Pro-Grid Draft
Includes Stars 0
Of Service Teams
NEW YORK, April 7 (UP) A
new policy by National League
professional football teams in
their annual player draft was
evident today because of the in
clusion in the selection for the
first time of slars Irom the army
and navy military academies.
Jack Green, captain and guard
on Army's 1045 team, George
Barney Poole, a dependable
cadet end, and Bob Jenkins, bone
crushing backfield star from
Navy, were included in the 330
players named yesterday in the
long involved selection bee.
Green, a brilliant football tac
tician, A-as selected by the Chi
cago Bears, Poole by the New
York Giants and Jankins by the
Washington Redskins.
Selection of the academy play
ers was unusual for several rea
sons. Each of the three has from
one to three seasons left to paly.
Each is outstanding not only as
an athlete but in his academy-
career and none of the three is
likely to leave military service to
take over in the professional
gridiron realm.
In normal times, the pro clubs
made it an unwritten rule not to
draft players from the service
schools because the odds were
long against the players being of
any use to them.

The "Binder Twine Kid" is doing
his spring planting now among
the hills somewhere around Clin

of his hill-billy season.
He will continue in that role
until August when he will com ?
Hown out of those hills to go to
the training camp of the Green

in a football suit or in the store

In the fall months he's "Don Jut

it wasn't for pro-football there
probably wouldn't be any Craig

known as a workmanlike player !
one of the best in the league 1
hut you don't hear much about
him because he lacks what they
call color in the sport. But that
color isn't lacking to anyone who
knows Larry very well.
As soon s he leaves those
mountains every fall he goes back
to wearing shoos suits, shirts and
ties and you won't find many -aigumenls
among the pro-football
players if you call him the best
looking guy in the bunch and
one of the best dress-urs. And l

Beavers Tighten Hold
On Top of Ladder
By United Press
The Portland Beavers increased their Pacific Coast league leader- j
ship to two games yesterday. They scored their seventh win in
eight starts last night by defeating the Sacramento Solons 11-6.
The San Francisco Seals lost their third game to the San Diego
Padres by a score of 2-0 as their northern rivals, the Oakland Oaks,
chalked up their third straight victory over the Hollywood Stars
by a 9-7 score. The Seattle Rainiers snapped off a four-game Los
Angeles winning streak by taking an afternoon game 8-5.
Seventh is Fatal
The win over the Solons gave
the Beavers their third of the
reries. The Beavers cinched the
game when they scored seven
runs in the fifth, climaxed by
Frank Shone's homer with two
aboard. Jess Landrum featured
the Solons' batting with a double
and a single in three trips to
the plate. Clarence Fc-dcrmeyer
was credited with the win.
Padres Take Seals
Del Ballinger set the Padres
up for their victory over the
f ?als when he singled to right
field in the last of the eighth.
A few moments later. Vein Reyn
olds singled to center with Val
lie Eaves following up with a
two bagger to left field which
brought in the winning talii-.'S.
Errors Beat Stars
Four Hollywood errors and 14
Oakland bingles helped the Oaks
win the ball game. Newt Kim
ball, who started on the mound
for the Twinks. was belted out
of the box in the seventh. Man
aged Dolph Camilli got credit
for the victory though he was
leiieved in the sixth. fiob Can-
i tell hit
four singles for the Stars.
Ted Norbert. Rainier outfieleVr
who played last year for the An
i;t Is. cinched the Suds' victory
in the sixth whi n he banned out
his fourth home ran of the sea
son to bring in two tallies. The
Angels had their biggest inning
in the first when they scored
twice on a walk and three hits.
Lou Xovikoff led the batting for
the southerners with thiee hits

Everyone in the dairy farmer's lamuy is pucmng m
Ih. nation with more fluid milk than ever has bee.i produced
before. Less milk will be churned i.ito butter tins year because
of price differentials.
By S. B41RT0N HEATH and
DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondents
WASHINGTON The princi
pal reason why you can not buy
butter, except at the cost of
more ration points than you can
afford, is because the farmer can
get about twice as much for fluid
milk as for the butter it will
make. Naturally he sells the milk
in fluid form.
In spite of demands bv the
armed forces for milk and milk
products, there probably will be
more fluid milk for civilians this
vear than ever before. If some
of this were to be made into but
ter, we still could get by very
well for milk. But that would
cost the producer a price that no
businessman could afford to pay.
Top grade fluid milk in the
New York area brings about
4.50 a hundred pounds. The
same milk, made into butler,
would yield approximately S2 at
current prices. The exact fig
ures may differ in other areas
and at various times, but the
spread will be about the same.
Naturally, milk is plentiful but
butter is scarce.
More Milk Than Ever
The bureau of aericuKural eco
nomics predicts that there will
be, this year. 101 per cent as
much fluid milk as last year. 105
per cent as much condensed and
evaporated milk, 1U2 per cent as
much cheese but only 89 per
cent as much butter.
If your grocer's refrigerator,
for the moment, is bulging with
butter, and your self-service mar
ket has an "as much as you
want" sign on its butter display,
that is not because the spread i
actuallv plentiful. It is because
the high ration point value.
chargeable against meat tokens,
has discouraged buving and has
driven manv families to oleomar-
enrine or entirely out of the mar-
KCl.
The Diospects for margarine
look rather good. Government
rtatisticians foresee 109 ner cent
as much oleo available this year
as last. How much you will get
is. of course, another auestion.
with new thousands turnine to
marcanne because they can buy
it for only eight points whereas
at thir writing, butter requires
24 points.
Taken, altogether, the food
sources of bodily heat and ener
gy are far from promising. Pork
is awav off 17 per cent under
last year. As a natural accom
paniment, laid is off 13 points.
Butter is i'wn 11 per cent. Mar
garine, u somewhat, can't ab
soib the slack. The feiod value
that you normally get freim fats
and fat meats, without thinking
about them, thus are sadly below
par for this year
Sugar is Scarcer
Sugar, of course, provlde-s both
bodilv heat and energy. But you
can't turn to sugar. It. too. is

this year than at any time since
World War I. The government
forecast is for only 88 per cent
as much sugar as we had last
year.
Last year we splurged on su
gar and used up about a quarter
of our reserve stocks. In this
manner we obtained i;n average
cf 88 pounds a person during this
year including ration point su
gar, canning allowances, and in-
direct consumption in the form
oi sweeienea ioous, eirnms, vie.
As a result we shall have to
get along this year with 78
pounds a person 10 pounds less.
Part of this will come out of
home canning allowances, which
will be smaller. Part wil come
out of the sugar bowls in restau
rants and institutions. Bakers,
canncrs and soft drink makers
may feel the pinch and we,
their customers, mav find their
products either scarcer or less
tasty.
You mav find public eating
places once mo)e discouraging
the second cup of coffee. That
probably will not have anything
to do with the supply of coffee,
but rather with the sugar used
in it.
Coffee itself is expected to re
main as plentiful as now you
.an buy all you want without
either rationing or finding deal
ers' shelves low. The only cloud
op the coffee horizon is the dis
pute between the OPA and cof-
lee- proeiuee-is wiie-ioe-i ee-iioit,j
prices should be lilted to allow
the producers a greater profit.
Inasmuch as the United States is
infinitely the best customer the
producing countries have or are
likely to find, it is assumed that
this dispute will be settled with
out anv stoppage of supplies to
us.
