De Chard Must DefeaI

To Establish Self
B. C..luds sdt Crossfpnds
In 8-Rounder Tonight;
keuner Faces CuriIIi

Jimmy De Chard, youthful District
heavyweight. is ready for the sink
or-swim fight of his budding career
tonight at Riverside Stadium, where
he faces Joe Baksi of Wilkes-Barre,
Pa. in an eight-round co-feature
that has all the earmarks of bang
up quarrel.
The local boy is at the crossroads
Of his ring future and the odds ap-
pear to be stacked heavily against
him, for a mere decision will not be
enough to appease the fans thirst
for action nor to quiet his critics
charges that he hasn't the makings
of a truly good heavyweight. He's
got to win impressively. He's got to
trade punches with a chap who ad-
mittedly can take it without giving
ground, and he's got to take a few
broadsides himself to prove his own
durability.
In the face of these odds, Jimmy
apparently has little chance of win
ming Too much is expected of him
He'd have to have Joe Louis punch
and Dempsey's cost-iron physique
to satisfy the customers. It's quite
an order and he's primed for his
best and hardest fight, and if he
makes it you can rest assured the
kid has everything first-rate heavy
needs, including a fighting heart.
1t is a club-flght program Pro-
moter Joe Turner is offering for his
second show at Riverside, but one
that promises to generate enough
action in the prelims to keep the
patrons happy. Jabbo Kenner, who
is stalking De Chard for some curl
Gus reason, will try to atone for his
knockout by Al Blake in a SCRAP

brassy sound of his language, but
with true, legal forthrightness put
his cards on the table.
Il mean" he explained, I'm not
going into any tournaments unless
I figure to win and that, in turn,
depends on my physical condition.
If I'm in form think can take
the rest of the boys, but I'm not kid
ding myself about condition and
I'm not going to play unless I'm
ready. So, whenever you see my
name in the draw you can put me
down as the winner, because I'm
going to be there at the finish"
Appears to Be Ready.
Welsh. a frank ball-banger who
has called his shots more than once
before, has been playing a lot of
tennis at Edgemoor and seems to
be on top OF his game. He was wor-
RED about his legs, but, thus far,
the ,inderpinning has held up like
the cost of living, getting him places
like jazzed-up jeep. And if the
games don't blow We can expect j.
Bernard to continue at the head Of
the class because he's hitting all his
shots with all the old power.
Welsh's uncertainty about his
court activities quite naturally stems
fro mthe war situation. He's in class
ga at tsis time and a prospective
junior Davis Cupper is expected in
the family this summer but Barney
confidently expects to be called to
the colors in the not-too- distant
future.
But I would like to get in one
tournament before hanging up my
racket this year because heaven
only knows when III have another
chance"

Nation. Isaacs is the reigning Mid
die Atlantic P. G. A. champion.
From the finish of the morning
round it was plain that. barring a
complete blowup, Ball and Coffey
were in. They maintained their
steady pace in the afternoon, and
both might have been several strokes
lower had the puts dropped. But
they blasted all pretournament pre-
dictions to bits as they took the
Burning Tree course apart for their
subpar scores.
Coffey twice eagled the par-5
ninth hole, each time planting a
spoon second feet from the pin
and holing the putt. Altogether he
collected seven brides and two
eagles. Ball, playing his shots to
the green better than any one IN
the field, had his usual putting
lapses, but managed to bag eight
birds and an eagle.
If Erie ever gets into confident
streak on the green's he will rank
as one of Americas top profess
sionals. He bangs that ball mile
and his crispness with the irons is
unmatched by any Of the stars OF
the game today.
Worsham Holes Big Puts.
Lew Worsham, apparently out OF
the running and playing sans a
shirt, holed a couple of great puts
on the last two holes to tie at 143, a
3O-footer rumbling into the cup for
a birdie on the 35th green, and a
12-footer rolling in for the needed
4 on the final green. Then he
started the playoff by missing a
brace of 3-footers.
Ball expects soon to be in the
Air Corps. His goal is the Ferry
Command. His parents have sur
vived in much bombed Liverpool
but Erie wants a crack at the Nazis
from the air. Thirty years of age,
he is taking flying lessons and hopes
soon to obtain pilots license. Final

That boy" said Ship, "is without
doubt the finest college defensive
outielder I've ever coached. He
robs more players of extra base
hits than you can count on both
hands in most games and if he
only had little more punch at
the plate I'd call him first rate big
league material. He covers more
ground than anybody I've ever seen
and he's got an arm like that new
Army rife. Just watch him and
you'll see what I mean"
Boothe, an alumnus of Roosevelt
High School, apparently is all Ship
ley claimed, for the coach still was
talking when Techs Forster slapped
what appeared to be certain triple,
at least, between left and right
field. Evans, the other fielder
couldn't even get close to it, but
Danl sized up the situation in the
well-known flash, went deeply to
his right for running backhand
catch on the first bounce and whip
ped throw to second that would
have tagged down Ty Cobb. The
runner judiciously scrambled back
to first.
Nor has Booths stickwork been
too light this season. A hasty check

High Schools Asked
To Teach Aviation

Montana high schools have been
asked by Miss Elizabeth Ireland, state
superintendent of public instruction, to
introduce a course in the science of
aeronautics into their curricula next
fall.
The course. as outlined by Miss Ire
land, would be standard laboratory
science course with the same standing
in the curriculum as physics and
chemistry, would carry the same credit
and would be open to junior and senior
boys and girls. Textbooks are now be-
ing prepared and will be ready by Sep
TENDER
The course is part of a nationwide
program to educate Americans to use
of the airplane in both peace and war
to create a reserve of potential civil
and military pilots, Miss Ireland said.
Included in the course will be instruc-
ton in design and structure, communi-
cations, meteorology, aerodynamics
aircraft engines, air navigation, safety
and regulations and specialization.

WIN THE WEST
RAILROAD RATE
SYSTEM MAY GO
FLAWS SEEN IN GOVERNMENT
PROGRAM OF 1850 DESIGNED
TO BUILD WILDERNESS

The house interstate commerce COM
mittee is trying to revise a bill releas-
ing railroads from obligations to the
government under the 1850 deal by
which they got land as large as the
Dakotas and Nebraska for the winning
OF the west.
Chairman Lea, democrat. California.
said the committee hoped to persuade
the house to reconsider its recent ac-
ton in rejecting legislation that would
permit railroads to charge full pre-
vailing rates for hauling government
traffic.
The government initiated in 1850 the
policy of huge land grants to railroad
companies to encourage the nations
move into the western wilderness.
Some l30,00o,000 acres, valued orig
, inal!y at an average of 81 cents an
acre, were given to the carriers, and
approximately 81, 500 miles of track
were built.
For its end of the bargain, the gov
eminent exacted agreements from the
railroads to haul federal traffic at re-
duced rates.
The committee says it is unfair and
economically unSound to require a
relatively few railroads to carry federal
| tidlIIC dt lONtT TdleS IMAM lElelT CON-
petitors are allowed to charge, espe-
cially now that much of the freight
being carried is government war goods
shipped to the west and northwest.
| Committee members contend that
the carriers long since have discharged
their debt to the government and no
longer should be required to continue
| the lower rates.
Not only that, said Lea, but the sit
uation has forced competing lines
which received no land grants to OPP
crate at similarly reduced rates to meet
competition from the so-called land
grant" carriers.
Opponents say the Immigrant lines
stand to benefit by as much as sl25,-
100000 annually in revenue from fed
eral traffic if the old rates are aban-
doned while the war program is at its
height. This, they contend, would add
substantially to the cost Of the war
to the taxpayers and would amount to
an unearned gratuity for the railroads.

Nelson Recommends
Ban On 30 Percent
Nine Priority Plan

Wilour A. Nelson, CHER OF WIPES
mining branch, told the senate special
silver committee that he and other
WPB officials were recommending to
the board that the controversial 80
percent clause in war production
board mining priorities order P-56)
be removed
Such a step, he explained, would
not alter administration of the order.
under which priorities on mining
equipment have been restricted to
mines producing more than 30 percent
of their dollar output value in gold
and silver
Nelson previously described the 30
percent limit as a reference point"
for determination Of the extent OF the
gold and silver in relation to so-called
critical minerals, and could easily have
been set as well at 40 or so percent.
In fact, he said, he proposed the latter
figure.
Whatever the priorities limit, Nelson
asserted, each request by a predomi-
nantly gold and silver mine for prior
tiles must be judged on its own merits,
through the WpB in Washington.

percent loss of the lamb crop in some
areas due TO a shortage Of skilled help
But the losses, according to reports,
have been spotted and will not ma
terially affect the total lamb crop.
In nearly rs years of raising sheep
the woolmen. through experiments of
their own and those at Montana State
college and at the various federal-state
experiment stations, have learned
many helpful and profitable lesson.
Although wool growing is an art in
itself the woolgrowers have branched
out into other lines of farming which
parallel the sheep business. Many are
engaged also in the growing and rails
ing OF sugar beetS. grain, hay, vege-
tables, fruit, pigs, chickens and COWS.
By-productS OF sugar beetS, for in
stance, are beet pulp and beet tops,
both of which make excellent feed for
sheep, lambs, dairy COWS and other
livestock
A by-product of peas. the pea vine,
is ideal feed for almost all kinds OF
livestock.
If the price for grain or hay is
low it is profitable for the farmer to
market it in the form of lamb chops,
pork chops or beef.
The Montana farmer has learned a
valuable lesson not only by way of
diversifying his product but in the
matter of conserving his range and all
his stock food
The winter just come to a close is
a perfect example. 1t was long and
severe in some sections, but the live
stock of the state did not suffer, al
though in many cases the stored feed
was almost exhausted by the time
the spring range opened up.
But the spring range emerged from
underneath record depths of snow in
excellent shape, in better condition, in
fact, than it had been in many years.
The woolgrower has excellent range,
the prospect of his meadows producing
record hay crop and he additionally
will get attractive prices for his prod
ucts.
He is contributing greatly toward the
winning of the war, for there is a
shortage of wool. Australia formerly
supplied almost half the wool used In
the United States. And the nations
fighters and workers need more food
and more clothing to protect their
health.
