A boy named Gerald Bagglsf

A boy named Gerald baSglsH
asks:
DO you know how many stars
there are in the universe?"
No one knows the number OF stars
in the universe. Each time q larger
telescope is made, more stars come
into view. The huge telescope on
Mount Palomar already has brought
a vast number of new star groups
Cincluding nebula and star clusters)
into view.
1t seems hardly possible that the
exact number of stars ever will be
known. We may safely say, how
ever, that there are millions OF bill
lions of stars, perhaps millions OF
trillions.
Another question comes from
Barry Pionick. who inquiries:
do you know what are the larg-
est stars in the whole uniyerse?
The great majority of stars new

Second largest is Betel-

is Antares. Second largest is Betei-
geuse, and the third is Canopus.
Each of those three stars is much
larger than the sun which lights
the earth. The sun has diameter
of 864,O00 miles. The diameter OF
Antares is about 800, ,0Q0, 900 miles.
Antares is so large that it would
hold a great deal of the solar sys-
tenn. If the sun could be placed at
the center of this gigantic star,
there would be room enough inside
for the planets Mercury, VENUS,
Earth and Mars to keep on re-
yolving about the sun. staying at
the same distances from the sun as
they are now.
Antares is in the constellation
called Scorpio. 1t is made up OF
very thin gas. and is so far away
that it looks less bright than many
other stars which are smaller but
closer.
Betelgeuse, the next IN size. has
a diameter about 290 times as great
as that of the sun 1t is in the con-
stellation of Orion.

From many an ancient river,
From many palmy plain,
They call us to deliver
Their land from errors chain.
What though the spicy breezes
Blow soft DER Ceylon's isle;
Though every prospect pleases,
And only man is vile?
In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God are strown;
The heather in his blindness
Bows down to wood and stone.
Shall we, whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from on high,
Shall we to men benighted
The lamp of life deny?
Salvation! O salvation!
The joyful sound proclaim,
Till earth's remotest nation
Has learned Messiah's Name.
Watt, watt, We winds, His story,
And you, We waters, roll,
Till, like a sea of glory,
It spreads from pole to pole:
Till DER our ransomed nature
The Lamb for sinners slain,
Redeemer, King, Creator,
In bliss returns to reign.

Special bispoteh 10 The Star

NEW YORK Nov. l6.-The
winter book consists Of a token
line, based on the results of the
year prior. which is supposed to
give an advance look at the COM
ing pennant races. More often
than not it is close, but does not
win the cigar. The winter book
last year made the Dodgers and
Red Sox favorites.
The feeling is that the same
pair will be favored next year.
This, of course, does not take
into account the possibility OF
sweeping trades being made. Such
trades are possible, but they rarely
materialize except where Branch
hickey is concerned.
Two consecutive pennants lost
by one-game margins have not
reduced the respect with which
the books hold the Red Sox. They
respect the entry of Williams &
Co., plus Mccarthy, too much.
Boston does not figure to be in
volved in many deals this winter
Mccarthy may go for another
pitcher, but the remainder Of his
personnel isn't likely to change
much. The Red Sox outfield is
the best in either league and the
infield the best extensively. Nc
Carthy could use added defensive
strength in his infleld, but who
would he sacrifice to get it?
McCarthy's hopes in 1850 will
depend mainly on his young
pitchers. He must regard Me-
Parnell and Ellis Kinder as sure
front-line starters. Backing them
are Maurice McDermott and
Chuck Stobbs, with the veteran
Joe Dobson rated No. S.
McDermott and StobbS are the
most important members Of the
staff. Every one agrees that NC
Dermitt could develop into one Of
the games outstanding pitchers
He has youth, speed and courage
and it is rare that those three
qualities are not enough. Stobbs
is less spectacular but more de.
veloped and he carried the greater
load last season.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 16.-Zach Tay-

st. Louis Browns again next year.
Bill De Witt, the Browns presi-
dent. said yesterday Taylor had
been signed to a one-year contract
to handle the American League
club in the 1850 baseball campaign.
Three coaches with the club last
season also were given one-year
contracts. They are Johnny Tobin,
Ralph Winegarner and Fred Ho1-
man.
A new coach, Earle Brucker, re-
Gently released by the Philadelphia
Athletics, also was taken on by
the Browns. Brucker will be in
charge Of the bullpen.
Under Taylor last season the St.
Louis club finished seventh.
De Witt told neWsmen yester-
day:
After giving considerable
thought to the matter for the last
several weeks. we have come to the
conclusion that Zach Taylor is the
logical man to manage the Browns
in 1850.
Zach has been q successful man
ager in our organization for many
years and has proved he can de-
velop and handle young players" "
De Witt said that Brucker "is
said to be one Of the finest han
dlers Of pitchers. He likes to work
in the bullpen and feels he will be
an able assistant to Zach in han
ding and instructing the pitchers.
Brucker fills in for Joe Schultz,
who recently was named manager
Of the Browns Wichita, Kans.,
farm club. Wichita is a new entry
in the Western League.
Taylor served as acting manager
Of the Browns briefly during the
1916 season after Luke Sewell was
released. He went to the Pittsburgh
Pirates as a coach in 1947 and
then signed as Brownie manager
