Triplett SOftball Team Defeats
Findlay Anr Cairo; Has IA Wins

Triplett softball team added two
more decisions to their impressive
string of victories during the past
week by defeating Findlay First
Lutheran, s to 2, in a contest here
last Friday night and winning over
Cairo, 8 to 0, in a tilt played there
Monday.
So far, the local outfit has won
Ii of ID games against some of the
best team in this area. In addi-
ton, the crew played an exhibition
match with the Bluffton Lions club,
the winning of which is not counted
in the records.
The game with Cairo at that place
Monday night was an air-tight
hurler's battle, with Spaeth of
Bluffton giving up only one hit, and
Kilgore, Cairo moundsman, allowing
only three.
Buttons winning margin came
early in the contest however, with
the locals tallying two runs in the
second inning, and another in the
third.
Fred Swank led off with single
in the second, stole second base, then
scored on Eikenbary's single. Eiken-
barry was scored a moment later on
LuginbuhPs sacrifice.
In the third inning, Russ Gratz
singled and tailed when Berky was
thrown out at first for the second
putout.
First Lutheran, Findlay's league
champion, was unable to keep pace
with Bluffton in the Triplett crews
to 2 victory here last Friday.
One run was made by Bluffton in
the first inning when Gratz singled
and scored on Anderson's single. In
the third frame, Fred Swanll
reached base on an error, Eikenbary
singled and Bert Swank scored both
ahead of him when he cracked a
home run into deep center field.
Three more runs came in the fifth
when Berky was safe on an error,
and Fred Swank and Eikenbary
singled. The eighth run came in the
sixth when Don Ream smacked a
home run, the second of the game
for the Triplett team.

the season opener which is now less
than three weeks away.
Only six men with experience have
returned this fall to form a nu-
cleus for squad of 81, one of the
largest in recent years. Those with
previous experience in the backfield
are Hubert Basinger and Ronald
Zimmerly; and linemen are Charles
Tripplehorn, Dean Niswander, Otto
Klassen and Charles Swank.
Coach Burcky has several promis-
ing new candidates, however, and in
tensive workouts during the next
two weeks will give him an oppor-
tunity to size up the squad members
and pretty we'll determine what kind
of prospects to expect for the season.

Pheasant Damage Rebuttal

The Ohio Wildlife Research Sta
ton on the o. S. U. campus, has re-
ported to Conservation Commissioner
Don Waters results of a survey of
pheasant conditions in Ohio. The re-
port says:
In the heavy populated counties of
the Pheasant Belt 709o to 95e6 of the
farmer-land owners participate in the
game bird harvest--a vauable recre-
ational outlet-one which builds a
farmers interest in his land and what
it does for him-and attracts and
holds youthful manpower on the land.
In considerable area the kill of cock
birds exceeds 100 birds per square
mile or 20 per farm.
Pheasant eat considerable grain
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1944-08-31

From 10qe to soc of the food of
Ohio pheasants is made up of weed
seeds, mostly ragweed, foxtail and
smartweed. The removal of these
seeds is a contribution to clean agri-
culture. Young pheasants live almost
entirely on insects and large portion
of the food of adults during the grow
ing season is of grasshoppers, beetles,
crickets, weevils and other destructive
insects.

Quantity
Of Lumber
Needed. in "A

HELENA, March 21.-More than
II billion feet of lumber, equal to
half Of Americas entire production
in 1943, will be used this year mere
ly for packaging and Grating war
supplies, equipment and munitions,
]. Phillip Boyd, WPB Director of
the Lumber and Lumber Products
Branch in Washington, told $500
members of the Northwestern Lum-
bermen's Association at its 1914
Convention and War Conference in
Minneapolis this week.
That is four times as much lum-
Der as used for Grating and boxing
in peacetime and is the principal
reason WPB now considers lumber
No. critical raw material said
Boyd.
AS to problems and opportuni-
ties after the war, l am convinced
the lumber industry will enjoy de-
mand for wood products that will
be nothing short Of tremendous.
Nothing must stand in the way
of military requirements, but we al
so must provide for upkeep of es-
ocH1dl Liabilities Oh WHICH military
depends for supplies. This may be
an industrial or farm plant. Every
time we send man overseas, it
takes 300 feet OF lumber to box
and crate the initial supplies for
that one man and so feet month
from there on to keep him supplied.
That takes no account Of all the
other vast armament Of war.
Il believe this demand will con-
tinue and probably increase right
up to the day one OF pur* wars is
won. While that is going on, the
lot of retailers is going to become
progressively tougher, not because
the Government wants it that way,
but because constant efforts as yet
have not succeeded in planning eff
fective relief"

SIGNAL coaps rHoTo-ows.

The Libby Ski club had very
interesting meeting at their Club

the poor members have had no op-
portunity to practice this thrilling
sport this whole season-the snow
wouldn't come to them and without
gas they couldn't 60 to it. But they
are optimistic and are looking for
ward to good season next year
and in the meantime are keeping
the club together and improving
their property.
