Boardman to Be On. Mound
When Parshhll Plays Here
Hurler, Signed With Bis
marck for Rest Of Season,
Expected to Produce Re.
suits in Game Sunday Hen.
sley and Bennett Coming
With NOrtre =

Charley Boardman, signed with
Bismarck for the rest of the season,
is to be on the mound Sunday when
Parshall journeys here to play the
Bismarck team for second time. l,
Fans on both sides are predicting
different ending to this game than
to the last Parshall- Bismarck game,
which ended in tie. Local fans are
confident that Charley, backed up by
a strong group of players, can turn
the tables on the northerners and
come through with victory, while
Parshall is relying on Hensley and
Bennett, its famous colored battery,
to produce the necessary punch to
put Parshall Oh the winning end.
Eddie Tobin is to hold down first
base for Bismarck and will give Par
shall players plenty of worry. They
haven't forgotten his sensational
catches and fast work in the last
game.
Shorty Fuller will be on second and
can be relied on to give consistent.
ly good account of himself, as can
Mohn at third. Sagehorn will be
playing shortstop and should prove in
this game, as he has in the past, that
anything coming his way is going to
be stopped in hurry.
Kelly Will Catch
Kelly Sim0nson will be in as
catcher and is going to prove trou-
blesome to Parshall, while Charley,
on the sending end, should be shoot
ing some deceptive curves and Incl
dentally garnering some good hits in
his turns at bat.
Jones, in left field, can be depend
ed on to take care of his section of
the outer gardens and should pro-
duce some hefty wallops in his turns
at bat as he has in past games. More
or less the Lou Gehrig of the local
team, he can be relied on for sin
giles, triples and three-baggers and
there is coed reason to hope he may
add another home run to his total.
Webster will be in center field and,
like Jones, can be relied on for some
lengthy hits and fast playing. Lena
burg probably will be in right field,
where he has acquitted himself more
than creditably.
Love will not be with the local team
this Sunday, being booked to pitch
for iceland.

her kidnaper was most intense.
The girls story told Of an auto
mobile trip south from Oakland be-
ginning on the afternoon Of Christ
mas day when McClelland obtained
permission of her parents for her
to accompany him to Pasadena. He
said his wealthy" mother at Pasa-
dena would adopt her.
Evelyn told the Redlands police
that McC1clland attempted to as.
sault her Sunday night when they
spent the night in his car in an op.
en- field near Bakers Field. Nc.
Clelland's mother and his wife. who
also lives at Pasadena, both denied
having any kr owledge Of his where,

authorities he disappeared with &
12-ycar-old girl of Parker, Ariz.
several years ago, under circum'

FARMERS OF NATION SUFFER YEARLY
Loss SOF $20O,00O,O0O BY EROSION
Soil Conservation Urged as
Major Step in Any Funda-
mental System Of Food Con.
troll by Representative OF
Federal Bureau of Chemis-
5. try and Soils

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 29.-(AP)-
Farmers of the, nation suffer tan
gible yearly loss of 100000, 900
through the removal Of plant food
from their fields and pastures by the
process of erosion. scientists were
told today by H. H. Bennett of the
federal bureau of chemistry and
soils.
This represents about 1-10 OF
total wastagc some of which oc-
currs in non- productive territory.
Urging soil conservation as ma
jor step in any fundamental system
of flood control, Mr.. Bennett in
formed geographcrs and geologists
attending the convention of the
American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science that the coun-
try's increasing population a few
generations hence might feel Every
acutely" the evil effects Of erosion,
"this scourge of the land now large
ly restrained"
The replacement value Of potash.
phosphorus and nitrogen in soil
wasted by soil washing exceeds $2,-
OOO, ,OOO, 900 each year throughout the
country, the speaker asserted.
"In this connection he continued,
"it must be considered that not only
the plant food is removed by rain
wash, but the soil as we'll. The soil
that is washed out of fields cannot
be :. .tored, except by those cx.
ceedingly slow natural processes OF
soil building that require in many
instances undetermined centuries to
develop a comparatively thin layer OF
soil. It would be entirely imprac-
ticable to replace even small part
of the eroded matter, such as might
be recoverable from stranded ma
terial not yet swept into the rivers.
Another considerable part Of the
erosional debris goes to clog stream
channels, to cover up fertile a.luviun
with comparatively infertilc sane
and other coarse materials assorted
from flood water and to. cause pro
ductive stream bottoms to become
more swamny and much less valu'
able"
Mr.. Bennett suggested terracing o1
fit DIS and the growing Of trees
shrubs and grasses on idle lands ant
areas too steep for cultivation and or
soils highly susceptible to washing
as "the most important steps tha'
can be taken as a supplemental,
means of flood prevention"
Few sections of the country cs
cape wastage, Mr.. Bennett said. !
has destroyed valuable land, h
pointed out, in the southern Appala
chan valley, the Tennessee rive
valley, south central Kentucky. tn
Piedmont region, the uplands OF tn
Mississippi and the Missouri. tn
'sblack lands" Of Texas, the drie
lands Of the west and even the com
paratively smooth prairies an

New York, Dec. 29.-lP)-Hun-
dreds Of little coves and inlets along
the coasts of Nova Scotia and New
foundland were believed today to
offer the only possibility that Mrs.
Frances Wilson Grayson and her
three companions in the Dawn still
survived.
Five destroyers, which yesterday
combed $500 square miles south Of
Sable Island, today separated to
cover a new area to the south and
to patrol the north side Of the island
from cast to west.
Commander r. r. Stewart, direct
ing the destroyers, believed that to-
days search would eliminate the
last Of the area from which might
have been sent the radio call which
the wireless station on Sable Island
heard Saturday night, signed with
the Dawn's call.
Thea Rasche Still Plans Flight
The possible tragic fate of Mrs.
Grayson and her crew - Oskar
Omdal, pilot; Brice Goldsborough,
navigator, and Fred Koehler, motor
expcrt-has not dissauded Thea
Rasche, German aviatrix, from at
tempting a transatlantic flight next
spring.
Miss Raschc said that she had
wanted to 60 with Mrs. Grayson, as
Lco-pilot, but was not given the op-
portunity. She said she would un-
dertake the flight herself, however,
perhaps with another woman as CO.
pilot, but with men as navigator
and mechanic.
Faint Hope Remains
Additional reports from persons
who are certain they heard an air.
plane Saturday night and Sunday
not far from. Harbor Grace, New
foundland, brought faint hope to
the searchers for the Dawn. Mrs.
Crayson was bound for Harbor
Grace when she left Roosevelt Field
Friday evening. From there she
intended to hop off for Croydon,
England, with the first favorable
weather.
Lieutenant Commander Charles A.
Rosendahl Of the Los Angeles ex-
pressed the opinion there is virtually
no hope, and that If the plane was
forced down on the water at night,
| it sank Immediately.
