Smith Needs Victory
Over Longo Tonight
For Shot al Sadd|er

Little Gene Smith Of Wash
ington is favored to beat Tony
Longo of Baltimore in tonight's
10-round bout at Turner's Arena
that will go q long way to de-
termining whether Smith gets a
chance to move upward among
the featherweightS.
Smith, who once had a string
of 81 straight victories. is among
the top contenders for Sandy
Saddler's 126-pound title. He
has to make a good showing
against the unranked Longo or
lose what chance he has Of get
ting a match against Saddler
soon.
SaddIer Bout Sought.
Promoter Vince Mcmahon
wants to use Smith as q main
event attraction in a Griffith
Stadium bout this summer, and
talks of bringing in Saddler for
q non-title bout. Saddler could
be booked if the price is right,
but Smiths power as q gate at
traction would he hurt II he
doesn't take care Of the Balti-
more youngster tonight.
Smiths last two bouts have
gone 10 rounds. although one
ended in the 10th on Knockout.
He will be aiming for something
shorter tonight in an attempt
to prove he has regained the
punching power that once nm
ished most. Of his bouts before
they were well under way.
Longo Less Experienced.
Longo, not as experienced as
Smith. is something Of a hitter
himself. He showed his wares
in Washington last year with a
one-round knockout over Bob
Wright of Camden. and last win

Washington in a bout at Bal

Try for Fifth Victory.

CLEVELAND, June 15.-Dean
Stone. less than a month ago
an unheralded rookie still in
pursuit of his first major league
victory. tonight will attempt to
become the big leagues top
pitcher. if a point may be
stretched, when he bids for a
fifth straight win at the expense
Of the high-1lying Indians.
Stone and Tom Morgan Of the
Yankees are the only major
league pitchers who have won
as many as four games and lost
none. There are q flock Of
pitchers who have won more
games. Of course. but they can't
claim clear records.
The 6-foot-4 lefthander. who,
has won three starts since beat
ing the Athletics in relief for
his first major win May %. had
a mediocre $40 record with
Chattanooga last season. He
has been a mild sensation with
Washington despite an inclina-
ton to weaken in the late in
ningS.
Must Learn to Pace Himself.
Stone hasn't geared himself
for the distance yet. but .
steady diet Of starting assign
ments could correct that def
cheney. HE hasn't learned to
pace himself yet." Manager
Bucky Harris said. "but that
should come with more expert
ence."
In his last start, against the
Indians. Dean possessed o Ave-
hitter for seven innings. then
gave up three runs in the eighth.
In a previous start he held De-
troit to two hits for six innings,
then faltered a bit to yield two
runs in the seventh. In his
debut as a starter this year he
restricted the AS to two hits for
six innings, then was nicked for
a run in the seventh and four
more in the eighth.
Despite that tendency to wilt.
Stone has won them all. His
appearance on the mound au-
tomatically has toned up the
Senator'S offense. In his three
starts he has been provided with
q runs.
The Senators get a break in
that the league leaders used their
foremost pitchers-Early Wynn.
Mike Garcia and Bob Lemon
against the Red Sox Sunday and
yesterday. Thus Washington is
likely to view only one of them
in this three-game series which
opens a 19-game road trip for
the Senators.
Teller to Follow HOutteman.
Art Houtteman will pitch for
the Indians tonight. with Bob
Teller expected to be Manager
AL Lopez's choice for tomorrow
nights game. The clubs will wind
up the series with a day game
Thursday.
Johnny Pesky. veteran infieldet
obtained from Detroit Sunday,
will make his debut with the
Senators at second base tonight,
replacing Wayne Terwilnger.
Pesky has promised Harris hen
report here in time to play. {.
Only two games out Of fourth
place. the Senators are hoping
for more success than on their
last Western jaunt. when they
won three Of nine games. The
Indians contributed to that agon.

Bulbs-TuIips Go In Later

Bulb planting time is here and
If we win only have a good rain
gardeners can get on with this
most important fall job. Planting
tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and
all of the other early spring.
Towering bulbs is one job that
we all look forward to. 1t is so
easy to buy the nice fat bulbs
and tuck them into the garden
knowing that next spring they
will put on real display of
bloom.
Note, however, that tulips are
one Of the last Of the spring.
Towering bulbs to be planted in
the late fall. Early fall planting
should be avoided since the foli-
age often will appear above the
ground before cold weather and
will be disfigured by winter winds
and frost. Planting late as mid
December in Washington does
not reduce the size of bloom or
the length of stem. All other
bulbs, except the Dutch iris
should be planted as early as
the ground can be made ready.

appeal to many.
Guord Against Topping

Removing the tops of peren-
malls and putting the flower bor-
der in a 'spick-and-span' con-
dition is not as desirable as it
seems. The Withered tops and
leaves act as mulch, shading
the soil and reducing the danger
from "heaving." Even though
the foliage may harbor insects
and diseases, it is best left in
place until early spring, that is
unless the gardener is preparing
to supply other materials for
mulching.

chore, the boxes may be left on
the ground until just before

Gore Of Connos After Frost
Now that frost has blackened
the tops Of the cannas. cut them
off about 6 inches above the
rhizomes. Allow to mature in the
soil for several days. Then dig,
dry in the sun for q few days
and clean. II it should be neces-
sary to wash the rhizomes to re-
move the soil they will need to
be carefully dried before stor-
ing. The polyethylene plastic
freezer bags offer the best win
ter storage yet available since
the rhizomes do not dry out. Dry
rot has been the worst enemy of
Gamma roots during the winter.
Now. in a safe package they
need only to be stored in a very
cool but frost free place until
planting time next spring.
Trees for Spring Planting
Fall is considered as the ideal
time for setting out deciduous
trees and shrubs, but there are
those that are best transplanted
in the spring. Include these in
the spring planting: Red maple,
sugar maple, dogwood, birch,
beech, elm, linden, magnolia,
poplar, sweetgum and tulip-tree.
Undoubtedly some have been
successfully planted in the fall,
but the chances of loss are too
great to warrant taking unneces-
sary risks. Get the planting holes
ready and place the order for
delivery about March Is.
