PRUNE TREES

Severe Annual "Slashing". So
Commonly Practiced BY I'm.
skilled Persons Should
Not BE Tolerated.

The severe annual "slashing" SO
commonly practised by unskilled per-
sons on many of our city street trees
should not be tolerated by the au-
thorities.
Eyergreens should never be trimmed
In the fall. and the cider wood should
not be cut.
Vigorous growing vines. like the
Virginia creeper. may have practically
all the secondary growth cut away
during the dormant season, as this
dies Of itself sooner or later thus
forming lodging for dust, insects and
sparrow nests.
When pruning roses. the stems
should be shortened one-third to one
half. The gardeners rule is to cut
back the weak growing varieties
severely. and the stronger ones less.
The ideal street tree like the ash,
locust. poplar. cottonwood or walnut,
has a well-defined trunk with lateral
branches uniformly arranged about.

healthy trees should be planted. and
these headed six or seven feet high

matter should not be hurried. A GEN.

where their growth is too open, to Sc

stantial form. This latter Ia neces-
sary because street trees are subject
TO damage from windstorms more than
other trees. Interfering or scraggy
limbs should be cut out as fast az they
appear. while large branches that be-
gin to bend down should be removed

pearance OF severe cutting. After

TELLS MURPHY
WHERE TO Land

New York, Feb. 1.-The neat little
panning that Thomas J. LYncn, the
new president of the National league
mas given to Charles Webb Murphy.
the bos Of the Chicago Cubs, is de-
lighting baseball fans beyond measure.
not so much because of the the ynerits
of the controversy, but because IL has
convinced National league followers
that at least the league has an execu-
tive not afraid to speak his mind. even
to the head of a three time pennant
winning team.
Murphy is the one man responsibIe
for Lynch's occupancy of the presi-
Dental chair. 1t was the rotund lit
tie ChicaGoan who led the fight
against John Heydley and engineered
the blockade in the National league
meeting that finally resulted In the
selection of Lynch as a compromise
candidate.
When Murphy denounced the work
OF the Joint Rules Committee of the
National and American league, he ran
afoul of Mr.. Lynch. Lynch's reply to
Murphy covers about 600 words. In
effect it says:
and it is no more his business what
the Rules Committee does than II is
the business of any other club owner
in the two leagues. The committee
acted for both leagues and not for
Murphy"
For years the National leagues
greatest weakness was declared to be
a lack of firmness and aggressiveness
in its chief executive. In one pro-
nunciamento Lynch has removed the
fear of a continuance of this danger
according to New York fans.
The gist of Murphy's criticism of the
work Of the Rules Committee was that
the proposed changes are all in favor
of the American league, and were
dictated by his arch enemy, Ban john
son. Rather than obey the dictates of
johnson, Murphy assumed to say that
the National league would go ahead
and adopt a 16S-game schedule, re-
gardless Of what action the American
league takes. Reply to this Lynch
says:
I'VE have drafted both 154 and 16s
for consideration at the February
game schedules, and both will be ready
for consideration at the February
meeting. 1t Is up to the National
league club owners to decide which
one they want.
President Ebbets of the BROOKLYN
club, the strongest advocate of the
longer schedule, says he will vote for
shorter schedule IL it is found to
be in the interest of harmony.

RICHARD
HAS PERMISSION

Chicago, Feb. Fired wey, real
estate man and owner of the Wilson
hotel at Salt Lake City, who is in close
touch with the fight situation there,
was here yesterday and revealed new
angles on the Jeffries- johnson fight,
which Tex Rickard claims will take
jlace in Salt Lake City July T.
According to Mr.. wey, the fight
surely will take place in Salt Lake
City July 4 at noon. He made this
statement emphatic by pointing out
that fights have been held in the Nor
mon state for the last ten years with
no interference from the state author
tiles The articles of agreement drawn
by Jeffries and Johnson call for a box
ing contest said Mr.. Wey, who added
that no law exists in Utah to prevent
such contests.
The Saltair pavilion, i'm which the
fight will be held, is situated on Salt
lake over about five feet of water"
said Mr. Wey. "At present it is in
control of the son of the president of
the Mormon church. Rickard has made
arrangements with the present proprie
tor whereby the fight promoter will
have complete control of the pavilion
for two months in advance of the fight
and will make all changes that are
necessary. In return, Rickard is to
give the proprietor a certain interest
in the fight.
TT is the present plan of Rickard to
take out the bicycle track and build
seats in its place. The ring win be
pitched in the center of the arena and
seats built around it and in every other
available place. The building at pres
ent seats about 5000 people, and when
the present changes are complete about
$4,000 people can be accommodated
THE price of seats will range from
IS to $50. Salt Lake people wanted
Rickard to charge $100 for ringside
seats, but the promoter settled on $50.
Two hotels are in the course of con-
struction, and these, with the number
already in town, will amply take care
of all who arrive.
'Ninety-nine per cent of the people
in Salt Lake City and the surrounding
country are In favor of having the fight
there, and as long as the articles call
for a boxing exhibition, the people of
Salt Lake City do not anticipate any
interference from the governor. Rick
ard has the support of the Mormon
church"
