1850 World Series
Scheduled To Open
Wed. In Shibe Pork
At Philadelphia

NEW TURK, Oct Z--tRl-A
0ne-time baseball castoff named
Dick Sisler strobe to the plate in
the 10th inning today and wacked
a dramatic three-run homer that
gave the Philadelphia Phillies
their first National League pen
nant since 1915.
Sisters climatic clout spelled
all the difference in Philadel-
phia's 4 TO l triumph over the
Brooklyn Dodgers whose amazing
stretch drive luck" had run out
only a half inning earlier.
As II stands now, the 1850 World
Series will open at Shibe Park in
Philadelphia on Wednesday with
the Phils entertaining the New
York Yankees who clinched their
18th American League pennant
last week.
II is SisIer the baseball world
VIII think of a half century from
now when they recall the game,
but a determined young pitcher
with ieewafer in his veins had
just as big 2 stake in the triumph.
The cool highlander, Robin
Roberts, set the Dodgers down
with Just five hits and the way
ne emerged from the brink of de-
feat in the last of the ninth was a
baseball work of art.
It was Robby's 10th victory of
the season.
And another young man with a
rifle arm, outfielder Richie Ash
burn, can claim a good share of
glory, too. It was his deadly
throw in the ninth that nipped
the potential winning Dodger run
at the plate and sent the game in
to overtime.
With Roberts and Dodger
Pitcher Don Newcombe posting
gooseeggs on the scoreboard for
five innings, Philadelphia went
to work in the top of the sixth
and scored a run on three singles
Sisler scored the tally And
then in the last of the sixth. little
Pee Wee Reese evened It up with
a much-discussed home run that
landed on a concrete ledge In
right center and refused to come
down. Had the ball bounded
back down. it would have been IN
play. After that, the jam-packed
throng Of 5,073 had that wait un-
til the last of the ninth to check
their pulse again.
For IT was then that Roberts
walked Cal Abrams. and Reese
followed up with a single
Up stepped Duke Snider and he
smashed a single to left. The
fleet Abrams flew off second with
the pitch and rounded third head
ing for home But he never got
there. Ashburn picked up the
ball in left and fired a perfect
strike TO Catcher Stan Lapata.
The dangerous Jackie Robinson
was walked Intentionally and then
Roberts got Carl Furillo on foul
to Eddie Watkins at first
Then came the 10th and Rob-
erts, the first man UP, singled So
did Watkins, but Ashburn forced
Roberts at third on the next play.
Next was Sisters turn and the
rest is history.

Former Russian
Slave Loborer
Tells of Horrors

CINCINNATI-H those who ad
vocate communism for the United
States could live in Russia for 8
few years and get to know the &C
tual conditions they would quickly
change their minds, Mrs. Rather
Inc Reitenbach asserts.
Mrs. Reitenbach, who recently
arrived in Cincinnati to make her
home after five years as a slave
laborer in Russian coal mines,
says Americans would find it hard
to believe the true conditions OF
that country.
She was born in the United States
but moved to Germany with her
parents when she was a child. In
1914, when she was living in Yugo-
slavia, she was taken by the Rus
slams, along with many other Ger
man and Hungarian girls, to work
in Russia.
In the first labor camp to which
she was sent, there were 900 work.
ers, most of whom had been in
formed they were to stay only a
month or two, but the work period
dragged into years.
Mrs. Reitenbach said the work
ers were paid, but they had to pro-
duce a set amount of coal to get
their pay and then had to give
most of it back for their food,
which was poor and often consist
ed of a watery cabbage soup.
Sanitation was bad and many
workers incurred scarlet and ty-
phoid fevers.
Women and elderly men do most
Of the work in the Soviet Union,
she said. Men Of the Communist
party are often assigned to one
town for a little while and then
moved on. For that reason there
Is little family life. Homes con-
sist usually Of just n oom with
only a chair, bed and stove.
She said she was informed that
there would be worldwide commu-
nism, perhaps by 1852, and then be
full realization Of Communist OBJ
jectives. Under that plan, every
thing would be free and workers
would receive no pay, because
there would be nothing to buy, she
said.
Released last November, she
went to Germany and then came
to the United States to live with
her brother.

ROTARY HEARS CRAFT
TALK ON BOND ISSUE

The initial work on the bono
issue for charging the elementary
school in district 7 has been COM
pleted by P. T. A. workers who
circulated petitions. The petitions
will now be passed on by the school
board to the county clerks office
where they will be checked and
poll books prepared.
Speaking to the Laurel Rotary
club on the subject of the bond is
sue, Fred w. Graft said that the
school board hoped this coming
school year would be the last to
be held under existing crowded
conditions; however, election work
has so jammed the county clerks
office that there is no assurance
that necessary work can be done
in time to include the bond issue in
the regular election. Delay on this
point, he said, could delay the
building program by another year.
When members of the p. T. A.
who were circulating the petitions
asked him what they should say
regarding the cost of the proposed
building program, Graft said he
told them it was not a matter of
how much the buildings would cost,
but rather a matter of when they
be constructed. Good
schools cost money!" he said, land
you have got to expect the bill"
at is within the facilities of this
district to pay"
Graft then warned that this is
not the last bond issue that is 60
ing to be needed here. At the pres
ent there r preparations under
way to divide the county into high
school districts in order that they
may be bonded and the funds thus
obtained used to enlarge the high
school facilities. In speaking of
delays that have afflicted the pro-
posed division, Graft said he could
not sympathize with the contention
that existing laws were not ade-
quate to the need in setting up the
high school districts. He cited the
fact that there r presently 40
counties which have set up high
school districts under the existingI
laws as support for his view.
Representatives of the opposition
in the matter of the proposed high
school districts did not speak at
the meeting.
Visiting Rotarians at the meet
ing were K. Berven and R. M.
of Red Lodge, and f. c..
Nielsen of Billings. Guests at the
meeting were Sam Pefley, Joe
Nicholas, and H. E. Nelson.

Detroit Man is World
Champion Blood Donor

EAST LANSING, Mich.-Fostef
Clark, "A. ~janitor and newsstand
proprietor, was not impressed by
the claim of a Columbus, O., man
that he was second in line for the
world champion blood donor, or
the claims Of an Englishman for
the championship. The English
man was supposed to have donated
rs pints while the Ohio mar had
donated 70.
Clark said he was unimpressed
because he had Red Cross and
blood bank record to prove his do
nation Of 1876 pints of blood since
1880.
There are probably others who
have given as much blood as 1
have" Clark said. But it burned
me up to have that guy in Ohio
claiming his 70 pints was the Sec
ond best in the world"
A former West Virginia coal
miner, Clark said he started CIV
ing blood in 1880 when a call went
out for donors after a mine disas-
ter.
II walked eight miles over the
mountains one night to give a man
a pint of blood" he said," and
then walked back home again in
time to go to work in the pit in the
morning"

Long Awaited
Whooping Crane
Born, Killed

AUSTWELL, Tex.-Bird lovers
throughout the world were thrilled
with the announcement that the
first whooping crane ever born in
captivity had Matched near Aust
well.
The joy, however. was short
lived, because the baby crane.
named Rusty, disappeared within
a few days and is believed to have
been killed.
Bird lovers had been hoping for a
long-legged hopper for years, be-
cause whoopers are all but ex-
tinct. There are only 81 of the
cranes, tallest birds native to
North America, throughout the
world. A special refuge was estab-
lished near Austwell in the hope
they would multiply.
Some time ago, a pair of love-
smitten whooping frames named
Josephine and Grip raised hopes
that soon there would be 38 in
their family. Josephine built a
nest and laid al egg.
The news went around the world.
Josephine and Grip started taking
turns sitting on the nest. 1t wasn't
long before she tossed Grip out,
however, and monopolized opera
ton incubation.
T%hirty-two days later the first
whooping crane to be born in cap
tivity was Matched. In a couple OF
days he could be seen running
around in the 150-acre enclosure
with his parents whooping along
after him.
But one morning a few days
later there was no Rusty, as he had
been named. 1t is believed he was
killed.

Facts About Soils

Soils vary greatly in water-hold-
ing capacity. Some gravelly soils
may not hold as much as one inch
of water per foot of soil. Other
fine-textured clay soils with high
humus content may hold IS much
as four inches or more Of water
per foot. These factors along with
others such as the slope of the
field, the depth of the soil, the rate
that water Is absorbed and the SUBJ
drainage, influence the amount Of
water to be applied.
