They were created by James McCormick, a part-time sign painter from St. Albans, Queens. The artist's open air studio is far from conventional; horns blow and traffic hurries by as he brushes in a hand on City In The Heavens the last character of his mural, which is painted on a plywood canvas. "I started this part of Tuesday," he says, stepping back to look at the entire painting while checking the detail o~ the·finat'flgufe. . The mural of brown silhouettes upon a cream background depicts office '~" ' ''- workers scurrying east 'and west .on --·, ~ •. :rJ:\QmS(;>n Avenue. Mr McCormick said that theblrndlng's engineers decided on that theme because the factory building is being converted into office space. "This is one of the biggest jobs I've ever had," he says, noting that he also did the art work and lettering on the large sign announcing the building's conversion. Sign painting, a part-time profession for Mr. McCormick, can only be performed week-ends and eve­ nings. "I don't have time to do these signs!" he says, shrugging his shoul­ ders and adding that he leaves all his works unsigned since he wouldn't be able to do the additional work he would be offered. When Mr. McCormick is not dabbing in his part-time profession, he is labor­ ing at his regular full-time job for the New York City Transit Authority. In about four years he will be abl~ to retire and then will dedicate all of his time to painting. The artist who has "never had any classes (in art) ," would like to spend some of his retirement time in school. "There's a lot I gotta learn - as far as art's concerned," he notes, looking for­ ward to the formaltraining. He will also be able to spend time on other forms of art he enjoys, conventional oils on con­ ventional canvas. Graffiti, the bane of all exposed sur­ faces in New York City, will eventually obliterate Mr. McCormick's work. Dis­ cussing the subject, the artist put his hand to his stomach and said, "I feel upset inside. I noticed someone came along and did this," he points to a pencil mark across the character he is paint­ N ing.

Steinbrenner struck with his first trade a week before the Yankees broke spring camp. He traded pitching prospect Gene Nelson to Seattle for re­ liever Shane Rawley. At that time, the Yankees had no need for relief help, whatsoever. The acquisition of Rawley created a crowd in the bullpen while opening up a vacancy in the starting ro­ tation. Steinbrenner was then forced to find a right-handed starting pitcher to fill the gap. He chose out of shape Doyle Alexander, who was sitting out a contract dispute with San Francisco. In his third appearance after finally joining the team up north, Alexander broke his right hand punching the clubhouse wall.
