( t BIX MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE THIRD IT BOUT BETWEEN KATONEN 1RELLTT0NIGHT Lipscomb Faces Parks In Middle Go Billy Konke Meets MewcomerO'Doudy Paavo Katonen and Tony Mo relli, currently engaged in the bitterest of bitter wrestling leuds, clash for the third straight week in the armory to night bsfore another expected sellout crowd. The three-match program begins at 8:30. The battle will be the decld ing one in their short series, each holding one victory over the other. Last week Morelll picked up the marbles when the referee stopped the bout because of a bad cut over Katonen's right eye. Two weeks ago Kato nen captured the laurels on reversed decision, after having been knocked stiff by a pop bot tle in the Morelll paw. Brawl Expected Like their first two struggles, tonight's tiff will almost certain ly develop into a pure and sim pie slugging affair. Katonen, the coast light-heavyweight cham pion, says his eye has healed in fine .style and that he is pre pared to give Morelll the beating of his life. He seemed to be doing that very thing last Thursday, before the match was stopped. He had hammered the big, tough Italian all over the ring and was far ahead on 'points." But, Morelll got in a lucky punch that tore open Paavo's eyebrow, and thus turned almost certain defeat into an undeserved victory. The left-handed Katonen, whose grappling losses are few and far between, wants to score a clean-cut, ln-the-ring decision over his most hated enemy more than he ever has wanted to win from anybody before. He's the coast champ, and while his belt was not at stake his pride was hurt no end over last week's loss. Tony To Be Rough Morolli is expected to put up one 3f his typical, savage fights. He knows he can't outwrestle Katonen, that his only hope is to outrough him and create some freakish situation in his favor. Herb Parks, the Canadian light heavyweight champion, meets Jack Lipscomb in the four round center match, while Billy Konke, also of Canada, faces rough Rowdy O'Doudy in the three-round opener.' The main event will be for one hour or the best two out of three falls. ficserve ilmdatf Wklikar M FrMf ''! ral C redact! Nivlral lrH) 1a Undoona Dlidllarf Mara da Ud. ailafcaBBBBBaBBBBaaBB!

Contributing approximately $160,000 to war relief charities a total of 120,493 fans, probably the largest number ever to see major league games in one night, jammed the parks last night. Biggest turnout was in base- ball-whacky Chicago where 30,- 879 fans saw the sixth place White Sox win their first night contest in 40 days from the seventh place Washington Sen ators. 4 to 3. The St. Louis Browns, in spired by the biggest night crowd ever to see them play at horn 24,631 fans defetted the Phila delphia Athletics 4 to 2. An es timated $35,000 was raised. Atley Donald of the New York Yankees performed in his usual manner against the Cleve land Indians, beating them 6 to 3 for his 12th victory over them In 13 starts since coming Into the league. A crowd of 25,483 con tributed approximately $35,000. The Pittsburgh Pirates moved to second place in the National leaeue with a tarnished victory, 6 to 5, over the New York Giants, which Manager Mel Ott protested. He charged that Unv Dire Beans Reardon failed to al low Phil Welntraub a base when struck by a pitched ball. At Brooklyn, the Chicago Cubs won 4 to 1 over the last place Dodgers with 11,738 fans Davlnu Si3,4i7. Les rieming, winning his sixth game, allowed six hits.

Lean Fritz, whom Branch I Rickey of the gasping Brooklyn Dodgers tried to ride out of the major leagues en the waiver rail, added another bullet to the Interested C.I.O.'s ammunition as the Pirates regained second place in the. National league flag race with a 6-5 victory over the New York Giants. In Tenth Stason Although Ostermueller, now in his 10th season of major league play, was removed in the ninth inning, he earned the vic tory with which he was credited despite poor fielding support. Third Baseman Bob Elliott, for example, made three costly errors; and Buddy Kerrs home run In the eighth took a ques tionable bounce right over Jim Russell s head. Regardless of Manager Mel Ott's stormy but futile protest against the final out of Phil Welntraub, who claimed that the pitch had hit his foot Instead of the bat, Ostermueller was credited with his sixth Pitts burgh victory since joining the Corsairs in early June six vic tories that the tall-end Dodgers could have used like canteens of ice water for a parched and ex piring prospector in Death Val ley. President Rickey of the bomb-shelter Dodgers made use of the grotesque and toothless waiver clause to get rid of Ostermueller on June 1, just five weeks before Veteran Fritz was to have become a "ten-year-man" In the majors a distinc tion that would have prevented his being sent back to the min ors, except as a free agent who could make his own terms and demand his own bonus for sign ing with a minor club. Sent To Syracuse Ostermueller and Pitcher Bill Lohrman were waived out of the National league and sent to Syracuse by Rickey In exchange for Outfielder Rosen. Ostermuel ler refused to report at Syra cuse. Immediately, Frankle Frisch, shrewd pilot of the' Pi rates, negotiated with Leo Mil ler, shrewd general manager of the Syracuse club, who sold re bellious Ostermueller to the Pirates for a reported $18,500 Instead of the $7,300 waiver price. At that time, Rickey's attempt to railroad Ostermueller out of the majors Just five weeks be fore he became a 10-year man caused indignation among most players In organized ball. Oster mueller had the courage to tele phone Commissioner Landls, ex plaining his refusal to report to Syracuse. Landls, we understood backed him In his attitude. Meanwhile, the C.I.O., which has been Investigating possibili ties of unionizing ball players, became particularly Interested In the Ostermueller case. SCIENTIST DIES Niagara Falls, N.

Extension Service) Lumber Program Effective August 1 War Food Administration has approved a program covering distribution of farm lumber which will become effective August 1. Farmers needing lumber for essential purposes will apply to local AAA com mittees for purchase certificates bearing preference ratings of AA-2 and AA-3. Dealers can al so use these ratlnxs ' replen ish their stocks. Because the new i am Im poses tighter controls of lumber uses and distribution, the new ratines will nrovlde more assur ance of stock replacement 10 an dealers than did the former AA- 2X rating. Lumber allocated to agriculture for the July-September quarter Is 11 per cent of ex pected production for that pe riod, but only about half the amount normally used before the war. Future allotments are expected to be even lower due to short supplies. Rationing Lifted on 12 Farm Items When the 1945 farm machin ery rationing program went In to effect on July 20, a dozen Items went off the rationing list of farm equipment corn and cotton planters, row-type spray ers, grain and forage blowers, milking machines, field hay choppers and harvesters, wind mills, listers and listers with planting attachments. Farmers no longer need to secure pur chase certificates for these ma chines from the county farm machinery rationing committee. This reduction from 31 to 19 of the types of farm implements rationed was possible due to overall farm machinery produc tion at 1940 levels, a better-than-average year, and the fact that most of the needed war food production shifts have been made. It is in line with WFA's policy to remove any re strictions necessitated by war conditions just as soon as pos sible. Purchase certificates will be required In 1945 on all 19 of the rationed Items, but there will be no county quotas on grain drills, potato planters, po tato diggers, silo fillers, irriga tion pumps, power sprayers, garden tractors, deep and shal low well water systems, power pumps, and farm milk coolers. County quotas will be establish ed on combines, corn binders, WILLIhG IT VA5Tf5 970 GALLOMaS OF WAT-fR A DAY AND THUS 15 THf VMNCH corn pickers, manure spreaders, mowers, side delivery rakes, hay loaders, pick-up balers, and tractors. With the exception of power sprayers, garden trac tors, deep and shallow well water systems, power pumps and farm milk coolers, manu facturers will distribute only 80 of their authorized produc tion with WFA directing distri bution of the 20 reserve on the other 14 rationed items to take care of area needs that may develop. The entire dis tribution of the five items list ed as exceptions will be by manufacturers. R. G. FOWLER, County Agent. Spray Soon For Peach Brown Rot All peaches should be sprayed or dusted with sulfur soon to prevent the development of brown rot in the fruit. There was an excessive amount of twig killing from brown rot this spring and these dead twigs will serve as a source of disease to Infect the fruit this fall. After this spray, another spray or dust should be applied a week or ten days before pick ing starts. This pre-harvest spray is the most important one and with the outlook for good prices, it should by all means be applied. Use 6 pounds of wettable sul fur per 100 gallons of water and spray thoroughly. If a dust is preferred, It requires about pound of sulfur dust for an average mature peach tree. Plant Now For Fall Vegetables A final planting of a few vegetables can be made at this time. Turnips can be sown for another 10 days and a good crop produced for winter use. It is getting late for beets but if seeded at once they should mature. Mustard for winter greens can also be planted now. Coullflower broccoli plants set soon will produce nice white heads early next spring. The St. Valentine variety has given good results. C. B. CORDY, Assistant County Agent Keep Food Cool Until Serving Tim Keep picnic meats, eggs, sand wiches, salads and cooked des serts in the refrigerator until just before serving, the U. S. VAHR 5AY5 THI5 15 A L-fAKY TAUOf T TO FIX THt l-EAKY 7A0CT 8YV Depf. of Agriculture advises ew eryone. who is preparing food for outdoor and community meals this summer. Sandwiches of cooked ham, tongue, egg or mayonnaise, made up ahead of the meal, must be kept In a cold place to be safe for eating in hot -weather. The same is true of other moist foods, such as salads of chicken, egg, or potato, salad dressings, cream sauce, cream puffs, custard pie, custard-filled cake or other soft I moist cakes. i These foods frequently are 1 the cause of food poisoning in hot weather simply because many people do not realize the need of keeping them cold after cooking. When prepared in large quantity for serving a crowd, cooked food is too often left standing in a warm kitchen. Many people do not understand that the lightly cured, pre cooked, ready-to-serye ham now on the market must be kept refrigerated. A common kind of bacteria causing food poison ing when such foods are not kept cold does not show up in the taste or odor of food. VIRGINIA WAIT, Emergency Assistant, Home Demonstration Agent.
