SpOrt ffjvi 0$CA"rltALIY f 8fcj' Uafced Prtn rarade Ji New York (U.R) One of the major mysteries of the current baseball season today is the inex plicable manner in which the National League is walking all over the American League in the department of averages. The averages, supposedly, are a barometer of excellence. They are indicative numerals which show hitting, fielding, pitching and batting ability over the long haul and, as any beauty contest winner will tell you. it's impossi ble to argue with figures. If such be the case, at long last the National League is "the" big league of baseball. . Won All Star Gam , Added evidence is that the Na tional League captured the All Star game this season for the third straight year. American League fans will shrug this off by pointing to the World Series, which the Nats haven't won since the Cardinals turned the trick against the Boston Red Sox 'way back in 1946. But they can't shrug off the current averages. For instance, in batting as of yesterday's games, the National League had four men hitting at a hotter rate than the American League's leaders. Red Schoen dienst of the Cards at .341, Monte Irvin's .337 and the .327 by Ted Kluszewski and Carl Furillo all were superior to the .325 of Min nie Minoso and Mickey Vernon, the American League leaders. Buns Batted In In another of the big depart ments, runs batted in, the Amer ican League's Al Rosen is the only member of his cast among the first five, and he is second to chunky Roy Campanella, while being only slightly ahead of Gil Hodges and Eddie Mathews. The crowd jolter always has been the home run and here, too, the National League is continu ing a romp by holding four of .the first five places. Mathews is :the leader with 33 followed by Kluszewski with 30. The Amer- Salem (U.R) The senteno ing of George A. Hall, 52, who pieaded guilty to bilking handi capped persons when he was working as a state rehabilitation counselor, has been continued for one week. ican League's top belter is Rosen, with 27 which ties him with Campanella. Over all, of the 25 spots in the coveted average depart ments, five leaders in batting, homers, runs batted in, hits and runs, the American League has only seven places. Wheal Growers Will Discuss New Quotas Corvallis (U.R) Oregon wheat growers vote Aug. 14 on whether they will agree to wheat ouotas proclaimed for next year by Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson. Arnold Bodtker, state Produc tion and Marketing administra tion chairman, said Oregon's al lotment on the 1954 crop is slightly less than 900,000 acres. This is some 300,000 acres less than was planted for this year's harvest. The quotas will not become effective unless approved by at least two-thirds of the growers voting in the Aug. 14 referendum. Grants Pass Girl Wins Cabinet Post Washington (U.R) Bonnie Jean Ellsworth, Grants Pass, to day took "office" as secretary of the army at the annual Girls' Nation meeting here. Gail Blush, Salem, became mutual security director. The two Oregon delegates to the meeting were sworn in last right at the , inauguration of a girl president, Patricia Anne Vincent of Norfolk, Va.

Comment On This and That By HAS. MAN W. NICHOLS Unit Pratt Featara Writs n' Xi ; Washington (U.R) The rather large lady in the black lace dress looked across the room and said to me: "You are a sick man. You will have an operation within two months." I leapt from my cushion and let the lady know that Haxmaa Micaou I never felt better in my life. I did a version of the Charleston to prove it. "I feel sorry for you news papermen," said Gertrude A. Anderson, a Washington clair voyant "You reporters are a bundle of nerves. You chase fires, fight deadlines, and are al ways broke. But I love you. Some of you are my best cus tomers." Might Be Ulcers The lady appeared before a group of newsmen to plug a new picture, "All I Desire," which Ike Won't Sign Bill To Remove Movie Ticket Tax Washington XU.R) Presi dent Eisenhower said today that he will not sign a bill to ex empt motion picture theaters from the 20 per cent federal ad missions tax. In a message of "disapproval" Mr. Eisenhower said that the government "cannot afford the Ion of revenue involved and . , it is unfair to single out one in dustry for relief at this time.' He said that the net loss, if the tax were removed, has been estimated at between $100,000, 000 and $120,000,000 a year. The bill repealing the movie tax had been approved over whelmingly by the House and Senate. Movie representatives had never given any indication that all theater owners would pass the tax savings on to movie goers by reducing prices. Their argument was that they needed the added revenue to offset their own losses. The President pointed out that Congress had extended the excess profits tax for six months to next January 1 at his re quest. "Tax relief for one industry now would be inconsistent with that action," he said. He added that the "basic causes" of the movie industry's financial distress arises from new forms of competition. He said that "a strong case" also could be made for other indus tries subject to high excise taxes. 4-H Clubs Southwest Medford Sewing Club .

"Yes," she said, without hesi tation, "it will be upon your stomach." "Ulcers?" I asked. "You'll find out," she an swered, leaving me in complete comfort. Happy Endings , ' Anyhow, at the conference, "Mother" Anderson produced some government girls she had helped. Some with love prob lems, one a drug addict, another who once had a hankering to do nor husband in for infidelity. The girls appeared before us, wearing black masks. Each told her story and how "Mother A." had saved her from a horrible fate. Their stories had happy end ings. The girl doesn't smoke the weed anymore. "Miss B" didn't kill her husband, and they have lived happily ever since. And the others had their romance pxoblems solved. Thursday.
