Feller Tosses Brilliant Win ForCleveland NEW YORKt UP — The deal that brought pitcher Art man to the Indians from Detroit was paying Its biggest dividend today in the renewed effectiveness-; of that masterful old right hander Bobby Feller. _LSihce Houtteman joined the club to become another regular starter, Feller has gotten more than his usual rest between turns and has eolne up with three straight victories. That gives Manager Al Lopez five starters with hte big three of Mike Garcia, Bob Lpmon and Early Wynn, as the Indians near the stretch and the time when every pilot is searching for all the front line pitching he can get. Feiier hurled his third victory in a row Friday night, a sparkling five-hit 3-0 shutout against the Wbße Sox in 10 innings but the Indians could gain only; a split in the battle for second place as Chicago cuffed starter Mike Garcia and assorted throwers for a 16-5 victory in the second game. That left Chicago 5% games behind the Yankees in second place and Cleveland six games behind in third, place. The Yankees gained on both clubs with a 6-1 victory over Washington as lefty Ed Lopat won his ninth game against one loss. The Red Sox edged the Athletics 3-2 in 12 innings and the Browns topped the Tigers 8-4. In the National league, ! Sal Maglte of the Giants lathered the Dodgers for the second time in less than a week with a sMhit 6-1 decision that cut Brooklyn’s first-place lead to two games over Milwaukee. The Braves topped the Cardinals, 5-2, on Warren Spajin’s six-hit job. The Phils clubbe’d the Pirates 133 and Cincinnati beat Chicago 6-0 on Ken Raffensherger’s six-hitter then lost 4-3. j Feller held off ;Chicago until the Indians could break loose in the 10th on Dale Mitchell’s second double, a walk, Al Rosen’s single and a two-run single by Luke Easter. Chicago climaxed its second game scoring with a 10-run rally in the seventh when 13 men went to the plate, Minnie Minoso’s three-run homer wvis the big blow. Rosen hit hia 22nd homer with twn aboard in a losing game. Lopat rationed 10 hits and Irv Noren, Don Bollweg and Yogi Berra each backed him up with, homers in the Yankee triumph over Bob Porterfield, who had shut them out last Sunday. Jim Piersail, who tied up the game with, a homer in the ninth, walked with the bases loaded to force home the winning run for Ellis Kinder of the Red Sox, who pitched three hitless relief innings at .the finish. Maglie again demonstrated to the skeptical Charley Dressen* that he still has plenty of stuff as j he struck out six and missed a shutout only when Roy Campanella hit his 22nd home run to extend Brooklyn’s record home run streak to 24 games, one short of the mhjor league mark set by the 1941 Yankees. Spahn put Milwaukee back in close range of Brooklyn with his 11th victory as Kd Mathews hit a two-run homer to regain the major league lead with 26. Curt Simmons pitched ball to win a ragged game in? which the Phils made six errors and the Pirates four. There were 12 walks, five by Simmons and seven by Pittsburgh throwers. ■/ .1. ' Ralph Kiner’s 19th homer set fire to a four-run rally that clinched Chicago’s second game victory after Raffensberger turned in his first shutout for Cincinnati in the opener. Cincy catcher Andy Seininick hit homers in each game. ■ r ' If you nave something to eel) or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Add. it brings results.

Farm Crop Output To Be 3rd Largest ! Growing Surpluses v Plague Secretary r WASHINGTON, UP 4-Secretoyy of-agriculture Ezra T. Benson to- ! day was boxed in between crop failures on the one hand and, growing surpluses on the other with no easy solution for either. Benson was in Texas inspecting the drought-stricken southwest with President Eisenhower Friday when his department issued its first general crop report of the year. In spite off the drought, the proU iem Benson was wrestling with at the moment, the report predicted that national farm output thisyear wotild be the third largest in history—the second largest in the case of corn. ! The crop reporting board said “good to excellent” prospects in •much of the principal agricultural areas of the country could offset drought losses as far as national sujpply is concerned. Big crops would seem to be good news. But because they will be piling up on top of larfce supplies still left over from previous years’ harvets —last year farmers turned out the second biggest crop on record —they spell only trouble for the administration. 1 Howard H. Gordon; chief pt the production and marketing istrati'on, summoned up the sentiment when he said with a sign, "it- really looks kind of discouraging.’’ Gordon said he doesn’t know if the department “can avoid” clamping controls on next year’s corn crop as well to turn oft surpluses of the key feed grain. But he said it’s “not likely” they will “resort to” marketing quotas like those in prospect for wheat and cotton. Instead, if need be, Only acreage allotments would be used as they last were In 1950.

The Illinois prediction, however, wgs-scarcely 1,000.000 bushels higher than last year. .The agriculture department a>o r raised; by nearly 4,000,000 the estimate of the winter wheat crop, now being harvested. The estimate is 41,652,000 bushels, compared with a June estimate pt 37,730.000 and a 1952 output 6t 36,960,000 bushels.
