* NEW YORK IIP) Florida hotel rooms usually are at a premium
But old Cap’n Fearless, the pior man’s Moby Dick, didn’t know until
after a trip to the National Motor Boat Show today, mates, just how
crucial is the Southland’s cabana cri'is. j
£ One gent has spent $71,430 just to put a roof over hi ' head for th>
baseball spring training season.
■' This high-rent victim is Imi Perini, owner of the Be. tin Braver
fiut don’t call him ’ poor Lou.” You should be ro unfortunate.
For the big job at the motorboat show is a 43-f >ot Wlveler Prom
enade yacht and Perini took one look and bought it. Which is r
nicj way to be able to look, too, instead of wondering whether yo.
car, 'afford a new set ol our, for that rowboat tied up at the creek.
Os course, they have the oars f r that rowboat tied up at the creek
about anything, else vm want from pr >i>«l!ors to popvorn. But chv-tin
avCourse through all four floors of exhibits, with wateivmts iuflafi
and seasick pills ready at hand, old Cap’n Fearless was looking io
yje unusual.
SH One thing which struck me. and quite a few other st.’irn 1 nilub
hers, was the privocutive figurehead from a Biitish ship built i
lfeo. Wearing the gramimolh'-r of all p’ungiu • necklines, it i kmwr
as “Saucy Sally." Today it would be called “My Friend Ir na.” Fron
she decolletage, early 1 ith century prudi hness was greatly exaggur
Med.
Avast from there., and I did. was a collection of s rimsliaw which
proves tliat a sailor’s life isn’t all it’s crack-1 up to be. Scrimshaw
is whale bop;* carving and the guys wh> did this intricate busines:
wouldn't have had a girl in every port to keep tin .r minds busy.
7 One other intriguing item w,s Ui>- ' ail' ik.' •n I I'll bet I've ”
ysju "there. Weil, its a home-made an.hir ti ed by Niva Scotian fish
ermen. For the romanticist, they have on display the personal spy
rused by Captain Bligh of "Mutiny op the Bounty" fame
not certain it’s tv-.fi McCoy, however, because I found none of
Charles Laughton’s fingerprints aboard.
But like a 1 -t of other people. I couldn't keep awav from Perini':
yacht It is receiving about 5,000 visitors a day during the show,
which - means that some 40 000 people will h ive tramped through
Jtt penthouse ptushness before the show closes. As a potential hotel
that makes it busier than an open house suite in the Astor on lew
year’s eve.
£> The visitors really drool before they check their wallets and
wander on up to the outboard department. No wonder. The master
bedroom has a vanity, glass-enclosed shower, indirect lighting and j
TlWdl-to-wall carpenting. The salon has a bar and the anll-c s-|
refrigerator with seven trays for ice cubes. I was disappointed that I
the guest cabin has no shower.
I "shore” do envy those Boston baseball writers!

The feature games of the night
I will be the Boone Trail-Lillington
' girls' game. Benhaven-Angier girls,

at one or both of the same gyms
wil be a battle.
The B T. girls, although licked I
good by Lillington in the last meet
ing of the two teams, has shown I
promises of giving the top teams,
a battle for the right to sit on
top of the standings. If the visitors
play a scr-iopy game, thev could
give the home team a lot of trou
j ble.
The Angier girls have skidded
way down the list in the standings,
but it may be that the home team
can have a good night on their
I shooting in the home gym and
give the top-place teams a strug
gle. It may be a let-down for the
Benhaven girls after the close win '
and hard fought battle with Lfl- I

and the Coats teams go to Erwin.

In c:-.c cr the Lest battlps of
■he season, the Benhaven girls de
'eated the Lillington bi-ls *n a
high school cage contest at the
LiU.ngtcn gym, on Friday night by
X 45-46 score.
The first half of the game was a
lip-and-tuck battle with the score
becoming tied and tire lead chang
ng hands a number of times, but
just before half-time, the home
team jumped into the lead by
four points. After the intermis
■LOii, the Lillington g, :, continued
.o take the edge in play for about
the tint five minutes. At one time
n the third quarter. LilLngtcn
held a nine-point lead. The poorer
free throw record and the failure
to make shots from close in the
latter part of the third period and
throughout the final period brought
the downfall of the home -team. I
FINE PERFORMANCE
Another main factor in the Ben- j
haven win was the outstanding'
performance of Eloice Thomas. The
little Benhaven forward scrapped
with all her might, handled the '
ball well and put on a shooting

Football Yankees
Run Into Trouble
NEW YORK —dpi— There will
be no place that is home for the
New York foot lwll Yanks in 1952
unless some member of the league
can square a circle, or vice versa.
That was made certain today
when NFL t Commissioner Bert Bell
announced‘that “we are discussing
the Yanks’ problem amicably,’
and at the same time conceded
that the New York Oiants would
not compromise with the Yanks
on laying out a schedule.
The owners last night heard a
plea from Yank owner Ted Coll
ins to give him “the six home
dates coming to me” but could not
find away to grant the request
because of the two confiding con
tracts the Yanks have with the
football Oiants and the baseball
Yankees.
The former gives the Oiants the
right to pick their six home dates
first; the latter prohibits the Yanks
from playing at Yankee Stadium
until three days after the World
• Series ends regardless of who
!is in it.
! Therefore, the Yanks are left
! with only four home dates and
legally there is no way out of the
dilemma.
Until the Oiant-Yankee piuulew
is ironed out. it will be Impossible
for the league to draft a 1952
schedule.

White Sox Owners
Have Differences
' CHICAGO —(W The family
squabble over young Charlie Com
isky’s official position with the
Chicago White Sox simmered down
today to two stubborn parites.
Comiskey's resignation as vice
nresident and secretary of the club
was accepted by the board of di
dectors after the 26-year-old grand
son of the founder walked out of j
the meeting because his attorney i
was not permitted to remain.
Then his mother. Mrs. Grace j
Comiskey, the majority stockhold-1
! er, agreed to the statement of di
j rector and team attorney Roy Egan
that the "door is open” for her
1 son to resume negotiations.
But Mrs. Comiskey. Egan, his
law partner and also a director.
Tom Sheehan, agreed “the boy
will have to open it.”
NOT SO SURE
Comiskey, who challenged the
board’s report that his earnings
tin 1951 exceeded $27,000. said he
too was willing to negotiate, but
after consideration of the board ac
: t.ion indicated lie wasn't “so sure
I want to talk to them any more.”
“Ask him,” he said, pointing at
his lawyer, Byron M. Qetzoff.
“I don’t know,” Oetzoff said.
“I’m getting tired of getting the
door slammed in my face."
Comiskey said that last-
received a salary of SIO,OOO and
dividends of $4,800 on his 484 shares
of stock. The board said his salary,
dividends, and "appropriated ex
penses” were over $27,000.
Bill Upchurch was the star of
1 the ball game as he hit from all
over the court as he scored 23
, points. Bill Henshaw scored 12
points for B. C. and topped the
defense. /

i f!sd Sox Owner Tom Yawkey Paid Out
$1,682,844 For '46 Pennant Winner
I NEW YORK IW Tom Yawkey
1 won’t peddle his Red Sox even
’ though he Is the "greatest loser in
, sports” and the kind of man who
| doesn’t always get a run for his
money.
i Some say the quiet, moon-faced
1 Boston owner is 57 varieties of a
] sucker for continuing to sink mil
-1 lons in his chroqjc collapsibles
but to all such talk he inquires
calmly:
“ft’s my money, Isn’t It?”
For the 48-year-old Yawkey,
hope not only beats eternal, it
pci.nds. Although his teams have
lest pennant after pennant in the
waning w-eks of the season, he
never has lost patience.
"I do not look upon baseball as
I a business,” the business-like Bos
| ton owner claims. "Baseball is my
hobby. It may be that I won’t
j make any money out of the Red
! ?ox. Even so, I find it a distinct
pleasure to be connected with the
;, game as I am."
| The Red Sox lost $336,665 in 1934,
| dropped $511,624 in 1925 and show
lied a deficit of $804,550 in 1936. The
I spiralling losses only increased
lYawkey’s desire'to win.
Finally, in 1946, when the Red
I Sox did win the American League
j pennant, the usually said Yawkey
1 was the happiest man on five con
tinents. When tiie team presented
him with a silver plaque that year,
signed by every member of the
squad from Manager Joe Cronin
down to tiie batboy, Yawkey joy
fully declared:
“This makes up for any million
cr two I’ve lost in baseball."
He meant it too.
Yawkey inherited $4,000,000 from
his mother and $3,000,000 from
his foster father. But most im
portant of all, he inherited a de
termination that money can’t buy.
