17O-LB. CALF AT BIRTH
Believed to be Heaviest Calf Born
In Delaware

A 170-pound bull calf was born
on the farm of Joseph Ennis, near
Smyrna, to a six-year-old Holstein.
Farmers in this locality agree that
this is something of record-break-
ing weight. Mr.. Ennis has been
told that the records at the Univer-
sity of Delaware show no calf of
greater weight at birth than 140
pounds. This is the third calf born
to the Holstein, and no previous
calf showed any weight above
normal. She milks rs pounds when
fresh, according to her owner.

When the Trotters started
their twenty-third season this

defeats and one tie. They have
since added more than 125 vic
tories as against single loss.

score, every fan they attract,
every mile they travel, or every
foul they make sets new cage

The Globetrotters- Celtic game
will be the main attraction of a

will get under way at 800 PM.
The first game will be between
the Philadelphia Sphas and a

other half-time entertainment
features.
With Tatum on the Trotters
team are Sweetwater Clifton,
Marques Haynes, Elmer Robin

How To Choose A Bowling Ball
Picking the right ball is one of
the fundamental steps to good
bowling. Like a hat, your ball
has 10 fit right. T h u m b hole
Is important and 8 h o oul d be
snug and comfortable. Stretch
fingers across the ball and over
finger holes. The second joint
should extend just over the edge
of finger hole. To see IL the ball
fits properly, pencil can be
placed between the palm Of the
h a n d and ball. That's all the
space you should allow. A ball
too large or too small will hurt
your game. A proper grip allows
easy insertion of the fingers,
and feeling that the ball is firm
ly In your hand. 1t won't take
long to get the feel Of the ball.
Basic Plugs
Your basic assortment of plugs
should include two surface plugs
One that acts like an injured
minnow and one that causes a
decided surface disturbance; two
underwater plugs that float and
one that swims with a wobble; a
deep running plug; and a dart
ing and wobbling spoon.
Good colors are white and red,
also some minnow color such as
a dace or silver and green.

Did You Say Strike?

When you say strike" to a
fellow real quick, he probably
thinks of a big-league umpire or
perhaps a pitcher like Bobby
Feller. If you say strike around
Bayonne, New Jersey, however,
the chances are that the person
you are talking to will imme-
diately think of Johnny Bomba.
Johnny, who is SO, is a bowler
of parts, and he ushered in the
New Year in great style with a
terrific exhibition at Staten Is
land when he toppled 1903 pins
in six games for an average of
slightly over 251.
Bomba rolled the players
dream, perfect 800 game and
then, just to show it wasn't an
accident, he followed it up with
another perfect game. And the
last four balls he sent down the
alleys before bowling his two
consecutive perfect games were
strikes, so he rang up a string of
% consecutive strikes.

How To Gore
For Your Reels

The most vital part of any
fishing reel Is the level-wind.
Therefore, TO keep a reel Of this
type in working order, it must
be kept clean and well oiled.
Minute particles of dirt may be
the cause of the pawl giving out
or the burning of the spiral shaft.
Once the level-wind jams, these
parts must be replaced. Examine
the spiral shaft before each fish
ing trip. If there is burr where
one groove crosses another, you
are in for trouble. Either replace
the parts or use a spare reel.
Once these parts develop a burr,
they will last little longer.
Take your reel apart periodic
ally and clean it thoroughly in
a good cleaning fluid, such as
benzine or carbon-tetrachloride
Do not use gasoline that con-
tains lead. Brush all parts with
an old tooth brush, making sure
that all gum and grease is re-
moved. Before reassembling your
reel, place a small amount of
good gear grease on the main
gear. Do not pile 1t on, just
enough grease to fill the space
between the teeth will be suf-
ficient. To make sure you have
no more, put a bit of grease on
the index finger and spin the
gear against it until you have
made one complete revolution.
Do not use the type of oil
furnished with most reels. The
best oil is Nye's clock oil. This
can be obtained at most jewelers.
or from their supplier. Oil used
on sewing machines and type
writer's is much too heavy. Clock
oil such as Nye's will not slow
your reel up, even on a cold day.
1t will tend to speed it up. Too
much oil is better than too little.
Use a round tooth pick and place
one drop in each bearing, one
or two in the crank shaft and
three or four along the level
wind shaft, every time the reel
is used.

one Of the most important in

with this record, but later that
year Vaughn cut ''There 1 CO.,
and his theme song, Racing
With The Moon, which enjoyed
good sales and justified the faith
the recording executives had in
him. The year 1912 produced
"Tangerine", but it was in 1945
that he finally hit the big time
on records with 'There, I've
Said 1t Again, which sold
l 1,250,000 copies. Next on the
growing list of hits was Let 1t
Snow, Let 1t Snow in 1945, and
then in 1947 the second million
disc, "Ballerina", which went
1,750,000. Cool Water, in 1948,
became the first of the Monroe
western hits, while Riders In

mark in just seven weeks. Other
1949 hits were RED Roses For
"A Blue Lady, "Someday",
Mule Train, and Singing My
Way Back Home" from Vaughn's S
motion picture, Singing Guns"
Today Vaughn Monroe is
.RCA-Victor's first artist in rec
ord sales. He averages 5000, 600
records a year, and his western
records alone have gone over the
1000, 900 mark. He has sold well
over 20,000,000 records since he
started recording. His first re-
