Insect Control For Gardens:

1t seems that the greatest in
sect damage in the garden at this
time of year is done by the Mexi-
can bean beetle and the blister
beetle. The Mexican bean beetle
can be controlled by busting or
spraying with lindane. Always
spray from the ground up so you
will hit the underside of the
leaves. Another good Mexican
bean beetle insecticide is ro-
tonene, material known as Cattle
Grub Control, containing one and
25f100 per cent rotonene. Use
this material as a dust and dust
from bottom leaves up. This will
give you good ontrol Of the Mexi-
can Bean Beetle. The blister
beetle is slender, long with brown
stripes or black stripes and re-
sembles the lighting bug and us.
ually feeds on tomatoes, egg
plants or most any of the gar
den plants. This insect can be
,, controlled by spraying with sc
per cent wettable DOT. Use one
cupful of so per cent wettable
DOT for each COLON of water
Spray material on vines. This
will not injure your plants or Is
not dangerous to fruits. Wash
fruits thoroughly before eating.

rally
The Braves final four rdns came
in the wild ninth inning with Wolf
CAST pitching. Harbaugh opened the
inning with a walk. Terrell hit a
grounder that Wollgast DETECTED. It
was felded by Kopenhaver and it
looked as if there had been a double
play but the umpire ruled that Ko-
penhaver had failed to touch second
and as a result Harbaugh was safe
at second with Terrell being out at
first. This brought on terrific rhu-
barb between Corbett, the Cards
manager, and the umpire, that re-
suited in Corbett being thumbed
out of the game Higham then
singled into short left with Harbaugh
stopping at third. linn was up next
and he forced Higham at second,
with Harbaugh scoring on the play.
Lind grounded to Kopenhaver at
short, who let the ball go through
him and linn went to third on the
error and Lind was safe at first, and
when Joyner fielded the ball and
made wild throw to the infield,
linn scored on the second error of
the play and Lind went all the way
to third. Levan then singled to right
for his third hit of the game, scoring
Lind with the third run Burgett
walked, sending Levan to second
and with Glunt at bat, Osteen, the
catcher, threw the ball into right
field trying to pick Burgett off first,
and Levan scored the fourth run on
the error (the third of the inning)
Van Heuit fielded the ball and when
Burgett tried to go to third on the
play he was thrown out to retire the
side.

AT ALLENTOWN
(Monday, August I'd

The Braves won their seventh
straight game at Allentown on Mon
day night when they won their
fourth and final game of the series
by a lopsided score of 9 to l.
Charlie Higham went the route
for Hagerstown and in doing so
earned his tenth win Che has lost
nine). Terrell was his catcher
Schmidt ,(the losing pitcher) start
ed for the Cards but was taken out
for a pinch hitter in the sixth and
was relieved in turn by Moford and
Wollgast. Osteen was behind the
plate.
Although Higham had a shahy
start, giving up all of the nine hits
Allentown got in the first five in
nings, he was able to get out of trou
BILE in all but the first frame when the
lone run was scored against him, and
he got fine support from his team
mates.
Both teams scored in the first in
ming. In the top half, linn, the first
man up, singled to left and went to
second on a passed ball. Lind then
grounded to Kopenhaver at short
who made wild throw to first, with
linn scoring all the way from sec
ond on the error and Lind being safe
at first Levan flied to left for the
first out and then Burgett hit fly
to short rightfeld and, as it looked
as if it was going to drop safely,
Lind was almost down to second
when Van Heuit raced in, made a
sensational catch and threw to first
in plenty of time to double off Lind
and retire the side.
In the bottom half Kelchner, the
first man up, beat out bunt and
then went to second on a wild pitch
JoYner also beat out a bunt, with
Kelchner going to third from where
he scored after the catch when Van
Heuit flied to right. MaroleWski
forced Joyner for the second out,
but Killinger came through with the
third hit of the inning, single to
center sending Marolewski to third,
but Swederske ended the inning by
forcing Killinger at second.
The first two men at bat for AL
lentown in the second inning sin
gled, but double play ended that
threat. They had another scoring
chance in the fifth when they got
more hits to put men on first and
third with two out, but the next bat
ter grounded out and Higham was
again out Of trouble. From then on
he set the Cards down without a
sign of hit.
Hagerstown's second run came in
the fourth Levan opened the in
ming with a double to right, but Bur-
gett flied out to center. Then with
/ Glunt at bat, Schmidt made wild
throw to second trying to pick off
Levan who went to third on the err
ror Glunt then flied out to deep
center, with Levan scoring easily
after the catch. Tedesco grounded
out to end the inning.
It was 81 Hagerstown in the sixth.
linn, the first man up, walked and
Lind sacrificed him to second, from
where he scored on Levan's double.
Burgett followed with single to
short right, with Levan stopping at
/ third, from where he scored after
the catch when Glunt flied out to

Saturday.
One of the most famous athletes in
the world, Mildred (Babe) Didrik-
son Zaharias, will make a personal
appearance at the Fountain Head
Country Club on Saturday
Mrs Zaharias, recently selected as
the outstanding female athlete of the
last half century in an associated
press poll, will stage a golf clinic
during her visit to the Fountain
Head course, and will also play an
18-hole exhibition match with sever
al of the leading golfers at the Ha-

The clinic and exhibition, which
will get underway at 1870 p. m, will
be open to the general public and
Fountain Head officials are making
arrangements to entertain golfing en-
thusiasts from Hagerstown and sur

The Babe needs little introduction
to local sports fans Her outstand-

Before turning to golf, she was a
champion at running, swimming,
javelin throwing, diving, hurdling,
high jumping, baseball, boxing, rifle
shooting, horseback riding, billiards
these and others, including basket
ball, where her playing marked her
as the outstanding woman player.
Her feats in the 1882 olympic games
are still in the record books.
In recent years, Mrs. Zaharias
turned to golf and rapidly climbed
the ladder to success and now ranks
as the leading female golfer in the
world. She holds the women's driv-
ing record at 327 yards, and she has
made approach shots and long puts
