Dogs Thin Skull
Can Be Harmed by
Too-Viqorous Pats
By Peter Booos

Many people seem to have the
idea that dogs enjoy having their
skulls Jared by affectionately
vehement pats.
| It is keen annoyance to the
dog. If you are a stranger and
do this. he is likely to bite you,
and thus get a name for being
vicious. BY all means. stroke
or pet your dogs head now and
then if you want to. But pet;
don't pat. Stroke; don't swat.
If your nose we're pulled and
your ears roughly rumpled, 1t
probably would lead to a fight.
Yet people blame a dog-whose
nose and ears are far more
sensitive than are yours and
mine-if he shows his dislike of
this treatment by going for his
tormentor.
If you stop to think it over,
you will realize that the average
dog is a great deal more patient
and forebearing than is the aver
age human.
\ X X
More than is million men
and women are supported by
industries and activities con-
nected with dogs. A dogless
world could mean stark disaster
to all these persons.
The figures may seem to you
at first glance as a bit steep.
But they are not. Consider the
dog show industry, the employees
Of the many hundred kennels,
the thousands of workers In
factories and mills whose sole
industry Is the manufacture and
distribution Of dog foods. Con-
slider the farmers whose entire
product is bought for such food.

Several good showers are
needed to build up the soil
moisture supply. The warm
weather and strong winds tend
to put a heavy drain upon the
root systems and plants cannot
withstand them unless there is
ample moisture. It is certainly
unseasonal to have to start wa
tering in April, but many gar
deners have.

Zinnios and MorieoIds

Start Zinnia and marigold seed
in the coldframe or hotbed. If
not available. it may be worth
while to try them indoors. There
are a great many varieties to
choose from but don't overlook
the colorful dwarf French mari
colds. Some of the lower growing,
medium sized flowers of the zin-
MAS make good mass color ef-
fects as well as provide a gen.
erous supply of cutf1owers. Start
the seed in sphagnum moss or
vermiculite to avoid trouble with
the "damping-off" disease of
seedlings.

Chickweed is plentiful in gar

CHICAGO Up - Two-platoon OF
one-platoon, the College All-Stars
are helpless prey of the roaring
Detroit Lions, two-time champions
of the National Football League.
1t was indeed an unlucky Friday
the 18th for the collegians before

last night as they took a 31-S claw.
ing from the ruthless Lions.
The efficient pros from the
Motor City had been forced to
play the limited substitution rule
and junk their two-platoon system
just for this acknowledgement
contest.
Last year, with free substitution
prevailing, the Lions whipped the
All-Stars, 24-10.
With their stellar passing quar-.
terback, Bobby Layne, riding the
bench all the way, the Lions
pounced on the inept collegians for
II points in the first quarter and
then won as they pleased.
No. 2 Lion quarterback Tom
Dublinski, directing only "a other
pros used by Detroit Coach Buddy
Parker, called his shots with def
skill and had the backing of a
bristling defense that hamstrung
the outclassed All-Stars.
When the All-Stars scored their
only touchdown in the third period
on a five-yard end run by Notre
Danes Johnny Lattner-it was
only because a Lion tumble on
Detroit's five-yard line offered the
opportunity.
In contrast with long, quick aeri.
al scoring strikes which typify pro
play, the Lions crunched the ALI.
Stars with smashing ground at
tack, three touchdowns coming on
short plunges. The Lions IA first
downs by rushing broke the games
pro record of IL by the Chicago
Bears in 1912.
After a tumble by Lattner set
up 36-yard field goal by another
ex-Notre Dame star, Jim Martin,
to start the Lion scoring, Doak
Walker crashed five yards to a
touchdown and Lew Carpenter
bolted two yards for another to
give Detroit its ITO first period
lead.
Lattner's touchdown shaving the
Lion lead to 17-6 only prompted
another slashing pro drive, cover
ing 81 yards and ending with Car
penter's second touchdown, a one
yard blast, also in the third period.
The final Lion score in the fourth
quarter brought further humilia-
ton to An-Star Coach Jim Tatum
Of Maryland as end Jim Doran

Neil Worden and romped IS yards
to score.
Tatum used IS of his All-Stars,
but the theory of fresh players
taking the steam out of the Lions
under the one-platoon system just
didn't work.
Heralded quarterback Zeke Brat
owski of Georgia, property Of the
Chicago Bears, threw IA passes
and completed eight. The Al-Star
running attack was paced by
lightly-toute Veryl Switzer of Kan
sas State, who carried six times
for "a yards. Switzer's 27-yard run
from deep in his own territory in
the second quarter provided the
only collegiate offensive thrill. On
defense, end Carlton Massey Of
Texas was the outstanding All-Star.
The All-Stars in their dressing
room thought the outcome might
have been different if Lattner had
not fumbled on the games opening
Scrimmage play.
However Lion Coach Parker
probably sized up the whole game
correctly with the comment:
''The All-Star coaches got all
they could out Of those boys, but
it just wasn't enough. They just
weren't a good team. They were
dead"
Parker also said the one-platoon
system hurt the All-Stars more
than it did the Lions. Il certainly
seemed that way, with the ALI
Stars outrushed, $50 yards to 81,
and outpassed Ill yards to 81.
The game which marked the
fourth straight pro triumph and
18th victory against six defeats and
two ties brought gross receipts of
$445,65O, including Tv and radio
fees.
The games most serious casual
ty was halfback Chef Hanulak of
Maryland, property of the Cleve-
land Browns, who suffered frac.

Dodgers Whip
Giants, FeILer
Wins 259th Tilt
BY BEN PHLEcAR

Milwaukee's wild dash for the
pennant has stolen much of the
thunder from the current battle for
first place between the New York
Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers.
By now the Braves have con-
WINGED the two top clubs that they
are serious about this pennant bus
mess and the current three-game
series in Brooklyn between the
Giants and Dodgers finds both
clubs looking over their shoulders
for the onrushing Redskins.
They don't have far to look since
the Braves closed to within 511
games of the top last night with a
SO triumph over Chicago after the
Dodgers had whipped the Giants
80.
Milwaukee came back from a
sensational road trip and staged a
dramatic homecoming for an en-
thusiastic gathering of 1880 we'll
wishers. Trailing through seven in
nings, they tied the score at 2-2 in
the eighth, then triumphed on Del
Crandalls three-run homer with
one out in the ninth.
The victory was the 18th in 20
games for the Braves who have
made up 10 games on the front
running Giants in a month. Six
weeks remain in the season.
The Brooklyn contest was a
spine-tingler too, decided on a two
run homer by Carl FurilIo in the
seventh inning. Sal Maglie and
Carl Erskine allowed a hit apiece
through the first five innings.
Brooklyn broke into the scoring
column first, getting one run on
pair of singles and a sacrifice fly
in the sixth.
The Giants came back with two
in the seventh on doubles by Don
Mueller and Monte Irwin sand
wiched around a single by Willie
Mays. With a one run lead Man.

hitter for the firing Maglie and
sent his No. 1 relief ace, Mary
Grissom to the hill in the eighth.
Gil Hodges greeted him with a sin
gle. Furillo followed with the
game-winning homer.
Cleveland held its 21a game edge
over the New York Yankees with
a 81 verdict over Baltimore. New
York whipped Boston 80. Chicago
shaded Detroit 10 in a brilliant
16-inning pitching duel between
Jack Harshman and AL Aber. Phil
adelphia edged Washington 80.
In other National League action
Pittsburgh thumped Philadelphia
twice, S-5 and so and st. Louis
overpowered Cincinnati 1913, scor-

Aber and Harshman went all the

allowing nine hits. Harsh m a n
