GETTING READY FOR
THE PEACH CROP
LOCAL GROWERS ORDERING
CRATES AND SELLING CROP
GOOD YIELD NEAR ARDMoRE.

representative OF the fruit and
truck growers OF the state from Okla
hcma City was in the city today i'll
consultation with local fruit growers
getting information as to how many
crates for marketing the peach crop
will have to be delivered here this
season.
The present indications are that the
crop in this immediate vicinity Will
be exceedingly heavy although other
sections of the state and OF other
states report that the crop will be
very short.
There are several paying orchards
in this vicinity at present, perhaps
the largest and best is the one own
ed bv w. p. Poland east of the city.
This orchard is little over five years
old. and as Mr.. Poland stated has been
sadly neglected. but he has been Of
fered 81 per bushel for this year
Crop on the trees and he states that
he will have over three thousand bush
els 10 sell. How does this compare
with a cotton crop on the same mum
bel of acres? Or. Son has an orchard
that he will harvest over six hundred
bushels from and Felix King also has
a fine orchard besides other and small
er ones in this vicinity that will yie'd
a good revenue to the owners. Mr.
Poland is an enthusiastic fruit grower
row and firm believer in the peach
a, a money crop. He was rather hard
TO convince when the trees were SOLD
to him as June buds is inches high
few years ago that they would yer
amount to much, but his doubts are
wiped away now and he is ready at all
times to sit down and talk commercial
orchards with any one interested.

Our old friend Charley Hickman, now
with the Louisville club, has invented
newfangled chest protector. which
he proposes to put on the market next
season. The new device is something
on the order Of catchers' shin guards.
Hicks pads will be shields of leather
covered rattan bound crosswise, leaving
an interstice of about an inch or one
and one-half inches square. As this
wood is very resilient, 1t would easily
absorb the jar made by the striking Of
the ball upon 1t, thus saving the catch
er from the slightest shaking up. It
would also be cool in the hottest weather.
Shortstop on the Chicago White Sox

been holding down the job. and is still

BOXER MEETS KING.
Jack Johnson and Manuel Exchange
Greetings.

London. Aug. A.-"Glad to see you,
King" said Jack Johnson this afternoon
as he hid the delicate hand OF ex-Kins
Manuel Of Portugal in his huge gloved
championship fist.
The meeting between the exiled mon
arch and the negro champion took place
at Earls Court, where Johnson is to fight
Bombardier Wells. A great crowd surged
about the champion when he appeared.
Ex-King Manuel pushed through the
throng with an aid-de-camp and intro
duced himself. The crowd cheered when
the mighty and the fallen shook hands
and exchanged greetings. Manuel told
johnson he was glad to meet him, and
would be on hand to witness his fight
with Wells.

Nationals Play
Two Games To-day
Becker and Groom Are Named as Pitching Sc
lections-Rain HaHs Yesterdays Battle and
Players Take Things Easy in Detroit.

McAleer has said nothing regarding his
pitching selection. 1t Is believed pos
sible that Becker will pitch one of the
games, with Groom the most likely Sc
lection for the other. This would leave
johnson in reserve for the final game.
Walter is, however, fresh and ready to
start tomorrow. If need be. -
Kid Elberfeld has been employing
his time here in visits to a local bath
house, the waters of which he has in
former years found productive of great
benefit. He came on a day ahead Of
his club in the hope OF getting enough
benefit to allow him to take part in
the series. The Kid says he has been
playing under a severe handicap all
season, with the muscle on the inside
of his upper leg that is likely to give
way at any time he attempts a hur-
ried throw.
Enjoy Pool Tourney.
Tonight a number of the Nationals
attended the semi-finals of a pool tour
nament in which outfelder Drake and
Pitcher Works. of the Tigers. were the
contestants. The play last night was
a sort of semi-fnal in a series which
Bill Donovan has been engineering at
his local pool and billiard emporium.
Bill is also trying to arrange a team
match between the stars of the Ms
tionals and the Tigers. He asked Wal
ter Johnson. Clyde Milan, Gabby Street,
and Dolly Gray to take part in such
an event. and it may be staged to-mor-
row night. Works, Willett, Donovan,
and Drake will probably make up the
Detroit team.
Manager McAleer to-day announced
that he had given up all hope of taking
a team of all-stars to Japan. He does
not believe that the trip would prove
anything but a loser financially.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Detroit, Mich, Aug. A-Rain well
coined Manager McAleer . and the Ma
tionals when they struck town this
morning, and continued to fall through
out the day, rendering the game impos-
sible. though the Detroit management
held off until the last moment before
calling Off the proceedings scheduled for
the day.
As a result, the Washington club will
enjoy the unique honor of taking part
in the first double-header of the season
al Bennett Park. This unusual, If not
unique. condition is sure to see large
gathering of the bugs. A lot OF them
have been saving up for weeks Tor the
pleasure Of seeing two games at cut
rate price, and most of them had ABOUT
decided to give up hope.
The Tigers have encountered unusually
propItious. weather up to date during
their home stands, and have been able
to use the open dates in style, which
has been truly remarkable. At present
there is not-nor has there been Tor
more than a month-another postponed
game left unplayed on the home lot
1t is doubtful if there has ever been
an American League club able to claim
such d distinction.
Summers and LATTE Named.
Jennings is likely to intrust the pitch
ing tomorrow TO Summers and Lafitte,
with a chance of Willett. He will make
a manfuI effort to save up Wild Bill
Donovan for the series with the Ath-
letics, which will tell the tale regarding
the forlorn hope which SUPERFICIAL local
bugs still cherish of a close finish IN the
pennant race.
Fair weather is predicted by the local
forecaster.

It did not take Sherwood Magee very
long to make his presence felt in the
Phillies' lineup. Back in the game less
than a week. he has already made two
home runs, besides numerous doubles
and singles. Philadelphia scribes say
that had Magee not been suspended for
his fight with an umpire the Quaker
City team would now be in second place.
The st. Louis Post-Dispatch comes
across with the following: After all
these months We come back to the old.
old story of tine pennant trust; Chicago.
New York, and Pittsburg. The oldest in
habitant has all but forgotten when any
other National League club has had the
pleasure OF flying a pennant. 1t begins
to appear that we'll have to outlive Nc
Graw, Chance, and Clarke. II we want to
see some other team cut into the cham

The race for the batting honors in the
American League thus far is a beaut.

mark, and each one pulling down his
little bingles every day.

All this talk about a new manager for
the Cleveland Maps may be set aside
when the time comes for the official an
nouncement George Stovall seems to
think he will still be in charge and has
given out several interviews regarding
his plans for next year.
Freddie Parent, the former Chicago
White Sox. now with the Baltimore
Eastern League club says that the great
est difference between the Eastern
League and the majors is in the quality
OF the umpires. He says first-rate

league as much as any action that might

Six Rounds,

New York. Aug. A.-Sam Langford
simply played with Tony Ross tonight
for little over six rounds at the

that length of time, Lahgford cracked
his left against Ross jaw, and then
walked to his corner. Referee Haley
didn't need to count. Ross laid out as
fiat as dapjack, and when they toted
him to his corner was as helpless as a

is that he stayed one more round with
Langford than he did in their previous
battle.
