COINS on, what with automobiles
skidding around quiet Brooklyn
corners on two wheels and bullets
whizzing thru the air, have had the
good burghers of Brooklyn in a
dither.
But that's nothing. Hundreds of
extras crowded the stands at Eb-
bets Field as nine bewiskered ball
players, all Dodgers, trotted out on
the field to play the first stringers.
And in the pitchers box was Red
SHELTON. The other bewiskered
gentlemen were Stan Boragary,
Lou Olmo, Bob Ortiz, Augie Galan,
Max Macon, Hal Peck, Ray Hay
worth, Bob Chipman and Dee
Moore.

This is the first time a major
league baseball club, from the base
man to the bat boy, has been in

production. Individuals such as
Babe Ruth and the late Lou Gehrig

Gus productions but "Whistling in

The first day that Shelton ap-

 Considerable interest has been aroused in the proposed expansion of the federal project. particularly in view of the fact that city ofiiciais have been constantly consulted with regard to plans, whereas when the original houses were built at Long Hill and Hamilton avenue just the opposite situation prevailed.
 Opening of the bids in Waterbury is but one of the many ways in which the MIA has seen fit to CO., operate with local officials and the local War Housing Committee.
 In addition to expanding the Long Hill project. as well as adding a Community building and Nursery school. there will be a combined Community building and Nursery school provided at Hamilton avenue. plans for which have been included in the present invitation for bids.
 Although they will not be affected by any changes at Long Hill it IS believed that federal ofIlcials will hoic up on this project as well as the Long Hill one until the new specifications have been distributed to the bidders.
