HARD GOING FOR
MAN WHO KNOWS
WHAT HE WANTS
Catfish Corner Mans Only
Trouble Is That Everybody
Else Wants To Do Good
BY Him
By MISS PINKIE PERRY

Professor AnoreXy a m b Sc
who comes back to his old home
in the summers is man who
looks on the bright side of life,
when he can. Everybody wants to
be helpful he says, if we can
stand it. The only trouble with
Professor Ambrose is that he is a
man who knows what he wants.
To hear him tell it, nobody is will
ing for him to have what he
wants. Everybody wants to do
good things for him, to be help
full and show him what is right,
but he doesn't always want to be
shown what is right.
But let him tell the story, and
how he found things when he
came back to his old home and
started building the house at Cat
fish Corner. The Professor is head
of the department of Moronics or
something or other at Fetherpeke
Institute for Women, but he loves
his old home. Two years ago ne
started his house
81 had planned a long time to
build this house, and used to sit
up nights studying out how
wanted it built. knew just what
colors of paint l wanted in every
place, and in fact every other de-
tail.
when / first came back, had
to stay with old friends, but most
of the time l lived with my cousin
Rev. Esau Byrd and got my meals
with another friend, Girdle Greg
DRY. When l would leave the
house where l slept, both husband
and wife insisted / stop for
breakfast each morning, and
would politely refuse, since had
promised to eat elsewhere.
"And each morning they would
insist / eat, and l would decline
with thanks, and explain all over
again, and they would follow me
to the door and finally to the gate,
begging me to eat.
"After l had eaten my break
fast, and had started down the
road, would be called by various
ones and urged to come eat, and
l would say no. had eaten, and
would thank them. And various
others would continue to insist
eat some more, and / would tell
them several times 1 had to get
on my way to where l was build
ing the house, and did not have
time, even though l were willing,
and they would continue to urge
me to eat again, altho l had told
them was not hungry.
"This was repeated several
times a day, morning, noon and
night.
81 had hired Hexapod Hooper
to build my house, and he is capa
bic man, but the only trouble with
him was, he wanted to tell me how
to build my house. When showed
him my plans, he spent half a day
telling me how l could save lum-
Der and get bigger house by
building it two feet longer and
one foot narrower.
Il didn't do any good to tell
him l knew just what l wanted.

Baseball Pay Frozen
But Thaw May Come
BY The Associated Press

Salaries of baseball players are
included in the wage freeze, law
yers for the Wage Sterilization
Board said yesterday.
They hastily pointed out, how
ever, that this doesn't mean that
every baseball player necessarily
will perform this summer for the
same pay that he got last year.
But they said that as the situa-
ton stands right now, players
salaries are frozen.
One of the boards lawyers
M. L. Mike" Ryder-said the
baseball players case can best be
illustrated by an example. Ryder
told a reporter:
Suppose a doctor or a dentist
is working for himself, charging
fees for his work. He's exempt.
But suppose he's working for
a company, on a yearly basis. He's
covered in the wage freeze along
with other wage earners.'
Baseball players have one break
Although they are signing con-
tracts now, their pay doesn't start
until the season begins.
The wage board lawyers said
that undoubtedly by that time
many exceptions to the wage
freeze will have been made.

portant when I played" said
Cobb, because SO many times
one run meant the ball game.
When you gave those old pitchers
one-run lead in the sixth inning
they usually hung on to it. Wild
Bill Donovan used to tell us, Get
me two runs and we'll win,' and
he was just one of many good
enough to do it.
Walter johnson probably was
the greatest pitcher, but 1 sort of
got on to him in later years.
George Mogridge was always
tough for me. Johnson deserves
so much credit because he had
nothing behind him. 1 remember
his first start and he was terrific
then. We saw we couldn't beat
him by swinging against that
stuff, so we beat him by bunting. y
1t was Cobb, who spent his en-
tire career in the American
League. who spoke for the Hall
of Fame players in ceremonies
preceding a six-hour celebration
at the Broadway Central Hotel
where the National League wa.
founded. In a brief speech Cobb
expressed their gratitude at be-
ing asked to participate in the
