Broken fishing rods can he repaired quickly with an ingenious device now available called Jiffy Ferrules. These are short metal tubes into which the broken rod is inserted, being locked in place with screw-in ends. The ferrules are precision tooled of stainless aluminum, are rust-resisting and non-corroding. Extremely light in weight they will not interfere with the balance of the rod. Jiffy Ferrules come in sets of three, in different diameters, and sell for $1.55 a set postpaid. They are available from A. F. Driscoll Co., Box 2026, Denver, Colo. MEN'S MILLINERY DEPT. This season, and maybe next, the outdoor man will wear something snappy in headgear in a new all-purpose sports cap which does several things. It has a rigid green visor made of Vinylite which keeps out the glare, and it also has a zipper pocket on the front of the crown which provides a handy container for small items. One model goes even further, having welded loops for golf tees or fish flies. Made by Westbrook Hats, Inc., 721 Broadway, New York City, the caps with the plain visor retail for $1.95 while those with the golf tee visor sell for $2.50. COLORFUL CAR POLISH. Something different in automobile polish is Dupli-Color which comes in colors to match your car. Said to clean, wax and polish in one operation, it is applied with a soft cloth. After drying it wipes off smoothly without leaving the white chalky deposits ordinarily left in co nets, cracks and seams. At the same time it does not discolor your hands. Made by Dupli-Color Products Co., 2440 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago 16, the polish sells for 69t east of Denver, 79£ west. Famous players in every major sport — including such baseball DICK TRACY STUFF.

  • Terry Cullen
    BBaasseebbaallll HHiissttoorryy by Terry Cullen Member, Society For American Baseball Research World Series Facts In the history of the World Series, only 10 teams have taken the field with no players with World Series experience. Obviously this happened several times early on – six times in the first four years of World Series play. The most recent, of course, was the 2003 Anaheim Angels. You have to go all the way back to the 1912 Boston Red Sox to find the last victorious World Series team with no World Series experienced players. That year the Bostonians streaked to 105 wins, then an American League record, in their gleaming new ball park. No Players With World Series Experience 1903 Boston Pilgrims (W) 1907 Detroit Tigers (L) Pittsburgh Pirates (L) 1912 Boston Red Sox (W) 1905 New York Giants (W) 1944 St. Louis Browns (L) Philadelphia A’s (L) 1961 Cincinnati Reds (L) 1906 Chicago Cubs (L) 2002 Anaheim Angels (W) In addition, the 2002 series featured the San Francisco Giants, who had only five players with previous Worlds Series experience. Having five players or fewer totals on both teams has only happened six times, including the first three years of championship play. 1903 Boston Pilgrims (0) vs. Pittsburgh Pirates (0) = (0) 1905 New York Giants (0) vs. Philadelphia A’s (0) = (0) 1906 Chicago White Sox (1) vs. Chicago Cubs (0) = 1 1980 Philadelphia Phillies (3) vs. Kansas City Royals (1) = 4 1986 New York Mets (2) vs. Boston Red Sox (1) = 3 2002 Anaheim Angels (0) vs. San Francisco Giants (5) = 5 On the other side of the coin, the only franchise to ever field a team where all the actual participants had previous World Series experience was the 1908 champion Chicago Cubs.
