LONG JOURNEYS FOR
THE BALL TEAMS

NEW YORK. May lin connection
with the splendidly organized system OF
professional base ball there is one
feature to which the public seldom gives
a thought, and yet It is one Of the most
important matters that has to do with
the pastime.
It is the travel. Offhand one seldom
thinks Of the long journeys which the
teams Of the country are compelled to
make to fill their schedule engagements.
The extension OF territory has been 60
ing on for SO long, and the fact that
a team may play in New York one day
and in Cleveland or Pittsburg the next
has come to be SO much a matter of
common knowledge that it attracts no
attention.
Yet 1t should. In spite of the comfort
with which the Americans travel and
the great distances which they annihilate
in a night there is q certain amount of
hard work in connection with railroad life
which does wear on the players. With
out the facilities which are at our com.
mand to go from one section of the
country to another the base ball cir
cults would be much more circumscribed
than they are now. Jumps to st. Louis
from Boston. the longest route that is
traversed, would be out Of the question.
The great intersectional leagues would
be impossibilities.
AS it is. players, when making the
long journeys, are less likely to do them
selves Justice than when they have
shorter rides to fill their engagements.
The best trained athlete. and the one
who observes not carefully the require
ments Of perfect health, hardly feels at
his best when he arrives in st. Louis
after long night ride over the fiat
hot nj M nd
southern Illinois In midsummer
Occasionally there is a reversal OF form
OH the part of teams from the east
which play at st. Louis. which is at
tributed to the carelessness OF the play
ers, but. as q matter of fact, Is simply
the result Of physical WEAKNESS and
nervous worry after q railroad ride of
hundreds of miles.
An instance OF travel WEAKNESS was
in evidence this spring when the New
YORK National League club was on its
way home from Texas training quarters.
The players had been on the road al
most every night for a week. The first
time that they enjoyed a thorough rest
was in Richmond, and even then they

worn out from their long siege Of travel
on the rail. and snooxing quietly in the
special car. Yet they played ball that
afternoon as If they had rumbled down
from New York in a stage coach.
Another interesting fact In connection
with base ball clubs is that some people
live who choose to go on a train on
which ball club Is travelling in prefer
ence to any other, because they believe
that the players are lucky travellers.

YOUNG CORBETT HAS
AGAIN COME BACK

NEW YORK, May 1.-Some say they
never como back, but William Rothwell.
better known as Young Corbett, Is a liv-
Ing denial Of that old adage as applied
10 men OF the ring. Corbett today is
nearer to the weight and form Of his
championship days than he has been ct
any time In the last Ave years
When he started q course OF rigorous
training last winter the former light
weight champion weighed 1852 pounds. He
had made several previous efforts to re-
gain ms standing among the lightweights
out had Jailed on account Of weight that
made him slow In attack and on defense.
one thing he did not lose, however, was
his grit and determination.
After several futile attempts to "come
PACK Corbett finally became convinced
that he was through as a fighter. Every
time he went into the ring his alder
manic paunch made him appear that he
had not trained at all. when. as a mat
ter OF fact. he always worked hard to
| reduce this front. In all Of his fights
with eecond-raters he was slow. and they
played for his flahby front all the time
and choked of his wind.
Friends Of his prosperous days began
to avoid Corbett. who had always been
liberal spender. and after he quit the
ring he toured the country with Terry
MeGovern: The Their boxing bouts on the
came back to New York and saw q
great light. He knew he was not making
any friends by remaining idle, so he
slipped away without saying q word and
took up his abode at Johnson's roadhouse.
Corbett remained at Johnson's for some
time before he was discovered. When
the boxing experts went to see him he
had little to say. I'm going to get i'm
shape II It takes me SIX months" he
declared, and the experts noticed that his
weight was decreasing; ditto his waist
line.
And SO after two months of this rigor-
Gus training the former champion went
to New Orleans. He could not dictate
terms for his matches, but he forgot
| about the old days and hustled for

Coming on a day when American naval
officers are accustomed to observe the

In Manila bay, the officers and men of

respective staffs, headed the committee
which made the first official call on Ad-

Maj E. r. Taylor. with the presidents
of San Franciscos three greatest COM

Frederick E. Stratton, were conveyed
from the flagship West Virginia on the
cutter that carried the army and navy
delegations. and by Invitation of the fed
eral authorities, Consul General Matsuso
Nagao was made q member of the same
party. On the deck Of the Japanese flag
ship Admiral Ijichi received his guests
with all the ceremony that attended their
departure from the West Virginia.
Warm Greetings Exchanged.
After warm words Of greeting had been
exchanged the party returned to the West
Virginia, where Admiral Swinburne. half
an hour later, had the pleasure OF re-
ceiving the Japanese admiral. Naturally
enough the most enthusiastic greeting
to the squadron was that accorded their
countrymen by the thousands OF Japa-
nese who witnessed the entry from Rus
sian and Telegraph hills and from all
the piers commanding view Of the an
chOrage. Several hundred Japanese
business men of this city and prominent
representatives OF colonies elsewhere in
the state, chartered steamer and were
among the earlist visitors after Admiral
1jichfs return to his flagship.
In the Japanese quarter of the city the
flag Of the Rising Sun is everywhere in
evidence, and costly and elaborate plans
have been devised for the visiting steam
ers.

SAN FRANCISCO, May with the
booming OF salutes and the exchange OF
official visits. the Japanese training
squadron. commanded by Rear Admiral
H. Ijichi. anchored within a cables
length OF Rear Admiral Swinburne's
Pacific feet in San Francisco bay today.
Distinguished representatives Of the
city. state and federal governments were
on hand to welcome the Japanese COM
mander and his men when the two
cruisers Aso and Soya entered the Cold
en- Gate with an escort Of revenue cut
ters and excursion boats.
The collector OF the port. representing
President Taft; the lieutenant governor
OF the state and the mayor of the city
gave the Japanese admiral cordial as
surances of hospitable reception await
ing his officers and men.
Thousands of Japanese, residents or San
Francisco and the nearby cities, united
with a committee representing the i'm
portant commercial organizations OF the
city In an unofficial welcome to the visit
ors. Admiral Ijichi was Informed of the
particular appreciation OF his action In
adding two days to the length of his
stay in San Francisco bay, and in return
expressed his qualification on account OF
the program of entertainment arranged
IN the squadron nOOOc.
Admiral's Second Visit.
After he had received his ofacial callers
Admiral Ijichi said:

apples and part from the Pacific
states, while the Italian push-cart
dealers sold homegrown apples Ok
clusively to the poorer class of people.
Apple dealers from New York City
visited me during the Lewis and Clark
Fair and told me that they could not
get enough of our high-grade apples
to meet the demand, Notwithstanding
the fact that they retailed such fancy
apples at Sc per box.
The suggestion Mr.. Green makes
to the apple growers in the State of
New York to properly prune their
trees and to keep their soil in good
condition will doubtless do them good,
and they ought to heed his advice. But
that they can ELIMINATE u trade in
fancy apples by pruning and cultural
methods, l do not believe. They have
as good soil as we have-Mr. Green Is
right about that, but that is not the
determining factor in our highly col
ored apples.
In the winter of 1908 I received a
letter from some man in Tennessee
saying that he had bought a box of
our Mammoth Black Twig (Arkansas)
| apples and was amazed at the high
| color. He wrote me that he wanted to
know if the apples were properly
named and, if so, to let him know
what we put into the soil to give them
such a high color. He said he had the
Black Twig growing in his orchard,
but SO far as color was concerned his
apples would never be taken for mine.
| Richey & Gilbert of Toppenish had
sent a carload of our apples to Nash
| vile, and from this car no doubt this
man secured his box of apples. I an
| swered this man pretty fully, telling
him how we proceeded in raising our
apples. But I informed him that it
was not what was in the soil that
gave our apples such a fine color, but
what was overhead. In short, I told
him that it was not the soil, but the
climate, that painted our apples so
beautifully-that we could not send
our climate to Tennessee, but If he
wanted to get that he must sell out
and come to the Pacific Slope. Here
in our irrigated sections we have al
most cloudless skies during the sum
mer months, and this usually runs to
picking time in October. Anyone who
studies plant physiology will learn
that two things are absolutely essen
tial to high color in fruit of any kind
and especially in apples, viz. sunshine
and an adequate supply of water at
the time the fruit is ~coloring. Of
course, sunshine includes heat, but if
the altitude is SO great that heat is
deficient good color will be lacking.
Some two or three years ago some
me wrote H.. E. VanDeman, the not
ed pomologist, asking if putting iron
into the soil would not cause apples

8" inquired of the proprietors of
these Eastern fruit stores If they kept
any western New York apples for
sale. The reply was that the western
New York apples were down and out,
there being no demand for them on
account of their not being well grown
nor we'll packed. 1t is as plain as
the nose on your face that there is a
good demand in all of the large cities
for fancy apples at from 5 cents to 10
cents each, but it is equally plain
that such apples at present are grown
and packed only in the West. If you
will look in the exhibits in the Eastern
states you will see a few apples al
most equaling the Western fancy ap-
pies in appearance, but you cannot
buy a carload of these fancy apples
of any but the Western growers.
"This question arises: Are Eastern
apple growers satisfied to grow a low
grade of apples, allowing their West
ern competitors full control of the
fancy markets by means of which the
Western fruitgrowers get more for a
small box of apples containing about
a half bushel than the Eastern fruit
grower gets for a barrel of apples con-
tanning about three bushels?
ct is possible for the Eastern or
chardists to grow as fine apples as
the Western orchards produce. But
this will require new methods through
out. We have as good soil in the
East. In order to succeed in grow
ing apples we must see that the trees
are properly pruned, not only to pre-
vent over-bearing, but to permit of a
reasonable amount of sunshine to col
or the fruit; we must keep the soil
enriched and cultivated and in dry
seasons must irrigate our orchards. I
am of the opinion that it will pay to
irrigate the trees, even If water has
to be hauled for that purpose. Re-
member, there is scarcely any limit to
the expenditure of labor upon apple
trees which are producing fruit which
retails at from 5 to 10 cents each"
Remember, friends, that this is not
the testimony of a Western apple
grower who might be ~prejudiced in ia
vor of his own country, but comes
from a fruitgrower and nurseryman
of New York. No man in America
is better informed in such matters
than he is. What | want to impress
on our readers is the fact that u
fruit holds the floor when it comes to
the trade in fancy apples. Some two
years ago I published in these COL
umns a statement from an apple deal
er in New York City, in which he
stated from his own experience that
the wealthy class of people in that
city would not buy homegrown ap-
pies. but persisted in demanding the
high-grade apples from the Pacific
Coast. Another class of people, &C.
cording to the statement of this deal
err, took some of the New York grown

confined sufficiently warm in the
northern states except for winter
lambs. Ventilation is of great i'm
portance and should be ample, care
being taken to avoid direct drafts.
THE amount of space provided
for each sheep will vary with the
size of the animal. An eve weighing
100 pounds will require about ten
square feet of ground space, while
one weighing $50 pounds should
have fifteen square feet. A space
40x4O feet square will, therefore,
accommodate about 160 sheep
weighing 100 pounds each, cd 100

sheep. 1t also makes a very salts
factory place to care for the lambs
when they come; pens can easily be
made by the use of panels or hur-
dies.
Sheep pay for extra care ex-
pended on them as we'll as any kind
of farm animal. They respond to
feed and good management In a way
that is pleasing to every observing
person and thereby keeping more
vigorous and healthy, and produce
more wool and stronger, larger
lambs. Farmers in the corn belt
have become acquainted with sheep
chiefly as scavengers, but that is
only one of many points in their
favor.-American Stockman.
