Today s Sport Parade By Oscar Fraley (Reg. U. 8- Pat Off.) 0 0 e New York. June 10 —(UP)— Hank Greenberg, who ha* done little of hl* famed hammering since being sold to Pittsburgh by Detroit. Indicated strongly today that instead of winding up hl* career this year a* planned he would remain In uniform several more seasons. They had to coax Hank to Join the national league club after hi* sudden sale down the river. He wa* irritated over the short shrift he received from the team for which he had starred for so long and announced hbt retirement. But they talked Hank into playing and "it feel* so good'' that Greenberg is happy now he changed hl* mind. "I’m apt to be around some time yet,” he Mid a* he eat in the Pirate dugout at the polo ground*. "And if the Pirate* don’t want me, somebody may take a chance on me.” I Greenberg is bothered by hi* lack of hitting, hut the Piratee aren't considered likely to toss in the sponge. "Os course you have to get used to the pitcher* but I can't buy a hit.” Hank explained. “The bad weather ha* hurt me. but then I never started hitting until June — but. say. it’* mid-June now. They seem to be throwing the ball around the bat." Kirby Hlgbe, the blithe spirit the Piratee obtained last month from the Dodger*, looked up and Interrupted: “Well, f ain't pitcbln' anymore until you do start to hit." Greenberg grinned and then hedged on a question whether there were any marked difference* at all between the American and National league*. The big guy with the black hair Just didn’t want to blow the whittle on anybody. "Why should 1 tell you fellow*," he laughed. "I’m going to write a book myself some day. That's when I II let you know all the differences. "But the comparisons are bad when you try to compare league* or players," Greenberg added. "Babe Ruth and Jimmy Fox both went to the national league at the end and neither of them did very good Os course, Ruth wa* something special." o — Decatur CYO Wins First League Start The Decatur CYO team won it* first start in the Fort Wayne CYO Major league Monday night, defeating St. Joseph. 11 to 7.

it is NOT true that lightning never strikes twice In the same place. There is a popular notion that lightning never strikes in the same place more than once. As a matter of fact, lightning has been known to strike the same building several times during a single electrical storm The U.S. weather bureau says the trees, steeples, -chimneys and other tail objects and structures in elevat ed and exposed locations are likely to be struck by lightning regardless of the number of times they have been struck in the past. Os course, according to the law of probability, it Is not likely that lightning will strike in exactly the same place twice under ordinary circumstances. t _
