S. Alderman is widely known and respected as one of his state's most progressive farmers. On the Alderman farm near Dayton, Oregon, 4.000 totally irrigated acres consistently produce sweet corn, potatoes, beans and strawberries of exceptional quality. Alderman crops are so exceptional, in fact, that the great majority are contracted for well ahead of harvest time. Alderman Farms also enjoys a solid reputation for raising prime Hereford cattle. Alderman Farm methods of planting and animal husbandry are often acclaimed as models of far western agriculture at its best. Running Alderman Farms is a big agricultural job. Big enough to require the services of 30 tractors, 4.5 trucks and two large semi- trailers— a// equipped with Firestone tires. As Mr. Alderman puts it, "With Firestones on our equipment, and fast Fh'estone service, we've stopped worrying about tires. Our farm operation is 100 '( Fu-estone." FIRESTONE .

No doubt many of you will plunge right into farming activities at home. For others, it's not that simple. Part-time farming or no farm at all has cut down on the opportunity for an adequate farming program. Have you thought about working on a good f;irm for farming experi- ence? The only place where experience in farming can be acquired is on the farm. This subject was tossed around by a panel at the North Atlantic Regional Conference of workers in agricultural education. The panel was composed of former FFA members, vo-ag teachers, and farm- ers.

    Roy Sievers “A Hero may die, but his memory lives on” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com By BILL HASS I had missed it in the sports section and on the internet. A friend of my mentioned it to me and sent me a link to the story. On April 3 – ironically, right at the start of the 2017 baseball season – Roy Sievers died at age 90. I felt a pang of deep sadness. After all, no matter how old you get, the little kid in you expects your heroes to live for- ever. As the years passed and I didn’t see any kind of obitu- ary on Sievers, I thought perhaps he might actually do that. I knew better, of course. Sometimes reality has a way of intruding on your impossible dreams, and maybe it’s just as well. I have never been much for having heroes. Oh, there are plenty of people I have admired and some of them have done heroic things. But a hero is someone who stays constant, someone you root for no matter what, and people in sports lend themselves to that. Roy Sievers was a genuine hero for me, and, really, the only athlete I ever put in that category. Let me explain why. In the early 1950s, when I first became aware of baseball, my family lived in the northern Virginia suburbs of Wash- ington, D.C. I rooted for the Washington Senators (known to their fans as the “Nats”), to whom the adjective “downtrod- den” was constantly applied, if not invented. Prior to the 1954 season, the Nats obtained Sievers in a trade with the Baltimore Orioles, formerly the St.

    Paradoxical Pop-Ups: Why Are They Difficult to Catch? Michael K

    Paradoxical pop-ups: Why are they difficult to catch? Michael K. McBeath Department of Psychology, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona 85287 ͒ Alan M. Nathana Department of Physics, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois 61801 A. Terry Bahill Department of Systems and Industrial Engineering, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721 David G. Baldwin P. O. Box 190, Yachats, Oregon 97498 ͑Received 20 September 2007; accepted 9 May 2008͒ Professional baseball players occasionally find it difficult to gracefully approach seemingly routine pop-ups. We describe a set of towering pop-ups with trajectories that exhibit cusps and loops near the apex. For a normal fly ball the horizontal velocity continuously decreases due to drag caused by air resistance. For pop-ups the Magnus force is larger than the drag force. In these cases the horizontal velocity initially decreases like a normal fly ball, but after the apex, the Magnus force accelerates the horizontal motion. We refer to this class of pop-ups as paradoxical because they appear to misinform the typically robust optical control strategies used by fielders and lead to systematic vacillation in running paths, especially when a trajectory terminates near the fielder. Former major league infielders confirm that our model agrees with their experiences. © 2008 American Association of Physics Teachers. ͓DOI: 10.1119/1.2937899͔ I. INTRODUCTION The frequency of pop-ups in the major leagues—an aver- age of nearly five pop-ups per game2—is sufficiently large Baseball has a rich tradition of misjudged pop-ups. For that teams provide considerable pop-up practice for infielders example, on April, 1961, Roy Sievers of the Chicago White and catchers.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

    The 3-6-3 Double Play

    The 3-6-3 Double Play By Christopher Chestnut January 5, 2010 E-mail: [email protected] Purpose The purpose of this study is to determine which major league first baseman turned the most 3-6-3 double plays. Data Sources The information used in this study was obtained free of charge from and is copyrighted by Retrosheet. Interested parties may contact Retrosheet at www.retrosheet.org. Definitions 3-6-3 Double Play – the first baseman fields a ground ball and throws to the shortstop to retire the runner on first. The shortstop returns the throw to the first baseman to retire the batter/runner. Opportunity – all ground balls (including bunts, excluding base hits) fielded by the first baseman with a runner on first (additional runners may be on second and/or third) and less than two outs. Attempt – all opportunities where the first play by the first baseman is a throw to the shortstop. Methodology I used play-by-play data from Retrosheet to support my analysis. The available data includes the American and National Leagues for 1952-2009. I processed the data for each season to generate a list of all players with at least one opportunity in any one of these eight situations: No outs, runner on first No outs, runners on first and second No outs, runners on first and third No outs, bases full One out, runner on first One out, runners on first and second One out, runners on first and third One out, bases full 1 of 7 The 3-6-3 Double Play January 5, 2010 Results Filtering out the non-ground balls and base hits, I found: 1,319 players

    What's Happening to Our jgj Merchant Marine !' "No wonder it made Milwaukee famous Opening a bottle of Schlitz is like open- ing a familiar and well- loved book. You know it holds enjoyment you can depend upon . that each and every time you'll find tbe same touch of genius. the same quality of greatness. Through the story of this fine beer runs the classic theme of ideals upheld for almost a hundred years. the historic background for that matchless flavor which makes men say, "No wonder it made Milwaukee famous!" Copyright 1947, Jos. Schlitz Brewing Co., Milwaukee. Wis. The Beer that made Milwaukee Famous Iilea With A Heart When the Alabama legislature abol- ished the use of tax tokens last October the American Legion rolled up its sleeves. Arthur Greenwood, a prominent Bir- mingham restaurant owner and faithful Legionnaire, fostered the idea of collect- ing the defunct metal and plastic discs and putting them to good use. He and State Commander Jimmie Lane were in agreement that the money for redemp- tion should be turned over to the Crippled Children's Clinic in Birming- ham. Over one hundred Posts sprang into action when an appeal was issued throughout the state. In the week fol- lowing, a continual stream of tokens poured into boxes in theater lobbys, into barrels on street corners. School chil- dren were asked to bring tokens from home. Newsboys conveniently made a house-to-house canvass. Boy and Girl Scouts, armed with explanatory letters of the drive, besieged merchants, who were most cooperative in contributing to the cause.
