YALE NEEDS COACH.
Meeting This Week to Select Sue
cessor to Mike Murphy.
tsx TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]


New-Haven. Aug. 9--In spite OF the neces-
sity for the selection of Yale trainer 10
ceed Mike Murphy before the college term opens.
on September 2S nothing definite has yet
been done. a large number OF applications have
been received, but Yale pays too little for such
a position to attract the leading men.
There is some likelihood that George Foster
Sanford. the former Yale football player and
Columbia coach. will be chosen. there Is
strong sentiment in his favor in the Yale ad-
visory athletic committee.
Among great many Yale men a strong feel
Ing Is growing that no better equipped man. nor
one more popular with Yale athletes could be
FOUND than Talcott u. Hull. who has had some
ntteen years experience with Yale teams. and
who preceded Murphy the Yale trainer.
There Is some friction between the advisory
committee and the football and track captains
ana managers over the selection OF the Yale
trainer, and conference will be held this week
mere between the two factions. Captain Shevlin.
or tho 1900 Yale football team. coming here from
the west for that purpose. AT this conference
1t is anticipated that . trainer will finally be
chosen

GEERS HAS CLOSE CALL.
THROWN IN 2:O4 PACE.
peteran Gets Nasty Tumble When
King Direct Fouls LOcanda.

Buffalo. Aug. ED Geers at sixty years of
age the dean of the Grand Circuit driving brig
ade, had another close call at Kenilworth Park
this afternoon. The veteran was in the suky
back of King Direct in the 2:04 pace. the feature
OF the day.
In the third heat, at the head of the stretch,
King Direct, pacing strongly, stuck his hoof
through the wheel of Locanda's suky A
wicked looking accident the immediate re-
suit There was a tangle of horses. suIkies and
drivers almost Immediately swallowed up in a.
cloud of dust.
When the scene of action cleared up Geers
was seen prostrate on the ground. and Snow
was on his feet making his way to the stand
Locanda had been safely caught and King Di-
rect had started on wild runaway dragging
somewhat shattered suky back of him.
A crowd of stable hands and others, including
physician. surrounded Geers. The veteran
had suffered bad cut his leg and the wind
had been knocked out of him, but he speedily
recovered his breath. and his first words were:
Now. don't make a hurrah of this thing and
scare everybody to death for nothing"
Just TO show he was all right Geers then
came out and back of Turley in the oil trot
which followed, won the deciding heat. being
given tremendous ovation. The old man has
a badly bruised leg, which. coming right on
top Of his broken leg. received at Memphis last
fall. promises to be considerable of a hardship
TO him.
Another big crowd gathered for the third days
sport, which was a fine track with fast
time. Snyder McGregor, 800 TO $50 on the
field, had the time of his life getting two of
the three heats from Norman B. in the 2:0S
trot and the booksellers We're kept busy with
the continual hedging.
Locanda had two heats in the 2:04 pace, when
the accident occurred. and, as the judges found
both drivers blameless and placed the horses
in the final heat, the Alerton stallion got the
race. Locanda favorite al $50 to SO on the
field before the first heat and favorite
throughout. Norvolo put up a good fight in two
heats.
Turley sold 500 to $35 the field for the 2:11
trot. John Caldwell won the first heat but was
on his bad behavior thereafter and. breaking at
the word for the second heat, was distanced.
Turley took the last two heats and the race
without great trouble
The 2:11 pace was a split heat affair and the
bettors were kept edge throughout. F. J.
Park sold weak opening favorite at S100 to
Sl1O on the field, and the heat winners ruled
weak favOrites in the subsequent selling. Hal
T., Bolivar and Charlie Patch each won a heat.
The race which was the three heat plan,
was then concluded. with Bolivar getting first
money, Charlie Patch second. and Hal T third.
There is much interest in the free for-all trot to-
morrow, which has the sensational field of the

SPRING IN THE GARDEN

Set shrubs and vines as soon as the
ground settles.
Be ready to jump right in and make
the best use of every fine day.
Those choice seed potatoes may
sprout too soon if not kept cool.
When warm enough to uncover the
rosebushes, little fine manure or fer
tilizer forked in around the roots will
tickle them greatly.
For perfect roses prune in March.
Cut back about one-third of last years
growth on hybrid perpetuals.
If you did not blanket the rhubarb
with manure last fall, give it nice top
dressing of fine compost now and
place half barrels over a few of the
plants to hurry them along.
For the new potato Noroton Beauty
it is claimed that it is 1.-The earliest po-
tatO ever grown, being sixteen days
earlier than the Old Early Rose, of
which it is a lineal descendant, and the
best all round potato in existence"
Use Prizetaker or any of the large
globe kinds for the new onion culture.
Sow in flats, hOtbed or greenhouse and
transplant to the open as soon as the
ground is in good working condition.
Bear in mind that the new sOifinocu-
latiOn by artificial cultures is just as
applicable to garden beans, peas and
sweet potatoes as to field crops. Some
wonderfully good things are already
told about its work by those who have
practiced it.
Onion seed cannot be sown too early
1t will germinate and grow even in the
wet and cold If the ground has been
properly fitted. There's the rub. The
soil cannot be made fine till it has dried
out. Just here comes in the new
onion culture, seeds sown under glass
and plants set out when the soil is well
prepared.
No better seed tester is needed than
this: Place the seed between n fold OF
cotton flannel cloth and lay it on a
plate. Moisten but Go not saturate the
cloth with water. Cover with another
plate and keep at temperature OF
about 40 degrees f. By the end OF
three days good sec1 should have ger
minated 90 per cent or more
Smyrna times., 1905-03-01
TIE GARDEN KEYBOARD
Get busy right now.

Get busy right now.
Study the seed catalogues.
Don't neglect the advertisements.
Sow peas as soon as. the ground can
be worked
Now will you be good and test your
seeds?
Cherries and plqms should be among
the trees grated earliest.
An earliest green eating onion" is
one of the new things of 1908.
Trimming time"-the milder days
of late winter and early spring.
"Prune when the knifeVs sharp" but
never when the wood is frozen.
Lettuce and radish seed can go into
the ground as soon as the surface can
be scratched.
Flowing the garden when the ground
is wet makes bad work. Better a good
job a few days delayed.
Get the first sowing of sweet peas
into the earth as soon as the frost is
out Cover four or five inches deep.
Cool weather after planting will not
hurt them.
March weather is uncertain, but in
many regions seed of the harder vege-
tables, such as cabbage, cauliflower,
onions. peas, parsnips, lettuce, etc, may
be sown when normally good weather
condition prevails and the ground is
dry.
Has it ever occurred to you that
early table turnips may be a very
profitable crop? They can be planted
very early-often before the weather is
settled. Give small dressings of nitrate
of soda at intervals and reap a hand
some return.
Here is a good grating wax: Resin,
four parts by weight; beeswaX, two
] parts; tallow, one part. Break the
materials fine melt thoroughly tOgeth-
er and pour into a pail of cold water
When hard enough, pull and work till
it "gets a grain and is of the color OF
taffy. The hands must be creased.
