Ban on Special Planes
Looms; Strike Hurts
College, TurfCards
By Austin BeoImeor
Associated Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK, May N.-MaJor
league baseball, which operated
without a hitch des pfte the war,
faced at least one interruption to-
Gay because of the rail tieup that
threatened to curtail other sports
and sent participants and spectators
scIambling for new methods of
transportation.
Cleveland's Indians became the
first victims of the greatest railroad
walkout in history when they were
bumped off a plane they had char
tered to take them to St. Louis and
club officials said they could not
arrive in time for tonights game
with the Browns.
The st. Louis Cardinals, scheduled
to fly to Cincinnati for tonights
game against the Reds, were strand
ed here when their charter of a
plane was Cancelled by Government
order.
Other clubs depended on planes
buSses, cabs and even private auto
mobiles to get them to their desti-
nations in a wholesale shift Of
scenery involving II of the 16 major
league outfits.
Chartered Planes Appear Out.
Future moves ON chartered planes
appeared to be out of reach of all
teams, if the rail strike continues
in the face of far-reachnig restric-
tions by the Office of Defense Trans
portation.
Such planes come under oul
orders" said an ODT official in
Washington. IF they are needed
for carrying foods, drugs and such
they will have to be taken. 1t all
depends on how conditions work
out
Minor league teams, many OF
which travel by bus ordinarily
planned to use automotive trans
portation, but President Clarence
Rowland of the far-hung Pacific
Coast League said schedules there
would be revised if the rail strike
continued into next week
The walkout threatened to chop
the IC4A track meet at Annapolis
down to a heptagonal affair, but
officials said the event would go or
tomorrow even though many of the
So schools entered probably coulo
not get their teams there.
Dual competition in college
sports appeared to be safe, at least
for the present, since most teams
travel by automobile.
Crowd at 'Graw Feels Pinch.
Some fans started feeling the
pinch of the strike soon after the
deadline. More than 1000 race fol-
lowers were stalled at Havre De
Grace race track when crewmen re-
fused to return a special train to
Philadelphia. Special buses and
regular mainline trans complet-
ing their final runs to terminals
finally got the fans home, hours
late.
At Belmont Park. New York fans
loaded onto an increased number
of trains and barely beat the dead
line. Two carloads of race horses
en- route from Santa Anita to Sc.
attle were stranded at Oakland
Calf.
Racing programs were scheduled
today at all tracks now in opera
ton.

Patching Pointers

For tears in children's play
clothes, use double-stitched
patch for its durability.
If you have a perfect figure,
settle on satin for your best
dress. Its shiny surface reflects
light in such way as to point
up your best qualities.
The good portions Of a worm
out dress may be used to line a
wearable jacket, for making a
blouse or jerkin, or cutting off
the bodice and making a sepa-
rate skirt.
In darning fabrics with a dis
tinct pattern, study the pattern
carefully, and match as closely
when darning. This is known as
reweaving, and when carefully
done, the darn can be almost in
visible.
If a skirt is too short to hem,
a facing may be placed in it.
Stitch the facing, which should be
of material fairly similar to the
skirt, to the bottom. Press the
seam before turning facing to
wrong side, and haste. Turn up
material and hem to place.
Before you wear a dress even
once, protect the underarms from
fading or wearing out with a pair
of dress shields. Sew or pin them
in, and remember, they must be
washed frequently. Shields such
as these will save cleaners bills
and often prevent the dress from
becoming ruined.
A plain, drab dress can often
be made wearable and even quite
gay by an applique around the
shoulder, on the pockets, around
the belt or even to the side on
the skirt. Choose a simple flower
design and trace the outline on
contrasting fabric or cut the de-
sign from a scrap of gay print.
Or, use old, leftover yarn to en-
broider bouquet.
You can completely disguise an
unsightly tear or burn by cover
ing it with a decorative patch.
These patches are especially suit
able for youngsters clothing,
sports clothes and casual lingerie.
Use an applique made of con-
trasting colored material from
an illustration or a transfer pat
tern. Be sure that the design is
large enough to cover the dam
aged place. Felt appliques are eff
fective on many rayon fabrics;
cotton prints are good against
cotton; and silks may be used
for silk or wooden material. Hem
close to the edge, using a fine
needle and matching thread.

mad been greeting one another after
years of separation. Doesn't their
energy ever give out?" Elizabeth
asked herself with fond wonder as
she heard them. She glanced into
the dining room to make sure the
table had been set with two extra
places, made ready the cocktail tray
in the living room, and then went
to the balcony that ran along the
back Of the house, to observe the
state of affairs around the pool.
The children had hung their suits
and towels on the line provided, leav-
ing the place quite tidy after their
swim. They were really very good
about that, except now and then
when they had something important
on their minds and forgot to clear
up. What a good time they were
having now! They had gone into
the back den, the windows of which
opened on the balcony where she
was standing, and she could hear
them as they discussed something
that must be excruciatingly funny,

gray can be frightened with green,
red or white.
For the more sturdy pinafores,
use minimum of trimming and de-
pend upon tailoring and detail to
put the pinafore across. A feather
stitch around the pockets may be all
that you will need, provided this is
in an attractive, contrasting color
thread.
Making Blouse.
If your daughter is a little too tall
for a pinafore made from Daddy's
shirt, try blouse. BlouSes can be
made short for the youngsters and
there will be ample material in the
shirt for such project.
AS in the case of the pinafore, the
back of the shirt is used for the
front, if the blouse is buttoned all
the way down the back.
If, however, you are making a
shirtwaiSt style, use the back of the
shirt for the blouse and the two
front pieces of the shirt cut down to
make the front. Very often the tiny
buttons on the shirt will 60 very well
with the blouse.
The sleeves Of the shirt will pro-
vide ample material for a little
round collar and pulled sleeves.
These may be trimmed with lace or
crocheting, or even bright-colored
piping.
Whenever you are working with
this type of remodeling, it's best to
keep ironing board and iron handy.
Seams should be pressed often to
make them easier to stitch. Blasting
takes time, too, but the more exact
work resulting from it is a crafty
ing reward. Both of these precau-
tons are essential in making small
sized blouses and pinafores.

Woman's World
Pert, Pretty Pinafores May Be
RemOdelled from Old Shirts
by G,t1a Haley

OUR little boys have always worn
~ make-overs from Daddy's
shirts, but have you ever thought Of
using these shirts for dressing up
daughter7 The beautiful fabrics and
interesting weaves Of mems shirts
make excellent material for spright-
ly little pinafores and blouses.
Most Of you mothers know the
high cost of those frilly blouses for
sister to wear with her jumpers.
Or you know how quickly she grows
out of pinafores. Yet the cost Of
converting Dads old shirt into one
Of these items is frequently only the
price Of spool or two Of thread to
match.
II the shirts are worn or torn
around the armholes, this need be
no problem in making the pinafore,
because this material is not neces-
sary. Only the back and front Of
the shirt need be in good condi-
ton. Worn sleeves will not spoil the
plans at hand.
Cutting the Pinafore.
The back of the shirt is used for
the front part of the pinafore, as
this takes the greatest amount Of
solid material. Since the pinafore
is open in the back, the front part
of the shirt may be used for that.
To get the most material from a
shirt, wash it carefully, then press
and rip, being careful not to tear
any Of the fabric.
