Increased Chicken Consumption
Urged by Poultry Commission

Urged by Poultry Commission
In view of the current low price
of fresh young checker, the Della
ware Poultry Commission has
launched. a campaign to encourage
increased consumption of fryers
and broilers.
According to ]. Frank Gordy, ex-
ecutive secretary for the Commis-
sion, the present farm price for
poultry is we'll below the cost OF
production, although some price
rise can be expected as the supply
adjusts to market demand. Con-
sumers are being urged to take
advantage of the low-priced, fine
quality chicken now abundant in
the markets.
The Poultry Commission is
working closely with chain stores
in metropolitan areas, urging Them
to feature young chicken in Their

two widely-known chain stores
have given top billing to broilers
and fryers at 29 cents a pound

The Tigers and Phillies to clash
in the 1850 World Series-that's
what the signpost says.
If tradition is to be upheld, then
the second-place Philadelphia
club in the National League and
the first-place Detroit team in
the American should win the flags.
For years baseball men believed
the legend that the teams in first
place on independence Day were
almost certain to meet in the
World Series. That is only half
truth.
Data for the last Is years show
that 13 of the American League
pace-setters on that significant
July 4 marker have gone on to win
pennants. In the National League,
only seven have fulfilled this
legend.

win in the National. five rose from
the runnerup spot to overtake the
leaders. So it appears that the

days big sports question is: Has
anything happensd to the 1850
baseball?
The, answer in the highly mod
ern factory here where all major
league baseballs are manufactured
is:
Absolutely nothing has hap
pened to the baseball. It is just
the same fundamentally as it has
been since 1910"
Look elsewhere, A. G. Spalding
Co. says, if you want to find the
reason for the modern splurge OF
home runs and high-scoring
games.
Logically there is no reason for
Spalding to tamper with the ball.
In fact, common sense shows
Spalding's prime interest is to
protect its product. Since 1878 it
has made all National League
balls. Through acquisition of A.
j. Reach, it makes all American
League balls. Many minor leagues
are served as well. The market is
assured. Why ruin it?

Cass came off the bench to start

Pearce walked four Yankees sue

That pathetic pitching cost the
Mats six runs at time when they

Bob Kuzava presented the Mats
with a neat effort in the second
game but was sabotaged by erratic
fielding. He yielded an unearned

He went to third when Johnny
OStrowski threw wild past Sam

The 12th-seeded Seixas, tired
after his five-set upset victory yes

seeded Patty away from the net.
Patty's superb volleying was the

three double faults and still won
the game.

In 1949, for instance, tests on

the tests showed 375.5 feet into a
headwind of 5.3 miles up to 4O3.8
feet on June 26 with following
wind of "a miles.
"All this means that except for

absolutely no change" Brown en-
phasized.
"The big change in baseballs was

Only One Ball a Game.
1t must have been wonderful
change for baseball, because back
in those days even the major
leagues stuck to one ball to a game,
instead of dozens as now. And
this ball took quite a battering.
In 1911. Spalding proudly ad-
vertised this testimonial from
Roger Bresnahan, manager of the
st. Louis Cardinals:

would be difficult to challenge the
statement of William T. Brown,
vice president in charge of manu-
featuring:
There is absolutely no change
in the baseball"
But is there such thing as the
lively, or rabbit baseball?
Yes, Brown says.
Actually the lively ball came
into existence in 1910 with the
introduction of the natural cork
center. Since then, there have
been only very small notifications.
There was a loss of quality
during World War II due to re-
strictions on rubber and the tan
ming of horsehides, but funda-
mentally the ball has not been
changed since 1910.
Our records show this conclu-
sively."
Brown is an enormous man, an
ex-oarsman who stands closer to
Z feet than to 6, and he gets pretty
grim at the suggestion that any
one has been tampering with the
official baseball.
No Protests to Factory.
1t is significant that with all
the clamor raised about the recent
epidemic of home runs. not one
protest about the ball has been
lodged by official baseball sources
with the factory that makes it.
Sample driving tests made at
the factory over the past 10 years
show variation from a low aver
age distance of 351.2 feet into
headwind of n miles per hour in
1886 up to a maximum of 410 feet
aided by a following wind of SD

Americas outstanding entrants in

Johnny Bulla of Pittsburgh and

got off to not-too-good starts to-

after two days of qualifying.
Bulla, who led the qualifiers with
70-70-140, shot a 73 today
and only his remarkable recovery
shots kept him in the running.
Stranahan, who won the British
Amateur title last month, sky
rocketed to a n after shooting a

Arthur Lees, a British profess
Sional, was today's early leader
with 68, followed-by only one
stroke-by Bobby Locke of South

rated at 4 to l, was the pre-tour-

Bulla and Stranahan were the
first of four Americans to tee off

Has Trouble on First Nine.
Bulla, handsome. curly haired
former airplane pilot, who twice
has been a runner-up in this
tourney. had much of his trouble
today on the first nine holes. On
the sixth. 580-yard affair, he
was in the rough twice and had
to settle for a six. On the seventh
his drive landed in divot and
was half buried. He blasted to
the corner of a bunker and from
there placed the ball 10 feet from
the pin. He sank it for a par.
Bulla used only 80 puts on the
round. sinking a chip shot on the
ninth.
