The men whom the negroes Of this

Rogue River growers have begun the
planting Of apple. pear and peach

stage these trees IN one season would
produce a crop worth $3,0OO.000, il
the growers received only 81 a pushel,
which is far below the prevailing
prices for Oregon fruit. By keeping
up the reputation Of its output to the

1t is probable that Sumter Will
have several new men on the team
this year to fill the gaps made in the
old team by last years men being
drafted to higher class leagues. and
by sale to towns that are willing to
pay the price.

claims to have signed Tribble and
stephens and has strings out for Ham.
Danvillc hopes to get Flowers. Nor
folk has recalled Dingle and several
other members Of the pennant WIN
ming team are reported to be wanted
by other teams.
The baseball park will be given a
thorough overhauling before the sea-
son opens about May Goth.
Ambitious young players who
want to work for q reputation as a
stepping stone to the big leagues will
find the Sumter team the best possi-
BILE training school.
Officers Of the Orangeburg Baseball
Association say that there is no truth
in the report that Carlton Buesse
will leave Orangeburg to manage the
Spartanburg team this season.
There is no hurry about adopting
schedule but the directors Of the
State League will be called to meet
about March 1st for that purpose.
Tho team that gets Lindsay this
year will have a short stop whose su-
perior in that position is hard to find
and an all round player. He runs bases
we'll and is above the average as o

garding the rumor that he anticipated
leaving his local charge to accept a
call extended him by the trustees Of
the Arch Street M. E. Church, of Phil
adelphia, said that it would be discour-
teous to the Quaker City people to dis
close his decision to the local press, in
advance of notifying the official board
of the Arch Street Church or his own
congregation.
Il have net accepted the call as yet"
smilingly said DIR. Morgan, land while
l do not desire to commit myself, l
hardly think that l will leave Newark.

ent."
DR.. Morgan has been pastor of the
local church for over eleven years, and
despite the limited time provision u.s.
ually allowed to Methodist clergymen,
the congregation has always petitioned
the Newark conference to return him..
Strong pressure is being exerted by
his flock to have him remain in New
ark.
