Thinning Plants

Gardeners should always plan
their gardens carefully and buy
seed wisely. Also. they should
sow the seed sparingly and trans
plant all surplus plnats possible
A thinning process is essential for
the greatest production of many
vegetables.
Plants growing too thick in the
row produce not only lower quail
ity vegetables, but they need more
fertilizer and more water.
Beets, cabbage, lettuce and to-
mato plants may be transplanted
as they are thinned from the row
or bed. Carrot, eggplant, onion,
and pepper plants can be trans
planted, but is is little harder to
move them. Do not try to trans
plant beans, peas, turnips, cucum-
bers, melons and other plants.

VALENTINO I5 KNOCKED OUT
 BY CHARLES
Sm ashing Right to Jaw Sends Challenger Down
 in Eighth Round

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15.-lR- Ezzard Charles, lanky master boxer chopped down challenger Pat Val entino with single smashing right last night to successfully defend his world (NBA) heavyweight box ing title.
 The Cincinnati Negro. swift footed, sharp-punching 1892 pounder, knocked out the mop-haired San Franciscan in 35 seconds of the eighth round of their scheduled 15- rounder last night at the San Fran cisco Cow Palace. Valentino weighed 1881a.
 The first heavyweight champion ship battle held in this arena in forty years, it was a slambang fight that had the record crowd of 1850 fans cheering wildly at times.
 Charles crushed Valentines title hopes with smashing right to the jaw. The challenger, who had ex- changed blow for blow in furious rallies, went down with a. thud. He tried to stagger to his feet but fell back again as Referee Jack Downey finished the ten count.
 It was Charles second success full defense since he beat Joe Wal colt to win N.B.A. recognition as successor to Joe Louis last spring. The titleholder stopped Gus Les nevich in August.
 The crowd was the largest to see an indoor fight in California. The gate receipts of $167,870 also established a new mark for the state.
 The Associated Press score sheet and most of the boxing writers had the champion out in front at the start of the eighth.
 Referee Downey and Judge Frankie Carter, both San Francis cans, had Valentino in front by a single point. Judge Frank Manfredo of Fresno had Charles ahead by two points after the seventh.
 Charles had the aption of 10000 guarantee or 35 per cent of the gate receipts, which would give him about $45,500.
 Valentino worked for flat S5 ,O0O guarantee.

SEASON {! OVER, [:
 BUT DOLLARS STILL PITCH
BY JOE REICHLER

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-tR-The World Series may be over, but base ball refuses to be crowded out of the sports pages.
 For the second straight day, all three New York clubs put over deals in strengthening for next season.
 The Brooklyn Dodgers, as has heen their custom, were the most orulent dealers, bringing up three promising minor league farmhands to replace Mary Rackley and Dick Witman, a couple of expendable outfielders sold to rival National League clubs.
 Dodger Boss Branch Hickey, who two day ago pocketed a reported SlOo,o00 from the Chicago Cubs for pitcher Paul Minner and first base man Preston Ward, sold Rackley to Cincinnati for about $50,000 and Whitman to the Philadelphia Phils for $25,o00.
 In unloading these second line performers, Hickey was in position to hring up catcher Steve Lembc and second baseman Ever e tt (Rocky) Bridges from Montreal, and first baseman Dee Fondy from Mobile.
 The New York Yankees brought up Paul Hinrichs. righthanded tonus pitcher from Kansas City ! and released veteran Hugh Casey
 The New York Giants purchased Louis Sleater, a lefthanded bonus pitcher from Jacksonville of the South Atlantic League

 Football
 Roundup
BY ED CORRIGAN

1 NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-lR-There will be other college football games in the country today, but most of the attention will be focused on the battle of the behemoths-Notre Dame and Tulane. The Irish, tied only twice in their past 3l games, will rule a two touchdown favorite when they step on the turf at South Bend, Ind. Tulane has captured 12 straight since losing its first game of the 1948 season.
 Only thing certain is that the ranks of the major unbeaten and united elevens will be depleted Notre Dame and Tulane are among the 18 major teams which boast perfect records.
 Tulsa dumped Villanova out of the select circle last night with a stunning 21-19 upset triumph.
 BIG TEN PROGRAM
 The Big Ten has a good program featured by the clash between Min nesota and Ohio State. The chances are good that the victor in this one will come out on top in the conference.
 Michigan, upset victim of Army last week, will be out to reinstate itself at the top of the heap at the expense of Northwestern. Indiana takes on Iowa in another Big Nine encounter.
 In the east, most of the attention will te centered on the Ivy League. The top attraction will pit Cornell against Yale, Army should have no trouble knocking off Harvard, which has yet to win game.
 ON PACIFIC COAST
 On the Pacific Coast, California, present favorite to take Conference honors, goes in against Southern California. If the Bears can over come Southern Cal, they would only have to beat UCLA to virtually clinch top honors.
 Stanford, upset last week by UC- LA and Michigan's victim the Sat- urday before, meets underdog Washington at Seattle in a game the weatherman says will be play ed in the rain.
 Other Pacific Coast Conference games include Washington State at Idaho and Montana at Oregon State.
 The top southern game of the day will pit North Carolina, the nations sixth-ranking team-and undefeated- against Wake Forest, which so far has been a disappoint- ment.

 "The CAB is denying to Alaska the same air policy consideration given to each of the 48 States" !" Hilsoher continued. Tn the United States, the CAB allows, in addition to delux service. an abundance of sky coaches and air freighters to service the people. Tn Alaska the CAB states in substance that two certified carriers can handle all the business.
 If it is the desire of the CAB to stifle Alaska's development and turn the Territory back to the gold rush era, then this agency is al- ready accomplishing it's purpose. |"

TELEVISI0N CUTS DOWN ATTENDANCE
 AT FOOTBALL GAMES

SEATTLE, Oct. 15.--tR-Washing- ton Athletic Director Harvey Cas- sil will keep tight finger on the U. of w. stadium's attendance pulse today in an effort to determine whether television is really making it sick.
 Cassill said yesterday that turn outs had been lower than anticipat- ed this season, but it still was too early to blame yideo. But, he added, wen know something is wrong if attendance falls off at the Stan ford game.
 The trial run of teleyising all five home games this season will be continued, he assured, but the prac- tice will be discontinued in future if it puts damper on the turnstiles. AS a possible solution, Cassill sug- gested limiting television to games that are sellouts.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15.--tR-The Los Angeles Dons would highly pre- fer that San Francisco refrain from humiliating the defending champion Cleveland Browns of the America Conference.
 The Dons paid dearly for the San Francisco 56-28 win over the proud Clevelanders last Sunday be- cause the enraged Browns came on down here last night and took revenge on the hapless locals to the tune of 61 to 14.
 Otto Graham of Cleveland set up a new loop mark in throwing six touchdown passes, eclipsing the five Frankie Albert registered for San Francisco against them last Sun day.

Trick riding originated with the
Russians, but in case this news
should impel Congressional in

been popular with cowboys since
the days of Billy the Kid.
While men make the best trick

every time they do their special
ties, depending upon the length
of the run of the show.
If that seems like high pay,
remember that they must pay
all their own expenses. Co.'S

Hats begin at S25. Boots start at

$500 up.
Mary Her has three hats, Is
