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

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.

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

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

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

recently trounced four times in

Although there ' was no an

J. 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

because of the unexpectedly
heavy redeployment of troops

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. F.
Tunney said today. More than
300 mounts, enough to run for
the season, are now at the track,
he said. Bing Crosby is track
president.

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. With this in
mind it would seem desirable to

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.

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.
