Probably most eyes are being focused on Kirksvilie, where John Bpainhower's Tigers are preparing for bhe 1959 season with high hopes of a fourth consecutive title The Tigers, however, took a beating from the graduation process. Eighteen senior lettermen are gone, including nine of the 11 starters on last year's team Back are end Ron Mikel and quarterback Ed Kelly. Twelve lettermen are returning to bolster the black and orange.

One of these is a junior, one a sophomore and 10 are seniors. Among the bright prospects for the Tigers is sophomore quarterback Gary (Skip) Grossmckle, who may take over that spot, leaving Kelly available for duty elsewhere in the backfield. Eighty-eight boys, i i eighth and ninth graders, have reported for drills at KHS, according to Spainhower and his as- shrp or consolation for each flight.

Lloyd Machholz Among Former Ball Players Honored by Town Lloyd Machholz of Chillicothe was among the former Burlington, baseball players honored at an '-Old Timers' Night" last Thursday. All had played pro or semipro ball for Burlington in the last 50 years and Machholz was one of the youngest. One of the stunts of the game was to bring the "old timers" to the diamond hi a 1914 Chalmers. The exhibition with the Burlington Bees was three innings and ended in a scoreless tie. The Bees then played a regulation game with Appleton.

Both Burlington and Appleton are members of bhe widely known Three-I League. Machholz was offered a major league contract with Detroit in the when he was a sophomore in high school. When he was graduated from high-school he signed with St. Louis, took part in spring training and was assigned to play at Mitchell, Dak During the spring training, he started as a shortstop and wound up as a catcher "with about a broken arm." Machholz recalled that his baseball salary was a magnificent a month and after a few days In Dakota he decided to seek his future in other fields. He went back to a job he already had and from then on earned his living as a salesman and added on- the fun of playing semipro ball.

He was with Burlington--his home town--in 1939 and 1940 seasons when the team played in the then Mississippi Valley League Machholz has played semipro ball for Burlington Keokuk, Das Moines, St. Joseph and other places and once played ball in the Canal Zone.

Drysdale Now Being Rated As Baseball's Best Pitcher doesn't Cards, A's Both Drop One-Run Night Contests By The Associated Press The St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City's Athletics both dropped another ball game last night, the Cards losing 2-1 to the Phillies and the A's 5-4 to Boston's Red Sox.

A seventh inning single by Eit- chie Ashburn scored the winning run at Philadelphia. Rookie Bob Miller took the loss. The victory went to Jim Owens The Cards scoied their only run in the sixth when Joe Cunningham singled, took third on a double by Gene Olivei, and came home on a grounder by Cui Flood. The Kansas City Athletics disappointed the last night when they lost 5-4 to the Boston Red Sox. Gene Stepen's sacrifice fly scored Frank Malzone with the winning run in the'ninth inning.

The Red Sox sent Kansas City starter Johnny Kucks to the showers in the second inning. Kucks yielded two runs in the first and left after giving up four straight singles in the second that were good for two more runs. Tom Brewer had a one-hit shutout thiough fivmg innings. Then, four hits, including a triple by Preston Ward, a base on balls and an error sent across three Athletic tuns and sent Brewer out of the contest Russ Snyder greeted reliever Mike Fionielcs with a double which tied the score. i MI' nn i want ads pay CANT WAIT--When their equipment failed to arrive on time members of fihe United States basket- bftll team in the Pan-American Games in Chicago worked out In street clothes at the nearby Glenview Naval Air Station.

The Fan-American CMffiM ran Jrom Aug. to Sept By MURRAY OLDERMAN XEA Staff Correspondent ST LOUIS (NEA) Don Drysdale's shirt was wet from working at Busch Stadium, and trudging along behind him enrome to the Los Angeles lockers, in a clean unifoim, was Art Fowler.

"There," drawled Fowler, '-goes my meal ticket" When Dxysdale starts for the Dodgers, I'owler rarely works relief. When Drysdale start, Fowler isn't likely to toil Because in the late innings of a tight game, Walter Alston is prone to signal to the six-foot-six right- hander. Until belted out in the opening innmg Chicago Hie och- ei afternoon, Drysdale had won 10 of his last 11 starts, including seven in a row. He had six consecutive complete games. Drysdale is now rated the most formidable pitcher in baseball.

Against any batter, at any given moment, in any given game, ths collar ad from Van Nuys is the best bet to deliver the big out Just like he did the other night against the He threw exactly 100 pitches, got to a three-ball count on only two batters in the nine innings. "He has control," veteran reliever Clem Labine was' saying. He always had it. That's why they brought him up so Drysdale was pitching National League baseball before he was 20. He's 23 now.

"Don." continued Labine, "can throw the slow cuive. You know most pitchers got to go to it only after the fast one is gone because they have no choice." The difference between the current Drysdale and the faltering 12-13 hurler of last year is finesse. Early this season, he faced Wes Covington of Milwaukee with men on base. threw Covington a change-up. Covington looked at the slow pitch Drysdale threw another.

Wes let it, pass again for strike Uo. With the nerve of a burglar, large Don came right back with a third change and caught Covington looking. Fast ball, curve and change are the only staples he has, but Drysdale explains, 'This year I've been throwing them at different speeds and that helps" Mastering a change was quite a trick for Drysdale who throws the ball three-quarter arm out where the batter can follow It "I have to twist my wrist more." he explains, "and use my body to fool the batter." He's also the only pitcher who has to tramp down the dirt on the third base side of the mound because when he whips his body around from one far corner of the pitcher's plate, it looks like the ball is coming from out of left field. It's more than an illusion bv the time the ball reaches the plate. A batter has to be sprv and loose against Drysdale.

who'd brush back his proverbial grandmother. Drysdale used to talk a lot abou; throwing at batters with the old malarkey about "It's my bread and butter" Then he got into a running match with Sam Jones of the Giants that earned from Los Angeles to San Francisco and wound up with Willie Mays being pinged in the back and Drysdale aocked S50 Don Diysdale no longer talks much about zeroing on batters With the kind of stuff he's throwing these afternoons and nights, he doesn't have to aim at noggins. The batters have enough headaches. Gwin Hurls 5-Hitler; Dawn Beats Producers Jones Has 3 Hits, Littleton 3 Runs for Dawn Nine. Clark Gwin allowed only five hits last night and moved the Dawn town team past Producers Creamery of Chilhcothe, 5-3, in a mne- mmnu affair under the Dawn diamond lights.

David Jones backed up Gwm's pitching with a hot bat. He picked up three of the eight hits the Dawn picked up off R. Stuver Dawn bioke the scoring ice with Bob Maberry and Norman Griffith crossing the plate in the fast The count went to 3-0 in the third when Chailes Littleton scored the first of three tallies he was to pick up in the course of action. Producers bounced back with J. 3 Powell scoring the first of the fourth but Littleton canceled out the tally by crossing the plate in the last half of the frame.

The Chillicothe club rallied in the eighth with C. Rmehart and Stuver scoring, but it wasn't enough Littleton scored his third run of the game in the last half of the frame and ended the scoring. Dawn will see action on the home field again Friday night. Mandeville will provide the opposition.

The county seat of Dent County, Salem, is a prime example of what a rural community can accomplish, as repoited by James D. Idol, Director of the Division of Resources and Development. Salem's newest project, just completed, is a new airport four miles west of the city on Missouri Highway 32. This port offers a blacktop runway 40', a taxiway 800'x 30', and a tie-down area capable of accommodating 12 small aircraft. The total cost of this venture was some over 315,000, which is less than half of a contractor's estimate.

The reduced cost became possible through the untiring efforts of the Dent County Rural Committee, the Chamber of Commerce, the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the City Administration, State agencies, and businessmen and farmers in the city and county Through the loan of construction equipment, financial donations, and contributed skilled and unskilled labor, a large wooded area was cleared, graded and surfaced to become one of the better air-strips in south central Missouri for light craft. Salem is now considered the feeder livestock capital of Missouri, having seven feeder sales each year. Three of these sales offered to buyers, cattle in the amounts of 2500 calves and 1400 yearlings each year. The four swine sales sell from 8000 to 8500 swine. The sales are supported by some 300 producers who from commissions, paid for and operate a very adequate and modern sales barn.

Two new industries have recently made their home in Salem and five mining companies are exploring The Constitution-Tribune Chilllicothe. Mo. PAGE At WEDNESDAY, AUG. 19, 1959 in the Dent County area.
