One of De Orsey's most cherished
memories is getting the single
that spoiled a no-hitter for Harry
Harper. Leo played for the East
Douglas Athletics, sponsored by
shoe manufacturer Walter
Schuster, and not long after that
game broke up another close one
with a sizzling triple. The fac
tory fans were 50 delighted they
passed the hat for him.
He won't forget another after
noon when, making . diving
catch for a fly ball, his chewing
gum lodged in his windpipe. Leo
almost choked to death before
two husky teammates turned him
upside down and bounced him on
his head.
And he's still miffed about the
day Gabby Hartnett got triple
his only hit of the game-be-
cause Leo chose that instant to
turn and watch q parachutist
leap from q balloon at the Ux-
bridge Fair. Gabby's easy fly
landed at his feet and was good
for three bases.
De Orsey had to quit the dia-

ness, but many q day, when the

Imagine me being invited to
play with the oldtimers at the
age Of 49," said Leo De orsey.
"But I suppose I did seem old
to the high school kids, because
I had played semipro baseball
since I was 13 or H."
Indeed his record did reach
back to Leo's knee-britches days
when a suspicious gatekeeper,
unwilling to believe he was q
player, refused him admission to
the park without a ticket. The

Some of them were still in the

chusetts had a law prohibiting
Sunday baseball, which meant the
Red Sox, Braves and visiting
clubs had to take the day of. So
a lot of those fellows would play
in the semipro games in Rhode
Island under assumed names

only had a one-game slump and
he was out. In one 5-game series
De Orsey was the only member
of the original starting nine to
play the entire string. He also

said. I'VE played for the team

A friendly pat on the back
from a rival manager helped Leo
double his salary on one occasion.
His own manager thought the
rival pilot was making overtures
to his star and when Leo was
noncommital he was sure OF 1t.
Sensing this suspicion, Leo let
him double the paycheck before
promising to show up the fol-
lowing week end.
Chick Davies, onetime member
Of the Philadelphia AS, was one
of the pitchers De Orsey batted
against. Ownie Carroll, Holy

ored in her tastes and wants to fur
nish her room that way while the
other one goes in for ruffled things,
separate the room by screen that
Is piece Of decoration. One or
two walls can be done in plaid,
while the others are done in soft
pastel shades for the girl who wants
a more feminine room. However,
use one of the soft shades in the
plaid for the pastel.
Try to get the girls to agree on
bedspreads. Something in hobnail
in white probably would be suitable
for both of them. In this way you
can achieve some sort Of unity in
the room, and to the outsider it will
look like combination study and
sleeping or dressing room.
II it's impossible to get them to
agree on the bedspread, use a
studio couch properly covered for
the tailored part Of the bedroom
and then the frilly bedspread will
not look out of place.
Hobbies Are Big Interest
In Boys Rooms
Most boys have hobbies and their
rooms should reflect them. If they
are doing their own furnishing they
undoubtedly will appreciate your
desire to have their room look like
a part of their personality.
If two boys are sharing a room
you probably can get them to agree
on furnishings, but space will be
the hardest part of the problem be-
cause they need room for working
on their hobbies Doubledecker
beds are good space saving answers
to this problem and boys usually
like them.
If the boys are working in the
woodshop at school they may even
want to make some pieces of fur
niture themselves. Or perhaps you
can get implanted pieces of furni-
ture for them and have them fin
ish their own either with painting,
staining or vanishing.
If they need desks select those
with large surfaces, but provide
shelves and drawers so they can
put their things away when they
finish. If necessary tack a piece
of plywood on the wall and place a
cardboard on this and use it as a
bulletin board reminder to have
their things picked up on certain
special cleaning days.
If the youngsters have trophies
and chest space is at premium,
narrow shelves can be placed on the
walls which will take these away
from everyday traffic.

But don't be deceived by this par
ticular rule. Girls love real affec-
ton from their own people and love
to know that they were adored as
babies. Only they don't want the
playful, the exaggerated, the affected
displays of teasing devotion that
some mothers seem to feel is the
way to treat them in public.
OF all qualities, young sons and
daughters most appreciate SINGER
ity-real political talk from Dad,
real sensible cooperation from
Mother. Some fathers never speak
to their growing children except
teasingly and youth suffers cruel
ly under teasing while some
mothers reserve baby talk until
they meet their daughters and a
group of her friends.
Even worse, and completely in
eXcusable, is the delusion of Mother
and Dad that they can chatter in
that strange and changeable Ian
guage, current school slang. Nothing
is more eVaSive, more subtle, more
delicately graded than this argot
and to hear it used or applied in
correctly causes the most acute an
suish to the young soul. Anybody's
mother is stamped at once as an
absolute idiot as she light heartedly
babbles tongue with which she is
entirely unfamiliar. The agony of
shame her children feel for her af-
fcctS their respect for her forever.
Favoritism Is Unwise
AS for the remaining rule, it Is
sad to find it among these serio-
comic ones, for it is far more basic
and far less easily corrected. To
feel that there is favoritism at home
is to have your young philosophy
upset in way from which it never
may recover. Too many mothers
adore and spoil the boy, shelter him
from his fathers criticism and save
him from the results of his own
mistakes, while maintaining all the
while an extremely severe attitude
toward the girls. This has a doubly
bad effcCt-it Weakens the boy and
it causes his sisters to like him less
than they otherwise would Also,
it causes the girls to dislike and re-
sent their mother.
1t is only fair to remind these
mothers who worship their sons that
their real satisfaction, in later years
will come from the daughters. The
daughters will bring life into the
house; the son will 60 elsewhere to
find his girl. Mother always will be
welcome in the daughters homes
but not in that of the son, except
in rare cases. Justice and affection
for the girls now, and even a little
extra spelling. is good investment.

to encourage neatness by providing
a place for everything.
If the room is small, plan to util-
lie all the space possible. Place at
tractive boxes under the beds and
hide them with bedspreads that
reach almost to the floor. Have
shelves made in the closet above
hangers that may be used for items
not used frequently. Have the walls
lined with bookcases that can be
used to house trophies, mementos,
hobby collections, ct cetera.
Use only the essential pieces of
furniture in a small room so that
it does not seem any more crowded
than necessary. This will include
a simple bed, chest of drawers and
a simple but comfortable chair or
two.

room and there is not quite enough

Womon's World
Give Youngsters Own Way
In Decorating Their Rooms
By Ertta Haley

DoN'T YOU ENJOY room that
- points up your personality, one
which reflects your interests?
Youngsters do too, and they should
be given every opportunity to ex-
press themselves at home.
One very good way in which they
can do 1t is by taking a hand in
furnishing their own rooms. Mo-
theirs are apt to hold up their hands
in horror at thought like this,
especially if their daughters are
going through tomboy stage and
their sons are interested in circuses
or Indians. But it's really not as
impossible as it might seem be-
cause many of these ideas can be
used even though somewhat modi-
fled.
If the youngstcr is going through
one of these in-between stages,
simplicity is the rule. If the child
wants gay pictures, keep the walls
and furnishings in almost bare SIM
plicity with quiet colors. In this
way there will be some way of
softening the bizarre effects. In a
few months, their tastes probably
will change and they'll prefer some
thing more dignified or adult-like.
Encourage Neatness
By Providing Room
Mothers frequently complain that
it is impossible for them to teach
the children neatncss. The answer
to this has not been found yet, but
psychologists say that it is possible
