NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-California,
which produces most Of the good
tennis players, today won It's long
night to have the national cham
pionships at Forest Hills played at
an earlier date.
After a long and spirited debate in
which words flowed like water, the
United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton voted to conduct the big event
from August 20 to September 5 this
year-an advance of nearly two
weeks from the 1913 tournament.
West Coast officials have COM
planned for years that the cham
pionships were held 50 late as to
take all the polish off their own
events in the early fall.
Until today they had been stub
bornly ignored by the East's vested
interests, but when they finally
forced it to a proxy vote they won
q humping victory by 42,100 proxies
to 1880.
The result is that the champion
ships will begin the day after the
Davis Cup challenge round ends,

Miniature Trains

By Jeon Scott, IS
Paul Junior High School

My sister and I went down to
the Union Station to see the minla-
ture train show, called the Metro
politan Southern System. After a
long wait in line, a ride in an ele-
vator and another waiting line, we
were given a pen by pretty hostess,
so that we could sign the guest
book. At last we scooted UP flight
of stairs. We gasped as we stepped
into the model railroad room.
Imitation mountains rose high on
a table, around which ran trains OF
every description-diesel, electric,
steam, old and modern! This lay
out was composed OF two gauges,
o and HO. The towns are not
complete along the right-of-way
yet, but buildings cut from cereal
boxes represent locations where
scale models will be placed later.
A loudspeaker called attention to
trains in the layouts and the fact
that other people were waiting and
to please move along" A crew of
eight men was running the layout,
though about IS persons belong to
the club. Coming past little town,
swift-moving object caught our
eyes. 1t turned out to be little
streetcar about an inch high and
3 inches long. Bridges and tunnels
were everywhere. Even a model
trestle was on a mountainside.
so far, the project has cost about
$4,000" a member told me. The
loudspeaker said, Come next year
to see the big show when this prof.
ect is DONE, The show is closing
now. 1t is one Of the most inter-
esting exhibits in Washington for
both grownups and children to see.

Teller Will Be Highest
Paid Pitcher Despite
$4,000 Salary Cut
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Bob Feller
may get a $4,000 cut in salary next
season but he still will be baseball's
highest paid pitcher.
The fireball highlander of the
world champion Cleveland Indians
is slated to meet with Tribe owner
Bill Veeck early next week to dis
cuss his contract. Teller, now busily
engaged in building a home for his
family near Dallas, Tex, intends
to depart for Cleveland Monday.
Although hardly discouraged by
his failure to notch 20 victories last
season for the first time in six COM
plete seasons, Teller agrees with
Veeck that a cut is forthcoming.
Bob earned $82, 500 in 1913.
IT suppose I'm due for slice in
salary" Teller said today, but you
can bet it won't be an amputation
as some seem to think. The way
I figure it, I'll probably wind up
making around $4,000 less than
last year"
Basic Salary Is $4,000.
While speaking at an all-sports
party here recently, Veeck cracked
I'D like to make as much next
year myself as Feller's cut in pay
will be-"
The Cleveland head man then
added that the last couple of years
I've been working for Teller but this
season Bobby is going to work for
me-"
Teller disclosed that he was paid
only $4,000 as a basic salary in
1948. He received an additional
81, 500 in bonus payments based on
figures. The Tribe drew
a record breaking 100000 plus last
year.
Il expect to start with the same
basic salary-$40,000 in 1949,' Bob
said. However, there probably will
be some adjustments made on the
bonus arrangements. I'll be get
ting slightly less per 10000 fans than
last year.
Feels He'll Top $4,000.
IF we should better last years
attendance, I'll have an opportunity
to make even more than last year
However. I'm not counting on it.
All in all, I should top $4,000"
The only other pitcher who comes
close to Teller in earning power Is
Hal Newhouser. The Detroit south
paw will receive about $4,000 next
season. He already has signed his
contract.
Teller last year won 10 and lost
IS after getting off to a wretched
start. He closed strong, winning
eight of his last nine decisions.
The defeat came on the final day
of4th regular season to Newhouser
and Detroit, necessitating that epic
playoff game for the American
League pennant. Bob struck out
1854 and had 3.57 earned run
average.

A Tall White Candle
Prise Contribution
By Joon Robinson, "A
Foirfox Hioh School

Perhaps you think candle
Is just another thing
That used TO- light the taverns,
Where the sailors went to sing.
But have you ever really thought
OF what a candle means?
OF how it represents the world
And all its different scenes?
1t holds so high its golden flame
To lead the world away
From all unpleasant happenings,
From darkness into day.
The candle is symbol Of
United hope and peace.
Until the world can find these thing
It's work will never cease.
It's helped the world in many ways
For by its Pickering flame
The world has made great progress
And men have won great fame,
It burns until it can no more,
And has no more to give:
So. by the light OF sturdy candle
The world was born and the worlt
shall live.

Robinson Suggests Islands
Natural attributes be Preserved

During an informal meeting last night, H. NJ. Robinson
Assistant to the President of the National Chamber of Com,
merce in Washington, suggested to the Executive Commit.
tee OF the local Chamber that a full time Secretary be employ
ed who would be able to preserve and develop the Island
natural attributes as it relates to the tourist trade.
, 1949-03-11

Mr.. Robinson said he was
very pleased to meet with the
representatives of the Cham
Der. He was glad of the oppor-
tunity to come down because
he had heard so much about
the Islands, and the more he
sees Of them the more he is
convinced of the tremendous
possibilities. He said it is the
coming playground of the Unit
ed States, having many advan-
tages over several places on
,ne mainland.
He said that as he sat in the
yard at Hamilton House he
ould feel "that delightful
oceeze", even in the hot sun.
MIR. Robinson then told of
certain work which the Cham
uer Of Commerce could do. In
the first place in a town of this
size the Chamber should have
a full-time secretary. He prais-
ed jobs Rasmussen for the
wonderful job he did but said
that it is impossible for a man
with another job to earn his
living, to give his full time as
well. It would be good to get
the right man because there
are a great many things that
such a man could do that could
not be done any other way
than to devote all his time to
it, one of which would be to
make all do their share of the
, 1949-03-11

work.
Continuing he said that it
would be a good thing to have
some nearby beaches that
would be easily accessible to
ordinary visitors living in
town., where he could 60 and
get a sea bath before it is
taken up by private interests.
Such a beach should not be too
far from the towns. If visitors
could enjoy the facilities of a
real good beach it would add a
great deal to our assets,
Mr.. Robinson then referred
to the unique architecture
that should be preserved and
can be made the most of. Many
OF these old places could be
identified and be more of in
terest to the tourist. The archi
lecture is fine; the sort of thing
people love to see because it
gives you a little feeling of be-
ing away from the" sterotyped"
houses; the feeling of anti
guilty. He then produced a
Christian Science Monitor ma
gazine in which the picture OF
an old mill appeared (identi
fled as one at estate Jerusa-
lem). Such he thinks should be
preserved in its primitive form
If possible, the machinery
should be reproduced even if
done in wood and painted
, 1949-03-11

In their original form. In addi-
ton, native handicraft could
be sold. But here he pointed
out that exhorbitant prices
should not be charged. 1t is be-
ing noted that at many places
high prices are being charged,
he urged post cards, not with
beautiful buildings or scenery
that is similar to those on the
mainland but rather quaint
things. The average tourist
does not want to see pictures
of post offices, churches or
squares. He again expressed
the hope something could be
done to encourage handicraft,
including straw work which a
tourist could say, on their re-
turn to the mainland, l got it
in the Virgin Islands.
Another suggestion was to
place signs on some of the old
buildings, like where Alexan-
der Hamilton clerked as a boy.
Mr.. Robinson said that per-
haps some man with ability to
do the job of secretary could
be found on the mainland
among retired pensioners, such
a man may like to come down
here who would take the job.
He suggests also that certifi-
Gates be given to members
which could be displayed es-I
pecially by merchants, thus it
would give to the tourist a
feeling of security, on the
other hand the Chamber
would make sure that the peo-
pie who receive them are all
right, and not to someone who
would gyp the customers.
Another suggestion made
was the sterilization of taxi
cab rates. If a dock is built it
would also add to the economy
of the Island; anything that
adds to the good of the commuI
nifty and makes it better would
be worthwhile to undertake.
Reference was also made of
the beautiful scenery and of
this he said someone couldI
start a sightseeing bus lineI
