Pennant Would Be A Cinch
It Dodgers Could Always
Play Giants At Ebbets Field
By TED MEIER
Associated Press Sports Writer,
The National League pennant
probably would be a cinch for
the Brooklyn Dodgers if they
could play the Giants at Ebbets
Field all the time.
Branch Rickey’s “ferocious
Gentlemen” peltea the Giants
last night for the sixth straight
time at the Brooklyn park. They
rallied to tie the score in the
ninth and won out, 2 to 1, in the
13th on Howie Schultz’ single
with the bases loaded.
. A crowd of 29,866 saw the
Daodgers tighten their grip on first
place. Dixie Walker singled home
Goody Rosen with the tying run
in the ninth and drew a base on
balls in the 13th to help set the
stage for Schultz. :
The Giants loaded the sacks
with one out. in the . top of the
13th, but muffed their chance
when Ernie Lombardi and Napo
leon Reyes popped out. The de
feat dropped the Ottmen to
fourth place.
The Detroit Tigers, American
league pace-setters, took it on the
chin for the third straight time
from the Chicago White Sox, 1 to
0. Bill Dietrich celebrated his re
turn to the mound, after an op
eration to his elbow, by outpitch
“ing Dizzy Trout.
A squeeze play bunt by Catch
er Mike Tresh won the game for
the Sox in the last of the ninth.
The ball rolled along the third
base line as pinch-runner Joe
Qrengo scampered home from
third to the delight of 16,868
Comiskey Park fans.
All the other major league
teams had an open date. ‘
CHANGE IN CAST
NEW YORK, June 19—(AF) --
The stars of the major league
hitting parade remain the samc
but the supporting cast is en
tirely different this week with
Tommy Holmes of Boston the
hero for the National league and
Tony Cuccinello of Chicago for
the American loop.
Holmes dropped a lone point
to .385, still the best aggregate
in the mejors. Cuccinellp skidded
two points to .347 for the best in
the American league.
% thitey Kurowski,K of the St
Louis Cards is the runnerup to
Holmes although his .357 average
is off a point from . that of a‘
week ago. Mel Ott of New York
dropped from second to third
when his average sank from .371
to .364.
. Nick Etten of the Yankees,
«gawAO points melt from his total ‘
‘but his remaining .328 was gocd
enough to keep Bobby Estallella|
of Philadelphia third with .321. |

TWO PRECEDENTS ALREADY BROKEN,
WOMENS' TOURNAMENT STARTS
| By JIM MITCHELL
~ INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 19.
—(AP)—With two precedents al
‘ready broken, the 16th annual
%Women's Western Open Golf
| Tournament today moved into the
‘first of five days of match play
leading to the crowning of a
champion on Saturday.
By the boards, as a result of
\yesterday’s 12-hour qualifying
"session, was the tradition that
the west never produces co-med
‘alists. Mrs. Mildred (Babe) Did
‘rickson Zaharias, the defending
champion and 1944 medal win
ner, and. Louise Suggs of Atlanta
took care of that by firing twin
75’s—one under par—as the sixth
twosome to tackle weater-soaked
Highland Golf and Country Club
course,
Also in the discard was the
western’s reputation for produc
ing upsets in the qualifying
round. Virtually all of the out
standing favorites were numbered
among the select 32 who fired the
91 or better necessary to enter
today’s initial round of match
play.
Mrs. Zaharias was out to beat
the odds against the defending
champion as she teed fiff against
Elizabeth Dunn of Indianapolis
this morning. The only defend
ing champion ever to retain the
crown was Mrs. Opal Hill, who
won in 1935 and 1936. Miss
Dunn, five times champion of In
diana, gualified with an 85.
Miss Suggs’' opponent at the
head of the dynamite-laden low
er bracket was Marge Row of
Anniston, Ala, who shot a con
sistent 86 yesterday. But the fea
ture match of the day shaped up
between Betty Hicks, the National
Amateur champion, who quali
fied with an 81, and Mrs. Law
rence Selz of Highland Park, Il
Mrs. Selz, who qualified at 88,
won the 1932 event as Miss Jane
Weiler. ! .
Bespectacled Sally Sessions of
Muskegon, Mich., third in the
qualifying with a 77, squared off
with Margaret Gunther of Mem
phis, Tenn., and Dorothy Germain
and Betty Jameson-—other red hot
favorites—were paired with Mrs.
Charles R. Harbaugh of Cleveland
and Marjorie Lindsay of Deca
tur, 111., respectively. Miss Ger
main had an 83 yesterday and
Miss Jameson fired a 79.
116 CANDIDATES
COLUMBUS, 0., dJune 19—
(AP)—The job of shaping a foot
ball team capable of defending
the western conference champ
ionship begins in earnest today
for Coach Carroll Widdoes of
Ohit State University. The Bucks
were unbeaten ang untied last
years.
“Wid” greeted 116 candidates
yesterday at the opening of the
six-week summer practice ses
sion.
One out of every eight tons of
stee] produced in 1942 was alloy
steel, ag comparedq to one out of
every 29 tons in 1918.
Bob Reid Confinues
Gracker Mainstay
"
With .333 Average
ATLANTA, June 19 —(AP)—
Bob Reid, Atlanta’s slugging
first baseman, is one of the main
reasons the Crackers continue to
stay nestled atop the Southen
Association . standings.
He’s hitting around .333 and
most of his blows are of the
timely variety, as evidenced by
the fact he hds driven in 47 runs
this season.
For inseance, he pounded out
two doubles over at Birmingham
last nightlas the Crackers whip
ped the Barons 12-3 in their se
ries opener.
Last night’s win while the rest
of the league was idle gave the
Crackers a half-game lead over
the Pels in their tight battle for
first place.
Larry Gilbert’s cellarite Nask:~
ville Volts got one good and one
bad break yesterday. They sign
ed Irving Stein, veteran right
hander who won 24 and lost six
with Portsmouth in the Piedmaont
league in 1943, but lost first
baseman Buck . Etchison, the
club’s leading home run hitter,
who suffered a fracture to a pre
viously injured finger when hit
by a pegged ball Sunday.
- 3he Chattanooga Lookouts
built up additional power for
their first place battle by ob
taining Vince Vertura, hard hit
ting former Lookout outfielder.
They also completed a deal with
Bullfalo for pitcher Bob Ga'ian
and catcher Mike Modarski.

Georgia Farmer Finds Simple Method
0f Irrigation Pays High Dividends
By HENRY LESESNE
METTER, Ga., June 19.—(AP)
—The good earth — red Georgia
earth—is thirsty for rain. For
days and weeks the sun has beat
down out of a cloudless sky.
For miles around the corn
fields are burnt, parched. There
won’t be much corn crop. Even
at night the wilt does not come
out of the drooping blades.
Tobacco is no better. It ,should
be flourishing, taking on breadth
and height. But the bushes are
stunned. They scarcely reach to
your knee,
Already they are blooming, or
“buttoning out” at the top, as the
growers say. They don’'t grow
much after the button out. The
leaves should be velvety and
green; but they are like the sun
baked wvegetation everywhere, |
This lis the picture in Can(ller{
county, where the townspeople at '
Metter and farmers from the sur
rounding countryside recentlyl
held a community-wide service to
pray for rain. And saw showers
fall the same day.
Thing of Beauty
But on the farm of John N. La
nier at Cobbtown, near here,
there are two acres of tobacco
that are a thing of beauty and a
source =of pride to their owner.
The stalks are higher than an av
erage man’s head.
Without doubt it is the best
field of tobacco anywhere around.
Even in a good tobacco year you
see very few fields like this one.
The secret is irrigation, La
nier’s tobacco field has not want
ed for water, while other fields
were being scorched, day after]
day. .
This is the first year that La
nier has tried irrigation. He be
gan thinking in the spring about
the way dry land is irrigated out
west. He wrote about over the
country, making inquiries.
There is a branch running
through his farm. He created an
artificial pond, which covers
about four acres. He bought a
small gasoline pump. He went
down to Savannah and picked up
some old hose cheap from a junk- |
yard.
A few weeks ago he began irri
gating the field, which is only
about 100 feet from the edge of |
the pond. The gasoline engine‘
pumps the water out into the|
field at the rate of 3,000 gallons
an hour. ’ :
On One Gallon
It takes about five hours to
irrigate the whole field. The hose
has to be moved frdm row toi
row. A complete irrigation con
sumes only a gallon of gasoline.!
Lanier wets the field about twice
a week,
. The plan has worked—although
Lanier admits it is not perfection.
The “slant” of the field is not ex
actly as it should be. But that
can be improved next year.
‘The operation is not extensive.
But the same thing could be ap
plied to more acreage. All that is
needed is moré hose, reaching a
longer distance.
" Lanier is unwilling to say just
how extensive the irrigation could
be. But he points out that the

same thing that he has done
could be done on farms similarly
situated.
He estimates that his tobacco
will bring a top price, at a profit
to him of several hundred dollars
an acre more than if he had not
'hit upon the idea of irrigating.
By HUGH FULLERTON, JR.
NEW YORK, June 19.—(AP)—
There’s a manpower shortage in
baseball that supposedly is felt
more in the minors than in® the
big leagues . . . Nevertheless
there are a few guys in the
bushes who are drawing plenty
of attention from scouts — and
they may not be ready to move
up before the ‘stars who have
gone to war are ready to come
back again ... Let’s look at a
few:
UNPOLISHED IVORY;
Ed Mierkowicz, Buffalp out
fielder, is rated by all hands (in
cluding the umpires, who know a
good ball player when they see
one) as the real “comer” in the
International League . .. He’s
just 21, tall and hits with power
.*. . Last May 30 he tied one lea-{
gue record when he made six long
hits — three homers, three dou
bles, in a doubleheader and he
just missed another when he
drove in eight runs . . . He’s Ti
gers’ property. . . . Fred Danne
ker, Minneapolis second baseman,
is another above .300 hitter. He’s
among the American Association
leaders, in double plays, two-base
hits @nd runs batted in . . . Fred
has stolen more bases himself
than msot: A: A. clubs. . . . Art
Fowler, 22-year-old Danville, Va.,
pitcher, recently won his ninth
straight game in the Carolina
League. Carl Hubbell has his
eyes on this youngster and if the
Giants’ pitching gets much worse
they- might even try art. . . . Bob
Wilson, Wilkes-Barre shortstop.
Pitcher Sam McLawhorn brought
him into camp for a trial lastl
spring: “He’s got flat feet but
he’s a whale of an infielder” . ...
Bob turned out to be a whale of
a hitter, too. ‘
SHORT AND SNAPPY:
William Tyree made his debut
as a rider of jumping horses at‘
the current Belmont Park meet
ing, which opened two weeks ago
. . . Last Saturday he asked
George Hyland, clerk of the
scales, if he. could get his check
. .. “What’s the matter?” asked
George. “You all through?” . . .
“Yep,” Tyree replied. “1 rode just
two horses and they both broke a
leg, so I'm going back to the farm
in Virginia”™ O i
