Tebbetts sized up the then- Yankee hurler and made a mental note about what he would do if he was ever in a position to use a good man. That came about in a short time when Birdie was named manager of the In dianapolis Indians and needed a coach.

This prompted" Glenn Gostic of Minneapolis, a reader of the national baseball weekly, to ask the definition of "kroavney." Not knowing the definition, Oscar Ruhl of The Sporting News consulted Dr. Parker and Dan reported: "Kroavney is a half between a schliftieel and a paskudnyak and should be pronounced with an umlat." . ^ .

To a Comet When Tom Ferrick, the bu; righthanded pitcher, joined Birdie Tebbetts' All-Star squad for a tour of New England in 1950. he looked upon the jaunt only as a* means to pick up a few extra dollars. But what he didn't burgh, although not naming players they want, may mean a trade in the near future. Milwaukee general manager John Quinn, declared that his club is ready to give up some of its pitchers for a top outfieldter and a front-line infielder, now that Phil Paine and Chet Nichols will be available by service discharge. Branch Rickey of the Pirates is quoted in The Sporting News as saying: "I don't want to trade O'Connell . . but if we see a chance to get two or three playeis who will help, I would trade anyone.

Here's what she says: "I told my Sister that I was s°in£ to write to you and ask if you would please write in your column and tell the real meaning of Christmas and Thanksgiving because everybody thinks they are for presents and a big fat turkey." Now, there ts » oig order! When our own children were small, the standard answer to a puzzling question was always, "Ask your mother." Guess we can't dodge this one. How about taking Thanksgiving now and going into the Christmas question later? We think the early settlers in Our country set aside one day (after building homes and haresting crops) to thank God foi blessings which they had received and called that day Thanksgiving. They did not set the day aside to see what thej would l eeeive. My dear little girl, let's remember to take more than a half minute before we dig intf that turkey to express outflanks. Let's start eailier in th< day. But. let's not be too seri ous the rest of the day -- especially a little girl who likes t< laugh and be happy. Let's thank God for all of His blessings good health, good parents, good children, good schools, good churches, good training that corrects the little bit of bad in every good little boy and girl.< » Let's be thankful for the blessings which we have had and try to earn future blessings through our good deeds.
