Races tight in
both leagues

At the end of last weeks base
bali activity both the American
and National League races We're
still as tight as Dicks hat band"
In the American League, Con-
ME Mack's AS closed a success
full road trip by sweeping four
game series from the lowly White
Sox to move within eleven per-
centage points of the Cleveland
Indians who were beginning TO
show signs Of faltering, having
lost ten out of their last fifteen
games.
Meanwhile, Bucky Harris pow
erful Yankees, aided by the
power hitting of Johnny Linden
and Joe DiMaggio-and the find
ing of a starting pitcher to re-
place Frank Shea in the person
of Tommy Byrne-took three out
of four at Cleveland and two out
of three at Detroit to move
within one game OF the lead.
THE THREE leaders were all
beginning to worry about the Joe
Mccarthy Bo Sox, who were fl
nally beginning to find that COM
bination of hitting and pitching
that spell trouble. The 30 Sox,
led by Ted Williams hitting All,
were five and a half games off
the pace and coming UP fast on
the outside.
In the National League the
Braves and Cardinals were still
participating in their dog fight
for first place. Helped by three
well-pitched games by Alpha
Brazle, Harry Brecheen, and
Howie Pollet plus the timely hit
ting of Stanley Musial the Cardi-
nails swept a three-game series
in Boston to pull within half
game of Billy Southworth's fight
ing Braves.
Ralph Kiner had kept the
Pirates in third place two and
a half games out. Due to spotty
pitching, Mel OTIS Giants had
slipped to. fourth, but hoped the
return of Welker Cooper would
boost them back into contention.
Our own Chicago Cubs won six
and dropped seven on the road
and seem to be getting nowhere
fast in their attempt to move up
out of the cellar.

Cool Summer: Park Glaciers Still Shrink

Record winter snowfalls and
cool summers like the present one
evidently aren't going to save
Glacier national parks glaciers.
Measurements of the park 5
two largest glaciers, Sperry and
Grinnell, completed this week show
both are still shrinking.
Second largest, Grinell covering
about $50 acres was measured
by DR.. James L. Dyson assisted
by Naturalists Gerald M. Ba-
den and Daniel Brandt. He
found the front of the near-mile
across ice body was back about
25 feet from last September, and
the surface of the ice mass down
nearly five feet.
Sperry the parks largest gla-
cier and the size of II city blocks,
was mapped Tuesday by Park Ma
turalist Don Robinson and Natur-
alist James Luce. Grinnell is ap-
parently holding its own more
than Sperry. The just west of the
continental divide ice mass reced-
ed as much as As feet.
In 1900 Sperry covered $40 ac-
res and was up to 500 feet deep.
Today it covers just over 800 ac-
res and is 200 to 300 feet deep.
Even the record snowfall of
1946-47 with 143 inches at Bel
ton on the parks western edge
didn't appear to help. However
there is less melting of the ice
mass during cloudy summer days.
The parks approximately so
glaciers are believed to be 1000
years old. There was a warm per-
iod between their start and the
so-called ice age. Unless there
is decided weather change
(snowy winters and really cool,
cloudy summers), Glacier nation
al park won't have any glaciers
even before the year 1000.

Park Bears Prefer
HuckIeberrles to
Visitor Handouts

Bear bites in Glacier national
park this year are unusually few.
Just two reports of vacationers
being bitten or scratched have
been received.
Reason is believed to be the
record huckleberry crop in the
park. These blue berries are the
cake of all bear food.
Virtually all visitors to Glacier
this year have seen bears along
Going -the-Sun highway, but
the animals have gotten fat with
out worrying too much about
handouts. There's been buckle
berries in the nearby forests.

Now IS Time TO
Kill Quack Grass

Hot weather means it's time for
farmers to start killing quack
grass by cultivation methods, +.
Webster, Benton county extension
agent, advises.
Under the hot sun unturned
roots die quickly but the operation
must be repeated every two weeks
or whenever any appreciable
growth develops, throughout the
period Of hot, dry weather, accord
ing to E. j. Kreizingef, State Elk
tension agent. Most important Is
to keep. the roots exposed to the
sun-for several days. If it is rainy
or cloudy the cultivation will not
do much good and will have to be
repeated oftener.
Kreizinger recommends cult
walton be started with a fairly
shallow blowing, about four inches
deep, to turn up as many roots as
possible, for Quack grass is a ra-
Their shallow rooted plant. As
soon as the ground has been plow-
ed the roots should be worked up
with a spring tooth harrow or cul-
tivator in order to bring as many
roots and underground root stocks
to the surface as possible. Each
cultivation should include two OPP
erations, one at right angles to the
other.
When necessary to use the
ground as quickly as possible or
where the stand is particularly
heavy it may still be possible to
get rid of the quack or materially
reduce by cultivating, as much as
four times-twice in each direc-
tion-with the spring tooth har-
row or cultivator and then laying
the roots in a windrow by using a
heavy side-delivey rake.
