Only quite recently have trees been
planted along the edge Of the sidewalk
l.that surrounds the square where the In
| terror Department building stands. Up
to this time the vicinity has been with
out such feature Of city streets. the
lack of which In this city is sufficient to
make a, street distinctive. The only de-
parture from the general practice is to
be found on thoroughfares in the business
section where 1t is supposed the masses
of foliage interfere with the carrying on
of business. as they prevent the display
of shop signs and lessen the drawing
power Of the windows.
/ The lack of trees I'm the vicinity of the
Interior Department building is due, in the
first instance, mainly to such an influence,
as the; structure stands in the midst of
one Of the busy commercial sections Of
the city, bounded OH one side by 9Th
street and on the other by 9th street, with
G street on the north and + street on the
south. 1t Is not considered likely that
the example set in providing rows along
the immediate front of the government
building will be followed where there is
property in private ownership.
There Is no special reason why trees
have not been set out long before this on
tHo liouto vi tIllS government square, as
they Will not In any way interfere with
the main character of the locality Why
1T was not done before is probably be-
cause 1t did not occur to any one Dur
Ing the past week the same thing has
been done along the Pennsylvania avenue
front OF the State. War and Navy De-
partment building, so that hereafter that
stretch will not look as bare as 1t has in
contrast with the appearance of other
streets in that locality, and especially
across the street, where the wooded
space Of Lafayette Square resembles the
effect of a forest.
Characteristic of the City.
This extension of the tree planting
along the city streets, as well as the
care which is bestowed on the growing
trees. and the promptness with which
new streets or extensions of streets are
supplied with such a feature, indicates a
growing interest on the part Of the public
and the public authorities in what is
easily the most distinguishing char
acteristic of the city. 1t is hardly possible
to imagine the appearance Of the city
without the masses Of foliage which the
endless lines Of trees along the streets
supply.
There is no city in the world that can
compare in the number of trees within
urban borders. except Paris, while in the
luxuriance Of their growth and attrac-
tiveness there is no city in the world
that is in the same class. In mere num-
bers it is now officially reported there
are one hundred thousand street trees
in this city, but very few persons have

Ears we're picked only from strong
vigorous stalks OF medium height,
having an abundance OF large,
broad leaves and these ears OF corn
mad been fertilized by pollen produc-
ed on the same sort OF a strong
plant.
A few OF the very choicest OF these
ears We have In q rack by them
selves. The grains from these are
TO be honored by being planted IN
an extra tine piece OF ground, about

shall select our entire crop of seed

Now. II We take this good seed

humus. We Will expect just as good
results as the stockman obtains who
takes his well bred live stock and
half staryes 1t. We know IL is not
good sense TO do this. and We know
II our corn land is in the above con-
dition that the neighbors will have

we must have humus. We have

q ONE pitchers who were successful in
1909 in the National league were
- top heavy with success. The ques-
ton among baseball enthusiasts is
whether they are likely to be able to
repeat this season their good work
Owing to the decisive manner in
which the Pittsburg club won the
championship the results of 1909, as far
as the championships were concerned,
were a queer motley Of young blood
triumph woven with plentiful mixture
of old blood merit. Every victory for
Piftsburg in which one of the younger
pitchers figured, was another credlt
mark TO two men who contributed
prominently to the success of the cham
pionship club. They were Camnitz and
Adams. Last year was their best year.
In the case of Adams it was the year
which made him fame. If he can re-
near his success this year, and if Cam
nitz can do as well as he did for the
champions. Pittsburg begins the season
with two known quantities
II is true that the worlds champion
shin series gave Adams his greatest
reputation. owing TO the important
Mace in which he was thrust TO hold
the honor of a worlds victory for his
team but ii must not be forgotten that
what work he did for the Pittsburg
club during the lS-oSO4A u eAAO
National league was excellent
In 1909 Camnitz, Adams, Leifield and
Willis pitched 96 games for the Pitts
burg club. These constituted two
thirds of the total number of games
which were scheduled for the team. OF
this number they won 6S and lost 2S.
Their percentage of victories was about
20 of the total in which they engaged.
II is evident that a quartet of pitchers
which can work well enough to assist
in winning 20 percent of the total num-
her of games in which they take part
constitute a force to be reckoned with
seriously by opposing managers
In the season now at hand Willis
must be eliminated as a factor in the
success of the Pittsburg club, since his
services have been transferred to st.
.T,oris More of the work of the year
70 come must, therefore, devolve on the
Younger pitchers of the Pittsburg team.
Camnitz took part in 81 games last
seeson- which is probably about all that
can be expected from pitcher Of his
efvle during the year. Leifield worked
4, 81 games. a fair average for left
handler. Adams was tina principal in
hut Is games, and only assisted in some
of those Indications for this season
noint TO the fact that the Pittsburg
management is so confident of his gen
eral ability that he will become the
leader in more contests in 1910 than he
was in 1909.
The one most striking fact in regard
TO the Pittsburg pitchers in 1910 is
that the club thinks il can afford TO
go on without Willis, who had % vic
tories to his credit in 1909, against II
defeats

Top Heavy With Success in 1909 Must Bear
the Brunt of Work In 1910.

Some may believe that the Pittsnurg
management is rushing into an expert
ment which may prove disastrou rath-
er than helpful, but the facts have been
given as they stand and the reader is
at liberty TO draw his own conclusions
as to the possibilities for the year TO
come.
In the Chicago club there is a known
pitching force. with Mordecai Brown at
the head. His principal assistants are
Overall and Reulbach. The expression,
known pitching force" is used from
the fact that all of these players have
stood the test of hard work in more
years than one and their ability and
merit are well understood The most
important fact to be taken into consid-
GRAFTON so far as they are concerned is
that which is to be reckoned with all
yeteransItheir ability to stand another
season of grueling contests for a cham
the race for the championship this year
will be easier than thar of other years.
Pfeister, the left hand pitcher, may
also as well be included in this list.
These pitchers were capable of more
service than their four contemporaries
in Pittsburg. They took part in 119
games last year. OF these they won
SO and lost &c. Their percentage Of vic
tories was just shade lower than 20.
As compared with the Pittsburg quar-
tet, their work should be considered
on par with the four mentioned of
the champions. for they took part in
more games, and their greater availa-
bility makes them valuable asset for
a baseball club to win. Hence the
known pitching strength of the Pitts

team in the world must succumb to
the toll which time insists must be paid.
and while its purpose TO conquer may
be as brave and as determined as it
was in the past. the execution is just
that trifle of a second slower which
increases the possible advantage of its
opponents.
Chance at first base, Evers a sec

~ INCINNATTS best pitcher in 1903
was Gaspar. 1t was his initia-
tive year as a steady worker in
the box for major league club. He
did not attain such perfection as men
like Camnitz. Mathewson or Brown. but
he was willing enough 10 work, for he
pitched in 80 games during the season.
of which he won 10. His next best
teammate in the box was Fromme, a
pitcher who had been secured from St
Louis. Fromme pitched even more
games-32-and won 19 of those After
them came Ewing, who took part in %
games, and Rowan, who pitched the
same number. Thus it is apparent that
four men shouldered the responsibility
in more than 100 games for Cincinnati
last year aid did the bulk of the work.
None of these four was what may be
called pitching star. and all four We're
men of such physique that they were
ready to go in the box about as often
as they could be assigned.
Ewing is not to be looked upon as
part of the Cincinnati pitching force
this season. for he has been transferred
10 the Philadelphia club. To take his
place in part comes Beebe, another will
ing worker, who was with ST. Louis last
year. Hope is entertained by Cincin-
natl that Spade will be a successful
man this season. and, like other mines.
Griffith has his younger talent to try.
As useful as the Cincinnati pitchers
may be there is an impression that the
team generally would be more reliant
and more confident if it had one pitch
er of the type which is good enough
to win twothirds of his games. The
pitcning force can hardly be said to

ran and possibly Killing. is looked upon
to bear the brunt of the work
There were not a few I'M 1909 who
affected to note that they had discov-
cred a gradual diminution of speed
on the part OF the Chicago players
Some went so far as 10 pick out indivld-
uals who were less aggressive and
agile than they had been in the past
Occasionally a falling off in their work
might have been in evidence, but the
falling of a single individual would
not work so disasTrously to the club
I'm general as inability on the part Of
more than one TO play with the speed
which characterized the Chicago club
in its brightest days.
