Carroll Institute branching out.

The Carroll Institute plans to de-
velop it's field and track material dur
ing the present season, and wants to
enter men in all meets held in Wash
ington and vicinity.
The impetus for this movement was
the success which Healy, Lynch.
and Gallagher met with the Fourth Of
July meet on the Monument lot.
1 am awfully glad to see the CAROLS
joining the movement for an improve
ment in the field and track conditions
in this city. Maurice Joyce Is, in my
judgment. one of the best physical
trainers in this sectien, and he should
be able to arouse considerable enthu-
ganizations.

McGraw Looking Ahead
For Next Years Players

NEW YORK. July 18-It Is pretty
| early to be even thinking about next
year, with the National League baIled
up in hair-lifting struggle, and the
present season only half over, but John
J. McGraw, chief Of the Giants, has
been making a few small moves here
and there which indicate that his mind
is not entirely centered upon today.
How McGraw gets his players is one
Of the mysteries of the game, in a way.
He has scouts, of course, but it Is his
theory that a scout is of no particular
value If every one knows he is a scout,
and SO the men who prospect for fu-
ture Giants move softly.
Mickey Finn, the old Little Rock man
ager, is generally understood to be a
Giant scout. and it is reported that
Jimmy Maloney, until recently manager
at Dallas, and a personal friend OF Nc
Graw's, may do some work in the Same
role. Maloney knows bali player at
all events He got McGraw Pitcher
Hank Gowdy, as well as Shontz and
Tesreau. who are no longer with the
team.
McGraw is evidently getting ready
every move he makes is destined ap-
parently for infield strength. The pur-

and he is a college man. Ktnsella
claims he is the best youngster he ever
developed.

TREES FOR WINDBREAKs.

G. j. d., of Marion county, asks:
What is the best tree for planting in
ohio for windbreaks?"
Ohio was at one time covered with
hard woods and there were very few
eyergreens found here, yet in later
ears it has been found that many of
ne coniferous evergreens will grow
well in this state, if they have the
water supply they need during the
summer. Where there is a sufficient
water supply, arbor vitae and (cedars
will do well and there is no question
about these trees being among the
best for windbreaks for all year
around use. AS rule the hardw oods
are of use only in the summer and
when the windbrealS is most needed in
winter, they furnish but little protec.
tion. Any hardwoods that can be
planted closely together will make
some kind of a windbreak for summer
use. c. II. GOETZ.
