Three Straight Shuioufs Made Starters Finish
 Without Relief
By JACK HAND

What happened to the New York Giants pitching staff?
 Spiders spin cobwebs in the Polo Grounds bullpen. Starters finish without relief.
 The strange situations has ex- isted for almost week. Three straight shutouts by Larry Jensen, Clint Hartung and Dave Koslo have left the National League reeling.
 Seven complete games in eight pitching starts have lifted the club past the St. Louis Cardinals into third place.
 Koslo, particularly, has come into his own in recent days. Two straight no-run jobs, including yes- terday's 50 effort against Gin cinnati, stamp him as a most im- portant factor in the clubs pen nant hopes.
 Brooklyn clubbed the Cardinals, 9-6, permitting New York to take over third place. Neither club gain ed on front-running Boston which edged Pittsburgh 2-1. The Braves lead remains intact at 5h games.
 It was the 18th victory in 16 games for the Brooks since Burt Shotton returned as manager.
 Bill Boiselle, who Topped with the Giants after brilliant fresh man season, collected win No. Il for Boston
 The Phillies made it two out of three under Manager Eddie Sawyer, subduing Chicago, 7-4.
 Pitcher Jack Kramer and Rookie Bill Goodman got into the home run act for the first time this season as Boston swamped De- troit 8-1, in the only American League game.
 As result, the Red Sox opened up a half game lead over the idle Philadelphia As on the strength of Kramer's 10th straight pitching success.

Prewar Rents Still Prevail
In Town Initiation FORGOT

Adults must part with IS cents to
see the latest movies at the Tomball
theater. Children are admitted for
IL cents.
The free gas and water - along
with the general prosperity which
contrasts so strangely with unbe-
lievably low prices-are attributed
to oil. Twelve years ago the local
cemetery was moved to Willow
Grove to make way for an oil der
rick.
The oil company, which drilled
Is wells within the city limits,
contracted to provide gas and
water free as long as the oil
supply holds out.
Mayor Cecil Faris, "the biggest
man in Tomball''-he wasted away
from 400 pounds to mere 280 after
a recent illness-admits that may
be the cost of living has gone up in
Tomball, but it's not noticeable"
"Of course" he adds, 1--WE did OBJ
ject when the restaurants lacked
up lunches from 40 to As cents"
William Holderrieth, owner of a
furniture store, had been renting the
same apartments for 10 years for
So month. He increased the rent
after furnishing them. Now they
rent for $40. Most of them are three
room duplexes with bath and, OF
course, free gas and water.

Winter Wheat Planting
Drops II Percent

WINTER WHEAT paintings in
Montana during the fall of 1947
amounted to 1,715,000 acres, a IL
percent decrease from the 1,949,-
900 acres planted the previous fall,
according to P. j. Greer, agricultur-
al statistician.
Although the acreage planted is
less than that of last year, it. is
still the third largest in the history
of the state. The most pronounced
decline in seeding was in the north
central portion of the state, prob
ably due to the heavy losses from
winter kill to the 1947 crop and a
serious weed development in other
former winter wheat localities.
Growers had better weather dur
ing seeding time this fall than in
1916. Heavy rainfall in September,
2.64 inches compared with the nor
NAL of LAT inches, followed by mild
open weather in October provided
ideal conditions for fall seeding.
The condition of the crop averaged
90 percent on Dec. l, only one
point lower than the previous year.
From a relationship of Dec. /
condition with yields for past years
and with average winter kill, the
production of winter wheat in 1948
is forecast at $4,000, 900 bushels. This
compares with 1899, 900 bushels
for 1947, 32,813,000 bushels for 1916,
and the 10-year, 1936-45, average of
&c, 1886, 900 bushels.
