PITCHING LABINE SINKER I ABINE'S SINKER PITCH CAME FROM VENEZUELA (The following was written es pecially for AP Newsfeatures by Clem Labine, star relief pitcher for the world champion Brooklyn Dodgers.) By CLEM LABINE BROOKLYN. N Y (Af) ? You might say 1 imported my best pitch from South America. It's the sinker ball I picked up while pitching on the sidelines in Venezu ela in 1950. Ken Staples, a catcher in the Brooklyn organization, was catch ing J^/pitches and he told me cacl^Hd was going up. I the pitch in a game and it went just the opposite?down. So it became my sinker. I used it when I shut out the Giants in the 1951 pennant playoff game and used it to beat he Yankees in the 1955 World Series. I can throw it overhand or three quarters. My advice for a young pitcher Is that he should learn to throw all his pitches off the same grip. Most winning pitchers in the big leagues use that meth od. A pitcher must be able tb get his curve ball over on the first pitch because a lot of fellows are looking for the fast ball. Always try to get ahead of the batter. But you must polish your con trol. All the stuff in the world is useless unless you have control of your pitches. CLEM LABINE Duke sprint star Dave Sime took part in baseball, basketball and football at Fair Lawn, N.

He visit New York now and then from his home town of Archbold, Ohio, and seems to bring a ray of sun shine to this big burg. Ora runs a successful clothing store, and al though he is not a young man in years, he dresses like one and then acts the part. He has four principles for staying happy: hearth, friends, memories ? and the customer is always right. Sometimes, he tells me, folks come into his store and want to exchange a piece of clothing which they have ordered from some mail order house. If they insist. Ora makes the exchange anyway. Some of these very people, when 1 grown old, have come to Ora's j J store and confessed how thev thus I cheated him. But this bothers him I very little. You see.

Dr. Harris told the civic group that it was important that each one improve "the little part of the world they are occupying and by so doing, will bring about a differ ent and better world." The noted speaker and author said that civic groups had brought about a changed attitude towards citizenship. He charged that the world has nev??r learned to love with the same enthusiasm with which it has learned to hate. He pointed out that everyone owes something to the community and "failure to give something to the community is always expensive." He concluded by giving a defi nition of a gentleman, thus "that person who takes everything he can get out of a community, but put back more than he took out." The speaker was introduced by Dr. Paul Hardin, former Wayncs cillc pastor. Animal Cruelty Case Bound Over The Haywood County dog ward ?u.
