For a while Mickey seemed to be
all right. You remember him down
in Spring training at Daytona Beach
Mickey put 1t on-strong. He was q
member of the Gas House Gang and
acted the part. He never wore any,
thing but a polo shirt to dinner, and
even affected high-heeled boots, a la
Pepper Martin. He was dizzier than
Dizzy, daffier than Daffy.
But when the season started Owen
was just another guy named Mickey.
He has not hit big league pitching so
far and now they are doubling if he
ever will hit. He is not a $15O,0O0
investment by any stretch OF the
imagination.
Had Mickey been bought at
the fantastic figure Hickey set
he might have gone down as
one Of the all-time lemons,
joining Paul Strand, Bill Cis-
sell and even Willie Kamm.
Most Of the great ball players cost
little, if anything. Strand was sup
posed to have cost Connie Mack $780,
900, but as a major league hitter he
strictly was NJ G. Cissell lasted longer
than Strand in the big show, but he
never was $4,000 ball player Kamm
was the best Of the three but better
players than Willie cost less than the
100000 purchase price that was an

&OME idea Of the size Of professional
players Is gained from . glance
at the average weight Of the opposing
lines tonight, which shows the possible
Redskin lineup averaging 218 pounds
to the Giants 216-pound forward wall
Only one lineman on each team Is
under 200-Ed HAWAI-, the Washington

Fordham guard, each weighing 1913.
BY far, the two huskiest will be
found in the left side of the Redskin
line, where Capt. Turk Edwards, an
all-time Rose Bowl tackle selection,
and Les OLSON, q three-year veteran,
weigh 260 skd $50, respectively.
Wayne Millner. Notre Danes all
America, and Charley Malone, four
year man, tip the scales at exactly
200, with Jim Barber and Jim Karcher,
possible starters at tackle and guard,
respectively. weighing 215 and 207.
The Giants line will be dominated
by Nell Helm, four times chosen the
all-league center; but four rockies are
expected to crash the opening lineup.
Jim Pool Of Mississippi and Will Walls
OF T. c. U. will be at the end posts;
Tarzan White, Alabamas all-America.
at guard and Ed Widseth, Minnesota,s

Home Coming for Leemans.

IT SENDS the Redskins against the
team which had won the Eastern
championship three successive years
before being halted last season by
tonight's host, and it provides a gala
home coming for Alphonse (Tuffy)
Leemans, acknowledged Washington's
greatest college product.
Leemans, who used to tote the mail
in special style for George
Washington, returns tonight, and when
fans spot the No. figure which
adorns his New York uniform, they
will be seeing the player who led
the entire National League in ground
gaining in 1896, his rookie year. He
was the only freshman" to make the
all-league team in 1896.
Leemans, however, will be only one of
an array Of stars on the field tonight.
With the Redskins boasting an all
star cast in Riley Smith, Alabama's s
all-America quarterback of 1895; Erny
Pinckert, an all America halfback for
Southern California Of the early 3os;
Don Irwin, Colgate star Of 1885, and
Baugh. they can present as versatile
an attack as will be seen In the league.
Battles Thought Ready.
IF CLIFF BATTLES, lately an1icted
with boib, Is available, the Red
skins also will be able to toss at the
Giants . player who received - out
OF IS possible votes for all-league
halfback last season. Coach Ray
Flaherty said that he wasn't sure of
Battles condition, but he thought
he'd be all right"
The Giants can counter with Ed
Danowski, whose rank as the leagues
best passer Is threatened by Baugh;
Dale Burnett, 188-pound halfback who,
in seven years, has scored more touch
downs than any other Giant player
in history; Les Corzine, 2l8-pound
veteran Of four seasons, or Jim NeilI,
whose passing for Texas Tech even
overshadowed Baugh's in a hand-to-
hand meeting last year when Texas
Christian absorbed one Of its two
defeats of the year.
Steve Owens, who Is beginning his
seventh season as coach Of the Giants,
will not name his backfield until he
sees whether the Giants receive or
kick of. Flaherty might do the same
thing In regard to the Redskins.

CONSERVATION
ASSOC. ELECTS
At A Recent Meeting They Elect
The Same Farm Supervis-
Ors AS Last Year
LIST OF THOSE WHO
WILL CHECK THE FARMS

The directors of the Somerset Ag-
ricultural Conservation Association, at
a recent meeting elected the same
farm supervisors who served last
year.
The Supervisors have met with the
County Agent and have gone over the
regulations and have been given the
necessary forms and they expect to
start checking the more than $50
farms within the next week.
1t will be necessary for the farm
ers who are enrolled in the program,
to assist the supervisor in checking the
acreage and sign the report that the
farm has been checked.
Those who are cooperating in the
soil conservation program have receiv-
ed figures showing their depicting
base, rate of payment, minimum soil
conserving acreage and soil building
allowance.
Farmers still have the opportunity
to meet the soil conserving acreage
requirement by seeding such crops as
crimson clover or vetch after truck
crops as tomatoes, potatoes or after
grain crops as corn.
It is still possible to seed soybeans,
cowpeas, and obtain two months
growth before blowing under.
+ Farmers should check on the amount
of their soil building allowance and
the practices that they have done up
to the present time. If the full al
lowance has not been earned, there is
still an opportunity to do additional
practices late this summer and early
fall, in order that the full allowance
can be earned.
The following supervisors will check
the farms for compliance:
West Princess Anne and East Prin-
cess Anne Communities: w. L. Wat
kins.
Westover Community: J. Nelson
Polyette and Harry keenan,.
Rehoboth Community: William T.
Chaffey, A. Lloyd Matthews and Will
liam Wilkins.
Costen Community: J. Miles Lark
ford.
Farmers living in these communities
can obtain additional information from
their supervisor or by getting in touch
with the office of the County Agent.

AUTO ACCIDENT
Mr.. Harry Nash Suffers Com
pound Fracture Of Leg On
Saturday Of Last Week

Mr.. Harry Nash, former resident
of this city, was carried to the hos
pital at Nassawadox on Saturday last,
suffering from a compound fracture
of the right leg, received in an auto
accident about 4 o'clock last Saturday
afternoon.
The accident occurred near the Di-
viding Greek bridge, where the car Mr..
Nash was driving collided with truck
driven by a negro, who is in the en-
ploy of the Brown Canning Company,
of Snow Hill.
Mr.. Nash is connected with the same
company, and at the time of the af-
fair he was on his way to aid the
negro in getting load on his truck.
This had been accomplished, however,
and when the negro saw Mr.. Nash, he
evidently applied his brakes too sud-
denly in order to stop the truck and
tell Mr.. Nash he need proceed no fur
Their.
The truck skidded into the car de-
molishing it and injuring Mr.. Nash
as above stated. He was brought to
Pocomoke by a passing car, carried to
DIR. R. Lee Hall, who, after treating
the wounded man, advised his removal
to hospital. He was carried to Mas
sawadox where he is doing as well as
could be expected. No arrests have
been made.
