LIk-es Williams but Not Rabbit Bal Ted Wi saa ayr, Ty Cobb, îz one of the nicest fellowvs he rver met, a boy with a tremner- dons heart and a healthy, downvr- to-earth outlook on liie. SO said the greatest player h-I t.he histo-ry of basebalI, at Kali- sas Cit.y for an oldI-timers' night before a gamne between the Red Sox and A's.

Memories 0f Those Penny Candies From aur home on Metro- poitian Avenue, it was on-ly a skip anid a hop tw the store., You neyer stuck to the sýidewalk, howevýer, for it was far more fun td walk along the gutter and break tar bubbles, The scorchling summer sun formed them i in soft patches of tar ala.ng the edge of the road. Some had beautifulfly cuirved, shiny black canvex surfaces as large as a half dollar. One pake with, a sýtick would release the trapped waý,er, a sight that neyer failed ta please-.

The grass.wais a bit shabby ta bLu 5ure; the young oaks ai- t-hough resplenjdent in their green g4,arb) usualiy had a'broken 10W- er 11mb or two, and the cross.- gamne was a thrilling thing ta Watch. ù' ften wonder What Larry Ljoie would have done against this lively bal,» Ty said, emiilng, "He -had aà,wondferful strokezr, like Williams, and Would almzost tear the legs off the týhIrd basemnan, even wth the dead4 bal.", ISAFELODRIVîNG heurS eté betýveeu 4:N MOST LETHAI. lime of de> It> driwe la k.M end 7:59 k.M.

Directly across fron tire up- per end of the park, stoad large duplex irouse. One corner room had been used as a gro- ca-ry forass long as I cfare- m-embar and it is probabl'y su occupiad toda<ýr, As yatu entered tre door, tire penny candy coun- ter with' its sloping -glass front, spotted with tire sam-i-t.ranspar- 4--t impressions of smnall noses md sticky fingers, was at the left. As often as niot, tire romn was rnipty, for tira owner lived ir. an apa.rtronat aboyea and be- liad tefi store. A sinall window la tire rear wiall opened i.nt( iris k1tchea. 'Whean thz bel! over the door jan-igled, a face woiuld ap- pear, and sean lie - or she - wauld enter fromn a irailway at the right, Tir-ue spent waiting for Mr. r,.- Mrs. Pomner -was neyer wasted. You irad a great array cf cady te look oývar, and 1,f moare than one penny was yours to spend, many difflcult deci- sions t(; rhake, comrpouLnded by tire n-umbers of cappers iavolv- ed. î kniewtire contents ,,ifthat case by heart and tira precise location cf each item, but tris neyer seemed to lessen the mag- nitude ai tire problerin. Tlhere were .-nany factors ta be weighed, Somie candies Were three for a cent, sucir as tire iragrant green' mini beavas we ail liked, otirers such as- Boston Baked Beans ,vere measured ciit iný a sinal woaden bean)- pot, and quite a numrrber (ef clu- clous candycoated peanuts were yours for a cent. Long.- strips ai jet black lico- rice were a great favorite and probably gave you as -nuchr value fer a penn'y as any itemr in tire case, Thre real licorico was great, but I recall thiat tire red and green items tirai as- ssuned the shape af licorice wirips irad a taste that leit miuci tabe desired., If memoary serves mne cor-rect- ly, an ahi-persuasive odor Of pickle lingered la the vicinity of tire candy couniter. It cýame fro'm an, ornato Jar, once used for candy, that stajod on to)p oi tire counter, A whole pickle wàs five cents; a generaus suice was a9,mare tirree pennies. Pickles anid 1 have. neyer been" great frîends, but l'Il readily admit that a candy counter can oiîly ire tira real thing if yau, cani sniff pickle smnell around t. Closing miy eyes and scanning from lait ta right, 'd say tira Une -up la the Pomner candy casa went soietirng like th1s. Firsi carne rmini juleps,a tangy candy that was two for a cent and had a tiavor that macle themr dang.erous t'iirings ta eat in, a 'cla-ssromr. Any teacher could detect tha smiel]ofai a int julep, or the green leavas, at a go.od hali mil1ie. Or at - least se it seemned, Next hintire row caeano ln- pareils, tire littie chocolate wafers with the white jimmy. Next came bull's-eyes, which require no description. if youý- have neyer eaten a bull's-eye, yeu-'ve neyer spant a childhood la Massachusetts. Maple sugar cakes came next, followed close.- !y by littietn dishes complete with a small tin spoan. The dish was filled With a soit sreamyý mixtuire that usually praved ta be tougher than tihe spoon. You;i wound up scraping tire swee-t fram thre tin with your teetir,. but this was considered alil part of thre gai-e. One of my favorite candies wsa small bar about 'two inches long, one-quarter incir square, a muddish brawn li, col- or and rather coarse in texture. Its flavor was a bit on tire Minus sida, but its na-ine made up for ail deflcQe.ieies, With typiceal Yankee farthrightness it waý* called a mud bar, and it was worth a c,,ent any day, Ir, fact, I'd giad'ly pay alrnast any sum for one right now, - You can't wvrite about penny candy and omit sucir items as the sinali candies which camne fastened to a narrow strip of whîte paper. Memeory fails ta, produce a name, but the amount af paper consumned along with thre candy kept this item from being held in high esteemn by miy s et. Along tire bottom aif the case were such delicacies as imita- tion ice cream canes, Mary Janes, Boîsters, and small w.ax botties which contained a sweet liquid. These "candies" gave you double value, You bit off thre top aif the bottie, drank tire lîquid, and then chewed thre container until the wax crumn- bled ta dust. Not one of rmy favorites at aIL, Next ta tire wax items came the candy peanuts and banauias, and just past them the candy which every youngster Uiked - old fashioneds, Creamny Wite, they had a sort of bittww.eýt-t cirocolate coatin.g, a~n unbeatable combination. One or two other select -ebild- hood swveets rriust be ineationed, Tirere was Oh Boy Gum, a gîaat-sized stick la a brilliarit yeilow wrapper. 1t was prob- ably tire frst appearance àf bubble gumr. Just the size af the stick alon)re made Oh Boy Guna a bargain; the fact tirat you ecoutld bowbubirles with it as well was sheer largesse deliv- ered by a benevolent mnanufac- tuTer. Oh B3oy Gum prabably got more youngste.rs into hot water in schoi than any gum since - but it was warth it.
