THuMRNAIL pHEvrEw OF $500
CHICAGO WHITE Sox

rookie pitcher, fresh from uni
Iversity campus in Texas, ID years
ago.
That is Ted Lyons.
Everyone knows the story of
Ted Lyons, how he has been the
mainstay of the Chicago White
Sox mound corps for lol these
many years, and how, like Old
Man River, he apparently is des-
tined to go on forever.
yeah, I feel pretty good this
year. My arms okay, l guess
Think how many times, season
after season, Ted Lyons has an
sWered that question.
He's one of bsseball's best sell
ing points-and something of a
salesman himself.
No wonder the fans idolize
him. There was a little scene in
San Bernardino the other day.
Lyons had finished his work and
was walking out under the grand
stand, still in uniform. Just as he
reached the exit, a small voice
squeaked out, 'Ted!"
Lyons wheeled about and saw
a young urchin of about eleven
hanging over the stair railing, a
program and a scrubby pencil in
his hand. He promptly marched
back, and with perspiration drip
ping off his nose, took time out
to autograph the sheet.
Lyons dosen't live or play in
San Bernardino. That youngster
couldn't mean a thing in his life.
Yet he signed the program with
all the care and ceremony Of a
magma charter. That was Ted
Lyons.
Lyons has made good money,
but hardly fortune. in baseball.
Think of the salary he would
have earned with a rich club
like the Chicago Cubs or the
Yankees in Col. Ruppert's days.
But does he have any regrets?
Did he ever get sore, break train
ing or threaten to quit baseball?
No. He's never been a hold
out.

BAER VERSUS
| NOVA TONIGHT
Make AND LOU QUESTION
MARKS; BOTH TRYING
sGszStkf@ 81 : - ~ - -
FOR CRACK AT LOUIS
tBy Associated Press,

NEW YORK, April 4.-Lou
Nova, who expects TO lift Joe
Louis heavyweight crown this
summer, and Max Baer, who tried
it, clash tonight at Madison
Square Garlen in the most inn
portant of the current elimination
bouts.
Nova, knockout conqueror OF
the California playboy in their
last outing, enters the ring as a
question mark. He took brutal
lacing from Tony Galento in his
last fight, then nearly died of an
infection, and his condition will
be a question untl he gets into
the ring with Baer.
Make, riding the crest after
his Knockout victories over Ga
lento and Pat Comiskey, is al
ways a question. If he fights to-
night, most experts think he will
take Nova and have good chance
to win back his heavy crown from
Louis.
Baer is the harder hitter of the
two and will enter the ring to-
night a favorite. The fight is
scheduled TO start at 10 O'clock
(EST).

McCOWNS CLIMB l
I'M JUNIOR HIGH
BASKET TOURNEY,

Lysle McCown's rookie cagers
moved forward in the Junior
High School Basketball Tourna-
ment by registering pair of vic
tories in as many days and
games.
+ Defeating the recruits coached
by George Barber 1927 Wednes-
day. the McCowns took on Harry
Colgate's juniors yesterday and
administered 1922 shellacking.
The triumphs showed the Nc
Gown five into a tie for second
place.
First upset of the tournament
saw the ''victory-less" Robert
Hamlins roll over the undefeated
John Menendez quintet, 44-28,
yesterday afternoon. The loss
dropped the Menendez five from
a leadership tie into. another tie
for second place. Hamlins rose
out of the cellar, leaving the Or
mond Cordova Juniors, who lost
Wednesday 1881 to Anthony
McMahon's recruits, comfortably
settled in the bottom with four
defeats and no victories.

candy. Older children should be
educated to know what good
lunch is and how to select it for
themselves.
In many schools the teacher,
school nurse, or dental hygienist
has graded the lunches which the
children select in the cafeteria with
square red cards available from the
State Board of Health. These cards
state, "You Have an A Lunch" OF
suggest that milk, fruit or veget-
able, or a substantial food is needed
before the lunch can meet the
grade A requirements.
In some schools dental hygien-
lists have set up make believe
,cafeterias" in the class room with
State Board of Health wax food
models or with real foods loaned
from the cafeteria. The children
can then discuss and criticize their
own food selections.
Candy is the worst offender in
enticing nickels away from items
which supply the needed food vail
ues-milk, vegetables, fruit, egg
and meat dishes. A display of
many different kinds of candy will
often tempt child to spend half
or even all his lunch money for
food which has little to recommend
it except flavor.
Added to candy are the so-called
penny snatchers." Such things
as pretzels, pickles, potato chips
and marshmallows appear too COM
monty on most, but not all, of our
school lunch counters.
Each school superintendent and
cafeteria manager must decide
whether their school will sell candy
and if so, how they will sell it.
! Many cafeterias depend upon
candy and penny snatchers" for
profits to make up for losses on
other items. If candy and penny
snatchers" are discontinued, prices
must be often rearranged and a
reasonable price charged to cover
the most and preparation of the
other foods.
Some schools are using meal
! tickets which can be spent only
for nourishing food. If a child
wishes to have candy he must bring
cash from home for that. This
leaves the decision up to the par
ent as to what kind of a lunch he
wants his child to have.

BUY SUB-STATION LAND
Purchase Transactions for the 80
Acre Site Have Been Completed

A longtime goal of Delaware
rural leaders-to have agricultural
researvh conducted in the southern
part of the state as well as at the
University of Delaware in Newark
now appears as a reality after
Gov. Walter w. Bacon's announce
ment that final purchase transac-
tions for the 310-acre site of the
Lower Delaware Agricultural Re-
search Sub-Station were completed
last week. An appropriation of
the last Legislature paved the way
for establishment of the sub-tation
after lower Delaware farmers prov
ed the need for carrying on vital
re research in their section of thte
state where soil and climatic con-
ditions are different from those at
University Farm. The new station
will operate on what was formerly
known as the John A. Tyndall
farm, located on the Laurel George
town road, Delaware Route No. %,
six miles west of Georgetown. The
farm was selected by an agricul-
tural sub-tation commission ap-
pointed by Governor Bacon. Many
farms were inspected by the COM
mission members: Preston Town
send, Millsboro; Harley Hastings,
Bethel, and K. ]. Kadow, Univers-
ity of Delaware, before the Tyndall
property was purchased.

A survey among Sc rural Delaware

the year. The Delaware home

that "the homemaker who can do
some sewing at home is particular
ly fortunate this year. Many a
rural homemaker has found it nee
essary to assist with farm chores
this summer. And along with can
ming, this farm work has not left
her much spare time. The family
will have to cooperate with her and
relieve her as cook and laundress
so she may turn seamstress for a
time to help ease the strain on the
family purse" Present prospects
indicate fewer choices in ready-to-
wear garments. And there is pos
sibility of a scarcity of some ma
terials like wool and silk. Also,
costs of ready-to-wear garments
will continue to go up. So cloth
ing choices must be made without
mistakes. Articles will probably
be bought with the idea of longer
wear so the homemaker must know
workmanship, quality, expected
length of wear and whether or not
the attire can be cared for easily
at home. Homemakers have re-
ported longer wear from garments
of better grade. They feel such
clothing is good investment. Care
of clothing is a job for all members
of the family. Boys and girls can
be taught the Importance of hang
ing up their clothes and other ways
to care for them. They should have
ample closet and drawer space for
their clothing needs. Good laun-
dering practices should be carried
out for all clothing. Miss Whit
comb claims garments may be pre-
served for longtime use by check
ing the labels which give full clean
ing instructions.
