Billy will 4M playing with the Cub farm chrfb at Clinton, Iowa, this seaam. Local fans will be watching his progress with interest. amriAND The baseball trail is hard and long, tat Billy has youth in his favor. Good baseball hands, a strong arm and a natural ability to level off on a pitch are all in his favor. Sorry to hear that Howard Judson had to return to Chicago from the Sox training camp for eye treatment. It isn't a pleasant memory, but faiis remember that Judson received an eye injury in basketball tournament play a few years ago. Us said that young hoys were shooting metal clips at the players. You have a $100 bill. You leave it for safe keeping with the desk clerk in the hotel where you are staying. The clerk puts it in the cash box. The hotel manager takes it to the bank to pay off a note. The bank uses the bill to pay the salary of a teller. The teller uses! it to pav • $100 grocery bill. Tlie' grocer then uses it to -pay a $100 dental bill. The dentist lives in your! hotel and pays his $100 hotel bill! with the $100 and the same trill is I returned to the cash box.

TY COBB Official lists are not out, hot we can give you the top winners in the men's tournament completed the past weekend at Schaefers'. I Pete Koob held his lead in the "All Events" and "Actual Pins" field, having 1758 pins with 108 handicap for a total of 1866. In the "Singles,*' K. Ia Evans, of Harvard, was out in front with 664 plus 76 handicap for a 730 total., Al Kuppe, of Woodstodc* rolled aj 601 series with 52 pins added fori 653. George Nowak's 588 plus 64 handicap gave him 652 and third place. Shulfer and Stock held their top spot in the'"Doubles" with 1253. Mackin, bonding- with McDonald's Tavern team, came close to a perfect game the other night--11 strikes. He rolled 7 strikes, then went haywire in the eighth frame--getting only 2 pins on his first ball and 4 on the second. His game was 254 --and night have been 900! Ralph Bennett clicked o4f a 255 game in open bowling with 10 strikes. In a Match Game last Sunday the Johndburg Spotters beat the youthful P&lace Wracks 2121 to 2063. The big news of the event was a 243 nme by Andy McCarroll, bringing lus series up to 508. Andy, leading off for the Wrecks, didn't have a ball when the match started so he searched around and found Gus Freund's ball. Now, you know what kind of a mitt Gus has and the span on that ball. But, that didn't' stop Andy! Now, the boys are figuring that Gus will have to get a man-size ball. Sorry, no bowling scores this week. The Plaindealer force is knocked out ar the flu bug. Here are a few: aureen Doherty. 527 and 557; M. Simon, 509; E. Hoyte, 524; Eleanor Miller, 483; H. G. Weber, 233-615. \17E HAVE been reading lately, from something like a dozen spring training camps, about the number of amazing rookies that have come along. This happens every spring. It has teen going on for some 50 years. It is only natural that it should be this way, for the rookie is usually young, keen, ambitious and thinks only in terms of today. The veteran has to think in terms of next summer, as he nurses his waning arm and bone too certain legs. Spring is the rookie's happy hunting ground. It would be a wonderful thing for the game if they all could make good, but as one veteran manager told me lately--"All I can ask for is one, or maybe two. That would be a big average." 8e far the Doigers and the Giants seem te have discovered the leaitag rookie pheaeeas. But If either team eaa start the new season with twe resides who are good enough to win a Jeb away from some regular, they win he two lueky hall clubs. Now and then you hear about "another Cobb" or "another Ruth." Suppose we check back on these two famous names. Cobb reported to Augusta in the Sally league in 1904, where he batted .237 in 37 games. I was working in Atlanta that year and I heard no great uproar about Cobb being "another Wagner." Ty-'s best press agent was Ty. Ty joined the Tigers in 1905 where he batted .240 in 41 games that season and there was no overwhelming j chorus about coming greatness. He jumped to .320 in 1906--and from then on It was something else again--<377 in 1909, .385 in 1910t .430 in 1911 and .410 in 1912. Ruth Known as Pitcher In 1914, Babe Ruth's fame belonged to pitching. No one had anything to say about his hitting. In 46 games with Baltimore and Providence, that 1914 season, the Babe batted .231. My record book shows that he hit one home run that year. In his first five years as a pitcher with the Red Sox, the Babe averaged slightly over .300 with no great home run record. That came later. Fraah Frtseh was mm terror whea he broke late Giant ranks, right out of Fordham la 1919. la 54 games that season with the Giants he hit aaly JEN. Not so hot for a reside, evea one fust out of eoUege. But MeGraw still had full faith la him and the Fordham Flash mured ap to Jtm. A year later, la 1181, be was ap to .341, windlag up as one of the great seeoad basemea of all time. Maybe not the greatest but Develop New Sjil-- Of Ifeying Vegetable* A revolutionary new method of drying fruits and vegetables, which promises to add substantially to our supply of preserved foods, has Just been developed and is known at anhydration. . "Anhydrous" refers to the nearly moisture-free final condition of the foods as the con* rumer receives them, rather than to (he process b7 which the result is attained. The new process, invented and developed by Clarence Birdseye, who also gave us quick-frozen foods, differs from earlier drying processes In that it is much more rapid, averaging 1% hours instead of 18. As a result, the attractive appearance of fresh food can reported!* be retained and the foods can be rapidly rehydrated. Since foods dried by this process require no soaking and a minumum of cooking (carrots' need be boiled only 6 to 8 minutes), the nutritive value and the flavor compare favorably with cooked fresh produce. Whereas by older drying processes the carrots, potatoes, apples or other foods were arranged in thin layers on trays or a belt, over which warm dry air was passed. In the anhydrating process pieces of foods are dried throughout by a combination of conduction, convection, and infrared radiant heat. This mass attack by all kinds of heat at once avoids long exposure or scorching, and is said to insure adequate dry* iag without "case-hardening." Fish Protein So«r*e For Mii A Building Fish protein is oft hijh quality for building aanndd maintaining strong muscles and promoting growth, and seafood also furnishes varying amounta of curtain minerals and vitamins. r Fish is delicately flavored and cooking should bring out this flavor. The seasoning should enhance and not overpqwer this flavor. Fish cooks quickly, because connective tissue is small in amount. Overcooking, * or cooking at too high a temperature, dries out the fish and Roughens it. As a rule fat fish are preferred for baking and broiling and lean for "boiling," steaming or making chowders. During the years of fat shortage the housewives learned that broiled fish is an acceptable substitute for deep-fried fish and so broiling continues popular.

Remaining in the overtime Harvard intercepted a KC pass in the bade court and with a wild, desperate heave down-court the ball settled ni the hands of Moede, the Harvard center, who pushed the ball up and through the net to win the game and the title for his team. Successful Tournament The Wbodstock K of C's, host of the tourney, reported in some columns as one of the weaker teams in the county, displayed some good basketball in beating McHenry and Algonquin and had a great chance to win tiie title, but tossed it away in the final reports the eessfol sad looks U season when they can ag the simon pares of county i to congregate at St. Mary's gj i sium for some more of that < j basketball.

The plant food is then worked into the top inch or two of seedbed. A plant food spreader, if available, applies the plant food evenly and quickly. If a spreader is not available, apply half of-the plant food crosswise and the other , half lengthwise, to more even distribution. •Old Grog* A glass of grog is as familiar as the navy, and the way the drink got its name is an example of the sense of humor of sailors the world over. Back in 1745, the English admiral, Edward Vernon, deckled the straight nun his men were drinking was a little too potent. He ordered that all shipyard liquor be diluted with water. The result was, to say the least, unpleasing to sailors They christened the watery stuff "grog" in ridicule of the admiral, who was called "Old Grog" because of the grogan cloak he always wore--wfcether in port or at 4m Enjojfed seeing a part of the Girls' Basketball Tournament at the high school Friday night. The Freshmen TBADE-MABK ROUGH It takes a tough jacket to resist rough play. You won't have to caution your boy against hard play if he wears a WINDBREAKER, because this famous jacket can take hard knocks. McGEE'S -•? i. Hank Greenberg batted only .214 with Hartford in 1930. He moved up to .290 with Beaumont in 1932. But he reached .301 with Detroit in 1933. The greatest pitching rookie that I recall was Grover Cleveland Alexander. Reporting from Syracuse to the lowly Phillies in 1911, Alex won 28 games his first year. He was a rookie you dream about. Among the all-time rookies K flad that Chaek Kleia of the Phillies. L*s Gehrig of the Yankees aad Jimmy Foxx of the Athletics were around the top possibly the best. They begaa tearing dowa fosses shortly after arrival. The year 19M had its full share of exeeptioaal rookies, Including Del Eaals of toe Phillies, Furlllo, Whitmaa aad Edward of the Dodgers. "The second year is the big test," Frank FriscH Ifcells me. "That's the . test for the hot rookie and the young fellow moving up. Good rookies often fold up after a good first year. They take too much for granted. Some slower starters can press them a mile in the second season. Smarter fellows with more hustle." This new season may be packed witti exceptional rookies, facing G.I. veterans who were not too hot last year. It will be an interesting study to see how they come along. The Top for 1947 A correspondent has asked us to forecast sport's top name of the year for 1947. What was sport's top name for 1946--Joe Louis, Eddie Dyer, Leo Durocher, Bob Feller, Stan Musial, Ted Williams, Hank Greenberg, Armed, Assault, Red Blaik, Frank Leahy, Jack Kramer, Ben Hogan, Eddie Arcaro, Bob Waterfield, Charlie Trippi, Davis and Blanchard, Joe Cronin? Suppose you try to pick a name from this list. There was certainly ao Babe Bath around last season. There was ao Ty Cobb. There was ao Jack Dumpsey. There was ao Jim Thorpe, no Kaute Boekae, ao Bobby Jones mad ao Walter Hagea. My vote for 1946 would go to Stan Musial, the best all-around baseball player--Glenn Davis, the best all-around football player--Assault, the best horse, and Ben Hogan, the best golfer. It takes the high marie of competition to make a top performer and Musial, Davis, Assault and Hogan took the lead. New evidence that penicillin may be of tremendous value in coping with one of the dairy farmer's worst problems--mastitis--has oeen reported recently in a bulletin by the American Veterinary Medical association. In some areas mastitis is reducing milk production in 50 per cent of the dairy herds, so new veterinary developments against tills disease are of far-reaching importance to the farmer. Research work with penicillin indicates that it is useful in combating both types of mastitis--the strep type and the staph type. It has also been found that penicillin is generally lass irritating to the delicate udder ti than .products-Which have "been heretofore against mastitis.
