Man has fastened a harness on the rivers, a harness in the form of the vast masonry of dams which yoke the power of falling water and transform that energy into electricity for homes, farms and factories With dams, too, he can store water in great reservoirs and dole it out for irrigation projects, and he can control rapacious floods. These pictures, from the American Educator encyclopedia, show some of America's major dams. "W ? h ii A, ; j : if unnnnnr-- ? i 1 it r, iT M 11 'i v t ft i st i , ti 4r . 1!

It seems they are favored as appetizers in some parts of the U. S. One December night an airfreighter took off from Newark, N. J., with a crate of baby chicks and two monkeys. When it arrived at Buffalo cargo handlers nonchalantly loaded it with three crates of prize turkeys weighing 45 pounds each; five crates of chinchillas, two canar'es, a stone deaf kitten, three dogs, and two crates of fancy pigeons.

The list of college-trainemanagers now includes Lou Boudreau of Illinois, Eddie Dyer of Bice, Red Rolfe of Dartmouth and Eddie Sawiyer of Ithaca. This is only four out of the 16, but Its at least a lift from the old days when Jake Stahl of Illinois and the Red Sox was the Grantland Rice about only collegian In charge of a squad. Stahls Red Sox beat the Giants in the 1912 World Series. It isnt beyond reason to see Boudreaus Indians and Dyers Cardinals hook up in another world series. This, however, is no bet. la the American league, the Indiana still have the Red Sox, Yankees and Athletics to subdue. In the National league, the Cardinals have the Dodgera, Braves, Pirates and Giants to lasso and handle. manThe four college-traine- d agers must also overpower such entries as Joe McCarthy, Casey Stengel, Burt Shot-toLeo Durocher, Billy South-wortBilly Meyer and Connie Mack a rather formidable troop. What teams are going to win the two pennants, anyway? With nothing better to do under a hot, steamy sun, we began interviewing ballplayers not the rookies to get their angles. After all, they had played against these teams and ought to have some slant on the subject. Their opinions were quite InFrom American teresting. league camps, we found that about 65 per cent gave Cleveland the edge through stronger balance in pitching, hitting, outfield, infield and catching. Theres no doubt that Boudreaus outIndians are the fit in either league. They have what should be the best pitching staff, a fine outfield, a strong Infield and competent catching. Tbt other 35 Per tent went 25 d even-mone- still non-colle- d y 4S for the Red Sox end 10 for the Yenkees. I rate the Yankees much higher than this. They have the best outfield in the league, if foe DiMag-gi- o is O.K. They have the weakest infield of the three contenders, but powerful pitching possibilities. The Red Sox are only uncertain in the box, where pennants are won and lost. Anyway, most of the American leaguers thought the Indians would win again. They thought so rather violently. They are probably right, as Boudreau is a smart, keen, hustling manager who is going to stand for no loafing. Joe McCarthy must get better pitching and Casey Stengel must get better infield play, im- proved pitching and catching. Could happen. improved The National League Vote The National league vote was even more Interesting. We only had the Cardinals, Reds, Phillies and Braves to talk to. The Giants and Pirates are too far away. So are the Dodgers in their madhouse at Veto Beach. All the Cardinals we talked to picked the Cardinals to win by some strange quirk. The Phillies and the Reds were split among the Braves, Cardinals and Dodgers, with the Braves slightly in the lead because of Sain, Spahn, Dark and Pete Reisers potential gifts. Also a fellow by the name of Billy Southworth, at least one of the great managers of all time. In a series of five games, the Cardinals would probably win four. But 154 games was a different 1 squad story. Here is a squad younger, facing a sounder, with stronger legs and stronger arms. There is no such creaking and bones among clashing of worn-ou- t the Dodgers that you hear from the Cardinal canip. The Redbird team must be re built quickly. It Is almost through although still powerful and dangerous. They are s much better ball team than the Dodgers or Giants. Bat Im not sure they can go the' long route as well as the Dodgers can travel the pennant road. Oddly enough, few of the National leaguers I talked to gave the Pirates or the Giants a chance. They liked the Pirates over the Giants. In a short senes, they, liked the Braves over the Cardinals on account of Sain and Spahn. 3520x31 1940-194- 1947-194- 8 By Tom Gregory Home-Lik- i k Vs s r y "V A.- . s t v - v v r . x ...
