You Can Build Barbecue Pit at Low Cost
By Jim Mortenhoff

Here's a barbecue pit that an.
man can build in a week end.
It's not only easy to build.
it's cheap. You can put it up in
your favorite shady spot for less
than $40. That includes every
thing but your first steak.
which of course will come to
much more.
Here's how it's built:
Basic materials is concrete par
tition block, which is very in
expensive. The project uses only
So blocks-and they sell for
around 10 cents each, depending
on where you live. The blocks
are half the thickness of stand
ard concrete blocks by 4 by
16 inches.
Mortar Mix Saves Time.
Only other materials needed
are mortar mix, fire clay. ce-
ment paint, a piece of expanded
diamond mesh fencing, and a
strong back.
Unless you want to buy a lot
of sand. or have access to free
sand for mixing mud" you are
better off buying prepared NOR
tar mix with the sand already
added. It costs a little more than
mixing your own, but it saves a
lot of wear and tear.
Basic unit is a block wall,
seven blocks wide and six
blocks high. The top two rows,
or courses" are each inset one
block at each end.
Lay the block on a prepared
footing-a small ditch dug in
the ground and filled with con-
crete. Be absolutely certain that
your footings are level! This is
the most important step in the
whole operation. and the hard
est.
Saving on Blocks.
Blocks can be laid up one on
top of the other. This is a small
structure that won't be bearing
any stress. so it is not necessary
to overlap the blocks on each
course. This saves a lot of time
and effort-and a lot of block,
since it takes some small ability
to break block in half to match
up on the ends of overlapping
courses.
Build your wall to face the

wouldn't do any harm-but it
did. AS soon as enough of the
plaster falls off to make it worth
my lazy time I intend to replas-
ter-the right way.
While the plaster is still wet,
you can use a level as guide
and scribe lines across it with a
stick. Adding overlapped verti-
cal lines between these makes
the plaster take on the appear
ance of brickwork.
Now all you have to do is fill
the firebox with coarse fill, top
it off with sand for a fire bed,
install a crate on cut nails
driven or set in the inside walls
about 6 to 8 inches over the fire
bed, and paint the whole thing.

prevailing wind. If you do so,
you'll find that chimney is
unnecessary-there'll be plenty
of draft up the wall.
Build the two side walls, two
blocks deep and four high, and
add the front wall between
them, two blocks wide and three
high.
That's almost all there is to
it. And this much you can do in
one day. The next day you can
finish it off.
The final step is plastering the
walls. Mix up a big batch of
mortar, wet down the structure
thoroughly with a hose and
plaster the structure. It's easy,
once you get the hang of it. Use
fiat, plastering trowel.
Use Fire Clay.
Add as much powdered fire
clay to the mortar as it will
stand when you plaster the in
side over the "firebox This will
keep the plaster from falling off.

2Hours Allotted
In U. 5. Appeal
IBC Attorneys Cite
Baseball Decision;
N Revenue Is Crux
BY the Assoeiafed Press

The Government set out today
to try to convince the Supreme
Court that two major boxing
clubs and two big names in fight
promotion are involved in an
illegal conspiracy to violate the
antimonopoly laws.
The court has. allotted two
hours for arguments by both
sides, beginning early this after
noon.
What the Government is seek
ing is a Supreme Court ruling
against the international Boxing
Clubs of New York and Illinois,
Madison Square Garden, James
D. Norris. head of the IBC, and
Arthur M. Wirtz. who shares
with Norris ownership Of the
Chicago Stadium and it's sub
salaries.
The boxing people base their
case chiefly on the legal doctrine
of stare decisis," under which
courts sometimes stand by pre-
vious decisions and refuse to
disturb settled matters.
Baseball Ruling Cited.
The settled matter" cited in
this case is the relationship of
professional baseball to the Ma
tion's antitrust laws. Last No
vember, the Supreme Court ruled
that baseball does not come un-
der the antitrust laws.
Attorneys for the boxing in
terests told the court in a brief:
"Our basic argument is that
since professional boxing is and
always has been indistinguish-
able from professional baseball,
in all material aspects of the
manner in which it is conducted,
the decisions relating to pro-
fessional baseball must be
treated as governing profess
sional boxing"
The Government, which Is ap-
,pealing an adverse ruling in
Federal Court in New York,
argued that baseball and boxing
are markedly different"
TeleviSiOn Involved.
The crux of the argument in
wolves television. The Govern
ment maintains at least 25 per
cent of boxing lncome-and some
cases more than so per cent
comes from rights to put on
Nationwide television shows.
This, the Justice Department
argues, puts boxing squarely in
interstate commerce.
No more so than baseball, the
boxing lawyers reply. They ar
que that baseball collects 10
times as much from TV and
radio as does boxing.
Nathaniel L. Goldstein. New
York attorney general, entered
the case as a friend of the
court" arguing with the Gov
ernment that TV is the big factor
in boxing income.
Television, not the box office,
is the tail that swings the box-
ing Kite" GoldStein said.
