State Ration
Boards Get
New Numbers
OPA Director James L.
Luke, Jr, Explains
New Designations To
Aid Public.

Delaware's eleven ration boards
have recently been given new nu-
merical designations, it was an
nounced last Saturday by OPA Di-
rector James L. Luke, Jr.
In order that there be no con-
fusion, Mr.. Luke offers the follow
ing explanation of the new desig-
nations:
For purposes of illustration, take
the numerical designation of board
212.1, located at 904 Orange street
in Wilmington.
"The first numeral in the desig-
nation distinguishes the region in
which the board site is located.
In the case of boards within the
State of Delaware the numeral 2 is
used to show the board site is in
cluded within the jurisdiction of
Region No. 2, with headquarters in
New York City.
The second numeral designates
particular state within Region
No. 2, in the case of Delaware the
numeral is l used to number this
state.
The third numeral which is also
a 2, designates the county within
the state. 1t so happens that New
Castle county is the number 2 coun-
ty of Delaware, coming as it does
alphabetically after Kent and be-
fore Sussex.
DecimaIs Indicate County Standing
Then there is a decimal point
which separates the preceding nu-
merals from the one which fol-
lows, which in this instance is the
numeral 1, showing that this board
is number 1 in this county.
A list of the II war price and
rationing boards of the state and
their new numerical designation
follow:
Wilmington War Price and Ra-
tioning Board 212.1.
New Castle War Price and Ra-
tioning Board 212.2.s

ing Board 212.3.

Mercury Here Did

II Degrees Below Reported By Wea-

Did someone say it was cold in
Milford last Monday? Just how cold
is recorded by the official govern
ment weatherman, Charles ]. Holz-
mueller, according to Mr.. Holzmuel-
Ter, the mercury took a real nose
dive, dropping to eleven degrees
below zero, and breaking all known
records for the 21st of December,
The snow which fell the day be-
fore covered the country around
Milford with a fairy blanket of
white, giving the children a chance
to try out their sleds and furnish
ing the highway crews with several
hours of hard work. Those roman
tics among us who were longing for
a White Christmas, saw the answer
to their prayers until Wednesday
morning when "Qld Sol" made a
belated appearance and turned all
the little white snow banks into big
black puddles.

In many instances supplies of

Because of this, our government

In the face of these situations,

more than we have mentioned here,
but this sextette has the lead.
Trained Muscles
The majority of all the leading
stars were one-game people. Bobby
Jones, for example, played no 9TH
er game but golf until he was grown.
Every muscle in his body was trained
and developed for golf swing.
Bob had no conflicting muscles
that wouldn't work together.
Schoolboy Rowe was a star at
football, golf, tennis, shot-putting
and other pastimes while playing
baseball Over-developed muscles
had no helpful effect on his pitching
career.
Ty Cobb played no game but base
ball. Cobb refused to swing golf
club until near the end of his major
league career.
Ty still insists the two swings are
different. They are in Cobb's case,
as Ty in baseball was more of
puncher than a swinger. Ruth,
Speaker and others were swingers
who could play golf in the 70s.
The Case of Chandler
The case of Spurgeon Chandler,
the Gainesville Clipper, takes an I'm
usual angle.
Here is pitcher who has won
@f g %.,r ,iy,<,
back to the summer of 1941. And
this happened after he had passed
his 32nd birthday.
AS starter it took Chandler FIVE
years and a touring jaunt through
seven different cities before he final
ly parked himself on a Yankee
bench. After that a yanked arm
hgament and later a broken ankle
were no great help.
When Spud dropped his first four
games last spring his outlook was
about as sunny and as cheerful as
a windowless cellar.
And then it happened-10 straight
for 1941-12 out of IA for 1942-and
almost every game brilliantly
pitched.
I recall years ago Harry Mehre,
then Georgia's coach, telling me that
Chandler was one of the hardest
workers on his squad.
Chandler has proved that by TAX
ing the knocks and raps that came
his way without a kick or an alibi.
It took him 10 years to locate the
smoother road. and 10 years is quite
a chunk from pitchers career.
But / doubt today that anyone canI
name a better pitcher.
In all sport you won't find any
set who are keener addicts than
football coaches. These men live,
eat, dream and think football from
the seasons first practice to the
final play, taking out no intermis-
SiOns.
I doubt that any industry in the
country gets as much care, concen-
tration, thought and as much whole
souled attention az football draws
from those in charge OF various
squads. Here yon will find the true
fanatics of sport. where / have yet
to locate even one exception.

They also point to the long list
of football stars who made their
bids for the big league, only to blow
the job.
But there were more than a few
who didn't blow.
Among the First
Christy Mathewson was better
known as a football star at Buck
nell than he was as a pitcher.
He had just won a major Buck
neil game with long drop kick
when he came to the Giants, where
Andy Freeman wanted him to play
first base. A college football star
was sensation in those days.

Lou Gehrig was among Colum-

Eddie Collins was a Columbia
quarterback of first class merit be-
fore starring at second for the Ath-
letics, where he first played under
an assumed name.
Jim Thorpe was a fine outfielder,
but Jim couldn't quite locate a fast
breaking curve.
Reese and Collins came up from
football at Vanderbilt to join the
Giants and Dodgers. Ernie Nevers,
one of footballs best, couldn't quite
stick in the majors. Schoolboy
Rowe was another football star.
