Tobacco Outlook Remains
Good In This Territory
About Half of Crop
Planted and Most of
1t Living; Farmers
Buying Plants in East
crn a n d Southern
Belts
BY FRED M. ALLEN, Jr.,
Sales Supervisor, Henderson
Tobacco Market

With warm dry weather through
out the past week, crop conditions
throughout Vance and surrounding
counties remain good Very little
change in percentage of crop trans
planted has been noted since last
week, percentage planted being about
As percent If predictions of rain
transpire within the next day or
so, rs. percent of the local tobacco
crop will be transplanted next week.
Plants already in the ground are
showing up nicely, with very small
percentage dying.
Conditions still warrant a predic-
ton of IS to 20 percent increase in
acreage. A number of farmers have
gone to the east and south belts this
past week and have purchased plants,
not waiting on neighbors to finish
up to borrow plants locally. Plants
appear to be easily procured to the
south of this section from all reports
received.
A feature that is noticed through
out this belt is better preparation
of the land before transplanting
which will result in the making of
a much better crop than last year.
With persent crop conditions pre-
vailing, an early crop should result.
Several Henderson warehousemen
are attending a meeting in Richmond
this weekend to discuss proposals
relative to selling conditions this fall,
which will be peresened to the U. S.
Tobacco Association meeting at
white Sulphur Springs the last of
June.

 Set Victory

John Stollar, winner of the Ham, ilton Park singles, gained the quar- ter finals of the Chase Park tourn- ament last night when he defeated Stan Yegela in straight sets of 6-3, 6-3. Stollar is playing his best ten his of the year and should easily gain the finals which will be played on Sunday. Joe Sullivan, seeded number two, gained the semi-finals when he defeated George Audetee GA, 6-1. It looks as if Sullivan and Stollar will meet each other in the finals if they continue to play the excellent tennis which they have displayed in the early rounds of the tourney. Charley Lee defeated an- other Chase Park favorite, Cliff Balcom, 6-2, 6-3. Jim Mullen also gained the quarter finals when Greg Malootian defaulted to him.

'AUSSIES SECOND DOUBLES TEAM
 PLAY J. s. STARS
Parker and McNeill "On the Spot"- -Quist and
 Bromwich "Tops"
By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff CorrespOndent)

United Press StaH C0rreSpOndent) Chestnut Hill, Mass, Aug. 18- (UP) P)-Australia's two Davis cup master minds, Harry Hopman and Jack Crawford, will have a fine op- portunity to shatter the confidence, if any, of the Amercan cup side to- day in semi-final match of the 58th National Tennis Doubles championship.
 Today's feature engagement on the Longwood Cricket club turf pits Hopman and Crawford against Frankie Parker and Don McNeill, and it would be a shattering blow to American morale if Harry and Jack came out winners. Crawford and Hopman form the No. 2 Australian team and are considerably weaker than the No. l outfit of Jack Brom- wich and Adrian Quist. Parker and McNeill, on the other hand, are the top-seeded American team nj the tournament, which means that those in the know rate them as the strongest tandem we have.
 So you can see what it would dc to our cup side to have one of its very best combinations, ne which may be called on to help defend the cup, beaten by a pair who can scarcely win set from Quist and Bromwich. Certainly it wouldn't help the morale of the boys, and they need encouragement after watching the devastating play of Quist and Bromwich in routing Gene Mako and Jack Tidball in straight sets yesterday.
 Can Win
 Crawford and Hopman can win, too. In licking the British Czech tandem of Charlie Hare and Ladis- lay Hecht yesterday they played better tennis than Parker and Me- Neill have shown in the tournament to date. No one thought that the veteran Crawford could last more than three or four sets, but he played five blisterng ones under a blistering sun yesterday and was full of life at the finish. It is a pleasure to watch Crawford play He isn't as fast or as powerful as he wa sa few years back when he was No. in the world, but his stroke production is still the same perfect one. He hits every shot just as the book says it should be hit-easy full, and with effortless grace.
 Those amazing women players Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan and Alice Marble are booked to play their semi-final match against Mime. Sylvia Henrotin of France and Mrs. Dorothy Andrus of Stamford Conn.,, today and will win in z breeze. There isn't team in the field capable of carrying the world champions to extra sets, or even making them fully extend them- selves. No team has ever won the title three times in succession, but only miracle of the very highest order can prevent Mrs. Palfrey and Miss Marble from turning the trick this year.

M'SPADEN LEADING
 CANADIAN OPEN

Saint John, N. B., Aug. 18-(UP) -Pipe-smoking Jug McSpaden paced the parade today as the field teed of in the second round of the Ca- nadian open golf championship.
 The Winchester, Mass. pro played around IS holes of the Riverside links in three under par 67 yester- day to set new tournament record for the course and take a two-stroke lead over the 82-man field.
 Former U S. open champion Ralph Guldahl was tied with Ted Bishop Boston amateur, and Arthur Hull bert, Toronto pro, at 69. Guldahl probably would have had a 67 had not a photographer jumped in front of him as he was driving off the ninth tee. The ball veered of into deep woods to the. right, and Ralph needed a six, two strokes over par. Guldahl is the betting favorite to take the title left undefended by Sam Snead.

'LECS' CALESK| WALL0PS PET|E
 BURKE AT GOLF
Startling Upset Regis tered on Hop Brook
 Links Yesterday
By Marty Lucas

Naugatuck, Aug. 18-Undaunted by the indictment weather prevail ing over the weekend, all first round matches in the four divisions were played with some being real thrillers. One to prove such in the championship flight was the match between Joe Bay" Wujick and Bill Lucas.
 Both played superb golf and fin- ishing even at the eighteenth hole, had to play an extra hole where Wujcik emerged the victor by vir- tue of l up. Wujcik, known as the come back kid" in this years play, is one of the favorties along with "Ziggie" Furs, Pete Burke and Gus Klem.
 Marty Lucas, one of the medalists, went down to defeat by and 3, to John Gomolinski, an up and coming youngster, who played sensational sub-par golf to win. Johnnie Legs" Galeski had little trouble in down. ing Ralph Hanson and ziggie Furs, toyed with "Zbysko" Sosnowski to win by margin of 6 to 5.
 In the second flight, Tom Lucas, defending champ, had a little diff ficulty in disposing of Judge Thom- as Weary, who is playing good golf these days by 2 and 1. Stan Mag anski encountered stiff opposition, but came through to take the vet eran and still 8 great shot maker, Charles F. Slade, principal of the N. H. S., by 2 and 1. Leo Lucas had little trouble in downing G. Boucrs 6 and 5.
 In the Old Timers Division, Dr. A. E. Anderson took the measure of Donald McCollum by and 5. Roy Johnson disposed Of Rosser Donley 2 and 1. A Watson defeated Wally Anderson: Carl Pepperman defeated P. Peterson; Phil Robinson defeated Harry Anderson.
 At the Board of Directors meeting last week, it was decided that val uable prizes were to be given away to the winners of their respective divisions. Also, plans are being made to hold another social or dance to end the summer season.
 Quite a bit of interest is drawn, due to the fact that a women s tourney is planned for the first time on the borough course, with capable golfers such as Mrs. H. Mor- rell, Mrs. Sybil Freedman, Mrs. R.. Armstrong, Cathrine Talbot, Kat tie Curin, Cora Adamson, J. Pior- koWski. Betty Duff. Kitty Rolf. Mill dred Carlson, Mrs. I. Anderson, Mae Foley, Mary Sweeney, and many others. Final plans will be an- nounced soon.
 Yesterday at Hop Brook. start ling upset was registered when Johnny Legs Galeski scored over Petie Burke, and 3. In another match Frank Green took over Chuck Waskowitz, 5 and 4.

PARANTEAU PITCHES
 TWO HIT VICTORY

After having lost straight games in the second round the South End Bulldogs finally broke their jinx by defeating the Centrals last night by a score of nine to one. Jerry Paran- teau struck out five men and limit ed the losers to two catered hits to win his seventh game of the year. Bruno Bournival the losing pitcher, was touched for six hits but the poor fielding of his mates who commit ted no less than ten errors spoiled the Centrals chances of winning Teddy Galucci who connected for two singles lead the Bulldogs to vic- tory. Besides getting two hits Galuc- ci scored two runs himself and bat- ted in three. George Donais's lone single in two trips at the plate was tho losers best bot.
