f. Friday. August 20.1948 SPORT SL , BY C Every baseball lover mourned th< death this week of the Sultan oi Swat, Babe Ruth. The hero of everyone and the ido -of kids since the 1920's, the Bambi no passed away Tuesday evening. He left behind some 60 basebal records, some which will probablj never be broken. Other stars may surpass some ol the Bambino's marks but no playei will ever take his place in basebal history. He was a crowd-pleaser, ev erything he did had that "touch' that fans loved to see, He was in there plugging in hi! fight for life against a cancer of th< throat. On Monday he left his bet for a 20-minute session sitting bj his window in a rocker. On Tuesday late in the afternoor P t\e said his prayers and went into a 0^ peaceful sleep, never t<> awaken. i The baseball world will never for W& get the Babe. I ' ?dad? Clarence Myers had a Catch ai City Lake last week that had fish ermen In town talking. On lasi Thursday (Aug. 121 he landed a catfish that measured 25 and three quarters inches long, and weighed 3 pounds/ The,mouth of the fish measured. 7 and one-half inches across. Myers' landed, the whoppei with a rod ahd reel. Many fisher men stated they had never seer such a large catfish. Others went or : record stating they had seen larger but not for a long time. A small minority, of course, said they had caught larger themselves. The "cat' was put on show in front of Joe Lee Woodward's sporting goods store and practically every passer-by stoji ped to look and comment ....-Ned McGill, manager of Alex's Driving Range just out of town on the Gastonia highway, really has a modern golf-driving establishment. Many a rookie and a few "regulars" have tried their hand at practice drives on the new range already. Tolly.Shu ford, Don Blanton, Dad Jackson, and " t ' .

Secretary of Agriculture Charles F. Brannon has proclaimed a 194 national marketing quota for flue-cured tobacco of 1,030,000.000 pounds. The 11 proclamation, made in conformity 'with the Agricultural Adjustment t Act- of 1938, as amended, would resuit in an acreage Increase of appi roximately 5 per cent for most farmI ers. II Converting the poundage quota jo ; acreages, on the hasitv of 1943-47 r I yields, the 1949 acreage allotments '(Will total about 960,000 acres as ' compared with 908.000 acres allott', ed in 1948. ' i Based on the su|>ply and demand isituaton, the new quota reflects . "conservation estimates of the need , for flue-cured tobacco during the , current year," the Department of p Agriculture said. Ij The quota may. be increased as ;' much as 2 per cent at any time up : to March 1, 1949, if the Secretary of 11 Agriculture decides that further >| developments justify Such an in11 cresase, [J : ;? i :?
