Many Farm Homes Need Remodeling Over 50 Per Cent fire At Least 30 Years Old Most American homes and farm homes in particular were erected more than a quarter of a century ago. Nearly 23,000,000 of the estimated 42,000,000 homes in the nation are at least 30 years old. Millions of these older homes are in need of modernization and repair.

Reloading Reloading your own shells can be a fascinating hobby, as well as a means of saving money. For the man who wants to shoot lots of rounds through a heavy caliber rifle, it is almost a must. A shell which sells for 27 cents apiece over the counter, can be reloaded for 5 to 7 cents, doing the work your-self. Besides the obvious argument of economy, handloading offers other advantages. If you want to use your .30-0- 6 for shooting gophers and prairie dogs, you can work up a minimum load which will give satis-factory performance on the small target, without sacrificing perform-ance. Factory shells limit the hunt-er as to his choice of powder load-ing and bullet weight, but almost Infinite combinations are available to the reload fan. For the target snthusiast who desires pin point accuracy, bullets are available for landloading that are much superior io anything loaded commercially. With national defense requirements Licreasing the load on the factory loaders, it may soon be hard to get shells, as it was in the war years. Save your empties and load them yourself, and you'll always have i nmunition to burn. Naturally, a man must know what le is doing when he starts working vith gunpowder. Loading by guess and by gosh can result in dangerous :ombinations which may ruin an expensive gun, or even cause the ;oss of an eye. The "Ideal Hand Book," put out by the Lyman Gun-sig- Corporation, of Middlefield, Connecticut, should be the first pur-:ha-for any new handloader. It will serve as a guide to safe and fficient handloading in all calibers. AAA SPORTLIGHT . Baseball, 1951, Hard on Pitchers By GRANTLAND RICE w V JTJoiKAjN pitcher was talk-ta- g about the troubles, trials, tribulations and woes that attack modern pitchers. "In the old days," he said, "up to 1920, pitchers were throwing a comparatively dead ball. Frank Baker earned his nickname of Home-ru- n Baker with nine home runs one season. Gil Hodges of the Dodgers already had nine this sea-son before the first month was over. "Today, a flock of ballplayers hit frorn 20 to 50 home runs a year. So I...v ; the pitcher can't af-ford to give good hitters a g ball. They must work for the corn-ers, high and low. Also, there are too many short fences or walls where a pop fly is good for a home run. doesn't quite work out that way. With the big purses thrown onto the scene, the art or science or luck of breeding has brought an in-vestment angle to the turf that is sound enough for many breeders to follow with a smile. For example, you can take the breeding farms of George Widener's Elmendorf Farm and Dale Shaffer's Coldstream Stud at Lexington, Ky. An excited statistician has fig-ured it out that In recent years these two breeding centers have sold 374 yearlings. These horses won a total of $5,788,066, an average of $15,476 each. Their aggregate selling price, we are Informed, was $3,582,860, an average of $9,579 each. This is an average of some $5,000 per horse profit for the buyer, which in bulk is a handsome dividend and encourages future sales. For many years Calumet, through purses and sales, passed a $1,000,000 or more rate each year. We have an idea that no one stable will reach, or come close to reaching, the million dollar mark in 1951. Owner Jack Amiel has already lifted nearly $100,000 from the Derby. Great Rush won close to $150,000 in the Maturity Stakes, but this stable won't win very much more. Certainly, Mr. Amiel has no vision of a big clean-up- . Jimmy Jones finally got another win out of Coaltown, but Citation blew another start. You feel almost the same way about Citation as you do about Joe Louis. You remember great years and then to see these two brilliant floundering. Both at their peaks were raed with the best in the game. Now both have lost stature and prestige by their closing efforts to handle time. No one can handle time except the sun. Even clocks and calendars wear out, Natural Hitter "Just what is a natural hitter?" I once asked Johnny Mize. "I guess you just like to swing a bat," he said. "I know I always did. I learned to follow the ball with my eyes all the way." Johnny Mize was never a fast or an active man. He had a bad knee when he came to the Cardinals, was sent to the Reds, and came back to the Cardinals. He was supposed to be through with baseball back in 1935. That was 16 years ago. But here's the Demorest De-mon back under the Big Tent in 1951, swinging one of the most dan-gerous bats in the game. The chances are that an odd col-lection known as Mantle, Morgan and Mize will have quite a bit to say about the Yankees continued suc-cess this season. laere s a Grjntland Rice matter that works against modern pitching. In the old days most of the good pitchers com-pleted most of their games. They were allowed to give up a few hits, bases on balls and runs. But today it's different. After a hit and a base on balls the bull pen gets busy. At least two relief pitchers are hard at work. Somebody comes from the bench to talk it over with the pitch-er. The pitcher knows, that one more hit or one more pass means his day's work is over. "I know what that feeling Is. You begin tightening up. You start steering the ball, or try-ing to steer it. Anyway, all your confidence is gone. How many times this season have you seen one team use from four to six pitchers? It happens a lot. You're in a rough spot when you know you can't afford to make one more mistake. Alex-ander, Mathewson, Johnson, Young, etc., never had to face situations like that." It might be whispered, however, that Alexander, Matty, etc., had a much clearer idea of where the plate is located than most of the modern bunch. Alexander rarely gave anybody a good ball to hit. The same was true of Mathewson, until Matty got well ahead. Knowing he had to work in 40 or more games he always saved his arm when he had a good lead. "Now the outfielders can get in the game," he'd tell you. For example, in 1908, Ed Walsh worked in 66 games, winning 40 and saving 10 others. Matty worked in well over 50 games, winning 37 and saving eight or ten others. When he pitched that play-of- f game in 1908 against the Cubs, he could just about lift his arm.

The turning vanes, which are visible at the farthest end of the wind tunnel, are powered by two 30,000 horse power motors. Sensational! That's the only word that ac-curately describes the effective-ness of Eddie Pope's "Hot-Shot-lure shown above.

But building is more a question of "when" than "if", according to a recent survey of 12 north central states. Approximately nine hundred families took part in the survey. They were selected to give a cross-sectio- n of the wants and desires of 2,270,000 farm families living in Ill-inois, Indiana, Kansas, Iowa, Mich-igan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ne-braska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. A y house with six or seven rooms, a sloping roof and central heating was first choice. The house must have one or more porches, a spare bedroom, a base-ment or cellar, coat closet on the first floor, a separate dining room, first floor workroom, and a drive so planned in relation to the house that callers will come to the front door. v Most families wanted to have a dining area in the kitchen, but many of them wanted an additional dining room which could accom-modate six or more persons. .

AAA Record Antelopes Wyoming is .planning a record antelope season for next Septem-ber and October. The largest number of pronghorn permits ever authorized by the Wyoming game and fish commis-sion 45,800 has been set up for 16 hunting areas. For the northeast-sr- n area alone, 30,000 permits will be on sale to resident and sportsmen alike and will be Issued as requests are received, without reservation. Season for the northeast area will be from Septem-ber 2 through October 14. Regulations for 1951 provide that anyone entitled to receive a resident or antelope permit may buy a permit and make his kill in the area specified by his permits and may also buy a second permit for the northeast area to bag an additional animal. Hunters may, of course, buy two permits for the Northeast Area and take their two antelope there. . This northeast area is more than 13,000 square miles in extent, in-cluding all of Campbell county and parts of Johnson, Natrona, Con-verse, Weston, and Crook counties, it is easily reached by car, train, or plane, and visitors will find good accommodations in nearby commu-nities. Wyoming game laws do not require that antelope hunters be accompanied by a li-censed guide. The coming season will find more pronghorn hunters in the field than ever before in Wyoming's history. Their targets will be the survivors of the millions of antelope that lived on the plains of Kansas, Colo-rado, Wyoming, Montana, and the Dakotas during the late 19th cen-tury. These herds have made a great comeback in Wyoming truly the "home of the pronghorn." j y ,. " , " j I- -1 w , ; mmsMmmrmmm mmmm !; i I fe-.-::- 'im:m.mm- t4 NATION'S HIGHEST AWARD . . .
