: When earrings were first
inaugurated, they were in the
same class with nose-rings
and lip pieces worn by the
primitive people as they were
worn only in pierced ears.
At certain periods, earrings
were worn as cymbols of

Things are not nearly so

When business is dull in the
Yankee camp, all the boys

sharp breaking curves.
And Lepcio does not ap-
pear to have overcome his

them.
In the same category you
can place Boiling, Console,
zauchin and Olson.
Freshman manager Pinky
Higgins has been carefully
guiding his words in press
conferences.
What he's been seeing
among his rockies, however,
must be somewhat justifying,
in his mind, Lou Boudreau'S
decision to use Hatton, Mele,
Lendhart and some other old
timers last year.
1t could be, and maybe is
true, that Cronin and Higgins
see potential greatness in
their rockies and have the
patience, which observers
lack, to wait until their talents
are developed.
Rronl what we've seen down
heref1 however, the rockies
who keep your hope high are
a couple of kids you have
read little about.
Our favorites are Faye
ThrOnenberry and Gene
Stevens, a couple of left
handed swinging out
fielders.
Thronenberry is just
back from a two-year army
stretch and needs a little
time to get rid of the rust.
But even now, he's hit
ting with more consistency
than any rookie in the
Sox camp.
1t might be significant
that Thronenberry has
been spending lot of time
on the bench with most of
the SOx regulars during
the exhibition games.
1t is our guess that he will
be Ted Williams number one
in left field when
ever the big guy feels in need
Of a rest during the. coming
year. That is, unless Williams
upsets this story altogether
and announces his definite
retirement before this report
gets in print.
Stephens is the most ma
tural looking hitter in camp
He can run like a frightened
deer, plays the outheld well,
and has strong throwing
arm.
He hit 2S0 with Louisville
last year under Higgins. He
suffers his share of weakness
against the wide breaking
curve. But he's shown enough
improvement against the curve
since arriving in camp to
bring predictions from the
Sox bosses that experience
will cure his ailment.
With the heralded Marty
Keough to graduate from the
Louisville farm team once he
serves his army duty, the SoX
outfield problems will be solved
for many years to come.
The existing problem for the
Sox is their infield, and the
solution seems nowhere in
sight.
Boiling flashes brilliantly at
times, and then cools off his
performance with some hor-
rible throws.

himself to be one of those er-

Why Grow Old?
REMOVE STAINS.
By Josephine Lowmon

This is a quotation from a
letter which just came to me.
Dear Mrs. Lowman:
1--WE have had a piano since
the children were small. My
daughter, who is now married,
played it for her own amuse-
ment, The whole family sang
together as a group quite
often. It was fun!
"Since my daughter Is now
on her own, the piano still
stands in the same place in
the living room. I decided to
do something about it. I sent
for a first year course.
Believe it or not I now
spend many hours playing for
my own enjoyment and relax
alton. I feel years younger and
happier because I am doing
the thing I wanted to since
I was a girl of ten. My Dad
could not afford to pay for les
sons, much less buy a piano.

sentence - You're never too

that as a sort of slogan be-
cause it so well expresses the
convictions of this author.
While bringing a child over
the dangerous road from its
first cry to intelligent, happy,

of the most important and the
richest and happiest ways a
woman could possibly express
herself - while being a tender

while running a pleasant home
