Ferrarese, who first attracted
national attention by his 13 strike
outs in his initial major league
start against Cleveland on May 5,
will pitch his share of games as
regular starter during the forth
coming home stand. Don's strike
out performance was second only
to the Is strikeouts made by Bob
Feller in his initial start in 1887.
Feller watched Ferrarese's near
record debut from the Cleveland
dugout.
In New York, Ferrarese demon
strated that his performance
against Cleveland was no accident
for he held the power-hitting
Yankees hitless until the ninth
inning, with the Bombers even
failing to drive a ball out of the
infield until the seventh inning.
The Yankees finally connected
for two scratch hits in the ninth,
but Don hung on to win, 10, hav-
ing driven in the Orioles only run
himself in the seventh inning with
a single.
Elmer Burkart, Oriole Ticket
Manager, has announced that
hundreds Of excellent seats are
available for the Yankee series

next home stand.

to accommodate our FANS, Burkart
said, "for we have never filled the

baseball has returned to Baltimore.

One of the highlights of the next
home stand will be the formal
dedication of Memorial Stadium in
honor of those Baltimoreans who
died in the World Wars and Korean
War. This will be held before
the double-header scheduled with
Boston on Memorial Day, Wednes-

Rise in Home Ownership
Is Expected to Level off

which almost every family will
own its own home.
That's nonsense. The ratio
may never get much higher than
lit is now. no matter how much
money the government pours in
to mortgages and incentive pro-
grams. The blunt fact is that
many families don't want to own
their own homes and that they
are better of in rented dwellings.
Tenants Preferred
Here are some groups for
whom home ownership may be a
burden:
Young families with pre-school
children. The size of the fami-
ly, hence the size of the house
needed, is still uncertain. The
care of the youngsters may not
leave enough time and money to
care for homes
Families consisting Of a parent
and one son or daughter and
where a marriage may radically
change requirements.
Elderly couples, where shovel
ing snow, moving lawns and
other household chores might
shorten life.
Families with a handicapped
person whose care precludes care
OF a house and garden, or who
must live close to sources of
treatment.
Families in which the bread
winners occupation requires
frequent moves.
Families who get major sat-
isfactions from the theater, the
ballet, sports and other ACTIVE
tiles rather than from a home.
| There are also families who
don't want to be bothered with
the responsibilities of home
ownership.
Confirmed by Study
This persistency of tenancy
is largely corroborated by a
study of rental housing in Mil
waukee. made by the University
of Wisconsin's Bureau of BUSH
ness Research and Service, f.
nanced in part by a Rockefeller
Foundation grant.
/ The study showed that high
rent areas contained unattached
persons. young adults. small new
family groups with few if any
children, and the aged. Many of
the aged lived close to the BUSH
ness district and nursing home.
In the low-rent areas, there
were many minority groups,
some, presumably. who will not
be sold homes. In the medium
rental areas. investigators found
many families with grown chill
dren who had once owned their
own homes,
