There weren't many of themwho ; could spare a moment to walk over 1 to that tiny oas.s of silence in the midst of bedlam There were far | too many other men with reaching) hands of congratulation and hugs of joy to enter that little niche of sanctuary.

He walked over there with that piano key- smile and stu>. k out his big. brown hand There were a lot of things apology, brief happiness and earnest congratulaion in Feller's eyes at that moment. He in turn reached out with an eager hand which once fired the fastest pit< h in base-ball and light ed that somber corner wi h his 1 •mile Nobody else could spare the time And Feller, with that grin still fas'ened to the very corners I of his mouth, continued to strip off 1 the uniform which he had helped make famous Only he < otild tell with exactness the thoughts which were racing through his mind at that mom ent But from nearby you could almost see him thinking of the day he failed to clinch the pennant for his cluh and left the job to an other: of how he lost a heart-break Ing two-hitter In the series as he ossed one of the most memorable games in the history of the classic. - and how he failed so miserably in I his second chance to realize a life-1 long dream The mdse continued a long time in the Indian dressing room,last night but. while rapid Robert was happv for the Isiys he played with, you knew he wasn't happy inside There were a lot of fellows hurt deeply when the Indians finally took the championship away from the Braves II just seemed odd to find one of them In the midst of the victors. ..... .
