Why guess? Have your soil sampled and tested free by A.A.C. Soil Service How much fertilizer will your crop need? You can't expect to get a high yield on next year’s crop unless there is enough plant food available in your soil. But guessing how much fertilizer your soil needs ‘ to grow that big crop is risky business. You can eliminate this risk by taking advantage of the free A. A.C. Soil Service. Guided by the size and topography of your field, an A.A.C. fieldman will take an adequate number of borings for s good soil sample. He’ll record a complete and accurate crop history of the field, too. Then the carefully marked sample will be mailed to the nearest A.A.C. laboratory where trained chemists will analyze it to find out how much available plant food it contains. Tests will also* be run to determine soil pH. Results and field history will then bs studied carefully by A.A.C. agronomists familiar with farm practices in your area. In a few weeks you’ll receive a complete report of the fertility level of the field, with soiind, practical advice oh how and when to fertilize and lime to grow a better crop. Recommendations will be made for your particular crop and toil. This report can take the guett out of buying fertilizer. Let A.A.C.

Braves Given

Royal Welcome By Milwaukee MILWAUKEE (UP) — The Milwaukee Braves, welcomed home in red carpet style by 150,000 persons, talked today about sweeping the next three games with the New York Yankees and “winding up" the World Series here'. The players and manager Fred Haney, still feeling the effects of their 4-2 victory that evened the Series at a game apiece Thursday were given a thrilling reception Thursday night. At least 6,000 persons met them at Gen. Mitchell Field where Haney told newsmen in an unusual' bit of boldness by the usually cautious skipper: "I’m very enthusiastic and we’ll wind it up here." The players walked on a red carpet that was rolled up to their big plane as it landed and then boarded open convertibles for a 90-minute ride through the downtown area where crowds, sometimes five deep, shouted words of encouragement and toasted them |in beer. You'd think it was a wedding," said one woman about the scene at the airport. A member of the Braves Boosters rushed up to shortstop Johnny Logan, who hit a homer Thursday, and gave him a pair of cuff links. Lew Burdette, who held the Yankees to seven hits, also got a pair of cuff links and Haney and Red Schoendienst were given wrist watches. I Haney's eyes twinkled as he came down the ramp. He didn't hedge one bit when a newsman asked him if he thought his team could wrap up the series in the three games that start here Saturday. The players that followed him were just as confident, if not just a bit awed by the welcome—although they should be used to them by now. "We’ll kill ’em here,” said ace relief pitcher Don McMahon. *T don’t want to fly anymore so we better wind it up here,” said pitcher Gene Conley, who doesn’t like to fly because of chronic air sickness. Mayor Frank Zeidler was in the small group that,met,the players at the airplane ramp. He shook Haney’s hand and said he was confident the Brves will "bring the world’s championship to Milwaukee." Pitcher Bob Buhl, who is scheduled to pitch Saturday’s game, said he wasn’t at all worried the Yankees will hit his fast ball after facing the softer serves of Warren Spahn and Burdette. He said the entire team had "confidence it can win the series.” Shouts of "Three more Del” and "Let’s win it here” came from toe crowd at toe airport and along toe caravan route. ’Til never get over these things,” said Mrs. John Riddle, wife of toe Braves coach, as she stood near the plane looking at the people lining the airport terminal observation platform. "These people are wonderful. We just can't let them down," she said. _ Bowlina Scores *■ Major League W L Pts.

Six Os Mi/waufcee Orphans To Witness World Series Games MILWAUKEE (W - Thanks to Ernest Weinberger, St. Louis, Mo., six Milwaukee orphans will be able to see the World Series. Weinberger, the owner of a St. Louis novelty shop, received six bleacher seats but found he could not use them so be sent them to a local newspaper. He instructed the paper to give them to "some kids that would really appreciate them.” The children were selected from toe Lutheran Children’s Friends Society Home and from the Home for Dependent Children. Since being a youngster in Milwaukee is synonymous with being a Braves fan, the ones that get the tickets will undoubtedly add six more voices to the cheers for the Braves at County Stadium.

Buhl, Turley Staled To Hurl Saturday Game MILWAUKEE fUP)-The team which broke the longest reign in National League history took the World Series west for the first time in nine years today with an “even-money” chanee of putting the egg in Milwaukee's' beer by ending the New York Yankees’ Series dynasty. With Bob Buhl slated to oppose Bob. ’hurley in Saturday's third game. the first of three at Milwaukee’s County Stadium, the oddsmakers suddenly reversed their "line” on a Series that started with one of the dullest games in the classic’s history but "warmed up” Thursday in a wild 4-2 Milwaukee victory marked by beanballs and insinuations. Broadway bookmakers were still quoting the Yankees as "automatic” 7-5 choices to win the Series but the significant line was the "even money” one listed on Saturday’s third game. This in effect, means toe Braves are "even money" for the Series because if they win Saturday they'll have to be slight favorites, or 50-50 to take it all. One thing seemed certain: The old familiar pattern of Yankee World Series wins was about to be put to the test of a young, determined, hard-hitting team that is to play the pext three games in an atmosphere that the Yankees themselves have never experisneed. Yanks Face New Deal For, true as it is that the Braves have never experienced toe problems of vast Yankee Stadium, so if is also true that "their majesties” are about to experience something new in the wild enthusiasm of a city that has shattered every NL attendance record in the book, Buhl and Turley ar,e basically similar pitchers — low fast-ballers —who will have to keep toe ball low in’ a park with much shorter home run distances than the Yankee Stadium. Buhl, 29. posted an 18-7 record during the National League seasop while Turley, a 220 - pound giant, had a 13-6 season record. Manager Fred Haney is expected to make only one change in his Series lineup—late-season batting sensation Bob (Hurricane) Hazle replacing veteran Andy Pafko in right field. Hazle is the kid brought up, from Wichita who hit 526 tor three weeks and. wound up at .403 in one of toe most spectacular late - season developments of the year. Two Rookies To Start Manager Casey Stengel, "down to only 24 players” because Bill Skowron’s re-injured back has put him out of the Scries, is expected to return rookie Tony Kubek to left field and put rookie Jerry Lumpe at third base. This would keep five left - handed hitters in toe lineup without sacrificing defense —a luxury Stengel enjoys over all other major league managers. ' The big question mark, as the Series moved west, was when the power hitters of both clubs would break out. Neither Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra of the Yankees, nor Ed Mathews of the Braves has yet to explode toe long ball. Mantle is .286 with both his hits singles, Berra is l-for-7 and Mathews 0-for-6. Figuring that such power cannot be contained indefinitely the bookies' odds reflect the idea that the one thing the Braves might be able to do is outslug the Yankees. The first break in the Yankees’, supposedly invincible, Series armament appeared Thursday when the world champions committed two errors which helped pave the way for the Braves' triumph. Braves Take Advantage The first break came when Mantle faded back for Aaron’s second-inning fly only to let it fall over his head for a triple. The Braves promptly took advantage of this break when Joe Adcock singled to right center and went to second when Mantle juggled the ball. ’ Wes Covington's brilliant catch on Bobby Shantz choked off the Yankees’ rally in toe second inning and left the score tied at 1-1. Then Johnny Logan and Hank Bauer matched third-inning home tuns to set the stage for the Braves’ winning fourth-inning outburst. Joe Adcock and Andy Pafko singled to open the frame and then Covington looped his single over shortstop to bring in Adcock. Pafko went all the way around when Enos Slaughter’s throw went through Kubek for an error for the latter and thereafter Lew Burdette closed it out just

Wes Covington Is Second Game Star MILWAUKEE (UP)—Wes Covington, who was fitted for a pair of “goat’s horns” in the pre-World Series analysis, shaped up today as the Milwaukee Braves' “solid man." And you’ll have to pardon General Manager Frank Lane of the St. Louis Cardinals if he says. “I told you so” because Lane singled out the 205-pound native of Laurinburg. N.C., as a Milwaukee “sleeper" before the Series got underway. The 25-year-old Covington will go into the third game of the Series Saturday as the Braves' leading hitter with a .500 average and also has made the outstndlng defensive ply of the Series — his clutch back-handed grab of Bobby Shantz's liner in the second inning of Thursday’s 4-2 Milwaukee victory. “That catch was the turning point of the game.” said Milwaukee manager Fred Haney. ‘"lbe Yankees would have been in front, 2-1. if he hadn't made it and the whole complexion of the game would have been changed.” The irony was that the Yankees confidently expected Covington to be a liability to the Braves in the Yankee Stadium’s vast and tricky sunfield. Better fielders than Covington have had their troubles out there in Series competition. The fact is that Covington's catch was generally comparable to the one Brooklyn’s Sandy Amoros made to save the seventh game of the 1955 Series. Covington did not have to run as close to the foul line as, A more* did but Shantz’s ball was a liner while Yogi Berra’s 1955 drive was a sliced fly. Covington’s .500 average represents three singles and a double in eight tries. He struck the “big one” for the Braves Thursday when he looped a single over shortsotp Gil McDougald’s head with two on and none out in the fourth inning. That blow delivered Joe Adcock with the run that put the Braves in front, 3-2.

Ernie Williams And Basso Fight Tonight WASHINGTON W — (Sonny Boy) Williams, aggressive young Washington lightweight, meets contender Johnny Busso of New York tonight in their nationally - televised and broadcast (NBC) 10-rounder at the New Capitol Arena. - Rangy Busso, 23, is favored at 13-5 over stocky Williams, 22, because of his punch and because Sonny Boy lacks Busso’s big-time experience. It will be Williams’ first televised main event. like he was a Yankee. Which, of course, he was in 1951 when the Yankees included him in a deal for Johnny Sain which paid off in a world championship but may. six years later, cost them another.
