ALTADENA. Calif. (API ? The

little for their zoological shows,
but they get lots of entertainment
The show generally starts at dusk
when four or five furtive raccoons
steal onto the sanitarium grounds
and look for the bounty of food
that the patients leave for them.
If the menu is not to their lik
ing. the raccoons sample the food
next door. If the raccoons want
more food, the patients open their
cookie or candy boxes.
After the handout, the little

hill, and the evening show is over
Mandatory Gasoline
MASONTOWN. Pa. (AP) ? Thb
western Pennsylvania town Is goinr
to have bigger gasoline bills, all
because some councilman thought
the police department was using
too much gas already.
Council men objected when they
learned the two patrol cars used
00 gallons of gas in 17 days. But
John Nagy.' the Burgess, thought
differently when he figured the
rate of consumption was only about
two gallons a day.
Narv ordered police officers tc
use five or six gallons a day se
the town can be patrolled adequate
ly. He declared:
"And if the men don't lisp that
much in their patrols, I'll fire
them!"

The No. 4 wood has wone more
golf tournaments than anything.
It's the club that drops the ball
onto the green much softer than a
i No. 2 iron.
Byron Nelson is about the only
golfer who could feather the ball
onto a green with a 2 iron.
The 4 wood Is simpler to use.
The average player should leave
his 2 iron at home.
There's more hitting area to a
4 wood.
When the overage golfer hits
back of the ball with a 2 iron he'll
top the boll. But with the 4 wood
he will get off more good shots
because when he hits behind the
ball the sole of the clubbed will
skid along the grass and into the
ball.
An estimated 9.500 acres of
watermelons will be harvested in
North Carolina this year that bo
tan in the Gibson-Laurinburg-Rae
ford area about July 14.

Chicago White So*
My greatest thrill in baseball
came up in the press box of Yankee
Stadium last Aug. 25.
That was the day the official ^
scorer changed a "hit" to an eiTor
and I won my second no-hit game
of the season?and of my lifetime.
I was pitching for the Petroit
Tigers then.
1 had pitched a no-hitter against
Washington earlier, and that, too.
was a thrill. But the one against
the New York Yankees was the
best.
Phil Rizzuto hit a bouncer to
Johnny Pesky at short in the third
and Johnny juggled the ball. His
throw bounced to first too late to
get Rizzuto.
The scorer called it a hit right
away. I didn't think it was. my
self, but who was I to criticize?
1 just went ahead and pitched a
one-hitter like it said on the score
board.
I guess the writers up in the
press box were divided on the scor
ing of the play, though. And when
we came to bat in the seventh in
ning the scorer called Pesky on
the dougout telephone.
Pesky said it was an error.
Johnny said he had "messed up"
the play.
So the scorer changed the "hit"
to an error and I was back pitch
ing a no-hit game again.
We got a run in the seventh, the jtn
only one of the game. I knew 1 had
a job to do when I went out to the
mound. I got through the seventh
and eighth all right, but things <?
really got tight in the ninth.
I though Mickey Mantle would
bunt, but he was trying for the big
one and I struck him out on a fast
ball. It was the fastest one I throw
in the game.
Joe Collins and Hank Bauer hit ^
me hard, but Johnny Groth caught
Collins' liner in center and A1 Fed
erofT made a nice play on Bauet*s
grounder at second and threw him
out.
That was my biggest thrill. A
1-0 no-hitter against the world
champions after it looked like it
was gone.
Midgets Finish
Excellent Season
The Midget Baseball team of the
Little League completed theli ?
schedule with two teams tied foi
first place division?the Independ
ents and Underwoods, each hav
ing five victories and two losses.
The final games saw Ford win
over Underwoods by a 16 to 7
score, as the Independents romped
Sinclair in a 20 to 10 score.
The season standings were:
Team W L
Independents 5 -2
Underwoods 5 2
Ford 4 3
Sinclair 0 1
League officials said there would
not be a play-off. and the season
had ended as far as the Midgets
were concerned.
There are more than 4 f>QD
Grade A dairies in North Carolina

tured milk producers. . '
