bases there in the same Yankee
stadium that his booming bat
helped to build back in 1928.
As Ruth ran the bases, the
ball that he hit SO hard swerved

the upper rightfield stands-a

On this particular blow. Ruth
didn't trot-as one usually does
in case of a home run. Instead,
he put his head down and start

that the muffin-faced, barrel

could achieve.
And the huge crowd-who had
contributed $4,000 to service
relief funds-didn't know and
didn't care If the final wallop
had gone fair or foul as it bel

IT In quite possible that he hopes
to hold IN Russia for the winter
and ease the strain on his war pro-
duction. Such q lull would give
him about six months TO replenish
his depleted reserves and build
again for another mighty offensive
next spring.
Rather than in Russia, Hitler's
main effort next year probably
would be In western Europe where
the Allies most probably would
open a second front. II they do not
do 30 before then.
This does not preclude winter
activity in Egypt and the Middle

Hitler had to make in Russia this
summer.

High Strawberry Prices
Paid al Princess Anne
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PRINCESS ANNE. Md, May o.
Strawberries selling through the
farmers cooperative auction block
here are bringing prices ranging
from 81 to $50 crate, which some
growers said made the block one of
the Eastern Shores highest markets.
Prices to farmers are expected to
60 higher next week when later,
sweeter varieties of berries such as
the Big Joe, Candy and Chesapeake,
come into market.
Nearly $4,000 crates were sold on
the block in the last eight days, with
growers trucking in berries from
Oak Han, Beaver Dam and New
Church in Virginia; Stockton, Snow
Hill and Pocomoke City in Worcester
County, and from sections of Somer-
set and Wicomico Counties
Meanwhile, the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics at College Park
reported that smaller harvests of
Strawberries and asparagus are an
ticipated in Maryland this year than
in 1941.
The strawberry acreage was esti-
mated at $500, compared with 1000
acres last year. with production at
$4,000 crates compared with 420,-
600 in 194l.
Acreage planted to asparagus in
creased from last years $500 to g.
TOO acres, but the yield was esti-
mated at $4,000 crates, 1000 under
last year. Watermelon acreage is
unchanged from last year.
