They come and go but on their way New stars blow in with dash and thrust. Tomorrow Is another day Where yesterday Is under dust. This new season, for some reason, is packed with high spots in the way of public Interest, high spots that in many cases will quiver and sag before spring has moved into sum-mer. The first high spot brings up the pursuit of the Cardinals and Red Sox. Will they be able to survive the e chase and meet again in the next world series? This Is the way it looks today. They were the two best teams In baseball last sea-son and they look to be the two best in baseball this season. Both look to have the better ball players and this is big part of the answer. Any rival team that beats either out will have to show about 40 per cent more than said team has shown so far. The Pennant Race Another high spot is fan Interest-Wh- at about the Brooklyn DodgersT Where will they finish? How many games will Pete Reiser play? Will the Yankees or the Tigers fin-ish closer to the Red Sox? The Tigers have the better pitching possibly the best in baseball. The Yankees have good pitching. Both infields are uncertain. So are both outfields. They should run 2-- with little to choose. What about Bob Feller? Feller put in 11 months of pitching through 1946. The Cleveland star, one of the game's greatest, has given his right arm a rougher beating than any right or left arm ever took before In one year. Feller will be a marvel if this strain doesn't affect his work. Who will be the most Improved ball player of the year? My guess is Joe Gordon, who fell away in fielding and dropped to .210 in 1946. Working with Lou Boudreau, the Oregon acrobat is due for a big re-bound. Boudreau and Gordon at short and second should match Ma-rion and Schoendienst of the Cardi-nals, plus Pesky and Doerr of the Red Sox. Or Reese and Stanky of the Dodgers. What will Ted Williams hit? In the course of his big league career, Williams' batting average is around .352. He is one of the game's great-est natural hitters. He is packed with ambition. My guess for the tall swinger is in the close vicinity of .360, with an output of some 40 home runs. Who will be the season's leading pitcher in games won? You don't have to crawl too far out on a waver-ing limb to name Hal Newhouser. With the Red Sox or Cardinals, this left-hand- would be up above 30 winners. Who Will Be Lost? What two teams will finish last? The Athletics seem to have the A. L. cellar leased for another season, with the rent paid in advance. The race in the National league for the bottom of the snake pit should be much more spectacular. Those mentioned for this unhallowed spot include the Reds, Pirates, Phillies and Giants. The Giants are the de-fending With Mize and Cooper back they are sure to be stronger. But their pitching is little better. The Pirates, with Greenberg, will be improved. So will the Phillies. The Reds are noth-- S ing to rave about. At the moment, the Reds seem to have the call. What team has the strongest ln-- field? We'll vote for the Cardinals, with Muslal, Schoendienst, Marion and Kurowski, backed up by Cregar and Glaviano. Next best the Red Sox. Who will lead both leagues in hit- - ting? Stan Musial is as good s guess as you can make now, with Ted Williams close. Williams will have the call in the matter of extra bases. What team can be the pennant dark horse of the year? The Boston Braves, especially if Mort Cooper has an Cooper year, The Braves under Billy Southworth can be an upsetting outfit, replete with the cyanide touch. Cooper, In shape, is a great pitcher, not merely a good one. The best rookie of the year? Keep an eye on Yogi Berra, the Yankees' latest fence buster. He is looked upon as one of the main Yankee hopes. Yogi came to the Yankees as a better than promising catcher. Then he was shifted to right field. MANY LEFT HOMELESS IN TEXAS CITY . . . When fire and ex-plosion wrecked industrial district of Texas City, on Galveston bay, Tex., even many persons who escaped death or injury were left homeless. Miles away windows were blown in, brick walls crum-bled and many persons were injured or killed by flying debris. It may be weeks before the total casualty or property loss will be known. First reports, placing the injured and dead at several thou-sands, have been largely confirmed. - AVIATION NOTES YOUNG FLY, OLD DO NOT When Americans are young and have little money, they fly. When they get older and begin to earn more, they don't fly. Two interesting curves In graphic form tell this story in a study en- - titled "Age Study of the Flying Pub- - 11c," made by Civil Aeronautics administration. The study reveals that almost 50 per cent of all pilots are found in DM two age groups of 20-2- 4 and 25- - 29, while persons in these groups comprise only 19 per cent of the total population 16 years or older. Less than 5 per cent of persons in these age groups earn $5,000 a year. TWO-thir- of the people who earn $5,000 a year or more are between the ages of 35 and 55, but the pro-porti-of all pilots in those age groups drops sharply from 10 per cent at 35 to almost nothing at 55. Beyond 35, the percentage of pflotl drops rapidly. Apparently Americans quit flying completely at 00 although there are known to be several sexagenarian pilots still active in the United States. It Is cheaper te operate an air-plane than an automobile for business, Arthur Whltcomb, Keene, N. H., contractor In-sisted In testifying before the New Hampshire legislative com-mittee on aviation. He reported that he flew his own plane 27,000 miles last year on business at an average cost of 5 cents a mile. He drove his car 18,000 miles at an average cost of 64 cents. 0 0 0 FEES REDUCED A 20 per cent reduction in fees for recording ownership of aircraft and aircraft liens, from $5 to $4, became effective May 1, under orders of Civil Aeronautics administration. The charges were Instituted last August under a congressional man-dat- a to CAA that it defray the cost Of service operations through serv-ice fees whenever possible. Other charges levied by CAA in accordance with directions of con-gress include $10 for issuance of air agency certificates to flying and ground schools, mechanic schools and repair stations, and $5 for issu-an-of certificates to parachute lofts. 00 Even airline pilots scurrying back and forth across the con-tinent can't escape the watchful eyes of their wives. Mrs. Jack Jenkins of Cleveland insists a short wave radio band on the living room console is a neces-sity for pilots' wives. When her husband, who pilots an Ameri- - can Airlines flight from Cleve-land to Nashville three times a week, returns from a flight, she always has dinner on the stove and his slippers ready. She picks up his position report to the airport on their home short wave band. ooo SETS SPEED RECORD. . . Unit-ed Air Lines' new four-engln- Mainliner 300 (Douglas DC-- 6) set coast-to-coa- st air-line a new official speed record of 6 hours, 47 minutes, 13 seconds on a 2,400-mil- e Might from Santa Monica Calif., to New York City. The Mainliners now are in scheduled service. e a a HELICOPTER POLICY Helicopters will perform their growing transportation services of safety and a with a maximum minimum of noise, the helicopter council of Aircraft Industries associ-ation has assured aviation auth ri- - that 'utility o tt. ties.
