No Runs on Six Hits.

Several times 1t has been asked
how a team can make six hits in an
inning without having a run cross the
plate 1t can be done as follows: The
first batter knocks a triple to the out
field and Is thrown out at the plate
trying to stretch it into home run.
The same fate happens to the second
batter, giving them two hits and two
men out. The third batter beats olt
hit to the pitcher; the fourth man
beats out a bunt to the third baseman
and the fifth beats out hit to the
first baseman. This fills the bases
with two men out and five hits Sc
cured. The next batter knocks a line
drive that strikes the man running
from second to third, putting him out.
The run that crosses the plate does
not count as three men are out, and
the batter is credited with hit, ac.
cording to the scoring rules This
gives the team six hits without run.
Records do not show that it has ever
occurred, but it is possible

Frog Fasts for Years.

Ashland, Wis.--R. II. Gregory of this
city has demonstrated that the theorz-
of frog living without food or water
is beyond doubt the truth. Gregory
made an experiment after reading a
magazine statement that frogs have
been known to live hundreds of years
while sealed in brick wall.
Securing frog, Gregory placed il
in the hollow of tree and sealed II
with cement Years passed and the
man forgot the frog. Gregory was
mere boy when the creature was shut
out from liberty.
A few years ago the tree was
broken. Gregory had mis- attention
called to the hollow, the cement break
ing with the fall of TIE tree Remov.

live and hearty as when II had been

MAKE FARM HOMES TASTEFUL
Practical Suggestions for Beautifyins
Country Residences in Any
Locality.

Farming differs from every other sort
of business in this, that the farm is
not merely a factory and place of
business, but it is the home OF the
family writes Prof. F. A. Waugh, of
the Massachusetts Agricultural Col
lege, in Orange Judd Farmer The
Importance of the farm as the home
establishment is much greater than
it's importance as place of business;
and this makes it imperative that the
place should be supplied with every
available comfort and made attractive
with every sort of beauty which sub
stantial good taste can suggest.
The ordinary schemes of landscape
gardening are not very suitable to the
common farm. This is largely be-
cause the ambitious landscape garden
ers do not sufficiently consider the
use of the farm as a factory and
place of business. The best that can
be done in most cases is for the farm
er, his wife and other advisers, to de-
velop the grounds to the best of their
own judgment and in the light of ac-
tual requirements. A few suggestions
from the standpoint of landscape
Washington telegraph., 1909-09-24
BACK NA9 o

gardener, who is at the same time
himself farmer, may be of some as
sistanee in this direction.
Simplicity is the keynote of good
taste u e=szsything. Therefore. lei
the desl9ds6f the farm grounds be
very simple. Do not try anything
elaborate. Do not make the place
look Gifted.
Have good lawn. Nothing is more
tasteful and satisfactory than good,
clean. green grass. Even if the lawn
is not very large and not eleborately
graded. it will still be the most attsac-
tive Fart of the place. Have a few
good trees. Nothing is more attrac'
tive about a farmhouse, with the pos
sible exception of lawn grass, than
large, digniied, noble trees.
For shrubs and other ornamental
plants, use native species. The COM
mon native shrubs and plants are
among the best of all oranmentl ma
terials.
If flower beds are desired, put them
at the side or rear of the house, pre-
ferably in connection with the vege-
table garden. Flower beds are usu-
ally nuisance on the front lawn, and
nearly always inappropriate about
farmyard.
Keep the front yard separate from
the back yard. Everyone will readily
remember a great many farms where
this simple injunction is highly disTe'
garded 1t is not unusual to find
milk wagon or a chicken coop or hay
rack left in the front yard of a farm
house. Such things do not belong
there.
Have some space about the house
so arranged that it can be used for
living and playing. We do not live
out Of doors as much in this country
as we orght to-. This statement ap
plies even to farm families. A suit
ably built open porch, paved court, or
clean Grass plat, makes a delightful
place for serving meals. Very often
it is pleasanter to eat out OF doors
than IN the house, and If deflnlte
plans are made, this is much easier
than might be supposed. There
should also he room in the garden for
playing croauet. a>secluded and shady
spot where one can sit down to read
or sew and if the women OF the mouse
wish to give party on the lawn
there ebould be every opportunity for
it,
Keen the place clean and tidy. This
is final evidence Of gocd taste ana an
absolutely necessary condition in eY'
cry circumstance.

J. OWEN WILSON OF TEXAS,
BUCCANEERS SILENT MAN
Cowboy Member of Pittsburg Team Is
Great Throwing Fielder and
Fixture In Garden.

j. Owen Wilson is the cowboy MEN,
Der of the Pittsburg team. He comes
from the wild and woody west and
has all the nerve and stamina befit-
ting native of that district. He was
born and raised in Texas and all the
delicate edges were worn off by con-
stantly rubbing sleeves with the west
ern element before he had graduated
into mans estate.
He plays right field for the Pirates
and plays 1t well. He is member of
the greatest outf1eld in the major
league, an assertion which even the
most biased writer's are forced to ad-
NIT. Clarke, Leach and Wilson-they
form trio of outer gardeners which
cannot be beaten in the National or
American leagues.
Wilson is the youngest member of
the triumvirate, but he is on the job
all the time. Incidentally he owns

one of the greatest arms In the base
ball world and 1t Is feared by the
members of every other team in the
National circuit. He is a sure fielder
and home fans have no fears when a
ball is driven to right Wilson gets 1t.
The silent man of the Pittsburg
club. That's Wilson. He is as un-
communicative as a wooden Indian,
but conscientious player and man
we'll liked and respected by his team
mates and friends
Wilson first saw the light at Austin,
the capital city of Texas, on August
21, 1883. 1t is interesting to note that
he celebrated his birthday by going
through the game between the Pirates
and Phillis without getting a chance.
He was at bat four times, but he
made no runs, no hits, no putouts.
no assists and no errors.
While with Des Moines Wilson at
tracted the attention of Fred Clarke,
the Pirate manager, and at the close
of the season he was drafted. The
Texan Joined the Pirates when the
1908 season opened and was forced to
fight for the right field job with Beals
Becker and Dan Moeller. He and
Moeller played the same number of
games, 109, while Becker participated
In SO before being released. He bat
ted 227, while Moeller batted only
1873. But Wilson was so much better
in fielding and throwing than Moeller
that he was retained. His weakness
was batting, but he has been forging
to the front ever since and has been
long regarded as fixture in right
field
