Batting Title Battles Move To Spotlight By FRED DOWN United Pre»s Sports Writer Ted Williams' personal duel with Mickey Mantle and a fiveman battle for the Nati o n al League batting championship take over the spotlight today when the major league pennant races resume. The races themselves were shoved somewhat into the background with both the New York Yankees and Milwaukee Braves riding the crest of 54-game leads over their closest pursuers. Both

I have reached a point where the team they have most to fear is themselves. The various contenders for the batting titles, however, seem to have just begun to fight. The American League struggle is the more spectacular because Williams, the Boston Red Sox’ 39-year-old perfectionist, and Mantle, the Yankees' 25-year-old nature boy, seem destined to fight it out in the rarifled atmosphere of .300. When they face each other in Boston tonight, Williams will start with an eight - point edge — .387 to .379—and it could be that the eventual winner will have to hit .400. Williams has been hitting at an amazing .500-clip since the July 11 All-Star Game and there are no signs that be will taper off sharply in the remaining 44 games of the season. He is gunning for his fifth batting title with an average that he has' topped only once in a full season—in 1941 when he hit

> .406. i Mantle, meanwhile, has been staging a spectacular drive of his , own with a .565 average for his , last 14 games. He is gunning for the unprecedented feat of winning , (two triple crowns in succession , and with 123 walks is a good bet , to wipe out Babe Ruth's season mark of 170. Defending champion Hank Aaron of the Milwaukee Braves is the current National League leader at .338 with 36-year-old Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals next at .332, shortstop Dick Groat of the Pittsburgh Pirates third at .330 , and Willie May» of the New York Giants and Frank Robinson of tbe Cincinnati Redlegs tied for fourth ■t .329.

: Major League Homer ’ ; Production Is Off [ ,J *' ' ' NEW YORK (UP) — Major 1 league home run production is off ' 6.18 per cent this year with only six of the 16 teams showing an increase over their totals at a corresponding point of the 1956 season. A United Press survey revealed today that the National League’s sluggers have hit 4.4 per cent fewer homers this year and that American League home run output is off 8.2 per cent. The figures are based on 441 games played in the NL and 439 in the AL both this season and last. The league - leading Milwaukee Braves, the St. Louis Cardinals, the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Giants show increases in the National League but only the Kansas City Athletics and Boston Red Sox are hitting-more homers than last year in the AL. The Braves and Cincinnati Redlegs top the majors with 136 home runs each. That figure represents an increase of eight homers for the Braves compared to their first 110 games in 1956 while it means a loss of 22 for the Redlegs, who hit 158 in their first 110 I

games last year. The most amazing increase in the majors has been accomplished by the Athletics, who have increased their home run production by 55 per cent. In 108 games last season the Athletics hit only 79 homers—4s fewer than they hit in their first 108'games this year! The world champion New York Yankees —- long synonomous with the home run—have dropped off a surprising 24.2 per cent in homer production. They had hit 149 in 110 games last year but show only, 113 this year for the same number of games. At that, the Athletics are the only team which has hit more. Zulueta Is Winner In Comeback Fight NEW YORK (UP) — Orlando Zulueta, heartened by his first comeback victory, said today, “Now I'm ready to fight seriously for another shot at the lightweight title.” Cuban Orlando and manager Hymie Wallman were satisfied with the speed and ease of movement he displayed while winning a unanimous decision over unranked Frankie Ippolito of New York in their television 10-round-er at St. Nicholas Arena Monday night.

RURAL YOUTH MEMBERS examined one of 180 Master Mix formulas as they toured the Central Soya plant recently. Pictured above, on the right are Carl Bluhm, president of the rural youth, and Art Burris, safety director of the company, who acted as host for the tour. On the left, Kathleen Boerger, of Root township, looks on as Alan Miller examines some of the feed. The group visited the different phases of work in the plant, and then held a meeting in one of the company rooms.—(Staff Photo)

A tour of the Central Soya company plant in Decatur was enjoyed recently by 50 members of the Adams county rural youth. Art Burris, Central Soya safety director, conducted a two-hour tour through the feed research division, the silo-loading department, the feed-sacking operation, and ended up with an explanation of the solvent method of extracting soybean oil. Jim Myers, feed research superintendent, showed the group through the research department, where the 181 feed formulas prepared 215 different ways are tested. The poultry flock was the first visited. Here were six pens of chickens. Two pens tested slat floors at double the population of two pens with ordinary lifter floors. A fifth pen had a litter floor with a double population, and the sixth a slat floor with a single population. About 2.5 feet per bird were allowed in the slat floor pens. The birds were debeaked to prevent picking at each other. , The production, livability, and general condition of the birds are checked for six months to a year to determine what feed is best for which kind of floor. Chemicals are kept in the dropping pits to keep down the odor. In the calf barn, a cheap milk replacer is being tested to raise dairy calves to 200 pounds in eight weeks. Holstein and Brown Swiss calves are being tested at the present time. Male calves purchased locally from registered herds are used. In another department, chickens in single cages are being used in an experiment to show what type feeds influence the color of egg yolks. Rabbits and rats are used in growth tests, because of their short growth cycle. Turkeys are now being tested to see if protein requirements for young males and females differ. In another series of tests, 16 lots of broilers are weighed at four, eight and nine weeks. The company is presently testing feeds which bring broilers to 3% to 3tfe pounds in nine weeks. Several formulas are being tested. It takes a staff of about 20 persons, including technical workers to run the test farm, Myers said. In the broiler house the litter has not been changed for IMs years, in order to test the adaptability of '.he chickens. Only the crusted droppings around the feed trough are removed. Bacteria in the old litter helps destroy the droppings. The palatability of dog food is tested on a kennel of beagle hounds. These dogs have noses 17 times more sensitive than the human nose, and must be fed very carefully. From the feed research department the group went past the huge silos where 107 million bushels of soybeans are elevated annually. Burris pointed out that -25,000 trucks dumped beans at the Soya company Last year, lining up sometimes the length of North Second street to the stoplight at Monroe, and around the corner to the Community Center on U. S. highway 224. Farmers try all sorts of tricks to boost the weight of their beans. Sometimes they line their trucks with dirt, he said, and try to sell two or three bushels of dirt to the Soya at the price of beans. Other times they have their entire family ride in the cab of the truck over the weighing station, and then get out and walk up the road before the empty truck is weighed. The beans in any of the silos may be turned over, Burris mentioned, by dropping them onto an endless belt which runs to the center of the silo system, then up an elevator-like arrangement, then back over the same silos at the top. - The group was then conducted through the packaging department. Here all the raw feed materials, including the basic protein ration which is made from the spent soybean flakes following the extraction of the oil, are carried in auger conveyors through openings set for the particular feed formula'being

mixed, and are sacked, sewn shut, and then taken to storerooms. In one operation, 13 sacks of feed are filled in a minute. Because of the explosive nature of the hexane solvent used, guests of the Central Soya are not taken through the solvent plant, but the operation is explained by a schematic drawing of a solvent plant. The clean soybeans are dried, then passed through three cracking rolls, then through a live steam “conditioner” and flaked on rolls, much like a rolling pin flattens a pie crust. Each flake must be between .0008 and .0010 inches in thickness to keep the fibre out of the oil. In the extracting operation. 38 (free-swinging baskets on a huge five-story high ferris-wheel arrangement, are filled with bean flakes. Hexane is then sprayed on the beans, and it drips through the perforated baskets in sequence, and is collected in the bottom of the plant. This is called half-mis-cella .and is repumped over fresh bean flakes to form fuU-miscella. The spent flakes are dumped from the buckets, and “toasted" by like steam to remove the solvent, which is then reused.
