Agency, reported.
Onlcials in charge of this area last

was we'll under way and the tab
ulation of private homes with rooms
available for tenants should be COM
pleted during the next few weeks.
Volunteers here and throughout the
country, principally women, are be-
ing recruited primarily through the
civilian defense volunteer offices.
Aim Outlined.
Civic and community organiza-
tions are also being called on to
assist the three fold program being
conducted by MIA In $50 war in
dustry areas:
l. To encourage property owners
and tenants to open their homes to
war workers and list with the local
war housing center all vacant or
potentially vacant space available in
houses, flats and apartments which
can be utilized without any expen-
diture of critical materials.
2. To encourage other owners,
whose properties are not suitable,
to convert them into additional hv-
ing accommodations for war workers
using either their own funds or
loans from private financial insti-
tutions.
3. To encourage owners who are
unable to convert their properties
on their own responsibility to lease
them to the Government and let
the Government do the job.
The work performed by the VOL
unteers during the Share Your
Home campaign will include in
spection of accommodations which
are listed; interviewing applicants
for living quarters; clerical and
stenographic work in the Share
Your Home" campaign, and partici-
patton in OCD "block plan" sur

Material Makers
Urge u. S. Hire
Many After War

The Producers Council, national
organization of manufacturers Of
building materials and equipment,
today joined in the controversy over
postwar construction with a stand
backing public works ito furnish an
important share of employment in
the construction industry during
the critical first year Immediately
following termination of the war
production program"
The councils stand was expressed
in statement by Russell G. Crevis-
ton, chairman Of the Postwar Steer
ing Committee, which declared esti-
mates show at least 100000 Jobs
can be created for the emergency
period "if public works projects are
put in shape to start as soon as
manpower and materials are re-
leased from the war program"
Though it was maintained that
some progressive communities have
laid out proper plans, others show
little advance planning is being
done to meet this employment emer-
gency," he declared.
Even when all other preliminary
steps have been completed, the time
required to arrange for financing,
which often requires legislation, may
prove to be a serious source Of
delay.
THE council recommends that
leaders OF the construction indus
try In every community join forces
and confer with local officials in
order to stimulate immediate action.
When that is done, the unemploy-
ment gap between war production
and full peacetime building activity
by private capital can be effectively
bridged.
Preliminary inquiries indicate
that general contractors, as we'll as
architects, real estate men and
other stand ready to start this effort
in full force. The council, repre-
senting the manufacturers of ma
terials and equipment, offers its full
support through its national organ
ization, its local chapters and its
member companies and associa-
tions," Mr.. Creviston stated.

BisOns Swamp Bulldog

blSOnS swamp bulOOSS 1S-V
 A weak Bulldog team, newcomers to the league, went down to terrible defeat in the most lobsided en- counter of the present season. To begin with, the Bulldogs played with an understaffed team. The pitcher upon whose ability they had de- pended to turn back the Bisons, failed to put in an appearance. Sub stitute pitchers proved inadequate. This, coupled with a very sad show ing in the fine art of fielding was poor equipment with which to face the enthusiasts from Easton avenue.
 A review of the box score shows little, however, in which the Bisons can take pride. They had their share of the errors with which the contest was replete. Moreover, we find that most of the runs were un- earned. Yet, we cannot fail to men tion the fact that Winnie Caterino supplied us with the very first home run of the present season even though, with a little more speed in the Bulldog outfield, the spectators were convinced the hit would have earned only couple of bases. We cannot close this dismal tale with out also taking time to congratulate Lou Viscosi on the two long hits he collected for his teammates, both good for two bases.
 The Bulldogs though they have started inauspiciously will, neverthe- less, do much better as the season progresses.

Yale Football
 Drills Continue

New Haven, Conn.,, July 13-The Yale grid charges of Head Coach Howie Odell went through the sec- ond session of summer practice to- day being drilled for the most part in starts and stances.
 Losing no time in launching the preseason training in earnest, Odel also put the candidates through pass defense trials designed to test the reaction speed and the balance of the men.
 Today's session found Odell with flock of fullbacks, no ends, a handful of linemen and plenty of wingbacks. Many men, however, en- rolled in the Naval or Marine re- serve training programs at the uni versity are still completing their in- doctrination period and will not re- port until later in the week.
 The fact that there is dearth of men for some positions didn't ex- actly phase the Eli grid mentor who described his current problem as simply to find the best eleven foot ball players, regardless of what posi- tions they seek, and put them on the first team, the next best eleven on the second team, etc. and start from there.
 What Howie is especially inter ested in finding is a good left half back who can be developed into a capable paSSer to replace Hugh Knowlton and Ed Taylor, pair which took care of the chucking as signments last Fall. Both men, all though they were underclassmen in 1922, were inducted into active ser vice and did not return to school.
 Another post that is wide open is the center berth held down last year by Capt. Spencer Moseley, defen- sive demon who was picked on sev- eral All-American selections.

CR0FF'S N0-HIT
 GAME GAINS TOP FOR SC0vILL'S

Perefctly pitched softball games are as rare as jug water from the river Styx, but Gordie Groff of the Scovill array turned the trick last night for the seventh consecutive victory of his team which has not yet lost one, giving his team the league leadrship and marking up the initial no-hit, no-run mound ef- fort of the season.
 Scovill scored in the third and fourth, enough for an eventual 20 victory; Groff getting two of the eight hits allowed by Berardi, Wa terbury Button pitcher with but one Button batter getting to first base and then getting caught on a quick throw.
 Benrus got 13 runs in two innings which led to 16 run Shutout against Ingerscoll, given but two hits by Valetta. Connolly and Mee- han hit safely four times, the latter getting home run.
 Plume-Atwood and Farrel Foun- dry put on a good game, though the PA outfit had an eight run lead in the fourth inning, Farrel got five runs back in the fifth to make the game reasonably close; Plume and Atwood winning II to 2. Byrnes, Chabot and Schwitzel hit we'll
 Though each team had splurges of seven runs in one inning, Metal Hose was 12 to winner over Som CTS Brass, the winners getting five more runs in the fourth and sixth :; the Hosers having 15 hits to their credit off Caron's pitching, Gudonis giving up eight. Jamele and Rinaldi, the latter with a home run, two bagger and two singles were stand outs at bat; HarkinS going well in the field.
 As American Brass did not play, due to bye, it's part of the league leadership was lost when the Sco- will team won; Brass now trailing by one game. Scores:

Swede Pans Coast Tracks

San Francisco, July IA - tU.P0- Gunder Hagg said today he might run the mile in 4:07 or better when he competes against Gil Dodds Sat- urday for the Army Air Forces Benefit Fund.
 Previously, the pessimistic Swede said he probably would do no better than 4:1O
 T am in better condition than I thought Hagg said through an interpreter as he left for Palo Alto for workouts on the Stanford Uni versity track. T know I'll have to go under 4:08 to beat Gil Dodds"
 Hagg and Dodds, Boston divin- ity student, limbered up on the University of California track at Berkeley yesterday and the Swed- ish runner said he thought there was much room for improvement in the Golden Bear oval.
 He compared 1t to the Coliseum track at Los Angeles, which, he as- serted, was like stepping in glue He set new American record of 8:53.9 in the two-mile there last weekend.

GU. s. Pat. Off) BY JACK CUDDY

(United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Philadelphia, July 14-(UP)- Donald L. Barnes, president o: the St. Louis Browns, said, naturally, I was glad to see the American league beat the s7ational League in the all-star game, but let me en- phasize that the game itself was a far greater triumph than could be reflected by any score.
 You will recall that Hitler re- marked disparagingly in his Mein Kampf that we Americans are a na- tion of baseball players. Last nights spectacle at Shibe Park proved again that Hitler was right-unfort- unately for Hitler"
 Barnes, smallish, pudgy, middle aged chap with graying hair and a pugged nose, reviewed the contest with a group of sports writers and baseball executives, including Hor- ace Stoneman of the Giants and Bill Cox of the Phillies
 Spent Plenty" They listened to Barnes with re- spect, because he is known as the fan president man with a pas- sion for baseball that has cost him plenty" of money during each of the seven years since he and his friends purchased the apparently hopeless Browns from the Phil Ball estate in 1886.
 They listened to a self-made mil lionaire-a fellow who had pulled himself up by his own boot straps from the wrong side of the tracks at Springfield, H., to blossom IA years ago as genius in the personal-loan business.
 Barnes said, T suppose I should talk O last nights game from the technical angles or discuss Luke Sewells apology to the American league for his quotations that of- tended the umpires. But the other angles of the Shibe Park show seem much more important.
 That really was dream game, staged for tte benefit of the base ball equipment fund Tor our men in service-staged to help keep alive ti.. tradition among men in uniform at home and abroad that we are a nation of ball players.
 Fine Philosophy Baseball is our national sport. It typifies our American way of life live clean, fight hard for your rights and obey proper authority. That philosophy makes top-notch citizens and top-notch fighting men. Hitler might well study this game of baseball-the idealistic sport that furnishes physical and mental relaxation for our young men at home and abroad-the sport that still provides refreshing enjoy ment for our nation after nearly 20 months of war. Hitler should have seen the 32,OO0 fans at Shibe park last night and the hundreds turned away. There might be revision in Mein Kampf."
 Barnes said he hoped baseball could continue as long as it helped the war effort. But if the time comes when it is impractical to con- tinue the game, from the military viewpoint, then it should cease for time. Its spirit and ideals will carry on for years"
