BOSTON, Feb. 5 R.-FoI
the first time since 1850, nc

Nobody even came close to
induction into the Hall of
Fame at Cooperstown, N. Y.
With 266 ballots cast by 10
year members Of the associa-
ton. 199 votes was the mini
mum for election.
Max Carey, q base-stealing
star for Pittsburgh and Brook
lyn from 1910 through 1929,
topped the list with 1876 votes.
He was followed by Edd Roush,
former outfielder for the
Giants and Cincinnati who
polled 112 votes. A total of las
players from a list of almost
400 eligibles received at least
one vote.
The writer's vote every other

CrOnin, Greenberg Last
In the last balloting in 1856,
Hank Greenberg and Joe Cron-
in were elected. At that time
only las votes were necessary.
In alternate years, a special
committee elects old-timers

thy, a former manager. and
Sam Crawford. old Detroit out
fielder. were named by the

Alfalfa Seeding
Time Is Nearing

Research at University of
Delaware farms has shown that
alfalfa hay can be produced for
$40 less per ton than other
hays, according to William H.
Mitchell, extension agronomist
with the school of agriculture.
Mitchell says this is partly
because alfalfa can be cut three
or four times season which
means more high quality hay
that has not been rained on.
in general" he said, alfalfa
will produce better quality
and cheaper hay"
The time for fall seeding of
alfalfa is August Is to Septem-
Der l. Mitchell recommends
having your fields tested for
lime before seeding. Many fields
will need IL tons of ground
limestone.
Plow the ground you plan to
seed as soon as possible to al
low the soil to settle into a firm
seedbed.
The fertilizer applications
should be 800 pounds of 5l5-l5
applied at seeding time and 400
pounds of 0-l5-30 plus boraX
should be applied in the spring
or in two applications, half in
the spring and after the first
cutting is taken off.
The seed mixture can be
straight alfalfa, in which case
20 to rs pounds of Williams
burg or DuPuits should be seed
ed per acre.
If you liufe a mixture, either
of the above varieties seeded

Delaware exported commodities
valued at $2,Sl4,000 to Japan,

another million dollars in Del

A wide variety of other Della

synthetic fibers to inedible oils,
comprised the remainder of the

Fike, Porter Halt
CedarvilIe AS BIC
Wins DOubleheader

Tight pitching by freshmen Paul
Fike and Harvey Porter completely
subdued Cedarville last Thursday af-
terroon as the Bluffton Beavers
climbed back to the 500 mark by
sweeping a twin bill 60, 80.
Fike threw a sleek five-hitter in
the first game as the Beavers built
up so lead in the first four innings.
Chet Foraker did all the necessary
work as he hit long home run with
the bases empty in the second inning.
The hard-throwing Fike struck out
seven men. He had good support
from the Beavers, who committed
only two errors all day. Centerfielder
Carl Erwin saved him considerable
trouble with long running catch to
rob the Cedars of a duplication of the
Foraker clout.
Two runs in the first and one in
the second set up the win for Porter
in the second game of the double bill.
A double by Abe Mast and singles
by Milt Lee and Bud Snyder pushed
BC off to quick advantage before the
hosts came back with a run in their
half of the inning.
Bluffton picked up the winning run
in the first half of the second inning
and then held off Cedarille until the
last of the sixth when they picked up
their last tally.
Porter gave up only six hits and
struck out seven as he posted his Sec
ond win of the season.
Bluffton now stands Az in the Mid
Ohio conference and "A for the entire
season.

prised his friends and his opponents
Monday afternoon as he lashed out
three triples to lead the Bluffton Pr
rates to a 1876 victory over Pandora
Gilboa.
Ziessler tripled to drive in two runs
in the first inning and then duplicated
this shot in the fourth. In the sixth
inning he fired off a third three-bag-
ger but was out at the plate as he
attempted to stretch this into home
run. In between times he also was
safe at first when the second base
man fumbled his hard grounder ir
the third inning.
Bluffton hoped on Rocket starter
Dave Burkholder for four runs in the
first inning, added two in the second
and then improved their position with
four more in the fourth and two ir
the fifth.
Bluffton batters fired away with al
their might as Kenny Logan, Oof
Deerhake and Ziessler all collected
three hits and pitcher Mike .Diller
Ramon Lewis, George Burkholder
Bob Logan, Larry Mumma and Dave
Bash each added one.

ment building on Twenty

spotted the fire on the fifth
floor of the structure about
2::30 o'clock. Firemen raced
to the scene. but had to
run up the aerial ladders
at the incomplete struc-
ture.
Firemen said the fire
was confined to scrap lum-
ber used in the construc-
ton work. But what puz-
zles them is what started
it. There was nobody
around, they said, and
there is no electrical wir-
ing in the vicinity.

ried a lighted cigarette up
there, but what was a bird
doing flying around there
