STARS MEET IN GAME TUESDAY All-Star Major League Teams Will ('lash At New York New Y,ork. July 9 (U.R. -Messrs. Bill Terry and Joe Cronin, master minds of the all-star big league teams which perform tomorrow ut the Poto Ground!, go Into separate huddles tonight with assistant master minds to dope out tactics against a string of hitters averaging between .310 and .402. A tew years back the Yankees had tive batters —Coombs, Koenig. Huth. Gehrig and Lazzeri who wTre dubbed murderers' row, on account of the mental effect they had on pitchers. These lads would appear about as menacing as teachers petS"ln a boys' correction home compared to the list of killers to take their stances before Lefty Gomez and Carl Hubbell. A rotffth idea may be had from the following figures: Mr. Gomez, must pitch to Frankie Frisch, whose batting average is .310; Pie j Traynor, a light hitter, .352. and Chuck Klein, one of the leading l home run boys who bats a bare ■ .316. The second inning, if Mr Gomez is very lucky, he will be re- j qutred to bowl for Mel Ott, hitting I .344. Wally Berger, a comparative j weakling who bats only .316. and | Dobbering William Terry, whose | official figure is .368. After that he can relax against Arky Vaughan. .360. and Gabby Hartnett .322 and Herr Hubbell, who hits only .217. Following that, Senor Gomez will be ready to quit if things have gone well, and even more ready to qnit if things have not gone well. Without going into harrowing details, the task assigned to Herr Hubbell of the Giants, who toes off for the National leaguers, is even more complicated. He must get out, if possible, Charlie Cfehringer, .382; Heinie Manush, .402; Babe Ruth — the poor fellow is down to .294, but when he hits them they stay hit. Lou Gehrig. .369; Frank Higgins, .355; Al Simmons. .343, and Joe Cronin himself, the lightest batter in either start-

BOSTON RED SOX IN THIRD PLACE Red Sox Are Gradually Gaining Strength; Win Two Games N.w York. July 9 -(U.R) Connie Mack warned the rest of the American league some weeks back | that the Boston Red Sox were I very much in the race, Boston was in sixth place at the time. Now the Red Sox are in third, close herding the leaders a 1 scant half dozen games behind the Yankees and moving along at a .600 clip. Yesterday the Bostonians won their last two games of the series with Philadelphia making it two straight series, having beaten the ' Yankees last week. They won four out of five against the Athle ics and two out of three against the Yanks. A group of ex-Yankees are helping to make tilings hum in the hub camp. Dusty Rhodes is clicking again, and Bill Werber i land Lyn Lary. both tinned out of i New York, are picking up hits, I regularly. The fact that Leftv I Grove has won only four games ! this year is all that keeps Boston I from being a half dozen gamesj higher—which would be on top. Boston beat the Athletics in the series Sunday, 7-4 and 7-2. Jimmy . Foxx hit two homers, raising his' total to 26 and breaking up a ■ three-way tie with his teammate. Bob Johnson, and Lou Gehrig. New York held its half-game margin over Detroit, heating the Senators. 6-3, behind Jimmy Deshone. Babe Ruth hit his 14tb I homer, making a grand total of I i 699 on the 20'h anniversary of his i start in the big time. Detroit whipped St. Louis, 5-4. I sweeping the series, on a three- ' run rally in the ninth. Melillo's 1 wild threw to Hemsley let in two : runs. Cleveland took a double header I from Chicago. 5-1 and 10-5. Willis' Hublln beat Sad Sam Jones in a hurling duel in the first. The Giants gained a half game . on the Cubs, beating Brooklyn. 2-0. with Fat Freddy Fitzsipimons hurling a three-hit shutout, while I Chicago was dropping the opener to Pittsburgh. The Pirates won the first game. i 11-4, with a six-run assault on I Bill Lee in the sixth after he had pitched two-hit ball for five innings. Gabby Hartnett's homer with two on helped Jim Weaver win the nightcap. 12-3. the Cubs chalking up eight runs in the first, two innings. Dizzy Dean of St. Louis beat Cincinnati. 6-1. in the opener, fan-, ning ten, walking one and giving only seven hits.

— *~COUNTY AGENT’S * i COLUMN I Reports from many Indiana counties received at Purdue University ' indicate that the protracted drought, has resulted in the loss of a large part of the new seedirgs of grasses ’ and clovers where nurse trope were used. It is pointed out that thel loss of new seedings of grasses and ■ clovers will affect next year's hay ' and pasture supply, and farmers must give consideration to crops i that may safely be seeded yet this I summer as satisfactory substitutes. - . If moisture conditions become I favorable, the situation may be i | corrected by seeding a’falfa. or the , clovers, in oats or wheat stubble ; on soils that are not too acid, according to the Agronomy Department of Purdue. Alfalfa, according to the Purdue specialists, is muth | more satisfactory for late summer | seeding on sweet soils that the clo- 1 vers, such as red, alsike. mammoth or sweet clover. However, the lat- : ter crops may produce good stands 1 i that winter over if soil conditions - permit of their seeing by August 1.1 1Abandoned oats fields, oats stub- i ble, contract acres or wheat stubble may all be used for alfalfa where-! ever the soil can be disked. Acidity j tests should first be made of all I such fields before spending money ' for seed or time in seed bed pre- ■ paration. Continuous failures of 1 red, alsike or mammoth clovers are : proof that the soil is too acid for I alfalfa. However, if sweet clover' has grown wll on the soil in question, it is evidence that it is sweet, ' enough for alfalfa. Only productive i soils should be seeded to alfalfa, unless fertilizer or manure is used. Soils which test acid should be limed as soon as possible and preferably ahead of disking. Gultipack-; ing a-nd harrowing following disking should put the soil in fine condition for alfalfa. If weeds are serious in the stubble, plowing is pre-, ferable to disking. From 12 to 15 pounds of Northwestern grown common alfalfa or 8 to 10 pounds of blue tak certified Grimm should be seeded per acre. Hardy cominom alfalfa will be cheaper and just as satisfactory where intended for short rotations.' ■ noculation for alfalfa where this crop or sweet clover has not been grown previously is very important. A moist commercial culture is preferred. Alfalfa responded readily to good fertility and on most unmanured, upland soils it will pay to use both phosphate and potash in equal portions. From 100 to 200 pounds of 0-20-2 T or equivalet amounts of similar analysis, depending on the produ tivity of the soil, should be used. Unless it carries weed seed, manure is also very satifactory as a fertilizer. Seeding in corn at the last culti-; vat ion is a less satisfactory way to seed alfalfa, although it has proven I 'successful under ideal soil condii tions. Sweet clover is the legume , most commonly used from seeding [ in the corn at the last cultivation. | I It is used mainly as a soil improve I

(Pat) Reilly, 26 year old messenger boy for the John Dillinger gang, pleaded not guilty today to a charge of conspiracy to harbor Dillinger when he was arraigned before Federal Judge M. M. Joyce. Reilly was indicted April 28 by a federal grand jury which acted on information that he aided Dillinger. who was wounded. Reilly was charged with taking the Indiana outlaw to Dr. N. G. Mortensen former city health officer, for treatment on March 14. Reilly's bail was reduced to $20,000 and no date was set for his trial, which will probably be he'd during the fall term of federal court. 0 Marriage Good —and Howe Salinas, Cal.— (U.R> — How good will be the marriage? That’s a question only time will tell, but tourthouse attaches here admitted the couple who obtained the marriage license were Good — and Howe. In fact, theirs was a record in Monterey County.
