soon as plants are large enough.
With sufficient moisture tomato
suckers may be rooted and come
on in time to make fall tomatoes.
Cotton Insects:
Boil weevils are on the increase
in most Arrears of the county This
is due mostly to rains that we
have had in the past eight to
ten days. Cotton is growing ex-
ira large and it is going to be a
problem to control the insects
from now out. AS long as you can
use ground equipment without
damaging the stalk too severely
it would be wise to poison as
soon as weather permits in order
to keep weevils under control.
Farmers busting or spraying
with tractors should build tenders
and put on the tractors just in
front Of wheels to reduce the le
mage done in poisoning. You can
still poison with tractors cottor
that is shoulder high if you have
a good set of tenders in front of
front and back wheels. In apply
ing dust or spray raise your nez-
zles above the top of cotton if at
all possible even if you have to
construct a new frame to do the
job. Dust spouts dragging in the
cotton is poor way to control
boil weevils. Each spout should
be directly over the row blowing
straight down.

Cooper-Smith Fight
Causing More Talk
Than Any in Years
By Bill Fuchs

A new chapter in Washing

written tomorrow night when
Featherweights Jimmy Cooper

third time in a 10-round bout
at Griffith Stadium.
Holly Minis. Washington mid

Not since the night of the

talk about a fight. A crowd of
23,912 paid to see that heavy
weight title bout and was treated
to the rare sight of Louis sail

As Scrubs Turn Into

By Burton Hawkins
Sto, S,off Tnrr.srorlan1

DETROIT. July 20.-The Mats
losing streak finally has ended,
but Manager Bucky Harris
headaches haven't. His notori-
ously weak bench is putting on a
temporary display Of muscle, but
Bucky is far from confident
about the reserves ability to lift
the club.
From such dugout decorators
as Mel Hoderlein, Keith Thomas
and Mickey Grasso the Mats re-
ceived welcome hitting that
snapped their chain of defeat at
eight games yesterday when they
beat the Browns, 1874, in the
second game of a double -header
after st. Louis captured the
opener. 5-4.
Jerry Snyder, seeing action
only occasionally. has accumu-
lated eight hits in 13 tries and
thus is a .615 hitter. A micro
scope was required to read
Thomas batting average when
he came to the Mats from the
Athletics, but with Washington
he has been producing at a 400
clip.
Hoderlein, the forgotten man,
suddenly became a 1888 hitter for
the year by obtaining three of
the Mats 16 hits. Grasso, rele-
gated to second-string duty. also
Clipped in with three hits.
Must Decide on Lineup.
With an off-day to reflect on
the rare victory, Harris must de-
eide whether to string along with
those specimens or return to the
lineup that included Wayne Ter
williger, Clyde Vo]lmer, Ed Fitz-
Gerald and Pete Runnels, with
whom he suffered during the
losing streak.
The Mats open a three-game
series with the Tigers here to-
morrow. with Bob Porterfield
slated to try for an elusive 11th
win. The Mats then will move
to Cleveland for four games.
The Browns grabbed a ST. lead
against AL Sima in the opener as
Roy Sievers slammed a two-run
homer in the first inning and Les
Moss added a home run in the
fifth, but the Mats made a game
of it in the eighth after Thomas
batted for Sima and pumped his
first homer of the season into
the leftfield bleachers.
With one out, Snyder singled
and with two down Vollmer
rammed homer among the left
field patrons. That disposed of
Harry Brecneen, but along came
Satchel Paige to take care Of the
last four Mats in order.
Sievers also belted a two-run
homer in the first inning of the
second game. but the Mats
mauled Lou Kretlow and Bobo
Holloman for five runs in the
third inning with the aid of two
walks, Runnels' bounder over
Third Baseman Jim Dyck's head
for single, Jackie Jensen's hop
per over Dyck's head for a
double, plus more legitimate hits
by Mickey Vernon and Hoderlein.
Fourth Win for Stobbs.
Chuck Stobbs, who posted his
fourth win with an eight-hitter,
gave back a run in the third
when Johnny Groth doubled and
Sievers singled, but the Mats
stirred up six more runs for him
in the fourth inning against Hol-
loman and Bobby Cain. Three
walks, a hit batter. an error and
three singles were the ingredients
OF that uprising.
The Mats got two more runs in
