Just a half dozen more timely hits by Bill might have won the 1940 pennant for the Yanks, who finâ€" ished only two games back of Detroit. Some thought Bill had just run down at 33 after 11 years with New York. Others figured he was worrled about his health, Lou Gehrig was Bill‘s road trips roomâ€"mate and when husky Lou was stricken in his prime the blow struck Dickey harder than any of Lou‘s other friends. But there was nothing wrong with Bill. Apparently he realized this during the off season and determined to get into shape for more .good seasons.

Many thought that the tall, easyâ€" going New York Yankee catcher‘s days were numbered as they watched him dragging his heels last year. In the coast league last season he batted .363, knocked 41 homers, and batted in 171 runs.

The early morning raid followed by only a few hours another violent sweep of the Germanâ€"occupiled territory just at sunset last evening. Clusters of searchlight beams swept out from the enemy coast and pierced the sky all the way to midâ€"channel. Antiâ€"aircraft fire of great intensity met the waves of raiders, but‘the raid went on without a break. Bombers swept across the starlit sky in such force that sleeping residents in the British coast were awakened by the roar of their engines. The explosions of their super bombs were heard for many miles and flames of fires set in the attack cast a glare along a tmnty â€"~mile front. Make no mistake about it. Toâ€" night and toâ€"morrow night are the dates of this year‘s Kiwanis carnival â€"Thursday and Friday, June 26th and 2ith. In an advertisement in The Adâ€" vance on Monday and also in a headâ€" ing the days were given as Friday and Saturday, though the dates, June 26th and 27th, were correctly set down. Just how the mistake occurred does not seem clear, but these things hapâ€" pen.
