Old Timers Struggle For Survival In Golf Tourney Dayton, O., July 12 (U.PJ Camera crews from the motion picture branch of the army air force at Wright field here are shooting color film of the P.G.A. golf tournament at the Moraine country club. Wright field officials an nounced today that the complet ed motion pictures would be shown at convalescent and re habilitation centers throughout the United States. Dayton, O., July 12 U.fc Forgotten champions and unfam iliar newcomers fought for sur vival today in the second round of the most celebrated of big league golf tournaments, the 27th National P.G.A. champion ship. Byron Nelson of Toledo, O., still rated the man to beat, and his old pal, Sammy Byrd of De troit, were about all that was left of the game's troupe of mod ern stylists who have dominated golf during the past two years. The rest of the field of 16, heading into the second day of 36-hole match play, was made up of champions of bygone days plus a sprinkling of budding stars. Hamilton Eliminated Among the brighter newcom ers was Jack Grout of Hinsdale, 111., whose accurate woods and Irons knocked Pvt. Bob Hamil ton of Ft. Lewis, Wash., the de fending champion, out of the 'running yesterday, S and 4. Leading the parade of old tim ers was Johnny Revolta of Evan ston, 111., who blasted Frank Kringle, Linden, N. J., out of the opening round, 10 and 9 there by saving wear and tear on his blistered hands, made sore byi extra practice rounds. Clarence Doser of Hartsdale, N. Y., who has often been close but never has won a major tour nament, was another unexpected threat. He upset Harold (Jug) McSpaden of Sanford, Me., 5 and 4, in the opening round to eliminate half of the McSpaden Nelson golf monopoly. Nelson, methodically shooting the same mechanical game which made him golfdom's greatest money winner, dropped a senti mental favorite out of the tour nament yesterday when he lick ed Gene Sarazen, 4 and 3. Denny Shute, Akron,, O., double-winner of the P.G.A. back in the '30's, kept his comeback alive by defeating Barney Clark of Englewood, Colo., 4 and 3. Pittsburgh, July 12 (U.PJ Jimmy Bivins of Cleveland, ranking civilian heavyweight, has been signed to box Curtis Sheppard of Philadelphia in a 10-round outdoor bout at Forbes Field on July 25.

Removal of this service is in compli ance with the order of the United States Office of Defense Transportation, elim inating all Pullman sleeping cars operat ing for a distance of 450 miles or less. oU The friendly Southern Pacific TO New York, July 12 flJ.PJ Broadway oddsmakcrs, closing their books on the pennant races because the teams are so closely bunched, conceded the Detroit Tigers and St. Louis Cardinals a bare margin as favorites today, but said they wouldn't take any wagers on either team. As the squads lined up for the start of the second half of the season, only two clubs, the Phila delphia Phillies and Athletics, seemed completely out of con tention. Several others are long shot possibilities, but at least six clubs in the National and five in the American definitely must be rated as contenders. Cards Now Third The Cards were favored de spite the fact that they are cur rently in third place, a game and a half behind the leading Cubs and. a half game behind the sec ond place Dodgers. The Dodgers were lightly rated by the books, who feel apparently that they were playing over their heads. Both of the Boston clubs were rated as likely first division oc cupants, although the Braves are In sixth place in the National and the Red Sox fifth in the American. Cubs at Home ' The Cards, who open a long home stand against the Giants tonight, are expected to put on one of their typical late season pennant drives. The Cubs, now working on a 10-game winning streak, begin their home stand fioainct the Braves, whom they recently trounced four times in a row at Boston. The Dodgers, who began to hit the skids near the end of their successful home stand, have t V anna in lffntir flffninst the im potent Reds at Cincinnati where twilinht. night double header. The Pirates, like wise shaken up after a roaa inp that almost wrecked their chances, begin a home stand against the faint Phillies. Yankees vs. Indians The Yankees and Senators have big opportunities to make their bids in the American. Tied for second, four and a half games behind the Tigers, they begin long home stays, ine xan kees entertaining the Indians, the Senators playing the bad traveling White Sox. The cham ninn nmuma whn failed to im prove their sixth place position at home, have a chance to get off to a winning stan on ineir trip by playing the Atmetics. rim Titfara mav run into diffi culties at Boston, since the Red Sox are a strong home ciud.

Monroe Johnson, director of the Office of Defense Transpor tation, it was regarded certain that the club owners or the league presidents would consult him while the meeting is in ses sion. The club owners also may be asked to curtail their regular travel for the rest of the season because of the unexpectedly heavy redeployment of troops from the European theater. TO HIT QUALITY OF New York, July 12 (U.PJ An Immediate effect on the quality of racing throughout the nation was predicted today as the new government regulations banning the transportation of horses by railroads or trucks went into ef fect. Although no tracks were ex pected to shut down, some have only a limited supply of horses on hand to fill their cards, and will not be able to get more with out the use of trucks or trains Most owners have access to pri vate vans or vehicles for ship ment of their thoroughbreds, but because of gasoline rationing will be able to use them only oc casionally. 21 At Acqueduct At Acqueduct, the New York metropolitan track now operat ing, only 21 of the 73 horses fof today s program were quartered at the track, indicating there would be a heavy slate of over night scratches, and a possible cancellation of several races. Stable space is limited at most major tracks throughout the na tion, necessitating the handling of many horses by truck almost daily. Officials of the New York Racing Association, meeting to discuss possible effects of the ban, said they would issue an official statement soon. It was expected that all the remaining racing dates for the New York season would be assigned to one track, probably Belmont, which is the largest and has the most stable space. Del Mar, Cal., July 12 U.R An Office of Defense transpor tation ban on shipping of racing and show horses will not affect the Del Mar Turf club's plans for its 40-day meet, which open ed yesterday, Manager W.

S. C. Extension Service Spider Mite Spreads During Hot Weather ' The continued warm weather has caused a rapid increase In the spider mite population. This increase, has occurred not only on Bosc and Anjou, but on all other varieties. The damage being caused at present on these other varieties is minor but in many cases some control will be necessary before harvest. If the Bosc and Anjous are sprayed and these other varieties left unsprayed, the inites may migrate from them back into the Bosc and Anjous.

Peach Brown Rot Control Poiiibla The rotting of ripe peaches by brown rot can be pretty well controlled by spraying or dust ing with sulfur. For a spray use six pounds of wettable sulfur in 100 gallons of water. Apply one spray or dust now and another one. 10 days or two weeks be fore harvest. This disease has become much worse in recent years and should not be neglected. Reports com ing back from the markets indi cate that the disease is causing us more trouble than we had thought. Rotten fruit is not only a loss but it depresses the market causing the good fruit to sell for less. C. B. CORDY, Assistant County Agent. 4H Club Slates Fat Lamb Show A spring show for fat lambs will be held by Jackson county 4H club members in 1946, ac cording to Earle Jossy, 4H club agent. In the opinion of the live stock committee of the 4H Lead ers Association, this move will be to the benefit of the exhibitor because the lamb market is usu ally better in the spring than in the fall. Also most of the lambs in this area are born in January, which causes considerable diffi culty In obtaining lambs young enough to feed out well for the fall show. The date of the show has not been definitely set but will be about the first of June. In or der to have lambs ready for this show, ewes should be bred In August. EARLE JOSSY, County Club Agent.
