 New York Dec. l9.--tUP) --Lanky, gray-haired Robert Moses Grove, who'll be 40 on March 6, was the greatest pitcher in the American league last season, according to the official averages released today,

The Red Sox southpaw led the regular pitchers in earned runs with an average of 2,54 for B games and was fourth in the won and lost column with l6 victories and 1 defeats for 0 per- centage of .789.
 It was the ninth time in i6 years in the American league Grove has led the pitchers with the lowest earned run average, and the seventh time he has allowed less than three earned runs per nine inning game. Since he started with the Athletics in 1925 Grove has won 286 games, more than any other pitcher still active in the big show, and pitcher 285 complete games.
 Another Vet

JENKINS READY
 FOR CHANGE AT CHAMP AMBERS
Weill in Perfect Spot to Reap Another Golden
 Harvest

(Unitcu Press Stam COrrcSpOnuentl
 New York, Dec. 19-(UP)-Hym!e Caplin headed for the boxing conl- mission today with $500 forfeit check and Q shallenge for light- weight champion Lou Ambers to meet his new knockout sensation, Lew Jenkins of Texas.
 Manager Caplin and promoter Mike Jacobs of the 20th Century Club regard Jenkins the outstandign lightweight challenger by virtue of his knockout victory Friday night over Billy Marquart of Canada.
 However, their enthusiasm for Jenkins Is not shared by champion Ambers, nor his manager, Al We'll. Round We'll says, Listen, they's three other lightweights just as good as Jenkisi Sammy Angott, Davey Day and Pete Lello. Let Jen- kins get Into on elimination with them, an Ambers'll fight the win- nor. Ambers always had to go through elimhations, an Jenkins amt no better'n him."
 Since the time limit for Ambers to make e crown defense does not expire untir March g, the commits sion was expected to reject the Jenkins check and challenge.
 Despite thls seeming impasse, 1t is quite likely that Al We'll desires Q title tilt between champion Lou and challenger Lew. These pug pic lots often operate like diplomats or women, They mean ives" when they say 'no," and vice versa.
 Money Magnet
 No one knows better than We'll that Jenkins would draw more money with Ambers than any other lightweight, The hardhitting Texan has built up Q great New York fol- lowing with his string Of Metro- politan victories ad his grand show ing at the Garden Friday night. An Ambers.Jenklns match would sell out the Garden with Sll,60 tops.
 Because this match Is req hot, We'll apparently believes that he can Jimmy c big guarantee out of promoter Jacobs, just as We'll did back in '37 when he got more than $70,000 for Ambers to defend his title against Pedro Montanez in the O tdoor carnival of champions,
 We'll Is ia position maneuver for guarantees. He has the largest and busiest stable of ScrapperS in the world. His boys include Arturo Go- doy of Chile who fights Joe Louis for the heavyweight c rown on Feb. 0, and featherweight champion Joey Archibald.
 Tn connection with Archibald, We'll admits that he Is campaign" lng for 0 large guarantee for Q fea- ther crown defense. Petey scalzo of New York and Simon Chavez of Venezuela are fighting ct the Gar den Friday night, ostenslbly for the right to q crack at Archibald'S title. Both have beaten Archibald in non- title bouts.
 But Veil gives the scalzo- Chavez brawl the quick brush-off as fol- lows: T don't know nothin' about the winner fightin' Archibald. I'm dickerin' with New Orleans promot- CTS for Archibald to defend his title there against Jimmy Perrin South. ern champeen, on Feb. i2 or 20. They've offered e guarantee of Si0,- 900. If somebody wants Archibald to defend against the Scalzo- Chavez winner, somebody'il have to talk quick and big"

Speedy Picking OF
Cotton Suggested
By N. c.. Specialist

College Station, Raleigh, August
4.-The approaching cotton season
brought advice today from J. C.
Ferguson, cotton ginning specialist
of the State College Extension Ser
vice: Never put off until tomorrow
picking the cotton you can pick to-
day
Before the end of this month, there
will be scattered picking in some
sections Of the State, but the bulk
of the lint will be harvested after
September Is.
In discussing delayed picking,
Ferguson said: Zone days delay in
picking, of course, doesn't amount
to great deal. However, every day
lost increases the chance of running
into a rainy spell or some other in
terruption that will amount to days
or weeks"
Experiments conducted over past
years show definitely that long de-
lays in picking cotton knock down
its grade and quality In fact, in
VestigatiOns reveal that on an aver
age delay of four weeks caused
loss of one full grade in lint quail
ty.
"If you put this delay of four
weeks into dollars and cents" Fer
guson said, "The value of the cotton
will be cut anywhere from SO cents
to two dollars a bale, depending
upon the grade and staple length Of
the cotton
In addition to the damage to the
lint itself, extra losses are incurred
due to added trash that the cotton
has accumulated as a result of
standing too long in the field.
Another loss occurs when delayed
harvesting damages the quality of
the oil produced from the seed. Also,
! it has been found that the germina-
ton of seed kept for planting pur-
poses is lowered if cotton is left too
long in the field.

Raleigh, Aug. 4-Assistant Forester
w. G. Mccormick sees great import
ance and significance in the recent
formation of voluntary organiza-
ton of farmers and landowners of
the Pungo sections of Hyde and
Washington counties with the OBJ
jective of preventing forest fires.
Mccormick, who is in charge of
the forest control division of the De-
partment Of Conservation and De-
velopment, said it is the first Or
ganization of its kind in the eastern
section of the State, and the frs.
time any real effort has been, made
through voluntary action to limit and
regulate brush burning on private
lands.
He believes that organization of
the group will be followed by ex-
cellent results and predicts. spread
OF the Voluntary-cOoperation move
ment to other sections, even where
the situation regarding forest fires
is quite different from that existing
in Beaufort, Washington, Hyde and
adjacent counties.
Under the plan Of the new organiz-

whether or not brush burning per-
mits may be issued to individuals.
even during the season when per-
mits are legally required. The COM
mittee will also back up the district
and county forest Wardens in seeing
that the law regarding permits is OBJ
served
Whenever, in the opinion of the
committee, brush burning would be
dangerous it will be within the DOW
er of the group to refuse to grant
permission to any one, even during
the regular burning season.
In Beaufort, Washington, Hyde and
some other counties forest fires not
only burn up trees, but the soil as
well, Mccormick pointed out AS a
result it is dangerous to permit brush
burning when the water level is SO
low that the peat-like soil will also
