the roots and thus check the
growth somewhat.


Spinach for early spring use
may now be sown. If the plants
are partially covered with leaves,
straw, etc., they should winter
all right even in cold climates.
Onions, squashes, pumpkins
and sweet potatoes should be
stored in a dry, frost proof place;
most cellars are too damp, and
room or attic is usually better
piece.
Beets in the garden are all
right where they are until the
ground begins to freeze in the
fall. Then they are best stored
in sand in cool cellar, or in pits
outdoors.
When you sell fruits, you do
not sell large quantities of plant
food from your farm. When grain
is sold, nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash are disposed of in
large quantities.
1t is, possible to SOW lettuce
now outdoors, transplant it later
to hotbeds, and force it for
Thanksgiving or later use; or it
may be transplanted to cold
frames and thus be wintered
over for early spring use.
Look out for frost late this
month. Tomato vines, etc., may
be protected cold nights by a
covering of straw, newspapers,
cloths, etc. On large fields,
smudge fires will often save a
crop from frost damage.
Onions must be kept in a cool,
well ventilated place. For this
purpose the cellar will be found
convenient.
Spread the onions out over the
floor and sprinkle airslaked lime
over them to arrest growth of
rot fungus.
Notice the apple trees and
when bitter rot is seen remove
specimens of fruit showing it.
1t is now too late to spray with
Bordeaux, but if decayed fruits
are promptly removed this dis
ease may be checked.
A reliable authority on horses
says that the gray live the long

next in order. Blacks seldom
live to be over twenty, and the
creams rarely live more than ten
or fifteen years.

Hogan and La Grave Cynosure of All Eyes in
The Local Sporting World

With Battling Nelson speeding here
to be on the ground for a meeting be-
tween the winner of tomorrow nights
four round contest between One Round
Jack Hogan and Antoine la Grave. in
terest in the affair has increased ten
fold. II all goes well, this bout will do
more TO revive the boxing game in
California than anything else that has
happened since Governor Gillett
brought down the official crusher four
months ago.
Fight fans are looking forward with
renewed hope Though the game has
been practically dead since the big
fi6sco at Reno still the admirers of the
manly art have been longing for action.
They did not want to see it killed off.
Indeed 80 per cent of them practically
went into mourning when the governor
pronounced the fatal words. They have
been longing for action ever since, but
It has been denied them, save on a few
occasions when a lukewarm sort of
show was put on.
Tomorrow nights affair looks to be
the class. Never before in the history
OF the local game has such an attract
i've four round program been arranged
for the benefit of those who like the
sport. And the fact that the winner is
to be matched with the once mighty
Nelson has added more interest to the
affair Everybody who has ever taken
a boxing contest seriously is smoked
up over this one.
On form. Hogan figures to defeat La
Grave, and defeat him decisively. For
this reason the fans have made him q
10 to favorite over the young
Butchertown terror. But at the same
time It is no cinch for Hogan. In fact.
he has bitten off the largest chunk
which he has ever attempted to chew
since he blossomed out as an exponent
Of the manly art.
very few men whom Hogan has gone
asainst in the past without scoring a
victory. They met in the ring last
summer, and after four hurricane
rounds the contest was declared a draw.
AS is usual in such encounters, each
man claimed that he got the worst of
the decision, though it certainly was
very inst one.

The San Francisco call., 1910-10-13

Since that time Hogan has been
fighting every few weeks and all his
efforts have been crowned with success.
He improved to such a marked degree
that all the fans are now agreed that
he is the most likely looking boxer of
his inches that California has produced
since the days when Jimmy Britt was
a near lightweight champion.
As his chief advisor tomorrow night
Hogan will have Jack Grace, the fa-
nous globe trotter and former trainer
of Nelson. Grace has taken quite a
shine to Hogan and looks upon him as
the coming lightweight champion.
Grace has been in Hogan's corner IN
his last three battles and much OF his
success is due to the way~the veteran
handled him. ~
More than 1000 of the Butchertown
sports viii be there to root for La
Grave. They are all with him to a
man. In fact, they can not see where
Hogan has a chance against their idol.
Like Hogan, La Grave has never yet
been beaten decisively and if Hogan
gets away with him he can win all the
money in the slaughter house district.
The men are to go at 1t under
straight marquis of Queensberry rules,
with Eddie Hanlon as the third man in
the ring. Hanlon has been doing prac-
tically all the refereeing around here
of late and he has yet to make an un-
popular decision. He was the unanf-
nous choice of the boxers and of Pro-
moter Eddie Powers, so everybody is
satisfied.
Nelson will arrive tomorrow after
noon and he will be there at the ring
side to make speech and tell the fans
how he came back" against Dale on
Monday night and how he expects to
beat the winner Of the local show and
then start after Wolgast in an effort to
win back his title.
Rufus Williams, the mysterious col
ored middle weight, is to go in against
the tough Brick BURGESS in the special
event of the card and this one looks
as though it should furnish lots of ac-
tion. Willie O'Neil, the shifty Austria
liam lightweight, and Walter Scott, the
Mission champion, are also on the bill
and in addition there will be FIVE other
mills between well known loca per-
formers

Umpire Says Lajoie.
Won Squarely

CHICAGO. Oct. 12.-President Johnson
of the American league announced to-
night that Umpire Evans, in a detailed
report regarding the Lajoie incident at
ST. Louis last Sunday. had given Lajoie
an absolutely clean bill in relation to
his securing eight hits in az double
header. The report was not made pub
lie, but will be when President Johnson
has completed his personal investiga-
ton and is ready to announce his de-
cision in the matter.
With the debate regarding Lajoies
performance becoming more heated
daily: President Johnson is said to
have offered as the best solution of the
matter the returning of the automobile.
prize to the donors of the award.
That. in the league presidents opin-
ion, would bury the unpleasantness
but, in order 10 reward the players just
the same, he would have the averages
declared a tie and have the league pre-
sent suitable prizs to both Lajoie and
Cobb.

FRESHMAN SQUAD

Coaches Schaeffer and Cert have made
the last cut in the blue and gold fresh
man squad and from the 21 men
now remaining the final Is will be Sc
lected today. The coaches announced
the names and at the same time
extended word of thanks and
appreciation to those men who had
worked so hard and had not
made the final squad. The men an
nounced as being the finals were Fish
er, Adler. King, Allen, Ulery, McNeill.
O'Hara, Dills, Rivers, Him, MacClise,
Hale, Smith, Lee, Shaw, Fleming Nc
Mahon. Drake. Abrams, Emerson and
Bailey.
It would be foolishness on the part
of the California coaches to play Nc
Neill in any position on the freshman
team, considering his injured condition
McNeilfs ability is of the highest, but
no man can do himself full justice when
even slightly injured and it would be
spelling the teams chances to play him.
Graduate Manager Farmer of Cali
fornia. has practically completed his
schedule, which is considerably disar-
ranged through the cancellation Of the
Vancouver teams tour last week. On
October 20 Farmer will stage double
header in which the st. Mary's team
will play the second varsity team and
the University of Southern California
will meet the varsity. On November 5
the best games of the season will be
witnessed. when the varsity squads will
play the Olympic and Nevada teams as
the double attraction.
The st. Mary's team and the Univer-
sity of Pacific have arranged game to
be played at San Jose on Saturday
morning. after which both teams will
go up to Palo Alto to witness the Cali
