Hope sat by the fire and thought of things of Harbisonville, and whether she would enjoy being there again, even with the family. Already she liked being out here, lonesome though it would be when the newness wore off. She thought of how the. girls In Harbisonville would laugh If they could see her now, sitting before the blazing fire in this shack, in country where one could hear wolves howling, where deer raced past, where rattlesnakes were said to be abundant.

Mr. Eliot and Mr. Flipp made their departure, leaving Kate and Andy to work out their plans for enlarging the house aided, abetted, and deterred by suggestions from Dave, Granny, and Hope. 'Well just have to add one room this time," Andy said. "And put new floors throughout, and a new roof on. Later, as were able, we can remodel the house.

NNE CAN RECALL, looking back many years, how people began to wonder who were going to fill the gaps when Hans Wagnpr, e Christy Mathewson and Nap had finished. Then there was Ty Cobb followed by Babe Ruth. Ruth snd Gehrig. No one could take Mattys and Cy Young's place. But Walter Johnson did. And after Johnson there was Bob Feller. It may be that no ballplayer can fill the gaps left by Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth. Or perhaps Walter Johnson. No one has quite filled Hans Wagners place at short. But with the Ted Williams, Bill Dickey. Bob Feller, H a I Lou Newhouser, Boudreau, Stan Musial and a few others, most of the gaps are plugged. Ruth, Cobb and Wagner's remain unfilled. But we have now come to a spot in the game that either Gen. Abner or someone else in Doubleday vented where we have to look around for other Bill Dickey Is through as a player. So Is Mickey Cochrane, another catching brilliant. Williams snd Musial should have a few years more. They sre two of the tops maybe the best. But Joe DiMaggio, Bob Feller, Ewell Blackwell, Charley Keller, Whitey Kurowskl, Marty Marion, and many more are nearing the borderline where the sign reads Game Called. It must be admitted there are not too many headliners left from the old guard. Ted Williams is the top man now. Musial is struggling in the grip of an early season slump. Newhouser is still pitching well, but he isnt winning as he used to win. Blackwell, a great pitcher, has been struck down. He may or may not come along later on. Charlie Keller is now out in Land. No one knows when he will be back. Feller is a bull-pepitcher. Where are the gods of yesterday? So they are asking today who will take the places of Dimaggio, Williams, Feller, Musial, Marlon, Newhouser, Boudreau and other headliners who will soon be over the hill. This makes one of the greatest guesses in sporting history. Who will be the coming stars to fill these gaps? For there will soon I.a-Joi- gap-filler- No-Ma- n be many that will need plugging. Here are a few guesses A1 Dark and Earl Torgeson of the Braves; Ralph Kiner of the Tirates; Zorn-maA1 Raschl and Bob Porterfield of the Yankees; Perhaps Larry Yogi Berra and Larry Doby of Cleveland; Ralph Branca and Sid Gordon of the Giants; Eddie Kazak of the Cardinals; Richie Ashburn of the Phillies; Carl Furlllo, Dodgers; Bob Chcsncs, Pittsburgh; Johnny Groth, Detroit, snd Roy Campanula, Dodgers. Tommy Henrlrh Is one of the star ballplayers of the year. But Tommy Is 32 years old and he has been a pro ball playe for 15 years. So Tommy can be Included with the stars of tomorrow. Then you can watch Lloyd Merriman of the Reds, a possible gap filler. Dick Kryhoskl of the Yankees and George Kell of the Tigers are other possibilities don't overlook either, Enos Slaughter and Pee Wee Reese have come along too late for any future build-umaybe Ferns Fain and Eddie Wailkus of the Philadelphia teams may prove the answer around first base, which has taken a heavy dip. Then we might take a look at all those $50,000, $60,000 and $70,000 bonus players Johnny Antonelli of the Braves Curtis Simmons and Robin Roberts of the Phillies and a few others who have yet to prove how good they are. It might be mentioned here that Bill Dickey ranks Yogi Berra as potentially the best catcher In either league. Considering Berra in every detail, Dickey aaid, Id take Berra over any catcher In baseball today. He Is young, strong and ambitious. He has a fine arm and he can hit. Dickey is extremely keen about the future possibilities of Raschi and Porterfield. He isnt suggesting they can fill the gaps that will be left by Feller and Newhouser. But he is sure they are much better than merely good pitchers. Gus Zernial of the White Sox, a giant Texan, has shown exceptional promise. He may move up to challenge Ralph Kiner as the home-rustar of 1954 or 1955. Zernial has shown enough promise to be rated high in any future p n book. Dont overlook Dark of the Braves. He is one of baseballs fastest men who can field and hit. He may move in back of Hans Wagner before he is through with the game. 0 fo?rix - iTi By Tom Gregory OeettfLot Pips 8ml Stopper. &JB6EB Valve WHEN THE SEXT OF YOUR FLUSH -- TANK.
