gave a very unusual performance, in one
game reaching into the 500 grade, and
in each of the other games running ex-
tremely poor totals. Carroll bowled stead
lily, but all of its games resulted in scores
that were below the league standard Many
bowlers thought the CAROLS were about
due for a bracing up and that in this series
they would begin to show of what good
timber the team is constructed, but as
noted, this failed to materialize For the
first time this season the institute team
bowled the three games without a change

The Business Men were virtually showed

opened well, but in the second frame the
side went to pieces, and was never again

BILLIARD TOURNEY OF EXPERTS.
Schaefer Defeated Sutton in a Bril-
liant Uphill Game.

Jacob Schaefer and Louis Barutel were
the victors yesterday In the billiard games
for the worlds championship in New York
at eighteen-inch balk line. Schaefer beat
George Sutton, the Chicago entry, last even
ing, by 81 points, while Barutel beat the
Canadian. Leonard Howison, in the after
noon by 76 points.
Sutton opened the game in the evening
but failed to score, and he disappointed
his friends by doing the same thing in two
more innings. Schaefer, on the other
hand, began to score at once, getting six
in the first inning, and he made four in
each of the other two. He made his first
miss in the fifth inning, but did not fail
to count again until the fourteenth inning.
Sutton began counting with a well-earned
string of seven in the fourth inning. after
the balls had been left in an exceedingly
poor position by Schaefer.
Schaefer although beginning to score at
once, failed to secure an advantageous
lead, and when Sutton made an excellent
little run Of 16 in the eleventh inning an
element Of deeper interest was added to
the match. The men see-sawed, first one
and then the other being in the lead. In
the forty-fifth inning Schaefer forged to
the front The exciting see-saw game
stopped at this point for Schaefer began
to play almost invincible billiards. and an
elegant string of 30 In the forty-seventh
inning put him at bound 81 in advance of

al Association of Professional Base Ball
Leagues, the National League schemes
headed by Brush, have fostered what is
known as the American Association of Pro-
fessional Base Ball Clubs. The prime mov-
in this scheme are w. H. Watkins of
Indianapolis and Thomas ]. Hickey, for
merly president of the Western League
Watkins has been in the employ of Brush
and everything he does is considered as
coming from the Cincinnati magnate. If
the American Association, which is slated
to take in Kansas City, st. Paul. Minneap-
oils, Milwaukee, Columbus Toledo Louis
vile and Indianapolis, is go, it will re-
ceiye protection from the National League
and will be used an antagonist to the
Western League which is a prominent fac
tor in the makeup of the National ASsocia-
ton. Brush and his friends figure that
they can create stampede among the
minor leagues so that when the time comes
they will desert the National Association
and once more flock to the old standard un-
der which they suffered injustice for so
many years. Hickey, who helped Brush
and Watkins. seems to be in hot water.
His resignation has been accepted by the
Western League and a successor has been
elected. 1t is understood that while he
was president of the Western League
Hickey was secretly engaged in organizing
the American Association, for which he
may yet be disciplined by the National AS
Scciation.
'All of this trouble comes directly as
result of the abrogation of the old national
agreement. and in view Of it one can easily
see that somebody has blundered. The Ma
tional League had trouble enough on its
hands in fighting the American League

cause of statement in one of the Phila-
delphia papers to the effect that If the men
play as they have been advertised to do
several of them will be made professionals
by their action. Davidson, Pennsylvania S
captain Of this season, played with the
Philadelphia professionals at Pittsburg last
Saturday, and ne thus made himself pro-
fessional 1t is contended that if he plays
with the varsity today his presence will
make the other members of the teams pro-
fessionals too.
J. Gardiner, Hare, Folwell and Potter
have been practicing for the game and they
are to play with the graduates. On this
side there are several men who have coach
ed foot ball teams or played professional
ball Thus, If Potter, Hare, Folwell and
J. Gardiner play with them they will be
made professionals. According to the strict
letter Of the amateur rules this would be
the case in both instances just mentioned.
But still this Is merely an exhibition match,
and on this account the university authori-
ties contend that the game has no bearing
on the amateur status of any of the men
on either team. This is the stand that the
faculty committee has taken in the case.
and the probability is that the game will
be played on the original lines. Such games
have been played at Princeton. Yale, Har-
ward and other colleges, and no protest has
ever been made against the men who have
participated in the games.

FRUIT TREE BORERS.
Valuable Suggestions Condensed d
from n Bulletin of the Oklahoma
Experiment station.

Many orchards suffered heavy and
unnecessary loss during the last sum.
mer from the attacks of borers. Most
farmers do not notice that there is
anything wrong with the trees until
the leaves turn yellow and begin to
fall in midsummer. After this stage
has been reached there is little hope
for the tree, and it dies before frost.
A glance at the tree will be sufficient
to see that the bark on the trunk is
dead and black in irregular spots and
lines. Just beneath the dead bark is
the borer's burrow filled with worm
dust. If large spot of bark is killed,
the bark and wood begin to rot, and
are soon filed with a mushroom
growth which develops the fruitins
portion on the outside of the trunk and
resembles that which is seen on rot.
ten logs. The rot may hasten the
death of the tree, but tree that is
sound and free from blemish is very
seldom if ever attacked by this rot
The best thing to do is to keep the tree
free from borers and other injuries
The land should be kept free from
grass NCCuS NCil
Good, clean cultivation is worth more
than all the washes and dressings that
can be applied to prevent borers. A
good wash, however, is often worth
many times what it costs to apply an6
will do much toward preventing the
attacks of borers and other insects
A one-pound can of concentrated lye
dissolved in two or three gallons oi
water makes very good Tree wash
Another good wash can be made OF
one-half pint pine tar, one-half pint
carbolic acid, and two gallons soft
soap. These washes can easily be ap,
piled with an old whitewash brush or q
swab made of old rags tied on the end
of stick. The wash should be ap'
piled two or three times to the trunk
and large limbs during the spring and
early summer.

Mr.. II. E. Cook, of Denmark, N. Y,
Ia one of the conductors of the New
York institutes. He has given much
study to barn building and ventilation.
Ne keeps on his farms in northern New
York about 100 cows. Wishing to build
new barns on the most up to date and
improved principles, he investigated
all the best plans for barns and sys-
tenn of ventilation, and then built a
barn which he finds satisfactory in
every way, and is thus well equipped
to discuss the subject, and the follow
ing are some of the points he makes
in his address on "Barn Building and
Barn Ventilation" at the Institutes:
A few years ago, before farmers be-
gan to build warm stables, when the
most of the stables were so open that
there was always plenty of pure air
for the cattle, we heard but little
about tuberculosis. Farmers began
to build stables that were very tight
and warm, but they gave little atten-
ton to the subject of ventilation, and
the result of close confinement of cat

He took six bottles of your medicine

agree with him. His cough has left

seems to be well every way. l hope
