Horses of this type thrilled the crowds both Saturday and Sunday with their exciting exhibitions. Some of in the East took part in the Fourth show. State Game Newsletter Ringtown Valley was the "mec-ca" for horse show followers over the weekend as a record turnout witnessed the Fourth Annual Horse Show presented by the Valley Farms Horse Show Association.

With Mother Nature providing Ideal weather visitors from all over the East flocked to the Valley Farms Ring from early Saturday morning, i Marring the exhibit was a "near tragedy" which occurred during yesterday afternoon's presentation. During the class 22, Stock Horse Stake, Loren Clark, of Lititz, was in. the center of the ring putting his mount, "Anita Adams" through races, when a rope attached to the horse, looped over his right foot When the horse gave a sud-den jerk he upended Clark, and began dashing madly around the ring, dragging his driver after him. Fans were on their feet screaming as futile attempts were made to halt the mad flight of the horse. After dragging Clark twice around the ring, the horse was finally halted by other contestants, including the victim's father.

Members of the Phoenix ambulance crew administered first aid and then removed Clark to the exhibitors' headquarters. He suffered severe brush burns of the arms and legs. Ssoring a big hit, particularly with the youngsters, -was "Lucky" Carson and his Hollywood wonder 'horse, "Chief Appearing at all performances, Carson put the "Chief" through his paces, which included" many movie stunts. Car- son was kept busy throughout the show supply autographs for his young admirers. Another entertaining feature of Saturday's show was a demonstration by the trained dogs of the Pennsylvania State Police.

Handling the dogs were Pfc. Harvey Waver- ka, Pfc. Emil Suchy and Pfc. Charles Covage, of the Hershey Training School. The dogs, "Alvin," "Dolpho" and "Duke" were warmly apolauded for their almost human-like performance.

The kiddies also got quite a bang out of the exhibition fenturip" the Kaier's Pony Hitch, with Modes Foieu, of Shamokin. putting the perfectly matched six ponies through their paces. With this being the first two-day show ever attempted by the Valley Farms group, both exhibitors and fans rated it the best ever and one of the most outstanding in the V.asL Jules Boros uui in rum Southern Pines Pro Top '54 Money-Winner WILLOUGHBY, Ohio (U.R Julius Boros, the fast-working pro from Southern Pines, N. jumped to the head of the list as golf's leading 1954 money-winner today as the circuit moved west to St. Paul, for the PGA championship starring Wednesday.

On Saturday afternoon at Frack ville, the Vets had chalked up their 18th league win over the same Minersville club, 4-2, with Phil Posses-sky racking up his 11th straight victory.

Eddie Staaky Earl Torgeson Torgeson's battle with Cardinal catcher Sal Yvars Sunday, a renewal of their almost forgotten July 1, 1952 fight, resulted in umpire Babe Pinelli's forfeiture of th nightcap to the Phillies, 9-0, aftei the Phils also had won the opener 11-10, in 10 innings. Torgeson figured in his first free- for-all back in April, 1948 when, while still a membes of the Boston Braves, he popped Billy Hitchcock with a right during an exhibition game.

Torgy" took part in his second free-for-all on June 19, 1950 when he felt Pirate pitcher Cliff Cham bers had "dusted" him off. The first trouble with Yvars oc curred when Torgeson opened a deep gash over the receiver's right eye because he thought Sal had broken one of his bats. Sunday's skirmish emptied both benches. Cardinal manager Eddie Stanky threw a flying headlock on Phillie manager Terry Moore and police and ushers ran out on the field to attempt to restore order. When play was resumed.

Stanky walked out of the dugout to chat with Ellis Deal, the fourth pitcher he had used in less than five innings. Pinelli, aware that the Phillies were ahead, 7-1, anyway, con strued Stanky's trip as a stalling maneuver and forfeited the game to the Phils, who moved into third place by one percentage point. Stanky protested the forfeiture first ip the majors since Aug. 21; when the tiants were award ed a forfeited game over the Phil lies at Philadelphia claiming that Pinelli "exceeded his authority." But the Phillies and Cards supplied only part of the fireworks in the majors. There were "rhubarbs" in many other games, too.

At Washington, where the Indi ans retained a half-game lead in the American League race by defeating the Senators, 7-4, in the nightcap after losing the opener. 8-3, Cleveland manager Al Lopez was ejected for arguing with umpire Bill Grieve in the second game. There were more "run-ins' at Yankee Stadium where the Yan kees won their 13th straight game by beating Detroit, 6-0, on Harry Byrd's five hitter in the opener, then lost their temporary hold on first place by bowing, 8-6, in the Continued on Page 9 Eddie Stanky Raps Protest Claims Umpire Pinelli Exceeded His Authority ST. LOUIS (U.R An irate Eddie Stanky forwarded a formal protest of Sunday's forfeited game against the Phillies to National League president Warren Giles today, claiming that umpire Babe Pinelli "exceeded his authority" in ordering the forfeit. In Cincinnati, Ohio, Giles said he would have no comment on Stanky's protest until Pinelli's report is received at league headquarters, probably some time today.

Pinelli announced the forfeit in the top half of the fifth inning of the second game of Sunday's twin bill between Stanky's St. Louis Cardinals and the Phillies With the Phillies leading, 8-1, and darkness closing in, Pinelli ruled that Stanky was deliberately stalling to prevent completion of the game. Only moments before the diamond had erupted in one of the biggest player brawls seen here in recent years. The dispute, which started between Sari Torgeson of the Phils and Sal Yvars of the Cards, saw Stanky at one time clamp a headlock on manager Terry Moore of the Phillies. "With two out and Smokey Bur gess at bat, after Johnny Wyrostek had been walked by pitcher Cot Deal, I walked out to change pitchers, bringing in Tom Poholsky, and at that point umpire Pinelli forfeited the game," Stanky told Giles.

The free-for-all began in the top half of the fifth when Torgeson. who was batting, squared off with Yvars, who was catching. Pinelli tried unsuccessfully to separate them and both squads raced onto the field. The forfeit, by the automatic score of 9-0, plus an 11-10 win in j.he first game, moved the Phillies up into third place by one percentage point.

Chicago blasted three Athletics' pitchers for 14 hits to win the opener easily. The White Sox sent rookie hurler John Gray to the showers in the sixth inning and relievers Ed Burtschy and Marion Fricano fared little better. Jhe second game was called because of the Pennsylvania curfew while the Athletics were batting in the eighth inning and trailing, 8-5. The score reverted back to the seven inning totals. i Rivera drove home Nelson Fox with the deciding runs off reliever Sonny Dixon.

At St. Louis, the Phils were awarded a 9-0 forfeit victory when Umpire Babe Pinelli called the second game in the fifth inning because of Cardinal Manager Eddie Stankey's alleged stalling tactics. Stasky went to the mound to talk to his pitcher after a fist fight involving both teams had been halted. In the opener, the Phils out-slugged the Cards to give reliever Robin Roberts his 12th victory against eight defeats in a 10 inning game. Bill Miller Wins Tower City Race TOWER CITY.

After winning the 50 lap championship trophy race last Sunday afternoon, Billy Miller, Carlisle, came through with the 35-lap race on Sunday afternoon at Gold Mine Speedway. Art Marrow, Carlisle, driving for the injured Jimmy James, was leading the pack in the feature with Miller coming up from his 12th position to the No. 2 slot in quick time and during the 23rd lap, shot out in front and remained there for the balance of the race. While Marrow was in second at the checkered-flag, Hal Schaeffer, Schuylkill Haven, took third; Warren Mutter, Boyertown, was fourth while Charlie Reinninger, Schuylkill Haven, was fifth. Art Marrow won the first heat race, George Acley, Llewellyn, came through a in the second race while Charlie Bubeck, Schuylkill Haven, won the third heat race of the afternoon.

the top hunters and jumpers Annual Valley Farms two-day Herald Staff Photo TODAY'S SPORTS PARADE By OSCAR FR.1LEY NEW YORK (UP) One of the most picturesque fighters in the world is an ambitious young wel terweight named Joey Erskine. Some may hold but for primi tive pantominists like Hurricane Jackson and others may prefer spectacular senders such as Kid Gavilan of the bolo punch and the bolero feet. But when it comes to eye-pleasing box fighters I've gotta go lor Joey. He has 20 tattoos. You'd be surprised how these scenic views help to fill in the dull moments which frop up in almost any fight.

Not that Joey, a youngster -with the stringy build of a Lew Jenkins, is a dull fighter. Because the boy from the Bronx has won six of his seven bouts and in fine style. But, say, when he is involved in a lengthy clinch you can pass the time entertainingly by watching his back. There on one shoulder blade is a grapefruit-sized head of a baby, crying if his formula oughta be changed. And enjoying the spectacle, on the other shoulder blade is the head of a baby gur gling fit to bust.

Yet it is in the minute rest peri od, while Joey is sprawled on his stool, that you get the full panorama of his needlework. Spread-eagled across his chest is a 10-inch eagle in vivid blue and red, sailing majestically through a perspiring sky of -black-haired clouds. And this is only the beginning. On the, right forearm reposes a floral horseshoe with "Good Luck" emblazoned underneath, hemmed in by another eagle with the name "Joe" beneath. There also is an anchor and a wolfhead while a double strand of rope with a fancy square knot encircles the wrist.

The tight bicep sports Indian chief who does a nifty war dance when Joey tosses a right cross and on the right shoulder there is a tiger head, a dagger and the words "Bombay India 1949." "That one's not too good." Joey says. "The guy was in a hurry to go to the races." Balancing this display is a technicolor left side which entrances the customers in that area. The anchor on' the left hand iS covered by the glove, but you can gaze in awe at a wall-eyed shark surrounded by guppies, a star, a skull and crossbones and a dagger with "1947" under it, on the left forearm. Sailing majestically across his left bicep is a square-rigged ship which appears to be in a typhoon when he flicks his jab. and appearing somewhat lonely on his right shin is a kitten with its head cocked.

Beneath it are the words "Kool Kat." LaSalle Books Three New Foes PHILADELPHIA (UP) La Salle College, defending champions of the NCAA basketball title, will take on three new teams and play in two tournaments during the 1954-55 season, it was announced Sunday. The explorers will play in the second annual University of Kentucky Tournament in Lexington, Dec. 21-22, and the colorful Madison Square Garden Holiday Festival Tourney Dec. 27, 29 and 31. The NCAA champs also will play Loyola of the South at New Orleans Dec.

5 in dedicating Loyola's new field house, site of future Sugar Bowl basketball tournament play. The newcomers to the LaSalle schedule, besides Loyola, are Brandeis University and the University of Richmond. Favored Trabert Drops Clay Final RIVER FOREST, 111 (UP) Bernard (Tut) Bartzen, upset conqueror of top-ranked Tony Trabert, and Maureen Connolly, four-time Wimbledon champion, today ruled the nation's clay courts. For "Little Mo," the crown fit readily. Her 6-3, 6-1 victory over Doris Hart Sunday was her second straight national Clay Courts championship.

But for Bartzen, winning a major tournament was something new. The San Angelo, sporting goods salesman whipped Trabert, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 6-2, 4-6, 6-0, 6-2 a career that has included minor for his first important title in Davis Cup play, and a seventh ranking nationally.

PHEASANT CHICK PROGRAM The recent-year increase in the ringneck pheasant population in Pennsylvania is credited in part to participation by many sportsmen's organizations and farmers in the pheasant rearing program of the Game Commission.

Organizations and individuals engaged in the chick rearing endeavor have compiled an enviable record of success in the past years. Some of these propagators have successfully raised nearly 100 per cent of the birds allotted them. On the average, about 80 per cent of the day-old pheasants supplied from state game farms have been reared to the 12 weeks minimum liberation age. The record shows that between early May and late June of this year 220,485 day-old pheasant chicks were shipped from state game farms to clubs and persons eligible to participate in the undertaking. The breakdown of this year's shipments is: sportsmen's clubs, 64,530 chicks; farm-game coopera-tors, rabbit farmers and farmers with land open to public hunting, 155,955.

The total is close to that of each of the past two years. Pheasants reared by sportsmen's organizations will be liberated by the clubs in their home localities. Many of the male birds raised by the others will be released by Game Commission officers just prior to or during the small game season to ensure a high return to hunters. ASSUME THEIR RIGHT "It has happened at last," says Game Protector Harold W. Wiggins.

"A new group of sportsmen or sportswomen has just been granted membership in the Northampton County Federation. "This club is believed to be the only chartered organization of its kind in the United States. Its mem bership is restricted to women, and its name is the Femme Rod and Gun Club of Easton." PHEASANT CHICKNAPPER Game Protector Calvin A. Hooper reports. "A Lawrence County game chicken left her home quarters one day in May and strolled to parts unknown.

When she came back, a few days later, she brought along a clutch of young pheasants. "It would seem she drove a ring-neck pheasant from her nest and finished hatching the eggs herself. Since her return the chicken has been in no mood to, allow the real mother or any person to get close to the young pheasants she appropriated." WILDLIFE PLANNING The general welfare of wild birds and animals, game breeding results and matters affecting their populations or health are always of prime Pnnrern tn wilHlifp anthrti-itioe TU specialists are close observers the year around, also, of food and cover conditions, necessities which are affected by extremes in weather and by pests and diseases. Knowledge of food shortages is important in planning for the needs of nature's children in winter, particularly. Through their experience with growing things wildlife managers can determine by late summer what the winter food crop will be and so plan their winter feeding programs in advance.

On the ground observations of game protectors, sportsmen and farmers over all months of the year help the Game Commission in its planning. For example, re ports saying there were killing frosts in some areas in mid-spring have been noted. Later developments in those localities will be watched.

Boros and Fazio finished up the Manakiki par 72 layout tied at 280. But it was settled Sunday with the second shot. Boros and Fazio, the pro from Pine Valley, N. got off the first tee on equal terms. Their drives went out about 250 yards on the parlour, 408-yard hole.

Fazio, however, pulled his approach to the left and it landed in a trap just off the green. Boros then stepped up and whacked his iron onto the carpet, about 18-feet from the cup. Fazio's recovery was not good enough. He left himself a 12-foot putt, which didn't quite drop. Boros Minersville 200 023 Olx 8 MINERSVILLE Ab.
