Bill shut his eyes a moment, groaning in

still there, lovely as ever. 'Let let's go"
he said, taking her by the arm. The sky was
filled with stars when they reached the street.

boyish quality that showed through his air

you suggest - that they meet cute?"
Bill sprang to his feet, as if the motion of
his shoes set the wheels of his brain into
action.

he had described.
He ambled on, his hands thrust into his
gray fannels, scouting for other cute meet
ings, trying to turn up with one he hadn't
seen OF injected into some picture. His mind
was high in reels of film, so he didn't see the
girl approaching him on bicycle as he started
across the street
''OH - I'm 50 sorry Are you hurt?" He
came back to reality with sting of pain as
his rear struck asphalt. A girl was leaning over
him, her golden hair streaming over blue
eyes fraught with concern. Il was in such
hurry to get home l didn't see you Let me
help you up!' she cried.
She was trying to pull him to his feet. She
was tiny thing, in white sweater that set
her of to good advantage, plaid slacks and a
bandana around her throat. He suddenly
smiled then laughed. He cried, This is Won

later. Boys and girls still do meet cute just
as said. So Joe is walking down the street

HIT. merely sighed in resignation, and let
him type pages of cuteness for the rest of the
afternoon.

dressed to call for Janice that evening Their

games a season for each of the
three ball parks.
IT am strictly a seven-game man
for night baseball" said Hickey.
''We probably could set an Ebbets
Field attendance record this sea-
son by adding more night games
but it wouldn't do any good in the
long run. We played due to the de-
mands of the defense workers but
I think seven a year tends to keep
the novelty and attractiveness of
such games"
Neither Presidents Horace
Stoneham of the Giants nor Larry
MacPhail of the Yankees had any
immediate comment but both were
believed favorable to Rickey's pro-
posal.

seemed that the pitchers must

The Wilmington morning star., 1945-08-03

Ebb tide for the batters was in
1905, when Elmer Flick of Cleve-
land captured the title with a
meager .306. That followed an
average of 1881 Lajoie compiled the
year before.
With Ted Williams and Joe Di.
Maggie, who between them corner
ed the crown for three years, in
the service the last two years the
winning mark dropped ofigures
comparable to the prospective win
ming average this year. Lou
Voudreau of the Indians was the
winer last year with 1927, and Luke
Appling, winner in 1913, was only
a point better.
The golden opportunity for the
third sackers. Of course, was the
year Flick hit 306, but the best
any third basemen could do that
year was the Pts registered by
Jimmy Collins.
One of the better-hitting third
basemen was Frank Home Run"
Baker of Connie Mack's famed
100000 infield, but when he hit
1874 in 1911 the average was good
only for seventh place. The next
year he hit .347, but only moved up
one place. He was fifth in 1913
with 1886, but that was the closest
he could come to the top.
When it is considered the aver
age winning percentage for the "a
years of American League play is
.375, it readily is apparent Why in
most seasons marks of $40 or $50
were good only for honorable
mention.
Cuccinello may be just the lucky
guy to come along, at the age OF
81, when mark 40 points below
the overall average hits bingo.

The Sox also got their run in the
first inning on George Stirnweiss'

ing struck out Pinchhitter Leon
Culberson to end the threat.
Dick Ferriss doubled in the ninth
as a Sox pinchhitter, but was
