others, most of the
gaps are plugged. Ruth, Cobb and
Wagner’s remain unfilled. But we
have now come to a spot in the
game that either Gen. Abner
Doubleday or someone else in­
vented where we have to look
around for other gap-fillers.
Bill Dickey is through as a
player. So is Mickey Cochrane,
another catching brilliant. Wil­
liams and Musial should have
a few years more. They are
two of the tops—maybe the
best. But Joe DiMaggio, Bob
Feller, Ewell Blackwell, Char­
ley Keller, Whitey Kurowski,
Marty Marion, and many more
a r e nearing the borderline
where the sign reads—“Game
Called.”
It must be admitted there are
not too many headliners left from
the old guard. Ted Williams is the
top man now. Musial is struggling
in the grip of an early season
slump. Newhouser is still pitching
well, but he isn’t winning as he used
to win. Blackwell, a great pitcher,
has been struck down. He may or
may not come along later on. Char­
lie Keller is now out in No-Man's
Land. No one knows when he will
be back. Feller is a bull-pen pitcher.
“Where are the gods of yesterday?”
So they are asking today who
will take the places of Dimag­
gio, Williams, Feller, Musial,
Marion. Newhouser, Boudreau
and other headliners who will
soon be over the hill. This
makes one of the greatest
guesses in sporting history.
Who will be the coming stars to
fill these gaps? For there will soon

Two big questions came up dur­

1. How far should we go tn con­

2. Where should we draw the
line on German recovery?
