feet of floor space and has one

departments.

Hank Greenberg finally has
undergone an operation to re-

tor is coming along splendidly.
The fact that Hank, at 37, went

he intends to prolong his' baseball
career. He has always wanted to
finish his playing days in New
York City and may sign with
the 'New York Yankees. On the
