ST. LOUIS, Mo, April 3.-Rogers
Hornsby, pleased by a Chicago doc
tors report on his injured heel, was
at horne for a few hours today, pre-
paratory to leaving to rejoin the
Chicago Cubs in Kansas City.

be no reason why the soreness"
should not leave the foot and he will
leave here with high hopes of par
ticipating in the opening game Of

Washington Park Chatter
by EDDIE ASH

CEVEN singles were collected by
- Indians in the second inning
Monday off Jack Russell. Ten bats
men went to the plate and Clar-
ence Hoffman, up twice, had the
bad luck to pop out each time.
Monahan contributed the other out
During the big rally staged by
the Sox in the eighth twelve batters
took their cut and runners were on
third and first when Lee Daney
was called from the bull pen to re-
tire the side. Several things hap
pened in that stanza to cause the
Indians to blush.
Rabbit WarStler, the two-baSe hit
kid. poled two singles and a double
before giving way to Paul Wolfe at
short after the fifth round, Ano
Wolfe whanged double and triple.
It was perfect day for the lead-oft
post.
TINE Red Sox came 70 town
i thinking Warstler was a vet
eran OF thirty years, but the man
ner in which he Scampered around
the short field and swatted the
sphere during the three-game series
opened the eyes of some of the big
Ieaguers who had him "all WRONG"
on age. Perhaps it would be a wise
idea for Rabbit to carry his birth
certificate in his glove and wave 1t
when he snares the hot ones.
In the fifth session Monday,
with Reeves on first. Warstler
Ieaped toward second, took Berry'S
sizzling low liner with one hand
and rif1ed the sphere to Monahan
for a double killing.
q
Howard FTeigau went to the top
of the club hit standing by gather
ing three bingles Monday. He got
eight hits in three games.
PAYNE has not been effective his
last two times out in the spring ex-
hibition games. Evidently carrying
too much weight.
DUD CONNOLLY relieved Eddie
D Sticking at second in the sixth.
So anxious was Bud to play he
dashed out on the field without
noticing the Red Sox were employed
on the greensward at the moment.
Connolly made a diving stop on
Russell in the seventh and threw to
Wolfe from the prone position,
forcing Berry.
Two more hits for Ollie Beima.
This aggressive lad is not overlook
ing any chances to stay on the Cor
riden roster. His fielding on the
home lot has been superb.

TASTY PLANT
IS DESCRIBED
New Valley Product Rivals
Sweet Potato as Food
And in Taste
Especial to The Herald

RIO HONDO, June 2l-"Slim
Jim" melon, ! tastes like a sWS,st
potato or a kershaw. yet 1t Is not a
sweet potato. nor a kershaw. and ii
looks similar To a watermelon, but
isn't.
An experimental patch Of this
plant. new to the Valley. was raised
here by @. B. Warner on the John
son farms here. The plant usually
has four long runners from 20 to 80
feet IN length with mammoth leaves.
IL flowers like a squash. IL produces
melons in bountiful quantities at
approximately 1000 ID. to the acre.
The melons average a weight OF
from > to 81 pounds. some are round
and others are long.
The meat is a deep golden color.
This product is expected TO take
the place Of sweet potatoes in the
Valley" said Mr.. Warren. Unlike
sweet potatoes. it doesn't scab nor
become infected with weevils.
Valley candy factories are exper-
imenting with the melon In making
candy. So far a delicious citron-like
candy is the result.
