Headaches in Store
For Scha|k and Ems,
New A. A. Pilots
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
The immediate future holds little
but headaches for Ray Schalk and
Jewel Ems, the American Associa-
tion's two newest managers-head-
aches of the kind produced by losing
ball clubs.
Schalk, erstwhile Indianapolis
manager, took the reins of the Mil
waukee Club a week ago and was
doing all right until yesterdays
double -header with Louisville. The
Colonels won both games, to
and to 6, giving the club record
of 6 wins and losses since the new
skipper succeeded Mickey Heath.
Ems supplanted Wes Griffin as
the Indians pilot several weeks ago,
but the club still is in the depths
Kansas City was no help at all yes
terday, whipping the Indians twice,
9 to 8 and to S.
The double loss dropped Indian
apolis 21s games behind the seventh
place Toledo Mudhens. The Blues,
at the other end of the standing
increased their first place margin
to seven full games.

Maryland Golf Links
Menaeed by Dread
japanese Beetle
Greenskeepers Fear Pest
Viii Be Here in Full
Force Before Long

Get ready to duck, you golf green's
keepers. The Japanese beetles are
coming. They're already here, or
at least the advance guard OF the
beetle hosts are here. Those green
bugs you see down at East Potomac
Park, hitting you on the nose as
you stoop over TO putt. are Japanese
beetles and they are the outposts
of an all-destroying army which a
few years hence will invade Wash
ington as no army has done in the
memory Of man.. At least that's
what Bob Scott, keeper of the green
pastures of Baltimore Country Club,
says.
Scott is genuinely concerned, as
who wouldn't be with the RESPONSE
bility of keeping green some 400 or
500 acres of golf property, worth
millions of dollars. Only 40 miles
away to the north the Japanese
beetle army, spreading wide path
of devastation, slowly moves down
toward his golf course and toward
the golf courses and green trees in
the Washington area.
Bob went North the other day
to investigate the japanese beetle
damage around Elkton, Md. What
he found he described as appalling.
mo leaves were left on the trees,
no fruit and vegetables remained,
the grass was eaten. Everything
green was gone. All that remained
was the kernel inside the peaches,
the cores and seeds of the apples"
We asked Scott how fast the
beetle army moves. About IA miles
a year." he said. And they're
coming this way. Well soon have
them in Baltimore, in millions, and
you'll have them in Washington,
not the few you now have, but an
army that is so big it will take over
everything"
The Japanese beetle invasion
dates back to 1916, when a ship
ment Of sfrubbery from Japan con-
tanned some of the bugs. From
that meager beginning they have
spread over much of the East. But
they haven't yet come South in
great quantities. "They will" says
Scott, land then the headaches we
greenskeepers now have really will
be headaches"
What is being done about it?
Well, the University of Maryland
has gone about combating the men
ace by advocating use of beetle
traps. These instruments of death
to the bugs are effective. Mary
land destroyed 104 tons of trap
caught beetles last year and ad-
mits the traps are good. But nearby
Maryland hasn't been hit as has
been the upper part of the State.
So when the beetles come don't
say you haven't been warned. Un-
less they can be destroyed in the
ground. before they hatch, they will
come. But it VIII take several years
for the bislafrny ID Teach wash
ington.

When Challedon defeated KAYAK
I'd in the Hollywood Gold Cup last
Saturday 1t marked the third time
In as many meetings that the Mary
land colt has licked the imported
Westerner. There still remains
some question, however, as to which
is the better race horse.
Not always does the won and lost
column conclusively prove which OF
two racers Is the more capable. A
few years ago Mate licked Twenty
Grand in two of three races, but
no one seriously believed that Mate
was superior and subsequent events
proved he was not. Challedon, in
fact, was beaten by Johnstown in
two of their first three meetings,
but Challedon later evened the
score and went on to further glory
while John went back to the farm
for life.
Both Can Beat 2:02.
Such cases are not particularly
rare and, even though Challedon
has come through each time against
Kayak, he may find himself on the
short end some fine day. Both
are capable of running a 1A-mile
race in better than 2;O2 and when
runners of this caliber hook up it
Is likely to be question of which
gets the breaks.
Kayak has had none the better
of things in his duels with Challe-
don. The first time they met was
in the Narragansett Special and
Kayak had not started for six or
seven weeks. Nearly every horse
needs conditioner before an i'm
portant test. He also was giving
Challedon 10 pounds actual weight
and S or 6 on the scale, although
the Argentine really is only few
months older than the Old Liner.
When Kayak is in best form he is
powerful stretch runner, but in
the Narragansett race he tired after
taking a short lead at the top of the
final bend. That was enough to
show he was not fit.
Last fall Kayak again hooked up
with Challedon The race was the
Pimlico Special and once again
Kayak started without benefit OF
prep race. He had not been post
ward for six weeks and while he
was on the head end at the three
sixteenths pole he gave way slowly
and lost by half a length. Again it
seemed a matter of condition-or
lack of same-that beat him. BY
way of proving as much. Kayak
came back a few days later and
smashed the Pimlico track record in
winning easily the Bowie Handicap
at is miles.
He's Tough When Right.
Kayak, bothered off and on with
tendon trouble. has been an in-and-
outer, but when he's right he's al
most unbeatable When he won
the Santa Anita Handicap two
years ago in record breaking time
and when he finished a strong sec
ond to his stablemate. Seabiscuit,
in the Santa Anita last winter, it
is doubtful that Challedon'. would
have headed him.. '' ~ - -

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 29.-The
kid with thp candy-striped shirts
was having the last laugh today
and it was a big enough one to shake
every one of his 230 pounds.
For Ed Porky) Oliver, now of
Hornell, N. Y.-out of Wilmington,
Del.-was feeling very good about
this game of golf-a game which in
the last seven months has seen him
skyrocket to national attention. He
had check for 81 900 as his reward
for winning the st. Paul Open and
the satisfaction of knowing since
January l he has won three cham
pionships on COLTS money circuit.
But more than that, he thinks he
at last has convinced most every
one his 287 in this years National
Open was no f1uke.
Oliver Is Convincing.
boy, it felt great to win yester-
day" he said. Sixteen hundred
dollars is lot of money. I'll admit
I felt bad about being disqualified
. in the Open, though I'm blaming no
one for that. But I feel that if I
can keep playing we'll people will
believe that 287 wasn't all luck"
The people" who saw the likeable
23year-old youth score 276 for
70 holes at Keller course are con-
vinced he has real golf game.
Wearing variety of wildly striped
shirts-which may become as
famous as Gene Sarazen's knickers-
Ire had rounds of 66-71-70-69.
In furious stretch drive, he
caught and passed Dick Metz of Oak
Park, ILL.,, who with Willie Goggin
of Chicago finished with a total of
277 And in fourth place at 278
was Lawson Little, who won the
National Open last month in play
off with Sarazen after divers tying
score of 287 had been thrown out
because he started his final round
too early.
FOULS Finished Fifth.
Jim FOULS of the Chicago district
finished fifth with 279 aggregate,
just shot under the totals turned
in by Sam Snead and Jimmy Hines
Ben Hogan, the Nations leading
money winner, and Tony Penna of
Dayton. Ohio had aggregates of
281. Low scoring amateur was Jim
Ferrier of Australia, with 267.
Oliver, who began playing golf as
q caddy II years ago, won his first
two big r"1ey championships this
year in the Phoenix and Bing
Crosby opens. He is scheduled to
play next at the Milwaukee Open

COLONEL REICHE DIES

Colonel Gottfried I. Reiche,
the youngest corporal to serve
under General Sherman in the
Civil war, passed away at his
home in Helena last week. He
was 50 years old, and on Lin
coins birthday would have been
honored que; at 6 dinner to be
given by veterans organizations
of Lewis and Clark county.
Colonel Reiche's death leaves
only two or three Civil war
veterans in Montana. For
number of years, Colonel Reiche
has been GAR. custodian with
offices in the capitol. During
his years in the Union army
he met President Lincoln many
times.
One of the many colorful
events in his full life occurred
after the great flood in Ohio in
the eighties. The Cincinnati
Chamber of Commerce gave
Colonel Reiche $4,000 and a
rowboat, telling him to travel
through the country along the
Ohio river aiding flood suffer-
ers. Every dollar of the huge
fund was spent by the colonel
without a miShap.

CONSERVATION PROJECTS
IN ROOSEVELT COUNTY

The Importance that water
development has in the agri-
culture of Roosevelt county is
illustrated by the fact that dur
ing 1889, 38 farmers and stock
men in the county completed 80
water conservation practices,
says R. H. Sterling, county ex-
tension agent.
These projects, Sterling re-
ports, consisted of IT flood ir-
rigation systems, 10 stock wa
ter reservoirs and three pump
irrigation systems. Nearly all of
the 80 completed projects
earned an AAA payment.
A total of SIS water conserva-
ton projects including "a flood
systems, % stock water reser-
voirs, and three pump irriga-
ton projects were surveyed by
the county extension agent in
1889. Flood irrigation projects
are either of the spreader ditch
or flood dixie type. All are based
on the plan of diverting spring
flood water from couleeS and
holding it in the soil for the use
of the crop the following sea-
son. Stock water reservoirs are
recommended where stock wa
ter is NEEDED for adequate use
of adjoining range. Pumping
systems are adapted mainly
along streams which flow dur
ing the growing season.
The surveying and laying out
of water conservation systems
is part of the water conserva-
ton project carried by the
Roosevelt county extension SER
vice. Through this project far
mers are encouraged to take
advantage of the payments
available under the Agricultur-
al Adjustment administration
program and construct practical
projects which will tend to sta
billie farming operations and
improve the conservation on
their farms.
