We have a fawn-colored
cat named Cafe-au-Lait with
loads of personality and a
talent for bringing us a litter
of kittens every few months.
Our lithesome Cafe is the
only genuinely affectionate
cat 1 have ever known.
CAFE WILL LEAP up into
my lap when I'm taking it
easy, curl up coquettishly and
lick my finger tips. Some
times she will spring from
my lap onto the carpet, roll
over into a kind of Cleopatra
pose and look up at me Ian
guorously with her penetrat-
ing gray-green eyes.
Like a dog, she will take
walks with me about the
farm, trotting along at my
heels. Our collie-shepherd,
Nickie, is quite tolerant of
this unladylike behavior. AL
though usually an extremely
jealous dog. Nickie has be-
come very fond of Cafe.
But the other day Nickie,
for the first time, snapped at
Cafe angrily-and all because
Nickie. at the ripe age of
seven, is a frustrated father.
Cafe had her third or
fourth litter of kittens, and
we put the kittens in a basket
in the kitchen. Early in the
morning we let Cafe in the
house to nurse them, and it
was then that Nickie walked
in on the scene.
The effect on Nick was pro-
found: He gave a sort of
double take Of Cafe and her
babies. He walked to within

over with the utmost fasci-

On Expansion

NEW YORK, Jan. 4 (AP).-
Commissioner Ford Frick to-
day went into top-level con-
ference with President Warren
Giles of the National League
and President Joe Cronin OF
the American League in an ef-
fort to settle the remaining
expansion problems.
In all the frantic maneuver-
ing by the majors in expand
ing to 10 teams each. a reso-
luton granting immediate rec
ognition to the two new Ma
tional League teams-New York
and Houston - never was
passed.
Until they are taken into the
official family. even though
they aren't scheduled to start
operation until 1862, the two
clubs cannot organize a farm
| system, make minor league
working agreements or sign free
agents.
Frick said he hopes Giles
and Cronin will put the matter
to an immediate mail vote.
No arguments are expected.
On December 7 the American
League asked more time to
study the resolution. At that
time the leagues still were
pickering over the expansion
problem. Now that the Ameri-
can League has moved into Los
Angeles, all is smooth.
Another matter that Frick
Giles and Cronin will discuss
is the method Of stockpiling
the new clubs. The National
League is reported to be against
the AL system Of each of the
new clubs buying % players for

As Long-Suffering Fans
E|ated Over Hiring ofLane
Gordon Is Calm
About Reunion
With Old Boss

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 4 (AP).
kansas City baseball fans,
who can stand a change, found
themselves yesterday with the
American Leagues leading op-
ponent of the status quo.
They're delighted.
Reaction to the appointment
Of Frank Lane of the Cleveland
Indians as vice president and
general manager of the Athlet-
les was overwhelmingly favor
able.
This is indeed a joyous day."
said Joe Coyle, one of 80 fans
polled by the Kansas City Star.
OF those polled. "a approved
the appointment of the 64-
year-old Lane and only three
were against it. Two fans
wouldn't take a stand either
way and the other, a visitor
from Pittsburgh, was unmoved.
Any Change Helps
The Athletics finished in the
cellar last year, and they
haven't flelded a good team
since they transferred from
Philadelphia in 1854. On top
of this, the teams late owner,
Arnold johnson, demonstrated
an irritating propensity to
trade what talent the AS did
have to the Yankees for Sec
ond-line personnel.
Thus the fans are receptive
to any change that offers hope
of improvement.
Speaking for the dissenters,
Frank Castleman said Lane
wrecked the Cleveland club
with trades"
But Ralph Rago said he's
happy to get Lane because "he
will build up the team and
make the right trades"
Some of the fans tempered
their enthusiasm with concern
over the status of Joe Gordon,
new field manager of the
Athletics.
How long will it take him
to trade or fire Gordon?" asked
Abe Rosenberg.
Gordon Not Worried
Lane and Gordon were as
sociated at Cleveland. Whether
they worked together was a
subject upon which even they
couldn't always agree. Lane
fired Gordon, rehired him and
then last season traded him to
Detroit for Manager Jimmie
Dykes.
Nevertheless. Gordon an
