Evidently Chamber Secretary Ben
Herring'S wire to the Pittsburgh
Pirates did some good for since it
was sent the team has not lost a
game and has had four wins in a
row.
After the Bucs had lost ten
straight Ben figured something
should be done about il so he
tefegraphed Frank Frisch, the
Pirates manager, the where
abOuts of two crates Of Imper-
ial Valley carrots in the steel
. city.
Upon immediate consumption of
the vegetables the Free-booters can
do no wrong, as was witnessed by
the home run barrage they laid
down in the White Sox game in Ell
Centre after a few nibbles.
Bob Elliott, the Pirates third
baseman, being an ". boy, must
have been a little more conscien-
tious about eating his carrots than
the others on the National League
team for in Sundays doubleheader
against the Phils he played an i'm
portant role. Elliotts double drove
in the winning run in the opening
game and his single in the night
cap started a five-run rally that
put the BucS on top.
So, unfortunately, it looks like
Mr. Herring will be cheated out
of trip east. He was going to fly
back to give the team little pep
talk if nothing else would suffice.

Reports that Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard had attended a meeting to push
the senate bin which provides for the
below parity sale of government wheat
for feed caused a steady recession in
grain prices. The secretary hinted that
an early agreement might be reached
on the bill which the house farm bloc
has opposed.
Earlier news of growing opposition to
the below parity provision had stimulated
a sharp upturn in futures prices.
Rye and soybeans futures necountered
the greatest pressure. Both commission
house and local traders sold TO send
prices down. few stop loss orders
slowed the decline which carried prices
down to low marks for the season.
Soybean futures lost about = cents net
when reports of a possible compromise
on the senate bill provoked selling. Fail
ure OF the bill to pass would increase
the demand of corn, oats and bean meal
for feed with wheat no longer threaten
ing TO compete in the seed market.

When the Merced Bears bowed
out of the California Baseball
League early this spring, the par
ent Oakland club kept a tight
hold on Outfielder Waldon West

Westlake paid dividends Sunday
when his two home runs gave the

SHUT OUT CAN RUN
Little Sab was beaten by Shut
Out. You probably remember the
latter horse. He won the Kentucky
Derby a month ago and is pretty
fair piece of blue-blooded horse
flesh. Shut Out can run. He proved
it often enough before he ever
came up TO the Belmont. But he
lacks one thing. That is popular ap-
peal. The reason, the public just
doesn't cotton TO Shut Out.
Nor do the experts. So today in
stead of writing that the S7O0 AL
sab has tucked the crown away
III the family safe, they are pen
ming pieces declaring the title
won't be decided until the $4,000
DWyer stakes this month or, more
probably, the Arlington classic on
July 25.
In this they are completely cor
rect as it is possible for any ex-
pert to be. Shut Out has two firsts
and a fifth for his appearances in
the three races which comprise the
triple crown. Alsab has one first
and two seconds. Obviouslr, neither
has clear claim at this stage An
other rubber match must still be
