Memphis World Memphis World Publishing Co. 1968-10-19 J. A. Beauchamp BY SAM BROWN Various phases of sports will be given the once over of what might have been, if such and such a thing had or had not happened. Those will be plenty of grist for the mill or fuel for the stove as the league season progresses. The effects of the expansion, the protected players, the wealth or lack bf wealth of manpower and the late lamented World Series will come in for discussion. Perhaps, a word or so in regard to the 1968 World Series comments heard Along The Trail since that seventh and final game won by the Detroit Tigers for the gold and glory that go with a World Championship might be the first observation. Some of the die-hard Cardinals fans were shaken up pretty badly by the outcome of the series, noting that Detroit brought home the victory the hard way so to speak, by winning after being three games down on the short end of a 3-1 count after the first four games. Although, the Cardinals had played brilliantly throughout the first 10hr games, having won the first, third and fourth games, and needing only one more victory to wrap up their serond consecotive World's Championship, some feel that a bit more of down to earth or rather "inside' baseball might have won for the Cardinals, particolarly in the final game. The setting: Sixth inning of final It seemed to some of those Along The Trial, that the cardinals might have been the first team to make that one run as the sixth inning opened. Lou Brook, star of the series and leading base stealer had not been on base his previous two times, but opened the inning with a single, and was promptly picked off first base by the Detroit pitcher. Mickey Lolich. Now, one can hear that the Cardinals and Brock might have played it sale and waited for a sacrifice and perhaps one run with Curt Flood and Orlando Cepeda coming up. A run at that time would have put a lot of perssure on the Tigers and the surmise, that the team making the first run would win the game might have proved true. All this is only a part of fuel for the Hot Stove as since the beginning of baseball there has always been that supposition of what might have been. True, it is heard that Brock has the green light to steal or run the bases as he sees fit but in a close name that had the championship going with every action, the whole team should have been the thing of importance. The ball that got pan Flood in the top of the seventh inning when the Tigers scored three runs and runs that proved the game and championship, was so much anti-climax, as the climax had been reached in the sixth in reverse action by the base runnings of the Cardinals. No one knows what might have been, but fans Along The Trail are still talking and sayingg "That's baseball!" Just wait until next year. CARRIES FLORIST & GIFT SHOPPE 846 S.

E. class of Northside High School is doig a whopping job-a job in Which they are rendering a real community service. These 40-odd youngsters - most of them girls - have agreed to address 15,000 envelopes to be used in the Christmas Seal mailing scheduled to go out early in November. Bryan Wilson executive director of the Shelby County Tuberculosis and Health Association (which malls out the seals), had this to say about the work the students are doing: It was thrilling to see the eagerness with which they helped transfer the materials from the car to the typing room. They were all smiles over the prospect of typing something, but just for practice, but something which actually would go out in the mails. To them, this meant achievement; it meant they were appraching the time when they could go out and earn a good living for themselves. It is even more thrilling to see the splendid and accurate job they are doing; this means there soon will be added some good workers to the Memphis job market." The Christmas Seal fund drive will begin Nov. 12. Jerred Banchard is campaign chairman and William R. Bruce is co-chairman.

Better Schools Request Speed-Up Of Integration Two delegations called for more educational improvements at the monthly meeting of the Atlanta Board of Education Monday night.

Tuve, requested that the board speed up the rate of teacher pupil integration and take immediate steps to correct serious racial injustices in the school system. "We should strive for fully integrated schools with equal opportunity for everyone," he said. Children are being misled when told they should be taught only by a member of their own race, he stressed. "Boards have a moral and legal duty to end segregation. A great deal more needs to be done at a more rapid rate," he added. Mr. Tuve made the following recommendations: 1. Make immediate revision of the existing pupil and faculty desegregation plan to achieve meaningful desegregation by 1969-70 with specific plans fox substantial desegregation at mid year 1968-69. 2. Spell out specific plans for eliminating existing inequalities in class size, Pupil-teacher ratios, number of books available per child in each school, the quality and quantity of furniture and equipment the size of school recreation and athletic areas, and the availability of special services. 3.

Spell out the specific plans of the school system to instruct all children at all levels in the ulture and history of black Americans and other minority groups and to provide teaching materials representing a desegregated society. 5. Develop a comprehensive system-wide program for in-service training of teachers and subsequent assignment to assure optimism utilization of teacher skills. 6.
