PARADE ADDED
To JUDGE DAY

This Joe Judge Day committee
certainly means business. The
latest they have done is to ar
range for a parade on June %
through downtown streets as par.
of the Judge testimonial.
Three bands will be in the line
of March, from the Victory Post
of the American Legion, the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars and the
ElkS' Boys Club. The parade will
lead up to the Westinghouse.
troit ball game where Judge will
be presented a purse of gold to
which thousands Of fans are now
contributing.
WarrentOn, Va, fans are to
attend the game in a body
and plan to present a gift to
Judge. A mammoth cake will
be a gift from the Continental
Baking Company, while to
stimulate interest in the testi-
mOnial the Fashion Shop and
Hecht Company will display
pictures of Judge taken at
different stages of his 15-year
career with the Nationals.
Alexandria fans plan doing
their bit by going out in force to
the St. Mary's Celtic-Naval Hos
pital game at Baggett's Stadium
on June Is, proceeds of which
will be turned over to the Judge
Day committee. This game was
arranged by Charlie Corbett and
Joe Dakin, managers of the two

tween the end Of the first half
and the starting of the second

did the arranging had little fore
thought in regards to the result
of the first half in that ties or
near ties for first place might be
the case in a heated race, setting
aside therefore, enough days tG
stage play-offs, not to mention
postponed games made necessary

POOLE'S TOTS
SMALL, BUT
POWERFUL
By GARRETT WATERS

They call EN- the wonder Boys,
and little wonders they are to play
as capable a game Of baseball as
they do.
The Wonder Boys are colleC-
ton Of midget ball players haillng
from Northeast Washington. They
are not midgets in regards to di-
vision, but midgets in the way of
ball players.
Their actual classification in
the Capital City League section in
which they play is Insects, but
such name we don't like to give
them. Insects are insects lr
biology but not in baseball.
Yet these youngsters are so
small that they have TO be
put in some sort of class. The
claSsificatiOnS of the various
SandlOt groups makes this
necessary. It's gene orally
taken that there are six
classes in Sandlot baseball,
namely, unlimited, senior. jun
iOr, midget, insect and pewee.
most the same and are di-
verSified only because there
are so many d m tive
players and teams on the
field these days. The sand
lotters begin their baseball
early.
But to get back to the story OF
the Wonder Boys as this started
out to be about them.
The Wonder Boys play insect
ball in the Capital City League.
Little mites that they are they
play just as good game as some
of the older teams around the
city at times. Wondering how
they can throw a baSeba" as far
across the diamond as third to
first base is, they do and throw
it accurately, all in the bringing
out of their name. wonder
Boys"
In a game recently they went
through nine innings without an
error and their pitcher held his
opponents to five hits, a feat even
in the insect class. And their
catcher caught several men trying
to steal second with rifle throws
to second.
w. w. Zip Poole manages
the Wonder Boys and good
job he has done in teaching
his players how to play ball,
how to work the inside game,
for that's prominent in the
teams play, and how to obey
orders. The teams showing
in the Capital City League
and in outside games has
brought out these teachings.
The Wonder Boys roster is un-
usually large for an insect team,
some Is players being on list.
It's headed by CuOzZo, Bell and
Eaton, pitchers, all three OF whom
are clever as we'll as small. Then
they have three catchers, Cullins,
Perry and Farrall, with Sullivan
and Koontz, first basemen; BreS-
nahan, second baseman; McCon-
nell. ShortStop and Parkhill, third
base and Heflin, Kilby and Lacey,
regular outfielders. Gaff and Pitts
are utility infielders while Wyche
and Hermann are extra out
fielders.
The Wonder Boys lead the Cap
ital City insect division at present.
having downed the Lionels, their
strongest obstacle, only recently.
Although they might not win the
championship this year, they'll be
in there playing for all their
might with the motto of We
might be small. but here's one
case where little boys will be seen
and heard at the same time"

BABE REV|SES
OPINION ON
GR|FFS
By BABE RUTH

CHICAGO, June At begins
to look as if I was all wrong on
my guess about the Brooklyn
Dodgers. I picked them for
seventh place, you may remem-
ber, and here they are right up
there leading the league and
playing bang-up baseball day after
day. And personally I hope they
stay up there. There's no man
in baseball I'd rather see on top
than Uncle Robbie and there S
no man in the game whose vic
tory would be more popular
either.
At that I can't see how the
Robins do it. They've got punch
true enough and they have been
getting good pitching for the
most part, but I figured, IN do2-
ing them, that poor defensive
play would take lot away from
them. The starts they've got now
will make them a tough club TO
beat all season, and it just goes
to show what a good early start
does for a club. It gives them
confidence and pepper.
"We've got a similar case
right in our own league in
the Washington Griffmen.
No one figured Washington
would be a contender. Even
walter johnson himself dOped
them for the top of the sec
ond division. But they got
away to a good start, got a
lot of confidence in their
own ability, and now they're
going like a house afire. I've
got a hunch they'll keep
right on going well all
through the season.
The Washington times., 1930-06-04

The situation is little changed
this year. The first half over by
next Monday, not including the
postponed games necessary to be
played, there is no team far
enough ahead to be called the ulti'
mate winner. Government Print
ing Office and Naval Hospital are
tied for first place at present with
five victories each in eight games
while Interstate and Union Print
ers are in second and third place
respectively. with every chance to
get somewhere in the remaining
games.
G. P. o. engage Navy Yard to-
day. A victory will temporarily
gain undisputed possession OF first
place, but whether it can mean
the turning point Of the race is
questionable because of the re"
naming games which will give the
Naval Hospital, Interstate and
Union Printers a chance to catch
up if not pass the Shomo-man-
aged team.
A. L. Pierce. scorer Of the
league and observer Of many a
game in the circuit, said:
"It's like this every year.
But it makes interesting
games and the big crowds
that always are lined up and
down the base lines every
day. 1t also keeps the teams
on their toes as they're just
as interested in their show
ing as their followers"
A merry race is going on in
the Georgetown Church League.
Eldebrook, the leader for most
of the first half schedule, has
been recently supplanted, in fact,
by Calvary brakes yesterday in a
5-to-1 game, which puts Grace
Episcopal at the top. This latter
team has come with rush the
past few weeks and looks to have
fine opportunity to win the
first half banner as in its re-
naming games it is favored by
only having the weak teams in
the league to play against the
stronger ones to be met by Eide
brook.
The Tile Settlers are "in"
in the Industrial League. They
made that certain by routing the
Holmes Bakery nine, Is to l

of the District Repair Shop in

clinched the first half pennant

Yielding 1,OOOO.62 lbs. of butter
fat in an official S65-day production
test, Tiddledywink's Quality Girl,
purebred Jersey cow owned by Mrs.
Florence Gale Neal, of Oregon City,
Oregon, has brought renown alike
to her owner, her state and herself.
Already a world Jersey champion
by virtue of a previous record, Tid-
dledywink's Quality Girl now gives
her owner the distinction of being
the only woman to breed and test a
Jersey COW making a 1,000-pOund
butterfat record.
In her test lasting one year Tid-
dledywink's Quality Girl yielded
1,OOO.62 lbs. of butterfat, the equiva-
lent of 1880 lbs. of butter, and IT,
278 lbs. or 8,036 quarts of milk, net
ting Mrs. Neal a profit of 1915 above
feed cost.
Tiddledywink's Quality Girl did
not receive exception care while on
test. For six months of the time
she stayed in the pasture day and
night. Throughout the 365 days she
was milked entirely by machine. In
a previous test she became the
world champion senior 4-year-old
Jersey producer, 305-day tests, with
her record of 828.44 lbs. of butter
fat, the equivalent of 1,OS5 lbs. of
butter, and 12,845 lbs. or 5,794 quarts
Of milk. She has been awarded two
medals of merit, the highest medal
Milford chronicle., 1930-02-28

award of the American Jersey Cattle
Club, for these two outstanding test
records.
Mrs. Neal owns a Jersey herd that
is recognized as one of the leading
herds of the Pacific Coast. She went
to Oregon from Connecticut in 1920
and her herd has been developed in
the past nine years. To date COWS
in the herd have won ten silver med
ais, six gold medals, and two med
ais of merit for high production.
Mrs. Meals Jerseys are entered
every year in the leading dairy cat
tie shows of the west and always
bring home some of the blue and
purple ribbons. At the present time
the herd includes four grand cham
pion COWS and several junior cham
piOns.
Mrs. Meals farm is located near
Oregon City. It comprises about so
acres of land and is modernly
equipped with sterilizing plant, cleo
trio refrigeration and all equipment
necessary for a sanitary, efficient
dairy plant Milk products from this
farm, because of their high quality,
command the top market price.
Mrs. Neal is assisted now by her
three sons, Richard in charge of the
dairy, Robert in charge of the farm
work, and John the show man, but
she is the active head of the busi-
ness she has created.

FARMER BENEFITS MOST
FROM THE AIRPLANE

Farmers are more likely to get
genuine benefits from the use of air
planes than their city brothers for
many years to come, according to
the findings of a survey by The
Country Home.
Planes, according to the maga-
zine, have already appealed far
more readily to the people of the
Middle West and Far West than
they have to New Workers, for ex-
ample. "The restless, daring spirit
of the West unquestionably has had
much to do with this lead in avia-
tion," says the article. California has
more pilots than planes; New York
has more planes than pilots.
Air-mindedness is keenest in sec
tions of the United States where ter
rain and weather are most favorable
for flying. In rocky, fOggy New Eng
land aviation has Jagged as it has in
the Allegheny region. AS one goes
westward the interest in flying picks
up. Flat breasted Ohio, home of the
Wrights, has pioneered in aviation.
From Central Ohio to the Rocky
Mountains one can fly safely over
any route, knowing that aside from
a few rough spots, landing can be
made anywhere. Professional pilots
prefer even the Rocky Mountains to
the Allephenies because the valleys
are wider, less wooded and the air
is clearer. Fogs, curse of the East
ara infre0uent.
Distances are greater in the West
and there is greater need for rapid
travel. Cattle ranchers as well as
farmers are learning the advantages
of owning planes.
The article cites numerous IN
stances Of time and money being
saved by the use of planes. In one
case thousands of acres of rice land
was made productive after a crop
failure by being replanted by planes
in a few days. With the old methods
the replanting could not have been
accomplished in time for the crop
to mature.

terests Of Chicago, who are develop
ing an enlarged sugar bowl" in
Florida. C. G. Muench is the inven-
tor of the new harvester, and he
showed the famous New Workers
mentioned above how he cuts twen-
ty tons of cane sugar an hour. BY
the usual hand method one man will
do remarkably well to cut two and
a half tons a day. By the use of
food lights on the fields, of which
there are about $4,000 acres in cane
around Clewiston, the new harvester
machines can work twenty hours a
day, There are two completed ma
chimes on the grounds, and the man
ufacture of more of these machines
will soon be under way.
Now, there isn't anything about
sugar that is escaping attention at
washington, and that explains why
there is talk at the Capitol of a pos
sible revolution of the cane sugar
industry throughout the world.
Some people are rather optimistic
that the Muench invention will
prove to be to sugar production
what the reaper was to the grain
fields.

DO YOUR RUGS sLRl

There are undoubtedly certain
rugs in your home that you have
learned by experience to avoid or

And an unnecessary danger, too!
For you can now hold these rugs
firmly in place without injuring Ell

You merely lay your rugs over a

The Patterson School P. T. A.
meeting was held on Tuesday eve
ming, February 1S, with a large at
tendance.
Colonial life, especially as a part
of the history Of Delaware, by Mrs.
Alice H. Ross, was greatly enjoyed.
The assembly was informed how the
early settlers made everything in
life for their convenience and COM
fort. The program by the pupils in
cluding their dances, solos, and
playlets, gave forth much applause
as did also two seasonal recitatiOns
by the teacher. A number of an
tiques were on exhibition in vari-
GUS parts of the building. Delicious
refreshments of ice cream and home
made cake were served by the re-
freshment committee, the Rausch
family and Mrs. Margaret Bailey.
After announcing the date of the
next meeting as the third Tuesday
evening in March, the meeting ad-
jOurned. The Patterson P. T. A. IS
in a flourishing condition, having
approximately seventy members.
In company with two hundred Ia
dies, part of them being from the
Methodist, Presbyterian and Baptist
Churches in Brooklyn, Mrs. Thomas
Clancy recently attended delight
full luncheon at the plant of the
Brooklyn Eagle.
Walter C. Coverdale was recent
visitor at Preston, Md.
John L. Hopkins and Rev. Will
liam H. Hudson of Patterson, N. j.,
have returned from Florida. While
there the parson sold his lot which
he has owned for some time.
The writer is sorry to hear of the
death of a former pupil of Pine
Grove School, Milford, Frank Clark.
She has in her nature study collec-
tion a lovely bunch of trailing arbu-
tus presented to her "a highly priz-
ed treasure) by Frank two years
ago this spring. The relatives and
friends have our deepest sympathy.
Much sympathy is extended to
Mr.. and Mrs. George Ellers over the
loss of their little daughter only
few months old. Interment took
place at Hollywood cemetery.
During February the shrine of
beauty at Patterson's school has
been a collection of approximately
two hundred lovely valentines which
have been presented to the teacher,
Mrs. Ross, by her pupils in New
Castle, Kent and Sussex counties.
Miss Smith, daughter of Mr.. and

FLORIDA SUGAR CANE
HARVESTED BY NEW METHOD

A remarkable story has found its
way up from Florida, and the pol
iticians on Capitol Hill who have
been puzzling their minds to decide
whether sugar is more important as
a tariff topic than it is as food pro-
duct, are inclined to think that the
world Is about to discover that new
methods of harvesting sugar cane
will bring prosperity to the indus
try, and eventually lower the cost
of this great food commodity to con-
sumers.
Twenty years ago a real estate
concern was promoting the Florida
Everglades in the National Capital.
Some of the Washingtonians who
purchased lands became the butts of
the alleged humor of friends who al
ways wanted to know whether they
bought their lots by the acre or the
gallon. But today great areas Of this
same land are marvelOusly rich, be-
cause it has been scientifically
drained, and it is being cultivated
successfully. The Everglades is be-
coming a choice part of Florida.
Former Governor Alfred E. Smith
and John J. RaskOb, of recent we'll
known political renOWn, went to
this section few days ago, for the
purpose of seeing a mechanical in
vention in operation, which it seems
likely will speed up the process of
harvesting many hundred per cent.
There is no question but what
that in the next few years a good
majority of the cane will be har-
vested by cane machinery, as a ma
chine cutting 20-tons an hour will
do as much work in day as $50
negroes, at much lower cost, and
better. With the present method Of
harvesting cane it is necessary to
maintain barracks, houses and eV-
erything else incidental to keeping a
large number Of employees on the
premises. There is also large num-
Der of operations around a planta-
ton that could be successfully done
with machinery. Naturally, the con-
sumer will be able to buy sugar
cheaper when sufficient Of the land
that lies waiting to be planted is
put under intensive cultivation.
When that time comes sugar will
stand on its own hind legs as food,
spelled with a capital F, and Con-
gress may not even consider spend
ing weeks and months, or even days
splitting up its fractions Of one,
two and three cents, in order to ad-
just all the natural differences be-
tween Islands to the east of us, and
Islands to the west Of us, that mar
ket their sugar in the United States.
What has been taking place at
Clewiston, on Lake OkeechObee, is
certain to turn out to be story Of
worldwide concern. The mechani-
cal invention referred to above has
been demonstrated on the expansive
acres owned by B. G. Dahlberg in
