First - Place Pirates Have Brand New Face y THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ~~ Face, 38, seems destined to become one of the most ef- fective pitchers in the majors this season, his 13th with Pitts- burgh Pirates. Face made his fourth ap- pearance of the season Monday night and saved Pittsburgh's 4-3 victory over Cincinnati Reds. It was the Pirates' fifth triumph in the first six games. His performance was similar to his first three. A poor 1964 season and a knee ailment last year gave in- dications that Face might be finished. But he is an old hand at coming back. "In high school. I developed a strep throat," Face recalled. "They gave me too many sulfa 5 Hh and it Smenes my _ heart "The doctor said absolutely no exercise.

The disease left my bones soft and bent and I ran a high fever, They said I looked more dead than alive. I wasn't expected to live through the night but I made it." GIVES BATTERS TROUBLE Now Face is a nightmare for National League batters. In his first game on opening day last Tuesday, the right- hander came on in the ninth inning with the contest tied 1-1, two out and three Atlanta Braves on base. He retired Frank Bolling on a fly ball and the Pirates eventually won. in 13 innings.

They have their roots hun- dreds of miles away in the Highlands of Scotland, the valleys of Wales and the emerald meadows of Ireland. The home in exile of hun- dreds of Irish, Scottish and Welsh amateur sportsmen is the prosperous south of Eng- land and their major links with the home countries are three Rugby Union clubs: the London Irish, the London Scot- tish and the London Welsh. They were formed within 20 years of each other in the last century by students and pro- fessional men eager to pre- serve the national communi- ties in and around London. The Scots were the first to form a club '"'to provide foot- ball for Scots in London" in 1878. Meeting in a London inn, changed his mind after much deliberation. "IT consider this one of the! most personal challenges I've had in the past 10 years," the conference. "When Red first} asked me, I thought he was put-| ting me on.'

They are still considering. Welsh medical students led their compatriots into follow- ing suit seven years later and the Irish, encouraged by their | predecessors' success, took | the field in 1898. All three clubs established the rule that native-birth, or | at least parentage, was oblig- } atory to keep the national spirit of the original plan. Although non-native players | have been allowed on rare | occasions--the Irish pack once contained an Englishman sponsored by an Irish col- league and the Welsh team was captained by a Norwegian in. the 1920s--the principle still holds true.

Playing experience with any of the exile London teams is a good recommendation to the selectors for the Irish, Scottish and Welsh national teams and "all the teams have had mem- bers who have played in inter- national matches. Socially, the clubs are ac- tive. All have clubhouses and bars, but the Welsh are the most closely knit, On the sporting side they organize sailing, bowling and golfing groups and even have their own pub, The Cock Tavern, in west London, With increased prosperity in the rest of Britain and Ire- land, immigration to England has dropped. The Irish team more than the others relied on migration of skilled person- nel to London for training and Wales, Scotland And Ireland. Top 'English' Rugger Clubs better wages, but they are all feeling the pinch, The top London Irish team consisted for the most part of doctors, lawyers, teachers and even priests who came here looking for better opportuni- ties. Now the flow is drying up and, though there are plenty of youngsters from resident families, it is getting harder to find top players.
