DX CHAMPION—Ollie Ross of Vallejo, Calif., has set a radio mark by ogging 1,363 stations—every com-
mercial station on the broadcast band! After 20 years he has perfected an amazing combination aerial-
ground unit that catches with clarity such broadcasts as those of TWJ, Bermuda, 7% watts, world’s small-
est commercial station, more than 3,000 miles distant. He has installed his units for many notables, includ-
ingPresident.Roosevelt. “When universal peace becomes a reality,” says Ross, “I shall release my in-
vention to the peoples of al the world. Thus far I ha ve closely guarded its secret for fear it may be turned
intof a device of destruction.” TOMORROW: May D ay Is Fish Day.

j POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Ennis Merchants softball
team will tackle their second foe
of the 1940 season when they meet
the Edge Cliff Cleaners from Dal-
las at 8 o’clock tonight on Alamo.
Field.
The visitors will present a bunch
of hustling young men who will be
1 playing their third season together.
Manager Calloway is expected to
be on hand and will add color to
the game, in as much, as he is
one of the oldest softball managers
in Dallas.
The Merchants team will present
an improved team with the addi-
tion of Sublett at short. Sublett
will be playing through permission
. of the Moore’s team, as he was
drafted by the Merchants team
until a satisfactory replacemtnt
could be made. C. O. (“Skip”) On-
stead will again toe the rubber in
search of his first win of the sea-
son.
The catching duties will be hand-
led by the much improved James
Collier.

For ammunition to fight the cut
worms the girls are mixing five
pounds of coarse wheat bran, oe-
half pint of molasses, three ounces
white arsenic or Paris Green, with
enough water to make a stick mix-
ture. -
Lat in the evening they "strow"
,it along the row and the worms
get a good dose that riight. After
waging this war, one girl reported,
‘they landed in heaven or some-
where before sun-up.”
Good results, they say, are ob-
tained in fighting cutworms that
bother other plants also, by using
this poison bean mixture.

Buster Dixon. Paste that name
in your hat because it’s likely to
be before sporting fans for some
time to come.
A freshman at Abilene Christian
College, he hails from Ennis and
Ellis county, a sector that sent
more ball players out into the world
than any of which we know. Dix-
on is a 170-pound blocking back
in football.
As a freshman he played reg-
ularly atfer mid-season. And
he has three more years in
which to develop his blocking
nd tackling proclivities.
With those three years out of the
way, you should really begin to
hear from Buster. That is, if you
are a baseball fan. Because when
his college days are over and the
chores on the hilltop are done, he
hopes to embark upon a profession-
al baseball career.
The fact that he’s only 18 years
old, can throw with the speed of
a canon, and packs the power of
an Ellis county mule in his should-
ers and arms accentuate his chanc-
es.
Baseball scouts are on the
lookout for catchers. Catchers
who can throw, think and hit
reasonably well. Talk to an
ivory hunter and he inquires
about backstops. Of course, he
j is interested in a hardhitting
i outfielder. But around the bat-
M tery involves a good part of
6 the success of. a baseball team.
In his work in city league con-
tests and in- the exhibition at
Hamlin Sunday are a true indica-
tion of his ability, he’s possessed
of all the ingredients necessary for
success.
■ Though only 16 "years old at the
time, Dixon played with the Ennis
softball team at the state meet
here in 1938 Last year he competed
with the same group at Houston.
