By ROBERT COOK Putting on a blistering hitting spree in the seventh, the Plattsmouth Blue Devils squeezed by a fighting Papillion outfit by the narrow mar gin of 4-3. Joe Noble started for Plattsmouth and pitched three hit less innings, fanning six before his arm went bad. Ralph Hilt hurled four innings, gave up three hits, and struck out five in getting credit for the win, his third of the current season. Harvey Cordes pitched the first game of his high school career and did right well. He allowed five hits and whiffed seven in his ef forts. Not one run was earned. Far riott doubled, and Martin, Eaton, Hilt, and Meisinger got singles for the Blue Devils. Plambeck, Daup. and Dolling singled for Papillion. Plattsmouth opened up in the first. Martin was safe on R. Becker's fumble and stole second. Chovanec walked. Noble grounded to Miller who threw him. out. However, Schmidt, the first baseman, got lost in the wilderness around A hassock, and Martin stole home. In the second Hilt walked and stole second, third, and home while Papillion was committing four er rors. In the third inning Farriott reached second when Miller dropped his infield popup, stole third, and scored on Petet's roller to second. In the sixth frame Hoffman, in a state of exuberance, poured in a reserve outfield and catcher. Came successive drives into left field by Dolling and Plambeck. Then Daup lashed a sizzler into left.

TO HOLD REFERENDUM WASHINGTON, May 10 (UP) Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard today ordered a referendum held among wheat growers May SI on a proposal for AAA marketing quota level by 217 million bushels, 1941 bumper crop of 838 million bushels. The quotas, first ever asked on wheat, will be effective if approved by two-thirds of the farmers voting. If quotas are approved every farm er would be entitiled to most his farm's wheat acreage allotment plus wheat from any previous crop. The government would collect a 13c bushel penalty on marketings in excess of quotas. If the alloted acreage failed to pro duce a "nbrmal" crop the farmer also would be permitted to market under the quota additional wheat up to that amount. Wickard said the 1941 crop surplus an estimated carry-over of 390 million bushels of old wheat on July 1 would give the nation a supply of l,23(i,00O, 000 bushels exclusive of crop insur ance reserves. The supply exceeds the marketing suota level by 217 million busheels, Wickard said. If farmers reject mar keting quotas ths Farm Act provides that no government loans can be made on the 1941 wheat crop.
