Speeding Automobiles Spread Flower Seeds AUSTIN, July 17.—Whizzing mo- tor cars help beautify Texas road- ways. Jack Gubbels, landscape architect for the State Highway Department here, explains. The department pur- chased and planted 50 tons of wild flower seeds along the highways. “There they grow, flower and go to seed, and the suction caused by speeding motor vehicles, especially heavy trucks, spreads the seeds farther along the highways,” Gub- bels says, jor a purchase which would | volve the first baseman.

RIPPER- 3 COLLINS ON THE | BENCH SPORT SLANTS Johnny Mize, the St.Louis Cardi- nals' rookie first-baseman, is pound- ing the ball at a very merry clip for a convalescent. The gigantic youth is confounding skeptical sur- geons who pronounced an opera- tion on the pelvic arch last winter a success but who doubted his abil- ity to regain normal strength and speed without a full season layoff. 'Opposing National League pitchers who have seen. their pet offerings g0 screaming toward the outfield for extra base hits when Johnny connected would be happy to offer testimony to the effect that there is nothing wrong with Mize. Mize, a 6-foot, 3-inch athlete, weighing 210 pounds, is rated one of the best looking progpects to come up in the seniox circuit in |recent years. He's a natural hitter |and gets plenty of distance with his blows. The Cincinnati Reds had a chance to get Mize in the spring of 1935, when they tried him out for a few weeks. When Mize failed to shake off a limp that hampered him the Reds’ management decided 'he was not worth the $55,000 asked }by the Cardinals. So Mize was sent \back to the Cardinals’ farm at Rochester. Dozen Home Runs The injury continued to bother him and he saw service in only 65 I}games. He did prety well at that, |for he hit a dozen home runs and |finished the season with an aver- |age well over the .300 mark. When |the injury failed to clear up Mize [submitted to the operation. This |apparently did the trick. If Mize keeps up at his present lpace he is likely to keep the slug- ging Ripper Collins on the bench. The rookie stepped in when Collins was suffering from a batting slump innd moved along at such a fast |clip that Manager Frankie Frisch | has refused to break up a winning | combination. | Bill Terry, the New York Giants' |pilot, tried hard to get Mize last winter, but the Cardinals turned a deaf ear to his talk of a trade in- have fitted nicely into the Giants' picture. Terry is ready to call it a day as far as his active playing |career is concerned, but before he retires to the dugout he would like to find a capable young first base- man to take his place. At least |three other teams in the National | |League could make good. use of |Mize’s slugging talents. Speed to Burn Mize broke into baseball with Greensboro at_the age of 17. He 'was an outfielder, plenty awkward 'but a powerhouse at the plate, and |with speed to burn on the bases. In 1932 he was sent to Elmira, OPERATION LAST WINTER. FIXED HIM UP AS All Rights Reserved by The Assocsled Prase where he led the N.Y.-P. loop in hitting. His outfield play hadn't improved, so the master minds de- cided to make the most of his slugging by playing him at first base. He reported to Rochester in that' capacity and soon replaced the veteran Art Shores at the initial sack. He showed some improve- ment in fielding his position and ran bases well enough. But it was at the plate that he was a sen-| sation. His big war club battered | down fences in every park in the‘ International League through the| 1933 season, and established him as| one of the greatest natural hitters | in the minors. i B Youth Stops Ca: !
