BASE BALL NOTES.

The Brooklyn National league team will start for Jacksonville, Fla, on March 10 in the care of Manager Pat Donovan, who expects the team to be ready for practice on March 15. They will remain in Florida until March 31, when they will start north, playing at Montgomery, Birmingham, Atlanta. Nashville and Evansville, arriving home on April 13.
 Connie Mack says that if a series of games between the Philadelphia Athletics and the Chicago Cubs is played at New Orleans in the spring it will not be until Charley Murphy has given his consent Mack says he wrote Murphy some time ago that the games could be played on March 14, 15 and 16, but that Murphy replied declining the issue and giving as an excuse that the dates were too early. Mack now states that the Athletics will meet the Cubs at any time and under any fair conditions that Mur- phy may name.
 The Chicago White Sox, according to Owner Comiskey. will train in California in the spring and next year will go to Honolulu. Comiskey was always fond of long journeys and be- lieves that they do the players a world of good, if only because of the change of scene. The Sox will leave the Windy City about the middle of next month and will probably go direct to Los Angeles. Then they will proceed through Texas and come back home by way of Cincinnati. perhaps. The Sox went to Mexico City last year. but the trip was rather frosty from all accounts, as the natives did not take kindly to our great national game.

RECORDS OF THE PLAYERS
How the State Leaguers Stand in the Race That is Now in
 Progress.

Watt, although contributing 147 toward his teams total, still leads in the individual averages with Johnson of New Haven and Beardsley of Wa terbury good seconds. If James doesn't brace up another week will see him lose the lead.
 The New Haven team takes the lead in pinfall honors once more and at their present pace should hold the lead for some time to come. No new high individual strings were rolled Tuesday with the exception of Diver of Waterbury, who added several to his 139 that has been standing for weeks.
 A new man, and good one, too has entered the league, Collett of New Haven. who starts off with 1855 aver age.
 The following are the figures to dHtp.

LAJoIE's LONG HITS.
Cleveland Crack a Terror to Pitchers,
 Even When Breaking into Game.

'I remember very well our first introduction to Laioie." said Jimmy McAleer at a flaming bee at the American league meeting. Mig Cuppy was then about the most ef- fectiye pitcher the Cleveland club had, when Larry broke into the Ma tional league. We struck Philadei- phia soon after and the first time Larry came to bat he smashed the ball out to left center for three bases
 We roasted Cuppy to a turn. You know we were always fighting among ourselves. and We certainly did hand 1t to him after letting this big youngster clout the ball so easily. The next time Larry came to bas moved over into left center. and Larry hit a mile to right center Then ve handed Cup9y a few more things. and he became furious. He worked like a demon the rest Of the game. and Larry stopped with those two long hits.
 Well. that vas all for about week. Then one day. when We we're going out to the park Cuppy pulled ont a bunch of box scores cut from the newspapers

ing should be done when the trees
are dormant. There is an idea prev
alent that we will injure our trees by
pruning in the winter time. There
is no foundation for such an idea eX-
cept that it is not advisable to cut off
limbs while they are frozen. When
the trees are not frozen and the
ground is in such condition that you
can get about in the orchard, then you
can safely prune. By doing your prun-
ing during the winter you will have
more time for other work in the
spring.
Whether we spray in the winter de-
ponds on the object we have in view.
If you have the black spot canker you
should spray in the fall. You may
spray in the winter for the San Jose
scale, and some of our Experiment
Stations have recommended spraying
in the fall or winter and tnen again
in the spring. But I have found by
actual experience that one spraying
in the spring before the leaves put
out will completely control the San
Jose scale. Spraying twice then is
one spraying thrown away. 1t costs
too much to go over an orchard thor
oughly with the lime-sulphur spray to
throw one spraying away. Some peo-
pie have strange ideas about spraying
anyhow. A man from Missouri spent
a few hours with me in my orchard
this past fall. He was very nice
man and fruitgrower with 200 acres
in apple orchard. He was anxious to
learn about the San Jose scale. He
said that the scale had never made
it's appearance in his orchard, but he
feared it would, and that he sprayed
with the lime-sulphur as a preventive!
| told him that such spraying was
absolutely useless. Then he said thar
at least it was beneficial in fertilizing
the orchard! Remembering where he
was from, I Showed" him his mis-
takes. He thought that the lime on
the bark of the trees would fertilize
them by being absorbed into the cir
culation! Such ideas are the founda-
ton for rubbing decoctiens on the out
side of trees or boring holes into them
to get the dopes into the circulation.
This lesson will be learned if we
make study of plant physiology that
nothing except carbon can get into
the circulation of the sap unless it en-
ters through the roots while in the
liquid state. The carbon comes in
through the leaves. Not even water
can enter the trees except through the
roots. Judge of my surprise when

Good
Trees

The planter who sets in
his orchard other trees
than the best he can buy
is making a serious mis-
take.
A good tree at a fair
price is cheaper than a
pood tree or one of ques-
tionable worth, as gift.
Orchard land is too val
liable to be encountered
with trees that will be a
long time in bringing re-
turns.
Our trees are grown on
the Yakima Reservation,
isolated from old orchards,
being as a consequence
free from pest or disease,
and, possessing a splendid
root system, they make a
rapid growth and come in
to early bearing.
Agents everywhere.

Race Track Gambling In Louisiana

Governor Sanders of Louisiana has signed the Locke bill, and it will go into effect in 30 days, thus affecting the summer and. fall meetings in that state as we'll as the winter races which have long been prominent features of life there.
 The new law will probably close or keep closed all the tracks in that state, for it renders all men connected with them subject to both fine and impris- onment if betting of any sort Is car ried on in or near them. The penalty is not fine or Imprisonment, but is fine and Imprisonment. An offender must be fined not less than $100 and imprisoned not less than six months. To engage in racing that admits of bookmaking and the like in Louisiana is therefore an invitation to spend term in jail or in the penitentiary. The law is brief, but drastic, and is probably modelled on the new anti gambling law of New York
 When race-track gambling is stopped in New York and New Orleans blow has been struck that will prove fatal to it throughout the 46 states. Pos sibly gambling on the prices of grain, cotton and stocks will reap some of the harvest heretofore gathered at race tracks, and there is a tendency in many states to regulate and even to prohibit all transactions in which no goods are handled-toregard them, in other words, as mere bets on future prices. All these efforts may not lessen the craving for extra hazards, but they are evidence at any rate of higher moral tone in semi-public affairs.

of for Maine.

A party of exhuberant boys left over the Southern railway yesterday after noon for Camp Oxford, Me, where they expect to have a glorious outing. The party was made up of Vernon, Henry and William Badham, sons of MT. H. L. Badham; Webb and Cherry Crawford. sons of MT. w. w. Crawford; William Harsh son of MT. G. R. Harsh; and Arthur Adams, son of MT. A. A. Adams. They will be joined at Danville, Va, by George Cunningham. The party is in charge of MT. Ed Crawford. teller and assistant cashier of the American Trust and Savings bank, and Mrs. H. A. Bad ham, mother of MT. H. l.. Badham, ac companies the boys as far as New York city. Camp Oxford, whither the young sters journey, Is an established insti- tction and is an ideal place for young chool boys. It is conducted by well known educators and while the moral atmosphere is all that could be de- sired, no fixed rules are observed, and there is no unreasonable restraint. The boys in camp may study or read If they choose or they may play all the sum luer long. They will make various short excursions and will visit White mountain and other places of interest down east" The party will not re- turn until September, when the schools open.

Farewell Banquet To Jackson.

A farewell banquet was given last night at the Young Mems Christian associa- ton by the friends of J. P. Jackson, the general secretary. who leaves shortly for Atlanta to take up the work there.
 Some 40 of MT. Jackson's former CO., workers and devoted friends were gath cred around the table. and they gave him a hearty send off to his new home with many good wishes as we'll as congratu- lations on his past success in Birming- ham.
 While deep regret was expressed that MT. Jackson had given up his labor here, the informal gathering was full of good humor. At the appropriate time Toast master Ned Wheeler presented MT. Jack son with a beautiful silver tea set ex- pressing the appreciation of the boys for his six years with them.
 An attempt Is being made to find a sec- retary to fill MT. Jacksons place, but as yet no one has been located.

Auto Passenger Service.

'The inauguration of an automobile service between Anniston and Jackson vile may be the forerunner of more general use of the horseless carriage in the transportation of passengers and freight" said citizen of Anniston yes- terday.
 "Anniston and Jacksonville are 12 miles apart, and 1t is planned to make sev- eral round trips each day. The service is backed by business men of Anniston. A large touring car of Is passenger ca pacity has been purchased.
 with the building of better roads in the country this service might be inaugu- rated with profit. and for the general benefit of the public between many places that are not far distant from each other and where railroad service Is thought to be inadequate or entirely lacking.
 Many towns in South Carolina, where fine public highways are being built, nl- terurban auto lines are operated to great advantage and are said to be giving good returns to their operators"

celerated if the immigrant would lend a hand to do it.
 Assistant Secretary Wheeler is en- gagged in opening government intelli- gence offices in the larger cities of the country. He asks all who need labor in make their wants known to his intelli- gence offices, and he will then en- deavor to lay this information before the unemployed admitted aliens in the larger cities. Secretary Straus is giv- ing the subject close attention, hoping it may result in lessening the conges- tion in the cities and in satisfying the demand for labor on the farms and fruit ranches. The plan is sensible, sound and practical. It may be pater- nal, but the country can stand a good deal of paternalism of that sort
