MedfordTribune Big Loops Open Spring Training By UNITED FESS It's baseball time in America once again as the big league teams officially opened their spring training season today with hopes gleaming brightly and last year's failures forgotten under the balmy skies of the sunny SouthQnd. The rookies have been drill ing for a couple of weeks, with a few veterans getting in some advance voluntary work. But March 1 is the official start and the day the "varsity" players are dfee to report. Players not on hand for the ffest drills become officially re garded as holdouts, and there were 20 players in the running for that label. Some of these were expected to make a hasty scribble on the dotted line and grab a bat today but some were darn serious about their hold outs. The Cleveland Indians frankly admitted that both Gene VQpod ling and Bobby Avila were in the "serious" class, Genergjl Manager Hank Greenberg got caught way off base Wednesday when he announced Woodling had signed an assumption he jumped to when he heard GfQe had arrived in camp. Balks At Cut HoSman Defeats Rowan in Bout Miami, Fla. (U.R) Big Johnny Holman, who stooped to conquor smaller Joey Rowan in their TV-radio fight, said to day he fibred he could win with the same tactics in a title bout with Rocky Marciano. "I wish they'd give me a title shot with Rocky, so I could try bendin' down to meet him," said six-foot-four Johnny oOchicago, who bowed forward Wednesday night and used a lifting aack of uppercuts and hooks thai had Rowan of Phoenixville, Pa., prac tically out on his feet at the final bell. But Truman Gibson, executive secretary of the International Boxing club, said 28-year-old Holman the fourth-ranking contender probably would have another Miami fight in early May against the winner of a bout between Hurricane Jack son and England's Johnny Wig gins. They tangle at Washing ton, D. C, on April 13. BEAVERS INK CATCHERS Portland (U.R) The Portland Beavers signed a pair of catchers to 1956 contracts yesterday as the list of players in the fold be gan to swell with spring training just around the corner. Ron Bot tler, local Portland boy who played with Columbus, Ga., in the Sally league last season, and Bob Gauthier, purchased last week from Eugene of the North west loop, were signed yesterday. You'll Always Find Reliability Uniformity Full Strength IN EVERY LOAD OF TRU-MIX CONCRETE Tru-Mix Concrete Co. FAST. PROMPT MeAndrews Road Officially The 33-year-old outfielder quickly set the record straight, balking Qiain at a 323,000 pact that represented a big cut and today he was talking about going home to Clifton, N. J. Avila, former American league batting champ who staged a long hold out last spring, still is in Mexico and silent. The Yankees were waiting for early word-, today on whether lefty ace vrhitey Ford will ac cept their latest offer a 56,000 raise and $28,000. Chances were Whitey would say "yes," and that sparkplug Billy Martin would sign when he arrives in camp today. But pitcher Jim Konstanty was insisting he shouldn't be judged salary-wise on last year's record and out fielder Irv Noren left camp after rejecting the Yanks' offer. Journal Shoot To Open Sunday Members of Medford Gun club will begin firing Sunday, March 4, in the annual Oregon Journa, 16-yard telegraphic trapshoot. The event will run for eight Sundays.

DELIVERY Phone 2-5271 Veteran Coquille Quintet To Oppose Crater Comets In A-2 Area Hoop Series Central Point An exper ienced all-senior " aggregation will take the "floor this week end for the Coquille Re Devils this week end when they skir mish the Crater High Comets for the District 6 A-2 basketball diadem. Four lettermen and one jap able transfer will be in the line up for the Devils when they meet the Comets Friday night at Coquille and Saturday night at Central Point. Through the season the trans fer ha. been the main force of Coquille. He is Don Nelson, 6-2 forward, who came from Laur elwood Academy, Portland. He has piled up 382 points in 23 games. At the other forward may be Tom Creager, 5-10, or Leroy Ames, 6 feet. Ames has been bothered by a bad knee and his servicesQ could be limited. Cen ter Howard Waggoner, 6 feet. At guards are Leroy Sargent, 5- 10, and Jack Liles, 5-7. 17 Victories Coquille will match a 17-win 6- loss record against Crater's 11-11. The Red Devils won a play-off for the northern sub district title after knotting at a 10-2 record with Myrtle Creek for the regular season. Crater won a southern division tourna ment, Chicking Phoenix in the finals after finishing second to the Pirates in the Rogue league. Crater may have a slight edge in height that could help it on the backboards but the Devils reportedly have more speed and could outrun the Comets. Co quille is a club which will run if it gets the chance. Curt Jar vis is coach of the coast area club. o VIKES BEAT PIONEERS Portland (U.R) A pair of gift tosses by Fletch Frazier af ter the final gun gave Portland State a 76-74 win over Lewis and Clark here last ighto as both clubs wound up their reg ular season schedule In the in- terleague battle.

CORDY County Extension Agent for Horticulture The selection of a proper fer tilizer to use on garden plants is dependent upon a few simple rules. Most of our soils are well supplied with lime and most of our horticultural plants prefer soils which are slightly acid. Ag a result it is generally inadvis able to use any lime and in some cases definitely injurious. Ashes likewise should be avoid ed. A few plants such as Clematis and Delphinium like a soil high in lime but applications should be judicious as neighboring plants would not be benefited and plants seeded in that area in the future likewise might be dam aged. Acid Loving Plants Acitl loving plants such as azalea and rhododendrons gen erally find too much lime in our soils and an acid fertilizer is de sirable. For these Vt pound of sulfate of ammonia to s square yard would be desirable. If this is repeated once or twice a year it would help maintain an acid condition. This same application would be beneficial to other es tablished plants. In preparing the soil before planting the use of a complete fertilizer would be desirable. Phosphate and potash are most beneficial in the seedling stage so the use of 5 pounds of a complel fertilizer mixed into the soil before planting would stimulate the growth of the young seedlings.

T95S Shingle Weavers Favor Strike Action Portland (U.R) A spokes man for the AFL-CIO shingle weavers in Oregon and Wash-6 union had voted 8 to 1 in favor of calling a strike in the two states if negotiations with em ployers fail to produce a settle ment. The union has about 2000 members in the two states. The union is asking for a raise of 25 cents an hour as part of a 10-point proposal covering wages, health and welfare and working conditions.

(U.R) Mrs. Martha Hoffman said Wednes day she would call off her di vorce proceedings if her hus band agreed to: Enter into conversation with her; Spend the "main portions" of his time with his family instead of his newspaper and radio. Take her out once a week, even if it means he has to give up bowling. through the year are much bet ter than a single heavy applica tion. One pound of sulfate pf ammoma to each 10'xlO' area, applied three or four times a year will keep a lawn in a good vigorous condition. ' This will thicken the grass up so that weeds have a harder time com peting. In making the spring applica tion put a little extra fertilizer on any patches of moss that majP be showing. This will burn the mgss out and stimulate the re establishment of the grass. Whenever fertilizers are used on lawns they should be thor oughly watered in or rather se vere burning will result. In the case of the mossy areas it is de sirable not to sprinkle for -24 hours so that the fertilizer will have a chance to burn up the moss. The grass, while injured, will quickly recover.
