Ball Lightning Tht rarest and least understood form of lightning is ball lightning, a slow-moving globe of fire which varies in diameter between 8 and 20 inches, says Collier's. It is usually usu-ally discovered traveling horizon -tally few feet from the ground.

What has happened in the first year after the wart Except in the wsy of record attendances and gen eral enthusiasm, the aftermath of World War n hasn't even approached ap-proached tht aftermath of World War L Not in the way of competitive competi-tive dais. Caa too same competitors today who have anything like the combined com-bined class of Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey, Bobby Jones, Bill Til-den, Til-den, Tommy Hitchcock, Rogers Hornsby, Earl Sande, Walter Hagen, Gene Saraien, Red Grange, Man e' Wart We have Joe Louis. But Joe Louis has been the world's heavyweight champion for ever nine years. We have Ted Williams, but Ted Williams hit over .400 before the last war. He was a great ball player, play-er, or at least a great hitter, before World War n ever developed a alight fever. Sammy Baugh and Sid Luckman go well back before World War O. The brief postwar period haa developed de-veloped a wild stampede to the box office. But very little beyond that In baseball the batting stars today include Ted Williams. Dixie Walker, Walk-er, Dora DIMaggto, Vernon, MusiaL Bank Greenberg and a few more. But these are veterans-most of them. Hal Newhouser of the Tigers and Rocky Graziano have been the two leading stars since 1941. Against this list I haven't the heart to give you the names of those who have faded, folded up or slipped badly who, returning from army and navy assignments, fen far behind. The outstanding performance per-formance of 1948 so far has been the Red Sox, plus Ted Williams. Plus the Dodgers fine showing against heavy odds, player for player. play-er. The second nomination ia Joe Louis who against BlUy Conn had almost no opposition. Sen Hogan and Byron Nelson are the two major money winners In golf but Lloyd Mangrum Is Open champion and Herman Reiser Is the Master's winner. And Sammy Snead is British champion. It is all very much confused, very badly tangled up. Most Class in Football la my opinion the feature part of 1948 won't belong to baseball, racing, boxing, basketball, track, golf or tennis. It will belong to football. This applies to both the college teams and the pros. This first applies to the quality of competition. com-petition. There will be far mora class to football than any other postwar sport can even approach. I understand that over 100,000 applications ap-plications had been made for the Army-Michigan game back in June. There will be over 200.000 ticket applications tor this contest at Ann Arbor. Applications tor the Army-Notre Army-Notre Dame game will pass the 800,000 mark before September. Army-Notre Dame and Army-Navy together could leave the 500,000 mark behind if there waa only space enough. The Navy-Georgia Tech game la Atlanta already has twe times the seat applications that Atlanta eaa handle. Notre Dame, Army, Navy and Michigan will be a triple sellout sell-out for almost every contest. The same thing will happen to South-era South-era California and UCLA en the west coast. Also to St. Mary's and ethers. But I doubt that Notre Dame will have the team Frank Leahy had In 1943 or that Army will have the team Red Blaik had In 1944 or 1945. The talent hasn't improved, but the crowd interest haa. Veterans Veter-ans coming from army and navy service have proved nothing. Some have been better others have taken a big din, This has been true in baseball . and it will be just as true in college and pro football. There will be stars from other years who will shine and there will be stars from other years who will be flops. There will be a professional toot-ball toot-ball entanglement mat will leave you gasping and more Jhan a few pocketbooks flatter than a thin plank; In looking on ahead you will also see a big revival la tennis ten-nis Interest and one of the hottest hot-test amateur golf championships any galloping member of the Thundering Thun-dering Herd has ever known, Bud Ward Frank Stranahaa Gary Jkliddlecoff golfert good enough to beat the Nelsons and the Hogans in major tests, plus young stars moving up. This has been rather dizzy season so tar, up and down.

One day Uncle Mose presented a check for $19.42 at the local bank. The old man took the money from the teller, counted it, then recounted it He didn't seem to be satisfied. "What's the matter, Uncle Mose?" the teller asked. "Isn't it right?" "Yes," was the grudging reply, "but it Jes' barely is." Clever Girl The girl was applying for a sec retarlal position and when asked If she had any special talents she replied that she had won several prizes in crossword puzzles and slogan slo-gan contests.

A Growing Pile Dean David of the Harvard school of business waa addressing a group of executives. "It's true that there is a great deal of knowledge at Harvard.
