Gussie won the match. SPORT /*/ ,Q StnITC'lt LC Looking at the results of the first week of the Toronto Maple Leafs' home "s:and" one cannot help be- ing reminded, somehow, of the deathless dispatch a Washington newspaper correspondent sent hone after 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 strength," the wire ran. 'Outside that, they're loaded." * 5 * But maybe, by this time, the Leafs have taken a turn for the better: in fact, that's about the only direction they have left. But it's too bad. The advance build-up the Leafs received -especially over the matter of Sunday ball at last—was only slightly less than terrific. On open- ing clay, and the first Sunday, the crowds moved down to the air (polar) conditioned spaces of the Stadium in huge and highly profit- able numbers in a stood of eager expectation, completely forgetting that neither wishful thinking or at- tendance records ever won many ball games. * * 5 And right now a few thousand of them are wondering if the expert observers, who accompanied those Leafs on their Southern travels, mightn't have been the victims of fraud or deception.. In other words, when they asked for sun -glasses, same sTicker must have slipped then the rose-colored variety. * * " As for tate babyish tactics which spoiled opening Sunday for so many. so much has already been - written that we have hu: little to add. Except 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 "haseball" is mentioned, that is Probably due to his offi; ial 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 mere just about to write "in the bankroil" when we recalled that today's ball artists carr, theirs in po.:kethooks —padlock-equipmetr.. So make that "in the wallet and you'll yet our general en:ening. we leape. Baseb;,il stagnates vtltentently deny that there has _zea any change. that they are aware of, in the niakcep of the baseball itself. So far as they know. the roar inno- cents, the a' ple that Ted Williams, Ralph Kr. r and the rest of today's sluggers ,.lag at is identical with the one thet esed to szrt•e es a mark `or ColeTe W;;zn_„ La;ote, and the. Stat. * Those ,sale niegnatts also laugh to scorn eny suggestions -hat seat- ing arr,nte:nents are changed, Syncs i., y . tai and so Ct:, i t an ef- fort to make it easier for the boys to smack one out of the park. "Ridiculous," they say, "\Ve just do those things for the comfort and convenience of our dear friends, the cash customers." * * .k Nelly 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, And 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 back 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 31 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, and the Chicago Cubs—of all people—tied a major league mark by busting three of them in asing*e inning. * Yes, gentle reader, it looks very much, from where we sit, as though the breed of modern ball -player must be undergoing vast improvement. In fact, if the breed of Thorough- bred had been improved with 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 Corum, 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 dine a dozen —with no bidders. His System An FBI investigator discovered evidence of some amazing marks- manship in a West Virginia town. On trees, fences, and walls were countless bull's-eyes, with the bullet -hole in the absolute 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, "Greateset shooting I ever saw," marvelled the FBI elan, "How in the world do you do it?" "Nothing to it," 'deprecated the half-wit. "I shoot first and draw the circles afterward." Artists Without Artns Despite tiro handicap of n,, arta-, t'..ese two pail -dere in Del,,nhofen, Germany rim a flourishing art publi:•hiog bust*lets ;-nil have become well-known painters. tirtnloSchmitz-Ito, liburg, left, lost his arin in an accident 30 year- ago. Artlaif Erich Stegntann, right, was paralyzed when its was two years old and never regained Ilse of his arms, 'They employ several handicapped persons in their badness, THEFAM I FRONT kaussell Driving through the country, al- most anywhere in southern Ontario, there are few sadder sights than some of the ancient barns, You know the kind 1 mean—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 feel the sante way; but we may be mistaken, at that. Writing in a United States farm magazine Harry R, McConnell hands out the advice—"take a good look at your old barli; maybe it too, has years of service left in it. Then he goes on to tell about a specific instance. e. * * Don't be too hasty with the wrecking bar on that old horse barn—his article starts—it may have years of service left in it, al- though the horses are gone. x * * 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 good—stop and do some figuring. * * * That's what K. B, Huff, agricul- tural engineer did, when he needed a poultry house, k * . * 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 new poultry house, ;k * * First he raised one side of the foundation with house jacks, and nailed new timbers in place 16 inches above the old sills. Then he sawed off the old siding just below the new sills. * * * Next he dug a trench, 3 feet wide and 2 feet deep, under the sills. In the bottom of the trench, directly under the walls, he dug a footing trench, 14 inches wide and 6 inches deep. * * * He filled 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, * * * He cemented ei by 12 -inch bolts every six feet in the foundation, then lowered the sills and bolted them down. * 5 * Then Huff raised the other side of the barn and built a similar foundation, The old barn already looked better, k k * The walls still were out of line, though, so he used jacks with heavy timber extensions to force then into line before nailing and bracing the barn. He pulled the gable ends into line with a set of woven wire stret- chers, k * * 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, * * ek If you have an old barn, Huff says, take a look at its possibilities. Huff's total cost was $1800— but he wound up with exactly the all- round service building he needed on his small farm. Your old barn niay have some life left in it, tool What To Do Before The Moving Starts Moving — whether done from choice or of necessity—is a pretty miserable business, However, it sometimes has to be done, Iike it or not; and the following hints as to what should. be done BEFORE - THE MOVING MEN COME may- save you a lot of bother, work and, possibly property damage or loss. ,k „. * Important papers should be placed is& the bank or elsewhere for safekeeping. Papers are one of the most frequently lost of household items. and are apt to be needed in a hurry. * 5 * Make a complete inventory of household goods and note the value of each grouping or important in- dividual pieces. * k * Ask your electrical dealer what to do to protect your refrigerator, freezer, range, sewing machine, CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING AGENTS WANTED TO 8I.1LT, Sam's Oatvten 'rractore,von' profitable line, Send fee literature.

Power From Sound It's said that 68 -year-old George Constantinesco, the man who invent- ed the device for firing through the first world war, believes it may one day be possible to run the world by propellers of aeroplanes during the sound. At present he is busy in his work- shop by Lake Coniston developing sonic motors, He claims that by transmitting power by sound -waves he can run factories, heat water and drive ships. "But," says Constantinesco, "per- haps f ant a little ahead of my time. I'm sure this development will conte sooner or later.' COOK (General) $20 Per ,Month for pleasant women under 45.
