The lanky Cleveland, O., pro fessional had a bad start with a bogey on the par-four first hole at Miami Springs, because whirring movie cameras made him nervous.

UTZ Men's Wear two birdies on the first nine and an eagle three on the 460-yard thirteenth hole. A short putt failed to drop on the sixth, giving him another bogey and holding his score only two below par. Picard, out of the top money for six years, had a 204 total for 54 holes, two better than Ben Hogan, Hershey, Pa., who was hot today and fired a four-under-par 66. Hogan took the back nine apart with four birdies, dropping a down-hill ten-footer on the last hole for a 31 on the nine. One stroke behind Hogan was Harold (Jug) McSpaden, San ford, Me., who took a 67 today for a 207 total. He missed an easy five-foot putt on the 18th, forcing him to par and out of a second-place tie. Frank Stranahan, Toledo, O., amateur, held his own with the pros on a par 70 for a 208 total. Denny Shute of Akron, O., came up from nowhere with a 33-33 66 208 to threaten the leaders. S OUE FOR Chicago, Dec. 8 (U.R) The minor leagues, which openly rebelled against Commissioner A. B. (Happy) Chandler at their meetings in Columbus, O., last week, were scheduled to be thoroughly "squelched" at the annual major league meeting which opens here Monday. Big League leaders, checking into overcrowded Chicago ho tels today, were practically solid in their prediction that the minors will receive only a smattering of what they asked at Columbus. The National and American leagues will take up some of the minor leagues' proposals tomor row and are expected to: (1) veto the minor leagues' bonus legislation, and (2) deny the Pacific Coast league its bid for major league status, an attempt to break the 40-year big league monopoly of the National and American leagues. MEET CALLED 10 FORM CAGE LOOP A meeting for sponsors of in dependent basketball teams has been called for Tuesday at 7:30 p. m. at the Jackson County chamber o commerce office, it was announced yesterday. Discussion of formation of an independent league will be held, with schedule and playoff plans discussed. All team managers and sponsors interested in en tering teams are invited to at tend the meeting. Teams from Medford high school, Medford Athletic asso ciation, Ashland Elks, Medford Hotel and Rogue River have signified desire to enter the loop. a Where QUALITY IS HIGH PRICES are LOW WEED ASSASSIN TO FACE NEGRO Rough Rufus Jones and Pete Belcastro will meet in the top main event of Thursday night's wrestling card at Medford armory, Promoter Mack Lillarid said last night. Jones inked his name to the contract last night after considerable urging on the part of Lillard. At Belcastro's insistence for a new referee, Norvil Stockstill of Talent will be third man in the ring. Belcastro requested the match after being eliminated early in last week's battle royal when Jones smacked him on the chin and cooled him with head butts as the Weed Assassin was climbing into the ring before hostilities started. Pete will be wrestling for practically nothing since he had to waive a largo percentage of his share of the gate to get the Detroit Darky into the ring with him, Lillard said. Jones de manded an impossible guaran tee but Belcastro was more than willing to give up some of his share to make the bout possible. The Gray Mask, scourge of the local mat, will tackle an old foe, Harold (Blood and Guts) Davidson, in the other half of the dual main event. Davidson told Lillard he still believes he can whip the' hooded one and wanted another chance to prove it. A classy mix is promised for the opening go when Angelo Martinclli and Ben Sherman, two "pretty boys" of the mat, square off at 8:30 p. m. beaveget 3 Portland, Ore., Dec. 8 U.R) General Manager William Klepper of the Portland Beavers today wired from Chicago that he had purchased outright the contracts of Jack Salveson and Eddie Wheeler from the Cleve land Club and Jim Bucher from the Boston Red Sox. Salveson won 24 games in 1943 for Oakland but remained in a defense plant in 1944 and 1945, until he reported to Cleve land in mid-season and did ror lief work. Wheeler was draft ed by Cleveland from San Diego i: 1944, while Bucher joined the Boston Club in 1943 after having been purchased from Toledo.

RACING San Mateo, Calif., Dec. 8 (U,R) No wrinkles, a stretch running chestnut horre from the K. Marlcy stables, came up from the pack to win the $25,000 Bay Meadows handicap here today. Ridden by Jockey Dick Sum mers and carrying 112 pounds, the son of Crows Feet by Wise Counsellor finished three lengths in front of Wise Eagle, which nosed out Sammy Angott for place money. Louis B.

Tilden, II, of Holly wood, slowed down by his 52 years of age, was defeated this afternoon by red-haired Don Budge, 6-0, 6-1, in the semi finals of the $5,000 world pro fessional hardcourt, tennis championstiips. The other finalist In tomor row's play will be Bobby Riggs, of Los Angeles, who defeated Fred Perry of Santa Monica, 6-2, 6-1, in the other semi-final match this afternoon. Tlie veteran Tilden was no match for Budge. Apparently wearied by yesterday's match when he defeated Les Stoefen, Tilden was unable to run after Budge's power shots. Ho netted the ball frequently, and won only six points in the first set. The match lasted only 25 minutes, and Budge was the master all the time over the legendary Tilden who was na tional men's singles champion for six years, starting in 1920, and won the crown the last time in 1929 before turning pro fessional. Perry was always a threat in the other semi-final game won by Riggs. Eight of the 15 games were deuced. Riggs, however, outsteadled and outgoneralled Perry to win. About 50 per cent of the corn acreage in Wyoming was dam aged this year by low tempera tures. f 1 fh i? AFTER studying the above illustrations, you . might Jy: "What's This Got to Do with Crops?" And the answer is: "A LoL" If a tractor's axle should snap right in the midst of harvesting, the results would be mighty serious. To insure John Deere owners against such breakdowns, torsional tests (as pictured) have heen devised. The great machine grips the axle at either end and twists with an irresistible force of thousands and thousands of pounds. As you enn see, by noting the chalk lines on the axle in the illustra tion, the tremendous force literally wrings the axle as you would twist a piece of rubber or other pliable material. The force applied is There is m substitute for the accumulated experience gained through more than s hun dred years oj single-minded deivlion to the manujacturt of better jarm implements.

Thus they know what margins of safety in toughness and hardness are in John Deere tractor axles. A long, long backing of experience and exact scientific tests enables John Deere to manufac ture farm equipment that will provide iltpend able performance. And the purchaser of John Deere farm implements can be sure that the tractor, plow, combine, corn picker, spreader or whatever John Deere equipment he may buy, will do all thai is claimed for it, and MORE, because John Deere engineers always add so extra margin of strength just to be sure.
