With The Blue sox.

In the two rounds with Columbus the
locals gave the public another exhibit
ton OF the terse and rushing playing
that they are rapidly becoming famed
for. Both battles were of the variety
named and contained enough interest
ing procedure to bar fanatics from
swearing at the doorkeeper. During
the first bout the reins were given up to
Pigue, and, barring a healthy bunch of
bingles picked from his benders that
didn't count for much in the long rum
the lads work went down on the note
worthy card. Three runs were all that
the clan had time to dig out from the
curriers' Of the slab-gun with the visitors,
and this was just two more than PAGES
Sheer Pluggers needed to place the
other side against the wall. Elliott is
the latest addition, and the chap figures
out to be the best ever considering both
his playing and hitting points. His lay
out is third, wherein he made straight
succession of star-acts to fit in Fridays
scrap.
Fate handed out hard verdict to the
locals in the second melee of this series
when the visiting crew swooped down
upon them in rallied condition and
carried off the result-act by scratch.
The concluding figures were l and 2
with the single parallel to the credit of
the Blue Sox-the two safe ones made
by the other faction being strictly hon
est but resulting from wild and unreason-
able performances. The fight lasted for
twelve innings, and pramised complete
shut-out for the clan when cold wave
of hard luck struck them and upset
everything in sight. Allan pitched a
hawless game and had the visitors at
his mercy from the start. Here is the

The slight but counting series of err
rors realized in the melee under fire
made fiat failure when it came to
growing out features. Halves took the
whole pile in then, finishing up the
round, and the kid was laying-out in a
new territory to boot. The position
was center where Webe's long-winded
catches made disloyal spectators pale
with malice. There is one thing about
this chap that fans can't get around,
and that's his mode of play. He never
varies in carrying out the performance,
and is always capable and competent
when it comes to the needed act. He
has the game just where you want it,
You can count on that.

In its native home black locust il
found along streams, on the borders Of
the forest, or singly or in groups on the
steep slopes. On slopes its principal
associates are black, red and chestnut
oaks, chestnut, pignut hickory and
maple. Along streams it grows with
ash maple, black walnut and other
trees. On forest land that has been
burned over it often grows in free
stands.
Black locust is very rapid grower,
In good situations it may make an
average height growth of one-quarter
to one-half and three-quarter inch. This
rate is sometimes maintained for % or
so years. But more frequently the rate
of growth lessons between the ages of
Is to 90 years. After so years growth
it almost entirely ceases.
ECONOMIC USES.
The timber of the locust is extern
sively used for fence posts, ties, ribs of
vessels, treenails, insulator pins and
vehicle stock, Its great durability in
contact with the soil makes it very val
liable for use in the ground, and its
toughness and elasticity give it value
where great strength is required. The
tree is also valuable for fuel, though
the most common use of locust is for
fence posts, telegraph and telephone
posts, for which purpose it is being
very extensively grown. Because of the
large proportion of heartwood, the
young wood is almost as durable in the
soil as the old locust posts under aver
age conditions. 1t will last from twenty
to thirty-five years.
PLANTING LOCUST.
The use of one-year-old seedlings is
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Ill Establishing lJldHbd-
tions of black locust. Since the locust
has wide-spreading root system, it re-
quires plenty of room for the proper
of the tree. A spacing of
four feet apart each way in the perma-
nent site is too close unless very
early Trimmings can be made. The |
trees should be set at least six feet
apart each way. In the Middle West
they should be spaced five feet apart in
rows each way.
In the Middle West, careful prepare

years after planting are essential for
growing of the locust, to Sc

FORM AND SIZE.

The black locust, known also as yell
low locust, is forest tree which usually
attains a height of from 40 to 60 feet
with diameter of from l to II feet
Under the most favorable conditions it
may reach a height of so feet and di-
ameter of feet In the forest the tree
has clear, straight stem and small
crown. In the open or when grown in
plantations, the stem tends to divide
early and more spreading and longer
crown is formed. Individual trees,
especially when grown in the open, are
likely to be crooked or twisted.
RANGE.
The natural range of black locust, or
sometimes called yellow locust, is be
lieved to have been restricted to the
Appalachian Mountains, from Pennsyl-
vania to Georgia, and to certain portions
of Arkansas and Eastern Indian Terri
tory. The tree reaches its best develop
ment on the western slopes of the
Appalachians in West Virginia.
The introduced range is much larger.
1t includes the entire region between
the Atlantic Ocean and the Mississippi
River, from Southern Canada to Florida
and extends west of the Mississippi
River, south of the thirty-eighth parallel
as far as the Rocky Mountains. Black
locust has also been grown successfully
in the valleys of Utah, Idaho, Eastern
Oregon and Washington. When
planted on irrigated land the black To-
Gust plantations in the vicinity of Salt
Lake City, Utah and Walla Walla,
Washington, are among the best in the
United States, and recent investigations
indicate that it can be grown with sue
sess in portions of California. Its actual
range for economic planting. however,
is greatly restricted by the danger Of
insect injuries. Black locust grows best
on deep, well-drained, fertile loan,
but will grow on almost any soil except
wet, heavy one 1t attains an excel
lent development ON limestone forma-
tons. The tree is very intolerant and
requires an abundance of light during
