'Automatic0ut'
Rap on Rivals
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star Stan Writer

ORLANDO. Fla, Mar. TO-
Unless I can hit, we got three
automatic out men on our
club" Catcher Clint Courtney
of the Senators says, "and
there amt no way six men can
beat nine men regular like.
Maybe every so often, but it
amt gonna happen too many
times"
The ungrammatical and un-
inhibited receiver takes a dim
view of the hitting the WASH
ington club will receive from
its second base and shortstop
candidates. And he adds, IF
I can't hit, we amt gonna get
no hitting from our catchers. 4"
Thus Clint dismisses his COM
petition, Hal Naragon and
Steve Korcheck.
Nov, if I amt hitting. the
Shortstop amt hitting and the
second baseman amt hitting,
we're in a peck Of trouble" /"
Courtney reasons.
That amt including the
pitcher. but that kind of
balances off. Those pitchers
on other clubs amt gonna be
bothering us none neither.
Writes of Bad Year
Il was bad last year, but ]
amt never had such bad luck

training and mumps after he
returned to the lineup. 81
never got in shape. When you
lay off a long time like that,
it's hard to get back to busting
that ball,
Il amt worried too much
about my hitting, though. You
take a look in that little book
and you amt gonna find no
body on this club with a better
lifetime batting average (.271)
than Old Scraps.
What 1 gotta do is improve
my throwing. ! got the arm. All
I gotta do is get the ball away
quicker, and I'm working hard
to cut out taking that extra
step before I throw. 1t amt
easy because got the habit,
but I'm trying. I amt never
been so serious. This was the
earliest I ever come to camp"
Appraisals Are Blunt
That's true. Clint generally
delays his arrival at training
camp to spend a few more days
with his cattle and horses at
his Coushatta, La, ranch. He's
a horse breeder, owns a small
racing stable and he's no dumb
bell with a dollar. He has 10
broodmares. He buys and sells,
accomplishing more of the lat
ter at rewarding figures.

Senators talent sometimes are
inaccurate and sometimes are

TYCOON MADE As SUCCESS
Arnold johnson Dies
After Collapse in Car

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla,
Mar. 10 (AP) Arnold Johnson.
hard-driving business tycoon
who moved the Athletics base
ball club from Philadelphia to
Kansas City and made it a
financial success, died today.
The 53-year-old club presi-
dent suffered a cerebral hemor-
rhage while driving yesterday
after watching a squad game
at the Athletics spring training
camp here.
His wife, Carman, was with
him when he died at LAS am.
at Good Samaritan Hospital.
She was placed under sedation.
A brother, Earl johnson, who
flew down from Chicago, said
practice at the Athletics camp
would be called off today
Funeral plans are indefinite, al
though the body will be re-
turned to Chicago, his home,
for burial.
Surviving besides the widow
and brother are a daughter,
Wendy Alexis Johnson, and a
son, jeffrey johnson of Chicago.
Trades Caused Controversy
johnson, who had no previous
baseball experience before buy
ing the financially ailing Phila-
delphia team from Connie
Mack and his associates five
years ago. was active in the
management of the club.
His many player trades, par
ticularly those with the New
York Yankees, made him a
controversial figure in the
American League.
To such criticism, johnson
replied:

more of themselves into their jobs

It's always been that way, and l
for one hope it always will be. Let
me put my whole financial credo in

One of my first jobs as a youngster was an
undercover plunger at the casino in Aqua Caiente,
Mexico. was staked to bankroll and paid by the
owners to shoot dice and play the roulette wheel in
order to spy for collision between customers and
croupiers. The nightly sight of all those men and
women collecting nothing but lifetime of misery
and ruin at the gaming tables cured me for good.

4. Don't be ofraid to ask fora raise.
A recent survey showed that 80 per
cent of salaried workers are incap-
able of asking for raise for fear of
losing their jobs entirely. A man
who never asks for a raise tacitly
agrees on a low evaluation of him
self. But only ask for raise when
you're sure you've earned one and
can muster the facts, face-to-face
with the boss, to prove it. Your
own financial problems - such as
your wife's having baby - are not
good enough. A bachelor has more
right to high pay than married
man with ten children - if he con-
tributes more to the firm.

Look at Seed Label

Read the label on the grass
seed before buying it not after
wards. Only three kinds of grass
seed are recommended for this
area - Kentucky bluegrass,
creeping red fescue and chew
ings fescue. Chewings fescue
is the best Of the grasses for
the dry shady situation. Ken
lucky bluegrass and creeping
red fescue make a good COM
bination for the sunny lawn.
If you must have white clover
in your lawn, wait until next
March to plant it.
Good grass seed-seed with
high termination need not be
planted thickly. Bluegrass seed
is very small-2H million per
pound-at the rate of one
pound per 1000 square feet OF
area that means over 1000
seeds per square foot. The fes-
cue seeds are larger-615, ,O0C
per pound. For reseeding, one
pound per thousand square
feet is ample for new seeding
two pounds is generous. Mis-

Dig Out DoffodiIs

Daffodils that were too thick
for good Towering should be
dug as soon as possible and the
bulbs either replanted at once
in a well-prepared bed or dried
of and stored until September.
In preparing soil for daffodIs
1t will pay to dig the soil to
a depth Of Is to 18 inches if top
quality bloom is desired. In
corporate compost or peat moss
into the soil as we'll as a gen.
erous supply Of bone meal. The
bone meal should be mixed with
the soil in the bottom of the
bed. This may seem like un-
necessary work, and it is true
that the narcissus will live and
bloom without such care, but
the bulbs should be planted 6 to
8 inches deep. and the area
below the bulbs is where the
plant food should be placed.

weedkillers.. Amino triazole

Top soil is something that
is looked upon as essential to
a good lawn and undoubtedly
good soil is helpful If you can

any of these three are out of
balance-Water. nitrogen or lack
Of aeration. Too much water
can be just as productive of

Excess nitrogen can be COM

aeration can be solved either
by regular cultivation, or better
still by mulching.

Rose VS.. Beetle

Since it is practically impos-
sible to keep the Japanese
beetles out Of open roses many
gardeners have learned to cut
the flowers in bud, allowing
them to open indoors. This is
best done after plunging in
deep cold water over night to
harden them. AS needed bring
the buds into warner situations.
However, roses can be pro-
tected on the bush if the gar
den display is to be kept going
during the period of beetle ac-
tivity-from now until mid
August. Dust the open flowers
each morning with DDT.

Our choice is hard. The
abundance in the ponds is daz-
zling. There is dewy clear-cut
magnificence. There is tender
delicate and breathtaking
beauty and we wonder how to
concentrate.
A fatal mistake at this point
is to look about you too much.
Waterplants float charmingly
on the surface. trying to be-
witch you. There are fluted
velvety rosettes, water hya-
cinths, shell flowers and tiny
duck weeds. Blush green lotus
leaves rise high above the water
and a lotus blossom is sheer
ecstasy. To boot glittering
dragon flies, frogs and lazy
watersnails with spiral dome
houses on their backs weave a
net of enchantment about you.
There you stand, trying to
select just a speck of this beau
ty to take home with you.
At last our eyes can absorb
no more. Saturated, we have
reached a climax of enjoyment.
Now we touch ground again,
and we acquire a very few Of
all these treasures, even though
they cost little or nothing.
Common sense and the knowl-
edge of our limits at home will
spare us from gluttony.
A plain glass container holds
the nailholder in a central de-
preston. Three marsh cattails
reduced to one half and less Of
their natural height lead the
eye downward with their snowy,
brown and cylindrical flower
spikes.
The leathery leaves of the
waterlilies float on the surface.
Slide your clippers underwater
and snip their tubular stems
several times. Then anchor
them on the nailholder. Only
a few leaves are used and the
CLASSY water surface interrupts
and emphasizes their pattern.
Into this prepared design Of
vertical and horizontal pat
terms we now place our beauti-
full water nymphs, a bud half
open. and open waterlilies,
Carefully we again snip the
long stems under water until
we reach the desired length
This precaution prevents air
from rushing into the cut. This
would lock the intake Of water
and our beauties could die
from thirst in the midst OF
plenty.
For a few days the flowers
will open and close naturally
When they are gone, you will
be left with a longing to reach
out again for this priceless
treasure of summertime.
