methods in 1862.
"Split row cultivation offers
a chance for both increased
yield and increased quality.
1.-THE USDA is well aware

when Donut King headed Jai-

Hawks Meet
Leafs 10 Open
Hockey Season

CHICAGO, Oct. 10 (AP) -
The Chicago Black Hawks and
the Toronto Maple Leafs open
the National Hockey League
campaign tonight exactly where
they left off last season.
The Maple Leafs, who Incl
dentally still have Frank (Mil-
lion Dollar) Mahovlich, de-
feated the Hawks in Chicago
Stadium last spring to grab
the Stanley Cup which the
Hawks had won the previous
year.
The two clubs caused a sports
furor over the week end, Jim
Norris, owner of the Hawks,
offered the Leafs 81 million for
Mahovlich Friday night.
A shaking of hands report
edly took place and the next
day Norris dispatched General
Manager Tommy Ivan to Maple
Leafs Gardens with a check
for the million dollars.
Nobody, however, accepted.
The Toronto Board of Directors
was to have met to discuss the
offer, but apparently no such
meeting took place and "the
deal" died out.
Since the Stanley Cup series
last spring which the Leafs
won four games to two, the
Hawks and Leafs have met
twice in exhibition games this
season with Chicago taking
both games, 81 and 3-2.
The Leafs failed to win a
single exhibition game this
season but came up with a Al
victory in Saturday nights ALL
Star game.
The Hawks finished third
last season and are aiming for
the top spot this time which
has been dominated by the
Montreal Canadiens the last
five years.
Chicago has four new players
in Len Lunde, a center ac-
quired from Detroit, Al Mac
Neil, a defenseman from
Montreal, and rockies Chico
Maxi, a forward, and Wayne
Hillman, a defenseman.
The rest of the club is made
up of veteran holdovers in
Guiding Bobby Hull who scored
so goals last season and Goalie
Glenn Hall.
Mahovlich. of course, is
Toronto's top scorer, and 38-
year-old John Bower will be
in the nets. Age could become
Ia problem with the Leafs this
year. They have among their
top players Allen Stanley, 36;
Red Kelly, 35, and George
Armstrong, 80.
While the Hawks and Leafs
open the season tonight, the
other four MIL clubs will be
idle. They open tomorrow night
with Montreal at Boston and
Detroit at New York.

Dancer the only defeat Of his
brilliant career.
In 1857, Jewels Reward took
the Champagne and was the
Derby favorite the next spring,
although beaten by Tim Tam.
First Landing grabbed the race
in 1858, beating out Tony Lee
and Intentionally. Tony Lee

to third for bothering Inten-
tionally in the Champagne. On
Derby Day, Tony Lee was the
$3.70-$1 favorite and won. First
Landing, second c choice at
$3.80-$1, ran third.
Warfare grabbed the 1859
Champagne, beating Tompion
and Bally Ache. But Warfare
was hurt and retired q few
weeks before the Derby. Bally
Ache was second in the Derby,
and then won the Preakness.
Tompion ran fourth as the
Derby favorite, but was a lead
ing 3-year-old in 1860.
