Peter Mclean, the dapper Jockey
with just a trace of a Boston ac-
cent, likes Repetoire's chances Of
winning both the Chesapeake
Stakes and the Kentucky Derby.
But Joe Culmone, now the leading
rider at Laurel, says the Virginia
bred colt with the misspelled name
doesn't have a chance in the
Derby. Yet, both speak from ex-
per.ence.

regard for the colt.
Culmone won three times and
placed once in four races on Repe-

Ben Hogan Proposed

BY the Associated Press

RIDGEWOOD, N. j., April g.
Ben Hogan was proposed today
as commissioner of professional
golf The suggestion was made
by George Jacobus Of the Ridge
wood Country Club, former Ma
tional PGA president.
The idea of golf commissioner
was suggested earlier in the week
by Jimmy Demaret, Masters
champion. at Augusta, Ga.
Jacobus, in kilograms to De-
maret, Hogan and other leading
pros. said he was suggesting Hogan
"ss the logical man for the job
The New Jersey golf pro told
Hogan, "Your qualifications and
understanding of the problems

it definitely clear that the game
needs a man of your caliber.'

Ira (Babe) Hanford, who had

Mats Best Bet
Against Reds
Alton Brown Likely
To Make Trip Here;
Simu Pitching Today
By Burton Howkins
Stor Sfaff Correspondent

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, April 6.
Cincinnati Reds are max
ing things tough for the Mats on
their homeward journey, the Ma
tional Leaguers having taken
three out of the first four games.
AL Sima, who has shown Bucky
Harris some pretty fair pitching,
was to try to stop the Reds to-
day. His opponent is Howie Fox,
one of the Reds better hurlers.
Just about the only bright spot
for the Washington club in yes
terday's 9-5 defeat by the Reds
at Gainesville was the pitching
performance of young Alton
Brown, newest of the Mats. After
Sandy Consuegra and Julio Mo-
reno had been pounded, the
youngster from Norfolk, Va,
stepped in and held the Reds to
one hit in three innings.
Now Brown, who won % games
last year for Roanoke Rapids,
N. c.. in the Glass D Coastal
Plains League, has one burning
ambition-to stay with the Mats
until opening day. April 16. That
will be his 23d birthday and he'd
like to see President Truman
throw out the first ball at Grifith
Stadium.
Has Chance to Stick.
Young Brown has, a pretty good
chance of achieving this, too. A
big highlander, he has shown
Harris some pretty effective pitch
ing. something the Mats manager
is not seeing very often these days.
Yesterdays performance was
Browns second good one. Four
days ago, while pitching for Chat

innings. Bucky promptly sent
word to Chattanooga officials to
turn him over to the parent club.

The onus would appear to be on the Boston
Boswells because on no other major league club
is there the ripe mutual dislike between ball
players and reporters that exists on both the
Braves and Red Sox. The charge of the players
is that Boston baseball writer's don't seem to

Doomed Land Redeemed
Cooperative Drainage Project Stops
Creeping Paralysis of Seepage
By c. KEITH MILLER
District Conserpati0niSt

DOOM HAS AN ominous sound.
But sometimes it can be laughed at.
And that, right now, is what farm
ers on the Emblem bench about 20
miles west of Greybull, Wyo., are
doing laughing at former prospects
that much of their land seemed
doomed.
The reason they can laugh is that
they joined hands and, in co-opera-
ton with the Greybull Valley soil
conservation district, solved the
problem of draining away the seep-
age water that was raising the wa
ter table to disastrous levels.
But it was no laughing matter a
few short years ago. The apparent
doom had closed in on some of the
land. Chris Simons, whose farm is
at the upper end of the. seeped area
which needed to be drained, tells
about it. When he bought his $50
acres five years ago, he said, only
IL acres could produce beans salts
factorily The rest of the farm was
badly water-logged and Doggy.
Il knew we had tough nut to
crack when I bought the farm" he
explained, ''but had seen other
places in the northwest where the
Soil Conservation service was oper-
ating and where drainage had been
successful. felt that we could make
a good farm out of this again.
I'VE Did Il"
''Well, we did. The land is all
cleared up now. 1t is producing good
crops-both beets and grain. Now,
l figure on using grass in the crop
rotation to go with the system of
legumes and manuring I've begun
in order to improve the structure OF
the soil and its fertility"
Gerald Orr, farther downstream
than Simons, described the seepage
as being a sort of creeping paralysis

year. Now, however, the drainage
system has ended that. The 40 acres
have been reclaimed. This year, the
oats went 100 bushels an acre, and
some of the beans yielded over 5000
pounds an acre.
Solution of this drainage situa-
ton didn't take place with ''pouf!"
just like that. 1t took study and
discussion. And, of course, those near
the upper part of the Emblem bench,
who like Simons and Orr, were al
ready under the gun, were much
more interested than those farther
down who weren't particularly both

ect was launched the main drains
were designed to total only 315
miles. Before it was finished, late
Corners had asked for aid. could be
tied into the system and boosted the
main drain total to 512 miles. Thir-
teen farmers. are served and nearly
1000 acres are directly affected.
''It was a little difficult at first
for some to understand that most of
the seepage came from the canal
and use of irrigation water" Orr ex-
planned "Just to demonstrate it, /
dug three test wells spaced some
distance apart on my place to see
what was happening. These wells
would be dry. before irrigation
started. After the water was turned
into the canal for the season and
irrigation got under way, the wells
would begin to fill. First one, then
another, for they were in line with
the direction in which the water was
moving here
