They walked for over a mile
down the beach, pausinS new and
then to pick up a shell or to watch
a boat silhouetted against the deep
blue horizon. They had very little
TO say. each apparently lost in
thought.
Helen found herself remembering
the days when her aunt had
brought her to this very same re
sort for the summer vacation.
Paurs father had brought him also.
The resort was one to which the
same families from back inland
came each year. And she and Paul,
active, tanned, even then planning
their lives together, never failed to
build a castle Of sand. 1t had tow

not building castles in the air.
Hopes and dreams and plans-all
of them collapsing later on, proving
themselves to be as easily de-
stroyed and washed away as had
been those sand castles beside the
sea.
Paul picked up a shell with un-
usual coloring and markings. He
held it out to Helen.
Its like the one you gave me
for my collection" he said, "the
summer you were IS and I was It.

Helen nodded. do you still have

"A hellish mistaken"
Whose fault is that?"
Mine, of course. I was a darned

Helen started back up the beach.

CReg. U. s. Pat. 0fD By CARL LUNDQUIsT

united Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Aug. SO-CUP)-The end of the major league races IS exactly a month away today and both threaten to become so comph- cated that 1t is 8 welcome retreat to take time out and pick the l946 winners, a much easier job. The Cards and Yankees can't miss.
 Many safer and shorter-ranged prediction has gone awry but in this case both clubs will be so heavily endowed with talent that the major chore of the executives will be in deciding how to make the most effi- cient use of 1t.
 The fact that both teams current ly are in contention for the 1S45 flag bodes well for the class of play CTS now operating for them. despite war year in which all major league teams hit the bottom of the Inanpower barrel.
 Stars Galore
 But what is far more important is the fact that they have from two to three times as many established stars as any other major league teams. They each will have enough flor almost three complete teams of major league caliber when all serv- ice stars return.
 Jumping all the players, those who carried on in the final war year and the established regulars in military service, the Cards have 20 pitchers, 10 outfielders, two first basemen, four second basemen, two shortstops, three third basemen, and three catchers. The Yankees are just as well off. To begin with General Manager Larry s. MacPhail has the promise of five players from the Cubs in completion of their deal for pitcher Hank Borowy. Additionally, they have IS pitchers, 10 outfielders, | three first basemen, two second basemen, two shortstops, two third basemen and five catchers. Cards Have "Aces"
 The Cards could field first line team consisting of Terry Moore, Enos Slaughter, and Stan Musial in the outfield; Johnny Hopp on first, Jimmy Brown at second, Mar ty Marion at short, George Kur- owski at third, Walker Cooper catching and Johnny Beazley, Ernie White, Howie Pollet. Max Lanier, Howie Krist, and Harry Brecheen pitching. That was the team with which they won the penant in 1942, the first wartime year before Se- lective Service took major bite.
 The second line pitching strength would be terrific. Such talented hands af Alpha Brazle, Murry Dick son, John Grodzicki, George Mum ger, Jack Creel, Al Jurisich, Ted Wilks, Ken Burkhardt, George Dockins and Glenn Gardner will be available.
 | The front line Yankees would irl- clude Joe DiMaggio, Tommy Hen rich. and Charley Keller in the out field; Johnny Sturm on first, Joe Gordon on second, Phil Rizzuto on short, Billy Johnson on third, Bill Dickey catching and Spurgeon Chandler, Ernie Bonham. Alley Donald, Floyd Bevens, Marius Rus so. Bill zuber. and Walt Dubiel pitching.
 All of which excludes entirely the
 usual crop of young stars that are harvested annually by both clubs from their top grade minor league 1 form clubs.
 For Cub. Tiger, Senator, Indian and Brownie fans whose teams still
 are 1945 contenders, it better be this
 year because there might not be another for a long time.
