Vaughn notched some 130 strike-outs in high school com petition this season, patched one no-hit game and collaborated with Billy O’Dell to hurl an other no-hitter. He won 12 games against no defeats.

POPE TO ANNOUNCE PETER'S BURIAL PLACE Vatican City, May.—Vatican informants said tonight that Pope Pius is expected soon to reveal to the Christian world “incontrovertible evidence” that Saint Peter once was 'buried under the basilica which bears his name. Such an historic announce ment would climax a decade of excavations and engineering feats yielding many archaeolog ical treasures, some 25 feet be low the main basilica florring. The papal anouncement is understood to be scheduled for* the first week in June aftef being twice postponed due to seeping Vatican Hill spring wa ters which imperilled and re tarded the excavations. Responsible Vatican officials said that the pontiff personally will consecrate, and then cele brate the first mass in a new ly-built underground chapel. This chapel is directly under the bronze-columned Bernini- built main St. Peter’s basilica altar and directly above the crypt which is believed to be the prince pf the Apostles’ tomfb. Vatican officials said the date of .the consecration definitely has been set for next Friday on the Pope’s name day of Saint Eugene. Since the ibeginndng of -his pontificate, the pope has used the occasion of his name day for important pronouncements to the College of Cardinals. i PATIENT IN HOSPITAL Mrs. Fuller Spotty, who un derwent a major operation in the NeWberry Hospital Tues day, is reported to have stood the operation fine and is now getting along nicely.

GROWING PLANTS BROKEN QN GRAVES Mr- Editor; Almost since time began de cent people have held in res pect and reverence the burial places of the dead. However, there has always been, and I suppose always will be, some people who are not decent—who lack proper respect for the) rights and feelings of others. Some such individual or indi viduals recently destroyed flo wers and growing plants which I had tenderly planted and nourished on my plot at Rose- mont cemetery. I cannot understand, Mr. Edi tor,. how anyone can stoop so low as to desecrate the last resting place of a human being. Not many of us would so treat the grave of a dog. Some day, in God’s own good hour, those who caused pie so mudh distress will find them selves also under a similar mound. And while I cannot find much charity in my heart for them, I hope that their lov ed ones will not have to under go such an ordeal. Mrs. Walter A. Davenport.
