It is not an ordinary sport book.
II is not concerned With technical
tiles. it contains no errors and 1t
doesn't drip with he usual hokum.
II is a simple story told by one of
the few men who possess the perS-

The author . Frank Graham and
that should be recommendation
enough. Frank Graham is sports
columnist of the New York Sun,
a craftsman who knows his business
of writing and reporter who never
has consciously colored a TACT. He
knows and loves sports as he knew
and loved Lou Gehrig.
Because Graham IS the type OF
man he is, he has given us a mem
orial worthy of its subject The book
is bare of hiStrionicS, of embellish-
ments and of groundless dramatic
overtones The story of Lou Gehrig
needed no such fictionizing and
Graham realized that
It is a book which rises above the
limitations of age, sex and the
other factors which control popular
appeal. It is as much a book for
a woman of 25 as for a boy of 10
or man of so. That is because the
qualities which Gehrig epitomized
know no bounds and never grow
out of style.
The Gehrig story is familiar and
already anecdotes of the big per-
sonablc first baseman have been
woven into the tapestry of our folk
lore. 1t is the story of an honest
and gracious boy who somehow
retained his homely virtues in the
face of fame and riches and adula-

Now 33 Years old. the brilliar;
Spaniard seems TO be at the peak
of his career. Last year Lopez bat
ted .265 and brought in more runs
than the former Pirate great, Arky
Vaughan.
After breaking into baseball in
1925, the Pirate backstop was pur-
chased by Jacksonville after his
two-year stay with Tampa, and
from there he was shipped to Brook
lyn. After a three game trial Lopez
was optioned to Atlanta, Southern
association, where he had 4 big
year, hitting 1927.
Brooklyn promptly recalled him
in 1880 and for the last u years he
has been one of the biz stars in
the big show.
In his very first game for the
Pirates Lopez steered Max Butcher
to tWo-hit shutout against tn"
New York Giants.

After a relatively poor beginning
caused by the poor golfing weather
on sunday, first day of pre-tourney
nlay. more and more entrants in
the lower flights have carded scores.
Jack Jones from the international
club in CaleXico turned in 78
Tuesday to tie D. Clarke, qualifier
of the previous day, for medalist
honors thus far. Elmer Sears from

he couldn't make the champion

day. Sears shot a 70, which prob

months of this year was 105 ,987 or
49, 500 less than in the same period
last year. The decline was attributed
to the impact of material shortages
and elimination during recent
months of all construction not es-

Model Building Codes Urged.
The resources board, in addition
to proposing removal of restraints
on the housebuilding industry men

Preparation by the Federal Gov

and providing to localities facilities
for consultation and testing.
Review of existing methods of
corporate taxation with view of
providing, if possible, incentives to
capital investment and expansion in
new enterprises such as housebuild-

Support of the housing market

purchase by local housing authori-

program, of dwellings for the low
income groups.
Continuance of existing aids to

ceilings on farm products for the
emergency, President Roosevelt also
suggested in his message that Con-
gress consider placing a floor under
agricultural prices to protect the
farmer against a sharp decline after
the war, such as followed the last
war.
Senators working on the problem
said yesterday they are finding it
more difficult to deal with the
floor" than with the ceiling. They
point out that, while a minimum
price level may be found for basic
farm commodities, it will be harder
to work out the definition of SINH
lar floor for wages, and they do not
believe it can be proposed for one
without the other.
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat, of
Wyoming, who also took an active
part in the debate over the present
price law last winter, returned to the
Capital yesterday expressing gratifi-
cation that I'VE are now apparently
going to have an all-out anti
imitation measure" He recalled that
in January he had en- amendment
adopted in the Senate that sought
to tie farm and industrial prices to-
gether, but it went out in con-
ference.
"It has been perfectly apparent
