Rounds Of Bases-Losers
Make Three

The Western F. A. nine defeated
Colegrove at Colegrove yesterday after
noon in a game which was character
lied by the heavy batting of the West

off the delivery of Valdez and COM
bined with errors the game was an
easy one for the visitors.
UP to the fifth inning the game bore
the semblance only of a contest, but in
the sixth inning the Western players
began to straighten out the curves of
Valdez and after that the game was
never in doubt.
The feature Of the game was the
batting of J. Wilson, who slammed out
three hits, two of them being good for
two bags.

The Santa Fe team of San Bernardino

Errors by the Racycles were costly
and the batting and pitching aided
materially in bringing victory to the
home team. Nelson and Brogden were

latest move is in the direction of a
heavy saving in transportation ex-

Although the date is at leave Ave
months distant and indoor track work
has hardly commenced, schools in
this section of the country are already
writing for information concerning the
Third Annual Tri-State meet, which
will be held at the athletic field some
time during the month of May.
The first school to write for informa-
ton and even go so far as to inquire
for entry blanks is the Moline High
school. 1t will be remembered that
Moline was represented by one athlete,
Wayland by name, who through excel.

championship Officials found it hard
to arrive at a conclusion as to what
disposition to make of the loving cup

Glen Parsons, who has been identi-
fed with High school athletics for
several years, is manager of the meet
and is already formulating plans to
make the outdoor event a big one.
An early start is being made and
everything done to make it the biggest

quoted as saying:

Burlington's guards appeared quite
strong and for this reason and two
forwards, Chuck" King and Paul King
were compelled to rely not upon their
own ability but rather upon the
skill Of Allen and the guards and play
the bali to them for baskets. In this
department of the game Dadant and
Belknap were equal to the emergency

the ball for a final shot instead of the
forewards and the same strategy being
worked with Allen escaping his op

Belknap will probably show the
most improvement during the next

should work up wonderful speed. He

coming season the organization viii I

However, it is not to be construed that
expenses will be cut down where they |
are absolutely essential for good base
ball, but merely that no money will be
thrown to the winds in haphazard
sort of way.
Instead of five umpires as ! had
during the greater part of last seasan,
said President Justice, Il am going to
sign but four. but they will all be men
of high rank in the profession and en-
TREY capable Also the corners will
be knocked off, in various ways to
lessen the running expense of the
league" BY this he means that 70
extravagant ventures will be made
and no needless expense incurred.
Three Unnpires Signed.
Justice was able to state Saturday
that he has already signed three indi-
Gator men, but will not give out the
names until the contracts are returned
and the fourth man is included in the
list. None of last seasons men have
been retained and thus the sheet will
be clean one. While their names
are not known, Mr.. Justice made the
statement that they should be able to
give perfect satisfaction if their past
record and the recommendations are
any evidence of what they can do. Con
siderable difficulty was experienced
last season with umpires and the stu
alton is not to be repeated. Among
the applicants, and there are many, Is

Last summer many cherry trees In
various parts of Iowa we're stripped

Pear trees also are attacked by this
pest, perhaps even more than cherry
trees, hence the common name of the
insect. This slug feeds on thesupper

Leaves thus eaten by the slugs dry

leave the trees entirely bare of foliage.

appears in June and the slugs be-
