 Umpire Buckley claims that at the age oI 19 he was riding a bicycle In the errand boy service of a certain wholesale tail oring establishment in Syracuse. During his employment, he said, for which he received 8 50 per weels. strike was or der1d. He was not subjected to the rules governing union labor. but went on the strike anyway When he informed his parents of this move he was told to go back to work, and in self-defense did so. Later. he said, he was approached by union cutter, who demanded that he give up his position. He declined to do so, he said as he was not a union man and was dependent on what he made. Two years later he secured employment In the Southern League as an umpire, where he worked the entire season. with the exception of the last few weeks. The intervention of the labor unions, he claims was responsible for his dis charge. "They have bounded me to death,' writes Umpire Buckley, flor something I have never been guilty of. I have placed the matter before the Union Trades body of the United States and soon expect to have a clean record furnished me- Savannah News.
 The Central league should suspend either Manager Hendricks of the Spring field club or Umpire Llewellen for long term If Hendricks applied vile names to Llewellen he should be held respon- sible for the fight anr riot that followed. The right to resent an insult it not sur rendered by an umpire in return for sal ary and the severe punishment of Hen drieks, if the charge against him is sus- tained, would serve as a warning to the few blackguards who are in baseball. 1h.s is the second fight on the field in National Association leagues. One South ern league player called another an op- probrious name and blows were eX- changed. Umpire Zimmer elected them from the game and, during the evening, effected a reconciliation, for which he was commended by President Kavanaugh. An Eastern league player attacked an umpire and was disciplined. Rowdyism is on it's last legs and prompt punishment will purge the game of umpire-baiting and hoodlum tactics.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

Buttermilk John Meek, of the Barons, is one of the best natured ball players and one of the most willing workers who has ever been seen at Piedmont park. Meek is always in good humor and is always in the game He has a great many friends among the Atlanta fans and they object to him only because he puts up the price of buttermilk and beefsteak every time he is in town Big John Is going to be one of Dad Vaughns standbys this season.

 Twice has this boast been heard "Henry' the prime favorite and monkey mascot of the Pelicans for the past six years, will probably be sold to the Hagen beck trained animals people. Secretary IIeinemann has telegram from the man. agemenI or the SnOp, containing a Dlu TOT $500 cash for the monk, and unless the Pelicans have better luck on home grounds, the former denizen of African jungles will most assuredly be shunted off never to return. It is impossible to say what the next mascot is going to be, but it will probably be goose, pel can, or something which will be less war like, until the team gets back into its old stride and something happens to en- title it to something really fierce.-New Orleans Picayune.
 That's why Manager Frank let Cristall go. He released the pitcher against his better judgment for Cholly Frank knows Cristall is star in this company. He figured that it would take Billy some time to get over his luck and to retain his standing in the good graces of the biggest bunch of knockers under the sun. Cristall should do well for Memphis He would have done well here if the anvil chorus hadn't struck up so soon.-New Orleans Item.

Manage Vaughn Talks.

Manager Vaughn was seen yesterday. The manager had very little to say. He did not offer excuses because the Barons failed to split even in Atlanta. He did not even refer to any umpire except in manner complimentary. He did not cry 'hard luck" and throw his arms above his head despairingly. He simply said that he couldn't tell how it happened. The pitchers are not going their accus- toned routes as yet. Some of the games were lost because the Barons were a trife dumb at those places where they should have been there" loudest with the shout, Others were lost by small scores. He expects the pitchers to round to within the next few days, and that the battles will go on the right side of the slate
 Concerning his plans. the manager had very little to say. He intimated. how ever, that no change for the present would be made in the lineup This means that Meek will be continued on first, and Alcocl1 on third, which pleases the fans. He did not say anything relative to the strengthening of the backstop department. He did not say which of the players would be released. Waivers have been asked for and obtained on Mitze

PretzeIs Arrive.

The "'failenders" are in the local camp. Manager Malarky and his bunch of Pret- gels arrived yesterday morning from Nashville. Malarky smiled under the man. agerial toga, just as he did when he was simply a pitcher on the Montgomery team. His smile, too, would indicate that the Montgomery outfit was q trihe higher in the percentage column than it is
 Manager Malarky will play Baxter, the new first baseman, on the initial corner this afternoon and Nye, who was in- jured recently, will be replaced at short. Malarky is determined to hand q bunch of blue defeats to the locals. He can not see wherein Birmingham has the strongest team in the league.
 If Birmingham doesn't desire the low est seat in this side show this season." remarked the manager -pitcher, Harry Vaughn had better get to climbing There is no doubt in the world but that we are going higher. We have had bunch of hard luck and have been a trne up against it. However, we are weed ing out every day and are keeping our eyes open Money is no consideration Montgomery is to have a good team this year in spite of everything. The Pretzels, as you call us. will not stay on the bottom very long. Watch us win this afternoon. Do you realize what that would mean? 1t means that Montgomery will not be alone on the bottom row"

After a road trip for more than a week, an which the Barons received the mitten more times than the smile of victory, for Jupiter Pluvious to butt in yesterday, was hard.
 Just 10000 fans planned where they would seat themselves about the park, and 10000 fans were going over the things that they would say to discomfort the Pretzels. for Jupiter Pluvius to butt in, was hard, indeed.
 After having gone through a week of tribulation, for the rain to spoil chance for vengeance on these pesky Pretzels the salted down champions of the cellar was very hard indeed, to say the least
 But the rain came. It fell in the morn ing, and at noon. II fell, too, in the after noon, and the ground, inhalng the dew drops, was so dampened that to move over the paths was impossible.
 The only consolation that the Barons received was the fact that the rain in- tererfered at Shreveport and Nashville tbo. There was but one game played in he league and Little Rock won that one Erom Memphis

portance in the general management
of the National Forests.
1t requires from two to four years
to produce stock sufficiently large
for planting and therefore the process
of rctorestation at the beginning must
be SOW. Any planting that is done
in the vicinity of this station will
serve two purposes: First, improve
men: of the watershed cover OF an
important drainage basin, from which
Salt Lake City is supplied, and, at
the same time, the production of COM
mercial timber on land that formerly
bore an excellent stand but which
has been devastated by careless lum-
bering and forest fires.
1t will be one or two years before
any stock is available for planting,
but then there should be at least
100000 trees ready to get set out on
the mountain side. There is no ques-
ton about the success of field plant
ing since the region is potentially
forested area. There is abundant op-
portunity for experimental work in
testing new species and this spring
seeds of large number of trees that
are not common to the Wasatch
Mountains have been sown at the
nursery to determine their adaptable
lity to that region.
Seed of Japanese larch, which is
very similar to the European larch,
has been sown at this station and
while it is not certain just wha. the
results will be, yet it is believed that
this may prove to be a valuable tree
for planting certain sites. 1t is es-
timated that there are over 10000
acres within range of this station
which are in very urgent need Of re-
forestation. In twenty-five years the
barren slopes will be green again with
trees and the planted forest will be
improving the water-how which is of
such great worth to Salt Lake City.
