Mercurial Luis Aparicio is, without a doubt the American
; League’s most outstanding and colorful baserunner.
Standing only 5*08, the 28 year old Baltimore shortstop has
1 perked up in '63 to the delight of the Oriole management who
traded away a bevy of proven ballplayers to acquire Luis
from the White Sox.
LAST season, while playing with Chicago, Aparicio was sub
jected to many pressures which hindered his effectiveness and
: caused his batting average to slip to a career low of .241
Luis, the American League’s
rookie of the year in 1956, led
the loop in stolen bases for six
consecutive years, including a
personal and White Sox record
of 56 in 1959. The diminuitive
shortpatcher is the junior cir
cuits answer to Maury Wills,
and though he may not steal as
many bases, he never fails to
; electrify the crowd each time he reaches base.
Like Wills, Luis possesses great speed, and is a dedicated
• student in the art of studying pitchers. As a fielder Luis has
no peer, including his National League counterpart. There is no
J ball that Luis cannot come up with and he owns one of the stron
gest arms in either league.
HE OFTEN makes the seemingly impossible play as evidenc-
; ed by his barehanded grab of a Unedrive over third base two
I years ago.
LUIS
APARICIO
A native of Maracaibo, Venezuela Luis, has collected better
than 1000 safeties during his seven year tenure in the AL, in-
; eluding more than 200 extra-basehits. On the field Luis is a
real pepperpot and the life of the infield, but off the field he is
1 rather quiet although he is quite a prankster in his own way.
A more determined ballplayer has never played the game, even
though Luis was severly criticized for lack of hustle on occasion
' last year.
HIS explanation of the events give quite a different opinion,
j and as he himself says, "I was criticized because I was expec-
1 ted to carry the ballciub and I was not doing it. But then how do
1 you expect a ieadoff hitter to carry a club. Even when I got on
5 base 1 had to wait for the green light from Lopez before I
could steal. This hampered my baserunning and on a number
' of occasions cost us ballgames. As for errors in the field, well
anybody can make them. If I made one at a crucial point I was
called a choke. They don’t seem to realize how many times 1
came through with the big play in the eighth or ninth inning of
the game”.
The change of uniform has been profitable for all concerned
up to now, as Luis has once again regained his position as the
king pin of the American League shortstops, and is hitting the
, ball for a good average.
UP UNTIL last year Luis made his home in Chicago, but he
is now renting a home in Baltimore and intends to buy a house
in the near future. He, his wife and two children seem content
with the Baltimore atmosphere and vice versa.
"We have been treated real good by the fans and players over
here” Luis said. This is the best place I could have been traded
Thus far this season Luis has been rough on his former mates
beating them once with a 10th inning homer.
There’ll be some surprised Chicago fans if Luis is chosen a
member of the 163 all-star squad.
During the off season the lithe 157 pounder keeps in shape by
playing winter ball in the Dominican Republic.

SAVANNAH DIOCESE
Integrates All Schools
The Bishop of Savannah has
ordered all Catholic elementary
and high schools in the diocese
integrated in a pastoral letter
read at all masses last Sunday.
Bishop Thomas J. McDonough’s
statement is as follows:

forth in my pastoral letter of
Lent, 1961, on racial justice,
effective September 1, 1963,

Archbishop Visits
Knights Of Columbus
Archbishop Paul J. Hallinan
made his first visit to the
Knights of Columbus in the
Greater Atlanta area when he
addressed Immaculate Heart of
Mary Council, 4420, last week.
More than 100 Knights headed
by M. Moscardelli, Grand
Knight, attended the meeting,
along with a representative
group of clergymen.
THE ARCHBISHOP prefaced
his talk by advising of his fond
childhood memories and recol
lections of his father, who was
a dedicated member of the
Order. This early exposure to
Columbianism affected him in
later years when he received
the first three degrees while
attending Notre: Dame Univer
sity as a student. As Bishop
Hallinan, he received the fourth
degree at Clarkston, South
Carolina, thus becoming a Sir
Knight.
The main theme of the Arch
bishop’s talk embodied his ex
periences while in Rome at
tending the Ecumenical Coun
cil, as well as the greatness
displayed through the humble
simplicity of the late Pope John
XXIII. Archbishop Hallinan also
dwelled on the fantastically
strong growth of Catholism in
the Atlanta area, the recent
survey of Catholic homes and
the brilliant future which lies
ahead.
Following a brief meeting of
Council 4420, a reception and
buffet was held in honor of His
Excellency.

meetings with priests and
teachers in all parts of the
diocese over the past few
months, they have concurred
unanimously with my decision.
"IN you, my dear people, I
repose in greatest confidence
that you will accept this course
of action as being prompted by
a love of God founded upon jus
tice and charity towards all
mankind."

CARDINAL SA-m
Rev. John P. Murphy C.SS.R.
for many years Pastor at Our
Lady of the Mount Church,
Lookout Mountain died on Sun
day.
Father Murphy was born in
Roxbury, Mass., Sept. 2, 1889.
He •, made his religious pro
fession as a Redemptorist at
Ilchester, Maryland on August
2, 1911. He was ordained to
the priesthood at Mount Saint
Alphonsus, Esopus, N.Y., on
June 7, 1916.
ALMOST all of his priest
ly life was devoted to preach
ing Missions and conducting
retreats for Laymen. Besides
his missionary activities
throughout New England, he was
Retreat Master at San Alfonso,
West End, N.J., and the Re
demptorist Retreat House at
Rochester, N.Y.
About 15 years ago, stationed
at Dalton, Georgia, Father Mur
phy came to Lookout Mountain
to celebrate Mass. He learned
that a former night club on
Scenic Highway was offered for
sale. Seeing the possibilities of
converting this building to a
spacious Church, he persuaded
his Redemptorist Superiors to
acquire the property. The very
devotional chapel, called Our
Lady of the Mount, stands as
a tribute to his zeal for the

Pope’s Name Declares His Goal
VATICAN CITY, (NC)—The
Dean of the Sacred College of
Cardinals told His Holiness
Pope Paul VI that his choice
of the name Paul seemed like
the "declaration (fa program".
Eugene Cardinal Tisserant
made the remark (June 22) dur
ing the third obedience, or
pledge of loyalty, which is given
to a new pontiff according to
custom on die day after his
election. Two earlier obedien
ces were made the day of the
election.
CARDINAL Tisserant was of
fering —also according to cus
tom—the good wishes of the
cardinals on the eve of the
feast of the Pope's baptismal
patron, St. John Baptist. (Be
fore taking the name Paul on
the previous day, the Pope was
called Giovanni Battista Card
inal Montini.) Cardinal Tisse
rant asked permission to an
ticipate the occasion by a day.

Free Lutherans Hit
Romeward Movement
FARGO, N. D. (RNS)—The
Association of Free Lutheran
Congregations voted at its first
annual conference here to op
pose what its president called
a "back-to-Rome" movement
among world Protestants.
It also opposed a drive for
one world church and criticiz
ed "neo-orthodox" teachings
about the Bible.
A proposal to explore possi
bilities of fellowship with the
National Association of Evange
licals, which shares its views
about the church unity move
ment and the Bible, was defeat
ed. However, officials said they
regarded the defeat as a post
ponement, not a final decision.
In his report, the Rev. John
Strand, Tioga, N. D., associa
tion president, warned that "the
fundamental difference between
evangelical Protestantism and
Catholicism is being forgotten,
or, worse still, being ignored.”
"Clever propaganda, in the
guise of tolerance, may be
rapidly setting the state for the
betrayal of Biblical truth,” he
added. "So-called 'tolerance*
is used as a weapon against
truth in all walks of life.”
Mr. Strand said that "theo
logical thought is in a turmoil
in America today” due to "neo-
orthodoxy,” which, he said,
"would make man’s mind a
judge over the written Word,
and reduce much of the Bible
to myths, history and stories.”
The association is composed
of about 60 congregations, most
of which were once in the form
er Lutheran Free Church but
did enter its merger with the
American Lutheran Church.
eve of the feast the 23rd.
"You gave us great plea

"in the choice of the name Paul.
"It appeared immediately to
us as die declaration of a pro
gram.
"THE epistle of yesterday’s
Mass of the Sacred Heart of
fered to us the human and real
words of the great Apostle
(Paul): 'To me, the very least
of all saints, there was given
this grace, to announce among
the Gentiles the good tidings of
the unfathomable riches of
Christ.*
"I thought then that Your Ho
liness, taking over the new task
of Servant of the Servants of
God, saw with joy the riches of
which you had become adminis
trator, the riches which the
Church has at its disposal: the
doctrine which reveals to all
the many-faceted wisdom of
God, the means which allow
men of good will to approach
Him with confidence.

scattered among the five con
tinents, all united with the C&alr
of Peter and with Your person—
to obey and collaborate truly
in the designs of Your Holiness.

is meant to convey our bould-

Father, a long and happy life!”

world, and which for me be

He said he was "deeply mov

sacred college.
"These wishes are most gra
tifying to me also because they
appear to be a confirmation of
the trust which the sacred col
lege placed in the last of it
members, the one who is about
to assume the grave task of
governing the Church,” he said.
"I who realize my limiu-

and who have had in the years
preceding this moment exper

the great and dramatic prob

which the Church is perform

gratitude for the wishes ex

the continued support of your

July Pledge
State Deputy, J. j. Zwick-
nagel of Decatur, announced
plans whereby the "Pledge of
Allegiance” to the flag of the
United States will be recited
over all radio and T.V. stations
in Georgia. The cooperation in
the form of a resolution has
been received from the Georgia
Association of Broadcasters,
which was adopted by their
board of directors and the en
tire convention at their annual
session on June 9th.
Mr. Zwicknagel stated that
this dynamic example of inte
rest in Americanism and pro
motion of patriotism is an idea
originated in Georgia through
the efforts of past State Deputy
Hugh Grady of Savannah and
adopted by the Georgia State
Council, Knights of Columbus
and all the subordinate coun
cils in Georgia.
This patriotic activity has
been endorsed and adopted by
the supreme council in New Ha
ven, Connecticut, and in turn by
all Knights of Columbus Coun
cils in the United States as a re
sult of the Georgia Knights. All
radio and T.V. stations in this
country are being asked to have
the "Pledge of Allegiance" re
cited at one specific time on
Independence Day, July 4th, so
that the Pledge may be brought
home dramatically to all Ame
rican listeners and viewers on
the birth date of these United
States of America.

SPOKESMEN OF MANY LANDS
Many countries, have paid tribute to the deep concern of our
late Holy Father Pope John XXIII for all men. This great
solicitude, expressed continually in
act and attitude during Pope John’n
reign, motivated’ him to the end, as
evidenced by those wonderful words
2 of lovc and benediction spoken during
vT*BuC i / «■ V» hi s last hours . . . Again -add again
he emphasized, lirmly despite failing
strength, that his messages -were - not
merely for those gathered about his
bedside, or even- for that vast throng
wailing in St. Peter's Square, but in
deed included all mankind.
. Particularly close to his heart were
the peoples and lands of the Near
East, whose ancient traditions and beautifnl rites Pope John
wished to make known and loved by all. He was indeed a
providential Patron for the CATHOLIC NEAR EAST WEL
FARE ASSOCIATION. Though officially under the direct in
spiration- of the Holy Father at all times, our organization
belonged to Pope John XXIII in a very special personal way.
In his memory we ask your prayers and continued help for
our work, that by assisting the missionaries, Children, refugees,
the poor, ^aged, sick and abandoned of Near East lands wc
may help bring to reality Pope John’s oft-repeated last petition:
"Ut omnes unum sint!”
FROM BETHLEHEM CONVENT, Mukkattukara, Kerala.
INDIA, Sister Emmerthina writes: “Dear Monsignor: Please
excuse me for troubling you. I am very much worried about
. . . our orphanage. Some of the children have coughs und
fevers but I have to pack them all in the same room ... So I
fear these infections will spread. My Sisters are wandering,
begging for money, but they get nothing . . . $4,000 is needed
for construction of a new orphanage, but the convent is already
in debt. And the people here are mostly day workers—masons,
carpenters, coolies—drawing small salaries and struggling hard
to earn their daily bread . . . Once again I come to the door
of your kind heart ... We do not know’ to whom else to appeal
We hope to find in you a loving father, a friend in need
and a benefactor to St. Mary’s Orphanage.” Wc need add
nothing to this moving appeal. Surely many of you are ready
to respond. Any amount of help will be welcome!
BELOVED DISCIPLE
APOSTLE OF THE SACRED HEART, to whom June Is dedi

Twenty-four years later, in 1066, two En-glish knights in the

the story of King Edward’s ring and asked them to return it

and go to Heaven . . . The mysterious pilgrim, history tells us,
