THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1940 INDIANS WIN SENATORS STAY ON TOP Sept. 20.--Cleveland drove fo s 8-1 triumph over wi ms Senators yesterday to carry a first-place American League tie with Detroit Tigers into their all-important pennant. series open- in Detroit. ty Al Smith, exponent of the Bib pifeh, ' 'outdid Emil (Dutch) Leonard, right - handed knuckle ball artists, to give the In- diens a sweep of the three-game series. Although the Nats garnered eight hits off Smith, who won his fif. teenth victory, the only one that counted was an eighth-inning hom- er by Johnny Welaj. Cleveland had only six safeties, but they came when, they counted and Leonard himself helped the In- dians' cause. Ben Chapman led off the second stanza with a single. Roy Weatherly popped out and with Lou Boudreau up, Leonard tried to pick Chapman off first base. His throw was wid and the ball wea: by Jack Sanford at first base. Ben went to third and tallied on Boud- reau's fly. The Senators threatened several times, but three Cleveland doubles plays erased the rallies. Buddy Lewis and Gerald Walker led off with singles in the fourth, but Cecil Travis popped to Catcher Rollie Hemsley and Jimmy Blood- worth obliged by grounding into a double play. Oscar Vitt's boys, who make few honest hits but make the most of them, clinched the game in the sixth inning with a two-run stam- pede. That was partly Leonard's faut, too, for he started it by walking Hal Trosky. Beau Bell hit a single and Trosky scored all the way from first as Walker fumbled it for an error, Bell advancing to second. Ken Keltner's single tallied Bell with the third and last Indian run, Manager Vitt said Mel Harder, Al Milnar and Feller would pitch in order in the three-game war at Detroit. TIGERS WHIP A'S TWICE TO TIE INDIANS Detroit, Sept. 20.--Detroit Tigers bombarged Philadelphia Athletics into humble submission, 13 to 2 and 10 to 1, in a doubleheader yes- terday, thereby climbing into a first place tie with Cleveland. The Bengals and the Indians open a three-game series here to- day, with the American League pennant probably hinging on the outcome. The Tigers got brilliant pitching from two unexpected quarters, and tremendous slugging by their two home-run twins--Hank Greenberg and Rudy York--in their one-sided victories. Greenberg and York both hom- ered in the first game, and each slugger drove in five runs. York hit for the circuit in the nightcap and batted in three runs, while Green- berg drove in one runner with a double. Greenberg scored a total of seven runs, four in the opener and three in the nightcap. The surprise pitching came from Floyd Giebell, up from Buffalo of the International League, where he won fifteen games and lost six- teen, and Paul Trout, the No. 1 disappointment of the Tiger pitch- ing corps this season. Giebell Wins Debut Giebell scattered eight hits in the opener as he won his first American League start of the year. Trout turned in a superb four-hit per- formance in the second contest. All of the Philadelphia runs came on homers, Sam Chapman and Bob Johnson hitting for the circuit in the first game, and Dee Miles connecting for a four-base blow in the finale. The Tigers combed Lovill (Chub- by) Dean for fourteen hits and twenty-eight bases in the first game which was decided in the third when Greenberg hit his thir- ty-ninth homer of the year, and his thirteenth in sixteen games with one on base. The Tigers had scored twice in the first inning. York's thirty-first homer sparked a three-run assault in the fifth and Greenberg's three-bagger with the bases full highlighted a four-tally outburst in the sixth. The Tigers backed Trout's fine pitching with g thirteen-hit twen- ty-three-base attack in the night- cap. York got Detroit enough runs to win in the second inning when he hit for the circuit after Green- berg had walked. BROWNS EDGE BOSTON SOX, 2-1 St. Louis, Sept. 20.--Manager Joe Conin on the bench with a spiked hand, and a makeshift line-up play- ing, Boston Red Sox lost their sea- son finale with the Browns yester- day, 2 to 1. Dropping the two-game series to the Browns ended Boston's mathe- matical chances to win the Ameri- can League pennant. Elden Auker, while allowing nine hits, choked all the 80x scoring threats except in the. fifth when doubles hy Ulysses Lupien and Johnny Peacock pro- duced Boston's run. BRI.

The Bears scored the only tally of the game in the ninth inning. After Alex. Kampouris flied out, Ed Levy singled and Bud Metheny doubled, scoring Levy. Borrowy allowed only thre hits, issued two walts, and fanned six batters. His only troublesome in- ning was the first, when Gordon opened with a single and reached third on Borowy's wild throw past Levy. 8ig Gordon, however, was out at the plate on Tommy Holmes' throw after catching Martin's fly. ETTEN'S HOME RUN WINS FOR ORIOLES Baltimore, Sept. 20.--With two out and two on base in the ninth inning, Nick Etten exploded a home run last night to give Baltimore a 3-2 victory over Rochester and the Birds' first victory in the Governors' Cup series. The deciding blow came after Nick Gornicki, hurling for Rochest- er, had permitted but three hits in eight innings and had the Orioies handcuffed. For Baltimore Orlin Collier yielded but three hits, allowing one earned run before retiring for a pinch-hitter in the eighth. Dick Midkiff pitched the last inning and got credit for the victory. After the game the fans swarmed on to the field and an impromptu riot resulted when they attempted to maul Umpire Solodare. Solodare had called Collins out at third in the ninth, drawing boos.

SHATTER THREE WORLD MARKS |. Delaware, Ohio, iio, Sept. $0.--Three half-mile track world's records were shattered yesterday at the. Grand Circuit harness racing program. Dusty Hanover, bay horse owned by Sullivan and Mawhinney of Machias, Me, clipped two of these marks in the $2,000 first division pace. The bay covered the first mile heat in 2:00!2, breaking the 2:00% time established at Rutland, Vt., by Billy Direct. driver of the former record-holder, also drove the new champion today. | Dusty Hanover, sired by Sandy Flash, then ran the second heat in 2:00% to hang up a new two-hea! half-mile track record for the mile pace.

This repre- | sents a decrease of 23,000 acres or | 25.6 per cent. The biggest drop in | acreage is shown in the area plant- | ed to flue-cured tobacco in Ontario About 42350 acres are planted this year in Ontario, 5520 in Quebec | and 400 acres in British Columbia, | | making a total of 48270 acres as | compared with 68,570 acres in 1939, | 'a reduction of 20,300 acres or 30 per cent. Extensive damage from frost in Norfolk County on the night of | August 23 resulted in the destruc- tion of about 10,000 acres which will cause a still further reduction in the area of flue-cured tobacco to be harvested in Ontario. A de- crease of only three per cent is indicated in Quebec and an in- crease of nearly 30 per cent is | shown in British Columbia. | [ ley tobacco in 1940 is estimated at [9,436 acres, as against 11,200 acres lin 1939, a decrease of 1464 acres or | 13 per -cent. There has also been | a sharp reduction in the acreage | planted to dark tobacco, planted in Ontario being est at less than one-half the 19 of 2.650 acres, while the acreage in | Quebec is negligible. A reduction of 65 per cent is shown in the area planted to cigar leaf in the Northern district in Quebec, with 2,590 acres planted in 1940 com- pared with 2,770 acres in 1939. A decrease of approximately 8 per cent is indicated in the district where 1825 acres planted in 1939. For pipe tobaccos, the acreage of large and medium aromatic varieties increased 2,680 acres in 1939 to 3355 acres | in 1940 in the Northern district, while the acreages of small aroma- tic pipe types dropped from 900 acres in 1939 to 535 acres in 1940. No change is indicated in the Southern district in the acreage of pipe types which are grown com- mercially on a small scale, imated 1k | ANIMAL BREEDING There has probably been a small- er contribution from scientific re- most other phases of agriculture, says Dr.. J. M. Swaine, Director, Science Service, Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture. The breeds of domestic animals in Canada to- day are in the main the breeds that emerged from the agricultural re- volution in Britain several genera- tions ago. They have been improv- ed and modified through the use has been guided mostly by {he skill of the breeders. Carefully planned breeding programmes are now be- ing undertaken.

Threshing Machines Should Be Cleaned ' Prevent Weed Spread The threshing machine is one of | the agencies responsible for Ontar- io's present weed problem, states John D. MacLeod, Crops, Sceds and Weeds Branch, Ont, Dept. of Agriculture, Toronto. If the ma- chine is not well cleaned after threshing and before moving, weed | | seeds may be distributed along road- ways and lanes and carried from one farm to another. ers can trare the introduction of noxious weeds 'to a threshing ma- | infestation | chine. This source of need not exist any longer. Many farm- | September, rather than in spring. 'There are, however, two exceptions to this rule: one when | the ground is too steep and second when the fertilizer contains nitro- | | gen. In the latler case, the phos- { phorous and potash may be applied | in the fall and the nitrogen in the | following spring. When a pasture | is fertilized for the first time, { well to use the highest | mentioned. The applications of | fertilizer should be repeated every three, four or f've years, depending on the fertility of the soil and the { needs of the plants. These recom- | modified according to the circum- stances. Legislation has been included in | the Ontario Weed Control Act which makes it compulsory for every threshing machine and all equip- ment used in connection therewith to be thoroughly cleaned inside and out before moving from farm to farm or before travelling upon pub- lie highway. The fact that one weed seed will produce a plant, and an average plant several thousand seeds, is a clear indication of the importance of thoroughly cleaning the machine and equipment before moving, Mr | MacLeod points out. Farmers are urged 'to co-operate with the thresher and to insist on cleaning up the threshing outfit after each job has been completed The operation will take only a few minutes and will be time well spent, Do not permit the threshing ma- chine to carry weed seeds on to your | farm. Insist on a clean machine when making arrangements for the threshing of. your crop, Mr, Mac- Leod advises, 'F all F ertilization Makes Good Pastures There is no more important crop in Canada than pasture, and, in the light of the production of nutritious feed during the past summer | months, now is the time to make plans to increase its value. If the { pasture has not given the results | expected, asks Paul Gervais, Do- | minion Experimental Station, Len- | noxville, P.Q.,, what is the reason? Is it a question of drainage, acidity, | or fertility that is at fault? In the | last case, commercial fertizilers if | used with judgment, will help cor- | rect the situation. | It is important for the soil to | supply the plant with the correct | balance of the three principal fer- tilizing elements, phosphorus, pot- | ash, and nitrogen. The type of soil and the plants growing on it are the guides as to the kind of fer- | tilizer to apply. If wild white clover is present. and the soll is heavy (clay), an application of 300 to 500 pounds of superphosphate is re- commended. On light land, the use of 300 to 500 pounds of 0-16-6 gives good results. Where there is no wild white clover, a complete fer- tilizer 2-12-6 is used at the same rates as above. | Tests have disclosed that it | better to spread fertilizer in early Southern | were | is WHEN IN NEW YORK Stop at this fine hotel famed for comfort, quiet and convenience.
