Summer knew whereof he spoke. For that young man was Oscar Melillo. second sacker of the St Ixmis Browns. And in truth the pitching of Senor Vernon “Lefty” Gomez, youthful Yankee Ace. was "meat on the table” for him. And ’herein lies another of those jinx stories which abound in baseball. Now it seems that to Senor Gomez the St. Louis Browns were what one might call easy pickin's. That day when the Senor was slated to pitch against the Browns was THE perfect day for him Why the good Senor could just walk out to the box, autograph the ball and then go home knowing that one more victory would be I added to his winning record Just once did the Senor fail against 'he'

And while mention of the Browns makes the Senor laugh right out loud, even the thought of the spinach-eating second baseman is enough to give the good Senor a stomach-ache. •Regarding the phrase "spinacheating ” Melillo had long suffered from a stomach ailment which threatened to cut short his career on the diamond. Then came the “eat spinach” order and with it complete recovery. Melillo now is able to vary his meals, but that good old spinach (eat it Darling, it will do you good), still is an im-1 portant part of the daily diet. And<
