Sweating Cold Water Pipes.
Question-In my basement I
have a pool table above which
are some cold water pipes. In the
summertime, these pipes sweat
and drop on the table. Is there
any way I can stop this condi-

Answer-If appearance is i'm

be covered with an anti-sweat
pipe covering that is handled
by plumbing supply houses.
Should you desire to keep down
costs, cover the cold water pipes
with several thicknesses of news
paper and tie them in place. Or,
you can cut burlap into 3-inch
wide strips and wrap two or
three thicknesses around the
pipe. This will provide sufficient
insulation to prevent humid air

Navy Keeps Games at Baltimore, Too
Colts Switching Seats Blocked
|By Construction at Stadium

seeing the game as once expected,
only $4,000 can be accommo-
dated. But dspite the loss, the
Colts have decided to keep the
team here for its home games.
It was the purchase of $4,000
season tickets by Baltimore fans
that made it possible for the city
to get the National Football
League franchise.
For a time there were reports
that the Colts would play the
Redskins at Byrd Stadium at the
University of Maryland and that
Navy would meet Cornell and
Duke at Annapolis.
Chief purpose of the construc-
tion is to lure a major league
baseball team to Baltimore. With
that idea in mind. Mayor D'Ales-
andre and the Park Board are
sending attractive brochures to
various points throughout the
country telling what Baltimore
will have to offer major league
team when the stadium is COM
pleted. In addition to other
things, the brochure points out
that when the. construction is
completed the stadium will seat
51,750 for baseball and will be
expandable to a $4,000 capacity.

mage.
Maryland and Duke officials
realized it would be impossible
to stage the scrimmage with
out the press learning who out

cancel the test. The teams are

BALTIMORE, Aug. 31.-Con-
venience will have to step aside
for progress as construction
continues at Memorial Stadium
without alteration of football
games scheduled there this sea-
son.
The Baltimore Colts will play
their home games there as in
tended, despite the necessity Of
calling in a number Of ticket
holders for relocation Of seats.
Navy, which, like the Colts, con-
sidered moving elsewhere, will
play Cornell and Duke at the
stadium as scheduled.
First game affected is the ex-
hibition between the Colts and
Washington Redskins September
20. Those who have tickets to
that game in sections 8-11 and
1895 are asked to contact the
Colts office. Tickets for these
seats should be exchanged as
scaffolding necessary in con-
struction Of an upper deck
blocks the view. Construction is
a month behind schedule.
The Colts will take a $4,000
loss at the game in that exhib-
ition. Instead of 10000 fans
