Superphosphate Available
To Farmers

Commodity Credit Corporation
has ordered set-aside of super
phosphate for farmers use. This
is in addition to the amount that
can be secured through regular
channels, and farmers should try
to get their needs through these
channels first. Applications are
to be made by farmers to their
regular dealer. The dealer will
then submit applications to the
Triple "a committee for certifi-
cation. The AAA committee will
in turn arrange for car lot ship
ments. Growers will have to take
delivery from cars. -
Anyone desiring to apply for ex-
ira phosphate should do so at once.

Baseball Quiz Enjoyed By
Service Men at USO Club

A baseball quiz program which
was held at the USO Club last night,
proved to be one of the iveliest
affairs of its kind ever held at the
Fry center.
Soda pop, hot dogs, peanuts and
all the usual accessories of an after
noon at the ball park were avail
able, and even those who could not
answer the questions had a good
time.
The questions were prepared by
Mr.. w. P. Atkins and DR.. Hugh NJ
Gloster of the USO staff. Mr.. Ad-
kins, who is currently assisting in
the coaching of the Post baseball
team, discovered that many of his
players can play the game much
better than they can answer ques-
tions dealing with stellar perform
ers and historic events in the
American national pastime.

Sou Hopes High
For Good Season
AS Opener Looms

The Sou baseball team Of
1914 has such a potentiality of
fine players in its midst that on
the eve Of its season curtain
raiser, 1t. James Chambers,
coach expressed reluctance
about naming the starting nine.
Almost certain to top the
mound, however, is Pfc. Wal
ter Mccoy, who pitched last
years team to victory in Is out of
90 games (two of which were no.
hitters). He has been working hard
at getting into condition and bids
fair to repeat, if not better, his per-
Torrance of last year.
Big Four Return
Four of last years regulars who
averaged around 400 in batting
percentages, will also stand a good
chance Of appearing in the lineup.
They are Pfc. Henry Culpepper,
Pfc. David Jackson, Pfc. Thomas
Turner and Sgt. Albert Young.
Other regulars who are back with
enthusiastic hopes for successful
season are: Sgt. Henry Moore, Sgt.
Fred Luke, Pvt. Robert L. Wright
and Pfc. Preacher" Hinton.
Pitching Prospects Bright
Six new pitchers show plenty of
"stuff" in early drills. The depart
ment was one of the weakest last
year, with only Mccoy functioning
in a winning way The new hurlers
are: Pvt. William Scales, formerly
with the San Antonio Giants; Pfc.
Frank Jones, Of the Kansas City
Monarchs; Pfc. John Hawkins, Pvt.
James Fields and Pvt. John Wooden.
Catchers are also plentiful, to
back up proven timber such as
Leonard, Nix, Harper, Langhorn and
Hawkins. The new additions are
Pvt. Nate Johnson, Pvt. Conway
Greene, Pvt. Henry Richardson and
Pvt. Otis Powell.
Pvts Johnnie Mac Brown, Will
