Many Types Of Brick,
Tile 10 Be Available

Virtually all sizes and types Of
brick and tile manufactured before
the war will be available for postwar
building Of homes and other struc-
lures, and in addition most manu-
facturers are prepared to furnish
the new modular sizes Of brick and
tile, according to 4 statement by j.
Ernest Fender, president OF the
Structural Clay Products Institute.
"As a result, architects can start
work on plans and specifications for
masonry construction at any time,
without fear that postwar develop
ments In the clay products industry
will necessitate costly last-minute
changes in plans when the time
comes to resume civilian building.
Early Start Advised.
ut Is highly desirable that plan
ming Of structures to be built with
brick and tile be started as soon as
possible, since all indications point
to the fact that restrictions on
masonry construction will be re-
laxed ahead Of those on construc-
ton requiring greater use of lumber
and other materials Of which there
now Is shortage.

Few. New Building
Products Will Be
Ready al Wars End

AILnOugu TelaEVcly lew ol6tlncCly
new building products will be ready
for use In early postwar construc-
ton Of homes and other buildings,
most Of the widely-accepted prewar
materials and equipment will again
be available soon after private build
ing is resumed. according to q state
ment by the Producers Council,
summarizing the contents Of its first
Technical Bulletin to be issued to
architects and engineers during
1914.
Encouraged by the possibility
that restrictions on the production
Of building products for civilian use
may be relaxed to some extent dur
ing the next few months, provided
the progress Of the war continues
favorable, many manufacturers are
turning more attention to their
postwar. lines" Tyler s. Rogers,
chairman Of the councils Technical
Committee, said.
Still Major Subject.
However, the production Of war
materials continues to occupy the
major attention Of most manufac-
turers, some Of whom are turning
out war materials at an even faster
rate than In the past. For that rea-
son the appearance of new products
which require painstaking research
and testing will necessarily be de-
layed.
The bulletin, which is edited by
the department Of technical services
Of the American Institute of Archi-
tects and distributed to architects,
engineering Offices and officials in
charge Of Government construction,
also indicates that certain products
especially designed to meet emer-
gency wartime construction needs
will be retained for postwar use and
will be ready for civilian market as
fast as the wartime need diminishes
FIRST Of the new building prod
ucts to appear, other than those
tested in the course of the war pro-
gram, will be those which were
ready at the time when war broke
out but had not yet been intro
duced. Many Of these products will
represent q distinct improvement
over the prewar models.
Insulated Windows.
Among the products described in
the new Technical Bulletin which
will be ready for immediate postwar
use are an insulated glass window,
designed to reduce heat transmits
sion and deaden outside noises; a
central air-conditioning system for
apartment houses and other large
buildings which provides individual
room control; wartime plumbing
equipment for both homes and hos
pitals; a forced system for hot
water heating Of homes and other
structures: an acoustical material
suitable for Use where humidity is
high. and prefabricated equipment
for the erection OF concrete forms"
The bulletin also presents a light
weight steel framing system for
smaller buildings, wartime shower
cabinet using a minimum Of critical
materials, suggestions for novel use
Of glass in store fronts, a machine
for rapid fitting Of doors. prefabri-

Building permits issued in the
District last week were well over the
million dollar mark. The start OF
several new projects to ease housing
difficulties, as well as further con-
struction in others already estab-
lished, makes it appear that WASH
ington builders are exerting all their
efforts to correct the rental housing
shortages so vividly revealed In the
housing conferences here in the last
six months.
Six hundred and eight Thousand
dollars of this amount is for badly
needed Negro housing, $195,000 to
add two large units to the Suburban

Increasing duties and less vaca-
ton make it doubly important that
each of us takes little time "in the
sun" Though every hour of the
day Is full, and many a household
task awaits attention, a 15-minute
sun bath each day will pay divi-
dends in renewed vigor which will
hold all through next winter.

Many of the ills of overwork, and

puts her work aside for Is minutes

be wasted to change into a bathing

cotton material effectively and bare
arms, shoulders and legs will soak
up enough energizing rays to do the
trick.
Though a complete relaxation,

on the figures, Thomas Holden, pres

Statistical predominance Of public
building and engineering projects in
this tabulation Is far more indica-
tive Of widespread wartime planning
activity of public bodies and greater
publicity being given to public than
to private projects than it is Of the
probable postwar pattern Of actual

Dusty Baseball
 On Wednesday

The weather man prevented the l. R. A. Baseball League from open ing as scheduled on the Hopeville diamond last Wednesday night. Both the Chase and Scovill teams were on the firing line and raring to go when a six o'clock shower came along to wash the contest put. Tomorrow night the same two teams again will endeavor to pry the lid of the 1914 edition of the Dusty Baseball League at the Hopeville diamond. The game is scheduled to start at 6 p m. with Joe Mobile calling the balls and strikes.
 Coach Roy Murphy will start Rollie Benson, ex-Valley star on the mound with Felix Longo, veteran City Amateur League luminary do- ing the catching for the s. E. R. A. combine. The remaining positions on the team are also filled with vet eran players, six of whom are play ing currently with the Waterville flash, will hold down third base while Joe Joyce will cover second. Roy Bates, deadly hyhawk, will pat- rol the ground in left field.
 The Chase lineup is studded with many of the players who saw action on last winters classy basketball team which ended the season as runner ups to the championship U. s. Rubber team in the I. R. A. League.
 New Pitcher?
 Such players as Dave Kotch, Bob- by Greatorex and Gene Sweeney are known to be equally proficient when 1t comes to playing baseball. Coach Ned Farley is expected to take Up the mound duties for his club but rumor has 1t he is holding in re- serve, a newcomer amongts the Chase smoke stacks who is reputed to be speedball artist.

 The U. s. Time Corporation nine is again schduled to meet the Wasn- ington Hill, City Amateur League team, in an exhibition game at the Washington Hill diamond on Thurs day evening. George Grahams charges have not developed as rap idly as the other League teams due to lack of practice.

s. Louis Cards CampAtN.B. B.

Torrington, June 20-The St. Louis Cardinals, champions ot the National league and originators oi try-out camps for young ball play CTS, will conduct such camps at Fuessenich stadium here on Mon- day and Tuesday, June l9 and 20, and at Willow Brook park, New Britain, on Wednesday and Thurs day, June 21 and 22 The sessions in Torrington will be held from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m, while those at New Britain will start at p. m. and terminate at 6 o'clock.
 The Cardinal management naug- urated try-out camps several years ago as the best medium for bringing prospective baseball players and tal- ent scouts together. Many of today's stars of diamond got their starts in "the greatest game on earth" by attending try-out camps.
 The camp here and at New Brit ain will be under the personal su- pervision of Roy Dissinger and Charles Pop" Kelchner, two veter- ans of the Cardinals vast scouting system. Every boy between the ages of 16 and. g. who feels that he would like to embark upon a base ball career. is invited to attend either the Torrington or New Brit ain camp. This invitation. however, does not apply to boys who are now American Legion players, or who have been playing American Legion ball and are still eligible for 1914 American Legion competition.
 There is no charge to attend these camps, but boys must provide their own baseball shoes, uniforms and gloves. Those not living in Torrington or New Britain must pay their own transportation to and from the camp they attend and their living expenses while away from home. Boys who are signed to contracts at either camp will have these expenses refunded to them.
 Boys who attend either the Tor rington or New Britain camp will be given every consideration by Dis- singer and Kelchner, and those who show promise will be advised and properly guided. All boys will be put through extensive routines of batting, fielding. base running and pitching. Teams win be selected from the boys in camp and games will be played so that the young- sters can demonstrate their abilities in actual contests on q regulation diamond

Reymond Workers
 Enjoy Outing

Reymond's Bakers held their an- nual outing Saturday at the Paradise Grove on Meriden road. The bali game between the married men and single men was won by the mar ried men. The second game was awarded to the benedicts because of failure of the single men to agree on a line drive by Frank Rotella with three on. The umpire, Aldoph Raymond called the ball fair, which all spectators agreed was a foot in- side third base. The ball went by Chuck Boyle for a home run. This occurred in the 9th inning with the score and 6. Of coure, after grabbing for five minutes, um- pire decided to give the game go to the Buttercrusts. The first game was an easy win for the Butter crust, the score being 13 to 3. Frank Rotella hurled very effectively for the benedicts, and Charley Rotella caught; while for the single men Pete Guigielamo pitched and Jack HennesSy caught. Jack did a good job trying to hold Pete up. 'Yoh' Charella, Andy Grillo, Frank Ro- tella and Carl Anderson hit hard for the married men. Pete Gugiel- mo, Joe (Tojo) Annone, Ray Car rah hit hard for the single men. Taking all into consideration the games were well played. The single men agreed to replay the second game and MT. Reymond will umpire at the next outing. &

 New York, June 20 - U.P0 - Touching all bases:
 Connie Mack, S2-year-old man. ager of the Philadelphia Athletics says the current American League race is the tightest he has seen since he entered the circuit in 1901 the year after the league was organ ized. The venerable Mack picked St. Louis and Detroit in the West and Boston in the east as the teams that appear to have the best chance to win the junior loop flag. : But he cautioned, "a different situation may prevail this time next week. ."
 Homer Inside Park
 Manager Mel Ott of the New York Giants, who has hit IS home runs SC far this season and nearly 500 ir his Major League career, says hi' biggest home run thrill came witt the first one he ever hit. It was ar inside the park pinch homer, hi against the Cubs and Hack Wilson missed sfoestring catch or i would have been another out. '"Tha' was the only homer I hit that year Mel said, it was in 1927. but IT always remember it. ."
 Frankie Hayes, the Athletics 'fror man" catcher seems a lead-pipe cinch for an all-star berth on the American Leagues aggregation Hayes has appeared in all of the 55 games the "A's" have played this season, two of them in succession last week against the New York Yankees.
 The Brooklyn Dodgers new rookie pitcher, Charley Osgood, has one trick which many of the veteran hurlers in the league might copy. The Somerville, Mass, youngster hides the ball in the web of his glove and conceals 1t so we'll that opposition coaches are unable to determine what he is going to throw until the ball is across the plate Dodger Coach Chuck Dressen, who can spot a pitch before most hurl- CTS begin their wind-up, says he has watched the kid closely and hasn't been able to call a one.
 N. L. Best
 The National League is leading the American League in every inn portant individual achievement ex- cept stolen bases at this stage of Che campaign. In batting. runs scored runs-batted in, hits, doubles, triples home runs and pitching, senior cir cult individuals outshine American Leaguers. and in most eases. by comfortable margins.
 Remember. before the season started when Leo Durocher, man. ager of the Dodgers, boasted thas his rookie, Hal Gregg, would win more games than the giant fresh man, Bil voiselle, and that Phil Weintraub. New York first baseman wouldn't hit better than 300? Leo is out by several steps on each state ment as of now.

Sergeant Joe Louis Barrow to the contrary, notwithstanding, the heavyweight boxing champion of the world, insofar as the state of Maryland is concerned, is a real black gentleman of color, from South Norwalk, CONNECTICUT, listed as Lee c. Murray. The "Q" incidentally, is not for queer, for Lee is a pretty good club fighter as big boys go, and only last night, spotted one HATCHETMAN Curtis Sheppard more than p pounds and beat him in a bout at Baltimore that drew 10000 fans and where one Maxie Waxman of New York is the matchmaker. Quite jolly setup all-around and they're coining money HAND OVER FIST. Murray is handled by Tex Sullivan, a New Yorker who was once social secre- tary to James J. Braddock, while Waxman, the Baltimore match maker without the SOUTHERN DRAWL was and still is, believe, Jack Dempsey'S booking agent for several years past
 Lee e. Murray was originally sponsored by Colonel Lemuel e. Stoopnagle of radio fame, also a Connecticut citizen, think. and that's where the colored boxer gets his first two names. Stoopnagle's s correct name is Taylor.
 One night in Norwalk, where I happened to be assigned to referee some leather-pushing, the feature
 attraction, aside from Murray in the main bout, was Jack Johnson, former world champion, and, off his ring record, one of the great est. The subsequent fact that he lost his title to Jess Willard at Havana, by SHADING HIS EYES FROM THE SUN WHILE LYING ON HIS BACK is some
 thing else again; but Johnson came to Norwalk to get a look at Lee @. Murray, and tell the fans what he thought of the colored boys future prospects as a light heavyweight. Johnson watched him stop a PUSHOvER, then said: Folks, ah just didn't see enough of this boy, Lee Murray, to give you an honest opinion, and until he is in there with better fighter than he met toY1ioht
 ah just gotta keep still, lak OLD MAN RIVER" The promoter of the show glared at bald headed, 66 year old Jack, for telling the fans point blank (but in a nice
 way) that Murray had been fed 8 SOFT ONE, despite the fact that they had to believe their eyes.
