PAGE 6 GEORGIA BULLETIN THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1963 IN BASEBALL Catholic Profiles EY RONDEL 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. r HYBERT/) Jy/tb ff COMPANY • PUNTING 1/ Tlinily 5-4727 550 FORREST ROAD, N.

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: "Acting on the principles set forth in my pastoral letter of Lent, 1961, on racial justice, effective September 1, 1963, Catholic children, regardless of FIRST MEETING race or color, will be admitted to Catholic schools of the Dio cese of Savannah. "ALL parents may enroll Ca tholic children in parish schools previously open to Negroes, or in the school of the territorial parish where they now reside.

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. stantly in my prayers. At the 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." Chatham County (Savannah) Catholics have nine elementary schools and three high schools, with a total enrollment of over 4,000. One of the high schools and three elementary schools have been for Negroes under the previously segregated sys tem. The Negro enrollment is 1,000. -jU&til County public schools are under a federal court order to integrate at least one grade during the next school year. . , rtf pi Ku 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 Richard Baker Teacher Of Year Richard F. Baker, a member of St. Joseph’s Parish, Mari etta, has been named "Teacher of the Year” by the students of Marietta High School. In addition, the senior yearbook, the "Olympian,” was dedicated to Mr. Baker, who heads the school’s Latin Department. Baker, who lives in Marietta, is a graduate of Springhill Col lege, Mobile, Alabama. id nr!x ■ • ■ * ‘ *„Ui 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. The feast is June 24, and the DIFFERENCES. .IGNORED’ 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 sure”, Cardinal Tisserant said, "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. "We are ready, Most Bles sed Father—the cardinals resi dent in Rome and the cardinals 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. Today’s tribute of good wishes is meant to convey our bould- less dedication. Most Blessed Father, a long and happy life!” CARDINAL Tisserant recall- POPE STANLEY I? ST.

They were saying Sun Musial, St. Louis' and all base ball’s beloved veteran, was a leadpipe cinch to be die next pope. And the reason they were advancing was this—Sun Mus ial is the oldest Cardinal I ed that he and other cardinals had presented good wishes to Pope John XX1I1 before the feast of St. Joseph last March. Pope Paul replied that the two Saints—John the Baptist and Paul the Apostle—"really de scribe almost programmatical ly the effort that We are mak ing to announce Christ to the world, and which for me be comes so much more binding.” He said he was "deeply mov ed” by the good wishes of the 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- tions to the point of suffering, and who have had in the years preceding this moment exper ience of the immense needs, of the great and dramatic prob lems of the modern world in which the Church is perform ing its mission, I feel not only gratitude for the wishes ex pressed to me but the need, most eminent cardinals, for the continued support of your trust, of your forbearance, of your prayers.” DURING the cardinals’ obe dience, the Pope left the throne to meet cardinals who would have had difficulty mounting the stairs: Clemente Cardinal MK cara, Vicar General for Pope Paul for the City and District of Rome; Maurilio Cardinal Fossati, Archbishop of Turin, Italy: and Francesco Cardinal Bracci and Francesco Cardi nal Morano, both members of the ....Vatican administrative sta^f.

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.
