Veteran Klem Rates Wagner Tops BILL KLEM calls Marty Marion of the St. Louis Cardinals the equal of Honus Wagner in fielding, at shortstop, but in all other respects the former National league umpire, who saw Honus in his prime, declares the Pittsburgh infielder was Marty's superior. “I'll have to admit,” Klem said at his home in Miami Beach, Fla., when asked to compare the two, “that Marion handles himself Just as well as Wagner did in the field. Of course, at the bat, Marion is no Wagner and Indeed, few were. Old Honus had it all over him there. And at running bases he was a master, where Marion isn't, ” LJ ” » ” » “HONUS' size used to scare the opposition, too. You know, the first year Marion was up there, I watched him play and really felt sorry for him. He couldn't do anything right. But the next year I was so impressed I had to tell him: ‘Son, you're the most improved ball player I ever did tee’ And what a shortstop he is now!”

rabbits there are bounding about seen because of the heavy brush --some still green. What this state needs is a good fast freeze with a few days of high winds and rain. That would clean out the brush and give rabbit hunters a chance to see a rabbit long enough to get in a few shots, Of course the first heavy cold wave in Canada will be followed two days later by ducks flashing across Indiana blinds.

Early reports from hunters tend to show rabbits spotty but over all in good abundance. Some of the low hunting grounds have suffered from the increase in foxes but so far the picture looks good. . » » »
