EHMKE MAKES
SENSATION IN
BALL PITCHING
Leads Boston to Victory by
Twirling No Run One
Hit Game
(By the Associated Press.)


Chicago, Sept. 12.--There were
some minor sensations in the major
leagues yesterday.
Howard Ehmke pitched no run,
5one-hit game against the New York
Americans, leading Boston to victory
s to 0. Cy Williams pounded out a
pair of homers in Philadelphia game
with Brooklyn, who went down to
defeat, IL to 8, and Jack Scott shut
out the Boston Braves, winning for
the Giants 10 to 0. Pittsburgh de-
z feated Cincinnati 4 to 3, placing the
Pirates q game and half ahead Of
the Reds, and five and q half behind
the Giants.
Ehmke was robbed to the honors
eof pitching two mo hits games in
succession by the awkward bounce Of
j ball to Yankee center fielder.
Howard Shanks, Boston third base
man, was the victim Of the crooked
hop, but for that Ehmke you'd nave
accomplished . feat never before re.
ported to the credit u any epitehers
in baseball history.

Stephens Tells
KiWanis Work of
Experiment Plant

"Thcre are 400 farmers cooper
ating with the U. S. Northern Great
Plains Field station south of the
city, said Supt. S. M. Stephens who
is supervisor of fourteen of the gov
eminent stations from the northwest
to Oklahoma, in an address before
members of the kiwanis club yester-
day.
He said that the work of the sta
tion was divided into three classes
horticulture under w. A. Baird,
agronomy under J. T. Sarvis, and
forestration under Robert Wilson.
"People wonder why we produce SO
much fruit, vegetables and other
things which are allowed to spoil.
The station is not a farm; the de-
partmcnt heads are not farmers. The
station is a great research laboratory
and the workers are skilled scientists
and experts. From a two acre patch
Of tomatoes, it may be that only a
few plants are taken, but these are
the choice Of the whole and de-
velOpment which may represent five
years work.
an the fruit orchard experimental
ton the same holds true. Great vol
umes must be grown to get the per-
feet specimens and the fruit or vege-
tables allowed to rot away so that
seeds may be- obtained. If we were
| to allow persons to come on to the
station and help themselves, it would
be the plants or trees, fruit or vegc-
tables representing years of skilled
study that undoubtedly would be
! taken. Such thing has happened. 1t
does look like a waste, sometimes,
but every person in the dry land
areas eventually benefits for our de-
velopments when perfected 60 into
