Industry Uses Moderniza. ton Credit Scheme
 Successfully

The extent to which the manu- featuring industry has availed it. self of the Class A provisions of the Modernization Credit Plan of the Federal Housing Administration loans of more than from $2,O00 and up to $50.000 is of interest at this time, as a year has passed since this part of the amended National Housing Act began to function
 At the outset, it is well to remind industry once more that the Hous- ing Administration itself lends no money All the loans made under the modernization Credit plan are extended by banks, building and loan associations, and other private financial institutions. The Housing Administration inSures these insti- tutions against loss up to 10 per cent of their total modernization loans
 On May 23, 1855, the amendment was passed which raised the limit for an insurable loaE on certain classes of buildings such as apart ment or multiple family houses, hotels, office or other commercial buildings, orphanages, schools, col- leges, or manufacturing and in- dustrial plants. The proceeds of the loans to these classes can be used for the purchase and installation of eligible equipment and machin- cry, as well as for repairs, altera- tion5 and improvements to the structures.
 By July l, 1885. the rules and regulations governing this portion of the Act were put into operation by the Federal Housing Adminis- tration and loans were made im- mediately thereafter. Since that time and up to June l, 1886, the

It would be instructive if some statistical genius could determine, after the votes are counted in No vember, which of these conflicting suppositions was correct, and how large a part the changed business situation actually played in the result.
 That, however. is scarcely to be expected. Instead, the dopesters will be left to draw their own fi- guring and their arguing through all the future years.

Furniture Min
Starts Series
With Brewers
By SID KATZNELL

Weather permitting, one of the
largest sandlot weekday baseball
crowds is expected to lineup around
the ropes of the West Ellipse to
see Heurich Brewers tangle with
Miller Furniture in the first of a
five-game series for the Industrial

o'clock.
The Brewers were victorS in the
first half series, and the sturdy
Miller nine, after finishing last
in the first half, came back strong
and won the second half title. The
Millers owe much credit for their
sensational rise from obscurity to
success to Lefty" Stevens, one
of the best southpaws on the
sandlots. He joined the team
after the first half series and not
only hurled effectively, but in
jected a flaming spirit into the
team. Stevens is all set to
climb the hill today with the
veteran Henry Gichner receiving.
Either Leon Riley, formerly
with Bureau of Investigation, or
Bob Lyon. who also pitches for
G. P. o., will hurl for the Brew
erS. The ageless Fee" Colliere
will be behind the bat.
Such improved players as Roy
Clark, Tommy Nolan, Ed Cinotti,
Lyman McAboy. Fred Waller and
Bernie Sugrue will be seen in the
Miller's lineup.
Bill Flester, manager of the
Brewers. has his stars on their
toes for the series. They are

only two dives to go.

cided to make me an example

All I ask is that when you read

Japanese Relay Favored
I'd give my fur coat. in spite Of
the icy wind that's whipping up
baby white-caps in the pool If I
could see the U. S. A. win the

how the Japanese can fail to walk

not been turning in such hot

her crown over Rita Mastenbroek

Willy doesn't use a stitch of

Game Has Changed

Baseball has changed a whole
lot since Griff learned his ABC's
of the game.
Back in those times Ban John
son was the president of the
league and Ban knew how to
goad the magnates into keeping
the strength of the league evenly
distributed.
BY that arrangement, all of the
magnates stood to make some
money. There was no starving
out of st. Louis, Philadelphia and
some of the other red-headed
Gtep-children, as there is now.
Yea, the game has gotten a bit
away from the founding fathers
and it is case of every magnate
for himself.
You might call it cut-throat
competition, although I never
heard Griff use exactly those
words, even if they were at his
tongues end.
The club that can put to-
gether the show, is the one which
is going to blaze the hottest trail
to the receiving teller's window.
Examples like the Yankees
scheduling a Sunday twin-bill with
the Athletics are the ones which
are going to change the minds Of
Griff and others who sympa-
thize with his viewpoints.
It is obvious that Sunday is
too valuable a day from the box
office viewpoint. in New York or
any other city. to expect horde
to turn out for one game with
such as the Athletics.

Thar S Gold
In Sunday
Double
Bills
By KIRK MILLER
Times Sports Editor

Almost any moment
now I am expecting
the Grey Fox of Base
ball to break and break
definitely. I foresee
him coming out f o r
Sunday doublehead-
ers.
One of the original die-hards
for total abstinence from syn
thetic dou b l e-headers, most
particularly Sunday double
headers, the Grey Fox will
have to exercise far more re-
sistance than he commonly
possesses, if he can hold out
against trick twin pills in the
face of the $4,000 pop-eyed
souls who last week end paid
hard cash to see the Yankees
trample over the Athletics
twice on the same afternoon
sabbath afternoon-at that.
If baseball is still a money
game and I suspect it is, I should
say the impressive total of $4,000
patrons to Sunday double
header is a sure sign to success.
If all Of our industries, high
powered like baseball, or low, had
as equally convincing business
barometer there would be no de-
pressions, work for all, and at
fancy figures, too.
Those Weekday Blues
The chief argument of the local
patron saint of baseball against
synthetic Sunday double-headerS
is that it trains the fan to avoid
the ball park on weekdays when
he can normally see but a single
show, and hold back his patron,
age until Sunday when he can get
q double-decker.
That argument is good enough
# it were the whole argument,
and no doubt Griff knows this
as we'll as anybody. The man is
no moron, you know. But I'll bet II
he glanced over his ledgerS he
could find any number of in
stances where so few people at
tended his ball park on weekdays,
that it would take about six, Mon
day, Tuesday. Wednesday, Thurs
day or Friday games to make up
for one good healthy double
header of a Sunday.
If the Yanks, in the most thriv-
ing baseball metropolis the coun-
try over. finds it profitable to
create Sunday double-headerS
the while they lead the league
from here to yonder and back
again, why shouldn't town like
Washington, with only mediocre
drawing powers, be susceptible to
the lure of tWo-for-the- price-of-one
in a Sunday matinee?
