BASEBALL'S ORPHANS

These two have helped make
baseball managers relief con-

other heroic firemen. Hugh Casey,
the Dodgers fine game-saver, set
a World Series record in l947
when he appeared in six of the
seven games and gained credit for
two of the three the Dodgers won.
Strange things can happen on a
ball field. Jim Turner was sitting
in the dugout when a Yankee
pitcher suddenly lost his stuff.
Down in the bull pen Johnny
Johnson was warming up. There
was another base hit and Manager
Joe Mccarthy phoned for John

ting on the bench, hadn't even
thought about warming up and
johnson was walking across the
field from the pen.
But now Turner had been an
nounced, and the rule was that he
had to pitch to'at least one man.
Fletcher raved but Jones was un-
moved.
''They had a big argument
about it," said Turner, who
can laugh now. ''Fletcher did
MT know what to dO.''
Finally Mccarthy turned to
Jim and said, 60 out there and
throw four" Turner thought he
meant to merely walk the batter
and let johnson take over. He
surprised everybody including
himself by getting a strikeout.
Then he turned to the dugout,
expecting to be replaced by John
son. But Mccarthy just grinned
and called out to him: "You got

| demand and prices have risen
steadily since last September and
are still rising.
Builders have turned down the
high prices and are using cork
and asphalt tile flooring in ever
increasing quantities, even in
high priced luxury homes.

in most plumbing fixtures, such
equipment has been on an allo-

facturerS refuse to give a firm
price. Copper has risen from 16
to % cents per pound. Dealers
hope to ease the situation by
building up an inventory during
the slow winter months.

HEATING: Steel piping will
probably be allocated to dealers,
but increased use of aluminium is
expected to ease the situation in

no larger-than-usual purchases.
KITCHEN CABINETS: Dealers

A box car shortage has caused
some cratic shipments, but the
situation is only temporary.
Financing Picture.
FINANCING: The market is
improving, but leaders want to be
sure builders have sufficient ma
terials on hand to finish any
homes they start. This conserva-
tive attitude, plus the recent Fed
eral credit curbs, slows down con-
struction starts. Lenders favor
loans to builders erecting homes
in the $4,000 and under range.

1.-THE biggest problem is ar
ranging short-term loans to build
ers to finance construction jobs.
But this problem is expected to
improve. The market for CT home
loans at 4 per cent is expected to
be very good within 80 days, with
plenty of available funds.
LUMBER: Very critical now at
high prices. Lower prices, more
lumber expected in so days.

Few would quote firm prices, in
advance now, with prices quoted
only at time of shipment. But
they thought a different picture
would show up by November.
"All dealers were optimistic
about the lack of Government
competition in buying. Agents
representing manufacturers Of
stoves, refrigerators and Other
household equipment said theil
firms had received no orders, let

definitely had not been requested

to be plentiful.
"REFRIG ERATORS: Local
dealers now are slow in taking
orders from builders, fearful the
factories won't be able to supply
the items. Some manufacturers
have announced that only 6-cubic
foot sized refrigerators will be
sold to builders. with the larger
sizes going to retail outlets. A
price increase is expected, most
dealers are still selling at Janu-
airy / prices. At least one local
dealer is winding up several big
developments and expects to be
taking orders again soon in large
quantities.
UTILITIES: In very good

ban Sanitary Commission already
has stocks on hand sufficient to
