Colonel Jake just reaches to one of his dozen or so farms and picks up suitable replacement.
 There'll be some changes on the Yankees next year. Hoag and Sel- kirk and Powell weren't any bar gains this season and one or more of them likely will be gone next spring. Charley Keller, the Inter- national league batting champion from Newark, and Jim Gallagher from Kansas City are coming up.
 And Buddy Rosar, the hard skipping catcher from Newark, probably will don a Yankee uni form. He hit around .380 for New ark Bill Dickey still is tops among backstops but Bill is getting no younger fast. Manager Joe Me- Carthy can use Rosar.

OD heard that AID had sold ten cars, so he decided to try again. When his second car was finished, it had cost him almost as much as the first. He showed it to as many people as he could see and after a long time sold 1t for just about what it had cost him.
