Peterson Pole Vault Sweep Gives Illinois B-Point Margin Big Reds Compete In EML Action Port Huron High School golf, tennis and track squads will bid for Eastern Michigan League honors this week. The golf classic will start at 1 Tommy Holmes Loses Job, Charlie Grimm Back In Majors Cincinnati, May 31 UP Tommy Holmes was fired as manager of the Boston Braves Saturday "because he doesn't have enough experience," and veteran Charley Grimm reluctantly signed a two-year contract to replace him. But it's just as true that you can man two seasons as craves doss, Holmes, who had served Jess burst into tears when he was toldj by long-distance telephone that he; was fired as manager. He bucked up only a little when told he could remain in the Braves organization.

Grimm, now manager of Milwaukee in the American Association, didn't want to take the job. He had said, "I never want to return to the Majors. I like Milwaukee and it likes me." But Braves general manager John Quinn and president Lou Perini talked to him twice by phone once Friday, and again early Saturday. He finally agreed to the two-year pact. QUINN EXPLAINED the firing! of Holmes this way: "We think the world of Tommy but we now feel he doesn't have' enough experience.

Grimm has the1 Monday at the Black River Country club with teams represent-ing Ferndale, Birmingham, Mt. Clemens, Hazel Park and Port Huron in the event. Coach Carl Lemle's foursome will Kst Joe Fiedler, Jack Fiedler, Fred Gillett and Jim Crichton. The Port Huron tennis team is entered in the league meet at Mt. Clemens.

Play will start at 9 a.m. Monday. The Big Red thin clads are in the meet slated to start at 2:45 p.m. Wednesday at Hazel Park. Use it wisely and try to leave it as you found it, if not a little better.

Marvel at the great story it has to tell. Share its secrets with your companions. And remember other seekers will follow. Let them enjoy it too. This is the time of year that! folks out of doors are likely to stumble across "poor little lost" fawns, "helpless" baby cottontails, songbirds and the like.

Because Memorial Day usually heralds the beginning of the great trek into the outdoors, we would like to enter a plea for these wild babies. Leave them alone! Enjoy their beauty. But don't disturb or handle them. They are not lott. And they are not neglected.

Mother Nature has a way of taking care of her children. It may seem strange, and sometimes harsh, to us. But one should try to resist any temptation to interfere with the "way of the wild." EVEN WITH HER first fawn the doe has an instinctive wisdom beyond our understanding in the way she cares for her wobbly-legged offspring. While it is tiny she customarily it during the day while she browses about. She may leave it all day.

But even if the little fellow moves, and we bet. it's against orders, she unerringly finds him. This is the way of the wild. Study it and learn it, but live and let live. Learn how the cottontail builds her nest in a vacant field; how she lines it with her fur to make her youngsters comfortable during the long day she hides in iher own retreat.

AT NIGHT THE mother rabbit attends to her young, feeds them and nibbles on her own favorite food. Even when they get so fat and pudgy they push each other out of their grass-covered cradle, the young still will be left seemingly alone. If you find the little family (commonly four or five) snuggled in the dried grass, often much in the open, don't make the mistake of thinking they need help or protection. True, some may fall prey to the fox, owl, stray cat or other animal. INDIANAPOLIS mm rarely rear one of these cute balls of fur with any success for any length of time.

COTTONTAILS have two to four litters a season. If it were not Nature's plan to balance this production by providing birds and beasts of prey to whittle it down somewhat, we would be overrun with rabbits, and the animal would become a pest instead of a game animal. Things are a little different with mother pheasant and mother partridge. Like old barnyard biddies they strut and fret and shoo their flocks along as they feed during the day, and then shelter their chicks during the night. Should you have the luck to encounter a flock, be careful.

When the chicks are tiny, they get orders to duck in the face of danger while the old bird hobbles "painfully" away "all crippled up." WHEN THIS happens, its best to stop immediately. You may step on the babies if you. are "not aware of the sham and pranks of the old birds. Once stopped, you may notice a little bit of fuzz sticking out from under this leaf and from that crevice. They are pretty "dead" chicks, and it's a good idea to leave them that way.

The same general rules apply to song birds. The young birds seldom fly away from the nest. Usually they flop with their untried wings to lower branches or to the ground. When you kindly restore them to the nest, they try another solo and promptly plop right oacR on me grounn. Leave them there no matter how helpless and forlorn they might appear.

The old birds are near, waiting to feed them. In a surprisingly short time the youngsters gain strength enough to fly to safety.

Richard Calisch pieked up 2Vz more points for Illinois by tying for third and Dale Foster and James Wright joined in a four-way tie for fifth to give the Illini an additional half point.
