DOING OVER THE
WHITE HOUSE
i
The White House is to be remod- Jj
eled sod enlarged at a cost of a ?
million and a hall dollars. Not even
the Republicans thought a place ?
could run down under Democratic 1
tenants to that extent.
s
One item in the program is elted
as "entire new floors in the Presi
dent's personal quarters, as the old
ones are loose and worn." That gives
yon some idea bow Mr. Truman has
been pacing op and down the rooms
lately.
? *
An entirely new heating system
is to be installed too, it is announced.
We had an idea that the White
House was hot enough for anybody
just now.
m
Maybe they mean "cooling" sys
tem.
?
The grounds are to be done over,
too. We understand there will be
a series of fountains and pools
through which a President can wade
with his shoes on when the problems
are especially hot.
?
There is also a rumor that Mr.
Tram an wants a chicken run, a well
and an old-fashioned hammock on
the grounds to give him something
of the rural flavor he loves so well.
(Opponents of the plan insist that
whatever Mr. Truman needs it is de
cidedly not a hammock.)
?
Mrs. Truman is going to get new
rugs, carpets, drapes and curtains,
and you know what that will mean
to a woman.
?
Boy, will Mrs. Roosevelt be sorel
She was there 12 years without get- 1
ting what Mrs. truman is getting
in a few months.
?
Also a large room artificially
dampened and equipped with rat
tan chairs, old fishing tackle and fog
horns so that the President may get
all the atmosphere of being on his
yaeht without actually being so.
?
(Note to Mrs. Truman: Whatever
they do to the shebang, you be sure
you get the kitchen the way you
want it first.)

THE 1946 AUTOMOBILE
Oh, fetch the motor ads to me
And let me read, my pet,
Of all the beanties of the car
1 know I cannot get;
I want to know the shape and form
And sense the charms untold
Held by that lovely motor ear?
Which is NOT being soldi
What Is the radiator style?
Fall tacts I most possess (
About the ear nobody has
(And no one gets, I guess);
What of the headlights and the hubs? .
Oh, I wo old be afraid
To choose, without more facta, a boa ,
That Isn't being made.
, And what of the upholstery?
I hate to fret abont
My comforts in a limousine
Nobody's turning out;
Those little gadgets all around,
So novel and so qnaint?
Bow are these little gee-gaws in
"The motorcar that ain't"?
? ? ?
Peace, It's Wonderful
Bill Hadden, attorney general of
Connecticut, conferred with Dr.
Stoyan Gavrilovitch, chairman of
the UNO site committee, to sing the
praises of Nutmeg State locations
the other day. We hope Bill sug
gested the appeal of Amity Road,
Woodbridge, and, perhaps, the old
site of Harmony Lodge back home.
?
And, in view of the way UNO is
dodging so many issues, how about
Duck Island, just off Clinton?
?
Personally we nominate as a per
manent site the Pease House, Say
brook Point.
? ? ?
A passenger plar.e made the trip
to Bermuda In 2 hours and 22 min
utes the other day. Remember away
back when you went there because
you could do it so leisurely and un
hurried?

In the racing rules horse doping
Is delicately deftned as "improper
medication." Fair warning, now:
Don't play any horse until ycu know
whether it's been medicated or not.

THE REVOLT
"I paid thirty-seven cents for a
tube of toothpaste tin; other day,
which looks to me like Ave cents
worth of paste. Got any sample for
mula so I can make mine at home?
At this rate I won't have enough cash
left to buy anything for my teeth.

Maybe the armistice agreement
was all CMani to them.
[r YOU look over the list of ell
1 the leading ball players for the
sst 30 years, including baseball's
all of fame at Cooperstown, you'll
nd that over 80 per cent of them
ame from cities and towns under
0,000.
Cobb, Speaker, Jackson, Mathew
on, Alexander, Cy Young, John
?trt Hrntrp Rial or
Eddie Colline,
Hornaby, Foxx, La
joie, Home Run Ba
ker, Wagner, Bob
Feller, the Cooper
brothers, Keller,
Dickey, the DiMag
gios, Hartnett, the
Deans, Carl Hub
bell, and so on
came to their fame
Mort Cooper from isolated and
unknown spots on
he map. Such instances run into
he hundreds. New York's main con
ributions have been Gehrig, Green
>erg and Frish. Chicago has turned
put a few stars, including Phil Cav
iretta. Baltimore gave the game
Jabe Ruth. But New York, Chi
:ago, Philadelphia, Boston and oth
:r crowded cities in proportion have
agged far behind.
In towns running from 1,000 to 10,
00 population there is always room
or a ball field. In these "Sweet
Luburns, loveliest villages of the
plains," there Is space in which kids
an hit, run, throw and slide. They
ian play the game up to the hilt,
lut In a city such as New York,
rou can see thousands trying to play
in crowded streets as cars come
hrough to drive them back to''the
idewalks. Ever try to slide over
lobblestones while eluding a fast
no ring automobile?
^ew Stars From Cities
Take a look at the now famous
Cardinal roster, which embraces at
east 30 stars. At least 95 per cent
if these came along and up from
places you never heard about. If
hese players had been born in
lew York, Chicago, Philadelphia,
!tc., possibly two or three would
pave made the big leagues. That is
he way the percentage runs.
Sehrig and Frisch came along
hrough Columbia and Fordham.
3ut few street kids have a chance
o get any college course and find
t ball field where they can develop.
Baseball's hail of fame, now and
n years to come, would be extreme
y thin if it had to look to the crowd
sd, thoughtless larger cities for its
alent. If there isn't enongh within
hese cities, there is always space
Enough outside ? and there are still
pusses running and there will soon
be motor cars available.
Complaining about juvenile delin
guincy, youthful crime, is a waste
if time. The responsibility belongs
to older people who through sport
and the full support of so many
hard working organizations can
change the entire picture in a few
years.
? * ?
Athletes and Condition
What group of athletes keep in
better physical condition?or worst
physical condition, so far as pro
fessional sport is concerned?
At a recent gabbing session we
ran into a number of coaches, as
sistant coaches, trainers and assist
ant trainers who know their way
around, who have been in charge
of various sports for many years.
It was their belief that profession
al football players and professional
tournament golfers on the average
were in better physical condition
than any other group, and that pro
fessional baseball players trailed
the list.
This statement trill bring a loud
and lusty squawk from many ball
players, bat it happens to carry
more than a mere shade of troth.
Anyway, the coaches and trainers
who felt this way about it should
know what they are talking about.
"This, of course, doesn't include
all ball payers," one trainer skid.
"But it includes too .many of them.
Most of them couldp't do half the
job a pro football player has to
face. Watch most of them hit a
triple and you'll find them puffing at
third base and that's less than 100
yards. They don't turft in enough
road work to build up their legs.
A pro baseball player should last
far longer than a pro football play
er, considering the punishment the
footballer has to take, but few of
them do. Last season the New York
Giants had Mel Hein, Herber and
Ken Strong, each with nearly 20
years of football behind him. There
have been many others such as Hut
son with 10 or 12 years already
cashed in.
"Far example 1 see where De
troit's Tigers this season have 43
exhibition games. This means a
total at W contests from Marcb to
October, a long marcb that de
mands Ike best sort of physical
shape. Many of them will be ready
for this endurance test. Bat quite
a lot won't be, unless they make a
far harder effort to get In stoipe
and keep to shape than so many
have mads to the past. Those fel
lows beading south early are the
smart ones. This win he the taugb
eto season any of them will have to
