club officials, Al (Flip) ROsen,
who has played third base for the
Blues this season, has one I'M
fOrgivable defect: He belongs to
the Cleveland organization. With
that exception, however, they are
willing to cOncede that Flip, who
dominated the Texas League hit
ting and base-running records last
year as a member of the Okla
hOma City team, has a bright
major league future.
Rosen was the only member of
the American Associations all
star selection who gained his po-
sition by unanimous vote. Asso-
citation writer's have named him
outstanding freshman of 1948."
Al had looked on a few days
earlier when his chief challenger,
Hank Bauer, went on a smuggling
spree with five circuit blows
smashed during a series at home.
When the Blues reached Lexing-
ton Park in st. Paul, July ~,
ROsen waved greetings to the
coliseum roof in left field, made
his familiar cross at the side of
the plate and began swinging.
In five successive trips to teh
plate, AL clouted that number of
swats on the Coliseum roof for
what, undoubtedly, is an Associa-
ton record as the loops book of
statistics reveals nothing equaling
the feat.

Marvin ROtblatt, diminutive
southpaw on option from the Chi
cagO White SOx, carved place in
the Three-I Leagues hall of fame
for pitchers with nO-hit 8 to 2
victory over Terre Haute, Aug
ust 6 for Waterloo, Ia. Errors
deprived him of shutOut.
Rotblatt, who had trial with
the White Sox following his grad
uation from the University of Ill
inois, famed IL, walked six and
hit two batsmen. Only two balls
were lifted out of the infield. The
sole hit threat, drag bunt by Bill
Higdon in the seventh inning, was
scored as an error by Rotblatt,
who fumbled the ball on what
would have been a close play at
first base.
The Phillies counted their two
runs in the eighth, punching two
bases on balls and an error to
load the sacks, one runner cross
ing the plate on a fielder's choice
and the other on a miscue.
Rotblatt's victory was achieved
at the expense of former college
teammate, Jack Brittin.
In his first three games at
Waterloo, ROtblatt allowed three
earned runs-and all were home
runs by Springfield. He must be
recalled by the White SOx, this
fall, or else he becomes subject
to draft by other major league
mines.

Salter Go. Is
Obtaining Workers

With the hiring of several new
production employees last week,
the H. B. Salter Manufacturing
Co. is off to a good start toward
its goal of $50 new employees by
Nov. 30, E. P. Bishop, Salter per-
sonnel manager said today.
Most of the employees taken
on last week have been placed
in the core room or foundry,
and are finding their new jobs
very much to their liking, he in
dicated.
while we have added several
new workers since we. began our
expansion program" Mr.. Bishop
said, there are still a great
many more openings in every
department of the plant"
Anyone interested in employ
ment at the Salter plant is urged
by Mr.. Bishop to call on him any
day from 8 a. m. to p. m. or
$50 a. m. to IL noon Saturdays.
The ultimate goal is two full
shifts-500 production workers.
The Eljer Co., which last month
acquired all the Salter holdings
besides the Marysville plant, is
also doubling production at the
National Brass Manufacturing Co.
in Bellefontaine. Here the goal is
so new employees by Nov. 80 for
a total production force of 100.

attack on farm prices is peculiar
ly ill-timed. u. S. farmers are
finishing crop growing season
with the expectation of produc-
ing the greatest total of food and
feed ever harvested in one year
by a single nation. They produc-
ed those crops at the request of
government officials and under
the urging of humanitarian or
ganizations interested in reliev-
ing hunger in all parts of the
world.
At the present time, trainloads
of food are rolling toward sea-
ports and the food on those trains
was contributed for the relief of
world hunger by farmers of Ohio
and of other states. People who
are interested only in gouging
money out of consumers do not
give away products they can sell.
Prices of farm products drop
ped enough between July Is and
Aug. Is, 1948, to take S25, 100000
from the prospective 1948 total
farm income of Ohio, which
means that every farmer in the
state took an average loss of $l00.
Figures provided by the Bureau
of Business Research, Ohio State
University, show that city resi-
dents spend a smaller share of
their annual income for food
now than they did in l935-39,
when the farm industry was bare
ly able to breathe after being run
through the economic wringer.
The economists say the facts
about the income of workmen
and of professional people can
be obtained and publicized, and
the students of economic trends
believe the farmer has made a
greater contribution toward the
national welfare and has receiv-
ed much less for his efforts than
some other classes of workers.
The farm day still averages over
IL hours, and the farm week is
seven days.
