IN BASEBALL
Dodger-Yank Clash
BY RONDEL
Plans are being made for the richest World Series in history
as both the Yanks and their arch-rival National League coun-
terpar' Dodgers have made shambles of the once tight pennant
races.
The ancient adage “he who lives by the sword, dies by the
sword,” came to pass in modern day and was translated into a
proverb which aptly describes the woe of the downtrodden San
francisco Giants. The Giant condition might be described as,
“He who lives by the home run shall die by the homerun.
Alvin Darks charges, once very
much in the NL flag scramble found
themselves hopelessly mired in
third place behind the pitching rich
Dodgers and the surprising Cardi
nals. The Bay area nine suffered
defeat in five consecutive contests
due to lack of adequate relief pitc
hing in the late innings and were
the victim of opponents timely hom
ers in all five contests.
The San Franciscans slump enabled the hot Dodgers to open
in insurmountable gap over their nearest contenders, a gap so
large that even if the Los Angeiens duplicated their el foldo
fiiish of last season they'd still cop the flag.
On the other hand the Yankee's aregiclnga repeat performance
of the bame play that ran through the *62 season as they enjoy
another cakewalk.
Plagued by inquires throughout the campaign the Bombers still
managed to make mincemeat of their contenders and once again
turn the AL race into a race for second place among the nine-
team second division members.
Bad news for the Dodgers in the form of a healthy Mickey Mantle
and Roger Maris. Bomber pilot Ralph Houk has saved his fear
some M and M combo in order that both might be in top shape for
the ensuing rendevous with the former Brooklynites.
Houk is well on his way to tying a record by his predecessor
for most consecutive pennants and World Championships won.
Casey Stengel won five in a row and Houk is now in the process
of winning his third pennant in as many years at the helm. He
has won tow consecutive fall classics.
The Yanks will have a number of underlying reasons for wanting
to dump the Dodgers. The first is a matter of pride. Secondly,
they will be out to avenge their loss to the Dodgers the last
time the two squad* met in 1956. Thirdly the Yanks centerfie-
lder Mickey Mantle will be out to top the all-time series mark
for r otal hr's. The switcher nw trails only Babe Ruth having
swatted 14 to the Babe's 15. Manle will enter the series in top
physical form for the first time since 1960 when he devasted
the Pirates by hitting. 400 and becoming the first man in history
to switch hit hr's in the same game.
Football reason is fast approaching and all eyes are on the
pro-gridiron as the after-effects of the offseason scandal be
gan ’to materialize. Next week Close-Up will analyze the NFL
teams and offer a prediction on the NFL race.
Chicago white sox third baseman Pete Ward is making a ser
ious run at the Al's rookie of the year award. His hitting has
kept tile Pale Hose nine in the first division while his glove has
throttle J many opponents ralite. Al Downing of the Yanks is
the other top . andidate for the honor and he will provide tough
oppo dtion for Ward. Downing, if he continues his brilliant rookie
perfom ante w ill, in the not too distant future emerge as a serius
challenger to Sandy Koufax for the speed king title.
Downing has posted 10 victories so far and has fanned 10
baiters or more on 7 different occasions. Koufax has performed
the aine feat 49 times. Ir Downing continues to progress at this
rate iie will top even Koufax in this department.
See you no t week with the first of a four part series on the
NFL AND AFL football races.

methods so dear to neo-mal-
VATICAN CITY, (NC)—The
Vatican City daily in three suc
cessive issues has dealt with
the problems of overpopulation
and regulation of births.
L’Osservatore Romano led
off (Aug. 29) with a review of
the ups and downs of interest
in the population problem since
the time of Thomas Malthus a
century and a half ago. “Large
ly neglected for a long time, it
unexpectedly has leaped into the
first rank of preoccupation,”
the paper said.
NEW INTEREST in popula
tion problems stems largely
from the presence of depressed
nations and the world economy,
WASHINGTON (NC) —Civil
rights leaders said the August
28 March on Washington proved
that members of traditional
Christian churches and synago
gues are now “substantial al
lies.”
"It has been slow, like app
roaching a cold bath of water,
but we are in now,” said one
of the 10 co-chairman of the
march, Mathew Ahmann, the
32-year-old executive director
of the National Catholic Confe
rence for Interracial justice,
Chicago.
THE CHURCHES are finally
on the move,” said the Rev.
Jay Moore, associate director
of the Commission on Religion
and Race of the National Coun
cil of Churches, a federation
of Protestant and Orthodox ch
urch bodies in the United States
an article by demographer Os
car Garavello asserted.
"It is useless to linger over
the causes which have permit
ted what has come to be called
demographic explosion” the ar
ticle stated.
“But what is useful to add is
that very often such problems
are treated with too much gene
ralization: too often they treat
as typical the conditions of some
countries in which the demogra
phic problem is truly drama
tic, as for example such regions
as Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Cey
lon, etc.,*'
ON THE OTHER hand the ar-
memorial and was part of a
delegation of leaders which
called on President Kennedy
and on leaders of the House and
Senate.
AHMANN is convinced there
will be deeper Involvement of
the predominantly white chur
ches in the future, “I think that
the feelings of churches and
white people were strengthened
by die March. We have devel
oped a new coalition of con
science that unites Negro civil
liberties groups and religious
bodies,” he said.
tide took issue with “a hasty
favorable judgement on the pos
sibility of developing backward
countries on the basis of a si
milarity, not always valid, with
the western economy’s period
of expansion in the last cen
tury.”
In the next issue of Osser-
vatore, editor Raimondo Man-
zini lashea out at Italian com
munist organ Unita for saying
"it is true that the Church has
done everythingpossible to cre
ate in this field (birth regula
tion) more suffering than plea
sure, considering as immoral
any sexual relations that are
not accompanied by the desire
to procreate.”
MANZINI, commenting on
this and on assertions in the
same Unita article that sexual
taboos are “retrogressions and
fixations to infantile levels of
thought like faith in hypotheti
cal beings such as God,” ob
served “but in communist doc
trine the very concept of sin is
repudiated, yet whoever obser
ves life even in its psycholo
gical aspect alone sees con
flict between good and evil cry
ing out in every conscience.”
The final article in L’Os
servatore was by Dr. Giacomo
Santori, director of the Italian
Center of Sexology. He locked
horns with Unita for speaking
of the Church's “archaic po
sition” and her “defense of un
controlled procreation.”
HE POINTED out that from
the purely medical ami biologi
cal point of view “there is a
substantial difference between
periodic continence and the use
of the various contraceptive
thusianism.”
He also asserted that recent
medical advances have given the
periodic abstinence method
“security that is almost abso
lute and in any event not re
peat not inferior to that of the
most highly rated contraceptive
methods.”
He asserted that this method
of periodic abstinence " is be
ing adopted on an increasingly
broad scale even by non-Catho-
lic couples or couples of no re
ligion at all.”
Rome Altar
Society Meet
The September meeting of St.
Mary's Altar Society was held
at the Rectory with Mrs. Robert
Brierly, president presiding.
Miss Janie Fahy reported
that the visiting committee had
been to see about fourteen new
parishioners and ill members
of the parish during the summer
months.
Mrs. Joseph DIprima report
ed on die sale of Religious ar
ticles. The amount of $51.95
was collected since May.
The highlight of die meeting
was a talk by Father John Mc
Donough, pastor of St. Mary's,
outlining his plan for increas
ing the participation of the wo
men of the parish in spiritual
development projects and cor
poral works of mercy.
Following the meeting cake
and coffee were served with
Mrs. Brierly as hostess.

Rabbi Joachim Prinz, presi
dent of the American Jewish
Congress and another co-chair
man of the massive March, said
he was deeply gratified” by the
large turnout of religious gro
ups and the spirit of inter
faith cooperation he saw evid
ent in die demonstration.
NEARLY 250,000 persons
dramatized the wants of
Negroes in America b\ walking
from the Washington Monu
ment to the Lincoln Memor
ial where they heard a two^
hour program of speeches.
Washington police estimated
that about 30 per cent of the
crowd was white and Ahnqann
said he thought this happened
because of the increasing invo
lvement of predominantly white
churches and synagogues.
HE ESTIMATED that 10,000
people marched under Catholic
banners alone. “And that may
be a low figure,” he added.
"The Negro leadership felt
that for the first time the ch
urches were there in depth,”
said Ahmann, who spoke at the

"IT APPEARS inconceivable
that life on this earth can exi
st in its present form if a
nuclear war is involved,” he
said. “It behooves us then to
find a means of avoiding such
a war. The Christian approach
to the solution of this problem
as outlined in Pope John XX-
Ill's last encyclical, Pacem en
Terris, should be of great val
ue in the solution of this pro
blem. It is quite possible, to
my way of thinking, that the
test to which we are being cur
rently put— w hether or not man
can get along with man—may
determine whether or not we are
to survive as a species.
“Thus the university needs
the Church to help the univer
sity understand this relation
ship between God and knowled
ge,” Oliver said. “You, as le
aders in the Newman apostola-
te, havs the opportunity, nay the
obligation, to inform yourselves
and then to inform others of
how direct the contact be bet
ween the Church and university
in your field of endeavor. Your
position is extremely import
ant both in the preparation you
receive for your future way of
life and for the information you
pass on to others.
THE danger of “after col
lege drop-outs” was discussed
by Judge Edmund Reggie of
Crowley, La.
“Mr. Average—He'left his
questions and ideals behind at
the halls of ivy,” Reggie said.
"He left Christ the Spirit that
feeds his soul, he is a self-
made reject from theapostolate
of the Church. The world be
comes his King Supphodana,
father of Buddha, who allowed
no one to tell his son that
misery and poverty existed in
the world and raised him in
comfort and luxury." Judge
Reggie commented.
“There was a time when
speaking out in America about
the rights and dignity of man was
as natural as breathing,” he
said. “The town hall. Thecon-
sidered letter to the editor.
The proud indignation that took
a wilderness and made it into
a land of milk and honey.”
“Perhaps our people sweated
and starved and died many times
to preserve the Faith,” he con
tinued. “The after college drop
our must take a new look at
this sad and glorious and dea
dly and eternal business of mar
tyrs. What can they do, what
can I do? What can the Cat
holic, all college completed, do?
They can be Catholics. They
can be free!' They can breath
life into four marvelous words,
*Co«r ad cor loquitur.’The cross

carry the cross.

reason of the very fact that the
layman is a Christian.
“THE LAYMEN cannot be
be negative element, nor can he
be passive or neutral. Much le-;s
can he stand up against the w ave
of the Spirit which Christianity-
instills in souls.
“While in preceding ages the
hierachy arrogated completely
to Itself both the responsibility
and the exercise of every minis
try of sanctification and evange
lization, today the hierarchy it
self calls the laity to colla
borate at its side in the great
work of evangeliation.”
POPE PAUL had arrived at
Frtscati at 8 a.m., where he
was received by his Secretary
of State, Amleto Cardinal Ci-
cognani, who is titular Bis
hop Luigi Liverzani, Ordinary
of Franscati.
Following the Mass, after he
had given his blessing to the
crowd, the Pope talked to U.S.
Secretary of Commerce Luther
H. Hodges. The American cabi
net minister, a Methodist, had
attended the Mass with his
family.
The Pope then returned by
automobile to Castelgandoifo in
time to appear at the balcony
overlooking his villa’s inner
courtyard to speak a few words
and impart his blessing to the
people waiting him there.
