THE BASEBALL
BE A 7
By BURTON HAWKINS

But when the bell rang, Feller
and most of the other topflight
pitchers were prepared. Per.
haps, too, they had discovered q
weakness in the armor Of a few
rookie sensations. The word
travels, among pitchers, as fast
as those 'basketballs" they're
going to whisk around the globe.
Let one pitcher learn that a hit
ter is a sucker for a swift one.
In close, letter-high, and the
news might just as well be sent
out by the Associated Press.
The Yankees lose a few games
in training camp surroundings
and Immediately hope bubbles In
seven other American League
squads. Maybe Irv Noren is go
ing TO have trouble with his legs.
Maybe the Yankees will have
trouble locating an acceptable
shortstop. Understand some OF
those Fellows aren't TOO parIlcu"
lar what time they get back Co
the hotel, either.

But a 800 record in exhibition
games is transformed into an 90
mark come Opening Day. What's
gone before is simply lot OF
muscle-tuning.
So, shucks, we're going to play
1t coy this time. Wait and see.
No superlatives. no flashes. no
wonders. But they tell me
that Dick Tettelbach's a real
good hitter. And If that Bob
Wiesler shows he can find the
plate-ummm, look out. And
Lou Berberet. The scouts say he
can make it. And If Karl Olson
finds himself, and Herb Plews
shows he can handle second
base. and some of those young
pitchers develop-gee, might be
interesting, at that.

Knowing that you cover the globe
III such short while, l am asking
II you will try to bring some things
that we arc il great need of through

In order to save time you need

My first request is that you bring
a portion of divine love to everyone
Perhaps if each of us have just
little it will multiply and be more
abundant.
