There is nothing like it south of Ocean Drive In Newport, R. I., and Newport does ‘not have the wisteria, nor asales. For the most part these estates are owned by Yankees or Dam- yankees. There still is a subtle dif ference. In illustration: Leon Scblosburg, the inn keeper, #as asked about the quail hunting pos sibilities in the Camden area. “There is none,” be said, 'the birds are plenty bat the Damydnkees have posted all of the land.

The hitch was that the clamping of IS pairs of leather heels along the ancient cor ridors made for noises which were displeasing to the ogier gneats who. had come for a rest. The boss lady of Court Inn sug gested that ail hall players he equipped with rubbers to ease the situation. The Chiefs found it more practical to move to the Hotel Bars- field where Leon-Wants-to-See-Tou Schlosburg greeted them with open arms. The Hotel Sarsfleld was then in a state of renovation. The 1947 Chiefs had it pretty good, but not like now. There was not so much as a dining room then. There is now, complete with a menu and prices like you would find in a big* city. The ball players do not have to scan the prices. They run their forefingers down the list until they find steak or roast beef and sign their names,to the checks..It is as simple as' that. No other bush leaguers have had it so good. And the food, like .the wisteria is won derful, except**for the coffee. But then, the coffee is bad throughout the Sottfti, inclttding New Orleand.
