shape and Pm going to stick. After
all Pm only 80 years old. 1 won't
be 81 until November. If Lefty
Grove can keep on winning at Al,
why should I be all through when
I'm 10 years younger than he is?"

backed up his sentiments.
Il had a bad arm and a bad side
last season, but I'm o. K. now. I'd
like to lay nj bet, anyway. I'll
bet nobody on this club works
harder"
At this spot the Great Goof is still
more than holding his own. Now and
then he hears the call Of the Wild"
but not too often. He still has his
share of stuff packed away in his
portside portfolio and hopes to win
his seventh world series start this
coming fall.

Yankee camp began warming up,
there was more than passing doubt
that Lefty would be hanging around
much longer. In the losing cam
paign of 1910 the depressed left
handler had turned in only three VIM
ming games against three defeats.
Most Of his mates. including Joe
Mccarthy, felt bad about this situa-
ton since Gomez is not only ex-
tremely popular all around, but also
one of the gayer notes in a serious
Yankee community. The one fellow
who refused to back away from a
rough fate, who refused also to sur
render his mirth, was Lefty himself.

Would you cry, Your address,

To be brief, in a war
Such as this frightful one,
Are you just one who says
