are, instead, devotees of a new

and exciting sport called~ ~Sky):

Skiing.~;

Although it has not yet established itself as a national sport
sky skiing ~has attracted such interest that a group of kite flyers, known as ~Ken Tibado~s
Sky Skiiers~,; has been organ
ized in Lake Wales, Florida un-}

der the leadership of Ken Tibado, who also owns and operates
a kite factory.

Strangely: enough, the sport
is so intriguing, that there is
no age limit in the attraction it
holds, for among Mr. Tibado~s
own group is the world~s
youngest kite flyer, his son,
Keith, and the world~s oldest,
Frank Cargill, who is 70. Nor
is it a sport that appeals only
to the adventurous male, for
even Mr. Tibado~s wife, Imogene,
has become an active member of
the kite wearing clan.

Of this fascinating new breed,

has shown his courage, not only
in his performance as a kite
flyer, but on many other occasions, when he has almost given
his own life to save the lives of
others, including those of three
children.

WALTER HOYE

Some athletes start off with
a-zip bang, others sputter and
drag along then abruptly ex- plode into action. This is the
case of the Cincinattij ~Reds~
leftfielder Frank Robinson.

Robinson, a 6 - 1, 187-pounder again this year went along
slowly until. mid-May and then
settled down to his regular
groove socking the ball out of
the: park. His bat began to react to baseballs like a Geiger
counter to radioactivity.

In one game against the Houston Colts.45~s he smashed
five hits in five times at, bat,
including two homers and drove
in seven runs. This outburst by
Robinson led a 15-hit attack as
the ~Red~ overpowered Houston
13 *, 3 =

This bombardment served notice to all rival pitchers that the
early season quiet of Franks~
bat had worn off. From here on
he would be murder at the plate.

Of course this had to be expected for Robinson has led
the National League in slugging
(.624) for three consecutive seasons. He has also led the N. L.

in the most runs scored (134),:

most doubles (51), and he was
hit by the pitchers the most.
Bobby is the kind of batter who
digs in at the plate and will
not be removed.

Along with the San Francisco
Giant~s Willie Mays, he set a
N. L. record for ~most games
played in by a fielder, one season~ ~ 161..;

Frank came up to the ~Red~

in 1956 after two very good:

seasons with Columbia where

he hit.336, getting 25 homers.
That first season with Cincinnati

he was named ~Rookie of the
Year~ by the Baseball Writers
Associations voting panel. In
1961 he was voted N. L. ~Most
Valuable Player~,

In 1962 he played in 162
games, got 208 ~hits; drove in
136 runs and batted.342 to
lead his Cincinnati teammates.
He barely missed fying for the
N. L. batting championship by.004 points. Frank finished
second the L. A. Dodgers~ Tommy Davis who had.346. On August 20, 1962 Robinson set a
Cincinnati club record for the
most home-runs in one month
with his 14th since the start of
August,

Among the N. L. leaders in
slugging percentages (500 or
more games) Robby is fourth
with a.5712. In the N. L. ~Grand
Slam~ home run race in ~62
Frank tied with Hank Aaron of
the Milwaukee Braves with 3
bases-loaded home-runs. Robby~s
lifetime ~Grand Slam~ record
is 4, All this says is that Frank
is a tough man in the clutch,~

His fielding is par excellence.

He actually led the N. L. if.

you consider the number of
games played (161 with a average of.994, In his only World
Series action. he got 3 hits in
15 times at bat in 5 games, including 1 home run for a.200
average.

Frank is married to the former
Barbara Ann Cole and is an Xavier- University, (Cincinnati.
Qhio) Graduate.

Amidst all the color and pageantry of Antigua~s annual Carnival, Alphonso Woodall will
