to throw a slider at the behest
of Earl Torgeson. White Sox

manager this winter when both
were playing in the Nicaraguan
league.

Torgeson." Kralick declared
fatty. HE told me I'd have
to develop a slider to stick in
the big leagues, then showed
me how to do it,"
Kralick was proficient stu
dent. He won IA games, lost
six. and finished as the leagues
top pitcher.
Kralick allowed back-to-back
singles by Faye Throneberry
and Norm Zauchin. but that
was all the damage against
him. He famed three and
walked none. displaying a good
fast ball and a cracking curve
in the process.
Something to Work With
Brief exposure in a squad
game doesn't constitute sue
cess, but it assures Kralick of
additional opportunities. He
may wilt under the pressure
which will be applied later by
more formidable opposition,
but for the moment Manager
Cookie Lavagetto is heartened.
Cookie first glimpsed Kralick
on the Senators last 1858 visit
to Detroit. Scout Dick Wiencek
had seen Kralick pitch a no.
hitter in the National Semipro
Baseball Tournament in Wi
chita last summer for a team
from Detroit.
A resident of Wyandotte,
Mich, Kralick was brought to
Briggs Stadium for a tryout.
After watching him throw a
few pitches, Cookie advised
Griffth-alone on that trip
to sign him. Cal did. for $4,000,
outbidding the Tigers.
Kralick says he was released
by Davenport early last sea-
son when the White Sox as
signed two bonus pitchers to
that club. Jack was deemed ex-
pendable. He had compiled a
4-8. record with jacksonville
and was 3-6 with Colorado
Springs in 1855. He was lilo
and 81 in two years with Du-
luth-Superior and was IL
with Davenport when axed.

ORLANDO, Fla, Mar. b.
There's solid affection for
Cookie Lavagetto in the SEN
ators' training camp. There's
the occasional grumble, Of
course, from a .220 hitter who
feels he's being neglected. Once
In awhile q pitcher will moan
that he's being forgotten. but
the overall picture is one Of
immense satisfaction that the
intense Italian Is in command.
He's a manager who win
bark obscenities at a malin-
gerer. He'll needle the lazy into
action, throw q friendly arm
around q befuddled rookie. The
methods are different, but the
aim is constant. He wants i'm
provement.
Cookie is a charmer. Hi. va.
buddy boy" is the usual warm
greeting, accompanied by one
Of the worlds brightest smiles.
The eyes are glowing. radiating
the feeling to all who encounter
it that they've done him a IA
vor merely by walking into
view.
Behind that captivating
manner Is all the sincerity that
may be damned into one hui
man. Cookie occasionally Is
plunged into deep gloom by re-
peated inefnciency. He worries
about his Senators so fervidly
that he'll actually pop into a
rash, but generally there's that
glorious laugh from deep down
Always there is honesty.
Cookies honesty has a start
ling effect on reporters accus-
toned to evasive answers. His
fortnight responses cause
shock, for II he's asked about
an athlete he's likely to say,
Il don't like him. He has q
dead body, no bounce. Good
pitching murders him. He's
slow, can't steal O base for
me. can't make q double play"
But five minutes later Cookie
will have that athlete alone
ON the field. demonstrating the
technique Of getting o lead of
first base. showing him the
proper pivot. supplying words
of encouragement. He might
not like him as an athlete, but
he doesn't abandon him.

Jay Porter has failed with

possibilities.

Cookie will yell at Jay. That's
better. Now you got 1t. buddy
boy. Stick with it. work on it,"
He needs to feel he belongs, Is
Cookie will tell a reporter later.
Hes been sitting on the bench
for so long that maybe he's
become subconsciously satisfied
with that sort Of life. I've got
to wake him up. We need some
spark from him. He could help
us"

i have a unique bond Of experience and of past association.
with you which, earnestly hope, I may be able. to assist
in translating into an era Of goodwill and Of cooperation
between our respective branches OF government for the
greatest benefit Of the people Of the Virgin Islands.
In my inaugural address, just six and one half months
ago, ! stated that there were four outstanding and specific
undertakings which required our immediate and special
attention, namely:
An adequate supply Of potable water for
ST. Thomas
3. Airport and harbor improvements
8. "A modern communication system
A. Better and more adequate housing for the
lower and middle income groups especially.
Naturally, it is too short a time to be able to report
substantial achievements on any one of these fundamental
problems-problems which are closely related to the So
cfal as well as to the economic growth Of our islands. Yet,
believe I can report some progress.
We have had an exceptionally dry season as far as
rainfall is concerned, At the same time our hotels and our
guest houses have been filed with guests. We have been
obliged to rely upon the Short-range solution Of hauling
and storing a supply Of potable water brought il from
Puerto Rico both by government tug and barge and by the
use of rented equipment The appropriation OF $4,000.
originally made for this purpose is exhausted. I am pre-
senting to you a bill to appropriate an additional sum Of
$4,000 to keep the water haul going through the end of
the fiscal year. AS the sale OF this water yields only about
$4,000 we should consider the possibilitysof increasing
the charge which we make for potable water so that rev
enues from the system would more nearly equal the ex-
penses Of the haul and Of distribution.
But the water haul IS a makeshift, not a permanent
solution. Continued economic progress OF st. Thomas must
be dependent on a permanent remedy / am happy to be
able to report some progress toward the goal Of providing
an a dequate supply Of fresh Water for the island Of st.
Thomas. With the authority of the Legislature, the Gov
eminent Of the Virgin Islands has executed q contract
with the Virgin Islands Corporation for the purchase of
potable water from a d~istillation plant which Congress has
already authorized. Present plans are fol-. the installation

which are chalking up its
record now; its gains are
smaller than the country's in

Even a well-traveled Amer
lean visiting Kansas City for
the first time finds most of his
preconceived notions about the
region were wrong. The very
name of Kansas City brings up
a vision Of a prairie-type COM
munity, mountainous piles of
wheat, an economy overwhelm-

To an extent, the notion is
correct, Of course. The roots Of
the Kansas City diStrict-cov-

What happens to wheat, cat
tie, the demand for food in the
nation, is vital to what hap
pens to jibs and incomes in the
district.
And a fundamental reason
for Kansas City's relative pros
perity during the 1888 re-

in farm incomes due to a CON-
bination of superb weather,
government support programs
and Americas record consump-

In this heart Of the Great
