CLEVELAND IS HANDED WORST SEASON DEFEAT Red Sox Trounce Indians, I l-l; National Rained Out New York. June 4. — (U.B — A Wholly unesported turn of events the past t*n day* has transformed the American league pennant race into a dins don*, every-man-for-bim-«alf brawl with sis dubs raised up in the embroßllo. Cleveland, which threatened to mn off with the la*, has tamed sour The Indian* have dropped 8 out of their last 1" Names If It hadn't been for Bob Feller, the tribe might have lost ten in a row. Their pitchin* staff has been shot full of holes and this has completely demoralised the entire club. The *ap from first to siith place Is only 4 Kames. The seventhplace Browns. 11 ’•» sanies from the top are as near the American league lead as the fourth place Beds In the National league. Even the Browns, under their new leader. Luke Sewell. might edge their way into the pennant scrap They've won three straight and seem to be coming. only U’aahingtou seems out of It and improved pitchin* might even give the Senators a shot In the arm. This scrambled state of affairs has resulted from the unexpected strength shown by the White Mos, Athletic* and Bed Box. The White Sox are only one same out of first place and have consistently shown the league's best pitching. Even more surprising is the Athletics' drive, which has netted them 14 of their last 18 games. The A's triple d the White Box yesterday. 9-8. preventing them from

Military experts have long contended that persistent air utacks or bombardment from the big guns known to be established aero** the Gibraltar straits would make the base untenable for large warships They maintain that Gibraltar could be rendered virtually useless to the British under such attacks even though the fortress Itself presumably could hold out indefinitely. It was not believed that th* British western Mediterranean fleet which apparently comprlsea one hattleriilp. two aircraft carriers. and cruiser, destroyer and submarine squadrons, was at Gibraltar at the time of the attack. Dispatches from La Linea. just across the Spanish line from the fortress, said yesterday that the fleet had left it* anchorage. British naval power In the Mediterranean. already badly haltered by tho pounding of the luftwaffe around Crete, would find it dlffi- ( cult, if not impossible, to maintain Itself in the Mediterranean if persistent air attack* made Gibraltar and Alexandria untenable. There was no specific development In regard to the middle eastern situation or Syria but a* always in interval* between military campaigns. Europe seethed with rumors of every variety, many obviously set adrift hy axis propagandists a* part of the customary war of nerve*. t Many of these had to do with vague suggestions of some kind of axis peace gesture, possibly coupled with a naxla plan for complete organisation of Europe upon a quasi-peacetime basis. Vichy, always a center of rumors was the chief point of the peace talk, some of ft doubtless springing from wishful French desires for the war to end so that Franc* might enjoy some relaxation of th* pressure which aqueesea her from both belligerent camps. However, there was nothing al either Berlin or Mendon to give any credence to th* Vichy rumor*. It was plain that France was th* center of a rapidly deepening crisis in her relationship with the axle and Britain and the United State*. .Matshal Henri Philippe Petain met with his council of minister* and virtually the full slate of French colonial commander*, including Gen.

Th.- Vichy censorship was so tight that there was little indication what. If any, decisions were taken by Petain and hi sadviser*.

I am planning on staying on the farm The study of agriculture has helped me In many ways. I shall give some of the items which I Intend to put into practical use in the futre. An important Item la keeping records on a farm. It la profitable to keep records on llvrotock as well as on crops. The proper rotation of te crop* will Improve soil and crop production. A good rotatin to follow I* our community is corn, oats, wheal, and a legume. Record* are an essential art of feeding and selling of animals. If a record on dairy cows is kept, one know* how much to feed her so as to produce the most. When selling a dairy cow It can be determined by the record if she is a good cow. The testing of milk will tell you the amount of butterfat she produces. which will be recorded with the amount of milk she produce*. The testing will also tell the farmer the proper amount of milk to

' feed hia calves. The milk fed to calves should not exceed 3 to 4 percent butterfat. The profit of a cow can be determined by the amount of butterfat which the cow produces By keeping records on cow*, one can tell the time of freshening. which should be the latter part of Neptember and beginning of October, because the prices of milk and cream are higher in the winter months. Keeping records on hogs, tells you how much profit you are making and the amount of feed it takes to fatten a hog. By thia you can determine bow much feed you must produce for all livestock. A necessary point in hog raising is proper fencing of the farm, so you can put the hogs on any field where legumes are grown. The small houses, which can be moved to the pasture field for prolific sow*. A good ration is also a necessary Item in feeding hogs. Feed may be saved by feeding the proper amount of proteins and concentrate*. which are necessary. Hogs can be fattened sooner for market than any other animal. The hog Is more prolific than any other animals. Changing the location of the hog* every two years will help keep diseases under control. Lea* capital Is needed to get a start in swine raising. In poultry it is necessary to have trap neats no you can keep record* on each chicken. The flock should be culled, because there may be | loafers hi flock, and if they are properly culled the flock will produce sa much, on less feed. A good ration is essential, because If the flock la not properly fed. lower production of eggs are found, which 1 will bring about a loss. > I I think I would like to have pure : bred animuls. because one can ’, more easily sell a pure bred ani--1 mal than a grade animal, and a i much higher price ia received for i the pure bred. Generally the pure t bred animals have records with I. them so you can tell the ability of - the animal. i —lrvin Hoffman. - — ■■<>■■ i -In 1803 only 45.000 automdblles • were manufactured In the U.

Denny Nhute the veteran campalgner from Chicago, was just another of the 143 stars In the fleld when he stepped to the first tee at | Colonial, but when he finished with I bl* one-under-psr 48. he stood alone Hhute went around early, und throughout the day many shot at his mark but none achieved It. He was one over par on the first nine, but he wrote off taut deficit with two birdies and seven par* on the back side, the nine that wrecked the hopes of many Behind Nhn’e ready to step Into the lead should he falter, were U J.

Both Harrison and Gheui put together round* of 35-35 and only a great rally on th* last three hole* put Gbexxl In th* par-equalling bracket. He was two over going to the 14lh. but be dropped a 25 foot putt there for his birdie two and on the home hole he chipped one hi (rom the fringe for a birdie three.
