[continued from front page] somewhere on one of the other two single A teams. ““I just hope to move up a notch each year, eventually playing major league ball.” Because he is much younger than many of the players, Mitch believes the Red Sox will move him along at a slower pace. ‘‘They will not rush me and get me over my head,” he says, ‘‘and I feel good about that.” Mitch grins and adds that he ‘“‘should be ready for the majors in four or five years.’ Mitch’s advice to young kids who would like to play professional baseball is to play as often as they can now. ‘‘The kids in the warm- weather states have a real advantage,”” says Mitch. “In California they play legion ball right through Christmas. “If you want to compete with the players from Florida, California and other warm states, you have got to play from March until September.”’ resume league play next Tuesday, Jan. 6, when they once again meet Manheim Township at Township.

After graduation in June, he will return to Germany and attend a University. The Glantzes are enjoying their visit to the States, and they note that the weather is somewhat different here— hotter in the summer and colder in the winter. Henry told us something of his experiences in Germany during the 2nd World War. He has vivid recollections of the air raids and bombings that took place when he was but ten years of age. He remembers his home being destroyed and the doors and windows ruined in his second home— both from bombings. Each time the bombers ap- proached, the entire popula- tion would take refuge in cellars and specially pro- vided bomb shelters, emerging from them only after the ‘‘all clear’’ signal sounded. Henry followed in his brother's footsteps and studied nuclear physics at the University of Gottinger and the University of Heidelberg. Although they have found things to their liking in the Donegal area, the Glantzes are looking forward to returning to their home in Germany.
