St. Louis Slaughter May Get ''Break
 From Draft Board

New York, May 21.-(UP)- Though Enos Country Slaughter, St. Louis Cardinals right fielder and leading hitter, has been order ed by his Roxboro, N. O., draft board to report for 8 perturbation examination at St. Louis Saturday, there appeared good grounds today for believing that he won't be call- ed up immediately.
 When Slaughter last appeared before his draft board 1t was un- derstood that he was advised he might not be called before Decem- Der. Even if Slaughter's number comes up during the season, he may get one or two 30-day deferments in line with the ruling that len- iency be extended to selectees in cases where immediate induction would work real hardship.
 Going Good
 Slaughter, who is currently bat ting .321 and tied with Nanny Fer- nandez of the Braves for third place among National league batsmen, re- fuses to discuss his case. He is 26 and married but separated from his wife.
 Slaughter left the Cards for three days late in April to confer with his Roxboro, N. C., draft board about his status but no change was made in his IA rating.

of the plucky Boiler Kid, suggests that the anguish of being in a trap might be relieved if the player knew that he was thereby promoting the welfare of men in the armed forces.
 Fred Snite, president of the Elm hurst, H., Country Club, urges each course to designate one trap as its USO Trap.
 Every time player hit a ball into this trap, he would donate 25 cents. A woman would contribute 10 cents.
 The plan can, of course, be varied to suit local preferences. A course might have USO green. Anybody In any trap guarding that green would make penalty donation. A reduced penalty might be made for second and third strokes. Public courses might establish a custom of 10 cents per trap shot.

 New York, May 21.-Harry Nash of Newark tells how golfers can con- tribute from $iO,0O0. 900 to $l5,000,. 900 to the war effort without giv- ing away dime.
 All they have to do is purchase 8 25-cent War Stamp before teeing off on each round.
 There were 6S, ,4N6, 900 rounds play ed last year.
 Tt certainly isn't too much to ask of the private club member, 1" stresses Nash. "If he can afford to play a round of golf, he can af- ford to save 25 cents."
 There were 34,O06,O0O rounds played at private clubs in 1o4l. On daily fee and municipal courses, there were 26,O50,00O. There is an- other group which could add pos- sible $3S7, 800 O-caddies and club. house employees whose rounds added up to 1,350,000.
 Not every one who uses public courses may be able to save 25 cents each time he plays, but the assslmp- ton is he is better able this sea- son than he was last.
 Stamps would enjoy q further sale if caddies took their tips in them. Where a boy depends upon his fee and tips for carfare and meal money, a golfer wouldn't want to give him stamps, but the boy and Ehe player would be the best judges.

 Pitch is not yet 8 science with Head.
 With him, it's all physical ability. He simply rears back and pumps that thing through there. That puts the problem up to the hitter, as Dizzy Dean once remarked.

Mound Masterpiece By ard Luck HurIer Defeats Dodgers
Speed Makes
Blind Bargain Proves Find
 For MacPhail
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

New York, May 21-It was at the minor league meeting in New Or- leans in December 1888, that I. M. Goldberg told Leland Stanford MacPhail that Earl Mann of At lanta had offered his Abbeyyille. Lap club of the Evangeline League S4.0O0 for young pitcher named Edward Head.
 Branch Rickey of the Cardinals bid $3,000 for the ridgh- handed Ed Head, he whispered.
 Well" said Larry MacPhail, "if he's worth 5000 in St. Louis and $4,OO0 in Atlanta, he's worth $5,OO0 in Brooklyn"
 President MacPhail had never heard of Head, no Flatbush scout had sen him, but when 1t came time to close the deal, Owner. Goldberg insisted that the Dodgers also take catcher for $1,500.
 The backstop was given away. Loud Speaker MacPhail never saw him, so he figures he paid $6,500 for Head, and now he knows he struck bargain.
 For Head appears to be the dif- ference in pitching between what Brooklyn had last year and what the Buns have now, and they won the pennant last trip.
 FATAL ACCIDENT MAKES / HEAD A RIGHT-HANDER
 Head was the workhorse of the staff as the Buns suig into their home stand. He had started four engagements and had ben rushed to the rescue in three others for Q total of 40 1-3 innings. He had struck out 2l, yielded 39 hits and walked 13. Only three had gone the rout in the last Ii and he was the chucker in two of them. He had four victories against no reverses and had twice scored over the des- pissed Giants.
 Head, a fireballer, gives the older Whitlow Wyatt and Curtis Davis that needed extra days rest.
 Only 22, this recruit easily could become the Buns head man with little more skill.
 An unusual thing about Head is that he was left-handed until ne was IS. A side-swiping bus acci-. dent at Mer Rouge, La, which

Egg production in 1914 farm dem

The average price this past Novem-
Der will be 9 or 3 three cents higher
than in 1941 November price, ac-
cording to F. z. Beanblossom, Ex-

Feed costs for producing a dozen
eggs ranged from 10 to 10 cents IN
the 10 high flocks; and in the 10 low
flocks, from AZ cents to i dollar n
So cents. "A survey summa Led re-

from each hen were higher for the

flocks of 100 birds or more, interest
