CHICAGO, May IA tAP).-
The Cubs yesterday signed
Pitcher Bob Porterheld, "a, who
was released last week by the

To make room for Porterfleld

taking a more serious approach

Tabled as Character
Griggs previously has been
identified principally as a char
acter. A former bellhop at the
Hotel New Yorker in Miami
Beach, Hal once considered q
career as a fighter until he wa;

sparring sessions.
Hal was married on the pitch

where he lost 16 straight games
in 1850. He said he pitched
every other night with thai
team, in addition to driving thu
bus that transported the clut
from town to town.
He owned a beer tavern with
Bob Allison when both wert

Much Of his erratic pitching
behavior has been eliminated
by discarding a knuckler which

Q-6, who gave UP six hits,
brought SPAIN home a winner
at st. Louis. The Cards were

Hank Aaron, who has an 18-

Pirates Drop Dodgers
Dick Stuart's two-run homer
brought the Pirates from be-

Demeter's solo home run had
given the Dodgers a 4-3 edge
in the sixth against Ron Kline,
but Believer Roy Face $50

winning string now alive in the

in that span.

Schweitzer Talk
Heard At College

DR.. George Seaver, chairman
of the n wide Albert
Schweitzer Essay Competition,
member of the Royal Academy
of Ireland, and biographer of
Schweitzer, will be next assem-
bly, speaker at Washington Col
lege.
DR.. Seaver, a native of Chel-
tenham, England, is presenting
a series of lectures on Schweitz-
er under the sponsorship of the
Albert Schweitzer Education
Foundation, whose purpose is to
bring the noted scholars ideas
to the attention of as many
people as possible. Seaver de-
livered his lecture at the college
at 1920 am, Wednesday, No
vember 9, in Smith auditorium.
The Schweitzer Essay COM
petition, open to college stud
ents, graduate students, secon-
dairy school pupils, laymen, cler-
gymen and college professors,
has as its purpose the encour-
agement of individuals to read
Schweitzer's writings, "to study
I the wholeness of his concept of
Reverence for Life, and to eval-
uate his synthesis in relation
to the personal PHILOSOPHERS of
these people and to the world
crisis"
More than $2,O5O in cash
prizes is being offered for the
best essays by contestants. An
international committee headed
by DR.. Seaver will judge the
essays. The judges will give
clarity and accuracy in present
ing ideas more consideration
! than literary style. Registra-
tions, stating name, address, and
classification of essay, must

With winter coming on, and
the back garden becoming rath-I
er bare, this is a good time to
think about collecting house
plants, says Robert Stevens,
horticultural specialist, Agricul-
tural Extension Service, Univer-
sity of Delaware.
House plants are best chosen
to suit your living conditions,
Mr.. Stevens suggests. For the
apartment d w el Ter, succulent
plants and cacti are best as they
only need reasonable care, and
can survive in a dry atmosphere
with little light. Crassula Uade
plant), Peperomia, Cedums or
Sanseveria Snake Plant are all
good choices for the apartment.
They can be put directly in a
planter and placed effectively
on a coffee table or perhaps the
top of a TV set.
For the home or room which
lacks light, the foliage plant
can be quite successful, the ex-
pert says. These also are best
combined directly in a planter.
Try Coleus, Philodendron or
Chinese Evergreen. With sim
pie narrow trellis, Grape Ivy
makes an attractive climber.
Brighten the sunny window
with African Violet, Geranium,
Patience Plant, or B e o n a S.
These last are almost never
wi hout some individuals in
bloom, and most of them have
colorful and interesting leaves.
Flowering plants are best pot,
ted separat t ely, Mr.. Stevens
warns. Place the pots in the
planter sunk in soil, peat moss
or sand, and no one will ever
know!
A few tips to keep in mind
the pots in which the plants
are growing should be painted
a uniform color, scrubbed clean
or hidden. Sickly plants should
either be thrown away or sep
arated-they don't belong in ar
ornamental display. Yellowins
leaves and faded flowers mus
be picked off daily. Watering
spraying, feeding and pruning
are especially important for in
door plants. Remember, YOUR
replacing Mother Nature.
