Quizzing the Diaries

The action of five Cumberland dair-
les in refusing to accept the milk offer
ed by the Tri-State Milk Producers AS
ISOLATION a group of small milk farmers
and shippers, is seriously menacing the
health of Cumberland Milk consumers.
The five dairicS have gone out
on strike against the shippers who
notified the dairieS that on Nov. Is,
the price of milk would be So dol
lars per hundred pounds. or So per
Ii quarts. The dairies, without con-
>idrring the serious consequences
ot StOppage of milk to the con-
>umer>. have absolutely refused to
pay members of the Tri-State Milk
Producers Association the deter
mined price. Without a doubt. that
refusal has curtailed the supply of
milk in Cumberland.
But. at the same time. the diaries
have been reaching into PENNSYLVANIA
and other regions untouched by them
before, for milk which is INFESTED by
Maryland milk inspectors And in order
TO weaken the shippers association. the
dalrles have been paying between $500
and S4.14 per hundred pounds for that
milk. The amount of milk obtained in
Pennsylvania is just drop in the milk
bucket when compared with the am
cunt of milk which has been literally
wasted by the refusal of the diaries to
purchase milk.
Consumers would be doing them
selves great service if they demand
ed milk from cows tested by Maryland
milk inspectors. They would be doing
the milk shippers a greater favor if
they would ask questions of the diaries,
questions such as:
Why did you pay the farmers
S.Oo.95 per quart of milk, and
charge the consumers 13 cents per
quart?
Why is your margin of operat-
ing expense and profits more than
100 percent over the price you were
paying the farmers:
Why do you buy milk in Penn
NylNania for a higher price than
milk is sold here:
Is there any truth in the rumor
that YOU are considering another
increase in the price of milk to con

By HARRY FERGUSON


NEW YORK, May Il. (UP)-The
Goodall round robin tournament,
one of golf's sternest tests, opens
at Fresh Meadow tomorrow and
the favorite is little Ben Hogan,
who is just wee bit taller and
wider than the driver he swings.
Bookmakers hold him at the
short price of to | in field OF
Is OF the best professionals in the
game. Most of his opponents will be
big guys with hallDack shoulers
and heavyweight arms, but the
bookies still think that Hogan, who
weighs barely 140 when he has
a heavy sand wedge in his hand,
is the man to beat.
Hogan is something out of Hora-
ito Alger-the poor BOY who made
good, the little fellow who put in
weary hours of practice TO overcome
his lack of size, the lad who made
a promise to his mother years ago
and saw that promise come true.
Just because golf does not involve
bodily contact, don't get the idea
that it doesn't require stamina and
strength. The National open cham
pionship-a grind Of 70 holes-finds
many of the boys trucging into the
clubhouse limp and exhausted. But
the Goodall is almost twice as bad.
The 5 players go 126 holes and
it's match play all the way witn
never a chance to relax the strain
on nerve and muscle.
Hogan finds himself pitted against
such husky citizens as Craig Wood,
Vic Ghezzi, Jimmy Thomson, Law
son Little, Clayton Heafner, Jimmy
Hines and Ed Oliver. Any one Of
them probably could pick him up
with one hand, but little Benny will
stand on tee and, on the average,
belt a golf ball as far as any of
them.
Hogan's hands tell the story of
how he got that way. They are a
mass of callouses where he has
gripped clubs for years in hour after
Imperial Valley press., 1941-05-21
Today's Sport Parade

hour of practicing. Other pros could
spend their time playing bridge or
chewing the fat in the clubhouse.
Benny was eternally placticing, hit
ting long irons, short irons, woods
and staying on the practice green's
till dark closed IN Oh him.
When he was Is years old and
caddying down in Texas, his mother
suggested it might be a good idea
for him to get summer job in
stead of spending his time Juggling
clubs around the course.
"Mom," the kid replied, I'm 60
ing TO work. I'm going TO work at
golf and some day Iii be a great
golf player
There were many times IN his
subsequent career when it appeared
that his prediction would never come
true. Luck seemed to run against
him, and he once shot three 66s
in the Texas open only to have
somebody tie him and then win the
play-off.
Hogan really got under way last
year. The hours of practice began
to count. Something in his game
started to click and he began roll
ing up victories. During one stretch
last season he reeled off 216 holes
of competitive golf in "a under par
Ten times in II rounds he broke TO-
To make up for his lack of size
Hogan has developed a full swing
and terrific impact at the moment
the club meets the ball. But his
chief weapon against the big boys
at Fresh Meadow will be his ability
to concentrate, to dismiss every
thing from his mind except the job
of getting the little white ball into
the hole in the fewest possible num-
ber of shots.
Hogan won the tough Goodall last
year and the law or averages ought
to be running against him this trip.
But you can't sell that idea to the
bookmakers who know what the
little fellow can do when the pres
sure is heaviest.

Reds Revive i'm
Final Inning
To Beet Boston

NEW YORK, May 2l CUP)-There
was some evidence today to indl-
cate that the Worlds Champion
Cincinnati Reds, who cavorted like
something out of a circus sldesho"
during the first month OF the sea-
son, finally have unwound them
selves.
Scoring six runs in the ninth in
ming. the Reds overcanle three run
deficit Yesterday to trim the Boston
| Braves, 9-6.
1t was the Reds third straight
win. and gave them undisputed pos
session of fifth place,
In their last three games, the Reds
have made 20 runs, or exactly the
number they made in nine games
previous to their curl ent streak.
They've started to hit, which was
the main thing wrong with them
They made 10 hits yesterday, IA
Monday and II Sunday. In then
first 25 games they averaged less
than seven hits per game. Big Frank
Mccormick homer with two out
and two mates on in the ninth was
the crowning blow OF the Reds six
run rally. 1t was Mccormick sew
enth homer but his first with any
body on base. Ernie Koy, recently
bought from the Cards, slugged a
homer and double, driving in four
runs. e.,
Elmer Riddle, who pitched the
ninth following Whitley Moore and
Gene Thompson to the mound, re-
ceived credit for the victory. Dick
Erickson held the Reds scoreless
in the first five innings but was
relieved after Koys homer in the
eighth. Johnson couldn't stop the
Reds and Javery was the victim OF
Frank Mccormick homer.
The Dodgers nosedive continued
with their fourth straight loss, a
81 shellacking by the Chicago Cubs
Kirby Higbe was the loser and
for the fourth time in his last five
starts failed to finish. Lou Stringer,
Cub rookie who took over Billy
Herman'S job, drove in four runs
Imperial Valley press., 1941-05-21

with a triple and single while Her
man was helpless before Bill Lees
slants. In their last four games
Dodger pitchers have allowed the
opposition 33 runs while Brooklyn
has scored only eight.
Pittsburgh moved INTO sixth place
by beating the Giants, 7-5. ArKy
Vaughan's first homer of the season
with a mate on base was the Pr
ates' margin of victory. Bob Klinger
went the route to win No. 2.
The amazing Phillies spotted the
league leading Cardinals four runs
and then came on TO beat them, Ga,
in II innings. RiZzo'S single and
Nick Etten's double in the eighth
tied the score. Then Marine and
May singled home two runs in the
eleventh. Ike Pearson'S one-hlt re-
lief pitching in the last five innings
stopped the Cards cold. The Phlls
slugged out 18 hits.
Cleveland dropped its third
straight to the Athletics, 6-5, and
the Indians American league lead
melted to two games over the White
Sox who trimmed Washington, So.
Fine relief pitching by Rookie Tom
Ferrick, who blanked the Tribe in
the last two frames, and Pete Suder's
homer won for the AS.
Thornton Lee held the Senators to
six hits and scored his fourth VIC
tory. For the third straight day
the two former Senators, Taft
Wright and Joe Kuhel, led the
White Sox to victory. They figured
in four of the five Chicago runs.
Aided by six st. Louis errors the
Yankees staggered te a 1919 vic
tory over the Browns and reached
the 800 mark again. Bill Dickey
homered with two on in the eighth.
Rookie Earl Johnson's four hitter
paced the Red Sox to a Az win
over the Tigers, swapping Boston's
five-game losing streak. He BANKED
Detroit until the ninth when Rudy
York homered with one on. Skeeter
Newsome's single drove in two Red
SoX runs.
