Curtain Rises
For Baseball
Across Nation
BY the Associated Press

The 1861 major league base
ball season opens today on all
fronts following yesterdays
sneak preview at Griffith Sta
diun1, where the White Sox
downed the Senators, 4-3.
Weather permitting, all eight
National League teams and the
rest of the 10-club American
League circuit begin their long
battle for championship hon.
orS.
In the National League, st.
Louis opens at Milwaukee,
Chicago at Cincinnati, Pitts
burgh at San Francisco and
Philadelphia at Los Angeles.
All are daylight affairs except
the game in Los Angeles, which
plays nearly all of it's games
at night.
In the American, Minnesota
is at New York, Los Angeles at
Baltimore. Kansas City at Bos-
ton and Cleveland at Detroit.
Chicago and Washington have
a day off.
More than the usual prob
lens confront the majors this
year because of the American
Leagues bold expansion from
eight to 10 clubs. The Ma
tional, committed to add New
York and Houston next year,
undoubtedly will be awaiting
developments, along with mil
lions of fans throughout the
country.
The American League has
been criticized for it's method of
stocking Washington and Los
Angeles, the two new clubs.
Whether it was right or
wrong won't be determined
until the seasons end when
the returns are in. If the new
comers don't win a respectable
number of games, it is almost
certain that the National
League clubs will decide to be
more generous than their rivals.

Ito finish"
Player, 5-feet-7 and. only 15C
pounds, had 69-68-69-74 as he
became the first foreigner anc
second youngest competitor tC
win the Masters. He was 25 last
November. Byron Nelson hac
Just turned rs when he won ir
1892.
Gary'S triumph was a tribute
to determination. He learned or
previous visits to the PGA cir.
cult that he lacked the distance
of the American pros. He die
something about it during the
past year.
Off to Good Start
The black-haired South Afri.
can started doing 70 fingertir
pushupS a day, started eatins
nuts, raisinS and honey, and
most important, widened hi!
arc. He always dresses in sole
black, saying that it exemplifiei
strength.
Player was one stroke bacE
after the first round, tied a
the halfway mark, and led BY
four when Palmer lost his con.
centration during the thirc
round.
Players start yesterday prob.
ably would have shaken every
golfer in the world. Already
four on top, Player birdied the
first two holes before Palmer
started, knocking in a 20.
footer on the first hole, anc
chipping stiff for a birdie or
the second.
Gary one putted sever
green's on the front nine, most
OF them from just off the edge
and was out in "a. He slipped
for the first time on the 10th
but Clipped dead for pars on
II and IL. He was frisky, wav-
ing to the gallery, imploring
them to follow him.
Subdued by Seven
But the 18th, 475-yaro
dogleg par five where a ditch
in front of the green chal-
lenges the big hitters, cost him
a seven, and he was subdueo
from that point.
He said later that he didn't
think he deserved the seven
He sprayed his tee shot to the
right. He apparently attempted
to play a safe shot back into
the fairway from under the
pines, but he hit the ball toe
clean and it rolled into the
ditch. He took a penalty
stroke, knocked a long-iron
shot over the green, and three
putted from the edge.
On the par five 18th, he was
short in three, Clipped past
missed the putt, and at this
point it was Palmer's cham
pionship for the asking. Gary
knocked in saving 12-footer

for a par on IT, scrambled from
the trap on 18, and for the
round had II one-putt greens.
Palmer had birdied the two
par-fives on the front nine,
and the sixth, where he almost
made a hole-in-one. But de-
spite some magnificent ap-
proach shots, the eighth hole
was his final birdie. One more
anywhere along the line would
have wrapped it up. On the
par fiyes on the back nine, he
reached the 18th in two smash
ing wood shots, but three
putted from an excusable 100
feet, by his estimate. He
Jagged up short on Is with his
second shot.
Coe could have won it all.
The reed-thin oil man, two
time winner of the National
Amateur, beat Jack Nicklaus,
considered the greatest anna
teur since Bobby Jones, by six
shots.
Will Take Vacation
The amazing part of Goes
final round was that, as
Palmer'S playing partner, he
outdroVe Arnie on almost ev-
cry hole. And he certainly out
putted him.
Coe had 72-71-69-69 and
might have won it if he had
any competition under his
belt, such as the pros have had
all winter.
Skies on the par three 18th
in 1859 and the 18th hole yes
terday now have prevented
Palmer from winning four
straight Masters champion
ships. In his last five major
tournaments, Palmer won the
Masters last year, won the
National Open, was seventh in
the PGA, second in the Brit
lsh Open, and now second in
the Masters.
Player will take a vacation
this week, and then pick up
the tour. He is the leading
money winner, and hopes to
become the first foreigner to
lead the United States pros for
the year. He, like Palmer, also
has his eyes on the National
and British Opens.

tractive pyramidal habit of
growth that is so desirable.
The cedars, the deodar and
the Lebanon, can be restrained
somewhat by pruning but they
are rather large except for a
back corner of a large lot. The
spruce, if in a favorable situa-
ton, probably ranks second in
meeting the space limitations
of the modern-Si lot.
One other point might well
be noted here, and that is that
some of the best known pyra-
midal trees are rather shallow
rooted and so it may be difficult
to grow grass over the root
area. Keeping the lower limbs
on such trees may save a
problem area from becoming a
problem. When the limbs cover
the ground it is seldom neces-
Sary or even desirable to try
to grow grass or plants beneath
them.

There are some trees whose
beauty stems from their broad
pyramidal habit of growth
growth that begins at the
ground and extends Solidly up
to the tip. Mostly they are the
kinds Of trees that one expects
to see on estates, in arbore-
tumS or on public grounds. OF
course, such trees retain their
lower branches but this varies
materially with the different
kinds. Some are much more
satisfactory in this respect
then others and most tree
lovers lacking space for them
simply drool at the sight of one.
Much of the ability of a tree
to retain it's lower branches
stems from its shape. A truly
pyramidal form is the one most
likely to be able to keep its
lower branches. Globular,
columnar and vase shaped
trees seldom retain them. The
gardener usually offers this
explanation-When the top in
extending overShadows the
lower limbs they soon die off.
Benefit by Pruning
Conversely. we might add
that trees other than those
with a true pyramidal habit
of growth can be pruned so
that they are more likely to
keep their lower branches. This
is especially true of the Ameri-
can holly which Is one Of the
trees we like to see with its lower
branches a firm rich green.
The normal Christmas season
pruning should be such that the
upper branches are clipped so
that there is no danger of their
overshadowing the lower ones.
1t may take a pole pruner or a
ladder to do the job.
Some of the better known
and most attractive Of the pyra-
midal trees in this area are the
southern magnolias on the
Mall. The deodar and the
cedar of Lebanon which are
true cedarS retain their lower
branches without much help
from the gardener. Other such
trees are the Douglas fir, the
beech. and the spruce. Some
kinds Of pines do it very well
while young but as they reach
maturity they tend to broaden
out at the top and the lower
branches are soon lost. The
blue spruce seemingly in many
instances holds its lower
branches better than the Black
Hills, the Norway spruce, and
other green needed kinds.
Some Yards Too Small
Few yards are large enough
to provide space for a southern
magnolia when it reaches full
stature. 1t may be so to 80
feet tall and nearly as wide at
the base unless given some
pruning.
The hollieS, on the other
hand. can be kept to a much
more reasonable spread and are
more likely to provide the at

Is Per Cent of
Family Income
Used for Food

Today-as for many years
past-we spend about 25 per-
cent of the family income on
food. But if we bought the
same foods today that we did in
past years, we'd use only l6
percent of the family budget.
This means that cost of basic
foods has decreased, in relation
to income, says John H. Nc
chairman of the agri-
cultural biochemistry and food
technology department at the
University of Delaware.
But what about the other
9 percent of our budget we
used to spend? Today we're
this money for variety
and convenience. You can see
this by comparing the food
items on the shelves of today's
supermarket with those you
saw in stores 20 years ago.

County Agent
Warns Of Injury
BY Corn Borers

Spring time is bug time ac-
cording to Kent county agricul-
tural agent George Vapaa. But
farmers can beat the corn borer
to the corn stalk by making the
first move-before May L.
The way to do this is to plow
down or chop up all the corn
stalks on the place before May
l. Corn borers winter in the
stalks and this is the easiest
time to cut down the popula-
ton.
Recent counts taken by Uni
versity of Delaware entomolo-
gists show an average popula-
ton of more than l20 borers
per 100 corn stalks. Now is
the time to hit them before
they have chance to lay eggs
for a new generation this sea-
son.
MIR. Vapaa pointed out that
corn borers feed on the corn
plant, slowing its growth and
preventing it from reaching full
normal size. Besides this loss,
many borer-weakened stalks are
broken by heavy winds, increas-
ing field losses

there because new methods of
handling and preservation have
extended their availability many
months after their growing sea-
son, and at great distances from
where they were produced. Con-
venience products such as pre-
pared mixes, instant foods, and
heat-and-serve items have cut
down on the time required for
meal preparation.
These services are provided
at a cost of about 9 percent of
the family budget, McClendon
adds. This is true because so
much of the handling and pro-
cessing of today's foods has
been placed on a scientific and
efficient basis.
Today's food professor must
consider many factors. These
Include production methods,
quality control, distribution and
public acceptance. Where the
preservation of food was once
an art, it has now become, in
large part, science-food tech
nology.

siders all phases of raw product

you can hustle in such cool
weather crops as onions, spin
ach, cabbage, lettuce, carrots
and radishes as soon as you can
work the soil. You should start
strawberry and asparagus beds
now too.
Now if it turns cold you can
still do some good while you're
still in the house by the heat
er. You can start peppers, to-
matoes, marigolds and zinnias
for transplanting later.
And, of course, you can al

Garden, Yard
Jobs Should Be
Started at Once

The time has come to stop
looking out the window and to
get on out there and do things!
What things? Well, according
to Robert F. Stevens, extension
horticulturist with the Univers-
ity of Delaware, now is the
time for several yard and gard
en- jobs.
First, there's the pruning.
Evergreens, roses and fruit
trees, including ornamental fruit
trees, can be pruned now, he
said, Wait until your other
shrubs have bloomed before
pruning them.
Try to prune your evergreens
in a natural shape. If you use
hedge clippers you are likely
to come up with an undesirable
formal appearance, Stevens said.
Fruit trees can be cut back
anytime between now and June,
although it's easier to do now.
You should get the roses prun-
ed as soon as possible.
This is the time to plant
woody trees and shrubs too.
The quicker the better. Roses
are also included in this plant
now category. Get your woody
plants in the ground by May
