and indeed, fatal deIusion TO
imagine that the prime essen

government and farmer alike
give jealous attention TO the
non-farm lands which support
or destroy farm enterprise"
If this "indivisible unity Of

warns, cities and civilizations
will vanish as they have in
the past.
Not only are farm lands de-
stroyed and lost to food pro-

In terms of the educational

al farm societies."
The traditional terracing,

the methods of soil conserva-

are illustrated by the work of

Special governmental agen-

the report, if the various phas-

Among other important gov.

Louis and WaIcott Off
To Camp With June q
Title Scrap Sealed
BY the Associotsd Press

NEW YORK, April 15.-Formal-
tiles moved out and training moved
into the heavyweight title fight
picture today.
Champion Joe Louis was en- route
to Michigan to open camp. Jersey
Joe Walcott, the challenger. set up
shop at Grenloch Park, N. j., near
his Camden home.
They signed the final papers yes
terday for their return match in
Yankee Stadium June %. They
shook hands, then parted until the
final weighing in ceremonies some
two months hence.
Louis, who came out of Michigan
IA years ago to begin his climb to
the title, will work at farm near
Bloomingdale, about 160 miles from
Detroit.
Roadwork is the big item on his
program. He will move to Pompton
Lakes, N. j.. May 18, and start
sparring two days later.
Walcott, who thought he won the
title the first time he met Louis in
December. will begin sparring
May Is.
The champ said he expected to
shed 10 pounds and come into the
ring weighing about 214 or 215
Walcott guessed his present weight
at 200 and expects to weigh 1872 to
1874 for the fight.

How They'll Finish-Red Sox, Second
Power-Pocked Red Sox Tough,
But Hurting Looks Uncertain

Baseman Bobby Doerr OF the 1nneld
consistently will hammer or clear
that fence. And If Murrel (Jake)
Jones wins first base. he is another
right hand hitter who can beat a
tattoo on the near barrier.
OF the outfielders, Dom Di Mag
gio and Sam Mele have little trou-
BILE in ringing the tin fence and,
lest the Sox appear overbalanced
there are some sturdy left-hand bat
ters, headed by Ted Williams and
supported by Stan Spence, late OF
Washington, and Johnny Pesky, now
a third baseman.
But power Is the least OF McCar-
thy's worries. The grouchy old
codger's chief problem Is pitching.
It is being suspected of Dave Ferriss
and Tex Hughson, the two towering
right -handers, that they were big
winners in wartime only. Southaw
Mickey Harris had a sore arm last
wear and there's doubt whether he'll
win many games. Kinder and
Kramer both lost more decisions
than they won with the Browns and
Denny Galehouse, another former
Brownie, is getting old. OF the
other holdovers, only Joe Dobson
and Earl johnson, the reliefer, were
l947 winners for Boston.
Birdie Tebbetts will take good
care of the receiving, with prom
ising individual named Matt Bats
assisting, and, all in all, the Red
Sox should be tough to whip. But
the Yankees ran away from them
last year and they still look to have
the ability to win again.

Gionfriddo, Dodgers
World Series Hero,
Back in Minors
By ths Assoeioisd prssss

BROOKLYN, April 15.-A (The
Catch) Gionfriddo, pocket-sized out
fielder who was the hero Of Brooklyn
short time ago, is back in the
minor leagues.
The little f1yhawk was released
outright to the Montreal Royals OF
the International League by the
Brooklyn Dodgers yesterday in order
to make room for two rookie pitch
ers, Owain Sloat and John Hall.
Gionfriddo, who still plays the
leading role in New York Yankee
Outfielder Joe Di Maggio's night
mares, was the toast of Brooklyn
following the sixth game of the l947
World Series.
Trailing the favored Yanks, three
games to two, the Dodgers entered
the sixth inning of the sixth game
on the long end of an S-5 score.
In the last OF the sixth the Yanks
put two on and had two out as d.
Maggie came up. Di Maggie caught q
fast pitch and drove a towering
drive in the direction of the left
field pullpen. 1t seemed a certain
homer.
However, Gionfriddo raced over
and made leaping one-handed stab
of the ball just as it was about to
sail into the bullpen, AIS feet from
home plate. The catch broke the
Yankees back and the Dodgers went
on to win the game, 8-6, and tie
the series at three-all.

Dodgers after the start OF the season
