Minor League Mortality
Reaches Serious Stage
New York, July 21 W
Blame It on television, raaio,
bid weather or Just plain poc-
ketbook retrenchment. The
fact Is the mortality rate in
minor league baseball Is reach'
tag serious proportions.
Hard on the heels of the com
plete collapse Sunday of the
class B Colonial league In Con
necticut and New York come
scattered reports telling of
teams quitting or about to give
tin because of poor attendance.
. Some clubs have folded out
right. Others have either been
taken over by determined
townspeople or by the leagues
themselves.
The Middle Atlantic and East
Texas leagues, both class C, lost
members yesterday to Join a
list of flops that bring a new
meaning to mid-summer slumps.
Vandergrift, Pa., a member
of the Middle Atlantic four
years, gave up the ghost last
Hot Globetrotter
Team Booked for
Waters Park Play
In Paul Hardy, the crack
Harlem Globetrotters baseball
team, which comes to George
Waters field Monday night at
8:13, not only has one of the
finest catchers in the business,
but likewise the most success
ful managers. Last month he led
his club to a clean sweep of a
three team tournament at Bran
don, Manitoba.
i On the road for the fifth suc
cessive season, the Globetrotters
will face the Brooklyn Cuban
Giants Monday night. Going Into
the present campaign, the 'Trot
ters captured 367 games while
losing only 103 in four seasons.
- Last year they won 100 while
dropping 19.
i The record is attributed to the
leadership of the peppery Hardy,
who, well liked by his players,
has them hustling and bearing
down to win every game. The
manager formerly starred with
the Birmingham Black Barons
and the Chicago American
Giants.
' The showmanship motif of the
Globetrotters' activities is car
ried out by Ed Hamman who en
tertains before and during the
game from the sidelines and the
stands.

Scot Refutes Idaho
Trout Record With
392 Pounder Story
Salen, Archaracle, Argyll
shire Scotland, July 21 U.R
Fishermen in Lake Fend
Oreille, Idaho, U.S.A., will
have to keep trying for a
world record trout,
ord trout.
The 36-pounder taken from
Lake Fend Oreille in 1947
was three and one-half pounds
short of a world record catch
made near here 81 years ago,
according to a loyal Scottish
nlmrod who cited the records
to back up his claim.
"I have retd," said J. L.
"I have read," said J. L.
Campbell, "of some Incredible
trout fishing In an American
lake which produced In one
season 200 trout of over 22
pounds weight. One of these
trout, a 36-pounder, had ap
parently been accepted as the
world record.
"I do not know If this state
ment has been accepted with
out comment, but I would like
to refute this claim on behalf
of Scotland," Campbell said.
"In 1866, Mr. A. C. Muir
established a so-far unbroken
world record for trout in Loch
Awe, Argyllshire, with a fish
weighing 3914 pounds. This
fish is officially recorded and
is mentioned in Dr. Jenkins'
Fishes of the British Isles,
and in other publications.
"I am passing this informa
tion on to America ... It will
spur them on to greater ef
forts, and I expect they will
set up a world record but
they cannot afford to take It
easy yet."

Dry Tanks Fail to
Half Airlie Blaze
Dallas Fire destroyed the
home of Sam Doughty in the
Airlie district last night despite
the efforts of three districts' fire
crews.
The blaze was reported short
ly before 6 p.m. and the Mon
mouth and Falls City rural fire
protection tank trucks rushed
to the scene. Firemen had almost
extinguished the flames when
the water supply became ex
hausted and the home continued
to burn.
Dallas fire department units,
called later, did not arrive in
time to take up the fight and the
home burned to the ground by
6:30.
Starting from an undeter
mined source, the fire did not
move fast enough in early stages
to hinder salvage work and
friends and neighbors managed
to save almost all furniture and
belongings in the house.

No Serious Scarcities but

New York. July 21 W) There's little danger of serious scar

Problem Rocket
To Get New Test
Banana River, Fla., July 21
(U.R) Air Force experts said to
day they would attempt again
next week to launch a reluctant
rocket which never got off the
ground in nine trying hours
Wednesday.
Just about everything that
could go wrong with the first ex
periment in low-angled firing of
a guided missile did.
When they finally got around
to pulling the firing switch on
the giant device a weapon that
in some future day may wipe out
an entire city it produced only
popping noise, hardly worthy
of a champagne cork.
The main fuel valve was
stuck.
Military and civilian scientists
working at the air force long
range proving ground will re
move the delicate Instruments
and, if they weren't too badly
damaged by the misfire, reas
semble them for another test
Monday. Just in case, another
rocket was being readied fqr
tiring July 28.
