4-8234 APPROVED 4 WEEK COURSE ass CLASS STARTS WED. OCT. I Boston, Oct. 5. We came back to our hotel in the dark through the twisting, cowpath streets of this famous old town.

Our taxi passed a scarlet-enamelled truck-apparently-returning from a routine alarm. The firemen were wiping soot-stained faces -with the backs of blackened hands as they wearily peeled off rubber coats and doffed helmets. Trailing1 them came the red headlights of an ambulance and we caught a fleeting glimpseof a white-jacketed interne curled on the bottom' of his spine beside his driver. He was staring ahead with hollow, unfocussed eyes, his cigaret slack in his lips. We thought, here we are, a sports writer, all set to see another World Series and ready to do a lot of literary frothing of the typewriter about deeds of heroism, valor, bulldog courage and similar melodramatic applesauce, when in Boston, and in cities all over America, men are leading quiet lives of authentic courage that make our annual World Series hysteria look mighty silly.

rv 14 ill JsN How ferocious can a base on balls get, or how ruthless can a pop fir become? We write of "veins running with ice water" as a big, red-necked ex-plow jockey, earning $50,000 a year, pursues a little white sphere of horsehide rolling across the-grass in a game designed primarily for children. At the very instant thousands of citizens are screaming deliriously because some ex-valet of Poland China hogs stumbles half the length of the average front lawn to field a bunt, some out-precinct cop might be walking into a gin mill to face "a stick-up guy charged to his pin-point pupils with heroin and waving a snub-nosed .32. 7 ml ml A PUNCTURE-SEALING SAFETY TUBE We are all for baseball and we get a kick out of the game. But we hope we will remember that while some Tobacco Road Tarzan with a low IQ is cow-tailing an ash bat in the seventh inning, the nation has other "heroes," genuine articles. In the emergency rooms, internes will be doing miraculous patch jobs on stab wounds, gas cases, auto smashups and attempted suicides.

Many a calm-faced nun will be walking into wards where highly mfectious cases are bedded. High voltage electricians and structural steel workers will be on their jobs as usual. There will be firemen choking their lungs out in tenement basements and scalpels will be flashing as competent surgeons slice into the ventricles of some poor wretch's heart. Many an involved operation calling for expert crocheting, patching and vulcanizing of the human gizzards is an eight-hour job. And many are done for free with no choice between a winner's check of $6,000 and a loser's of $4,000.

Life or death are the twin jackpots. If Mil aSff mMsm For a Change-Over on your new car or a step-up to Generals on your old car see one of these selected car or tire dealers. There are real hazards that command respect and admiration in even the most prosaic jobs.

Many a humble fan with a house full of children-and a skimpy weekly pay check requires far more courage to lead his "life of quiet desperation."

Life just happens to be like that. We select our heroes and we scream ourselves hoarse over them, no matter how worthy they may or may not be. We expect to -enjoy the Series. We always do. But we cannot forget that it is a commercial enterprise, a harlequinade complete with theatrical costumes, a giant puppet show with Punch and Judy principals who are well paid to face savage grounders, bellicose foul tips, blood-thirsty bunts, ruthless home runs, and ferocious stolen bases.

YOnkers 5-9367 14 Tiome runs. Mitchell, fast but less of a distance clouter, was the AL's third highest hitter at .336. Both swing from the left. With Heath out and switch-hitting Jimmy Russell still bedded with a strep infection, the Braves must go with Clint Conatser and Mike McCormick against southpaws and either one with Marv Rickert against righthanders. Conatser and McCormick are both better-than-average fielders.

Rickert, brought up from Milwaukee, failed dismally both at bat and afield in previous trials with the Cubs and Reds. In the final analysis, it looks like Cleveland all the way. Just too much pitching, infield, outfield and hitting. But those games still have to be played. Remember the Braves of 1914? Holmes is almost always on base one way or another, tie hits to all fields and has no apparent weakness, at the plate.

On defense, he has only fair speed but is a fine judge of fly balls. His arm is accurate, but wea. His '48 record: .325 BA, 53 RBI and 6 II R. Neither Walt Judnich nor Allie Clark nor Bob Kennedy, all right-fielders at one time or another, can match Holmes. Clark is the best hitter of the three .312 and nine homers.

Kennedy is the best fielder While Judnich, the lone southpaw winger, hit but -257. In center and left, Larry Do by nd Dale Mitchell offer Cleveland big advantage. The Negro star, very fast and strong-armed, finished his first full wason with a 301 batting: mark. Ho slammed 1603 Central Ave. Far Rackaway Tel.
