy
is the frightening power bund
which he says it is, if the Cat
holic teachers are the Tyrants
he describes them to be, then
theproduct of the Catholic sc
hools must be a moral and so
cial monster.
"BUT THE absurdity of this
caricature is plainly revealed
when you look to your Catholic
neighbor, your Catholic asso
ciate at work or Catholics whom
you kenw in the service.
"Thinking of the latter point,
if Mr. Blanshard is right, then
Catholics should be excluded
from the draft and from every
other area of public responsi
bility," he said.
