Johnny Vander Meer, mound ac for the Cincinnati Reds, is the rookie. Lefty Grove, mainstay ol the Boston Red Sox pitching staff the veteran. And the achieve- bis >| ment of each this season has made baseball history. Johnny, of course, is the young the unparalleled by hurling two consecutive no-hit, no- | run games against the Boston Bees and the Brooklyn Dod a fea never before duplicated and one which probably never will be in th leagues again.

No less remarkable is the record of Robert Moses Grove, another southpaw, who made his debut in big time baseball with Baltimore way back in 1920 and has been in there fooling the big leaguers since he was purchased by Philadelphia in 1925. Lefty Strikeout King Although he is now 38, Lefty is having one of his greatest seasons and is the leading pitcher in both major leagues. In winning 10 out of the first 11 games he pitched the old master proved that he was in rare form and far from the has- been some labeled him when Boston obtained him from Counie Mack. Most impressive thing about Grove’s pitching is his uncanny control, yet when he started in Lefty had as much it over the plate as Vander Meer is having today He depended on speed alone in those early days and it was feared That he would soon burn himself out, but Robert Moses still has | plenty on the ball and the smooth- the pitching, leagues today.

By whipping Pittsburgh the Reds lost their jinx. The Reds had lost 21 games straight in the Pitts- burgh Park and yesterday’s win was the first in the Pirate's Park since August, 1936 The Cubs took a licking at the hands of the St. Louis Cardinals and dropped lower, under the Reds. Cieveland increased their Ameri- can League lead over the idle Yan- kees as they won a decision over thc Detroit Tigers.

J oy s - S . Not only the regulations, but also the spirit of the FHA-Insured Loan Plan for Property Improvement, point the way to “More for Your Money" in home and other property repairs. FHA provisions limit interest charges on modernization loans up to $10,000 to the equivalent of: $5 discount per $100 original face value of a one-year note, payable in equal month- ly installments. This maximum charge is equivalent to a 9.72% interest return on the average amount cutstanding during the year. BUT — LOW INTEREST REGULATIONS OF THE ACT ARE NOT THE ONLY GAIN FOR THE BORROWER — The Federal Insurance backing every FHA Loan primes the flow of credit to the property-owner; makes it much easier for him to obtain his loan. The protection to the lend- ing institution makes the lender willing to make loans much more quickly and at lower charges than under any other condition. WHICH MEANS — More actual return in improvements on your home. APPLICATION FOR AN FHA LOAN IS MADE DIRECT TO AN AP- N PROVED LENDING INSTITUTION, of which there are several in this city. The money loaned is the lending institution’s. Therefore, whether or not the loan will be granted is decided by the institution, subject to certain requirements of the Federal Housing Administration. Granting of the loan direct cuts “red tape’ and speeds action to the extent where it is often possible for the borrower to see construction work com- menced on his property within approximately one week after apply- ing for his FHA Loan. FHA PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT LOANS may be secured for resi- dential or commercial property. They may be secured for moderniza- tion up to $10,000 and may be re-payed over periods up to 5 years; in monthly, semi-monthly or weekly payments. Any property owner or long-time leasee having an assured regular income and reasonable ability to repay, may secure an FHA Loan. Ask Your District FHA Agent, or Nearby Lending Institution. F.H. A.
