MILLAR WATT 9 JJ 'cause the milk is at this end i rimiE BUCK ?v CMilMb CROSS TOWN By Roland Coe to nw mi mm **iettr A NOTHER big league baseball ** season is well on its way. We arere thinking about this as we sat on the Yankee bench with Art Fletcher, Joe Mo Uarlftys neia mar shal. Art began his baasball career 38 years ago and he la still a spark-plug, ?earing 80, lean, hard and full of Ore. Wa soea-started talking about the Yankees and the new Amerleaa league pennant race. "This shoo Id he ?great raet," M told me. "1 km many in pick ing to* Browns to win again, and maybo they will, as toey haven't saffeeed mack from toe draft se far. Bjd If we can keep the Hnenp we have today, I still believe toe Xaakees have a treat chance. " "No complaining, you understand, but the Yankees have taken the worst beating from the draft in base ball? Dlfkey, Gordon, DiMnggio, Henoch, Rufflng, Rizzuto, Keller, ,HefnJBey, Johnson, and I could give you ten-more. Now we-start a new season with a pretty good club. A ball dub good enough to win?or finish close-up. But suppose we lose Johnny Ltndell. Snuffy Sttrnweiss. Gttea and one or two mere? Than we are pretty well shot. No one knows what will hapten tor too Browns are pretty well set, and they are the team to beat?with what they have on hand right now." GntfulUot Uver in the national After leaving Art Fletcher, we called on two other pilots, Mel Ott and Leo Durocher. Mel, who makes several records every time he walks to the plate, refused to concede anything to the Cardinals and Pirates, picked to run 1-1 "Maybe they will," Mel said. "But only maybe. The Cardinals look best on copy paper and the Pirates look next best. But ball games are won on the field?not on copy paper. All I can say is that our IMS Giant team will give them all a battle. We have an improved team all along the. line. We'll have better pitching and a better punch. You know what that means. You don't have to tell me what the Cardinals and Pi rates have. But I am conceding them nothing. We'll give them a scrap all the way, moving on with what we have. What we'll have lat er, na one knows." I happen to know that Frank Frisch, disabled all through tha spring campaign, has full faith in his Pirates. "We were good enough to beat the Cardinals nine straight games down the stretch," Frank said, "and they won't be any better this season. If as strong." But the fact remains that the Car dinals are still the team they must all worry about?and they all know it?whatever they may say. As Leo Durocher put it, "Any team that can beat out the Cardi nals can win this pennant. The Dodgers? No. We are the guess team of the league, and I'm not go ing to try any early season guess ing." In talking over the 1945 rating with a number of ball players, managers and old timers who have been around?I picked up this order of finish for the two pennants: National Leagae?Cardinals. Pi rates, Giants, Beds, Cabs, Braves, Dodgers, FMHia, Am eric sa Leagae ? B re w a s, Yankees, Tigers, Bed Sox, Athletics, iBibuMi White Sox, Seextors. In any event the main problem seems to be St Louis and its two 1944 winners. They are the tamns to stop. ,z... . ? ? ?

In (general Eisenhower's command alooe, plans call tor 150,000 partici pants In track and field events, t00, 008 in organiied basehall, appro xi mstely 800.000 in informal softball games, 100.08> in vcUeytaaB, and 800, 000 in jpfermal football and toucb tootball. "The entire program will assist to 'de-comba tiling' personnel sched uled for demobilization by replacing the combat skills it eras necessary to teach during lbs period of mo bilization, with competitive and rec reational sports. "Purchasing equipment and sup plies for the program presented se rious problems. Funds, priorities, sources of supply, production sched ules, rail transportation and water ?hipping specs werejbut a few.

I == Room of Inlaid Wood Creates Optical Illusion A small room that has to be touched as well as seen to be be lieved is on exhibition in the Met ropolitan Museum of Art in New York, says Collier's. Acquired from a 15th-century Italian pal ace, its four walls contain 12 wooden cupboards whose open doors reveal on the shelves about 100 objects, including an hour glass, a celestial globe, books and musical instruments. The wall space around the cupboards is paneled, and benches line the sides of the room. However, it is all an optical il lusion, a flat surface on which the uncanny perspective and shadows are produced by inlays of some 500,000 pieces of wood in a vast variety of shapes and colors. So convincing is the three-dimen sional effect that several visitors have attempted to sK on the benches. 6HL8I WILL TOUT Bow about gMUac a plotire poamid of a baaatlfalHawaiian tcano or Bala firtfw a wrrleeau la Hawaii?
