Show i m t y THERE are any upsets, any reversals of form, In baseball this season, the same will come from the pitching side. For example, If anything happens to the Boston Red Sox, the trouble won't come from their infield or outfield. It will come from a pitching staff that is still uncertain. Last season Dave Ferriss, Tex Hughson and Mickey Harris won many well-pitched well-pitched games. But they also won H. Newhouser a flock of games that only savage hitting and run - making saved, games in which they were hammered ham-mered Into pulps. Tex Hughson, before the war, was rated as one of baseball's best. Last season, Tex needed the help of Bed Sox bats to save him, game after game and so did Dave Ferriss. In the season's opener, the Red Sox gave Hughson a 6-0 lead, and yet he couldn't finish. It is more than probable that Joe Cronin will need some extra help from some of his younger pitchers, if be is to win again, even if he has more good ballplayers on his team than any other rival by a two to one ratio. , Bed Sox pitching hardly belongs in the same class with Cardinal or Tiger pitching. These are the two strong staffs in baseball, well beyond be-yond any other collection of right and left arms. - Newhouser is the best pitcher In baseball today. Bob Feller is sure to have a good year. But he Isn't sure to have a great year, as great a pitcher as he has been in the past TheTigers have at least four high-grade high-grade pitchers who also have strong supporting aides. So have the Cardinals. Car-dinals. Durable Hurlers When Red Munger opened his new season, with a well-pitched game, you could almost hear Eddie Dyer's sigh of relief drift In from the Midwest. Mid-west. For Munger, over 6 feet, weighing 200 pounds, is the type that an work in 35 or 40 games. He rvalso the type that might win 25. means that such slender and somewhat fragile workmen as Pol-let, Pol-let, Brecheen and Dickson can get all the rest they need. It is quite possible that, with the addition of Allie Reynolds and the showing . of yonng Johnson, the Yankees' pitching staff will be the strongest section of the squad. If they are to get anywhere it will have to come through with better than average pitching. As far back as 1906, the White Sox, known as the Hitless Wonders, proved what good pitching could do. Their team batting average was .228. Yet, Ed Walsh, Nick Altrock and Doc White carried the team to a pennant, and then to a world series victory over the powerful Cubs. The White Sox, starting from last or near last place, won 19 straight In their flag drive. Pitching Pitch-ing did it In 1914, Rudolph, Tyler and James pitched the Braves from last place to the pennant, and then a four-game four-game sweep in the big series. In each case you'll notice that three pitchers did most of the work. Few pitchers today get half enough work. A good pitcher should be worked every fourth day, to keep his condition and build up his control. con-trol. Credit for Connie Mack's star teams of some 40 years ago was always given to his brilliant infield. I'd give even greater credit to Bender, Bend-er, Plank and Coombs, three of baseball's best. His infield wasn't great enough to protect an only average pitching staff. Worked 45 Games All you need, to discover what the power of good pitching means, is to look through past world series records, and see what happened to Ty Cobb, Hans Wagner and many other stars up through Ted Williams and Stan Musial. Giant pitchers held even the mighty Babe to a mark of .118 in one world series. Most of the great pitchers of baseball, base-ball, those with the stronger arms, could work through 45 or 50 games a year. This list includes Cy Young, Matty, Johnson, Alexander, Walsh, Chesbro, Feller, Newhouser and Dizzy Dean. The tendency today is to lift a Ditcher the moment he begins te Qbble a trifle. This is often a necessary nec-essary move. But it doesn't help the pitcher's confidence nor bring him the work he needs. In past seasons, looking well back, good pitchers were allowed to stick. This accounts for the fact that many of them were able to win from 30 U 40 games a season. Matty, Alexander Al-exander and Johnson turned this trick at least twice. Feller Insists that the heavy pressure pres-sure he put on his arm last year from January to December had no harmful effect Everyone hopes Bob is right. But there is also such i thing as overwork. 1,011 Rent Violations Send Couple to Prison NEW YORK.-Pleading guilty to charges citing 1,011 instances of rent ceilings violations between be-tween last March and October, two Harlem real estate men were sentenced to serve six months in prison.

Clerk Pleads Guilty To S7C3,C:3 Theft Lived Luxuriously and Kept Two Private Yachts. NEW YORK. William Arthu. Nickel, $64-a-week clerk who lived luxuriously and kept two yachts while he embezzled $780,000 from his employer, pleaded guilty as he went on trial with two of his three co-defendants. Nickel, who apparently will be chief state's witness in the huge Mergenthaler Linotype company swindle, entered his plea to a 202-count 202-count indictment charging grand larceny and forgery. The 48-year-old former Mergen thaler employee, whose extrava gance failed to arouse suspicion until un-til a fellow employee discovered fraudulent entries in his books, was arrested last October in a Florida hotel. Nickel, who had fled to Detroit, Chicago and Florida when b,e recognized rec-ognized that his accounts were under scrutiny, talked freely after his arrest and implicated three others in the complicated plot. Julius Lobel, alias Jimmy Collins, a Broadway figure who has been at liberty under $85,000 bail, and Irving Irv-ing Cohen, 45, known as "Izzy the Eel," are co-defendants in the swindle swin-dle trial A fourth co defendant, Isidore Rappaport, 55, president of the Ultima Optical Instrument company, com-pany, was granted a separate trial because he and his firm were named in only 41 out of nearly 500 counts in the indictment. Rappaport, a war sub-contractor for the linotype firm, was said by Nickel to have master-minded the plot in which fraudulent checks made out supposedly in payment of Mergenthaler bills escaped company com-pany detection. Rappaport, however, how-ever, was said to have been ousted in favor of Collins later in the plot Commonplace Pump Termed Most Widely Used Machine PHILADELPHIA. With only 29 per cent of the nation's farms equipped with the most universally used machine in the country the commonplace pump the remaining 71 per cent are rapidly becoming an important market for this mechanism mech-anism which outnumbers the automobile, auto-mobile, telephone and refrigerator combined. Terming the pump the "unsung Cinderella of the machine family," Richard H. DeMott, vice president of SKF Industries, Inc., in an industrial in-dustrial report said that of the country's coun-try's 5,800,000 farms, only 1,679,000 are equipped with pumps for running run-ning water. He estimated that the national "pump population" now tops 100 million, mil-lion, constituting one of the most important im-portant uses for ball and roller bearings. He compared the pump total with 34,000,000 automobiles, 19,-792,000 19,-792,000 refrigerators and 27,800,000 telephones reported in use at the end of 1946, pointing out that each motor vehicle uses at least one form of pump.

Child Kidnaped Two Years Ago Is Found Alive Amazing Story Tcld cf How Cirl Was Being Trained For Skating Act. CHICAGO. - A 5-year-old girl, kidnaped two years ago, was found alive and well in New Orleans with her abductors and returned to her Chicago home.

Prcpsr Fly C:r.!rsl Elir.instcs Di:c:s3 Proper Equipment ar.d Applicatisn Istpsrte... Many diseases and cases of contamination con-tamination are traceable to flies. Spraying with DDT and other new chemicals presents the first truly effective ef-fective means of controlling flies. DDT Is amazingly effective for several weeks. Flies landing on treated surfaces die in few minutes min-utes from a condition similar to delirium de-lirium tremens. The main steps to a good fly control program are: First: Clean up the breeding places where flies lay their eggs. Second: Spray DDT on all surfaces sur-faces where flies gather. For this work sprayer developing some pressure is needed. A garden type compressed air or larger sprayer will do the job efficiently. Around the home, spray the doors, windows, the back porch, out buildings, et cetera. On the farm, the ceilings Compressed air sprayer develops devel-ops 40 pounds pressure for barn and livestock spraying. and walls of barns, poultry houses and hog houses should be sprayed. Two or three sprayings a year will provide excellent control DDT is positive but slow in Its action. Dairymen still are using hand sprayers for a quick knockdown knock-down of visiting flies at milking time. The hand sprayers also are convenient conven-ient for spraying again those areas exposed to rain, where DDT may be washed off. The types of sprayers for fly control con-trol include: (1) hand atomizers; (2) hand pump action knapsack, wheelbarrow, and bucket pump sprayers; (3) compressed air usually usual-ly 2 to 4 gallons in size; (4) engine-operated engine-operated sprayers from to 1V4 H.P. up in size. At least one of each type should be available. Flavor and Value cf Milk Can Be Retained In recent months small unit pasteurizers pas-teurizers have been placed on the market.
