Bv HENRY MCLEMORE

LOS ANGELES, Feb. IL UP)-
Baseball's funny man plays straight
when he talks about the Bees.
Mention that up and coming
young team from Boston and Casey
Stengel hangs his testers hat on
the nearest peg and gets down
to the serious business of convinc-
ing you his baseball club is going
places in the National league this
year.
You can't laugh off the Bees
any more" Stengel told me yester-
day. THAT day is past. There isn't
a club in either league that has
made the substantial progress the
Bees have in the past five or six
years When Mr. Quinn went to
Boston what did the Bees have?
I'll teel you something that's hard
to believe. They had 20 players.
That's all Now what do we have?
Just 118 ball players. and they're
all ours. Belong to us outright. So
dc four farm teams Hartford
Evansville. York, and Bradford
Before I could ask oil Casey what
he thought the Bees would do with
this material this year, he told me
We're going to be a good ball
club. Lissen, all we need is three
more players" he said. Give us a
good hitting centerfielder, a good
hitting catcher and another de-
pendable pitcher and we'll give
anybody trouble, and that goes
for the Reds, Dodgers, Cubs and
Cards. And we may find the three
we want, right in training camp
at San Antonio this month and
next. We found raft of good ball
players in spring training last
year
Casey had me backed into q
drugstore now and kept on talking
We're the youngest club in either
league. We're on the way up. Our
club averages % or "a years in
age. Three or four years ago the
Bees had nothing TO sell but their
franchise. NOW we have nall a
million dollars worth of material in
five or six players. Name me a
team in the league that wouldn't
like TO have Sisti or RoWell OF
Ross or Miller or the young pitch
ers. JaVery and Lamanna. Shucks
those are young guys, fast guys
guys with stuff and hustle. You
can't help but like kids like that
I'm crazy about them myself, anc
the Boston fans are going for EN-
Why DO you know that last year
when We were way down in the
standings, hundreds of Boston fans
followed the team out Of town Just
tc watch it play. That's appeal"
Listening to Stengel talk, you
couldn't help but feel that the
Bees are building the right way
Without much money, they are de-
veloping their own young players
and, what is more important, re-
fusing TO sell them down the river
to richer clubs when they showed
lass. Stengel admitted that tempt

THURCHftL'S acknowledgment of Eng
lands eternal debt to the Royal Air Force
~ is probably the finest tribute ever paid by
the head of state to fighting command.
Woefully weak in numbers as compared to
the undreamed-of power of the luftwaffe at the
outbreak of the war, the Raj in September of
1910 was able through the sheer ability of its
older fers TO smash the Nazis daylight raids
and force them TO seek the cover Of night.
The ability of the Raj to wrest temporary
command of the air over Dunkirk from Goerings
sky fighters alone permitted the most masterful
evacuation in military history
Brtain's Royal Air Force is made up of
three sections, each with a different function:
the fighter command, the bomber command and
the coastal command.
The coastal command already has flown
some 45,500000 miles, half the distance to the
sun, seeking sea raiders or U-boats from far
above the Atlantic or watching the German
occupied coast from Narvk to Bordeaux for the
first sign of the long-awaited invasion.
In the fighter command are the intrepid
youngsters who fly the speedy Spitfires and
Hurricanes. They smashed September's Naz
air offensive which would have brought on the
invasion if successful They fly alone.
The bomber command is made up Of the
numbering sky giants that drone through the
night to drop tons of explosives and fire bombs
on points as far from Britain as Milan, Italy,
and East Germany They hammer constantly,
working in crews, on Germany's vast industrial
empire.
