United Press International
NEW YORK—Pee Wee Reese
should be in Baseball’s Hall of
Fame, but isn’t.
That’s simply an oversight.
He isn’t fretting about it, and
shouldn’t, because although the
baseball writers haven’t seen fit yet
to install him into the Hall at
Cooperstown, his peers voted him
into a much bigger and more mean
ingful Hall a long time ago, the Hall
of Extraordinary Human Beings.
Beyond the shadow of any ques
tion, Harold “Pee Wee” Reese be
longs in such a special place and
never was that more apparent than
it was a week ago in the Grand
Ballroom of the New York Sheraton
where some of the most celebrated
names in baseball were on hand to
pay homage to the late Jackie
Robinson upon the 30th anniversary
of his entrance into major league
baseball.
Bowie Kuhn, the baseball com
missioner, made the introductions.
Robinson’s widow, Rachel, was
there with members of her family
and she spoke about the Jackie
Robinson Foundation, which has
been established to perpetuate his
name and his goals. Joe DiMaggio
and Willie Mays, the honorary cap
tains for the All-Star Game, also
were present. So were Roy Cam-
panella, Don Newcombe and Joe
Black, all teammates of Robinson at
one time.
Campanella, especially, caught
the emotions of all the people in the
room with what he had to say, after
having recently finished a hospital
confinement of one year and two
weeks, during most of which time
he was forced to lie on his stomach.
But nobody moved those in the
huge room more than Reese, the
former captain and shortstop for the
Brooklyn Dodgers, the Southern
hoy from Louisville, who made ev
erything so much easier for Jackie
Robinson.

“Rachel, thank you for getting me
into this,” Pee Wee laughed, look
ing at her sitting up on the sais along
with all the others.
“People are always asking me
‘What was it like playing with Jackie
Robinson?”’ Reese went on. “To tell
you the truth, it was a little
strange.”
Pushing 59, Pee Wee Reese re
mains the All-American Boy.
His hair is still blond enough and
smile still boyish enough to evoke
memories of the kid who once won
the marble shooting championship
of Louisville, and it was easy to pic
ture him in the time frame he now
began talking about when he was a
chief petty officer in the Navy dur
ing the fall of 1945—two years be
fore Robinson was to play his first
game for the Dodgers.
“I was coming from Guam and

Tagged fish mean
Some alert coastal fishermen may
find that along with landing a good
catch they’ve hooked themselves an
extra bonus. There are fish out there
in the bays that carry tags worth up
to $25.
In order to study migration pat
terns, biologists of the Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department are tag
ging five game species: red drum,
black drum, speckled trout, sheeps-
head and flounder. Important in
formation can be gained as to
growth and movement of the fish, if
the tags are returned.
As an incentive to fishermen to
send in the tags, there’s a monetary
