ST. LOUIS, July 25.-Who is this
Ernie White who has pitched the
st, Louis Cardinals right back into
first place in the National League
by racking up three mound victories
In as many days?
Both the New York Giants and
Brooklyn Dodgers, his chief victims,
will tell you he's one fine, hard
working southpaw and they regret
the day he ever changed his mind
about becoming a first baseman.
Always clamoring for work, Ernie
chalked up his 10th victory yes
terday by stopping the Giants cold
In a relief role, just as he had the
previous day to win No. 9. The day
before he drew the starting assign
nent against Bill Terry's crew and
recorded victory No 3, although he
didn't finish the game.
Strong Arm Chief Asset.
The pennant-mad Dodgers have
been set down three consecutive
times by the 24-year-old southpaw

Pros in ST. Paul Open
Determined 10 Call

Score of 81 in Tune-Up

Rv the Associated Press.

BY lDe ASSOclaled PRESS.
ST. PAUL. MINI, July 25.-May-
be little Ben Hogan can add more
cash to the s11, 900 or so he has won
already this season by finishing well
up in the $500 Open golf tourna-
ment starting today, but If he does
it will be only after battle.
Grapevine reports say Hogan's
feat OF placing in the money in 81
consecutive tournaments has aroused
the other pros and they are out to
stop him this time. But the 1885,
pound Texan will take some stop
ping. for he apparently definitely is
on his game.
Hogan fired a 81 in the pro-women
preliminary round over the SUM-
baked Keller course yesterday. which
is five under par. but he still has be-
hind Sam Snead. the Hot Springs
expert. who was as hot as the
weather. Snead blasted out a 66
while the mercury scared past 100,
his total including an eagle on the
18th.
Lloyd Mangrum of Monterey Park.
Calf, also turned in a 81 Yesterday,
as did Johnny Bulla, the big. hard
hitting Chicagoan. Mangrum's score,
coupled with a II for his partner,
Mrs. Lucille Mann of Omaha. Nebr,
was good enough for first place in
yesterdays event.
Some of the other name golfers
also served notice that Hogan will
have something TO beat to continue
his money winning record. Among
them were Dick Metz. former Keller
champion, who had a SO, and Clay
ton Hafner, Jimmy Hines and Denny
Shute, who carded COS.
With the pressure turned on
Hogan all the way. Nets record 270
made in 1899 could be cracked.
Pressure. however, never bothers
Hogan. He has put on plenty of it
himself and with the incentive of
keeping his winning streak intact he
easily might be the one to write a
new mark in the book.

CLIPPED POULTRY RANGES
PRODUCE BEST BIRD FEED

Farmers in Delaware are giving
increased attention to producing
good ranges. And most of these
farmers are poultry producers.
Tender, vitamin and mineral
filled grass makes healthy, fast
growing chickens and turkeys
more and better poultry meat and
eggs for the consumer and higher
prices for the poultryman.
These poultry ranges on Della
ware farms need almost as much
care as any pasture crop.
w. C. Skoglund, assistant re-
search poultryman at the Univer-
sity of Delaware Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, says that chick
ems won't eat old, coarse, woody
grass stems and leaves. He rec
ommends clipping poultry ranges
at this time of the year and during
the rest of the summer to keep
them from growing more than five
or six inches high.
Skoglund reports that dry wea-
ther a few weeks ago caused many
ranges to burn in spots. He ad-
vises that the burned grass be
clipped at once so tender, growth
resulting from recent rains will
have better chance of growing.
Throughout Delaware, poultry
men are finding that ladino clover
is a satisfactory range legume. Ex-
perience of these producers has
shown that ladino clover's lush,
abundant growth provides plenty
Of green, health-giving food for
both chickens and turkeys.
From 300 to 400 pullets per acre

Der acre is the number of birds to
,lace on good poultry ranges.
Skoglund suggests that hoppers

luently to keep sections of the
ange from killing out and to force
he birds to cover more of the
ange.
Poultry research workers at the
Delaware Station have set up a

ons to discover the most produc-
we and economical type of grass
