lflayer Fids Baseball Four Wes-m-Hen-led fans have been called the roost rabid and at times the most uniuereifui group of apart toi- lowers in the world but they can also be the most warin-hearted as Lefty Meclileer. learned last week.

Lefty does not lmow who those fans were but the spirit of the gesture probably means much m' re to him than all the praise he rczfived when he was at the sum- ml of his pitching prowess. There were some others who helped make Christmas a happy one for him. These were the staff members of R. T. Holman Ltd. where Lefty worked before he went toihospitei. They have been most kind to him during his stay in hos- pita. In a few weeks he will be back to work. It is highly unlikely he will be back to baseball. It would be impossible for him to stride off the rubber on his right (not when he would be delivering that left handed hook that has fooled so many batters.
