The Gardena Parkettes from
Gardena, California, will engage
the red-hot PBSW Rambler team
Saturday and Sunday nights at
Rambler Field, 37OO East Washing
ton Street, Phoenix.
After opening the season with
four sharp wins over the Loe An
geles Ebonettes, the Ramblers
swept a three-game home series
from the World Champion Fresno
Rockets and followed with addi-
tional proof of team strength by
sweeping a tWo-game series from
the strong Orange Lionettes in
Orange, California, over the past
week end.
The Millionaire Kids are headed
by Teddy Hamilton, a 15-year vet
eran pitcher who pitched several
seasons in Arizona, had highly
successful professional career in
the Chicago pro league and in ad
dition to being the star pitcher last
year for strong Top Hat aggrega-
ton. She has pitched for several of
HollyWoOd's better teams as Phoe-
nix fans will remember Miss Ham
ilton is a SiX-footer; her bag of
tricks include rise bells, curves,
change of pace and binding speed.
The PBSW Ramblers pitching is
handled by Marjorie Lew, Anita
Byrd, Billie Harris, and Marie
Bishop with Mrs. Law being used
most frequently. Her best perform
ance to date has been three-hit-
ter against Orange the past Satur-
day night and two capable wins
over the Fresno Rockets in their
series.
The Ramblers have the best bal
anced team since their World

Grass Clippings
Help Build Soil

Putting money in the bank can
build up your savings account. And,
leaving grass clippings on your
lawn not only builds up the soil,
but saves moisture, too.
Now your lawn often this sum-
mer, advises Harvey Tate, extern
sion horticulturist at the Univer-
versity Of Arizona. This keeps the
clippings from getting too long.
Then they settle down through the
grass to the soil more quickly,
making your lawn less unSightly.
Don't let the clippings pile up on
top of the lawn. This will scald the
growing grass.
Use clippings as mulch around
your flower or vegetable garden
if your lawn is thickly sodded. By
working the clippings into the top
layer of soil you build up organic
matter in the soil. But, be sure the
clippings don't contain dandelions
or any type of weed seeds.
To get the most out of grass clip
pings, compost them before using
in your garden. Add a little barn
yard manure to the clippings, pile
them up, and wet the pile down
with the hose. Then let the clip
pings stand for about 80 days
This produces enough heat to kill
any weed seeds and begins to break
the clippings down SO the soil can
use them faster. Composted grass
clippings don't mat on top of the
soil like fresh clippings do. This
increases water penetration and
aeratiOn of your garden soil.

Traffic Volume
Map Is Available

The new annual 24-hour traffic
volume map for 1854 has been
completed by the city division of
traffic engineering. 1t is avail
able at nominal cost for general
distribution to those interested in
the average traffic volumes on the
major arterial streets in the city.
Improvements have been made to
the map which furnishes a better
view of traffic volumes on these
arterials. In addition to being of
value to retail, wholesale and real
estate interests, it is used as a
guide by the division in making
traffic engineering improvements.
The volume counts are also of as
sstance to the planning, engineer
ing and enforcement agencies of
the city.
