HOW OLD MUST YOU BE TO
 RETIRE FROM SPORTS?

HOW OLD MUST YOU BE TO
 RETIRE FROM SPORTS?
 New York-Glancing at a pho tograph of Satchel Paige made me wonder just how old a gaffer you have to be before you bend in the middle and retire from the good old sporting life. That is the leg itimate sporting life. Some old duff fers don't begin to consider the other kind of sporting life until they are in their middle sixties. The kind of sporting life I mean has to do with baseball. basket ball, tennis, track, football and sundry other exercises.
 Satch, you remember, is the pitching genius who accomplished impossible things with a pitched baseball, and was, in my records, the first pitcher who was almost universally acclaimed to be good enough for the big team. He got a workout or two in exhibition games against the big leaguers and always gave a good account of himself, but he was never called up to be judged for a permanent berth on the major circuit.
 SatchePs Youthfulness
 Being the kind of an athlete who does not show his years, Paige sometimes looks like a lean youth, but he admits to being all of for ty. With all those years riding on his back, you'd think that Satchel would rotate between a wheel chair and soft couch, but he just keeps plugging. on, pitching excellent baseball and creating new sensa- tions.
 Something of an authority on speed, Paige has taken to saving time in the matter of getting from one place to another to demon strate his ability. He has bought himself a sleek airplane that tra- vels as fast as his fastest ball, and he can almost be on exhibi- ton in two places at the same time. A regular on the Kansas City Monarchs, Satchel pIaned in to New York a short while back to pitch against the winner of the duel between the Philly Stars and Black Tanks.
 Baseball is one game where age is not set as a limit. There have been instances where good players have held down a regular team berth after they had passed the half-century mark. Some play CTS have concealed their true ages,

years on the local sandlots. Many of the players, like Lefty Brown himself, have become famous meeting the bests professional and semi-pro teams in the country, teams like the Brooklyn Bush wicks, the Lynn and Brockton teams, and the top ranking teams of the Negro major leagues. Oth- CTS have been school and college leaders.
 Thus far this season the Stars have played several games and have piled up an imposing record. This includes nine wins against a single game lost out of ten starts. These games were against some of the hardest teams in New Eng land. "
 The Stars will hit the road in August for a southern and mid western tour. They will play many minor league clubs.

 Team Clicking

Boston, July 15-A long step forward in baseball was seen this week when Lefty Brown, for sev- eral years one of the best known pitchers in colored baseball and now promoter of a team of his own, announced the formation of the New England Black and White Stars.
 The Stars will utilize some of the best players of both races who have become famous in recent

 It was a good fight for the first six rounds, but when Sammy didn't come out to answer the bell for the seventh, there was nothing to do but call it a TKO.
