Hickey Predicts Peace
Between Feudinq
Pro Grid Leagues
BY the Assoeiofed Press

WHEREFORE, Ohio, Feb. H.
Branch Hickey, president of the
Brooklyn Dodgers of the All-Amer-
lea Football Conference, said some
nice things about the rival National
League today.
For one thing, he predicted peace
between the two big grid circuits
was not too far away and that the
An-America was on probation" SO
far as the National is concerned
Hickey came here from the A-AC
meeting in Chicago to speak before
the annual football banquet at Will
berforce State University a Negro
school. In a candid and impas-
stoned address, Hickey, as head o1
the Brooklyn baseball club, re-
vealed that he had defied the for
mally expressed opposition of Il
major league clubs to give Jackie
Robinson, first Negro star, his
chance at organized baseball.
Unfortunately the present war be-
tween the football leagues is expen-
sive, 'foolishly so," Hickey said
But much of that Is because the
National is not convinced of the
permanency of our league.
Lauds National League.
"The National deserves a lot OF
credit. It pioneered this profess
sional football thing, and lost a
lot of money doing it. imagine
they've put us on test, to see
whether we're going to fold up, be-
fore they accept U.s."
Hickey said he would remain as
general manager of the Brooklyn
grid team until I find some one
better qualified, and I won't have
much trouble finding some one who
knows more about 1t than I do
Speaking at the banquet last
night. hickey said:
after I had signed Robinson, but
before he had played q game, a
joint major league meeting adopted
unanimously a report prepared by
a Joint committee which stated that
however well intentioned, the use
of Negro players would hazard all
the physical properties OF baseball.
"You can't find a copy of that
report anywhere, but I was at the
meeting where it was adopted"
Hickey said the report was adopt
ed at the winter melting after the
appointment of A. B. Happy)
Chandler as commissioner.
president Ford Frick passed out
copies at the National League meet
ing. Each copy bore the name OF
the man to whom it was handed.
Report Read and Adopted.
after we read them, they were
collected. Frick checked off the
names to see that he had all the
copies. Then in the joint meeting
the report was read and adopted"
II have had this Robinson story
inside me for a couple of years, "
the head of the National League
champions said, land I've decided
the time has come for me to tell
just how I feel about the whole
thing.
1.-The American public not not as
concerned with a first basemans
pigmentation as it is with the pow
er of his swing, the deXterity of his
slide, the gracefulness of his field
ing or the speed of his legs.
Now there is a communistic ef-
fort to get credit for forcing us te
sign Robinson, but 7 warn you to
be on your guard against that
thing"

Trainer Is Undecided
On Starting Armed
=, ,.., ,.
In Rich Widener
BY the Associatsd Press

MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 17.-Wiu Armed
and Assault meet again Saturday.
That question had racegoers buzz
zing today as time for the $50, 900
added Widener Handicap at Hialeah
Park drew nearer.
Both have been nominated for the
Widener and each assigned 100
pounds in the mile and a quarter
classic. -
Trainer H. A. (Jimmy) Jones of
Calumet Farm said Armed is not q
certain starter and nothing definite
can be expected until later in the
week.
'I do know, though, that Armed
is years old and Is no longer Q
'130-pound horse" Jones added. ~.
BY that the trainer meant the
great gelding no longer merits
carrying 130 pounds.
Armed's supporters point out that
the Calumet gelding ran powerful
race and was closing fast in the
McLennan last Saturday, finishing
third behind El Mono and Riskolater.
Ell Mono ran the mile and an eighth
only one-fifth of the track record
and it appeared the fast-closing
Armed could have passed the leader
In the next so yards.
Assault, meanwhile, warmed up
with handy victory in the Minorca
purse and appeared in the peak Of
condition.
Thus the situation now is the re-
verse of that of last September when
the pair met in the Belmont Special.
Assault was not at his best then
and there had been reports he was
bothered by leg ailment.
In fine display of sportsmanship,
Owner Robert j. Kleberg said he
hoped Assault would give good
account of himself, and went through
with the race. The Calumet gelding

dressings and in other industries.
This new use in sealing bitches,
dams and reservoirs Games from the
remarkable water absorbing quail
ties of the clay.
Swells % Times Size
In outward appearances, Benton
lite is a yellowish gumbo-like clay
that a be finely powdered when
dry. When wet this colloidal DOW
der keeps absorbing water and
swells up to % times the original
size. The clay forms a tough, greasy
jell when wet and if it is placed ON
soil or even rocky ground it forms
a seal and keeps water from leaking
away.
The clay is put in the bitches dry
in a layer not less than one-half
inch thick. Unless it is mixed with
the soil, some of the clay may wash
away when water is turned in, but
enough will stay and swell up as it
washes through to seal the leak it
self. Care must be taken when
cleaning bitches treated with Ben
tonite not to cut through the seal
ing layer or dig it out.
The best method of application is
to mix the clay with the surface soil
of the ditch along the general area
of the leak. Organic material such
as brush and weeds should be raked
out of the ditch as well as large
rocks in the leaking spot to give a
better seal.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-03-01
Will 1t Last?

How thick the Bentonite needs to
be depends on the nature of the soil
and size of the leak but unless the
hole is as big as a barn, Bentonite
will do the job.
Will it last? This is a fair question
because of the alternate drying and
wetting of most irrigation bitches.
The answer, according to expert
ments, is that the more times the
Bentonite is dried and wet in a
weathering process, the better it be-
comes for this leak sealing job.
And another good feature of this
sealing program, which is important
in drainage problems and water
conservation, is that repayment of
part of the cost of the job may be
obtained as an approved A. C.. A.
practice. The cost varies from So
a ton for clay from the Beaverhead
deposit to as much as $43 a ton for
highly refined powder from out of
the state. But if this cost seems
a little high, just look around; you
may discover your own Bentonite
diggings.

Also check the time it took for the
