swims. And across Florida to
Lakeland, land of a thousand lakes
(we believe it every bit), drinking
gallons of orange juice at signs
marked “Orange juice, all you
want, 10c.” We saw oranges be
ing picked—by the acre upon acre
upon acre.
All along our agricultural
minded husbands were observing
farming conditions, methods and
potentialities, checking the
equipment, ocularly testing the
soil, asking farmers along the
way about land prices and farm
ing conditions.
We saw Tampa and Panama
City. At the latter place we pulled
in one evening about dusk to ask
about cabin vacancies when a car
pulled to a screeching halt behind
us and its driver fell out of his
car and around to the window of
ours asking breathlessly “Are you
really from Texas A&M College?”
He was, of course, an Aggie and
he had seen our sticker. He and
pur husbands held old Aggie week
while my friend and I cooled our
feet in the Atlantic.
And homeward, though not quite
home yet. Through Mobile where
we picked up several boxes of
pecan pralines, lotion on our sun
burns and some information all
in one stop at a roadside stand of
a typical gentleman of the Old
South.
“Shelling pecans,” he told us,
‘‘nothing to it. I’ll tell you a sec
ret. If you want to pick out pecans
in a hurry and all in perfect
halves, pour •some boiling water
over your pecans, leave them 20
seconds and presto, the job is al
most done.”
We haven’t tried it yet, but plan
to.
We hit the towns of Biloxi and

of the day and wondered what
people found there to talk about,
but under different circumstances
we probably would have been de
lighted with what we found.
New Orleans was the land of
story-book charm—from every
way we took it. Once there, we
called the parents of some close
friends of ours, people we’d also
met at Aggieland. They—the Da
leys said for us to come on out.
We went expecting to get some
firsthand advice on where to
stay, where to eat, what to see.
We got a genuine firsthand ac
count of Southern hospitality. Bed
rooms were ready for us—at the
Daleys and their daughter and
son-in-law, Marilyn and Jake Eas-
tin. They gave us our meals— and
they showed us New Orleans. .
We saw the antique shops on
Royal Street and the Night Clubs
on Bourbonn. We saw places like
A maud’s and Antoines and Court
of the Three Sisters and Interna
tional Club and Pat O’Briens. We
went to Hotel Roosevelt’s Blue
Room and up and down Canal St.
we shopped—window shopped, that
is—in places that had hitherto
been just names. We saw the city
parks and cathedrals, the ceme
teries, the bridges. We saw the
completely old blended with the
completely new and we came back
believing all the travel folders and
all the chamber of commerce hulla
baloo that there’s no place on earth
like New Orleans. We nibbed el
bows at French Quarters over cof
fee and doughnuts with men from
the docks and debutantes, and mil
lionaires and waifs.
Then we—best of all, indeed—
came home again.
We had seen America at work
and America at play—in as large
a dose as we could possibly take
in a two week vacation. We have
renewed confidence, renewed faith
and renewed vigor!

3.5 Games in Front of Pack
Chicago Lead Still Intact
After Split With Yankees
By Associated Press
Those battling Chicago White
Sox are making believers of their
opponents—team by team, manag
er by manager.
Now it’s New York and Manager
Casey Stengel singing the praises
of the spectacular Sox.
“Maybe we’ve been worrying
about the wrong fellers,” muttered
Stengel after Chicago had clawed
its way back to a 5-4 victory in
the second game of a vital double
header yesterday with the Yank
ees. The Bombers won the open
er, 11-9, and appeared on the way
to a sweep of the twin bill. They
led, 3-1, after seven innings of the
nightcap.
So instead of slicing two games
off the White Sox’ first place lead,
the Yankees wound up just where
they started—trailing by three and
a half games. No matter what the
result of single games today and
tomorrow, the hot Sox will leave
New York still pacing the Ameri
can League.
“It looks like we’re going to
have to beat Chicago, rather than
Boston and Cleveland, for the pen
nant,” declared Casey.
Fans Convinced of Prowess
The jam-packed throng of 60,441,
eager for a good look at pilot Paul
Richards’ rockets, agreed with
Stengel. The fans went away con
vinced that the Sox were no acci
dents.
Indeed, not many in the vast
crowd, gave Chicago much of a
chance as the Sox came to bat
against ace Vic Raschi in the
eighth, trailing 3-1. But those nev-
er-say-die visitors had other ideas.
Pinch hitter Floyd Baker slap
ped a single to center. Nelson
Fox lined one to right and Eddie
Stewart hammered a home run into
the right field stands. Without an
out being made, the Sox had
forged in front, 4-3.
But the Yanks hadn’t given up
either. Singles by Phil Rizzuto,
Gene Woodling and pinch hitter
Johnny Mize in their half of the
eighth tied the count against Ran
dy Gumpert, who had replaced
starter Joe Dodson.
Again the Sox went to work.
Jim Busby singled in the ninth and
raced to third on a one-bagger by
Phil Mask. Allie Reynolds re
placed Raschi and yielded a two-
bagger to pinch hitter Bob Dil-
linger. That scored Busby with
the winning run. Howie Judson
set the Yanks down in order in the
ninth but the victory went to Gum-
pert, who now has won seven with
out a defeat.
Seven Hurlers Used
In the first game, seven pitch
ers took part, four for the winning
Yankees. They surrendered a to
tal of 27 hits, 15 by the Yankees
including three-run homers by Yo
gi Berra and Mickey Mantle.
Boston’s third place Red Sox ad
vanced to within five games of the
top as Chuck Stobbs limited the
Cleveland Indians to four hits and
beat them, 9-2. Ted Williams
paced a 14-M.t attack against loser
Bob Lemon and two successors
with his 14th homer and two sing
les. Luke Easter accounted for
both Cleveland runs with a homer
in the ninth.
Joost, Zernial Homer
Homers by Eddie Joost and Gus
Zernial helped the Philadelphia
Athletics trip the Detroit Tigers,
9-5.
The St. Louis Browns combined
seven .safeties and five Washing
ton errors for enough runs to whip
the Senators 4-1.
The Cincinnati Reds rallied for
four runs in the ninth but fell one
short as the Brooklyn Dodgers
walked off with a 5-4 triumph un
der the lights.
New York’s . Giants remained
five and a half games behind, ek
ing out a 2-1 victory over the S
Louis Cardinals in a game limited
to eight innings by rain. Hank
Thompson drove in both New York
runs.
Willie Jones hit his 12th and
13th homers, one with the bases
loaded to lead the Philadelphia
Phillies to a 9-2 triumph over
Pittsburgh.
Bob Rush hurled a 3-0 victory
for Chicago over Boston as the
Brave’s manager, Billy South-
worth, bowed out in favor of Tom
my Holmes.

Ag Tracksters
Leave for Meet
In California
Bernarr Place, Bill Bless
and Bob Hall, top Aggie
trackmen left yesterday for
Berkeley, Calif, where they
will compete in the National
AAU meet in that city Friday and
Saturday.
The three speedsters will be
joined later in the week by Dar-
row Hooper who is already in Cal
ifornia. Hooper remained there
after last week’s win at Seattle,
Wash, in the National Collegiate
track and field events.
Hooper, on the strength of his
victory in the shot at the Seattle
meet, will be a favorite to cop the
same title in California. He topped
the weight stars with a toss of
53-11 to edge Parry O’Brien, USC,
by one inch.
Place, one of the top quarter
milers of the Southwest Confer
ence, will be competing in the . 400
meter race.
Hall and Bless will compete in
the 200 meter low hurdles at Bei’-
keley. Hall is holder of the SWC
record in the low hurdles and Bless
is the record holder of the South
west AAU 220 meter low timbers.
The four Aggies, at top strength,
should put A&M, as a team, close
to the top in team standings. In
last week’s meet at Seattle, Hoop
er and Davis totalled 17 points
between them to put the Aggies
in 8th place among the teams
represented.
Open Swim Meet

The College Station Open Swim
ming Championships, open to com
petitors from all over the state,

mediate group, ranging in ages
fyopi 16 to 13, and the senior

tors older than, sixteen years.
Co. A Blanks C, 7-0;
D ’sRallyNipsB, 6-5
By TOM ROUNTREE
Battalion Sports Staff
Company A cinched a portion
of second place in the freshman
softball league and gave themselves
a shot at sharing the first place
position with B Squadron by beat
ing C Company 7-0 yesterday
afternoon.
The A Co. pitcher, Bonzell,
gave up only one hit in the five
innings of play to down the Dog
gies.
Bill Ard, C Company pitcher,
just couldn’t seem to control the
hall as he gave up seven walks
and three hits. The Birdmen scored
two of their runs with men who
had gotten on base with walks and
were forced on home by other
walks.
D Rallies For Win
Groundlings of D Company
staged a last minute rally to win
their game with B Squadron 6-5
in the bottom of the fifth inning.
The game was a pitcher’s duel
between Gonzales of B Sqdn. and
Walton of D. Co. but the credit
for the win goes to Doggie third
baseman Bob Davis who came
through with a two bagger just
when the D Men needed it the
most.
D Co. center fielder Bramley
had gotten on base in the bottom
of the fifth on a walk and then
Davis came up and got his first
hit for four tries and blasted out
the two bagger that scored the
winning run.
Dorm 15 Trips ’Sips
A much improved Texas Geolo
gist team bowed to Dorm 15 in
their non-military softball league
game 4-1. Losing pitcher Harry
Smith gave up only one hit in
seven innings but an error by the
Rockcrusher’s short and three ill
chosen fielder’s choices spelled the
difference between victory and de
feat for the boys from “40 Acres.”
Winning pitcher Rudy Almaguer
gave up only two hits and struck
out eight men in the course of the
game.
16 Leads NM Loop
Dorm 16 took over the first
place position in the non-military
softball league by downing the Vet
Villager’s 12-8. The Dorm 16 troop
ers staged a last inning rally and
literally blasted VV pitcher G. H.
Bunch out of the box putting 5
runs across—bing, bing, bing, bing
and bing! Losing pitcher was Don
Aviles.
In the only volleyball game sche
duled, Milner dropped two fast
games to Walton 15-0 and 15-10.

You might have a ruined cargo

Inflation gnaws away at the value of your
dollar. It happens when there’s more money
than the things it can buy ... and you and
your neighbors compete for these few goods.
That increases prices—decreases the value of
your dollar. Let’s act before this happens —or
even prices of necessities may be out of reach.
The danger of inflation is already her el
But it needn’t get worse as more peacetime
goods get scarce. We can stop inflation—if
all of us voluntarily follow the rules below.
