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.

The Pittsburgh Pirates moved

On Ostermueller Waiver Battle
By Jack Cuddy
United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, July 27. ttl.R) The case of Fritz Ostermueller
cause celebre of those who wish to unionize baseball players-
gained strength last night as the 36-year-old southpaw was cred
ited with his sixth victory with the Pirates, against two defeats.
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.

JACKSON COUNTY FARM NOTES
Compiled by County Office O. S. C. 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,

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.

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.
