MAJOR LEAGUE SEASONSWILL OPEN TUESDAY United FressWriter Picks Yankees. Cubs As Winners Now York. Apr. 13 -(U.R>—A long time ago when Abner Boubleday I first invented baseball, he called a companion aside and said: "Get yourself a good pitcher and i you'll have a winning team." 1 The same still goes today —97 years after the first baseball game was played in Cooperatown, N. Y. The 1936 pennant races will open tomorrow in the major leagues and . the two pennant winners will be 'the teams with the best pitching staffs. Those two teams are the Chicago Cubs in the National league and the New Y’ork Yankees in the American league, in the opinion of this observer. The National league will be a 2club race between the Cubs and th<> St. lamis Cardinals. No other , team will make a serious bid for the pennant. The Cubs will win out with a driving finish in September—not a 21-game winning streak such as brought them Nst ' year’s laurels, but a sustained drive that will beat the Curds to the wire. The American league will see a dinig-dong battle between four clubs —the Tigers. Yankees, Indians. and Red Sox. The whole race hinges on “ifs." It'll be the most thrilling race since the Yanks and Browns came down the stretch neck and neck ten years ago. One bad pitch might decide the pennant. One bonehead play might make a champion out of the othter | team. The Yanks will win, as old Ab-1 ner Doubleday said, because they j have the best pitching staff. They had the best ptiching staff last year but didn't win because of a combination of adversities that befell them in the dog days of September. Pitchers can't win with an infield full of holes. The earned runs averages show the Yanks were on top with .360. Lefty Gomez, who had ~e worst year in his career in the matter of games won and lost, was the fifth best pitcher in the league in earned runs. That was last year. This year they'll be still better. Gomez. Pearson. Broaca, Ruffing, and Tamulis will carry the big pitching load for the Yanks and will be assisted by Brown, Malone. Hadley. Murphy and Sandra. No

I-- ■ - Dainty Lady Petunia, Award of Merit Selection for 1936 in petunias is introduced to the gardening public. Various new shades of rose, pink, blue and crimson may be expected from season to season, but 1936 brings a new hue, distinct in the petunia color range—delicate golden yellow. It is called Dainty Lady, and was' given an All-American Award of Merit in the 1936 trials. This new introduction is believed to be the first really yellow petunia, ever produced. It has taken the grower ten years of careful selection to fit it for amateur use. During this time, the first suggestion of yellow gradual-

other American league club can match that staff when the heat is on in August and September. The two-time champion Tigers won’t crack up. They’ll make a race of it and get beaten out by a I better club. Their luck won’t hold 1 out for the third year. The Indians will push the Tigers for sec--1 ond place. They might win the I pennant with a catcher like Cochrane or Hemsley of the Browns. They have a pennant-winning pitching staff ut haven’t the receiver i to handle it. The Boston Red Sox have improved their club offensively but ; haven't helped the pitching staff, i Don’t forget what old Abner said in 1839: “Get yourself a good pitcher.” The Sox have added Marcum. Look at his record. He was 30th in earned runs last year. It's still up to Grove and Ferrell. The Cubs will beat off all the challengers with Warneke. considered by many competent critics to be the greatest pitcher in either league, Bill Lee. Lary French, Charley Root and Tex Carleton. What help they need they'll get from Mike Kowalik. Roy Henshaw, Clyde Shoun and Clay Bryant. That hunch will win 96 games, good enough to take the flag. II Sunday Funerals Banned ■ Sidney.

ly deepened. There is no more inviting sight than a bed of petunias, whose I unique mreit is that they flower constantly without a letup until frost kills them in the fall. They 1 are always fresh and attractive and they are in such great variety —from the double sorts which are frequently grown as pot plants as well as in the garden, including those fringed and ruffled, largeflowered onee, to the single trailing or border forms which may be seen growing on the hillside and along the highways where they receive so little attention. Dainty Lady is a neat, compact, semi-dwarf flower, and exceedingly free flowering, bearing generous quantities of the mediumsized, delicately fringed light aolden yellow flowers throughout the summer months. Seed is very small, and if it had wings like the dandelion, you’d I have a fine time sowing on a win!dy day. As it is, it is difficult to tow thinly, and a mixture of sand the seed helps to spread it evenly. Seed is best sown in flats, because of its size and slow germination. Fill a flat with a good loamy garden soil, press and smooth the surface. Sow in drills Ito 2 inches apart and press seed into the soil. Kept thoroughly moist, but not wet, the seeds will germinate readily and if grown in the eunshine they will develop into plants in a short time.
