...Pennsylvania Railroad's 9:35 a.m. train from Harrington, Del. to Franklin City, Va. isn't very impressive. It is made up of a locomotive, an ancient coach and a string of spavined baggage cars. But since nothing else runs on the 78 miles of grass-grown single track which wobbles its way between the two towns, the 9:35 is well known on the Eastern Shore. So is the 9:35-8 brakeman, Fred Warrington, of Harrington, who has worked for the Pennsy for 33 years. Last week Warrington's differences with . the Government made news...
...helped win the Seals the coast league pennant with a .398 batting average and was voted the league's most valuable player. To get Joe on the Yankee string, the late Colonel Jake Ruppert paid out $25,000 (plus five other players).

Chuck Glynn is the fourth man. He played first-string center last year until shelved by an injury. Even with a cast on the injured hand, he was used on offense by Dick Harlow. Chuck is back now, minus the cast, and intends to outfight his three competitors for the starting job. He started getting into shape at his New York home this summer a month before fall practice opened. Like O'Brien, Stone, and Hickey, he may be used as a defensive line-backer this fall...
