By Jack Cuddy United Press Correspondent Rome, Sept. 6 lU.PJ The world of sport found a staunch friend today in Pope Pius XII, who granted touring American sports writers an audience and urged them to stress the need for athletics in the post-war com monwealth of nations. "Sports on the whole are essential, helping to deter juve nile delinquency through provid ing healthful recreation and pro per environments causing healthy bodies and healthy minds, resulting in good citi zens," he said. Referring to St. Paul as an early advocate of athletics, his holiness said the idea of not in dulging in sports is far from the Christian idea. "The human body is a master piece of God's work and should be properly cared for in apprc tion," he said. Although he would not en dorse any specific sport, stress ing that virtually all were bene ficial if properly pursued, he gave American football an in direct pat on the back. Recalling his visit to the United States in 1936 when he was papal secretary of state, he mentioned a trip to Notre Dame university. One of the writers asked what he thought of the Notre Dame football team. "You'd have to see it with your own eyes to believe it," he' said. Although the pope was frail as a boy and never participated in athletics, it was evident through his friendly discussion that he admired American enthusiasm for sports. The pope met the writers pri vately in the Ambassadorial room. He emphasized his interest in the world of athletics by re calling that last May he held a large audience for sports leaders in the Rome area. Although frail in appearance he was surprisingly dynamic in his movements and in his mental Reaction to the questions which j i ...u:i ne answered in .iis"S" wune standing with the writers.

The whole trouble Is the fact that the "100" represents losses instead of wins. The Stars split a twin biir yesterday with Sac ramento, 6-3 and 14-6, and although taking the opener boosted their season average a bit, they still weren't too happy about balancing up the league in other words sort of evening things off for the 101 wins post ed by Portland. The Beavers split a pair yes terday, too, dropping the first game to Los Angeles, 1-4, but coming back in the finale. 6-4. San Francisco edged San Diego,, 3-2, and Oakland took two from Seattle the first. 3-1, and the nightcap in extra innings, 5-4. Roy Helser got credit for his 20th victory of the year as the Portland entry won the second game with a two-run splurge in the ninth. Helser went In to re lieve Don Pulford in the seventh and got the cheap win when Larry Barton doubled and Ted O u 11 is singled around a pair of walks. Red Adams, recently voted the Angels' "most valu able" player, pitched the open ing victory. Oregon was first settled In 1830 by French Canadian em ployes of the Hudson's Bay Company. Coast League W.
