in the last two years.
This means that the bunch of

Tacoma has grabbed ON his recent

allowed to come here. He had
signed George Hildebrand, out
fielder; Jimmy Smith, first base
man; Brynes and Bliss, eatchers

With the new outlaw agree
ment to enter the association
however, Tacoma will be up
against it. 1t will now be UP to
the Northwest league to either cut
loose and become outlaw or have
1t rubbed in hard. The magnates
think there is little to lose and
much to gain by becoming out
laws.
At the Memphis meeting of
the minors yesterday, the North
west league also lost some pres

was allowed to Memphis of the
Southern league by draft. Dug

their efforts that the estimates Of funds

reduced.

his work in that connection is about done,

SUBSTITUTES FOR HOLLY
Thousands of Red Berries Brought
From the Marshes of Lower

Persons who gather trees. holly. ever
green and other products of the woods
for Christmas holiday decorations nave
already made a start. Much material was
assembled last week, and from now I'M
til the close of the Christmas market the
sidewalks and other available space Will
be occupied by those engaged In the
business. 1t Is stated that the constant
cutting away of the pine and cedar trees
has depleted the supply in some sections,
but it is claimed there is no reason why
there should be a shortage this year or
why prices should not be about the same
as usual.
Reports from the surrounding country
Indicate that the holly this year does not
contain the usual large quantities of ber-
ries, and it is regarded as likely that less
OF the holly will be used for decorative
purposes than formerly. There was plen-
ty of attractive holly on sale in the local
markets for the Thanksgiving trade last
month and prices were about the same as
usual, but the Christmas demand is so
much greater that dealers fear they will
be unable to fill all orders for berry-bear-
ing branches.
No Shortage in Holly.
1t is stated that the long dry spell
and early frost may have affected the
holly crop in this section, but much of
the holly sold in the local markets is
shipped here from a distance. and such
shipments may be the means Of sup
plying more of the berry-bearing branch
es than dealers anticipate
Running pine, 1t is said, is also Of
an inferior quality this season. but pine
and cedar trees will be as attractive as
ever.
Thousands Of buuches of red berries have
been gathered from the marshes of lower
Maryland and shipped here for the hol-
iday trade, some shipments having been
made more than a week ago. They are
OF a bright color, and will take the
place of the holly berries to some extent.
They were gathered early in the sea-
son. to have them on hand in event of
a freeze or heavy fall of snow.
Almost every year early reports have
it that some of the green for decorative
purposes are going to be scarce. but
the dealers usually manage to get more
than enough to supply the trade. Market
men say there is really no reason to be-
lieve that there will not be an ample
supply Of the products Of the country
to decorate all the houses in the city.
