NEW YORK (AP)— In a year
when home run talk dominates
baseball and the nation watches

storm Babe Ruth’s old record, it
is strange to find pitchers also
stretching toward new heights.

Spahn, of course, deserves the

the long history of baseball have
won as many as 300 games. Only
five of them started their big
Five years after he finally re-
tires, Spahn is almost a sure
thing to join them.
The Milwaukee club saved
Spahn’s try for 300 until the club
came home from its road trip to
California. But Spahn's 300th vic-
tory would be cheered in any ball
park in the nation, no matter
what team he had beaten. One
of the highlights of the recent sec-
ond All-Star game at Boston was
the tremendous ovation given
Spahn when the ex-Boston Brave
was introduced in pre-game cer-
emonies.
Ford is in a different category.
Counting his 19 victories of this
season his big league total is 152,
just about half of Spahn’s. How-
ever, the last Yankee to win 14
in a row was Jack Chesboro in
1904. The league record of 16
straight is held by four men-
Walter Johnson, Joe Wood. School-
boy Rowe and Grove. The mod-

For the current Cadillac is, obviously
and literally, a car without a compromise.
Who, for instance, could behold its great
beauty and doubt that it will be the cyno-
sure of all eyes wherever it travels?
Who could take command of its wheel
and doubt that it baa set a standard of
performance that will be honored by years
of emulation?
And who, indeed, could study the
practical aspects of Cadillac ownership and
doubt that this is the wisest investment of
them all?
Original price . . maintenance and
upkeep... gasoline efficiency ...resale value

able clarity.
