THIS N DATA owe an apol-
ogy to the members of both the
track and tennis squads whom l
have, of necessity, overlooked this
spring as far as publicity is con-
cerned. Since my Leader activities
are on part-time basis, it is i'm
possible for me to devote sufficient
attention to the progress of the
Shaw cinder and net athletes. Us
ually the track and tennis meets
are held at the same time that
the baseball team is playing and
|, therefore, am unable to attend
all of those events. However, both
squads have compiled excellent
records this season and are GER
tainly a credit to their school. The
track team has won dual meets
with Glenville, Shaker and Univer-
sity School, tied Heights, lost to
Western Reserve Academy and
finished third in the Lake Erie
League meet at Elyria last Fri
day. The tennis team, led by Tom
Meinhardt, an outstanding netter,
has defeated East Tech, Gilmore
Academy, Western Reserve Aca-
denny, Benedictine, Glenville and
has lost only to University. Nice
work, boys.
One of the most ardent boosters
Of the Shaw baseball team is Sue
Tarbert, a student at Collinwood.
She's "Vara" fond of the team.
Bunny" Hoffman, a Shaw senior,
is another faithful follower of the
Shaw nine who thinks the short
stop position is well Fortified"
Sheila Ganey is at most of the
games humming Danny Boy, her
favorite tune. Bill Campbell, who
was an outstanding member of the
Cardinal nine until his graduation
in January, is solidly behind the
current team. He is working as a
gas station attendant until next
fall when he will enter the Uni
versity of Cincinnati. He spends
his early supper hour at the Shaw
games, sacrificing his evening meal
in order to lend his moral support.
Dick Fort and Jack Graney are
reported to be very close friends.
They were seen conversing on Lake
Shore DIR. last Saturday. Could it
be that Dick, who is doing such
an excellent job at Shaw's sports
commentator on the morning broad
casts, is being groomed for a pro-
fessional job? Incidentally, Dick
prefers to play ball on the oppon-
ents' fields. "Shaw Field is like
a morgue when we play there. The
stands are so quiet and empty that
the ball sounds like a cannon shot
when it hits the catcher's mitt.
I'm sure the team would play
better baseball if more of the stu
dents came to the games to lend
moral encouragement" Dan Kra-
mer and AL Gray are the Cardinal
Handy Andys" this season. So
far, Dan has caught, played left
field, right field and first base |
while versatile AL has played GEN.
ter field, third base and left field
in addition to his catching duties.

Do You Know Of
A Nesting Colony
Of Purple Martins !?

The Cleveland Museum of Ma
tural History is interested in MAX
ing a census of the nesting colo
MES of purple martins anywhere
within 80 miles of the Cleveland
Public Square. This takes in Lorain
on the west, Painesville on the
east, Akron on the south, and
portions of Geauga, Portage, Sum-
nit, Medina and Lorain Counties,
as we'll as all of Cuyahoga County.
Purple martin nesting colonies
are so conspicuous that it should
be comparatively easy for any
interested person to report their
presence this spring or summer.
The information desired is the
exact location of any active martin
colony, including name of owner,
street and number, if possible; the
number of nesting boxes provided;
and the number of pairs of martins
nesting in these boxes this season.
Last year an effort was made to
get this information, but it was
started too late. However, 88 mar
tin houses were reported in 55 diff
ferent locations, with 973 pairs of
purple martins nesting. This figure.
should be greatly exceeded this
year with the early start which
has been made. Reports should be
sent to DIR. Arthur B. Williams,
PITT Euclid ave., Cleveland Is,
Ohio, not later than June Is.

Preppers Nose Out
Cards 6-5 In
II Inning Game

The traditional game with Uni
versity School, played on the U. S.
diamond on Tuesday, went to the
Preppers, 6-5, in an eleven-inning
struggle which lasted three hours.
The Cardinals started out with
bang when they crossed the plate
four times in the first inning on
walk to George Lawrence, a
triple by Al Gray, Dick Forts
single and another three-base
wallop by Ken Horton. However,
Tom Goetz, University's speedball
artist, settled down to limit the
local nine to three safe blows in
the remaining ten innings.
The host team, after tallying
once in the opening stanza, took
advantage of Tony Berohn's
fourth-inning wildstreak to tie the
game at A on two walks, stolen
base, wild pitch, a balk, passed
ball, a single, and a three-base
error by Mike Vara. Tony Gill
berto then relieved Berohn and
he, in turn, was followed by Don
Sexton, who took over in the
sixth. Shaw went hitless in the
last six innings as the strong
armed Goetz increased his strike
out total to eighteen.
The Preppers proved to be rude
hosts in the bottom half of the
eleventh when they pushed across
the deciding run with a four-hit
outburst. Goetz led off with a
single to right. Catcher Mickey
Covington bunted and reached
first when Sexton fielded the ball,
hesitated in looking to second base
and threw too late to the initial
sack. Hank Pildner followed suit
by tapping another roller to Sex
ton and the bases were loaded
when Abate failed to cover first
on the play. Second Baseman Jim
Decker then flied to Vara and all
the runners held their bases. Dick
Wlkoff, Prepper first baseman,
then collaborated with Goetz, who
scored on a squeeze play, Sexton
failing in a desperate attempt to
catch the pop bunt.

/ After a two-week period of con-
fusion and indecision prompted by
the entrance and subsequent with
drawal of the Favorite Knits in
the local league, the East Cleve-
land softball picture has finally
been completed by "The Old
Master Painter, Roy Wisecup.
The original plans, discussed at
a managers meeting early this
month, called for a two-league set
; up with an "A-1" and GAP" clas-
sification. When the Knits later
expressed an interest in entering
team at Shaw Field, the plans
we're tentatively changed to create
an AA League with the weaker
teams being relegated to a Class
A League.
Finally, at a meeting Of the
managers on Monday night, it was
decided to revert to the plan in
operation last summer - an IL
team East Cleveland Class A
League. However, several new
twists have been added which
should prove popular with all con-
cerned. Since all team hackers pre-
fer Shaw Field, where the lights
and better facilities attract larger
crowds, and where they would
therefore derive more benefit from
the advertising medium, ALL East
Cleveland Class A League games
will be played at Shaw Field. The
exception is the postponed games,
which will be re-scheduled for Pat
tison Field and Forest Hills Park.
In order to do this, it was de-
cided to have two league games
on Monday and Saturday nights,
three games on Tuesdays and Fri
days, and one game each Thurs
day as preliminary to the weekly
Girls League game on that night.
Thus, there will be eleven Glass A
games scheduled for Shaw Field
each week, which means that each
team will play two and sometimes
three games week, depending
upon the weather.
Wednesday nights at Shaw Field
will feature an Inter-Park League
game with a girls exhibition pre-
liminary. Gabriel Shocks will rep
resent East Cleveland in this six
team circuit, which will also in
clude teams representing Lake
wood, Garfield Heights, Berea,
Westlake and Bedford.
On the nights when two games
monday, Wednesday and Thurs
day. are scheduled, the first game
will begin at TOO p. m. with the
second game slated to get under

Committee, to say that "Ninety.
five percent of all fires are the
act Of some individual. Call it what
ever you like, carelessness or any
thing else, it is costing in property
and lives, every factory, mercan-
tile and home owner in Ohio. This
act can be attributed to a large
extent to the careless smoker and
the apathetic attitude of the man
with a match" he added.
Harry ]. Callan, State Fire Mar
shall, said today, "Over $3.50 of all
fires in Ohio are caused by the
careless use of matches and smok-
ing" Many children are burned
to death or severely incapacitated
from the so-called "k tic h e n
match. If the householder must
use this type match, they should
be kept in metal container out
of the reach of children. 1t is much
better to use safety matches, they
cost very little more and are much
safer" he concluded.
Be sure your cigarette and
match are out before you throw
them away.
When you leave your home for
an evening, or in the hustle of de-
parting on your vacation, be sure
ash trays are emptied.
Don't go into your clothes closet
with lighted match or cigarette.
Avoid smoking in bed, many
people are burned to death each
year from this practice.
If these simple rules are fol-
lowed, each individual in Ohio can
help save his home, his place of
business and his job.

The critic, an E. R. Bowden OF
Bedford, Va, violently opposed a
statement by Darden in which he
advocated equal education for Ne
groes with that of whites in the
south. Darden told the Southern
Governors Conference meeting in
Charleston, S. c., that Negroes
should be admitted to white pro-
fessional and graduate schools on
a non-jimcrow basis.
He also asked that Negroes be
placed on local school boards, but

HINTS TO
HOMEMAKERS

For most wool garments
steam pressing is the only way
to take out wrinkles, smooth the
surface and sharpen creases, our
clothing specialists say. The ex'
ceptions are woods sold as wash
able, such as challis, which may
be ironed like other laundered
clothing, but always with a warm
rather than a hot iron-and on
the wrong side.
Because wool is so sensitive to
heat and so easily damaged by
scorching, the home pressing JOB
needs to be done with care. II
YOU haven't a steam iron, use an
ordinary iron and two clean
press cloths, one of wool and one
of firm cotton cloth. Or, simpler
use one of the treated press
cloths for sale at notion count
ers and follow directions on the
package. It's risky to press a
good wool garment with thin
cheesecloth, as is often done. The

the press cloths and beat out

hand or a wood block.
WASHABLE WINTER WEAR
Winter.weight fabrics that are
washable are coming to retail
stores in increasingly varied
lines. The mother who sews for
a Sabotage daughter and who
wants most garments washable,
even in winter, will find those
newer types of flannels and other
warm fabrics worth hunting out
and examining.
Washable corduroy comes in
different weights, including ze-
phyr-light corduroy for dresses,
and heavier weights for jackets
and coats. the corduroys are
quite warm and wear well.
Washable wool-and-cotton flan-
mel is another choice. Also on the
market is a washable spun ray.
on that resembles wool flannel
in looks, and provides some
warmth. School girls are joining
grown-ups in the fashion of
matching a jersey cardigan in
color with a cotton or other fabric
dress.

wool may scorch even when the
cotton cloth above shows no
sign of it.
Steam-press on the wrong side,
if wool is likely to shine from
pressing, or if the weave has any
raised pattern. Right side press
ing may be best if wool is thick.
Try a little place and see which
gives best results.
Be sure to leave a little mois-
ture in, or the wool will look
hard and lifeless. This is most
important.
To steam-press: Cover the wool
first with the dry wool press
cloth and then with the cotton
press cloth dampened in warm
water. Instead of ironing back
and forth as you do with cotton,
press by setting down, then lift
ing and shifting a warm iron.
Press down just enough to force
steam through the wool. Lift
