BAKER, Ore., Mar. 2 Scoring two

minute overtime periods, the Baker
M. I. A. basketball team of the L. D,
S. church Cefeaied the Union quin
tet by a score of 23 to 22 Friday
night fn Union to win the cham
pionship of Union stake in the final
game of the tournament.
The Baker team will be awarded
the championship cup at the stake
honor day program In La Grande.
The La Grande first ward won the
cup in 1020 and 1930, but lout per
manent pos&eftsion of it this year.
With the score standing at 21 to
20, Arton, Union forward, converted
a foul goal to tie the score In the
last few seconds of the game. Neither
team made a count In the first over
time period and three more minutes
was allowed. Tom Hunt made a field
goal for Baker and Wild, Union cen
ter, scored a foul shot, leaving the
count at 23 to 22.

land Alexander. Is '. still manager,
starting bis fifth term, but he has
launched a radical program of re
construction, designed to pull the
Brownies out of the rut.
This program's chief -feature is
KUlefer's attempt to introduce Into
major league company at least half,
and possibly three-fourths of the
"pony infield" that performed rec
ord-breaking defensive tricks for the
Wichita Falls club of the Texas
league last year. j
Trio l p for IHff Test
Plucked from scattered points, kept

trio up for the big test now are
Shortstop Jim Levy,- rangy Jewish
lad obtained from the Quantlco ma- :

Baseman Lin Storti, Italian product

Burns and Levy have performed
sensationally in the early workouts.
Storti has been drilling well at sec

the veteran Oscar Mellill, represent
ing with the regulars this week.
KrnvS to Plav Third
With Levy at short. Ktllefer plans
to shift the bard-hlttlng - Ralph
Kress to third base. If Burns makes
good at first, it will mean the pass
ing from active duty of Lu Blue, lor
years one of the league's best, first
sackers. The veterans, however, will
be kept so that two complete in
fields will be available.
The club needs more outfield
punch. The big gun is the veteran
Goose Goslin. who laid aside his golf
sticks this week for bis bats. Kille- :
fer expects the Goose to hit at least
&0 home runs, even with the new
ball In use. The Browns nave not
yet received the new ball for test
ing. Fred Schulte probably will hold
down centerfteid but be will have to
battle Earl McNeely. Perhaps the
best looking prospect for right field
is Larry Betiencourt, former St.
Mary's Ail-America u center, who
batted .320 and hit 43 homers with
Wichita Falls last season.

SUMMER VILLE, Ga. ) Seven and
a half bales of cotton on five acres
is a good yield any year, in Georgia.
But in 1930 it was considered strik
ingly unusual when it occurred in
the dry est part of the state and on l
an upland farm.
Billy Reynolds. Chattanooga county
farmer, reported such a yield to score
the highest record of 51 contestants I
in the Georgia five -sere cotton con-
test. His county agent. B. M. Drake, j
cf Summer ville. Is authority for the j
report. i
Reynolds says the crop of sweet '

before was partly responsible for the
good yield. , 1
