Farmers Urged to Help

farms in the Great Plains could be
speeded with proper co operation
from farmers, so that they once
more could carry heavy grazing
load in half the natural time, &C.
cording to E. A. Aldous, of the
soil conservation service.
When left entirely to nature, AL
dous said, the restoration will be a
long process - probably requiring
from Is to IS years. But the re-
storation of grasses, essential to re-
vegetation, can be fastened, Aldous
believes, by improvement of the
structure and humus content of the
soil.

LEAGUE CAREER GREATEST HOPE OF YOUNG TERRY
Son of Giant Manager Points for Legal
 Job

Memphis, Tenn. (UP) William (BilD Terry, Jr, husky l9o-pound son of the New York Giants man. ager, is studying to be a lawyer. but he will gladly enter professional baseball If he can make the grade.
 Bill. Jr., captain-catcher of the University of Virginia freshman team the past season, would like to follow his fathers footsteps If he thought he had a chance to make the grade in big league baseball"
 The youth, 6 feet, inches tall. became backstop for the Virginia freshmen mainly because they lacked a receiver, and at the end of the season his batting average was the highest of the club.
 Urged by Dick Fletcher, fresh- man coach, Young Terry plans next year to try out as a pitcher on the varsity nine. His father began as a southpaw pitcher, but eventually was switched to first base.
 He believes the Tanks and the Giants will win the American and National league pennants again this year.
 "The Yankee team I saw in the World Series last year was the greatest club I've ever seen, and 1t hasn't grown a bit weaker the youth said. .
 "The Giants are greatly improved by the fastest infield in the league, and we missed that speed last year, I believe dads team will move out in front with the hot weather, and the Yankees should finish on top with plenty to spare"

JACK CURLEY, BIG TIME PROMOTER,
 DIED SUDDENLY
Wrestling ImpressariO Had COIOrful Career in
 Sports World

New York, July 12.-(UP).-Jack Curley, 6l, who promoted every thing from flea circuses and one- piece bathing suits to heavyweight wrestling, died of @ heart attack to- day at his Great Neck, Long Island, home.
 Curley did what most sports ex- perts had believed was impossible. He restored wrestling to public fa- vor after 1t had been denounced as the most crooked of all off-color rackets. Under Curley's touch, wrestling fiourished after 1929, and thousands paid to watch It's ex- hibitions throughout the country.
 Variety
 The genial promoter, who stepped out of the field of sports on several occasions to promote a wild west circuit, to manage a tour of the Vatican choir and to promote dance marathons and bridge contests, was born in San Francisco. July 4 1876, of Alsatian parents. He was chris tened Jacques Armond Schuel, but later changed that to Curley, a nickname that had been given him because of his thick ringlets
 Curley worked as a boy on a San Francisco newspaper, and then went to Chicago where he found employment in a shooting gallery. Then he took up boxing, and from that he turned to promoting.
 He covered a wide field.
 In 1899 he managed William Jen- nings Bryan on @ lecture tour. The great commoner was said to have become Curley's close friend when he learned that the promoter never touched alcohol.
 He was the impressario of the Jack Johnson -Jess willard heavy weight fight at Havana, July s, 1915.
 He Invented the one apiece bath ing suit while managing Annette Kellerman, the diver.
 He managed Rudolph Valentino, Jim Jeffries, Bill Tilden, Georges Carpenter, and Mrs. Emmeline Parkhurst, suffragette leder.
 Curly was married twice He di- vorced his first wife. His two chil- dren, Jack and Jean, lived with him. Hes second wife, who survives him. was Bessie Grobgeld, his sec- retary.
 Mat Mvgul
 It was in 1929 that Cur1ey entered the wrestling field and few years later his wrestleiS became known as "the grunt and groan men" He dramatized the matches by having the wrestlers simulate pain" by shrieking and screaming as they worked. The public liked 1t.
 i've never promoted a wrestling match that was not absolutely hon. est" he once said
 Curle ylived for many years in the house in which he died sudden ly this morning. His butler was a retired puglist and his home the mecca of sports celebrities. Funeral services have not yet been arranged.

years all-star game, are not mem- bers of the ball players organiza- tion..
 When this fact became known. some of the more fervid supporters of the association decided to cam- paign against permitting non-mem- bers to enjoy the honor of being elected to the all-star teams.
 The movement met with imme- diate success and gathered numer- ous sympathizers among the owners and newspaper boys.
 Of course, if Commissioner Landis and the heads agree to bar non- members 1t is pretty certain that the membership will be boosted and all of those 10 who didn't belong this year will be paying dues next season.
 Grove Wasted In Bullpen
 Joe Cronin, manager of the Bos- ton Red Sox. was the chief com- plainant against the ruling which prohibits the use of an all-star pitcher after the Sunday preceding the game. This rule prevented Joe from nominating Lefty Grove for duty against the New York Yankees, July 5, and the Bosox dropped a double-header.
 To make Cronin's chagrin all the greater. Grove didn't get any closer than the bullpen to the all-star mound. He was saved for nothing.
 And. incidentally, Joe Mccarthy of the Yankees took no pains to save Grove for the Rcd Sox. The American All-Stars' pilot kept Moses a-sweatin' all day warming up
 It is quite possible that if Cro- min had been able to use Grove inc stead of saving him for the league prom the Red Sox might have split that double-header with the Tanks and furthered their chances of fin- ishing high in the first division.
 The ruling doesn't seem necessary. After all, victory is not so import ant in the all-star affair that Q contending team has to be forced to sacrifice @ game.
 o course, If Dizzy Dean had his way he'd make only one change in all-star set-up. He'd have Lou Gehrig barred.

 ing performance for July 12
 The Phillies made nothing that remotely resembled hit of Frank (Noodles) Hahn, while Cincinnati hammered his opponent, Bernhard. sufficiently hard enough to win, 4 to 0.
 In only one inning did more than three of Billy Shettsline's lads face him, and that was in the opening frame, when Delehanty walked. Just three men reached first, two on passes an done by being hit.
 The two to reach base of Hahn, besides Delehanty, were Flick and Mcfarland. Both died attempting to steal second on Heinie Peitz, so that officially only twenty five faced Hahn in the nine innings.
 Most no-hit games are made pos- sible by one or more sensational catches, stops, or throws, but in Hahn's case this was not 50, as there was not one hard hit ball of his deliyery-no line drives or sharp Sgrounders to handle.
 When the Phillies were not strik- ing out @ fanned), they were role ing weak little grounders or popping aa A were as much ct Hahn's mercy as were the weakest hitters, Deieharity and Flick flaming twice. On two oc- casions Noodles" retired the side with five pitched balls.
 Hahn likewise distinguished him4 self in the batter's box. Cincinnati got seven hits of Bernhard. Hahn, with two, being the only Red to get more than one hit.

All ll.Star Game
 Prices Too Low, Moguls Believe
By RICHARD MCCAIN; NEA Service Sports Writer

New York. July l2.-It appears that the major leagues all-star game, like the sitdown striker, is here to stay-but not without a bit of lifting.
 Some of the owners still believe that the show is peddled to the public at too cheap a price.
 Some of the managers are op- posed to the rule prohibiting the use of an all-star pitcher within three days of the big game.
 Some of the players are in favor of barring from the affair those who do rot belong to the Association of Professional Ball Players of Amer lea, which cares for indigent old- timers with funds derived from, the game.
 Most baseball men believe that all three moves would be quite proper.
 They also would give the game back to the fans. who until this year were given some reason to suspect that their ballots had something to do with the selection of the cast
 The fortunate 3i.39i cash cus- toners who sa wthe New York Yankees, somewhat aided by rein- forcements from the rest of the American league, rout the National league elite, S-3, in Washington, paid only regular seaeon prices-$l.66 for box seats, $l.16 for grandStand, 90 cents for pavilion, and 65 cents for the bleacher variety.
 You've got to admit that such c pageant. is cheap at those prices.
 owners fear that the game at such prices will hurt regular at- tendance in the particular city in which 1t is held because, they req son, and quite lokically, that @ fan is hardly going to be satisfied with the Browns and the Nationals after seeing Dean and Hubbell and del1rig and Vaughn and Gomez and 0ehringer perform for the same price.
 Benefit for scalpers
 Owners believe that 1t would not be asking too much if they doubled the admission charge because, after all, quite c few of the citizens thought SO much of the game that they paid scalpers as much as si0 for one box seat.
 What is it7" asked one magnate, "a benefit game for the scalpers or for the ball players' association? If we double the price of admission the charitable organization will get more and the scalpers less because, after ell, there is limit to scalpers' Nstces, and I believe 9lO is that knit"
 etrangly, 10 of the National league players, including Bill Terry, who particiDated fot sweet charity iu this
