The Cardinals today pulled
their third trade in six days as
they snapped Outfielder Bill
Virdon to the Pirates for South
paw Dick Littlefield and Out
fielder Bobby Del Greco.
No cash was involved in the
transaction, which came on the
heels of a furry of trades and
reassignments as the major
league clubs got down to the Is
player limit before the deadline
at midnight last night.
Virdon, Is. won National
League rookie of the year honors
last season by batting .281 and
hitting Is homers. Used SPAR
ingly this year. he's averaging
.206. He figures to give the
Pirates sorely-needed lefthanded
power.
Littlefield, 30, was obtained
by the Pirates from Baltimore

Del Greco, 90. is up again from

Seventh Cardinal Traded
Virdon is the seventh player
disposed of in deals by General
Manager Frank Lane in less
than a week. Yesterday he sent
Shortstop Alex Grammas and
Outf1elder Joe Frazier to Gin

week he shipped Pitchers Harvey
Haddix, Stu Miller and Ben
Flowers to the Phillies for Pitch

he also purchased Infielder
Grady Hatton from the Red Sox.

Cuban MispIoys
Liner to Set Up
White Sox Win
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star Stan Correspondent

CLEVELAND. May 17.-Carlos
Paula eventually may provide
power, but the Senator'S Cuban
outfielder already has demon
strated that his fielding wasn't
polished in the rarified air of
Denver, where he was sent to
remedy such deficiencies.
Paula still resembles the same
uncertain, circling ball chaser
who departed the club last
month. He permitted a Bob Me
man liner to plop untouched at
his feet yesterday in the course
of 81 defeat by the White Sox
at Chicago.
Except for that inelegant
fielding, Hal Griggs might be a
publicized pitcher today. He was
the victim Of Paula'S indecision,
for Nieman's double led to two
runs. Thus Griggs dropped his
first major league start, the
White Sox shared their sixth
straight victory and the Senator's
suffered their third successive
loss.
While Nieman's blow was
scored as a double. any other
outfielder in the majors doubt
less would have blushed over
failing to come up with the drive.
Paula hesitated. took a step for
ward. Then played it timidly.
Griggs Has Lapse
That smack came with two
down and nobody aboard. Then
Griggs came apart at the seams
momentarily. He walked Ron
jackson and Luis Aparicio, fill
ing the bases. and Dick Dono-
van pumped a single to center,
scoring two.
Paula's contribution to the
Senators attack was a ninth
inning single which led to a
run. Jim Lemon doubled after
Roy Sievers flied out, and Karl
Olson hit a sacrifice fly. That
merely served to preserve the
Senators record of not having
been shut out this season, for
Lou Berberet sent a meek game
ending pop fly to Aparicio.

fielding had been respectable. led

Yankee Lead

The White Sox. who showed a
tendency to roll over and play
dead in their first series against
the Yankees, now have the mo-
mentum to cause the league lead
ers trouble for the next three
days.
Riding the crest of a 'Six-game
winning streak, the White Sox
today will try to win their first
decision of the season from the
YankS in the opener of a three
game set at Comiskey Park. The
SoX dropped a double shutout to
the Bombers in New York.
Whitley Ford $50 will hurl

moved back into first place yes

Harshman DID starts for the
White Sox, whose 81 triumph
over Washington left them 11a
games off the Yankee pace and
a half-game behind the runner
up Indians.
Martin Not Jittery
Manager Marty Marion of the
Sox awaited the Yankee test
with apparent nonchalance.
Were as ready as we'll ever
be-" he said. You have to beat
everybody in this league to reach
the top. So if you ask me if we
are doing anything special
against the Yankees. I'll say no.
However. Marion still is using
his Sunday pitching punch
against the Yankees. Billy
Pierce (4-D will hurl Friday
night and probably the revived
Bob Keegan (2-0) will pitch

I'm this streak of six games

Even Money Today
Today Needles was being
quoted at even money to win
the seth Preakness but there
was no guarantee that the price
might not sink as low as l to 2
when Saturdays predicted crowd
of $4,000 finally decides the
question.
Calumet's Citation, the last OF
eight Triple Crown wearers, paid
the lowest price in Preakness

Needles will not be that pro-

equal the third lowest return

PRONOUNCING GUIDE TO
THE HOLY CITY


The Richmond News Leader.
Any southerner knows that the
most maligned thing in the
world is the southern accent. To
the TV comedian from New
York, there is only one southern
accent, and it consists of pure
Saccharine: "Honeh chile, duz
you-awl wahn meant in you
awlz joolip?" This is how every
body in the South supposedly
talks, and from Richmond to
Houston all one has to do is to
talk like an almost dead auto
mobile battery and one will be
TO the manner born.
The facts are that there are
as many southern accents as
there are southern states. Not
only do southerners in different
states have different ways Of
speaking, but as every Virginian
and South Carolinian knows,
within the same states accents
are likely to vary widely.
Not even the drawl is common
to all southern accents. There
are southern dialects in which
the words are not waited slowly
into the air, but pronounced
rather quickly and melodiouSly
Anyone who ever has visited
Charleston, S. c. knows that the
drawls is simply not spoken
there. A Charleston accent is
unmistakablc, but it is not a
drawl. 1t is a kind of musical
sing-song affair, in which the
vowels achieve strange intona-
tons.

1857 Support Level to Be So
lie Quotas Approved July 20

in the soil bank program. Under the
law, when quotas are approved, the
support price cannot be lower than rs
per cent or higher than 80 per cent.
Prior to the referendum last year,
which was held June Is, Secretary Ben
son had announced that the support for
1856 would be near the minimum, or
76 per cent of parity With that level
of support in view, 81 per cent of Mon
tana voters approved the 1856 quotas.
The national vote in the SO major wheat
states was US per cent. A two-thirds
majority of those voting is needed for
approval.
In addition to the difference in levels
of support that will be at stake ($2 or
SO per cent versus $1.21 or so per cent?
in the referendum, there will also be
the issue of penalties on excess wheat.
If quotas are approved, wheat har-
vested from excess acres will be sub
ject to a marketing quota penalty of
as per cent of the May 1, 1857, parity
price If quotas are disapproved, there
will be no quota penalties for excess
wheat.
In either case, acreage allotments
will be in effect. Marketing quotas are
the only issue in the national referen-
dunn July 20.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-07-15

WHEAT SUPPORT at So a bushel
versus about $1.21 bushel for the
1857 marketing year will be the major
issue in the minds of most farmers
when they go to the polls July 20 to
vote in the national quota referendum.
Secretary of Agriculture Benson has
announced that if farmers approve
quotas for 1857 the support price will
be a national average of 50 bushel,
the same as now established for the
1856 marketing period. This is about
SO per cent of the present parity level
of $2.42.
Thus, if quotas are approved, farmers
who stay within their allotment will be
eligible for support on their 1857 crop
at So bushel, whereas, if quotas are
not approved, the support for cOopera-
tors will be only so per cent of parity
or about $1.21 bushel.
In announcing the So support prior
to the referendum, Secretary Benson
stated: I'm glad to see that factors
affecting the wheat situation made it
possible to hold price support higher
than the minimum indicated by legis-
lative provision"
Among these factors" he mentioned
are increased exports of wheat and
early signs of extensive participation

Ranger-a winter hardy, wilt resistant
variety that produces less than other

and stands thin out in four to five
years; Grimm-perfOrms similarly to

Cut Alfalfa Hay
In Early Bloom
By RAY ONION
R0ving Reporter

AS MUCH AS IS per cent of the
nutrient value of alfalfa hay will be
lost if it isn't harvested at the proper
stage of maturity, according to Dave
Kopland, dairyman at the Huntley Ex-
pertinent Station.
Speaking before a group of farmers
at the Huntley Hay Day held June IA,
Kopland said it takes four pounds of
grain to bring No. 8 alfalfa hay up to
the nutritional level of No l hay. For
a 2O-cow dairy herd this would amount
to an additional feeding cost of around
$1,000 a year, he said.
Kopland further emphasized the i'm
portance of harvesting alfalfa at the
