hit Stan MuSial. Danny said
he was.
AS Hodges told it. the Cardi-
mails had q runner on second

tight ball game. Grissom
pitched to Musial, but after
the count reached 3-and-1
Grissom was ordered to walk

ment at the end Of the season.
"He used to murder us in
Ebbets Field" the ex-Dodger
star said. I'll bet he hit 400
or more against us there"
Gil said he was not par
ticularly close to Musial, al
thought he has the greatest
respect and admiration for him.
II presume he is serious
about his retirement" Gil said,
but I'll bet he could hit until
he is so. His legs might not
respond, but, like Rogers
Hornsby, I'll bet Musial will
never lose that batting eye"
Gil was asked If he observed
age making any inroads on
Musial over the last couple of
years.
Hodges thought for a moment
over a long drag on a cigarette
before replying. I'D say he
might have started swinging at
more bad pitches over the last

had a fine record last season, f"

needed a squirt it might have q
psychological effect" he said
II know it would mean a great
deal to him to go out on a win

nouncement could have some
effect"
Hodges said Musial was the
greatest at hitting to all fields

cessful and harmonious ses-
sion in Youngstown, Ohio,
August Is, with registration
showing the attendance of
some 200 business and profes-

on the effects of automation
and the great necessity of
urging boys and girls to re-

hancing their opportunities to
meet the demands and occu-
pational requirements of this
challenging age of automa-
