And yet the uniformly courteous, demo-

the destiny of the American League for a
few seasons not so long ago. The public
didn't know him, as Connie Mack and Clark

ably won a pennant for Detroit and lost one
for his own team, the Indians.
Remember the famous Cry Baby" re-

Oscar Wits third and final year as manager
of the Indians. With his ball players, Witt
was not an extremely popular figure. Some

Masters Berth Won.

WILMINGTON. N. c., April 8.
"A very unhappy man only a
week ago. little Jerry Barber was
worrying today about accom-
modations at Augusta, Ca,
where he VIII compete in the
Masters golf tournament, open
ing Thursday. He canned the
berth by winning the $4,000
Azalea Open here yesterday for
his first major victory.
A week ago the Illinois native,
who plays out of La Canada,
Calf. near Pasadena, was in
the dumps. He hadn't been able
to break 300 in the Greensboro
Open. The little man (5-feet-6,
140 pounds) had opened the
Greensboro tournament with q
fat 30. then showed his heart
with a second-round 50, only to
drop far out Of the money with
a TAFT the last day for 300.
The poor showing apparently
had cost Jerry a chance to
qualify for the last open Masters
position going to the unlimited
pro with the best years average.
But he came up with q four
under-par 68 yesterday to tack
on to earlier rounds of 71-65-72
for 276 and top money of $4,000.
Three Trail by Stroke.
+ His par-4 finish left him one

Their 277 totals meant $1,066. Sc

$6O6.66, came Bo Wininger, Okla

Niles, Ill. -
Tommy Bolt. on top through
three rounds. fell to a final 73
for 280 and tied with Lew Wor-

three strokes ahead of Ed
Gravely, Rocky Mount. N. c.
Barber. who will be 81 this
month, had won $2,635 this year
and was No. Is money winner
before his $4,000 pickup. Last
year he ranked 10Th with So, 8,9O6.
In 1851 he was 18th with $9, $3.50.
Unfortunate at Los Angeles.
Little Jerry often has come
close in other years, but some
thing always went wrong. Three
years ago he had a great round
washed out by rain the third day
of the Los Angeles Open. What
appeared to be a FIVE stroke lead
over the field went with the rain
and Jerry finished seventh. There
have been other heartaches for
this father of four children but
the pain was forgotten with the
victory here.
The par 3 10th hole saw Palm
er and Kroll take Is the last time
around, while Barber got his par
3 and added two more pars to
wrap it up.
With each winning the same
amount here, Mangrum held bis
lead over Middlecof in the years
money winning race. Mangrum
leads with slightly over $1,000
to $1,000 for Middlecoff. Bolt
held to third with $6,790.

New Year 'sDay Was Not Always On January 1

New Years was not always cele- brated on January 1. In fact, even today New Years comes on different dates for some peoples.
 Prior to September IA, 1752, England and her colonies regard ed January 1 with indifference be- cause New Years day was ob- served on March 25.
 Today, many people who con- tinue to use the Gregorian calendar still solemnize traditional feasts, including New Year, on different days. The Gregorian calendar was not presented to the world until 1882 by Pope Gregory XIII.
 The Jews observe 10-day New Year season at the time of the au- tumn equinox, beginning on Rosh Hashana and ends on Tom Kippur.
 The Moslem calendar (dating from 626, A. D. has 12 months of the year that begin with the ap- proximate new moon without any intercalation to keep them geared to the seasonal equinoxes. As a re- suit New Years and months re- trograde through the entire year in about 331a years.

Bowl Games Have Become American New Year Tradition

Bowl games have become a great American New Years tradi- tion.
 The fabulous Rose Bowl game started out as supplement to the Tournament of Roses when the first east-west game was played on January l, 1902. In that game the University of Michigan barn. stormed to 49 to 0 victory over Stanford.
 The success of the Rose Bowl classic has "mushroomed'' vari- ous bowl games from coas, to coast. Among the many. there are the Orange Bowl, the Sun Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, the Cater Bowl, Hawaii's Pineapple Bowl and even Alaska's Ice Bowl.
 But getting back to the Rose Bowl, after the first year a chariot race was substituted for the game in 1903. Originally run with anna teur drivers, the chariot races be- came professional affairs after the first few years and the public lost interest.
 The year 1916 brought return to collegiate football via contest in which Washington state defeat ed Brown university.
 The Rose Bowl has been going strong ever since.

ries, and peas.
Some chemicals are recommend
ed for extensive use, Others for
trial use only. Stevens explains
that where the chemical looks
promising so far, but hasn't been
tested in enough locations to just
ify its use, growers are advised to
spray only a small portion of their
acreage.
The recommendations are tailor
ed specifically to Delaware condi-
tions, says Stevens. They are bas-
ed on research done throughout
the state by e. M. Rain and c. W.
Hitz, of the University department
of horticulture. A few recon-
mendations are based on work
done in neighboring states with
similar conditions.

1858 Junior Tomato Club
Project Announced

The Junior Tomato Contest will
be sponsored again this year by
the state Ten-Ton Tomato Club
committee. C. Fred Fifer, Wyom-
Iing, chairman of the state commit
tee, announced the 1858 junior pro-
gram this week.
The contest is open to all Della
ware farm boys and girls between
the ages of 10 and 81. Those in
terested in the details may get
entry blanks and information from
vocational agriculture teachers
county All Club agents, or from
Robert F. Stevens, horticulture
specialist of the Delaware Agricul-
tural Extension Service. Entry
blanks must be failed to Stevens,
Box $50, Newark, before May IS.
To qualify, contestants must
grow at least one-half acre of to-
matoes, and must keep records OF
his project. The project will be
visited by a member of the Ten
Ton Tomato Club committee. Con-
test judges will be a five-man
group picked by the Tomato Club.
Judging will be based on complete
ness of records, yields per acre,
good growing practices, and quail
ity of product.
Every boy and girl wins, says
Fifer, because he learns how to
grow tomatoes well, and learns the
value of records and good manage
ment practices. The top winners
will receive material prizes, in the
form of gold wrist watch for first
prize, pen and pencil set for Sec
ond prize, and a leather wallet for
third prize. Each contestant will
receive certificate.
Last years winner, William
Haas, Middletown, produced 17.7
tons of tomatoes per acre. Louis
Palmatory, FELTON,, won second
with 10.1 tons per acre. Third
place winner was Fred Fifer, wy
oming. Thirty-six boys and girls
were in the program.

farm prices" says w. t. McAllis-
ter. marketing specialist of the
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service.
costs of operating a business
are passed backwards or forwards,
which ever way it is easiest. In
the poultry business, when poultry
is downgraded because of bruises,
the difference is included in the
spread between farm and whole
sale price. High and consistent
losses from bruised poultry affect
the farm price," says McAlhster.
"And Delaware's loss from bruis-
ed poultry is high. Between five
and IL million birds are seriously
damaged by bruising each year.
The losses from these bruises
amounts to about 5000 daily per
dressing plant"
Bruising is hard to eliminate en-
tirely, but it can be greatly re-
duced by using care in catching
and loading. Some suggestions
are: Remove loose equipment be-
fore drivinb birds into catching
pens; don't unnecessarily excite
