TRAINING FOR UMPIRES.
Few Suggestions Made For
Benefit of Arbitrators.


The suggestion that the UNI
pires go south like the ball play
ers and get in shape for the big
league season has brought forth
the following from one of the
fans who doesn't overlook any
thing:
IN this circuit next season an
arbitrator is going to need to
step the half mile in about fifty
five seconds and be able to con-
tInue the same pace the Mara
thon route if he has pulled Off
a particularly raw decision.
High hurdling should also be
a part Of the spring training.
The average fence height Of the
parks Is about eight feet. The
arbitrator should be able to clear
this, taking of on either foot,
and do the 100 yards to the fence
in about nine seconds fiat.
Shadow boxing would play
an important part In the train
ing If it was done right. When
ever an ump gets so he can
dodge his shadow and leave 1t
intact ten feet away from him
and come back and join it be-
fore 1t can overtake him he will
be In pretty fair condition to
hear the whiz of a pop bottle
and beat it out of the way be-
fore it dents his dome.
"He should also get his feet so
well picked in brine and forma-
lin that he can smile when one
of our peeylsh infield pets sinks
bis spikes through his shoes in
the midst Of any little airy per
sifage that may be banded
about the ball yard"

CHROME BOY TO BOX
AT NEWARK TONIGHT

Ed Coughlin, the clever little pugl-
list from Chrome. is going to Newark
tonight for a six-round battle with
Young Wildfang, of Newark. Both
men are in trim to mix matters in
any old style and a good "go"
should be the result. Coughlin has
been training hard on the roads
hereabouts for the past few weeks
and as a consequence he is in the
pink of condition.

In another week all of the big
league clubs will have an army OF
players at southern training camps
More than 100, representing the
Brooklyns, Pittsburgs and Boston
Red Sox, will be at Hot Springs
alone. More than 100000 will be
spent by the club owners in prepar-
ing their teams for the pennant
races. which is considered a neces-
sary investment. The Giants, for In
stance, will have nearly forty men
in Texas. They will spent nearly
fifty days away from home. The
board bill will amount to about $6,-
600. The travelling expenses will
reach the $4,000 mark, with $4,000
for incidentals. The California trip
Of the Chicago White Sox will cost at
least $4,000, and Owner Comiskey
has spent double that sum since last
season for new material. But the
magnates are not worrying, for they
expect a record-breaking business
this year.
Jimmy Austin, the Highlanders'
hustling third baseman, has signed a
contract and will start for Athens,
Ca, on Saturday. Austin, profiting
from a years experience in fast COM
pany, writes to President Farrell
that he will show big Improvement
and will make Otis Johnson, the bur-
ly California player, hustle to beat
him out. Austin is one of the fast
est men on the team. His fielding
last year was all that could be de-
sired, but he was trifie weak with
the stick. Johnson, on the other
hand, is a heavy hitter, but rather
ordinary as third baseman. 1t is
believed Stallings will find it diff
cult to decide between them.

nave a clean anu beautiful city is for
every one to take an equal interest in
trying to keep it SO. We must clean

Nashville has a great reputation as

not lose sight of the fact that the only

Problem Of Farm Help.

The scarcity and, in some localities.
the entire absence of efficient farm la
Dor, has greatly hindered the intro
duction and development, especially in
the South, of intensive methods of
cultivation, which are the only sure
means of bringing production I'D to
the high level attained in countries
where farming lands are scarce.
This has brought on a further dis
cussion of the treatment of farm la
borers and the inducement, or lack
OF inducement to life on the farm.
1t is generally acknowledged that the
average farmer in his treatment of
farm hands, does not make the life
very attractive, and that the only so.
luton Of the problem lies in radical
change in the method, especially in
SO far as it concerns their home and
family life. 1t is suggested that the
married laborer should be given the
preference, and he should be pro-
vided with cottage of his own, with
a piece of land, one to five acres,
which he may cultivate for his own
benefit, and of which he should be of
fered an opportunity to become the
owner The idea could be extended
so as to include the settlement, on
similar tracts, of enough laborers,
with their families, to supply all the
needs of the farm in busy seasons.
The necessary investment in each cot
tage, SO provided, would not be large,
and the possession of little "home
of his own by each laborer would go
far to substitute, at a lower cost, per-
manent employment for the nomadism
which is to-day such an unwholesome
feature of The industrial situation on

LIME NOT A. SUBSTITUTE FOR
FERTILIZER.

The idea yet exists among many
that lime is a fertilizer. If lime is
applied no commercial fertilizer need
be bought think scores of farmers
This is far from being the case. Lime
is needed in many soils, but not to
take the place of the phosphoric acid
and potash of commercial fertilizers.
It's function is to sweeten the soil, to
make sandy soil more compact aud
a clay soil more open, and to liberate
plant food that exists in the soil.
Lime will usually stimulate the soil
to greater production for a few years,
but if no stable manure, commercial
fertilizer nor green manure 10 used the
yields will fall off until they wi be
below what they were before lime was
Note the effect Of lime one season
in an experiment at the Pennsylvania
Experiment Station Manure 6 tons,
lime 2 tons, 1884 pounds of hay per
acre; manure 6 tons, 1905 pounds :.
lime tons, 1880 pounds; and no lime,
no manure, 1,040 pounds of hay per
acre. But the yields of all products
on the four different treatments for
25 years were respectively 1906
pounds per acre, 1888 pounds, 1852
ponds, and II 1868 pounds per acre.
The manure was applied every two
years and the lime every four years.
A rotation of crops with good tillage
made the yields on the no fertilizer,
no manure plats better than than they
would have been under average con-
ditions. 1t will be observed that the
yield for the entire period on the ma
nure plot was nearly as good as where
lime was added too. Manure had
practically the same effect as lime
This is a point of common observa-
ton; manure helps get clover, lime
helps get clover, and in many in
stances the combination gives the
largest returns.
Use lime and watch results from
year to year, but do not cease to use

THE NEW YEAR.

In a few hours we will be US ered
into a new year, and following an
old custom we resolve to turn over
new leaf" or in other words we
make pledge to ourselves that we
will strive to do more good deeds and
to live better lives in the future than
we have in the past. AS a servant of
the people, and in most humble man
ner we would like to offer few
suggestions as New Year resolutions
for the Negroes of Nashville and
Tennessee:
First, the new year begins on Sun
day Let every one get up, put on
his best clothes and attend church
services somewhere, and make lib
eral contribution as an offering to the
cause of Christianity.
Secondly, resolve to keep up the
church-going habit for twelve months
Thirdly, carry the children to some
Sunday-school every Sunday and re
Aain there with them. We guaran
tee that every one who will adopt the
suggestions thus far outlined will say
at the end of the year 1911 that they
have made material progress and have
increased their moral courage as we'll
Again, it would be a grand thing II
every husband and father would re
solve to work every day possible in
the new year and stay away from
picnics and excursions.
Let every man, woman and child
not resolve to, but start a bank &C
count. Every pastor of church
should resolve not to advocate steam
boat and railroad excursions. The
business men should resolve to have
some kind of an organization that
will meet monthly
Let us all resolve to do everything
that we resolve to do, and in the best
manner we know how.

Public sentiment has at last been
awakened to the conditions to be
found in the alleys of Washington.
One of the leading civic bodies in
the city has taken this matter under
consideration and a thorough investi-
cation is to be made of the alleys
and the facts gathered to be brought
to the attention of the proper con-
gressional committee with the ulti-
mate purpose of having all alleys
converted into minor streets.
This is a movement which especi-
ally touches the colored people of
Washington and one in which they
should be interested A large ma
jority Of those who live in the alleys
are cclored people, and more can be
done to help them by the colored beo-
pie than by anyone else. The alley
problem, as it is called, is not so
much problem of the alleys, as it
is problem of clean, sanitary liv-
ing. What our alley population
needs most of all is to be taught how
to live. The colored churches and
organizations can do more to help
these unfortunate class to learn how
to live than can any other agencies.
In the upward movement, therefore,
for the betterment of our alleys and
their population the colored people
here should allow themselves to be
left out.-Wd Washington American.
