TRIBE ADDS ANOTHER GAME TO
LEAD: REDS, DODGERS DEFEATED
Yanks Make Clean Sweep
Of Series With Tigers;
Phils Whip Cubs; Bues
Down Bees
Especial to The Citizen

NEW YORK, Aug. 22-Cin-
cinnati Reds and Brooklyn Dod-
gers went down into defeat yes
terday at the hands of the New
York Giants and ST. Louis Car
dinals, respectively. The results
now place the Giants liz games
from the Redlegs and just six
games in the rear of the Dodgers,
with the Redbirds II contests in
back of the leaders and 61z
from the Brooklyn boys.
A single by Wick in the 18th
inning, scoring OFT. decided the
game in favor of the Giants over
the Reds. New Workers took the
series, 2 to l. Score was 5 to f.
Despite two home runs by the
Dodgers and being held to
measely six hits, the Cardinals
took yesterdays affair rs and
wound up the series with a clean
slate. A fifth-inning six-run
blast, as they put together five of
their safe blows. brought victory
to the fast-stepping Redbirds.
On the short end of 81 score,
Pittsburgh Pirates scored a run
in the fourth frame to knot the
count, and then went on to win
the game when Vince DiMaggio
pounded out two-bagger in the
eighth to send Arky Vaughan
home with the triumphant
marker for the Boston Bees.
Chicago Cubs Zeke Bonura
tied the game all up between the
Bruins and Philadelphia Phillies
as he smashed a four-bagger in
the ninth, but the homer that
counted was the one Charley
Frey poled in the tenth that gave
the Phils rs victory. A team
mate crossed the plate ahead of
Frey.
Cleveland Indians added an
other game to their lead yester-
day by downing the Boston Red
Sox, while the New York Yam
KEGS were making a clean sweep
of their series with the second
place Detroit Tigers.
Tribes victory was decided
early. Roy Mack's circuit clout
that produced two runs in the
second inning put the Indians
ahead and they remained that
way until the end of the game.
Harder allowed the Tigers IA
safeties but he came through in
tight spots.
Bosox sent four pitchers to the
mound in a vain attempt to check
the worlds champions. The
fourth, AL Benton, actually gave
the game to the New Workers.
With the bases loaded in the
ninth, he looped four straight
balls to Bill Dickey, forcing in
the winning tally. That run gave
the Yankees a one-run margin.
jim Tabor, Sox third sacker, be-
Iieved to be suffering from an
appendicitis attack, was taken to
a hospital during pre-game prac-
tice. He was replaced by Charlie
Colbert.
Not a single Chicago White
Sox player reached second or
third base in the game with the
Philadelphia Athletics yesterday.
Bill Beckman was the cause. His
five-hitter had the Chisox eating
out of his hand. Meanwhile, the
AS were held to five safeties but
were able to score three runs to
take the affair, 80.
Lowly ST. Louis Browns went
a little lower yesterday. Dutch
Leonard BANKED them, 3 to 0,
despite the fact they garnered
eight hits off his hurting The
victory ended Washington Sen
ators' losing streak at five games.

Hammer Mill Is Used
For Cleaning Seeds

BY slowing the speed of a ham-
mer mill, a grain grinder used on
farms, soil conservation service
workers have convenient tool for
cleaning the seeds of many of the
trees, shrubs, and vines used in con-
servation programs. With it they
have cleaned dry-shelled fruits such
as locust, catalpa, and rebud, and
fleshy fruits such as plums, grapes,
hawthorns, apples, and berries.
To prevent injury to the seed, the
hammer mill is operated slowly,
often at only 400 revolutions min
ute. With dry fruits the mill cracks
the shells, but not the seed. The
seed can then be cleaned with
tanning mill. With the feshy fruits,
the hammer mill smashes the pulp
and a stream Of water floats it
away, leaving the seed on the
screens Of the mill.
The usual nursery method OF sep
arating seeds from pulpy fruits has
been to ferment the fruits until the
seeds either float to the surface or
drop to the bottom of the tank. Ex-
periments show that the fermenta.
ton process often Injuries the seeds
so that they do not terminate free
ly. The hammer mill method of
cleaning is. not only cheaper, but
with intelligent management of the
mill to avoid injury to the seeds, it
results in betteT-quality seed with a
higher rate Of termination.

My memory is still keen over
those days. From the w. M. r. R.
west there were few. if any houses
on the road. On the south side
was small house where Isaac
Cushwa recently lived and on the
north side was the little cabin of
Johnny Smith, back in the lofty
rocks; further up behind and on
the corner near where High street
was the home of a cOlored woman.
Patience Summers. Further up
was the Black Horse Tavern. back
from the road where the bear and
bull batting were the regular
sports. The Buck tavern was far
out, surrounded by woods, and
was a scene of wild rivalry. 1t is
true that | have not served so long
at my trade as Mr.. Thornburg but
l can remember when the home of
the late Governor Hamilton was
building in 1886, that ! as a little
boy, mounted the carts and hauled
the. clay over to fill up the brick
yard behind where the Mansion
House property is, that my father
owned. He owned and built the
first house on that corner, a little
brick, which was added to from
year to year until it is the present
large property.
"A romance of those days." said
Mr. Slower, was an old French
man who lived in a little cabin, af-
forwards used as a stable, on the
Oliver lot, just above the Mansion
House. He was dreadfully poor,
had a beautiful wife and several
small children, and my father prac
tically kept him and looked after
him. He gardened for living,
His name was Monsieur Rue, so he
gave it with no first name or init
ials and he lived there in utter pow
erty, always claiming, however, to
be of a gentle family and of people
rich at home. One day word came
of a legacy which made him rich.
He blossomed out and began to
spend his money. He bought the
land of West Washington street,
now divided by Winter street and
later owned by Mr.. Albert and
built himself a fancy French cot
tage and developed beautiful
garden. The old stone part of the
property he left stand and later
used it as a bar room where he
ran what was practically a free
bar. His money went sailing and

CONGRESS:
Morgenthnu's Misery

Clad in an expensive new Easter
suit, the 1940-41 farm appropriation
bill was sent back to the house.
Only a few weeks earlier, dressed
in threadbare tatters, the house had
sent it to a big-hearted senate. At
that time it stood at STA 1000, 900,
well under Franklin Roosevelt's
"bed rock" figure. Now it was
1928, 100000, including 5000, 100000
for parity payments, and there was
an additional 500, 900, 900 for agricul-
tural loans.
Blown to kingdom come was the
self-righteous economy program
which featured congress earlier
weeks. The house was certain to
okay most of the enlarged farm
bill, nor was there much chance
that defense and relief appropria-
tons would be slashed substantially.
Like pink elephants in a nightmare,
