They beat the runnerup Yankees, who
had won three straight flags, by the i'm
plausible margin of 10 games in 1929. They
beat the Cubs in the World Series. The
following season they repeated, then
whacked the Cardinals in the series. They
made it three consecutive pennants in 80,
although losing to Pepper Martin and the
Cards in the World Series.
THE AS OF THAT ERA did so many
things so beautifully. They weren't con-
formists, either. Mack wasn't above pulling
a rabbit out of the hat. There's always
the story of Howard Ehmke, which is
revived like the editorial by the old New
York Sun to Virginia anent Santa Claus
Ehmke apparently was all done in 1929.
He had been pitcher Of brilliance on GER
tain occasions, such as in 1928 when he
threw no-hitter and one-hitter in sue
ceSsion. But in 80 Mack felt that Ehmke
had had it,
Howard" he said one day in his office,
II don't think you can help us any more"
Ehmke had a sore arm that season and
Mack found it necessary to cut one pitcher
from the squad.
Mr.. Mack" Ehmke replied, 1--WE been
In this game since 1914. I've never been
with pennant winner. Now I'm on one,
and I'd like to have the honor Of pitching
in a Worlds Series"
do you think you have one game left,
Howard?" asked Connie.
Il know I do" Ehmke answered.
NEVER WAS ANY BASEBALL secret
better kept. The AS had one Western swing
left but they we're we'll in front and so were
the Cubs in the MI. I'm going to leave you
here at Philadelphia" Mack told his veteran
pitcher You work out every day, quietly,
and when the Cubs come TO town to play
the Phillies I want you to scout them.
You're going to pitch the opening game Of
the World Series"
Ehmke dutifully followed instructions.
When the Cubs played the Phlllies he paid
his way into old Baker Bowl and charted
the Chicago hitters. II watched how every
one OF the Cubs batted, how they stood In
the box, the kind OF balls they hit, and the
kind they looked weak against" Ehmke
later related.
The rest Of the story is we'll known.
Howard Ehmke pitched the game OF his
life, striking out record Is Cubs. He was
a winner but Al simmons, greatest OF the
As hitters wasn't. When Ehmke began TO
warm up Simmons stood up. TO Mack.
You can't be serious, Mr.. Mack" he
said. This guy hasn't been with the club
for a month. You've got Grove Earnshaw,

not telling me how TO run my ball club,

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2 lAP)
The 1868 Sugar Bowl football
classic can be summed up in
two words-Glynn Griffing.
Griffing, perhaps the greatest
in a long line of fine Missis-
sippi quarterbacks, directed the
Rebels to a 1913 triumph over
Arkansas yesterday In the 28th
renewal of the Sugar Bowl.
The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder
from Culkin, Miss. gave Ole
Miss its first perfect season in
history as he ended his collie
giate career.
Now the New York Giants will
be looking for Griffing to ac-
complish similar feats. Jim Lee
Howell, an assistant coach with
the National Football League
club. signed Griffing to a pro
contract Immediately after the
game. Terms were not disclosed

WVK LOSE OR DRAW
Joe BoIey Wasn't Great
But He Was q Wheel

JOHN PETER BOLINSKY, who with a
rare sense of compassion for official scor-
erS played baseball under the name of plain
Joe Boley, probably was the least famous Of
all the great Philadelphia Athletics Of 1929
30-31. Yet, no matter how fabulous any
team is at eight positions, 1t can't win with
out Shortstop. And Boley was the Ath-
letics' ShortStop.
He was an agile guy who came out of
Mahanoy City, Pa, originally. He was over
Swallowed by Jimmy Foxx on first base, Max
Bishop on second and Jimmy Dykes on
third. Then, too, there were the likes of
Al Simmons, Mickey Cochrane, Lefty Grove,
George Earnshsw, Ed Rommel RUDE Wal
berg, Mule Haas, Bing Miller and a few
others.
Boley, who died the other day at "a,
didn't typify the old AS. He was too light a
hitter, although In his rookie season Of 1927
he batted 81. But he was scrapper, cut
along the lines Of Cochrane and Dykes
and Simmons, and Connie Mack, who owned
and managed the AS, was happy to have
him.
This was one of the very best baseball
kind Of club There was nothing common
place about its formation and 1t is possible
that some Of the AS, such as Boley, came
up to the majors little late in life

his AS we're too good. They were tapping
him out, financially He had to have money
so he sold his stars.
The years that followed we're bleak
ones. For seven seasons Philadelphia
reposed in the American League basement.
Then Mack began to move again-seventh
in 20, sixth In 49, fifth in "a, third In
'25 and 26, second in '27 and 90
Connie was in his COS when he made
some OF the shrewdest moves in the games

MES ivory tower In Philadelphia was a
Enthusiastically successful Baltimore Orioles
team, which had won seven consecutive
international League championships.

we're lucky. They had withdrawn from the
So-called National Agreement and their

turned out TO be Connie Mack

danger of "clostridium botu-

New Rem endY For
Garlic in Lawns

Garlic seasoning may add in
terest to your dinner table, but
garlic plants are a nuisance in
your lawn.
Assoc. County Agent Ed Ralph
recommends applying 2,4-D now
when the clumps are making
rapid growth and most easily
killed.
A single application of spray
will give only partial control.
Even if it appears that all garlic
plants have been killed with the
first spraying, the many small
plants that develop from under
ground bulblets will re-infest
the lawn. Annual treatment in
the spring and fall will be re-
quired for 2 to a years to OBJ
tain satisfactory control.
The ester form of 2,4-D pro-
vides effective control. But this
form of 2,4-D can cause injury
to ornamentals just from the
drifting of the spray, cautions
agent Ralph.
Caution must be used, there
fore, when spraying the chem
ical on the lawn. A sprayer with
a coarse nozzle is best because
it reduces the danger of spray
drifting onto other plants. But
by using a stick or bar type ap-
plicator, the danger from the
spray drifting to ornamentals
will be eliminated and satisfac-
tory control of the garlic plant
will be obtained.

logy, plant pathology, agronomy

equipment to identify insect, dis
ease and other damage to plants.

last year were mite control for
lima beans, soil deficiencies,
control of Johnson grass, black
spot on roses and diseases on
various other ornamental plants.
Along with the Sick Plant
Clinic, there will be display of
plants showing various types of
insect damage, as we'll as a dis
play of insects on which visitors
may test their recognition ability.
Free publications on plant prob
lens will be available.

Day feature will be tours of some

and field crop plots and poultry
research work under way at the

which will be seen are plots Show
ing the use of pesticides for con-
troll of weeds, insects and dis
eases. A newly designed window
less broiler house will also be
