I don't believe anyone has had as much fun out of life and living as Dizzy Dean has had. This has been one of his main him Just the way he Is. I doubt U anybody could change him anyway. Last March, along the western coast of Florida, there were two managers who felt their teams had been overplayed. They were Rolfe of the Tigers and Sawyer of the Phillies. "I think we have been placed too high," Red Rolfe said one When he traits. March afternoon.

"That did no out. him good. I tried bawling possibly third place but third' He merely grinned. It took some time to find the answer. That was to bar him from the ball park. That was something Dizzy couldn't stand. He had to play ball every day. When I threatened to keep him away from the park he was always easy to handle. "I knew I had a 28 or 30 game BEULAH and Candida had met In York office of Morwinner," Gabby said, "a year or two before he came up. But he was timer and Brown, attorneys.

So far the Tigers have been the most consistent sqaad In the league where consistency applies to pitching and hitting and pretty fair fielding defense. My guess would be that If any one team beats them out It will be Clevelands Indians. The Indians have better pitching than the Yankees can show. The case of the Phillies has been about the same. Sawyer, a smart manager, one of the best In either league, wasnt sure his young team could finish third again. At that time be didn't know too much about Miller, his young pitcher, One of the strangest, and possibly the most useful, agricultural devices developed in recent years is the cattle cafeteria. 1 ing with 5 ola!& zocaine in aieohoTisZC H by T, ft The cafeteria is actually two steel versity I There no positiv, Quonset huts, one built inside the ,ls m.fly. other.

During the jgEULAH followed she hated go off ing evenings and leaving Candida home alone, but, obviously, Barnably and she couldnt take the other girl everywhere with them. Beulah was wondering how, when Barnaby proposed marriage and she accepted him, she was going to break the news to Candida, Two nights later Beulah delivered a half dozen fowl to the village church for Its supper, and was returning home earlier than she was expected. Lights were on in the front room and through the window she saw Barnaby holding Candida in his "arms, kissing her. Beulah was furious. She stormed into the house. Candida tried to be calm and explain that she and Barnaby had loved each other all along. They hadn't had the courage to tell Beulah. You you vixen! Beulah shrieked. A week passed. The girls went about their duties without speaking. Both knew that sooner or later they would have to come to some agree ment about the farm. So in the end Beulah made ar rangements with Lawyer Stearns and one evening the girls set out In the delivery truck for his law office to write the final chapter in their adventure. They were silent on the drive to town. Even when the car lights went out for no explainable reason neither of them said anything.
