Talk Of staging baseball field meets or carnivals at the close of the current season is daily gaining ucccleration among the players as well as the fans throughout the country.
 When Babe Ruth recently smack ed fungo for 447 feet at the Nank- cc stadium, he not only broke the worlds record for the stunt, held by Ed Walsh, but also started an cpl demic of fungo hitting in all the major lcague parks
 Funso hitting. which formerly was usually the practice assignment of the pitchers and coaches. is now being taken up by some of the reg. new title Of worlds champion fungo hitter away from the Jig Bam.
 WaIsh's record for frnEo hitting was 419 feet and F inch, which he hung up at q Comiskoy field meet in Chicago in 1911. The National lea guc mark belongs to Mike Mitchell He furgoed for the distance of Al: feet Sig inches al Redland field ir 1907. Other great funGo hitt"rs ot the past were Harry "Fungo" Me Intyre of the Brooklyn Dodgers Jim Vaughn of Chicago Cubs ana Jack Rowan of the Cincinnati Reds
 With fungo hitting is generally associated long distance throwing sheldon Lcjeuncs' throw Of 42G feel 9l2 inches made at Cincinnati ir 1910 still stands as the worlds rec ord. Before that John Hatfield, a Hroholyn. in 1872, threw a baseball 41o feet inches.
 l. is a good bet there are player. in the leagues today who could bet. for that marx. Bob Mousrl of the Tanks has long Dcon said 10 owI the greatest throwing arm in base ball. Although he never competed in meet for records, he can Whil thom on a line from the deepest out field posts.
 If would be interesting 10 see th, throwing arms of Mcusel, Bib Faik Harry Rice. Paul Wanor. Hazer Cuyler, Edd RoHsh and several O the other present day outficldcrs il competition.
 A field day without t base circlin; event would be like q circus withou pink lemonade, Hence there woll, be q host Of spoedstcra after tn, honor of being the fastest runne in baseball, a place now general, credited 10 Maurice Archdcacon late Of in" Detroit Tigers and Chi cago White SoX. Archd"acon w.n around the bags much after fin fashion George Simpson thunder down the Cindcr path. But with al his speed hc couldn't stick in tn big leagues because he had a woe iul batting weakness.
 Thor" are score or more athlete 1 now labor1ng in both leagues Wh 1 would relish q chance to set a rec | Crd for going around the pillow! | Imagine q field for this event com ! posed of Evar Swanson Of the Red. | Carl Reynolds of the White SoX, Ed i pi" Morgan Of the Indians, Hoy 1 WHnor of the Pirates and host C l tho other gaHcllcS of baseball. The ball players on tho White Sc 1 club say that in spite of Euth's rec 1 ord, Big Moose Walsh can beat hh "nd they offer q more intcrestin opinion that Ted l.yors, another Sc ] pitcher, can hit a funGo farther tha
 Walsh or any other man in base
 ball.
 With the proper instruments fc 1 mrasuremcnt, a fungo-hittiug coI test between the stars al that pal tlcular art would be worth watchin and q base-running contest would | .ust as exciting.

This decrease in activities is shown
by comparison with June of last year,
the decline being So per cent. June
activities normally show a considerable
increase over those Of May, it Is stated.
so that the anticipated increase this
year is indicative only in so far as 1t
failed to come up to the amount shown
in June last year.
Practically all the decline in contract
awards is found in residential construc-
ton, notably in apartment house build
ing, which has been hit through CATCH
ing up with the demand and because
of the vagaries of the financial market.
It was pointed out that the statistics
OF the F. w. Dodge Corporation show a
decline Of $404 900 900 in residential and
apartment contract awards this year as
compared with last. All other types of
construction are shown to be near nor
NAL. This is seen as an indication of
the passing of the boom speculative
building market and a return to the
sounder investment building which pre-
vailed before the postwar boom.
Among other factors that are con-
ceived to have affected speculative
building in the residential field is the
movement toward the curbing of loose
credit in the construction industry. This
movement has been making consider
able Roadway through the support OF
the Associated General Contractors, ma
tional organizat tons of subcontrsctors
and material men.

Barren Farm Land Valuable.
Thousands Of acres of land are being

Barren farm land is being turned into

plane and bug-infested ground is oelng

Just as the advent of the automobIe
made new uses for real estate by de-
manding more roads. so the airplane is
creating new uses for the land. And
lust as roadside property became Valu-
able with the increasing popularity OF
the auto, so real estate is becoming
valuable near airports and airways.

will open up many new districts along

therefore of no great value" said Mr..
Culver.
Great Crowds Visit Fields.

This was little used farm land, but this
transaction involved several hundred

Great crowds of people even now
visit our airportS on Sundays and week
DAYS to watch flying activities. From
10000 tn $4,000 people visit the airports
at Cleveland Newark and Chicago on
Sundays alone and these figures are
possibly larger at some of our more
active ports. This will indicate the
drawing power Of airport activities.
The modern airport is becoming a
gateway to the city or community il

airport has the distinctive advantage
however, from the hotel aspect, that
thousands of people visit airports merely
