"Gorgeous Gussie" Moran, of lace- panty fame, gets a massage before meeting French tennis ace Antu'-Marie Seghers in the Itah'an Tennis Chanipioships. (jussie won the match. Pi ASlXBlxC Looliiiif? at the rcsuhs of the first week of the Toronto Maple Leafs' home "s.and" one cannot help be- ing reminded, somehow, of the dea'.hlcss dispatch a Wishington newspaper correspondent sent home sfter having a couple of peeks at the Senators going through their paces in training camp. • * * "The Senators haven't got any pitching, or hitting, or defensive «;rength," the wire ran. 'Outside that, they're loaded " * * * But maybe, by this time, the Leafs have taken a turn for the better; in fact, that's about the only direction they liave let.. But it's too bad. The advance build-up the Leafs received â€" especially over the matter of Sunday ball at last â€" was only slightly less than terrific. On open- ing day, and the first Sunday, the crowds moved down to the air (polar) conditioned spaces of the Stadium in huge and highlv profit- able numbers in a mood of eager expectation, completely forgetting that neither wishful thinking or at- tendance records ever won many iall games. * * •* .And right now a few thousand of them are wondering if the expert observers, who accompanied those Leafs on their Sou;hern travels, mightn't have been the victims of fraud or deception. In other words, when they asked for sun-glasses, some slicker must have slipped them the rose-colored variety. * ♦ »' As for the babyish tactics which spoiled opening Sunday for so many, so much has already been written that we have but little to add. ?"xcept this. Frank Shaugnessy has been around for quite a while; and while he has developed a slight tendency to take off his hat and bow whenever the sacred word "baseball" is mentioned, that is probably due to his official position. Anyway, Shag knew enough to hit those guilty of the stalling in the only place where your modern ball player can be hurt. We were just about to write "in the bankroll" when we recalled that today's ball artists carry theirs in pocketbooks â€" padIock-c(|uipment. So make that "in the wallet" and you'll get our general meaning, we hope. * * * Baseball magnates vehemently deny that there has been any change, that they are aware of, in the makeup of the baseball itself. So far as they know, the poor inno- cents, the apple that Ted Williams, Halph Kiner and the rest of today's sluggers swing at is identical with the one that used to serve as a mark for Cobb, Wagner, Lajoie, and the rest. * « * Those same magnates also laugh to scorn any suggestions that seat- ing arrangements are changed, fences moved and so on, iii an ef- fort to make it easier lor the boys to smack one out of the park. "Ridiculous," they say, "We just do those things for the comfort and convenience of our dear friends, the cash customers." * * * Well, far be it from us to odubt the word of such an important per- son as a baseball mogul. Still, here are some statistics which would appear to prove that either the breed of baseball slugger is improv- ing very fast or else that things have been happening behind their backs. * * .» On the first Saturday in May there were exactly nine major lea- gue games played. .\nd in those nine games there were exactly thirty-one home runs belted. The only occasion on which more hom- ers than that were scored in a single day's play was l)ack in June, 1937, when the count was one great- ed, thirty-two in all. BUT, on that June afternoon, there were fifteen games played, which makes quite a difference. * * * Just to keep the record clear, the 3! four-baggers of May 6th, were divided up thusly. The .American League accounted for 16 of the bumper crop with the Boston Red Sox collecting the most, an even half-dozen. Boston Braves led the National with a quintet, .ind the Chicago Cubsâ€" of all peopleâ€" tied a major league mark by busting fliree of them in a single inning. * * * Yes, gentle reader, it looks very much, from where we sit, as though the breed of modern ball-player must be undergoing vast impn-vement. In fact, if the breed of Tliorough- bred had been improved wi'li equal celerity, this year's Kentucky Derby would probably have been run in around 1.55 instead of 2.01 and .3/5. Maybe Bill Cornm, the new impresario at Churchill Downs should borrow a leaf from baseball's book, and have somebody shorten the track by a hundred yards or so. While his back was turned, of course, and without anybody telling him about it. * ♦ * Still, on second thought, maybe Corum had best let things stay as they are. A home run in baseball used to provide an authentic thrill. Now, they've cheapened them to such an extent that the last quota- tion we heard was a dime a dozen â€"with no bidders. His System An FBI investigator discovered evidence of some amazing marks- manship in a West Virginia town. On frees, fences, and walls were countless bull's-eyes, with the bullet-hole in the absohite centre. The FBI man demanded an intro- duction to the Dead-eye Dick re- sponsible for this spectacular shoot- ing and was led to the village half- wit. "Greatcsef shooting I ever saw," marvelled the FBI man. "How in the world do you do it?" "Nothing to it," deprecated the half-wit. "I shoot first and draw the circles afterw.Trd." Artists Without Arms-4)espite tiie handicap of no arins, ihcsc two painters in Dei^ciihofen, (lennany run a flourishiiig art puhlisliirig hiisincss and have l)ocoine well-l<nown painters, llruno Schinitz-IIochhnrg, left, lost his arm in an accident .50 years ago. .Ariiult h'.rich .Stegmann, right, was paralyzed when he was two years old and never regained use of his arms. They employ several handicapped persons in their business. f FAIMFMT Driving through the country, al- most anywhere in southern Ontariq, there are few sadder sights than some of the ancieiit barns. You know the kind 1 meanâ€" roof sag- ging, no doors, great gaps in the sidings. In fact I often think it would be a fine thing if lightning struck, and the poor deserted things burned to the ground. » » • There are lots who fee'l the same way; but vve may be mistaken, at that. Writing in a United States farm magazine Harry R. McConnell hands out tjje advice â€" "take a good look at your old barn; maybe it too, has years of service left in it. Then he goes on to tell about a specific instance. * * * Don't be too hasty with the wrecking bar on that old horse barn â€" his article starts â€" it may have years of service left in it, al- though the horses are gone. â- â- > • » Of course, it may look pretty tough. But if it's the right size, if it's located on the right spot, and if the framework is goodâ€" stop and do some figuring. * * * That's what K. B. Huff, agricul- tural engineer did, when he needed a poultry ho\ise. * * * He had an old barn. It never had been painted, the sills were rotten, the roof sagged, and the walls were out of line. * ♦ * But Huff found that it had good oak framing, and his figures showed that it would cost less to remodel than to build a ne-w poultry house. * * * First he raised one side of the foundation with, house jacks, and nailed new timbers in place 16 iiiches above the old sills. Then he sawed off the old siding just below the new sills. * * » Ne.vt lie dug a trench, 3 feet wide and 2 feet deep, under the sills. In the l)0ttom of the trench, directly under the walls, he dug a footing trench, 14 inches wide and 6 inches deep. * ♦ ♦ He I'illed this 14-inch footing with concrete, and then laid five rows of concrete blocks to bring this new foundation within an inch of the new sill. â- Â» * * He cemented Vg by 12-inch bolts- every six feet in the foundation, then lowered the sills and bolted them down. * * * Then Huff raised the other side of the barn and built a similar foundation. The old barn already looked better. » * ♦ The walls still were out of line, though, so he used jacks with heavy timber extensions to force them into Hue before nailing and bracing the barn. He pulled the gable ends into line with a set of woven wire stret- chers. * » * He put in a good stairway to the loft, which is the poultry house part of the building. On the ground floor, he built a garage, stalls for some cows and a horse, and stor- age rooms for feed, hay, and small- er farm tools. â- â-º ' * * If you have an old barn. Huff says, take a look at its possibilities. Huff's total cost was $1800â€" but he wound up with exactly the all- round service building he needed on his small farm. Your old barn may have some life left in it, too! What To Do Before The Moving Starts Moving â€" whether done from choice or of necessity â€" is a pretty miserable business. However, it sometimes has to be done, like it or not; and the following hints as to what should be done BEFORE THF .MOVING MEN COME may save you a lot of bother, work and, possibly property damage or loss. ♦ « ♦ Important papers should be placed in the bank or elsewhere for safekeeping. Papers are one of the most frequently lost of household items, and arc apt to be needed in a hurry. ♦ « * Make a complete inventory of household goods and note the value of each grouping or important in- dividual pieces. ♦ » * Ask your electrical dealer what to do to protect your refrigerator, freezer, range, sewing machine, CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING AOEXTS WA NTlaU TO SELL 8am'» tiarilen Tractor*, very prodtablt Una.
