DRENCO MAY BE SPARK NEEDED
 TO FIRE GIANTS
Loss of Jurges May Prove Less Than Expected as
 Ex-Card Gets Chance
BY PAUL sHEFFELs

New York, March 4.-(UP)-The ite mfrom Miami said briefly that Billy JurgeS was through as Q reg ular player with the New York Giants and that "only Joe Orengo" was available as a replacement.
 Today that "only Orengo" stands as the most unfair alliteration in baseball because the husky young San Francisco Italians short-stop- ping talents are varied enough to propel the Giants back into the Na- tional League pennant picture for the first time in four years.
 Undoubtedly the inability of Jur- ges to perform at his shortstop post with his accurate regularity is a ter. rife blow to the Giants machine on paper but let's take look at the "only Orengo" lyrics and see if the tune should be dirge or a victory songs.
 His chief claim to major league fame in his two years with the St, Louis Cardinals is @ reputation foi being the gabbiest ballplayer in the National League. Coming in . cir- cult which also harbors such rec nowned adjective -destroyers as Leo Durocher, Dizzy Dean, Frankie Frisch and Gabby Hartnett, to name few. that is quite 6 distinction His physical attributes are . fine pair of hands, an iron arm and best of all, heart that fits right into the profession.
 Not So Bad
 On the technical side, he's played only one full year with the Car dinals and during 129 games. scored 58 runs, connected for 1i9 hits, in. cluding g doubles, four triples ant seven home runs and drove in 5l runs for a batting average of .287. Confident
 He came to the Giants last Nov 25 for cash and players with only one outstanding fault. an unortho- dox batting swing that baseball's rail-birds blame for his strikeout record--90 in l29 games.
 Listen to Joe's rebuttal:
 "If I'm just let alone and my natural style is unchanged, I betcha I'll outhit more players than am outhit by this year.
 I'm not the first gent that swung awkwardly--look at Al Simmons and Joe Medwick. They both have pecu- liar stances and they tell me those boys could hit. Simmons used to hit 'em where they weren't and Med- wick plastered wild pitches, inside and outside"
 Orengo has been deferred into class 3A by the selective service as q man with dependents. He drives Q meat truck during the off-season and managed a ball team for a packing company to the class A win ter league title in San Francisco.
 Manager Bill Terry has already gone on record with: Tt looks like Jurges Is out and Orengo is in. We have neither the money nor the players to make 6 deal for another star. I'm going to help Joe witt all I know about infeld work and- you never can tell"

 The strangest angle to the Brook lyn story is that Larry MacPhail, who tossed all that money around, Is now banking on young Pete Relser, who cost the club exactly $l00.

Another reason for slim hips

BUTTE Helpful to Montana
gardeners will be the booklet re-
leased this month listing plants
which are hardy in high attitudes
Written by the Montana PWA
Writer'S project and sponsored by
the Rocky Mountain Garden club
the attractive booklet will serve as
a handbook to gardeners.
The booklet contains a compre-
henslve list Of trees, shrubs, bien-
mails and perennial border and rock
plants that have survived at least
two winters in attitudes over 5000
feet Cleverly jaeketed by the
Butte WPA Art center. the pamph-
let lists plants in alphabetical or
der using both botanical and COM
mon names ANIMALS and vege-
table crops are not included. Cul-
tural directions are given only in
those cases where the plant re-
quIres special treatment to be hardy
Perhaps the principal reason
why SO many Montana gardeners
have confined their plant materials
TO the old reliables' in past years
IS the prevalent impression that
only a few plants can survive the
rigorous winters Of cur latitude and
high elevations, the booklet states
Whatever may be the rea-
son, q few adventurous gardeners
have boldly experimental for a
number Of years and have estab-
lished beyond doubt that the ex-
tensive list Of plants contained in
this booklet can be successfully
grown
Undoubtedly incomplete. the list
will be added to as further re-
visions are made upon experiment
tation and establishment of the
hardness of other plants.
