Tobacco Market
Top P rice Goes
Upward To SIG
Abundance OF
Low Grade Leaf
Offsets Gains

The strong demand for quality
tobacco, which has brought rec
ord prices. continued without
any dip on the Falmv.lle Tobac-
co Market this week, second of
the auction season.
The demand raised the top
price for first quality Austrian
leaf a dollar to SIG and gave
numerous growers averages for
a days offerings in the S50's and
S60's.
At the same time, the other
characteristic Of the 1868 crop
cont nued in force Many farm
ers who had no rains or irr;ga-
ton continued to offer only what
they have common, mixed,
and green tobacco which has
very limited demand
Average Holds
The result Of the two market
forces is general floor average
Of about S33 or where it was for
opening week.
Warehousemen and buyers es-
innate the weeks offering here
at about $4,000 to 375 900 pounds
of both dark-fired and sun-cured
tobaccos. That is relatively
light week for so early in the
auction season.
However, since the 1868 crop
is estimated to be at least 40
per cent b low the average
weight Of crops over the past
dozen years, the light offerings
surprise no one.

tabllshed Monday by George R.

22-Joe McClain is something
of a pitcher without a category
in the Senator's training camp
this year. He's not a holdover
regular, not a rookie, and he s
not one of the conditional
players. But he is on the spot
and he knows it.
The 29-year-old TenneSsear
thought he had enough tough
luck to last him a full career
in 1851 when his record Of eight
victories and Is defeats in
cluded a dozen one-run losses
But last year the roof fell
in. Joe lost his first four starts
and after appearing in IL
games and compiling a horrible
9.38 ERA he was sent to syria
cuse. He was cuffed around
with the last-place Chiefs ir
the International League anc
spent a couple Of weeks In g
hospital with what proved to bt
a pulled groin.

Underdog Gene Fullrner plots

tie tomorrow night on Q movie
he can't stand.
Filmed in San Francisco on
an october night last year, the
motion picture shows the 81
year-old Fullmer of West Jor-
dan, Utah. losing his crown to
Nigeria's Dick Tiger in Is
brawling, bruising rounds.
I'VE studied those pictures
for six weeks" Fullmer said
after both he and Tiger wound
up their heavy drills for the re-
match at the Las Vegas Con-
vention Center, which will be
telecast nationally (Channel 7
in Washington.
They helped with the plan
ming for this fight. There's no
use watching Just to see your
self get beat"
Tiger Isn't Worried
Although the new strategy
wasn't disclosed, observers who
watched Fullmer In sparring
sessions feel he won't rush into
his opponent as he did before.
Although Gene got in the first
blows, Tiger beat him with
speedy contemporaries to the
body and head.
The 33-year-old Tiger had
no movies, but it didn't worry
him. He nodded agreement with
trainer Jimmy August. who de-
clared:
Dick will do the same as he
did in San Francisco. He'll wait
and see. Fullmer is supposed to
have new strategy. Whatever 1t
is, we'll meet it. Fullmer has
been around too long to do
much changing at this point"
Tiger added, II think this
will be a tougher fight than
