THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1963 GEORGIA BULLETIN PAGE 3 IN BASEBALL Catholic Profiles BY RONDEL Cincinnati's ‘61 National league champs have been unable to get untracked so far this season and the main reason is Frank Robinson. The old saying, “as Robinson goes, so go the Reds/’ is cer tainly proving to be true. Thus far, the Rhinelanders slugging flyhawk is off to the slowest start of his career. A notorious slow starter, Robbie came on strong last season and almost won the batting title. He swatted .342, smashed 34 homers and a career and team high of 51 doubles. By no standards is that a meager effort, yet Robbie has done better. In his rookie year Frank connected for 38 round trippers to tie a long standing NL mark held by Wally Berger. In view of all his accomplishments and successes Frank Robinson might be pictured as a contented, happy ballplayer. But he is not. He even threatened to retire, following the *62 season. Why? Few people realize the ex treme pressure that the ballplayer is under, especially a star like Rob- inSon. He is expected to carry the Reds. When he slumps, so does the club. He is under pressure to produce every time he comes to the plate with runners on base. Crosley field fans recognize big #42 as their bread and butter man. They pay to see him play and they pay to see him produce. In 1961 Frank produced and produced big. So big that he led the Reds to the National League pennant and into the World Series. That the Reds bowed to the Yankees in the fall classic is of small consequence. That they even got into the series was astonishing. That season Frank averaged .323 while participat ing in all but one game for the Reds. He also chipped in with 37 circuit clouts and 32 twobaggers. A graduate of McClymonds high school in Oakland, as is his teammate and closest friend, Vada Pinson, Robinson is enter ing his seventh year of major league play. A versatile player, Frank can play first base, the outfield or thirdbase with a great amount of skill and consistency. He'd rather play in the outfield but says, “I'll, play whereever I can help theclub most," He stands 6'1 and weighs a proportionate 186, not except ionally big measurements, but he possesses enough power to hit the ball out of any park in the majors. Already, he is well on his way to becoming the greatest home- run hitter in Redleg history. So far he has rocketed 236 balls out of sight and has knocked in over 700 rbi’s. He is no stranger to AL twirlers either. He hits them with equal authority and even less compassion. In the ‘59 all-star came he collected three hits off some of the best chuckers in the AL. Frank is a quiet, retiring fellow. The type who'd rather play with an injury, than create a big fuss about it. He makes his home in Cincinnatti both during the season and afterwards. Never an instigator, but slow to retreat from danger, Robin son has been in his share of beefs during his career. Undoubtedly the most memorable one occured in *61 with Milwaukee third- baseman Eddie Mathews. Robbie slid hard into third and was the recipient of an unusually hard tag by Mathews. Words were exchanged between the two players and before anyone knew it fists were flying. Robbie decked Mathews with a wild haymaker and the Brave blaster wound up nursing a busted jaw in the hos pital. Robbie returned to play in the second game, but visited Mathews immediately after the game. Robinson’s stance at the plate is a very unusual one. He crouches over the plate and dips his big (36 oz.) bat over his right shoul der. His head and shoulder are practically directly over the plate and as a result he is hit quite often with errant pitches. In fact, he hasled the NL in being his three of the last five years. Not quite yet 28 years old, the Rhileander rightfielder has a lot of good years ahead of him. His biggest problem may have already been solved. He has resigned himself to the fact that he must accept the pressure that Is placed on him. Being able to stand up straight under it is a mark of greatness.

THE numerous public pro nouncements made subsequent ly by the then Cardinal Monti ni further demonstrate an open, charitable, yet realistic ap proach to what he called “the very difficult and complex ques tion.’’ Shortly after Pope John an nounced his intention of con voking the council, including among its purposes a “loving in vitation to unity with the Church," Cardinal Montini said: “A great hope is ignited in the Church. Bless him who has given us this joyous light!” Immediately after his elec tion as the successor of Pope John, Pope Paul announced to the world that the late Pope’s dying wish would be the program of his pontificate. On the day af ter his election, Pope Paul re ceived the third ceremonial ob eisance of the cardinals who elected him. Then, from the Sistine chapel, he broadcast his first radio message to the world, saying: "OUR pontifical service will be dedicated to continuing with every effort the great work be gun with so much hope and hap py promise by Our predeces sor, John XXIII: the fulfillment of that 'Ut unum slnt'—that they may be one—awaited so by all, and for which he offered his life. “The common aspiration oi reestablishing unity, so pain fully broken in the past, will find in Us the echo of a fervent will and of sincere prayers, in the consciousness of the of fice committed to Us by Jesus... “We open Our arms to all those who glory in the name of Christ. We call them by the sweet name of brother. Andmay they know that they will find in us constant understanding and good will, that they will find in Rome their paternal home which exalts and values with new splendor the treasures of their history, their cultural patri mony and their spiritual herit age." THIS could have been Pope John himself speaking, and it should have been encouraging to anyone who suffered a moment's doubt as to what would be the mind of Pope John's successor. But long before this, as Cardi nal Montini, Pope Paul spoke in detail on the prospects of Christian unity. Speaking at Mendola Pass, Italy, to a group of Italian in tellectuals on August 16, 1960, Cardinal Montini was long in hopes but short in optimism. After indicating the problem of “the recomposition in the unity of the Church of the dissident brothers," he said: In that discourse he gave full endorsement to the invitation uttered by Pope John in his first encyclical, Ad Petri Cathe- dram: MONTREAL, Que. (RNS) — The growing participation of Roman Catholic Church leaders in the Christian unity move ment was lauded by an Angli can bishop at the World Con ference on Faith and Order here as the “greatest deve lopment in recent years" in the religious world. Addressing the World Council of Churches" theological study meeting, Bishop Oliver Tom kins of Bristol, England, cited also the unity efforts of the late Pope John XXIIL “IN the voice of Pope John we heard the voice of the Roman Catholic Church speaking with a new accent," he told some 500 churchmen and theologians from Anglican, Protestant and Orthedbx bodies around the world. Noting that five Catholic ob servers and 15 guests were pre sent at the meeting, Bishop Tomkins said: “Just as we rejoiced at the courtesy which was extended to the non-Catholic observers at the Second Vatican Council, so we rejoice now that we have the opportunity in some small way also to extend our courtesies to the Roman Catholic observers who are among us." The bishop declared that al though in the Catholic Church there are “certain dogmatic af firmations" on which there can be no compromise, “it is now true that the Catholic Church engages in a living dialogue with the rest of us in a way that is quite unprecedented." “THERE was always a cer tain unreality in the discussion of Christian unity," he contin ued, “when the largest single communion in Christendom was' not effectively a partner to the discussion. “The world itself has to face some difficulty about what is to be its relationship to a body of Christians, however large, who are not members of the fellow ship in the same sense as are the member Churches (of the WCC)." Bishop Tomkins suggested that new ways be found "in tht context of our membership in the World Council” for coope ration with Catholic theologians “in the specific Faith and Or der activities.*' The WCC includes 201 Pro testant, Anglican, Orthodox and Old Catholic bodies. Present at Its 1961 Assembly in New Del hi, India, were five official ob servers from the Catholic Church. The presence of the Catholic observers at the con ference here, however, marked the first time that such repre- aenatives have attended a world-wide Faith and Order meeting. Bishop Tomkins observed that Faith and Order should take a “much more responsible interest in the many move ments towards actual organic union which are developing in various parts of Christendom." BUT he warned that it would be “calamitous if it were sup posed that Faith and Order were some kind of supra-church tri bunal before which unity sche mes were put on trial." “The negotiations of local unity," he continued, “are es sentially a matter for which the Churches concerned must ac cept full responsibility them selves.
