Willie Mays
Credits Kids
ForhisSuccess

New York, N. willie Mays,
New York Giants phenomenal
"Say- Hey" kid, gives the youth of
America a big part of the credit
for his success. According to
Willie himself, youngsters have
been the best influence on him as
a baseball player and as a man.
Mays writes how he feels about
youngsters in the current issue of
Coronet Magazine. His article,
called What Kids Have Taught
Me-" is the heartwarming story
of more than a baseball player.
It's the story of an appreciative
man.
"Get me talking about kids"
says Willie in Coronet, land you
have got me talking about one of
my two favorite subjects. Base
ball is the other, and if you think
they have a lot to do with each
other-Mister, you're right"
According to Willie, kids have
never let him forget that baseball
is game, and games are supposed
to be fun. He recalls this lesson
very clearly in his article. 1t was
just after he came up to the New
York Giants and was doing very
poorly when he heard a kid say
that when he grows up he is going
to be baseball player. Willie
kept thinking about what this
youngster said. Here he was, hit
ting at low average, and this kid
thought Willie was lucky. 1t was
then that Willie realized that chill
dren know the truth of it-baseball
is fun. Ever since that day, writes
the say-hey kid, he started living
up to his reputation.
Besides thanking kids for bet
ter playing attitude, Willie writes
how they have actually helped him
learn how to play better. Very
often before game, Willie plays
stick-ball with the neighborhood
children on the city streets. And,
invariably, he writes in May Coro-
net, he picks up some trick about
hitting or fielding that helps him
on the major league field.

ball coach, Abbott's most lasting
contribution was his development
of the Tuskegee Physical Educa-

vention from the gridiron, he de-
veloped one of the finest physical

For the encouragement of Negro
women TO enter athletics.
He personally coached and de-

their homes by 416 colored home
demonstration agents who work as
an extension arm of the land grant
colleges in their States.
Throughout the South, rural
colored homemakers are improving
their homes. The improvement they
seem to like best, according to the
agents, is the modernization of
their kitchens. Since 1850 over 1OO,-
600 kitchens in rural colored homes
have been improved.
In some homes, say the agents,
it's just piece of linoleum on the
floor, others, it's a new stove or a
kitchen sink with hot and cold
running water, and instill others,
it may be attractive cabinets and
extra storage space.
Home agents in several States
report that they are encouraging
farm families to ventilate their
food storage closets to keep their
homecoming cooler in the sum-
mer. The ventilation is provided by
making an opening in the floor of
the closet and one in the ceiling,
and then installing slated shelves
to permit cool air from the opening
in the floor to circulate among the
called foods and poss out through
the ceiling. In winter the opening
in the floor is closed.

provements to celebrate. Improve

SPO R T S
CLOSEUP
BY FRITZ POLLARD

NEW YORK, (Global) - About
this time last year, when the
Giants were pinning their hopes
on Willie Mays, we said we hoped
they weren't making a big mis-
take. Not that Willie isn't truly
amazing. He is. But Willie is also
human, as we pointed out at that
time. He's still young kid and
he's bound to be affected by the
adulation of the multitude.
Willie has turned in some fine
performances on the ball field, and
he is deserving of any honors that
have been bestowed upon him. But
there is a great deal of attention
and emphasis on Willie that is en-
tirely unnecessary and that actu-
ally can prove to be Willie's down
fall. We refer, of course, to the
winning and dining that sports
heroes are treated to. We think
that Willie has kept his head a
long time, but it seems the pres
sure is becoming too great.
After all, there are a few other
players on the Giants team, many
of whom have contributed a good
share to The teams success. To
say that "as Willie goes, so go the
Giants" is putting q lot of re-
sponsibility on the kids shoulders.
He has carried a lot of this re-
sponsibility, it is true, but to
make him the whole team is not
only exaggerating the Importance
of one player, but it is psychology
cally bad for the kid.
If this seems like a pessimistic
point of view, take look at Willie
and his recent lapses, has apparent
Observation-Disclosures and all around
sloppiness. They certainly aren't
due to lack of ability. AS an old
timer, we would say they are due
to distractions which could easily
be avoided by proper handling.

The increase is being offered to
private lending agencies to en-

USING GOOD
QUALITY HAY

j. 0. Tretsven, state supervisor
of DHIA testing, reminds dairy
men that much of the first cror
hay that was put up in the state
this summer is of poor quality be-
cause of the rainy weather that
interfered with haying in many
areas.
Much of this late cut hay NAV
be classified as coarse and stem
my and can be expected to be
below average in protein content.
In addition it may contain a large
amount of a woody, indigestibIe
material called lignin. The Iignin
itself is not only indigestibIe but
it is reported to interfere with
the digestion of other essential
nutrients found in the hay.
What to do about it? Well
Tretsven says if you find it nee
essary to use this kind you will
have to feed more hay and con-
c~entrates to maintain production
since the coarse, woody stems
have little value as a feed for
milk cows.
