I ksM STEALING THIRD, Bobby Avila, Cleveland, is given safe signal by umpire as Yankee Yogi Berra's throw leaches Carey mite too late. (International Soundphoto) Sport Parade By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer New York (U.R) John Landy takes another whack at the four minute mile Saturday and whether he makes it or not it's been a . privilege and a pleasure to have him with us. If that sounds like a Chamber of Commerce speech,-so be It. Because we too often are in clined to take it for granted th. t we have a corner on sportsman ship as well as athletic talent. ' This lean, 26-year-old school teacher from Down Under is a champion in both departments. It's a cinch, as he takes a bead on his own world mile mark of 3:58 in the West Coast Relays at Fresno, Calif., Saturday, that sooner or later he or somebody else is going to break it. Modest ly deprecating his own ability to run faster than 3:56, Landy ad mits as much. "Someday they'll run as low as 3:50, and it might be within five years the way they're run ning now," he predicts. Might Do It Notice he didn't say the way "we" are running. But this is Pinball Measure On Portland Ballot Portland (U.R) A spokes man for coin machine operators said today that the issue of pin ball machines in the . Rose City would be on the ballot in Novem ber, regardless of how a pinball measure fares in next Friday's election. , - Alvin J. Brown, executive sec retary of the Coin Machine Oper ators of Oregon, said the ballot measure written for the primary election was poorly prepared and presented the issue back wards. It would only result in throwing the pinball question back in the courts, he said. Brown said the industry would -sponsor an initiative pe tition before the November elec tion to give voters a clear cut choice. Of next Friday's ballot meas ure, Brown said: '"If people are for pinballs they must vote 'no' and if they are against them they vote 'yes'.' . Agrigento, Italy (U.R) Vin cenza Galgano had to postpone her wedding plans Thursday, when the city registrar found she was a sort of "woman who never was." A check showed Miss Galgano's parents had not registered her birth, had not baptized her, nor christened her. She had also never been to school and never voted. ATTENTION MEN!

Editor's note: Do you want to ex tend the life of practically every kind of plant material used for show pur poses, home, office, banquet hall and church? Here is the second of a series of questions and answers on this subject to be published In the Mail Tribune telllnjc you how to snake your dahlias, roses or lilies last extra days. The material Is largely taken from Eucene Burns' notes on his recent Far Eastern trip. the lad who just might do it, because six men have run the mile under four minutes a total of 11 times. Landy himself has done it five of those times. The last time was last Satur day. Most guys would have been thrown into a tizzy because Landy, running 3:58.7 a time he has beaten on three occasions finished second to fellow Aus tralian Jim Bailey's surprising 3:58.6.. Landy, aside from a few lauda tory words for Bailey, was ap parently unperturbed. Instead of blowing his top, he maintain ed a marked poise, jokingly ob serving that if he had his career to plot over again he would be a sprinter "because it's easier and shorter." He has proved several times before, that he was a sportsman of whom Australia can well be proud. The most hotable occasion was in a recent race in Australia when an opponent tripped and fell. Landy stopped to help him to his feet and then went on to win the race. He ran the mile that time in 4:04.2, too. Really ; Makes Friends Coming to the United States to help plug the Olympic games, to be held in Australia late this year, Landy has really friends and influenced people. One rea son is his straightforward ap praisal of himself, one which shows a wide streak of humor. That he doesn't own an auto mobile or even a bicycle, genial John explained he was "a frugal sort of fellow." "Besides," he said, tapping a long forefinger on one leg, "I've been able to- get along rather well on these." Not well enough, though, he contends, to win the Olympic 1,500 meter race. Landy's theory is "there are too many great runners in that one." So, in an era of second guess ers alibi artists, it's nice to meet one of his kind. Australia can be right proud of him and I,; for one, wish he belonged to us. . , Question: Is there any partic ular way of handling or packing cut flowers to make them last longer? Answer: Handle each flower with the prized care it deserves. Pick them up by their stems and handle them as little and as quickly as possible. Delicate and fragile blossoms, like camellia, gardenia, and southern magnolia may be permanently damaged if you brush one against the other or carelessly place them in a basket or container. Get the habit of placing them on your table or work surfaces so the heads extend over the edge. When arranging the flowers, lift them by the stems and place them directly from the condi tioning container into the vase or bowl. G. Should flowers be "con ditioned" before placing them in a bouquet? A. Most flowers will last longer if properly conditioned that is, placed in water in a cool, darkened .room. On the underside of leaves there are many minute pores, sometimes called breathing cells. These pores open and close to regulate the amount and rate of carbon dioxide absorption, the liberation of oxygen, ' and the loss of moisture. At night, when it is dark, these breathing cells almost close. This reduces the amount and rate of moisture- loss. In the daytime, if the room for conditioning is darkened, these pores which normally would be open, tend to close, thus decreasing the moisture evaporation through the breath ing cells of the foliage. When "conditioned" the plants have an opportunity to soak in water overnight or at least for some hours, and thus they have stored up a supply of water and have hardened. They are then much better prepared to be handled in making a flower ar rangement or to be transported. Should Be Mist-Sprayed Q. Besides this, should the flowers be watered from above? A. Usually the air in a room is inclined to be dry. -Hence, to duplicate greenhouse conditions, it is well to mist-spray the flow ers. A fairly cheap bottle-spray with a plastic fixture so it won't rust is available at your service station where such sprayers are used to clean windshields. With the sprayer, spray a fine mist of cold water into the air above and around the flowers and foliage after you have placed them with stems in water. A thin film of moisture will .settle on petals and foliage and thus in crease humidity in a room and prevent undue loss of moisture through flowers and leaves. Q. Should one use faucet water?. Ice water? By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist A. Room temperature water is usually best but let the faucet water stand from 5 to 10 min utes before use so that the air bubbles can escape before you place the stems in it. Air bubbles in the stems prevent the rise of water. Hence, fill your condi tioning containers with water be fore you go out to gather flowers. By the time you have returned, the water will be ready. Us of Water Q- Is deep water essential? A. Almost all water absorbed by cut flowers enters through the base of the stem. One excep tion is the carnation. So for most flowers shallow water is just as good as deep water as far as intake is concerned. But when the room is exceedingly dry, use generous amounts of water it will lessen evaporation through the leaves and stem. For some flowers which have leafless stems, such as cyclamens, hy acinths, and calla lilies, it is best to use deep water. But regardless, keep the water level high enough to keep stem ends always in water. Next week there will be an other article on how to prolong the life of cut flowers.
