Collins appeared listless and

the fourth round.
Davis floored Collins twice

Manager Announces Retirement.
Collins retirement from the
ring was announced to newsmen
by his manager, Anthony rip"
Valenti.
I told Tommy after the Carter
fight that if he were ever beaten
by a featherweight he would be
through as a fighter" Valenti
said, and added:
Davis did it last night and !
told Tommy, you're all through.
Tommy appeared stunned for
q while and then looked me in
the eye and said, You're the
boss. If you say I'm all through,
that's it."
Heretofore cocky and over
flowing with confidence, Collins
appeared nervous and Subdued

CLEVELAND, June 26.-A
closely-grouped pack Of profess

Of the $4,000 Manakiki Open
golf tournament today, trying to
catch veteran Ellsworth Vines
and youngster Jackie Burke.
Vines, making his first tourna-
ment start since January. and

ers had almost half the field
breathing down their necks.
Vines Gets 8 Brides.
Vines, who has almost dropped
out Of tournament golf, racked
UP eight brides but went over
par on two holes. The 41-year-
old former National tennis cham
pion decided to make the tourna-
ment a tune-up match for the
PGA championship next week in
Birmingham, Mich. .
Burke, 30-year r-old former
Texan now playing out of
Kiamesha Lake. N. Y, came here
fresh from his $3.4O0 Inverness
Open victory last week and
bagged six brides, matching par
on all other holes.

Tied with 13 others at two

the pre-tourney favorite who is
playing with an injured hand.
Sam missed his chance for a
better score when he sprayed

hole. landing in the woods and
winding up with a two-over-par

amateurs for the 18 holes tomor-

The tournament, over the
rolling, well-trapped course, is
the first major meet here since
the National Open in 1916. It
serves as a stop-over on the
swing from the Inverness to the
PGA meet.

Handicaps helped to set up
some interesting matches in the
first round of match play in the
Columbia Country Club member
guest tournament this after
noon. particularly the one in
volving A. G. Dezendorf and
Ralph Bogart, the defending
champions and medalists.
In the championship fight at
Columbia this year, the low
handicapped member of each
foursome plays from scratch and
his handicap is deducted from
the others. Then full handicapS
are used.
Dezendorf and Bogart meet
Buddy Bowie, seven-time Co
lumbia champion. and Claude
Wild, who shot course record
64 in the Washington Invitation
two weeks ago. Bogart has q
one handicap, Wild three, Bowie
four and DeZendorf six.
Tough on Bogart.
That means Wild gets two
strokes and Bowie three, which
is a lot of strokes for Bogart to
give golfers of their ability. The
hope of the champions is that
Dezendorf can halve Wild and
Bowie or the stroke holes.
Bobby Brownell needed a 12-
footer on the 18th green to give
him and Dick Kreuzburg a tie
for the medal yesterday but the
putt for a 65 wouldn't drop.
However Brownell missed it on
the high, or PRO" side of the
cup. If the putt had dropped
Brownell and Kreuzburg would
have won the medal by matching
cards due to Kreuzburg'S birdie
on the fourth hole.
Sid Carroll and Bob Thomp-
son tied for the second low quail
flying score with their 66.

sidering handicap allowance is

pion playing with a four, and

GiardeIIo Is Favored
In " Fight Tonight
With Ernie Durando
BY the AssoerGted Press

NEW YORK. June 26.-Ernie
Durando, probably the hardest
puncher in the middleweight di-
vision, meets Joey Giardello, up
and-coming Philadelphia young
ster, tonight at Madison Square
Garden in the final show Of the
regular Friday night season.
The 10-round bout will be-car-
ried on network radio (ABC) and
television (NBC). Giardello, %,
is a 7-to-5 favorite.
(The fight will be seen in
Washington on WNBW, Chan
mel 4, and broadcast over
WMAL beginning at 10 p.m)
If the bout winds up in a rum
pus, it shouldn't surprise Bob
Christenberry, chairman of the
New York State Athletic Com
mission. Both boys were in
volved in Garden "rhubarbs" last
year.
GiardellO Controversy.
Giardello was mixed up in a
controversy after his Aght with
Billy Graham that finally re-
suited in a Supreme Court order
voiding Christenberry's reversed
decision.
Durando, 81, was the party of
the second part the night Referee
Ray Miller was Slugged in the
Garden ring by Tommy Ryan,
then manager of Rocky Castel-
lani. All Durando did was score
a TKO over Castellani.
The winner of this bout may
be a 1854 title challenger for the
winner of the Randy Turpin-
Bobo Olson bout that probably
will be held August q in New
York.
DurandO FlOOred Young.
No middleweight in the busi-
ness hits harder with the right
hand than Durando. ''The Rock"
from Bayonne, N. j., dropped
Paddy Young two or three times
during their f1ve-bout series.
Olson couldn't do that trick
In Is rounds
Giardellos most recent big"
win was a decision over welter-
weight Gil Turner at Philadel-
phia, April 7. A good left hooker
and right hand puncher, Giar-
dello has q confusing style. Those
who call him strictly a boxer
should have seen him in a rough
and-tumble brawl with joey Gil
ambra at Brooklyn last fall.
This is a rematch of Scranton

by Giardello in 10 rounds.

WHAT MAKES a rural church
outstanding?" Readers of Montana
Farmer Stockman can help answer
that question by participating in the
selection of the Rural Church of
the Year." an enterprise sponsored
jointly by this magazine, the Town
and Country Department of the Mon
tana Council of Churches and the
Catholic Life Movement of Montana.
Nominations can be made for any
church in the state serving a COM
munity of $500 or less.

Quoted along essentially the same
lines as the one held in 1851 which
was won by the St. Joan of Arc par
ish in Carter County and st. Paul
Lutheran Parish in Teton County.
Specific Community Service
Music activities, drama and pag-
eantry and better recreation are a
few of the ways in which the church
and its people can help develop the
C m m u ty. Cooperation with
schools,u clubs (such as All, Scouts,
etc. and various worthwhile groups
interested in a better world are indi-
cations of church with commu-
nifty interest.
Church Buildings and Equipment
Facilities do not constitute a
church, but it must be admitted that
without adequate buildings and
equipment a well balanced church
program is nearly impossible. Not
only should they be suitable to meet

the spiritual, educational. social, and
recreational needs, but appearance
is important.
Christian Education
One of the major points for judg-
ing the "Church of the Year" viii be
the program of Christian education.
The matter of leadership training
will be taken into consideration. Does
actual church school attendance COM
pare favorably with potential attend
ance? Is there an active youth
group? Do children and youth take
part in the life of the church? These
are few of the questions which will
be used to determine the adequacy
of the educational program.
How 10 Enter
1. You may nominate any Catholic
or Protestant church in Montana
serving a community of $500 or less.
2. Cut out the coupon and fill out
the blanks and mail as directed. All
entries must be in the mail not later
than Ju-le l, 1853.
3. You viii receive a score sheet
which you are to fill out and return
according to instructions accompany
ing it.
4. On the basis of the score sheets,
the judges viii select not more than
six churches for the finals, these
churches to be visited and personally
scored by the judges or their repre-
sentatives.
5 Final awards will be announced
by Montana Farmer Stockman in
October, 1858.

HOW TO PICK BEST nurse CROP

Montana farmers who wish to OBJ
tain better stands of grass and legumes
are advised to use care in selecting
nurse crop.
The ideal nurse crop, according to
DR.. w. w. Brookins, well known crops
expert, is one which offers just the
right amount of protection-not too lit
tie and not too much.
Flax is generally considered the best
choice because its small, narrow leaves
allow more sunlight to reach the new
seeding. An acre of Flax contains about
S12 million plants while oats will aver
age only 115 million, yet scientific tests
show Az times more light reaches grass
underseeded in Flax than in oats.
AS Flax natures, its leaves begin to
fall, gradually admitting more light to
the new seeding. By harvest time, the
tiny plants are accustomed to full SUM-
light and suffer little shock when Flax
is removed. On the other hand, tender,
spindling plants over-protected by
other crops, often suffer a severe set
back at harvest.
Twenty years of experiments in So.
Dakota showed that Flax sown at its
normal rate produced better stands of
alfalfa than either oats, barley, or
wheat sown at half the usual rate.
Brookins also points out that Flax
and grass prefer the same type of seed
bed-firm, well-packed. shallow, and
moist Both should be planted early and
at the same shallow depth.
How to make more money through
grassland farming is the subject of a
new booklet published by the Flax
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-03-01
Free Booklet on Gross

Development Committee. 1t includes
the latest information on how to obtain
better pastures and more hay per acre.
The Flax Development Committee, in

Flax is so often used to help start new
seedlings.

The program opened with the
singing of welcome, Sweet

This was followed by poems, cap
ril," recited by Rachel Perry, and
Spring Today" recited by Donald
Twiford. Charlotte Perry and Cor
inne Sanderlin played a duet, "a
Child's Dreamland," after which
short play, "Porch Box Neigh

TOMAHAWK WILL
OPEN ON MAY 1
FOR NEW SEASON
Parker Adds Row of ROOm-and-
Bath Units to Cottage Ac-
commodatiOns

Kill Devil Hills.-Among motor
court owners busy in preparation
for the May l opening are Mr.. and
Mrs. R. E. Parker, Jr., who oper-
ate the Tomahawk motel.
Since last season they have add
ed six rooms and private baths.
Last year, their first in the bust
ness, they had three apartments
of two bedrooms each.
The new units face the cottages
across wide concrete parking
space, at the end of which stands
the office and cottage occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Parker. All the
buildings are of concrete block
construction with fiat roofs. They
are painted white.
To give the whole unified ap-
pearance, the Parkers have con-
crete block wall extending on eth
er side, the rear of their home.
The Parkers have spent the Win
ter on the beach, as he is in the
contracting business and has been
occupied with construction for 9TH
er owners as we'll as for himself.
One of the improvements Mr..
Parker hopes to see on the beach
before too long is the opening OF
streets from the highway to the
beach. The street locations have
been reserved, but they have not
been improved. The time is not far
in the future, Mr.. Parker believes,
when the land side of the highway
will be so built up that the streets
will be needed for vacationists
staying on that side to reach the
beach, without trespassing on pri-
vate land. Besides that, the beach
draws many Sunday visitors, who
have no place to park their cars
and no entrance to the beach.
