ONE SCORE SETTLED THE DAY.
That Was Made by Islanders In the 10TH
Inning Saturday.

1t took 10 innings for the champs
to win out in the game Saturday.
Neal and Tevis were on the slab and
they held each other about even until
the very last inning when the Island
ers fell on Tevis for couple of hits
and with two bases on balls and the
game was won after two were out.
Swain started the rally with two
sacker and Noyacek was purposely
given free transportation. Berger
put up ar easy fly and then Mcbride
went to first in the same way that
Novacek got there. With the bags
full bowers proved the man of the
hour and his hit over shortstop
brought in the much needed run
1t looked as though the game might
have been won in the ninth inning
|aIso. for Gilmore, the first man up,
started off the round with a dandy
double, but he got too far off of the
second corner and was caught there
before he knew it. Those who fol
lowed him were easy outs, though
and there was nothing doing. The

was a fine game until the sixth. and
after that-but here's the story
Howard made his first appear
ance in game at home this season
and opposed TO him was Red Nelson,
who is in fine fettle at the present
time. Howard seemed to be in his
last season form until the swat fest
began in the sixth, and it looked like
another pitchers battle, for awhile.
The Distillers counted one in the
second, which was enough to win the
game. After Rohn had gone out TO
Berger, the latter making one of the
most sensational catches for many a
day, Donnelly singled, stole second
and took third too, when Gilmore's
throw went to center field Lewee
was walked and Raymond hit to Cook
who let the ball get away in an at
tempt to make double and Donnelly
scored
In the sixth Wolfe landed on one .oi

The Christmas Trees Again.

1t seems rather late to keep up tho
discussion as to the effects on our for
ests of cutting several millions OF
Christmas trees each year, but there
are other Christmas seasons to come
and the forestry experts are still hay
irg their say on the subject 1t will
be recalled that Chief Pinchot of the
National Forestry Bureau declared that
the cutting of these small trees is 4
benefit rather than an injury. His
view seemed to surprise many people
and not a few adverse comments have
been made. Now comes Frederick
Law Olmstead the eminent landscape
architect and forestry expert who
agrees fully with Mr.. Pinchot.
Mr.. Olmstead writes to the Boston
Advertiser that the apprehension that
spruce for pulp WOOD is menaced, is
groundless. inasmuch as balsam frs
are used and not spruce. Il cannot
remember ever having seen a native
spruce used or sold for a Christmas
tree" he writes. while the cut
ting now being done for paper pulp is
to large extent wastefully conducted,
without due regard for the future crop
or the economic value of the land
after the removal of the present stand
the Christmas trees are, 1 believe, in
large proportion cut off land which
is actually raised in economic value
by their removal. Good marketable
Christmas trees cannot be cut in the
dense woods, except in so far as. the
otherwise nearly useless tops of large
trees are used for this purpose.
They must ordinarily be got from To-
calities where they have grown up
scateringly in open land. SO as not to
have lost the needles from their side
branches by shading each other. They
are obtained thus in vast quantities
from the pastures in Maine and other
| northern states. where the inter
minable springing up of fir and spruce
| seedlings, wind sown from the neigh.

The New Orleans Picayuna finds q
bright side to the failure of the South
to attract immigration from Europe
and figures out that in the long run it
will be a fine thing for that section
and will bring about a unique solution
of the Southern problem. Says the
Picayune: Fortunately for the South,
it is able to secure but a small part OF
the immigration that is flooding the
Northern states at the rate OF i million
a year. The prospect is that South
ern Europe will in the course Of few
years empty its entire pauper and
criminal population into our Northern
states, with the result that Americans
born, not being able to compete with
the foreigners in thrift and stiffness.
will remove to the Southern states,
where the greatest progress and de-
velopment are to take place, so that the
crusade which a sectional government
is making against the South in the
matter of foreign immigration will
finally prove the greatest blessing pos
sible"
