ground"
The little log cabin in which
Lincoln was born is now within
a marble shrine. Nearby strong
spring bursts from the rocks at
one end of cavity and goes
back into the ground at the other
end. When Tom Lincoln lived
there, the place was called the
Sinking Spring Farm. Cedars
grow around the limestone knob
on which the shrine stands The
logs of the cabin appear to be of
cedar. Signs within the marble
walls tell the history of this pi-
oneer home, which for years in
the mid nineteenth century was
a schoolhouse. The account is
very clear, and it seems that this
was really the home in which Lin
coin was born. More than a mil
lion people come to the spot each
year, drawn by the eternal riddle
Of the sad, shrewd mystery that
was Abraham Lincoln.

Lincoln, making the above
statement in 1860, did not gauge
the distance correctly from his
birthplace to Hodgen's Mill, now
the county seat town of Hodgens

miles. The people in Hodgenville

Here Tom Lincoln brought his

ON this stream from 1911 to 1916.
A great triangular bottom lies
between the hills, and this the
carpenter father farmed in his

hint of the bad fortune awaiting
him as Holy Gross coach early
in his tenure. That was on Oc1
tober 23rd, 1948, when Holy Cross
faced its old rival from upstate
New York, Colgate, on the Cru-
saders' home field at Worcester.
That was the day that Holy
Cross and the city of Worcester
chose officially to welcome Bill
Osmanski back to the scene of
his under graduate triumphs. 1t

good day to pick. Holy Cross was
favored to whip the three times
beaten Colgate team. And Colgate
hadn't won a game from Holy
/. Cross in seven long years.
Before the opening kickoff,
Holy Cross officials, students and
alumni joined with Worcester city
officials in heaping extravagant
praise on Csmanski and showering
him with gifts.
The ceremonies over, the ref
eree's whistle sounded and the
game was on. And Osmanski's
day must have seemed complete
as his Holy Cross team struck
for a touchdown late in the first
quarter. Quarterback Wally Bren-

Playing late IN the afternoon
with the sun bated and the
wind down, the Navy team show
ed themselves to be way up"
for this one by going after Sell
lers and HartenStine from the
opening gun with a full-bodied
attack into the base line and had
the favored pair squeezing for
points to rtay even. AT twoall,
Sellers and Hartenstine cracked
Bowman's flat service, but the
Navy at once broke through Sell
ler's delivery with deep cross
court service returns that drove
Jack back on his heels, having
failed to break ground fast
enough after serving.
Games then followed service to
5-4, in favor of Bowen and Ham
blen when Hartcnstine wobbled
on service with two double faults
and the Navy held those two set
points. Playing with the slower
Dunlaps rather than Wright and
DitSons, Hartenstine's spins were
less feroeious. but Bowen and
Hamblen still could not grasp
that one big point that would

In the crucial tenth game the

tBy qhc Associated Press)

President Bob Carpenter of
the Philadelphia Phillies says
his team could win the National
League pennant this year if he
could buy a .300-hitting outfiel-
der and l5-game pitcher.
That's a rather sizeable if, isn't
it? And nobody knows that bet
ter than Carpenter. AS he points
out. you can't buy players like
that and they're just not avail
able on the Philly farm teams.
Carpente rsays that a team has
to go to its farm clubs for fresh
talent these days. In Bob's words
you can buy players, but only
the kind that help you finish in
the second division.
