WRIGLEY FIELD, Chicago, Oct. 10. The Detroit Tigers, behind steady hurling by Hal Newhouser, won the world baseball championshilp this afternoon when they swaroned the Chicago Cubs 9 to 3 in the seventh and deciding game of the 1945 world series. The Tigers piled1 up a commanding lead with a five-run splurge in the first inning. The first three men to face HanK Borowy, the Cub starting pitcher, and Derringer came in but the damage was plenty before he finally retired the side. The Tigers added another run in the second, one in the seventh and two in the eighth. The Cubs threatened in the first, fourth and eighth, scoring cne tally in each of those frames, but Newhonser was invincible in the clutches. While he scattered nine hits he struck out ten. Vandenburgh, Erlckson.iPasseau and Wyse all tparaded t;.tbe. hilL in behalf of the losers' cause as the game progressed. Fertilization Of Late Seeded Wheat Highly Important Fertilization of Indiana's wheat crop is more important than usual tnis fall since seeding of much of the acreage is being considerably delayed past the fly free date by wet weather. Harvesting of soybeans is late because of cool wet weather and a large portion of the wheat crop is seeded on soybean stubble. 1 The soybean crop continues to I use plant nutrients right up to I the time of maturing the seed ,and the supply of available soil I potash for the young wheat seedlings is quite low. Supplying these Plant food elements through liberal fertilization helps the crop to develop a vigorous root system before freezing rweather stops growth, thereby increasing the resistance to win ter killing. Results of fertilization of wheat on the various Purdue experiment fields over the State show what may be expected from the use of fertilizer that is available to growers. Average increase in yields for periods varying from five to 25 years have ranged from eight to 11 bushels per ear, The amount used has unually been 300 pounds per acre with 400 pounds in some of the experiments. In most of the longer time experiments 2-12-6 was the analysis. As the need for potash for corn and other crops in the rotation became more evident in recent years the analysis has been stepped up to 3-12-12. Marked results on clover and grass stands have resulted . from these applications on the wheat crop in addition to the big boost in wheat yields. The applications have been highly profitable on widely different soil types. In seasons where seeding was I delayed past fly date and. moist ure conditions were lavoranie for quick germination after seeding the results of fertiHz"i tion have been most pronounced, j Growers may expect excellent I results from similar applications . on late sown wheat this fall since ! there is an abundant supply of moisture in the ground. In pre paring the seedbed on combined soybean stubble just enough disc ing should be done to work up sufficient soil for covering the seed. Shallow discing is desirable.

Secretary Of Labor Schwellenbach Jovial As He Again Confers With Operators And Miners At Washington Today Says Opposing Factions "Not Very Far Apart." (By United Press) Deputy sheriffs and police broke the picket ilnes around the strike-bound Warner Brothers movie studio today as prospects improved for a settlement of the coal strike in the eastern and midwestern mines. In Hollywood, deputies arrested 600 pickets outside the Warner studio, where scores of persons have been injured in fighting between strikers and non-strikers in the past five days. The pickets did not resist the police. Across the nation, about 457,000 persons were idle in a variety of labor disputes. Although the Hollywood development was , the more spectacular, the most serious strike business was being conducted at Washington where efforts were resumed to settle the strike of soft coal workers. , - ; j. 174,000 Miners Out. t .1 p ' " '. !
