SPORTING SIDELIGHTS

Have you hedged on your bet that the
Pirates will win?
The Tigers and the Pirates will renew
hostilities in Pittsburg to-day. providing
II does not snow. Come on. you Ty Cobb;

A dispatch received late last night SAYS
that a Pittsburg rooter became so in
censed at the Detroit victory yesterday
that he grabbed a stuffed tiger in front
of fur store and tore it to pieces. Can
you beat il?
One OF Georgetowns former football
stars. Abaticchio, brother Of the famous
baseball player. was an interested spec
tator at the Hilltoppers' game against
Washington College Saturday.
An English critic says: The failure OF
the Kings colt Minoru In the St. Leger
makes good the estimate Of the best
critics that he is not a cup horse. Sheer
gameness and clever riding on the part
of Jones won the Derby for Minoru. and
1t is a question whether he will ever win
another long-distance race when the COM
pany Is really good. Ii is quite possible.

TO beat him over that distance"
The Washington club will look more
than ever Ike rehash Of the old De-
troit team next year. Jerry Downs. who
used to be substitute second baseman on
the Tigers, will join the Nationals in
the spring. Jerry failed TO make good
with Detroit. but he had great season
with Minneapolis. Cantillon shifted him
from his American Association club to
the Washingtors before he had reason
TO hesitate about putting good men back
into the Johnson organization With
Schaefer. Killifer and Downs in the in
field, the McAleer club will resemble a
cast-off Tiger outfit a lot.

Leaves and Fruits Tree
Damaged.

A Germantown physician sent to
State Zoologist Surface two sets Of
leaves in bad condition, one having
been taken from a Seokei pear tree
and the other from Magnum Bon
um plum tree. The trees were
planted last fall, ard the physician
asked for ~ diagnosis. " and sug.
gestion as to a cure, 'if such is pos
sible..p
The answer Of Prof. Surface was
to the effect that the plum trees are
suffering for the lack OF moisture,
which has caused the leaves to
shrivsl and appear as If burnt. while
the leaves of the pear tree show
evidence Of the work of the pear
leaf slug (Caliros osrasi).
This psar.leat slug the profess.
or continued, ''is q serious pest of
the leaves of pear trees, eating away
the green epidermis and making the
leaves look exceedingly brown and
scorched. Similar slugs feed on
the leaves of The cherry trees aud DO

more easily destroyed. busting
with slakel Inns alone is sufficient to
kill them. Their bodies are always
moist and the fresh caustic lime
coming in contract with them seems
to burn them and destroy them. A
mixture of one part OF Paris green in
thirty parts of lime before dusting
them is advisable. If the lime be not
on hand, they can be killed by dust
ing with a dilute mixture of Paris
green aud flour. using one part of the
former TO thirty PARTS of the latter.
They can also be killed by spraying
with arsenites, such as arsenite of
lead, or Paris green applied as for
the codling moth or other chewing
insects on the leaves. and they can
be killed by contact insecticides, such
as are recommenped for sucking In
sects.
s'With- such diversity of efficient
remedies it is easy to get rid Of pear.

really not slugs but the larvae of a

Old Folks Picnic.

Those who attended the old folks
picnic Labor Day at the Pines, the
pleasant home of Arthur N. Roe and
wife near Branchville, N. J. were
charmed with the place and its sur
ronudings and overwhelmed with
the hospitality OF the host and host
ess. The Pines is a beautiful location
surrounded with natural woods aud
the beauty and attractiveness is an.
hanced by the TIVE artificial ponds
and the neatness and taste displayed
in ornsmenting them and the grounds.
You are in the heart of nature, with
rocky cliffs, graceful forest trees and
revelation of new attractIons at
every tour.
The picnic was largely attended by
Jerseyites with considerable sprink-
ling Of those from a distance and a
number from Milford. The Hamburg
band furnished good music and a
Male quartette from jersey City was
highly appreciated. Addresses were
made and at the close a permanent
organization was affected. The old
est lady present was Sarah F. Keyes,
aged 91 Of Halsey N. ], and the old
est gentleman Lewis Eaton of Au-
gusts, aged s5. Sixty-three persons
were registered whose ages were over
seventy years. Il was a happy day
for many who renewed old aequaint-
lanceships and talked over former
oocurrances, and no doubt the next
meeting win be eagerly anticipated
An accident, which at first prom
ised to mar the day but which fortu-
nately turned out with no very seri-
Gus effects, happened Just at the be-
ginning. An old gentldman, Henry
