The Cincinnati Reds bombarded the Phillies. Frank McCormick hom- ered with the bases loaded and Har- ry Craft hit a homer with two aboard.

BASKETBALL FEUD RAGES Ungers and Allens fo Fight Perhaps Unfil Run Out of Brothers DENVER, Col, May 8 — Like the “reckless mountain boy of the popular ditty, it looks as though the Ungers and the Allens will be a- feudin’ on the basketball court until they run out of brother. The Unger brothers—they have six to choose from—and the Allens they have seven—are all even now, 1-1 The Unger clan won the first cage encounter hbetween the warring brothers from opposite sides of town last year, 48-33. Some thought the Allens couldn’t come back, but they did recently, 41-28. = The Allens merely -faced when someone asked if it were true they had been practicing ever since they lost last year. : The families plaved as though they meant it. Carl Allen was cuat and bleeding when he was bounced off the brick wall back of one bas- ket. Harold Unger came out of a melee with a charleyhorse that looked as though someone had tied a bowknot in His leg. Joe Allen was piled into a woman spectator’s lap. The Ungers range in age from Bob, 16, to Claence, 33; the Allens from Roy, 15, to Lee, 34. Although they have fewer players than the Allens, the Ungers have Sister An- netta to lead the cheering. So may- be it's even CANADA'S DEBT FOR YEAR SET AT 55 MILLION OTTAWA, May 6.—Finance Min- ister Charles A. Dunning estimated in his annual budget message to the House of Commons that Can- ada would have an over-all deficit of '$55,666,000 for the fiscal year 1938-39, which ended March 31 He estimated that final returns would show revenues of $501,877- 000-—against expenditures of $557.- 343.000. which includes an estimat- ed $25000,000 less on the guaran- teed wheat price. Dunning said spending for armar ments had “so far played a minor part in Canada's economic life” and that an economic revival in Canada had been more natural than else- where | Previous estimates of expenditures were exceeded, the finance minis- ter said, “because of the disappoint- ing poor earnings of the govern- ment-owned railway system and the prospective losses in wheat market- ing,” which he placed arbitrarily at |$25,000.000 not wishing to disclose |to world speculators the wheat sales and holdings. The net national debt on March |31, 1939, was estimated at $3,157.- 1334.000 Joe YER SAYIN' SENSE, SISTER!

And so it is with the | baseball clubs. What they don't| raise they still have to buy, or bar- | ter fo But they’re all trying to raise diversified crops these d: Owners have found that it is a precaricus practice, and expensive, te to buy themselves a pen- nant. Prices on established stars are sky high. Owners never can tell whether their new hired help ‘will come up with sore arms or other aiflments. Moreover, some- times the pla they need can’t be ' bought at any price. Catch 'Em Young So, taking a tip from Brach Rick- ey, they're all building up farm s tems where they can catch ISP young—and cheap—-train ‘em bring 'em along to the Big when they're needed. The St. Louis Cardinals of the National League got the jump. on the others in farm building and Rickey's club still has the largest chain. (Maybe we shouldn’t men- tion that their chain-gang of play- ers didn't do 'em much good last year, when they finished sixth.) The Cardinals had 33 clubs in their chain la. ar, but have r duced to 25 this season. The idea is to gradually move the youngsters up from Class D on through to Class AA, allowing them to get ex- perience every year in a faster eague. The major-league farms are of two types—those owned by the ma- jors and these: with which the majors have working agreemenis. In most cases of the latter type the majors furnish funds or players to the minor-league clubs and in re- turn are given'first chance at any promising players, Cubs Own Ne Farms It gives the majors a place to put their rookies out for seasoning and also enables them to get likely look- ers at a fair price without having to bid in open market. The Chicago Cubs, National league | champions, own ne minor-league clubs, but have working agreements with Milwaukee of the American | asscciation and Moline of ‘the |'Three-I league. Larry MacPhail helped build a farm system for the Cincinnati Reds, faverites to win the 1939 pen- nant, and since taking charge at |Brooklyn he has enlarged the | Dodgers’ chain. | So, it's back to the farm for the | TS | and Show |owners when replacements are needed. -~ { A hen producing 200 eggs a year (requires only approximately ten | |per cent more feed than one pro-| ducgng only 100, | nice.week. . .
