Baseball Crazy
Outside Comiskey Park in Chi-
cago one day reeently, a short,
pudgy carnival worker named
. Ralph J. Belcore sat on a gar-
bage can, lit a fresh cigar, and
made an announcement. "I'm
first in line for World Series
tickets," Belcore said. "I'm go-
ing to check in every day until
it looks like I better stay. Then,
even if I have to park here for
two weeks, I'm gonno do It,"
Inside the old South Side ball
park, seated at the desk in his
small, spare office, Al Lopez, the'
Patient , senor from Tampa, F1a
Manages anages the white-hot
White Sox, was puzzling over a
line-up, when Luis Aparicio, the
crack Venezuelan shortstop, pop-
ped in, Aparicio was carrying
a statuette of St. Jude (patron
saint of lost causes) with a card
from a parish priest saying:
""This is the tenth man on your
team." Al. Lopez inspected the
statue as he might a new player
up from the minors. "If we win
two tonight," he said, "the sta-
tue stays."
With 43,285 fans filling the hot
summer night with sound, the
White Sox won the double-
header, sweeping the Detroit
Tigers, 7-2 and 11-4, As the Sox
scored and kept theirlead at
five and a half games. Chicago
pennant fever moved toward
delirium. Whet) a Detroit pitch-
er threw a strike, the fans booed.
When one of the Sox hit safely,
the crowd roared: "Go, go, got"
For the White Sox, without a
pennant for 30 years, were clos-
ing in, and their fans could now
all but taste' the World Series.
In one week all four Chicago
newspapers ran enthusiastic edi-
torials praising the Sox, and a
weekend series with the second -
place Cleveland Indians was sold
out four days in advance. Bill
Veeck, the blunt Barnum who
runs the club, was working
twenty hours a day, planning
stunts for the Series and even
Veeck's wife, Mary Frances, an
attractive former publicist, was
in the big White Sox act.
With her husband, Mary Fran-
ces conducts a weekly television
show and like Bill she follows a
routine which allows for only
four hours sleep. With her hus-
band, she arises at 6' each morn-
ing; then, after breakfast, she
takes her four children to a play-
ground. Afternoons she helps
with Veeck's mail and evenings
meets him for a snack. "I've be-
come a great baseball fan," she
says. "1 had to if I wanted to.
talk to my husband during the
summer.
Essentially, the 1959 White
Sox are team of shreds and
patches. They are fashioned of
such veterans as Early Wynn
and TedKluszewski, of such
young ballplayers as Aparicio
and Barry Latman, all held to-
gether by the authoritive man-
aging of Al Lopez, Sitting be-
hind his statuette of St. Jude last
week, Lopez talked quietly, the
calm spot at the center of the
whirlpool,
I've had tension ever since I
became a big - league manager
(with Cleveland in 1951)," he
said with a sigh. "I'm surprised
at the way the Yankees folded,"
he added. "It used to be you
that made the mistakes, not
them. But I guess being in con-
tention all those years wore them
down more than we knew."
"We can't make it this year," '
Veeck said in spring training,
"Where are you going to get the
players from?"
"We'll scrounge for thein,"
Lopez predicted hopefully and
accurately. Now Veeck pretends
that he still is unconvinced, but
sometimes, with friends, he al-
lows his confidence to show
through. "In October," Bill
Veeck says, his eyes twinkling,
'the White Sox can have a little
fun."
PLAYING FAVOURITES
For weeks a destitute concert
violinist shivering in his garret
had enviously watched the daily
arrival of a very bad itinerant
violinist who played in the same
.street.
When the bad violinist sawed
out his wretched tunes, windows'
Opened and tenants threw out
wads .,of money.
One day the concert violinist
tried it and played brilliantly. •
He . collected only 'a •,few pence.
Bewildered, he asked the other
the secret of his success.
"Simple," was t he reply.
"You've also got to be a book-
maker,"

TAKING OFF — Bill Hayward
looks like. a jet pilot, but, ac-
tually, the Canadian sportsman
is preparing for a spin in his
superfast speedboat.
Deeper Study Of
Sea' To Be Made
Earth is a water planet. More
than 70 per cent of its surface
lies under the ocean and over
50 per cent is covered by water
a mile or more deep.
In this respect, the earth is
unique among the solar planets
and because of this oceano-.
graphers think they have a unia
que opportunity to delve into
the history of the solar system.
Some of the,opening sessions
at the International Oceano-
graphic Conference have been.
devoted to this kind of research.
Dr Roger Revelle, director of
Scripps Institution of Oceano-
graphy and president of the con-
ference, explained that marine
geologists think of the ocean as
an archive. a history book in
which one may trace the devel-
opment of the earth if one can
learnto read the language in
which it is recorded.
The record is contained in the
sea bottom sediments: which in
at least some places may have
been collecting since the oceans
were first formed 'The' deeper
one probes the sediments the
further back he goes in tithe.
So far. oceanographers have
been able to penetrate' only a
few million years at most into
this record To study earlier
epochs, they will have to bore
more deeply into the sediments
than present instruments allow.
Ways and means of doing this
are high on the "must" list of
ocean explorers
Among other things, it is
hoped that the United States
National Academy of Sciences'
project to drill through the rock,
underlying the ocean will also
produce a complete vertical
sample of the sediments.
• Such a sediment record should
contain evidence of the earliest
life forms that appeared on this
planet It should also indicate
the temperatures and other water
characteristics of, ancient seas,
There should be clear records of.
ice ages and tropical epochs, of
volcanic and mountain building
upheavals.
Dr, Revelle explained that as-
pects of the earth's own forma-
tion should also be reflected in
the sediment. From' these and.
from such things as the effects
of cosmic rays on the ancient
sediments experts may be able
to learn more about the formae.
tion of the solar system and per-
haps even the galaxy. of stars in
which the earth moves.
Still another important: piece
of information that may come
from the sediments is the exact
age of the major ocean basins.
Oceanographers want toknow
this badly because it has a bear-
ing on a question now being
hotly debated in meetings and
informal discussions here: Are
the continents moving?
The notion that the conti-
.nents have drifted around the
playlet's surface is anold one.
It has been advanced in the past
to explain major climate shifts,
such as the occurrence of tropi-
cal fossils in polar regions, Some
geologists have even suggested
that the continents once fitted
together like pieces of a 'puzzle
and have since drifted, apart,
writes Robert' C. Cowen in The
Christian Science Monitor.
This theory fell into disrepute
Col: a number of years. Now it
is being revived by geologists
here, some of whom have been
among its critics, Dr, Maurice
Ewing of Columbia University,
Sir Edward Bullard of Cam-
bridge University, and Prof,
Harry Yl, Hess of Princeton Uni-
versity were among those recoil-
sidering the continental drift
theory, although Sir Edward was
the only one to declare himself
definitely in favor of it,
The Atlantic Ocean' basin is
split `down the middle by a
illountaineus ridge, •There are
indications that the continents'
are drifting, apart and, as they
do, a crack may be widening its
the ocean floor. The mid-Atlan-
tic ridge may be the result of
material p u shin g upward
through this widening crack,
It was suggested that Europe
and North America are drifting
apart at a rate of a Yard in 1,00Q
years. Other experts suggested
that, instead of . drifting, there
may be forces in 'ell oceans
tending to compress the conti-
• nuts and widen the seas, Per-
haps this is part of the process
of mountain uplift and continent
building,
So far, relevant. data are
fragmentary, Oceanographers
discussing these ' things • here
seem to be speculating rather
than announcing definite theo-
ries, Nevertheless, an old idea
that many of them would have
dismissed a year or two ago has
suddenly come back into vogue.
Approach To The
South Sea i'Stands
The moon showed intermit-
tently, with aloud rack racing
across her face: The heavy
swell increased hourly, and as
the sky cleared' the white tropi-
cal moonlight flooded the long,
sweeping waves creating an eerie
sensation that was a mixture of
romance, awe; and loneliness, a
loneliness that made one long
for•land.. , ,
That morning Jack took a shot
at the sun and checked, up on
his charts, "If 'my reckoning is
correct, we should be sighting
Afareaitu peals' in Moorea this
afternoon," he said. "Afareatitu
peak is about five thousand feet
above sea level and I4:oorea Is-
land is about twelve miles from
Tahiti."
My heart beat wildly at the
thought of sighting land . again
after being over eight weeks at
sea.. , , My first surprise that
evening was to sight four birds,
white -winged albatrosses, har-
bingers of land,
My second surprise stunned
Inc. It was just after four
o'clock, I could not believe it at
first, but the growing realization
brust upon me like a flood.
LAND! LAND AHEAD!
It was shortly after, five o'clock
that the vision came into reality,
more marvellous, more exquisite
than the 'conception of all my
dreams and reveries, a dim shad-
ow in the far offing, a dark
Speck in the lofty clouds, It was
Moorea• Far up near the peak
of Tohivea, nearly a mile above
the sea level, . was a mass of
fairy cumulus cloud's floating
across the face of the, great peak.
It was a picture in murky mono-
chrome which I could never for-
get a, long sierra of broken pin-
nacles and crags which had all
the semblance of a weathered
and 'dismantled castle. It stood
out against the sapphire haze of
the evening sky likean ancient
stronghold of some mighty Titan.
It was as if a mountain of black
rock had been carved out by the
chiselling forces of the wind and
weather into a veritable work of
art,
These _ mountains are the most
wonderful examples of volcanic
rock' I had ever seen. Their
bofty"peaks peer at you from the
long cloud streamers above.
Here and there the mountainside
appears to have been stripped
naked by' erosion, and the vol-
canic cinnabar Of ages contrasts
oddly with the many greens of
frond and palm and hillside
grove. Nearer. as our ship sailed
along , a silver belt of reef, the
panorama was lovelier. I strain-
ed my eyea .to see it, to realize
the gossamer,. dream I had spun,
since boyhood, of the Pacific Is-
lands. Along this wall of coral,
hidden, but chartered by its
crown of foam, we ran for near-
ly a mile until Jack found the
gateway, the blue buckle of the
belt, it appeared in. the distance.
Within the lagoon the guise of
the island was more intimate.
Little bays and inlets bounded
themselves, and villages and
houses sprang up from the tropic
groves.
We dropped anchor opposite
the small village of Faatoai .and
in this sheltered haven we both
decided' to catch up on a few
hourswell-earned sleep before
we went ashore . the following
morning. , From the shore
there came to us fragrant scents
of hinano, the taire and frangi-
pani. Those fragrant Tahitian
scents lulled us into pleasant
dreams, dreams of further ad-
ventures in the South Sea Is-
lands —From "Drifting Round
the South Seas," by Guy Batham.
