Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is Bill Stern speaking from Washington, D.C. and bringing you the 239th edition of the Colgate Sports News Rail. We've come to Washington tonight to interview our special guest, Mr. J. Edgar Hoover, Edgar Hoover, the head of the FBI, but first, real one.

Portrait of Mother's Day. On Sunday, the day after tomorrow, the nation will celebrate Mother's Day. All over the nation next Sunday, sons and daughters will honor their mothers on this day. For some mothers though, this coming Sunday will be a sad day.

Their boys are far away this year, neither the army or the navy. I know of one mother whose son is now in the navy. She may not hear from him on Sunday, but he'll be thinking of her.

He'll also be thinking of another Mother's Day five years ago when he and his mother were the principal characters in a strange sports story. With Mother's Day coming up this Sunday, it's appropriate that we tell this story tonight.

I said it was a sports story and it is. You see, it's about Bobby Feller. Do you know who Bobby Feller is? Well, if you don't, Bobby Feller was perhaps the greatest baseball pitcher developed in the last 20 years.

I say was because Bobby Feller's in the Navy now. However, before he joined the Navy, Bobby was the star pitcher of the Cleveland Indians. He was voted the most valuable player in the American League.
