NEW YORK, Aug. 23~—Now that the story has broken, appar-

the two world’ series teams may go abroad to play for the service ‘men, we'll confess we were just shadow boxing with the subject in

this space the other day. ® 8 = THE PROPOSAL to send the series teams to one or more theaters of war is, incidentally, only part of a broad, far-reaching program of sports which has been | submitted to the White House. * One of the proposals, if adopted, would place at least three groups of professional] athletes under the off-season direction of the war department. The three groups: Baseball, football and hockey. These groups, in effect, would have the same status as service men, the difference being they'd be under Washington ‘orders only part time. What, if any, progress this. proposal has made, we are unable to report at the moment. . i : A LETTER from Notre Dame . “It appears we will have a fairly good starting team, but will be undermanned the rest of the way. Angelo Bertelli, our fine forward passer, will be at quarterback. We'll have him for about five games. He is a marine reservist and will be transferred around the first of November. In all probability the other three back field posts will be filled by boys who have never before played a college football game; John Lujack, a fine all-around back from Connelsville, Pa. at left half; Bob Kelly, a freshman and a fine kicker from Chicago at right half; Julius Rykovich, a freshman back at Illinois last year, will share the full back spot with Vic Kulbitski, who was first string with Minnesota last year. Both Rykovich and Kulbitski are here as marine reservists.

Montgomery vs. Jo © ° Zivic Tonight NEW YORK, Aug. 23 (U. P.).— Two former welterweight champions, Henry Armstrong and Fritzie Zivie, face severe tests in their comeback campaigns in feature events of this week’s national boxing program. Zivic, Pittsburgh veteran, meets Lightweight Champion Bob Montgomery of Philadelphia in a 10round non-title fight at Shibe park in Philadelphia tonight. The con-

test will be the 33d of Zivic’s comeback campaign. .

Ex-Pug Faces Rene La Belle

A former prize fighter who met such fistic performers as Moon Mullins, Sammy Mandell and Andy Callahan will strut his wares as, a grappler in the main event on the outdoor wrestling card tomorrow night at Sports Arena. He is Joe Ferona of Boston and he will be meeting a top ranking junior heavyweight in Rene La Belle of Toronto. The match is for two falls out of three. Ferona has been giving a good account of himself since joining the wrestling ranks several seasons ago. He is a rugged matman of the “villian” style, just the type that local fans like to see pitted against the popular La Belle. In other bouts, Ali Pasha meets “Count” Zuppi and Lefty Pacer opposes Frankie Hart.

Marketing Weights Below 270.

Times Special : : LAFAYETTE, Ind., Aug. 23. A number of reasons make it advis-

ket hogs at somewhat lighter weights than recently has been the practice, and preferably at weights pelow 270 pounds, says M. P. Mitchell, Purdue university extension agricultural economist. . The weights. of hogs marketed in Indiana in recént months have been from eight to 12 pounds greater ‘than for the same period last year, although the weights even at that time were above. normal. Mr. Mitchell listed the following adyantages in markeung lighter weight hogs: ; Spread Greater 1. Weighty hogs are being discriminated against on the price schedule. Three - hundred - pound hogs are being’ discounted about 60 to 75 cents under handy weight hogs of 200 to 225 pounds, while a month ago the ‘spread was only about 15 cents. 2. Heavy hogs make less efficient use of feed than lighter weight hogs. : 3. Feed is hard to get within the state, making it advisable to get rid: of these heavy feeders.

Ceiling Due Soon

4. Within a short time the announced ceiling of $14.76 on hogs will be in effect, so that there is no immediate incentive for holding hogs for higher prices. Mitchell urged that farmers cooperate with their truckers in providing full loads of hogs to market. Wartime conditions demand the greatest economy in the use of gas, tires and trucks. He warns, however, that full loading should not be carried to the place of overcrowding because of possible death losses due to crushing and overheating. The July federal inspected slaughter -of hogs shows a 40 per cent increase over a year ago, whereas the increase in producti is only 20 to 25 per cent above that of last year. Present market

{runs include some hogs that are

being marketed prematurely because of feed scarcity conditions, as well as an increased number of brood sows.

STEPS TO PEACE GET CONGRESS EYE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23 (U. P.). ~—Congressional planning for the return to civilian economy is under way on four broad fronts, Chairman Walter F. George (D. Ga.), of the senate’s special committee on post-war economic planning revealed today. The subjects investigated during the summer recess were: 1. A study by the Brookings Institution of legislation restricting free enterprise of private industry as well as an estimate of the amount of federal aid private industry must have for post- war conversion, 2. Highway construction ' and reclamation of arid western lands to provide new frontiers, being investigated by Sen. Carl Hayden (D. N. M). 3. Housing needs on a long range designed to eliminate city slums as well ag improve rural standards of living, being studied by Sen. Robert A. Taft (R. O.). 4. The effect of monopolies on free competition, studied by Sen. Joseph C. honey, (D. Wyo.). George has been doing some preliminary work on the subject of in-dustry-financing for the post-war

- | period, as affected by excess profits

taxation and renegotiation of war contracts.

PUBLIC REQUESTED TO RETURN BOTTLES

“The return of several thousand milk, soft drink, and beer bottles per week (or month) is essential if Indianapolis is to avoid a shortage of beverages,” according to Harry Farber, head of the local Royal Crown Cola plant, The situation is serious because the bottle manufacturers are doing so much war work they cannot supply the normal demand for bottles, he declared. To make up for this loss; all Pos sible empty bottles should be gathered up and returned to retail stores at once. Mr. Farber urged every family to search the cellar, attic ‘and garage for empties.

CARE IS REQUIRED IN COMBINING SEED

LAFAYETTE, Ind., Aug. 23.—Seed is “ammunition,” and special care exerted in harvesting clover and grass seeds in Indiana, where combines are used extensively, will help to avoid losses of seed quality, according to F. W. Quakenbush, head of the -agricultural’ chemistry department at Purdue university and state seed commissioner. He offered the following suggestions: 1. Do- not combine when plants or seeds are damp. 2. As soon as possible after eombining, spread out thin to dry. 3. If green material is present in the seed, clean it immediately by running it over a suitable fan mill Even letting the uncleaned seed containing quantities of green material stand over night may cause a serious loss of germination and seed color. 4, Set bags of combined seed in rows, with air spac es between the rows, to facilitate drying. Production of good quality seed is very important this year. Seed had to be fairly dry for the old clover huller to do a good job, but: combined seed may contain enough moisture to cause serious damage to the seed unless it is given special care.

This would be more of such famed watches as Longines, Bulova and Gruen. By far the most popular watch at present is the military watch with a sweep second hand, water proof, made ‘of stainless steel, shockproof, non-magnetic and with a luminous dial. The war also has increased the popularity of what aviators call “crash bracelets” or identification bracelets. Not only are these in demand from those in the service but many civilians are wearing them, Mr. Gribben said. :
