WESTERN TEAMS COME TO BROOKLYN

NEW YORK, June Is CUP) =
Perched comfortable in the drivers
seat with a snug 5la game lead,
Brooklyn's Dodgers opened a 13-
game home stand today and if they
duplicate their success against the
first western onslaught, the Ma

down hill ride for the fast-moving
Flatbushers.
The Dodgers won eight of 10
starts, losing only to Cincinnati

teams came east for the first time

Whit Wyatt made his first ap-

Reason for this profound and ex-

fact that once again the Post Press
team found itself close to playing
a B league softball game in city
stadium but couldn't quite make it.
1t seems that for three weeks
now the newspaper boys have been
trying to worm their way into the
large park for a game but have al
ways ended up playing in the small
park Or in Imperial.
Now the boys on the team really
dent figure that playing on the

NEW YORK, June Is CUP) -
The date en- the calendar reads
June Is. but to seven major league
baseball clubs it might as well
read Oct. l. For what we refer to
as the American League pennant
race - pause here for laughs - al
ready has been decided.
Barring a sudden epidemic of
black plague or a revival Of black
magic. the New York Yankees can't
lose.
The remainder of the schedule
will be played out, of course, but
for purposes purely commercial.
The competition. if ever there was
any, has vanished The Yanks are
SO far in front that their BoSWellS
have nothing to do except TO chalk
up the new records and attempt to
find different ways OF saying eX-
actly the same thing each day

II is traditional that pennants
aren't conceded while any team
has the remotest mathematical
chance Yet, there isn't an expert
at large who believes the boys |

man they call the Wizard Of Odds,
Jack Doyle, now quotes them at

name your price and he's on
If it is possible that you haven't
noticed, the Yanks are surprising
the only feats left for 'em to top.
Meaning their own, Of course. The
1912 New York club may or may
not be the superior of that which
Joe Mccarthy built in 1892 or that
which the late Miller Higgins fash
ioned in 1927, but it could be.
Certainly it appears superior TO
the 194l squad. Last year, you may
remember, the Yankees won the
pennant at the earliest date in
modern history-Sept a. Yet, on

Another of Saturdays results that
will lend an exciting overtone to

great Indiana distance runner,
Charley Hornbcstel, in winning

The boys almost made it one
night only to lose by the flip of a
coin. That was the memorable
night (Which most want to forget)
when four teams showed up at the
field, all raring to jump into bat
tie. Due to miXup in Sched-
ule the teams that were supposed
to play on one might were there the
next and the other two happened
to show up too.
Finally the managers got around
to the scientific method of settling
things known as tossing for it,"
Needless to say the backshop boys
and the front office staff hiked
themselves off to the little field
determined to get into the large
stadium next week if it's the last
thing We do"
And now it appears that they're
out again. Everything was nice and
rosy with a game scheduled for
Thursday with the Telephone ccm-
pany in that place of places, the
large stadium. Only it seems that
someone forget to consult the
phoners about playing that night
for they have first aid classes on
Thursday and Can't play anywhere.
The other teams are scheduled to
use the park on other nights SO it's
eff to the little field again on Fri
day night.
A newspaper sports department
in Cleveland has finally realized
that the Cleveland Indians can't
approach the New York Yankees
no matter how hard they try. So
they've settled it for the books in
a different Way-they'Ve put the
Yanks in a league all by themselves
with the rest of the American
leagues clubs in another loop. Now
there are three leagues: the Yankee
league, with the bombers all by
themselves, the American and the
National.

North Benton Soil
Conservation District
Referendum on Saturday

Farmers of North Benton and
Eastern Franklin counties, who own
land within the proposed North
Benton Soil Conservation District
are expected to turn out in large
numbers Saturday afternoon to vote
on the proposition of organizing the
North Benton Soil Conservation is
trict. Polling places at White Bluffs
grange hall and Hanford grange
hall will be open from 200 to 500
pm.
f.. N. Hensley, chairman of the
farmer committee sponsoring the
district, is very anxious that every
eligible voter, which includes all
persons holding equitable title to
land, go to the polls and cast their
ballot on this question. Mr.. Hensley
and his committee feel that the
Hanford and White Bluffs commun-
tiles can greatly benefit from hav-
ing Soil Conservation District and
he does not want to give the State
Soil Conservation Committee a
chance to disallow the district or
ganization due to only a small per-
centage of the eligible voters cast
ing their ballots. A great deal of in
terest has been shown by the farm
ers of North Benton District and ac-
cording to interest shown large
percentage of the farmers of the
district will take their wives and go
to the polls and vote Saturday.
The polling officers who will con-
duct the referendum on Saturday
are as follows: AT Hanford grange
hall, Mrs L. l.. Whitwer, Mrs. w. s.
Weber, Jr. and John Salvini, with
Fred Vertner as alternate. At White
Bluffs, r. r. Woods, Ed Ponsat and
