Jim Dykes
Picks Tribe
West Palm Beach, Fla. tU.R)
Jimmy Dykes Wednesday picked
the Cleveland Indians as the club
most likely to win the 1952
American league pennant.
"They should do it on their
pitching," he predicted, "plus the
fact that fellows like shortstop
Ray Boone and third baseman
Al Rosen are going to get bet
ter." Yanks Not Out
But, he warned, "don't count
the Yankees out."
On pitching, he figured, the
Indians shade the Yankees "and
I hear they have another great
one c ming up in Sam Jones. If
he comes through along with Bob
Lemon, Bobby Feller, Early
Wynn and Mike Garcia they'll
certainly have all the pitching
any club needs."

Great Dismal Swamp Still
Stands on Eastern Coast
Washington (U.R) An area
of unbroken wilderness stands
today in the middle of the crowd
ed eastern seaboard much the
same as when this country was
first founded. '".
The. Great Dismal Swamp
stretches over - half a ' million
acres of watery jungle' in Vir
ginia and North Carolina.-Botan
ists and foresters describe-its
heart, half the size of Delaware,
as the finest outdoor laboratory
of its kind on the continent. , -,
A "relict area" which holds an
undisturbed community of plants
and animals, the Great Dismal is
populated by raccoons, otters,
snakes, bears,' wild ducks and
deer. It has a permanent human
population of one family.. H:.:
Above Swamp Level '
Deep in the heart of the swamp
is Lake Drummonl. three miles
long and nearly as wide, the Na
tional Geographic Society says.
Its surface is as much as 10 feet
above the general level of the
swamp. , 1 -v,
Canals and ditches cut by lum
ber companies after the gums,
cypress, maple, and cedar trees
of the swamp still offer the only
access to the heart of the swamp.
Cutting across part of the
swamp is the Dismal Swamp Ca
nal, a 22-mile-long link in the
inter coastal waterway. It con
nects Hampton Roads, Va., with
the Pasquotank River and Albe
marle Sound in North Carolina.
The house of a government-employed
lock tender on the canal
is the: only permanent human
habitation in the swamp.
The Dismal has shrunk only
about one-third in the last 300
years and most of this has been
due to fire which burns the peat
of the forest floor in dry years.
