the cup back, we said, your guess
is just as good as the next mans.
What it amounts to is that the
Aussies have two pretty good ten
mis- players in Ken Rosewall and
Lewis Hoad and we also have a
pair of similar caliber in Trabert
and Vic Seixas. ALI four of them
are rank in-and-outers, as their
records show, and to try to pre-
dict what any one of them win do
in the final showdown would be a
waste of time.
The Aussie youngsters kept the
cup last year because they were
able to trim Seixas in both his
singles matches and because Hoad
proved just a little better than
Trabert in a thrilling decider. We
won the doubles. It could go that
way again as easy as not, but

Major League
Meetings End;
Talks Continue
BY JOE REIcHLER

NEW YORK R-The annual ma
jor league meetings are ended but
that trading man Frank Lane was
still in town today-which means
there may still be some more play
er deals.
In fact the energetic Chicago
White Sox general manager has
a couple of near-swaps up his
sleeve-ready to pull off at the
drop of a name-like Finigan or
Portocarrero.
Cleveland's Hank Greenberg
Cincinnati's Gabe Paul Philadel-
phia's Roy Hamey and st. Louis
Dick Meyer also stayed behind aft
er the meetings ended.
Following is list of possible
deals that have advanced past the
plain feeling OUT stage and may
be consummated within the next
few days or few weeks.
/. The Brooklyn Cincinnati five
player swap involving outfielder
Wally Post pitcher Fred Baczew-
ski and Hobie Landrith of the Reds
and second baSeman Junior Gil
liam and pitcher Bob Milliken of
the Dodgers is not dead although
it has cooled off considerably.
2. The White Sox rebuffed n
their efforts to snag third base
man Jim Finigan and pitcher Ar
ME Portocarrer0 from Kansas
City are prepared to renew their
bid with better and bigger propo-
sition.
3. Lane also has been closeted
with General Manager Greenberg
of the Indians and may soon an
nounce a trade that would send
outfielder Dale Mitchell 50 Chicago
for catcher Carl Sawatski and a
utility infielder.
a. The Cards and Reds unable
to come to an agreement after a
four-hour session yesterday may
yet swing a deal that could be
bigger than the original one that
would have exchanged a st. Louis
infielder for relief pitcher Frank
Smith of the Reds.
The Dodger-Reds deal didn't
come off as expected. E. ]. (Buz-
zie) Bavasi Dodger vice president
said he called it off.
"The more / thought of it, he
said 'the less ! liked it." Walter
(manager Alston) wanted to make
it but / feel I would be giving up
too much. Sure, / would like to
have Post in left field but / de-
cided / would be better off with
Gillian who can play left field
as well as second base. The deal
is off but we may be able to DO
something yet"
The last-minute reversal left
Manager Birdie Tebbetts of the
Reds somewhat bitter.
'If Bavasi still wants to deal il
win have to be without Post. /
plan to keep him. Tebbetts said.
Lane busiest of the traders
found resistance in his bid to Kan.
sas City for Finigan and Porto
carrero. The curley-haired dyna.
mo figured in two deals Monday
that involved 13 players.
Payke Carroll business manager

holding stiff drills nightly
in preparation for their op-
ener Friday against a rangy
Coral Gables quintet.
Coach Win Jones, with
just two returning lettermen

Fridays duel will open gruell-
ing II game schedule and be their

Tuesday when they battle South

And this is the year the Conchs
will be threat for the Class AA
state championship.
The Conchs win be battling Fri
day to aVenge five point defeat
at the hands of the Cavaliers last
year. The Conchs had held a lead
throughout the game, and then
saw it sliced in the waning mo-
ments of the contest.
The Gables, Big Ten competitors,
are going through building year
and this may be the time for the
Conchs to come through with
victory. They nearly walloped the
state champion Miami high cage-s
in last years opener.

lated by three rangy lads, the
smallest scaling something like 6

year and a boy who is being her.
aided this year for Miami ALI :
City honors. A pair of schoolboys
giants, forwards Bob Claust, o. S,
and Mike Stoik, 6 : 4, make up the
balance fthe Cavaliers forward
attack.
AT the guards Gables had a cou-
pie of smaller boys, but both of
them are crack shots. They are
Johnny Sm0ot, 5 10 and Benny
Klein, SIS. The latter performer, a
transfer from Miami Beach, has
reputation for being crack shot
from ,the outside.
Conch mentor Jones, meanwhile,
has yet to name a definite starting
lineup. Only sure starters are 6
foot 3 inch John Carbonell at CEN
ter and guard Julio Henriquez, 81
IL. These boys are the only re-
turning regulars.
Gene Favors, who saw limited
action with last years varsity, will
be at one of the forward slots while
Bill Haney, 81, a probably starter
at the other.
The balance of the starting line
up will be selected from group of
three boys including Red Stickney,
Stu Yates, and Julio Santana.
In an unprecedented display of
optimism today, Coach Jones aver
red as how his boys have chance
of whipping the Cavaliers come
Friday.
II think we've got a chance -
we're green but so are they. Out
side of little height, I don't think
they have any real advantage over
u.s." said Jones.
Foul shooting, Jones said, is get
ting lot of emphasis in drill ses-
sions because of a drastic foul rule
change. The new rule provides
that the shooter gets a second shot,
If he makes his first try. Last
years rule was just the opposite
- if the shooter missed, he got
second try.
with the new rule, the team
that can make foul shots can win
- we're shooting a couple of hun
dred every day." said Jones.

This is one Of the most useful insecticides to the vegetable grower
and the home gardener for til safe to use on crops soon to be har-
vested and does not injure the tender plants. Like pyrethrum It is
practically nontoxic to warm blooded animals. Rotenone has a
double action against insects: It is a stomach poison to many leaf
as aphids. It also poisons fish, frogs and toads. It is available as water
soluble extracts; dusts and wettable powders. 1t is not compatible
with lime, copper-lme dusts or bordeaux mixture.
NICOTINE SULFATE is another insecticide Of plant origin, be.
ing prepared from tobacco. Nicotine dust made from ground tobacco
leaves is used, but the most common form is the commercial prepare
ton known as nicotine sulate flor example: "Black Leaf 40" a 4O%
solution su1fate is poisonous to warm blooded animals. However, it
has no residual action { the insects must be hit with the spray) and
can be safely used on plants that are soon to be harvested and the
sprayed parts eaten. Its main use is in the combat of soft bodied in
secs such as aphids and it can be combined with such stomach poi
sons as lead arsenate and calcium arsenate and the fungicide bor-
ldeux mixture.
ARSENIC INSECTICIDES: White arsenic FUSED against some
kinds Of termites), calcium arsenate, lead arsenate 1.-TWO knds), and
Paris green These are used as stomach poisons for chewing insects,
especially on leaves of fruit plants, like tomatoes or egg plant. They
are cheap and effective, but very dangerous if misused, since they
remain poisonous forever. They not only stay poisonous in the bag
or pan where they are stored, but also in the ground. If used year
after year in the same field, enough may accumulate to even poison
plants we try to grow therel However, If care is used, and any fruits
that may be contaminated are well washed before being eaten, or
sold. the arsenic compounds are very useful.
Several articles prepared at the Agricultural Station on the con-
troll of certain insects have been published in local newspapers. In
secicides to be used for control of these particular insects are sug-
gested, in addition to method Of preparation, application and stor-
age. The farmer who follows these directions carefully can feel rea-
sonably assured that he is using these materials in a safe way.
However, there are many other insecticides obtanable CONNER

USE INSECTICIDES CAREFULLY"

ONE of the practices advocated by the U. S. Department Of
Agriculture, especially through its local agricultural agents, is the
use of chemical sprays and duTs in controlling various insect pests
of fruits and vegetables.
CHEMICALS used for this purpose such as DOT, Chlordane
Pyrethrum, Rotenone, Nicotine Sulfate and Lead Arsenate have al
farmers are using these materials as a protection against the des-
tructionr of their crops by insects. However, the farmer who is not
familiar with the various insecticides and their methods of applica-l
ton can cause much harm to himself and to others. Practically all
insecticides are of a poisonous or toxic nature, and some are more
poisonous than others. If large enough amounts of these chemicals
enter the body from eating them, breathing them, or even from get
ting them on the skin, some of them can cause varying degrees Of
harm or even death. For these reasons it is important that the farm
er learn all he can about each new insectcide before using it and
that he handle, store, and apply all insecticides carefully.
DOT and chlordane are the best known synthetic organic intec
ticides and are effective against a wide range Of insects. They can
be used on most vegetables safely though they may injure squash
cucumber, lemon and some varieties of lima beans. and DOT some
times injuries tomato. They are particularly effective against leaf
hoppers and thrips but not against most species of aphids. They can
be combined with all the ordinary insecticides and fungcides used
in the garden except those containing large amounts Of lime. DOT
and chlordane are poisons and should not be used on parts of plants
that are going to be eaten unless the poison resdues can and will
be removed by washing, stripping off the outer leaves las in cab
bage) or other methods They. are available commercially in the
form of dusts, wettable powders and concentrated emulsions which
in the control of insects as explained on the labels. Generally speak
ing, chlordane dust is best for ground insects like grubs and ants
while DOT in the wettable powder form is the most useful to the
home gardener for direct application to the foliage.
PYRETHRUM is made from the ground flowers Of certain spe-
leies of the chrysanthemumL Uuike chlordane and DDF5 it does not
leave a poisonous residue when used, so the insect must be hit with
it to be killed. 1t is safe, being practically non-toxc to warm
loodcd an nas, so can be safely used on plants which are soon to
be eaten. However, it is somewhat more costly than most other in
secticides and for that reason is now seldom used except for special
purposes.
