1 1' Stoll Correspondent
NEW YORK, August 25 —
(UP)—'If you're interested in
golf, you'll get a kick out of
learning that Argentina, that
completely "neutral" Latin Am-
erican power, assured the Unit-
ed States professional golijers
association only yesterday that
arrangements could be made —
despite the war— for four big-
time • U. S. linksmen to fly to
Buenos Aires to compete in
the Argentine open and 25 ex- j
hibition matches.
Moreover, because of our
good neighbor policy, it is virt-
ually assured now that four
! romineni U. S. professionals,
accompanied by Ed Dudley, pre-
sident of the PGA, will grab a
plane from Miami, Fla., on
Oct. 3. and remain in the Ar-
gentine at least five weeks.
Those invited were Jimmy
Demaret of Detroit, who went
to Argentina last year with
Sam Snead and won the Argen-
tine open crown; Lawson Lit-
tle; Ben Hogan and Craig Wood.
Demarelt and Wood have ac-
cepted the invitation. Hogan is
trying to arrange his affairs so
that he can make the trip. Lit-
tle will be unable to go be-
cause his wife is expecting a
little divot digger. Byron Nel-
son of Toledo, 0., may go in Lit-
tle's place.
If Hogan goes, he is cer-
tain to fool a lot of. experts
in that country where so
much emphasis is placed up-
on beef. Little Ben is com-
pletely lacking in beef, yet
lie is the leading money-
winner 'of 1942. with $13,-
1U. after winning the Hale
America. Los Angeles Nor-
th and South, Asheville, X.
C. and Rochester, X. V. op-
ens, find finishing in the
money in several other
tournament^
According to Freddie Corcor-
an, PGA tournament mnaager,
one of the questions most often
asked of his headquarters is
this: How much does' TTOgan
weigh? The answer is: 137 lbs.
Another insistent question is:
How tall is Sam Snead. And Cor-
coran's answer is—just a frac-
tion short of six feet.
Snead accompanied Demaret to
Argentina last year, but 61am-
tnin' Sam won't make the trip
this time because he is a second
class seaman, stationed at the
Norfolk, Va., naval baA>. In a
recent letter Snead informed
Corcoran that he never again
would object to being among the
'dawn patrol" fir 9 a. m. start-
ers in any tournament, because
his current day begins at 4:15
a. m. In the old days Sailor
Snead was a bit choosey —like
most prominent pros —• about
his starting time. He wanted
to hove off sort of midway be-
tween the "dawn patrol" and
"heel time." The latter time di-
vision tykes in the late tee-of-
fers who move over a course
after the putting greens are cup-
py from the heels of the con-
testants who have marched ov-
er them earlier in the day.
We asked Corcoran: In
view of the rubber and steel
shortage, is there enough
equipment, for golf to he car-
ried on in big-time fash-
ion for the rest of 1942?
Corcoran replied that PGA
experts had estimated there
was enough equipment on hand
to last not only 1942 but also
next year, if used carefully. He
explained that there was a de-
crease of about 40 per cent in
play in the east, because of
get; rationing. And that most
players were following the ex-
ample of top-flight, profession-
in using only two balls for a
round—instead of six as former-
ly. Some pros, he said, insist
upon using only one ball for 18
holes.

Cardinals Still
In Pennant Race
And Hittiiiir Ball
Brooklyn's Camilli
Club's Biggest Hope
For World Series
NEW YORK, Aug. 25 —(UP)
—The pennant road stretched
clear and straight today before
the Brooklyn Dodgers who fac-
ed the disturbing realization
that unless they win all 3 re-
maining games from the Cardi-
nals, the path may become
strewn with obstacles — mostly
from St. Louis.
This year's National League
flag race is peculiar in more
than one sense, but particularly
regarding the records of the
Dodgers and Cards. The race has
not yet gone into September and,
although the Dodgers have main-
tained a pace close to .700 almost
all summer, the Red Birds still
are dangerously close.
Tfie Cardinals, 6 1-2 games be-
hind. have more hitting power
than the Dodgers. They have
made more hits and scored more
runs and although Brooklyn .is
more poised and polished, the
St. Louisans still may stage a
driving finish.
Brooklyn, long credited as
a unit of all-stars, apparent-
ly is developing an individ-
ual in Dolpli Camilli who
may be the final edge in the
pennant Reckoning. Camilll's
bat has shown tremendous
power, especially in the re-
cent Giant series.
Max Lanier stopped both
Brooklyn and Camilli last night,
when the Cards trounced the
Dodgers, 7-1, before 25,558 fans,
St. Louis' largest night game
crowd.
Lanier turned back the Dodg-
ers with four hits, blanking them
in the first seven innings for
his 12th victory of the year and
fourth over Brooklyn in five
starts. Mickey Owen's single
and a double by Lew Riggs
spoiled Lanier's shutout in the
eighth.
Larry French, Les Webber
and Hugh Casey pitched for the
Dodgers and were rapped for 12
hits. French, who pitched until
the sixth, was charged with his
second Ibss of the'year against
13 victories.
The Cards pounded French fQr
nine hits and a 5-0 lead in the
first five innings. Terry Moore,
who made three of the Cards'
hits, doubled in the first inning
and raced home on Enos Slaugh-
ter's single for the first run.
Slaughter got a double and sin-
gle and drove in two runs.
No other major league games
were scheduled.
YESTERDAY'S STAR — Max
Lanier, who won victory No. 12
and his fourth in five starts
against Brooklyn, pitching the
Cards a 7-1 triumph over the
Dodgers last night.

Doni DiMaggio
Navy Coxswain
BOSTON, August 24 — (UP)
—Outfielder Dom DiMaggio was
the fifth member of the Boston
Red Sox in the navy today. He
has been appointed a coxswain
| in the inshore patrol.
Navy doctors who examined
I the youngest of the DiMaggios
praised his eyesight corrected
with spectacles as "better than
the average person with 20-20
vision."
DiMaggio will play with the
Sox until he is called for ac-
tive duty. Ted Williams and
Johnny Pesky also are await-
ing call to active duty.

Dallas Pitcher
Sets Record In
Baseball Cellar
Appears For 03d Time
In Season's Play
At Monday Game
By United Press
While three were big doings
at the top of the Texas league
standings last night, a record
was broken at the foot of the j
ladder.
Eddie Marleau, Dallas pitch-
er, toed the slab in the ninth
inning as his mates dropped
still another ball game. But
Marleau's brief appearance was '
enough to shatter the league j
record for the number of ga- i
mes in which a pitcher appears j
during a single season.
It was Marleau's 63rd ap-
pearance on the mound this j
season. He tied the old record
two days ago.
At the top of the heap, mean-
while, iSan Antonio took its sec-
ond straight double - header
from Beaumont, while second-
place Shreveport split a pair
with Houston. The Shippeiriead
•now is only two games. flie
Padres wins advanced that club
to fourth spot in the standings.
The Missions won the opener
with a four-run rally in the
eighth. The score was 8 to 4.
In the nightcap, Clarence lott
shut out the Shippers on two
hit. That score was 2 to 0.
Houston won the opener 1
to 3 by whipping out a one-run
sport lead in the tenth inning.
But Shreveport came back, be-
hind Ralph Hamner, to win the
nightcapper 3 to O. It was Ham-
ner's 15th win of the season.
Cliff Chambers pitched Tulsa
to a 6 to 3 victory over Dallas,
allowing the Rebels six hits.
The Oklahoma City at Fort
Worth game was postponed.
ON THK ".Hi WITH
South's Senators
Fighting Move To
Kill Poll Taxes
| WASHINGTON, August 25 —
' .(UP).—Southern senators pre-
pared today for a strong fight
. against legislation abolishing
! poll taxes for servicemen vot-
j ing by absentee ballots in fed-
eral elections, but promised
| there would be no filibuster.
The poll tax question came up
yesterday when Sen. Wayland
Brooks, D., 111., introduced an
amendment to the servicemen's
voting bill to abolish the tax.
Sen. Walter F. George, D., Ga..
immediately insisted on a roll
call which failed to show a
quorum.
Brooks' amendment, strongly
supported by Sen. Claude Pep-
per. D., Fla., delayed action on
the voting bill, already passed
by the house.
Southern opponents of the
amendment, indicating they
would not filibuster, said that
if the measure won senate ap-
proval they would look to the
house to defeat it when the bill
goes back for concurrence in
amendments.
Sen. Tom Conall.v, 1)., Tex.,
who previously threatened to
taiK uown any attempt to repeal
poll taxes, said he also did not
expect to filibuster.
GUERRILLAS
(Continued from page 1)
It was said that a list of the
men marked for death by the
guerrilla leader had been sent
the government here and that
in approving it, the officials
empowered Mikhailovitch to
add the names of any others he
might eppdemn for cooperating
with the axis.
Death lists have been tacked
up in public places in Jugosla-
via by the underground for-
ces.

VOTES
(Continued from page 1)
his resolution by Acting Mayor
B. N. Roberts so as to exclude
specific names discussed, and did
so before leaving.
Copies of a proposed city bud-
get for the fiscal year beginning
in October were studied by mem-
bers of the commission; but ac-j
tion was deferred until the next j
meeting, when a budget will be
adopted, and possibly the year's
tax rate will be set.
An appropriation asked by
the Sweetwater defense
guard ol SI50 and monthly
payment of S50 was voted
on motion ol Commissioner
Henry Marshall, seconded by
Commissioner Lee Langiey.
The county will match the
amounts.
Bids were opened for a resi-
dence owned by the city near
the airport, and an offer of J.
.1. Brock of $126 was accepted.
The structure, along with two
sheds, is to he moved from the
city property.
A proposal for land transfer
in the district covered by the
city's segregation ordinance, in
wliich large landowners in that,
part of town would have a part,
was discussed before the com-
missioners by property holders.
Aftion was left to the individ-
ual land owners, who will at-
tempt to arrive at a transfer
benefiting Mexicans and others
living in the area, with the aid
of the city attorney.
In the matter of the coming
budget, City Manager R. C.
Iloppe stated at the meeting that
he would prefer to stint through
the coining year than to increase^
indebtedness or raise the tax
levy.
Consensus of the commission-
ers w.i- against any new refund-
ing. but it was indicated a slight—
increase in taxes might proy^
necessary.
It was staled that apparently
some citizens were letting their
ad valorem taxes slide in favor
of high and pressing income le^,
vies resulting from the war.
Collections of taxes were giv-
en as 88 per cent, as against
94 per cent last year. Despite
this factor, an expenses increas-
ed by war needs, the city wilW
close the fiscal year with a $15,™
000 surplus, Mr. Hoppe stated.
Attending the session were:
Commissioners Roberts, John-
ston. Langiey and Marshall, with
City Comptroller W. H. Whaley^
and the city attorney.

There's a RIGHT Way
and a WRONG Way
to Fill Your Refrigerator
In these days when you are making fewer trips
to the grocery and are buying in quantities as
a war economy measure, your electric refrig-
erator is called upon to keep larger amounts
of food fresh and wholesome until you are
ready to use them.
By using a little care in placing food in your
refrigerator, you can get more perishables into
its safe, cold interior, and at the same time be
sure that you get the maximum amount of
circulation of cold air to insure their freshness.
Study the diagram illustrated and follow it in
placing food in your refrigerator to get the
best results. Do not put canned goods and
other food items in the refrigerator that will
keep just as well on a pantry shelf, and take
particular care to see that your refrigerator
isn't filled so full that the circulation of cold
air is prevented.

Different foods require different kinds of cold to
piotect them. The above diagram illustrates the
most satisfactory locations for storing foods in the
average refrigerator. Proper arrangement of food
will enable your electric refrigerator to operate
most efficiently. Be careful not to ctowd your
refrigerator so full that free circulation of cold air
is restricted.
