Transportation May
Cause Fuel Shortage
Winter fuel pinches may not be
confined to oil-burner users in the
eaat, for war's extraordinary de
mands on transportation make it
quite possible there'll be some cases
of coal shortage, too. So, household
economy with respect to all fuels
undoubtedly will be emphasized as
never before. The American Society
of Heating and Ventilating Engineers
is rounding up "the answers" to all
questions on the subject for a gov
ernment pamphlet. It adds its strong
recommendation to that of Petrol
eum Co-ordinator Ickes, about con
verting, and also urges check-ups of
all insulation and the installation of
storm windows or other forms of
double-glass protection. Regarding
the latter, it has been discovered that
storm windows, under proper con
ditions, will save between IS and 30
per cent of a household's fuel bill
for a winter, a finding confirmed
by members of the heating engin
eers society. They add that the bas
ic requirement for fuel economy is
a properly conditioned heating plant.
Income
Cash income from American farm
marketings totaled $1,059,000,000 in
June as compared with $933,000,000
in May and $773,000,000 in June of
1941, reports the U. S. Department
of Agriculture.

Crippled Martins
Trim Dodgers In
Thrilling Tilt, 7-5
In Wednesday's nightcap, the crip
pled Martins trimmed the Dodgers
in a thriller to the tune of a 7-5 score
as some timely hitting on the part
of the winners, especially Reg Simp
son, and secret strategy by Gene
Kimball, collaborated to give the
Martins a much-needed triumph.
With John Hardy and Harcom
Grimes both out of town, Kimball
was at the helm of the Martins, and
had the boys hustling, despite the
fact they never had more than nine
men on the field at a time.
The Martins scored a couple of
times in the first as D. Cobb singled
and was sacrificed to second and
scored on Kimball's single, the lat
ter going to third on a deflected
throw-in from the field. The second
run came in as Kimball tallied after
Pittman's outfield fly. The Martins
added another in the third as Reg
Simpson singled and went to sec
ond on another single by D. Cobb,
Simpson counting on the outfielder's
error of Cobb's single.
The Dodgers scored a trio of runs
in the first. Wobbleton, their lead
off man, parked a pitch over the left
field fence for a home run. Boy km
then singled, moved to second on H.
Wynne's single and scored on a field
er's choice, Wynne going to third.
Lassiter then singled to score Wynne.
In the fourth the Dodgers broke a
3-all tie as they counted once on
Thrower's double and an error on
Wobbleton's grounder.
With defeat staring them in the
face after being unable to score in
three consecutive innings, the Mar
tins went to work in the first of the
seventh. Pittman singled, and went
to second on a one-base hit by Wa
ters, where the former was called
out for being off the bag. Then Puff
Hoyle hit a single to move Waters up
to the keystone sack and both moved
up a base on another single, this one
by Billy Peele. With the bases jam
med, and two men out, Reg Simp
son came up and drove out a tre
mendous triple to empty the sacks,
and Reg scored on some erratic han
dling of the ball.
The Dodgers rallied for one run
in their half of the seventh, but the
Martins soon saw to it that no furth
er scoring was done, as they nipped
the rally.
The winners were paced by Cobb
and Simpson, the former having two
for four and the latter two for three.
Boykin and Lassiter each had
three for four to lead the losers,
while G. Wynne hit two for three
to account for eight of the thirteen
hits that the losers could convert in
to only five runs

Cardinals Tighten
Their Grip on Top
Honors In League
Playing Field Was Moved Due
To the "Atmospheric
Conditions"
The Cardinals tightened their grip
on first place a notch by setting the
fourth-place Braves down, 5-2. in
the first game of Wednesday's twin
bill. After allowing the losers a pair
of runs in the first half of the first
inning, the league leaders held the
Braves well in hand throughout the
remainder of the contest, as they
kept them from crossing the plate
Due to the wet condition of the
regular diamond, a temporary one
was laid off in deep ceriterfield, giv
ing the players a chance to perform
on an exclusive grass infield. Ex
cept for one or two bobbles, play
was about as good as usual.
Hoke Roberson. the first Brave up.
walked, and went to third on a dou
ble by Jule Harrell, and Roberson
scored on a sacrifice fly . by Rev
Goff. Harrell then came loping home
on a rousing triple by Vernon Bunt
ing; who was thrown?mtt~nt~hamer
trying to stretch it into a four-bag
ger. This concluded the afternoon's
scoring for the Braves.
The Cards scored once in the first
as Parson Piephoff walked, stole
second, went to third on an error
and tallied on C. T. Roberson's sin
gle. They added another in the third
to tie up the content at 2-all. This
was accomplished as Stalls went to
second on an error. Woolard's sin
gle moved him to third and Roger
Criteher's single furnished him trans
portation on home The Cards sewed
up the game with three unearned
runs in the sixth. With one out,
Critcher went to second on an error.
Piephoff grounded out. and then
Fitzgerald singled to score Roger
with the winning run. Fit/, then stole
second and scored as C. T. Roberson
was safe on an error. Roberson went
to second on a wild pitch and came
scampering home on Shelbon Hall's
base hit. James Manning then singl
ed hut was left on first.
For the losers, ole man Julian Har
rell was the only player having more
than one hit, as he continued to keep
the opposition guessing as to where
his Texas leaguers are going to drop.
Jule had two for three H. Roberson
and J. Griffin each had one for two.
The winners were led at bat by
James Manning (Sr.) with two for

for two, thus running his total num
