Gardeners who plant pumpkin
seeds should have fast-growing vines
before long. They also should learn
that little pumpkin seed will 20
a long way.
The pumpkin is a member Of the
gourd family and is related to the
squash. Large yellow flowers appear
on the vine, along with good sized
leaves.
After the yellow flowers wither
away their place is taken by rounded
fruits" which grow larger with the
passing OF days and weeks. Many
vines produce pumpkins which
weigh only few pounds, say or 10,
but other vines give us pumpkins
OF really large size, sometimes weigh
ing so pounds or more.
A giant form of pumpkin has been
popular In France. 1t is reported
to reach weight of 80 or 100 pounds
and may be 3 or 4 feet wide.
Another fruit t-bearing vine is the
watermelon. This important melon
is native of Africa. 1t was raised
in Egypt in ancient times and is
shown on Egyptian paintings which
date back about 5000 years.
The planting of watermelons has
spread to many parts of the world.
Large crops are grown in India,
China and Southern Russia.
In North America we find tho
watermelon growing from Southern

Canada down to Mexico. It's "home-
land" on this continent, however, Is
in the southern half of the United
States. Georgia, Florida, Texas,
South Carolina and California are
leading watermelon States"
A good watermelon usually weighs
from 20 to SO pounds. If men on a
lifeboat had a few dozen such
melons aboard they should not be-
come thirsty for quite some time.
My father once told me that, to
prove point, he drank no water for
six weeks and in that period OBJ
tanned all the water he needed from
watermelons.
A different melon, also widely
grown, is the muskmelon. 1t grows
wild in some parts of Southern Asia.
There are several kinds of musk
melons. One kind is the "canta-
loupe," which was named after Cam
talupa Castle in Italy. 1t appears
that the first cantaloupes in Europe
were raised on the grounds of that
castle. the seeds having been
brought there from Armenia.

North and South were using
control-showing response to two
bids. Hence the three-club bid
showed the club ace and the four
club bid showed the club king.
When South then showed his void
in diamonds and North expressed
a preference for spades, East real
lied the opponents were slated for
big things. And East could do
nothing about saving since both the
opponents suits were higher rank
ing. If North South could make a
grand slam at spades they had only
to bid it.
Unless-and here was East's in
spiration-unless he could some
how steer them out of spades and
turn his spade void into the set
ting trick. Obviously it would do
no good to show his partner, and
incidentally the opponents, that
he had no spades. Cue bidding a
suit which the opponents could Sc
lect as their trump suit would SIM
ply make sure that they played it
there. 1t was this very disadvan-
tage which inspired East's swim
die. Instead of cue-bidding the
suit In which he was void, he cue
bid the suit in which he wasn't.
South fell into the trap. If East
was void of hearts, as he had an
nounced, there was great danger in
playing the hand at spades. But
South's own heart suit was strong
enough to require no assistance and
he therefore bid seven hearts in
order to nullify East's presumed
heart void. The ticklish part of the
situation was that East had to dou-
BILE to ask his partner not to lead
diamond. A more astute South
might have suspected the swindle
and escaped, less astute West
might have failed to lead a spade.
Fortunately for the success of East's
coup. neither of these eventualities
occurred. South stayed in hearts
and West led a spade, East's ruff
providing the one trick the de-
tenders took.

Ed Sheldon, pitcher for the
Optimist Club in the Junior
League, has hurled two no-hit
so far this season. Last night he
came as close as he will ever
come TO tossing another one. In
game against ST. Louis at
Griffith Field, he had two out
In-the -eNepth, when Miller sin
gled, spelling his masterpiece.
OptimistS won the game 100.
The outcome of the contest
was never in doubt as Optimists
started off with bang in the
first inning, scoring four times
They added two more in the
third one each in the fourth
and fifth, and a pair in the sew
enth. Clyde Vandecar helped
himself TO a home run in the
big first frame, and Sheldon
also had a four Dagger, getting
his in the fifth.
Cullimore gave up only five
hits TO the Optimists, but errors
and walks prevented ST. Louis
from making it a closer game.
No optimist player had more
than one hit TO his credit.

Thomas
Pitches
One Hitter

Harry Thomas, HillcreSt Stu
do pitcher, is slated for Army
service in a couple of weeks
and nothing would be nicer TO
him than leaving the local soft
ball wars with a no-hit game to
his credit.
He nearly had his wish on
Tuesday night when his club
played Spruce Inn at ST. Mary's
Stadium. Two men were out in
the seventh, when Elmer Ra-
chow put the wood TO one of
Harry's twisters and sent i;
screaming To left field. Pat
Parker made a valiant effort to
catch up To the liner, but could
mt quite make II and the ball
fell for a double.
Hillcrest didn't do any heavy
hitting either, and could only
manufacture one run. II was
enough, however, Spruce Inn
being held Scoreless. The pho
tographerS counted the marker
IN the first inning Jack Tom
tishen walked stole second,
moved over TO third as Al Lo-
gle was being retired and scored
when an error was made on Don
nlein's grounder.
The victory lifted HillcreSt to
within game OF third place Bar
50 and increased their chances
for a playoff berth.
White Thomas was having his
no-hit effort spoiled, Gordon
Belleau Of ST Clair Shores
turned IN his best performance
Of the season and set Eschen-
burg Tires down without a safe
hit being made The Shores
walked away with an easy l6-l
win.
Except for an error and two
walks, Belleau would have had
perfect game to his credit
One Of the passes, coming in the
fourth inning, resulted IN the
only Eschenburg score.
The Shorians, in winning
their 18th straight game found
Youngs offerings to their lik-
ing and-fattcncd their averages,

another in the third, three in
the fifth and another on the
sixth.

with Nubs Simms having the
best average against the hurlerS.
He collected two singles and a

The Super Extraordinarily
