Show MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE, DELTA. UTAH ll..XstkCEJt --V.: 1 CRANK FRISCH, sometimei known as the Fordham Flash, was talking. "You know," Frisch said, "they talk about the toughest and most important jobs in baseball. Maybe it's the pitcher. Maybe it's the catch-er who has to watcb K both infield and out-field. Practically every job at every position is an impor-tant one. But how many people do you ever hear talk about the coach at third base? To my mind that's as big a job as there is in baseball. Just to . , take one example, how many remem-ber the number of games Art Fletch-er won for the Yankees? I can tell you the number either, but Fletcher won plenty. I could tell you about the game that Gonzalez had saved for the Cardinals. There are many others." "Why is the third base coach so important, and why is the job so tough?" I asked Frisch. "Third base is the scoring spot," Frisch replied. "It is the big cor-ner. There are men on first and sec-ond. A hit follows. The third base coach has to judge the speed of the hit. He has to know something about the outfielder's throwing arm. Should he send the runner home? Should he send the first base run-ner on his way round to third? He must watch the ball. He must watch two base runners. Games Lost at Third "It might surprise you if I should tell you the number of games I saw lost last season through incorrect decisions on the part of the third base coach. I couldn't blame them for they had too many spots to cov-er, too many places to watch, all in split-secon- d time." Looking back, you can see what Mr. Frisch was talking about. Base-ball is packed with close games with games won or lost by a run. Should the base runner be sent home, or held at third? Should the runner on first be sent around to third? With two men scamper-ing around the bases and the ball bouncing around the outfield three different spots to watch what is the next move? "Third base coaching is not only a tough spot," Frisch says, "but a highly important one. It can mean the difference of 10 or 12 games a season, a margin that could win a pennant for three or four teams. There are so many things that look unimportant in baseball that can win or lose your games," Frisch continued. "Just a little mistake here just another one there. Not much of a mistake. But there goes your ball game." "Frisch is right when you look over the number of ball games won and lost by the margin of a single run. Just a run, that's all. But it means the ball game. The Dodgers won a flock of games by one run last season. Suppose a third of those had gone the other way? What a sad hamlet Brooklyn would have been. Hard Training Needed There seems to be a wide dif-ference of opinion as to how Joe Louis will look and act on his re-appearance in front of Jersey Joe Walcott in June. No one, of course, expects to see the Louis of his peak years, the Louis that used to be. On the other hand, I don't think you'll view any decrepit old man. You'll see a much better Louis than the one who met Walcott a short while back. When Louis came to this contest he had actually fought only seven full rounds In six years. The rounds against Billy Conn consisted en-tirely of walking, barring one or two punches. The Mauriello flurry lasted less than three minutes. Louis had. been leading a soft life up to his brief training period, look-ing on Walcott as a soft touch to be eliminated without much effort. So there was neither any "physical hardness nor any mental lift to the Louis effort. He had overlooked the fact that while he was loafing, Wal-cott had been fighting. This can make a terrific difference when one has passed 30, and has been around the ring 12 or 13 years. I still believe Louis can whip him-self back into first-clas- s fighting shape, if he has that much ambi-tion left. For this isn't going to be any easy job. Road work isn't the only answer. Back in training, he needs sparring partners who can jolt him, hurt him and cross him up. Joe has never been the ring's quickest thinker when he gets crossed. He needs time to figure things out. He slowly. But up to the Walcott party, he had always been willing to throw a punch, once he got in reach. This time, after catching up with Walcott, he waited for Walcott to lead. A serious, hard-trainin- g campaign of three or four months could bring Louis back a long way quite long enough to win if Louis is willing to pay this price. At least he will never . look as bad again. CLASSIFIED is DEPARTMENT AUTOS, TRUCKS & ACCESS. ',f if USED CARS fcj .

I caught one in a frank mood the other day, however, and he surprised me by confessing that Russia had just about lost the "cold war." The diplomat, who was of high rank, probably let his hair down because he was talking to another ambassador. I think he was telling the truth. At any rate, he listed three basic, errors made by Moscow. They were: IThe belief that the U. S. would face wide unemployment and economic soon after the war. The politburo expected this would enable them to point to the United States and tell European nations: "You see what a sham American capitalism is." Moscow's mistaken belief that the Frenchmen and Italians who 2. flocked to Communist banners after V-- E Day were real Communists. 32 campaign that was staged by Molotov and This diplomat reported that Stalin and his associates still . believe the United States is on the verge of collapse. The Soviet embassy in Washington hasn't been able to convince them otherwise. I The politburo also still thinks that American collapse would prevent wholesale aid to western Europe under the Marshall plan, and that c American unemployment soon will make American manufacturers plead with Russia for large orders from the Soviet union to keep U. S. fac-- y tories going. '? a. i r r f r I WALTER WINCH, ELL rr,, f, Notes From the Late Watch j Uncle Sam's newest weapon is an i anti-atom- bomb. . . .

M There is every indication that nothing will come out of the hearings this year. As a matter of fact, a regular hornet's nest was stirred up and churches, lodges and hundreds of organizations owning tax-fre- e com-merci-properties have moved into the picture protesting against any tinkering with that section of the internal revenue code at this time.

There is no transportation except by taxi, which Is yy futile for several reasons. Even the nearest offices are more than a quarter of a mile away. The representatives and their office help almost always, walk. Their errands are frequent. A member may have to walk three round trips a day, either overland through the park, or by tunnel. .. The senate office building also is connected with the capitol by tunnel. For some obscure reason, while the senators have a set ' ' of electric trolleys like e Broadway summer dinkeys, there j are no vehicles In the subway to the representatives' offices. f i It would cost little and it would save time and energy, but still there is no trolley-line- . Even factory scooters would be fine, but, never-f-- theless, the representatives and their help walk. Most of the representatives are distinctly younger and more active than most senators, but I have thought, while wearily plodding the monotonous j route, that it would be in the public interest that they take their exercise "ipVo n their own Ume and use their energy on their work.

"It costs no more for seed and tillage usually the main expenses in crop production to grow a $50 crop than a $25 crop," he declares. Wisconsin tests show that addition-al crop yields resulting from heavy fertilization cost only $2 to $3 per ton for alfalfa and 10 to 15 cents per bushel for corn and oats. "The extra cost of a larger yield per acre lies simply in the Proper fertilization has paid on thousands of farms, whether ap-plied to corn, wheat, oats, soy- - beans, cotton or any other crop, additional fertility removed from the soil. But even this is partly com-pensated for in the case of legumes by the greater amounts of nitrogen the bigger crop supplies to the soil. "High acre yields are also the se-cret of success in erosion control and soil conservation. When yields on less erodible land are doubled or trebled through adequate liming and heavy fertilization, a bigger acreage of more erodible lands can be returned to forests and per-manent grass. That means more and better food for all." ? r . I a 1 - w . I f f vf - ! i ) J j ij t r ' ; J "I y ' -- .

Dampness around water containers can be eliminated in pens with running water by putting a drain pipe through the floor and set-ting the watering pan on a frame over the drain pipe. Dry litter pays off. Feed is wasted when animals die. A pullet that dies in December rep-resents a loss of 40 pounds of feed. The loss of a newborn pig repre-sents a loss of 140 pounds of feed. To avoid excessive loss of butter-fa- t in skim milk in winter, run enough hot water through the sep-arator bowl so it will come out the cream and skim milk spouts. Do this as soon as separator is up to normal speed.

Not only will there be more eggs to put in the crate, but also the house need not be cleaned as frequently if the litter and drop-pings are kept dry. A deep litter keeps the floor dry because it de-velops heat as it slowly decomposes in the laying house, insuring better flock health. |
