OIdtimers Laugh
AT Present Pitchers;
Grove Thinks Feller
Changed Delivery
By FRANK Eek
AP NeWsfeatures Sports Editor

AP NeWsfeatures Sports Editor
NEW YORK ~ Retired baseball
players, including a few who pitch
ed in the last 10 years, laugh when
the pitchers of today complain
about the lively bail.
Robert Moses (Lefty) Grove, who
won 80 games during II years in
the American League, believes the
ban used today is the same as it
was 20 years ago.
The ball is no livelier than it
was in 1925" says Grove. "Why
when it was hit to the Outfield in
those days it would bounce all over
the place. The pitchers nowadays
lack control. They always seems to
be behind the batter and it's only
natural for them to throw down the
middle. When they do that there's
no stuff on the ball and it gets
quite a ride"
Grove was one Of the former hur-
lers who were guests Of the Phila-
delphia Phillies during a recent
gathering of former big league
stars. Others on hand included 81
year-Old Cy Young, 511-game VIM
ner in % years; Harry COveleskie,
the Giant Killer; Lefty Gomez of
the Yankees; George (MOOse)
EarnshaW and Rube Walberg Of the
Athletics
They were in Philly for a series
(which was rained Out) with the
Pittsburgh Pirates. Naturally the
only thing to do was sit around and
talk over "the good old days"
Grove, now white-haired and the
owner Of three bowling alleys in
LycOning, Pa, drew many listeners
when he talked about Walter John
sons fast ball and Bob Feller's
failure to win regularly.
Il think Feller changed his de-
livery" said Grove. "He's been
fcOling with a slider. He had a good
fast ball and a fine curve. That's
all you need in the big leagues.
why the greatest pitcher in
baseball, Walter Johnson, never
had curve. I was the same way
We always depended on our fast
ball. When Johnson or threw a
curve we made the batter happy"

chimed in Harry COveleskie, bro

beat Brooklyn three times in the
1920 World Series. "I beat Matty g

on him."

Farm welders are of two types,
electric and oxy-acetylene. They
each. have their advantages and
their place in the farm shop.
Electric welders were manufac-
tired in aefarm size a few years ago,
and have proved very satisfactory
Arc welding is the joining of two
pieces of metal with the intense
heat of an electric arc that melts
the metals and causes them to, flow
together into one continuous piece
Many times the welded piece is
stronger and more durable than the
base metal itself. An additional ad-
vantage is the low cost of opera
ton. 1t is important that the welder

In sad and loving remembrance of
our dear daddy, Walter Wilson, who
departed this life, September 10, 1947:
One year has passed, with all its
changes,
Since death bade us part,
But, dear daddy all the changes
Cannot take, you from our hearts.
We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.
1t is lonesome here without you
And sad the weary way
For life is not the same to us
Since you were called away.
In our hearts lies a picture
OF our dear one gone to rest,
In memOrys frame we will keep it
Because daddy was one of the best.
Memories are treasures, no one can
steal
Death leaves a heart-ache no one can
heal
Never could we bear the parting,
Only for His promises given
That some day Wen be together in
that blessed home called Heaven.
Dearly loved and sadly missed by
his daughter, Emma and sOn-in-laW
Bill Hearn, and GrandsOns. 1t

Coldframes are used to harden
off, plants from the hotbed. They
can also be used to advantage to
start seeds where more space is
needed than can be provided by
flats indoors. A coldframe differs
from a hotbed in that it obtains
heat from the sun only, having no
fermenting manure under the soil.
It is located where it will get full
