Baseball League., are rest­ing today in first place in the League stand­ings. Paced by the sensational batting of Walt Pashuk and Dick Sabey the locals have swept all opposition aside in their quest for top honors in the league again this year. The Eagles opened the League here on May 25 when they downed the New Dayton nine by a 7 to 1 count, Jim Blumel pitched brilliant four hit ball, while striking out 13 to gain a victory in his first assignment. Oh May 28 in Warner the locals made it two straight when they downed the Elks 13 to 1. Pashuk on the mound allowed only 6 hits while fanning 10, The Wrentham Arctic Bears was the Eagles third victim on June 1st going down to a 3 to 1 defeat. Jimmy Blumel and Walt Pashuk combined to set the visitors down with 5 hits while fanning 5. In an exhibition game played in Cardston last week the Magrath nine went on a scoring spree to defeat the Maple Leafs 16 to 5. A big second inning spelled defeat for the Cardston team as the Eagles sent 17 men to the plate where they chalked up 13 runs on 11 hits 1 walk and 3 errors. Balderson, who started on the mound for Magrath worked well and should become an outstanding pitcher. We have a top ranking team in town this year, so come out and give them your support. The League Champions this year will be given a cup and there is also one for the Tournament winner, which was held last year, on Aug. 18 in Magrath. The league is also donating a cup each to the League’s; leading batter, the home-run-king the most valuable player; and the outstanding pitcher. Players must participate in at least two thirds of the league games to be eligible for these awards. T-Bone Steak, a lb. 45$ Loin Steak, a lb. 45.

The cause is a low temperature fungus which attacks and rots the crowns of the dormant plants beneath the snow at the time of the first thaw in the late winter or early spring. There is no really ef­fective control measure for winter crown rot. The one hope of the future is for the development of resistant varieties, and a breeding program is in progress towards that objective. Winter crown rot damage may be reduced by maintaining forage crops in a vigorous condition. Avoid late fall cutting, frequent cutting and close pasturing. When a field is plowed up because of severe damage it should not be seeded to forage crops until all of the old diseased roots are complet­ely decayed. With alfalfa this usually requires at least two years. __________ ___________W. P. Budget. ______________ Mrs. Collett is the guest of her daughter, Mrs. Bryon Meldrum and Mr. Meldrum.
