MAN OF CONFLICT
Daring Dramatic— True to Life
Travel Thru Belgium — News
“IMy kind of a ball club!” I
Where have we heard that song
before? Coraid the words be an ;
echo from the Polo Grounds? j
It does seam that a fellow naan
ed Leo Durocher used the
phrase as a battle cry when he
took over as manager of the.
New York Giants in 1948.
He hadn’t liked what he saw,
which was a collection of
heavy-footed athletes of wide
ly-varying ages who could hit
home runs on the slightest pro
vocation, but who somehow
managed to lose ball games in
alarming numbers.
It wasn’t “IMy kind of a ball
club,” Durocher said in his us
ual dulcet voice, and he pro
i ceeded to do something about
iit without tarrying. The heav
ier-footed of the heavy-footed
i players were shipped away
I willy-nilly, deals brought in
fleet, scrappy men who didn’t
need a home run behind them
to push them arocnd the bases.
Pitchers arrived who could
start and still be around for
the seventh inning stretch.
It took just three years, and
Durocher had “My kind of a
ball club,” good enough to win
a pennant, and to repeat three
years later. Something hap
pened this year. “My kind of
a ball club” somehow unac
countably became nobody’s
kind of b'all club.
Figuring that “My kind of
ball club” is a club that can
win a pennant, Dressen was be
quethed one w'hen he took
over as manager of the Brook
lyn Dodgers in 1951. The Bums
didn’t win that year, but they
came within one pitch of it in
the playoff, and went on to win
tor Charley in 1952 and 1953.
When you come right down
to it, the manager Who can win
when he doesn’t have his kind
of a ball club is the manager
who is doing ’the job. Any man
ager should win with the equip
menlt he wants, unless his idea
of what it takes to win is all
wet.
. Every manager has a gen
eral idea of tihe klind of team he
wants. He wants plenty oif po
wer. He wanl.s speed on the
bases, fleet fielders and base
runners, a top-f'light catcher,
and a collection of A-l pitchers
Particularly a collection of
A-l pitchers. That’s the payoff,
and Dressen probably could
have won with what he had
this year if he could have had
his choice of pitchers from oth
i er cluibs.
I A team may be young, swift
! and eager, having all the qual
ifications Charley has set down,
but if it doesn’t have pitching
it will be lucky to finish before
, Christmas.
It’s true cert ain managers
favor certain styles of play.
Bill McKechnie won a couple
of pennants at Cincinnati with
a team which other managers
might not consider ideal. He
specialized in good pitching
and a tight defense, making one
run do the work of a half doz
en. But for him it wtas satis

USE YOUR AUTOMATIC WASHER FOR TINTING
General Electric Consumers Institute
In the spring a young man’s
fancy turns to love” should be
matched by "In the spring the home
maker’s thoughts turn to ways of
making the home more lovely.”
She looks the situation over and
paints a mental picture of how she
could make the home more attrac
tive. Too often these pictures fade
because she feels too much money
would be necessary. However, that
is not always the case. For instance,
it is possible to change the colors
of slipcovers, curtains, bedspreads,
blouses and spend a bare minimum
doing it.
Let your automatic washer help
you brighten your home. Tint those
faded or dull looking pieces and
give your home furnishings and
wardrobe a new look.
Here are some helpful hints that
will assist you when tinting in the
automatic washer.
1. Always weigh the dry fabric to
determine how much dyestuff
to use. Directions on the pack
age give quantity according to
the weight of dry fabric. The
more absorbent the fabric and
the deeper the shade desired,
the more dyestuff will be
needed.
2. He sure to remove all spots and i
stains from the material; then I
wash and rinse thoroughly be- •
fore dyeing.
3. fabric should be wet when put !
into d}''e bath.
4. Carefully dissolve the dyestuff
in a small porcelain pan of hot
water. Heat to a simmering
point but do not boil. Stir until
dyestuff is dissolved. Strain
through several thicknesses of
cheesecloth.
5. Don't overload the Washer. If
fabric is crowded, the dye
doesn't spread evenly; streaks
and spots will result
6. Allow the washer to fill with
hot water and add the dissolved
dyestuff.
7. After activation has begun, add
the wet fabrics to be dyed.
8. Set the wash time 12 minutee
for cottons or linens; 3.5 min
utes for rayons and silks.
9. So that you can peek without
getting splashed with dyestuff,
cover lid opening with a sheet
of pliofilm or cellophane and
scotch tape in place if you wish.
10. Rtnse at least twice (or until
rinse water is clear).
"• Re"i°ve fabrics and clean
washer thoroughly
To dean washer after tinting:
1. Allow wash basket to fill with
not water.
2' 5eL7sh *™e for 5 minutes.
3. Add 1 cup bleach and i/2 cup of
soap or synthetic detergent into
the wash basket.
4. Allow the washer to complete
& normal cycle.
