YOUNG GAMECOCK IS TRUE TO
HIS CITY
Clifford «Pat> Crawford, pinch
h.acr extraordinary cf the New
York Giants, lives at Sumter. S. C ,
proudly known as the ‘ Gamecock
City." In his first year in a major
league, young Crawlord is living up
to the truest tradition of his city.
Pir.ch hitting is not easy in base
ball.
A pinch hitter goes in "cold" alt
er sitting throughout the afternoon
cn the bench and the advantage is
all in favor of the pitcher. With
i two-thirds of the season before him.
Crawford has tied two major
league records of all time and prob
ablv will make some on his own ac
count before the curiam is rung
down. There is no more courage
ous fowl than a gamecock.
Pat. who was a football and
baseball star at Davidson college, in
his first 23 games for the Giants
' ccnfir.ed his activities entirely to
pinch hitting. He walked twice and
drove out one sacrifice fly, being
| charged with 23 games at bat. He
made right safe hits, scored seven
runs and batted in 14 runs. H:s
, hits included three home runs and
a double. One of the home runs
came with the bases filled, the
i double cleared bases populated to
their fullest capacity and another
hemer found two on the base? to
■score ahead of the great pinch
slueger.
No pinch hitter in a season has
• hit more than three home runs.
Crawford goes into a tie with Ham
Hyatt, who hit three for Pittsburgh
in 1913: Ray Caldwell whose efforts
were effective for the Highlanders.
| now the Yankees, in 1915: Elmer
Smith, playing for Cleveland in
1916 and Pat Collins for St. Louis
in 1922.
Four pinch hitters have swatted
home runs with the bases filled,
Beals Becker in 1910. Marty Kav
anaugh in 1916. Joe Connolly in
• 1923 and Cy Williams in 1926.

NOT BAD GOLF—FOR A GIRL
The ladies are forever up and do
* ing. One by one they have toppled
the guard rails and straved into
the pastures once reserved for their
lords and masters. Now comes Vir
ginia Wilson of Chicago to romp
around a golf course in 71 strokes,
every putt holed and everything ac
cording to custom She was bur
dened at the time with the strain
of forma! competition, for her name
led all the rest at the invitation
S tournament of the Allegheny coun
I try club at Pittsburgh.
This sets a record for all time
Glenna Collett ar.d Joyce Wethered
are credited with a pair of 72 s. but
; their glory came not in tourna
! ments. Miss Collett added a 73
last winter in Florida and Maureen
Orcutt had a round of the same
figure a bit later.
The course at Allegheny is 5.996
yards and has a woman’s par of
79 In scoring her record round
Miss Wilson gathered 10 birdies
She was out in 35 and home in 36
. Four rounds like that would take
the National onen in a walk.

COLLEGE STATION. Tex , June
29 —»-? —If the objects of a research
program now under way in south
western Texas and northern Mexico
are realized, the pink boil worm's
menacing shadow may be swept off
the agricultural horizon.
Six experts have undertaken one
of the most camprehenshe studies
of this cotton ravager ever con
ducted in the south. Hitherto un
known facts on the life and habits
of the worm are sought m labora
tories. experimental gardens and
research cages.
Thousands of infested bolls ha\*e
been gathered for examination by
leaders in the cooperative project
between the experiment sta'icn of
the Agricultural and Mechanical
college cf Texas and thp bureau of
entomology. United States depart
ment of agriculture.
From two focal points cn the
Mexican border. El Paso and Presi
dio. investigators are working
•hrough thousands of acres in the
trail -Pecos region and into the
Lagwna district of Mfxico. They
a-e .eekir.g especially to learn facts
on the boll worm's natural mortal
ity. an^ when plowing and irrigation
should be practiced to effect the
greatest destruction of hibernating
j worms.
In addition to studies of the boll
' worm's damage to cotton, all plants
related to cotton are being tested
in experimental gardens to deter
mine if the worms .will infest them
Possibility of the spread of moths
by flight ha:, been tested jn con
nection with their migration. Air
planes fitted w.th special box-like
traps have been used to learn if the
moths, whose eggs hatch into the
destructive larvae, will travel in the
upper o:r currents
It has been found that moths fre
quently transport themselves from
Mexico into the Texas field'.
Result* of this series of experi
ments. which will continue until all
desired facts are obtaired. are to
be used in establishing quarantines
and regulatory measures on which
eradication work may be based.
Dr. F. A Fenton, federal ento
1 mclogist. is in direct charge of the

• In the event the tourist canno.

‘ In the event any tourist is id

Educational Measures In
House And Senate
Are Debated
AUSTIN, June 29—< P—While
the house and senate haggled over
whether to make the educational
appropriation bill S17.000.000 or
$16,500,000. Governor Moody sits to
his executive office sharpening his
blue pencil.
The $500,009 difference between
th» two houses is one per cent of
the total sum he will be obligated
to pass cn in considering appro
priation bills.
He has it figured that the state
revenue for the biennium will not
be more than $49,000,000. and In
addition to the $50 000.000 worth of
major appropriations there are
three or four additional rrfUlions
appropriate in piece-meal for Sun
dry things.
The governor is conjecturing now
whether the bills are in such shape
that he can do a job of carving and
put them within the state's revenue,
or if he merely should send the
whole sheaf back and call a third
session
Mary believe that the house and
senate will decide on an educa
tional bill, whether $16.500 000 or
$17,000,000. rather than have anyone
other than the governor shoulder
the responsibility of a third ses
sion
Special Session
There will be a special session
next winter—probablv two—when
the commission erpated under a
bill passed during this session to
malm a survey, with reference to
concentrating and relocating the
penitentiary system, will report its
findings
At that session, the governor will
resubmit regulation of public utili
ties and the principal of relieving
farms and homes of the ad valorem
tax through an income tax. In the
meantime he likely will take the
rump to advise the-people of needs
cf legislation on the two sublets.
With the 41st legislature already
having been in session more than
four of the six months of this year,
many members would like to go
heme for five or six months before
having to rr*um to Austin.
I' stems assured now that \hr
legislaiuie will make a levy of lour
cents per gallon cn gasoline used
on the highways and reduce the
pr?ser.t schedule of registration fees
cn privately owned passenger auto
mobiles 50 per cent, ihe house
passed a four cent gasoline tax
bill and cut the registration fees
30 per cent, but the senate substi
tuted f e measures a corr.t:
naticn pas tax and rgistration fee
bill fixing the tax at four cents end
cutting the existing registration
fees cn nasreneer cars in half
Favor Senal- Plan
House sentiment is in favor of
the senate's plan, insofar as the
amount of th» tax and registration
reduction ar? concerned There
was a considerable •'bloc** over
there that wanted this arrangement
they w ill get it.
In fact th" advocate^ of the four
cent raschne tax end 39 per cert
registration fe- reduction admit
now that they had not hoped to gr*
more than what the senate seems
likely to offer. They were appre
hensive the senate would not con
sider mere than a three cent gaso
line tax The highway department
will receive much more revenue un
der a four cent gasoline tax and a
50 per cent reduction in reei'tra -
tion fees than it would with a
three cent gasoline tax and a 3t
per cent cut in registration.
