Braves, Yanks Lead
las Five Clubs Gain;
Browns, As Sinking
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Major
league club owners, many Of
whom spent the early part Of
the season counting their losses
at the gate. are breathing a lot
easier these days.
An Associated Press survey
disclosed today that attendance
at major league ball parks in
1858 has pulled almost even with
last years figures. with two clubs
already over a million.
To date, major league teams
have played before $3.50, ,232 Gus
toners. Last year, they drew
9,859.971 at comparable period.
That's a drop of only 9,739.
The transplanted Milwaukee
Braves. who have attracted l.
096,949 fans in 48 home games.
are responsible for the gain OF
804.530 shown by the National
League. The Braves had only
195,147 paid admissions in Bos-
ton at this time last year.
The Yankees, with 1,034,50
paid, are the only American
League team running ahead Of
last years figures. They show
an increase of 116,059. overall.
the American League is 8l4,269
behind last years figures.
The only other clubs with i'm
proving attendance totals at
home are the Dodgers, who are
1851 ahead, the Phillies GA
1887 and the Cardinals (73,759) J..
The Tigers and Indians are
showing the most alarming de-
creases at the gate. Detroit is
down 264, ,489 and Cleveland 225,-
S73.
The Browns and the Athletics,
both rumored to be looking for
new homes. are behind by 1865.

Tom Fool Runs Today
Against Only One
Rival al Saratoga
By the As,eciniad Pres,

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y,
Aug. 4.-No one wants to race
Tom Fool, the Greentree Stables
top handicap star, so the SIS, ZOO
Wilson Mile at historic Saratoga
today will be a two-horse affair
with no wagering.
At one time, there were AZ
names in the entry box. but all
except Alfred Gwynn Wander
bits Indian Land wanted no
part of Tom Fool.
Tom Fool would have been a
prohibitive favorite, so the Sara
toga Association, viewing a pros
pective minus pool with anything
but relish, appealed to the State
Racing Commission for permis-
sion to run the Wilson as an ex-
hibition. The commission ap-
proved.
The Wilson is not run under
handicap rules, so Tom Fool will
carry 1875 pounds to lit for
Indian Land.
Won Race Last Year.
Tom Fool won the Wilson last
year when there was betting. He
probably will pick up about
$4,000 in first-place money.
Indian Land, who doesn't have a
record that would give him a
ghost of a chance against the
Greentree ace, is assured of
$4,000 in second-place money.
Ted Atkinson, who will ride
Tom Fool, has a better record
than his mount in this one. He
was up on Tom Fool last year,
on Hall of Fame, the 1851 win
ner. and Capot, the victor in
1850. Eric Guerin, Native Dane
er's regular rider, will be in In
dian Lands saddle.
Tom Fool has won six races
in row this year, including the
Metropolitan, Suburban and
Brooklyn HandicapS. Indian
Lands main claim to fame this
year is that he was second to
Count Turf in the Question
naire Handicap at Jamaica.
Two Horse Race in 40.
The Wilson never has drawn
large fields and once before only
two horses went to the post.
That was in 1910 when only
George D. Widener'S Eight
Thirty and William Ziegler's
Esposa answered the call.
Meanwhile, John Gaver, Green
tree trainer. and his boss, Jock
Whitney, were watching with
interest the scramble to bring
Tom Fool and Native Dancer
together. Only yesterday, the
Maryland Jockey Club set the
date of the Pimlico Special for
October "a. The purse has been
raised to $50,000.

Strange, isn't it. that some
thing which should bring out the
best in people sometimes shows
them up as mean and small. ALI
of us have seen an example of
this in situations where group
of offspring have to take care
of an elderly parent. These are
pretty nice people, on the sur
face. but bring them face to face
with this problem and too often
they are revealed as unkind, or
even cruel, and mighty tight
with a dollar. Let George Cor
Georgia) do it," is their slogan.
Mrs. B. is up against this prob
lem:
Il wish you would tell me what
is right and fair in the care of
an aged parent who has six chill
dren, all in good health and rea-
sonable financial condition" she
writes. For three years / have

knowing details, I'd say some
thing like this would be reason
able:
!. II you provide 1.-THE home,
time and care for her, the others
should put up all the cash. 1t
is ridiculous to suppose that each
is not able to contribute $40 a
month.
2. They should all take her off
your hands for at least two or
three week ends apiece, during
the year, so that she gets a little
variety and you get a break.
In any case of this sort, the
parent should feel that one place
is home and that she is merely
visiting when she is elsewhere.
1t is not pleasant for mother to
feel that she is being handed
around by rote, each family say
ing sadly, Unfortunately we
have to take my mother in for
the next three months"
AS I have written many times
before in this column, it is usu-
ally better for the elderly to have
separate home if that is pos
sible. But in the very common
case you describe, the relatives
at least owe it to themselves to
behave with common decency.

AT present prices I figure my
mother costs at least $50 a
month to support. Last year
received a total of $122.75 from
my brothers and sisters, as
against my estimated contribu-
ton of 5000. The sister who has
the most money gave no cash
but takes great credit because
she buys mother a cheap dress
or a bargain basement coat once
in a while, and never fails to
give her a nice little handker-
chief on her birthday.
"IS this fair? And who should
take care of her in time of sick
ness, which may become more
frequent in the future? Shouldn't
the others take her for week
ends in their own homes? My
husband has been wonderful
about this and I'm Inundated
to think how I'm imposing on
him"
These situations are a good
test of the basic character of
men and women, aren't they,
Mrs. B.? The proper-or per-
haps I should say the ideal
course is to call an old-fashioned
family council and try to divide
up the whole burden. Without

MEXICO:
GINGER ALE?

Since I have not seen an
answer to the inquiry about
Mexico, I will answer it. The
question was about the points
OF interest and accomoda-
tions on the Laredo highway.
The first city reached after
crossing the border is Monter-
rey. large industrial city, the
Milwaukee of Mexico, making
fine beer. I have always liked
the Gran Hotel Arcira, as it
is an old Spanish-type hotel,
but there are fine modern mo-
tells on the road entering the
city. The Arcira is centrally
located, has a fine dining room
and is convenient to shops,
government buildings, and the
plaza, where promenades are
still held on Sunday nights. A
hanson cab can be hailed in
front of the hotel for a really
romantic tour of the city in
the soft, warm evenings, but
beware of those used to lure
you to local night spots as you
might find the experience
more expensive than you would
care for. These cabs are
marked with the clubs names.
The next city is Victoria
where one can lunch quite
comfortably in an air condi-
toned dining room. I would
suggest Wales as your next
stop, about half way on the
trip. There are two motels.
Hotel Wales and Colonial
Courts. both with fair cuisine.
Be sure to arrange to have a
meal at the old, abandoned
copper mine which has been
beautifully redone into a hotel.
There are many points Of
interest along the way such
as a side trip to the Saltillo,
where blankets are woven on
hand looms: HorSetail Falls
Colo de Caballo), south of
Monterrey. The AAA in La
redo, Tex, has complete in
formation with maps to indi-
cate the mileage and points
of interest, although they will
not be needed to find the right
road, since there is only one.
The trip is a most interest,"
ing one, part of it quite noun
famous. The terrain is varied
from plains to steep noun
tains. covered with tiny ba-
mana plantations The question
was asked if Mexico City is
like Miami Beach. I believe
you are thinking of Acapulco
farther south. Mexico City is
quite cosmopolitan, like Paris.
l should be delighted to supply
any information that my two
years residence in Mexico
would enable me to give, If
you will contact me through
RICH. Accommodations in
Mexico City are varied, but
I've always liked the Hotel
Prince. Shirley Courts (Amer-
ican-owned) is also to be rec
commended. I will not attempt
to suggest points of interest or
eating places as there are SO
many, but would be delighted
to do so if requested.
Now a request, Could any

STORING NUTS:
APPLES

mrs. p. o. c., Washington
On October 18, there ap-
peared a request from P. NJ,
Edinburg. with regard to the
storing Of black walnuts over
q long period of time, and
requesting information about
the storing of apples, raw. in
a jar with asperin tablets.
Have been interested but as
yet have seen no answer. May
give you my experience with
both? First of all, just put the
nut meats (any kind in a
closed container and put them
in the deep freeze. I have kept
them for as long as a year
and they were as fresh and
sweet as when frozen.
Last year while visiting in
Virginia, I too heard Of the
apples and asperin idea, so I
tried it. Wonderful! Just peel
the apples. cut them as for
pie, put one aspirin tablet in
the bottom of the jar, fill with
apples, put another asperin
tablet on the top, fill with wa
ter, close jar Il used new
tops such as I would for reg
ular canning, set on the shell
and use as any fresh apples.
They kept wonderfully and in
this way can be used in any
way desired because there is
no seasoning of any kind used.
Just pour of the water and
YOU have fresh apples. I wait

be the first Of the sort that Gen.
Eisenhower has held since the
campaign. When he went to Ko-
rea after the election. accom-
panied by only a small news
group, he held a meeting with
reporters, but confined it to
reading a statement. with follow
up questions barred. The re-
porters. consequently, will have
an opportunity to quiz the new
President on the developments
over a long period-if they see
fit to try to get outside Of his
stewardship since January 20.
Truman Stunned TV.
Televised conferences - when
and if-would be an innovation.
Mr.. Truman shied away from
that idea, although occasionally
he would read a statement for
the films that had been given
out at a conference.
Generally, however. Mr.. Tru-
man confined the camera cover
age Of his conferences to the
period before questioning started.
Gen. Eisenhower also is per-
mitting pictures before tomor-
rows session gets under way.
The President has still an
other new idea in mind. When
he has news bearing Importantly
on some particular agency Of
Government. it is his plan to
bring in the head of the organ
ization to discuss that with re-
porters at the conference.
