BY STAFF Correspondent Of The sta-.

ORLANDO, Fla, March 18.-
Grandpappy Clark Griffth's weird
pitching derby officially was on to-
day as the Mats opened their "a
game grapefruit league campaign
against the Detroit Tigers.
1t was to be something of an i'm
portant preview for all parties,
bringing together, as is scheduled,
some of the springs more highly
touted rockies. For the Mats, Ale
jandro Carrasquel. Joe Haynes and
Roberto Ortiz. all prominent recruits,
were to divide the pitching. The
Tigers were to use Harry Eisenstat
and Fred Hutchinson, the s5O,O0O
rookie from Seattle.
AS the derby opens and competi-
ton starts for the 10 or possibly II
slab jobs, here is the way the book
looks:
Dutch Leonard, 1-10-Good reuter-.
Often rus into hard luck.
Pete Appleton, 1-3-Flashes of
brilliance. Good enough to win over
short distances.
Ken Chase, 1-3-Has been trying
for several years. Seems to be due.
Recent workouts fair.
Joe Krakauskas. l-tSpeedy but
inclined to run wide. Stretch run
ming ability has been saving him.
Harry Kelley. 1-2-May be best
pitcher on staff. Not generally
rated highly but may take it all if
in shape.
Rene May Be Sleeper"
Tom Baker, 15-1-Highly touted
youngster who has been disappoint-
ing in trial runs. Good early speed
but undependable.
Rene Monteagudo. 5-1-May be
the sleeper" in this field. Steady,
honest sort.
Roberto Ortiz, 10-1-Strictly for
moonshooters but not out of it.
Never started before. Tremendous
speed in workouts.
Arnold Anderson, 6-1-Surprise of
camp so far. Seems to be good
reuter-.
Jimmy De Shong, 3-1-Never able
to run back to 1896 form but looked
impressive in latest trials.
Joe Haynes, 8-1-From good barn.
Record on small tracks in his favor.
Bucky Jacobs, 8-1-Honest sort.
May not be able to run distance but
should hold up in sprints.
Monte Weaver, Al Not much
speed but courageous entry trying
to regain best form of 1882.

A house in the extreme so-called

Hughes. secretary Of the Detroit
chapter Of the American Institute
of Architects. who warns Americans
that in general they show a de-
plorable lack of knowledge of the
way to attain q well-designed and

CHICAGO, Feb. 18-America Is

Federal Home Loan Bank Board,
who spoke before the North Gen.

when the Home Loan Bank Sys-
tenn started. Another decade should
see a full half Of the total volume

Cites Healthy Response.
Comparing the Federal Home

that the membership of the Federal
Reserve System after Is vars is Il

the membership of the Home Loan
Bank System after only six eyars
Is AZ per cent of the eligible home
financing institutions. Each of the
systems has over IS per cent of
the total assets of the institutions
which are potential members.
1T is the duty of every private
citizen and every public official to
cooperate in creating in every COM
munity in this land institutions di-
rected and managed by the citizens
to provide thrift and savings facili-
ties with which to assist people in
owning. buying and repairing
homes" he said. This country was
built by the capital of the ordinary
folks, accumulated in such institu-
tions and by the homes that rose in
every section as a result of their
credit facilities"
The Home Loan Bank Board
member said that once q citizen is
in a home of his own he should be
kept there not by providing for the
smallest possible payments but by
making his period of repayment the
shortest that his income will permit
and thus get him out of debt.

In our economic structure, they must
now exercise their weight to pre-

Their responsibility is to keep the
middle path between the streams of
long and short term lending, by
which path alone lies the home
owners hope for a sound, economic
transaction.
