The Official Report from
ATLANTA (PRN) - The
Braves big league future
should be bright if the
performances of the team’s
minor leaguers at Greenwood,
S.C., is any indication.
This year’s number two
draft choice, Jamie Easterly of
Crockett, Tex., has been
nothing short of sensational.
The 18-year-old-left-handed
pitcher has a 3-0 record and
0.72 earned run average for 25
1/3 innings pitched. His
strikeout ratio is also high
with more than one per inning
for a total of 29. By starting
his pro career at Greenwood,
Easterly completely skipped
the normal first year service in
the Rookie League.
There are also four
outstanding young hitting
prospects at Greenwood.
Greg Foreman, who was an
All-American high school
fullback and virtually walked
to the Braves door step last
summer for a tryout, leads the
Western Carolinas League with
20 homers for the season. The
muscular 18-year-old
outfielder also has 21 doubles
and 72 RBI for the year.
Teenagers Rex Houston,
Roland Office and Rodney
Gilbreath are also hitting over
.300. Houston leads the group
with a .345 average. Office is
hitting .309, and Gilbreath is
hitting .306 and leads the
league in stolen bases with 34.
The Greenwood team won
the Western Carolinas
championship for the first half
of the season and is now in
first place for the second half
with a 22-9 record.
Recently the Braves wives
came up with a list of what
Baseball means to them. The
list read:
Baseball is . . .packing
alone, driving 1,500 miles
across the country alone with
three children (all under six)
to join your husband’s new
team.

Baseball is .. .buying your
World Series wardrobe a week
before the season ends--only
to be beaten out in the last
game of the year by the
Dodgers.
Baseball is .. .watching
your husband sing ‘Happy
Birthday’ to Charlie Finley’s
mule.
Baseball is.. .the thrill of
watching your husband go
4-for-4 after a month-long
slump.
Baseball is. . .knowing what
to say-if anything--when he’s
gone O-for-4.
Baseball is .. .the extra
special sirloin cut from the
neighborhood butcher who is
a real fan.
Baseball is.. .hearing the
man behind you call your
husband a bum.
Baseball is .. .sweating out
the cutdown date-and
breathing easier when the farm
director leaves town.
Baseball is .. .the weeks and
months following your
husband’s injury wondering if
he’ll be able to play again.
Baseball is . . .that
deliriously happy moment
when he is called up to the
majors.
Baseball is .. .working on
your Florida tan in spring
training.
Baseball is . . .the
enthusiastic throng of fans
with pennart fever greeting
the team at the airport.
Baseball is... fans arid
writers suddenly discovering
how great', your husband
is-and you’ve known it for
years.
Baseball is .. .the warm
friendships formed through
the years with no regard to
color, religion or geographical
background.
Baseball is.. .hoping your
baby will schedule his or her
arrival during a long
homestand.
HEW Announces Special
Educational Program
H.E.W. has announced that a
special educational program to
increase significantly the
number of minority group
students qualified to enter
medical and health sciences
schools will be developed
under a contract awarded to
the American Foundation for
Negro Affairs (AFNA) of
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
AFNA is a nonprofit
organization set up to increase
the number of blacks in the
major areas of American life
ranging from medicine, law,
and education to the arts and
humanities. Supported by an
$85,000 contract from the
Division of Physician and
Letter To The Editor
Cont’d From Page 2
mornings they turn their radios
on to catch these con programs
to seek financial help from the
con men themselves. Kids
don’t have to leave home to
learn many of the bad habits
that we’ try to keep them away
from on the block.
Religious hustlers white and
black suck the hard earned
money from superstitious,
elderly ghetto residents and
from poor whites. These
buzzards’ morals are less than
those of admitted hustlers
and con men on the block. The
pimp at least tries to secure
alert young girls who
conceivably will have time left
in life to cast off the pimp’s
evil spell and to recoup
financially and emotionally.
The con man’s prey is the
victims who are not paupers
and who are looking for
something for nothing. The
character of the stick-up man is
superior to that of the religious
hustlers. The bandit at least,
puts his life on the line when
he tries to take something from
his victims.
The so-called religious
healers prey on the poor, the
lame, the blind, the hopeless,
the aged, the near senile, the
sick, the dying. He shoots lame
ducks. He hasn’t the guts or
the intellect to go out and play
his con game against some kind
of threat, challenge and risk.
And he is so limited, so bereft
of creative ideas, he has to use
God as a prop.
As I lie here, I cannot help
but wonder if we really believe
in God. Does God exist in us?
Then why is it that we depend
so much on man to deliver us
from our lot? God is alive! He
_ respects us equally, and we can
■ call on him direct. We don’t
■ need the' prayer cloth man to
I cail on God if we are truly
■ Christians as we claim to be.
B Yours truly,

Health Professions Education
(DPHPE), a component of
Bureau of Health Manpower
Education, AFNA will
formulate a four-year,
premedical curriculum
intended to give minority
group students greater access
to graduate schools of
medicine and health sciences.
The curriculum will be
designed to be fully accredited
and nationally applicable.
The curriculum will be
tailored to take into account
the varying backgrounds,
abilities, and goals of
disadvantaged students. It will
specify the major science,
liberal arts, and remedial
subjects required as the “core”
curriculum.
The program will be devised
so that if a student does not
complete studies required for
admission to medical school,
he can enter other health
professions.
The new course of studies
will be formulated under the
supervision of AFNA’s Steering
Committee which includes the
deans of Philadelphia’s six
medical schools: University of
Pennsylvania School of
Medicine, Hahnemann Medical
College and Hospital, Temple
University School of Medicine,
Medical College of
Pennsylvania, Thomas
Jefferson University, and
Philadelphia College of
Osteopathy. Also on the
Steering Committee are
representatives of Philadelphia
Community College,
Philadelphia Board of
Education, Pennsylvania
Hospital, and Philadelphia
General Hospital.
The DPHPE contract will
cover the second phase of a
long-term project underway at
AFNA. The first phase is
concerned with orienting
minority group students in
high school toward medical
careers. The first group of 60
high school students will begin
such orientation studies at
Philadelphia medical schools in
August, 1971.

Spur Voter Drive
Detroit - The National
Urban League’s plan for a
massive voter registration
campaign in Northern states in
anticipation of the 1972
election borrows a page from
black political success in the
South.
Vernon E. Jordan, newly
appointed executive director of
the league, cited gains made by !
Southern blacks since the 1964
Civil Rights Act was passed in
calling for the development of
political power in the North.
“Alabama, a state in which
an attempt to vote meant a visit
from the Klan’s night riders
just a decade ago, now has 105
black elected officials, more
than any other state in the
union with the exception of
New York and Michigan,”
Jordan said in his first address
to the league’s annual
conference which ended
yesterday.
Must Come North
“It is crucial that this
example of Southern black
political power be brought
North, especially in the light of
the impending national
elections in 1971,” he told
delegates. “Black citizens must
use their numbers to gain their
rightful place in the political
‘Browning of America.’ ”
Jordan holds more than a
passing acquaintance with
voter registration, having
served as director of the Voter
Education Project of the
Southern Regional Council
between 1964 and 1968, when
2 million black voters were
added to the election rolls.
Jordan charged that the
Nixon. Administration has been
“ambiguous” about solving the
problems of black Americans
and said that the civil rights
gains of the 1960’s need
consolidating.
“Black power will be made
just a shout and a cry unless it
is changed into constructive
efforts to bring about black
political power and to
influence the established
institutions of America,”
Jordan said. “The power of
black ballots can be seen in the
South today where hundreds
of black people hold elective
office and where white
politicians can no longer ignore
the needs of black voters.”
The league’s decision also
comes at a time when the
percentage of voting blacks in
the North and West dropped
from 69 to 65 per cent
between 1966 and 1970, while
the percentage of Southern
blacks has increased from 53 to
58 per cent, according to the
U. S. Census Bureau.
Jordan, 35, officially will
take over as executive director
in January. He succeeds
Whitney M. Young Jr., who
died in Lagos, Nigeria, on May
11.
For the past 17 months,
Jordan has been executive
director of the United Negro
College Fund, Inc.
