PITCHING AND HITTING HAVE FIELDING BEAT

In selecting q ball club, the manager must first of all pay attention to the pitchers. and secondly. to the htters.
 Pitchers. in other words. constitute about two-thlrds of the defense. Hit ters constitute two-thirds of the offense.
 Fielders are very handy at times, but not necessary if you have pitchers and hitters. Fielders save games, but never win them-save in a negative sense. tlit- ters and base runners do the winning. It is not the object of manager to prevent the other team from winning. IL Is his obpeet to win, himself.
 Although the two propositions are similar in many respects. there is diff ference. The team that endaavors to pre- ycnr an opposing team from winning is an aggregation with negaHive idea The team the first principal of which is to win, possesses and strives, for a positive idea.
 For the above reasons, we hope that Manager Molesworth will see that his pitching staff is strong andithat his play CTS can hit the ball.
 Of course, in a collection of 15 ball players, some of them will of necessity be light hitters. But it is absolutely neces- sary, if we are to win, that d certain number of them be able to sting the bail as hard as .275, at least.
 Last season, as Is remembered, we had McGivray, Johnston. Phelan and Elliott. each of whom could hit the ball. Phelan and Elliott have gone To take their

IRISH HOME RULE.

Conditions at last are favorable for
home rule in Ireland. There seems
to be little doubt that before long an
Irish Parliament at Dublin will legis-
late on local affairs.
This will bring to Il close long
struggle of a modern people for self
government. The British House of
Lords would like still to hold out
against the movement. but it could
at best do so only temporarily.
The home rule question has been
Influenced Very largely by economic
and Industrial considerations. 1t is
one step in the struggle of the Irish
TO force out English landlOrdism. In
many respects it is analogous to
parts of the struggle in this country
between the interests and the COM
mon people.

BEACTIFYING A CITY.

Cleveland, Ohio. proposes to put
into cultivation all vacant lots in the
city. First, of course. permission
must be obtained to use scattered va
cant property; then the lots will be
cleared of rubbish; next, cultivation
will be undertaken under intelligent
supervision.
Many benefits will result from this
cultivation. Cleaning up of vacant
property is an achievement for any
town 1t salways conductive to
health. The transformation of these
vacant places into beauty spots will
inspire wholesome emulation. The
enthusiasm of young and old will
combine to raise the whole plane of
popular thought with reference to
civic beauty.
The movement promotes industry.
1t is educational. 1t may be made to
give employment. recreation, enjoy
ment to both young and old. The
boys and girls who are interested be-
yOnd the preliminary stages of lot
cultivation should be assured of a
material reward for their work.
Clevelands action will tend to
level social barriers, to stimulate
civic spirit. to diffuse a spirit of de-
mocracy. Incidentally the plan
might reduce the cost of living in
many cases.
Civic improvement societies every
where can effect far reaching bene-
fits by taking up Cleveland's plan of
cultiyating vacant lots.

ery's love story embraces the influ-
ence on her life of her family: of her
lovable godfather. DR.. Melton; of
her husband. a potential captain of
industry: and of radical young
cabinet maker. Lydia grows from a
care-free girl to mature woman,
who knows life and wants to choose
for her children's happiness and her
own, unhampered by what the so
cial'' hierarchy of a middle western
town says and thinks Is social
and business system which virtually
separates husbands from their wives

FAKE INVESTMENTS.

1t has been suggested that there
should be more training for invest
ment, that the economics depart
mentS of the schools and colleges
should give courses to meet this
growing need. The suggestion comes
with the estimate that $4,000. 900
was obtained fraudulently by pro-
mOters of fake investment schemes
last year.
Undoubtedly, there would be much
good accomplished through such
training. The great difficulty lies in
the fact that it would reach mainly
those investors who least need it,
Fakers do not usually turn to educat-
ed people for support. 1t is the
widow, that falls within their grasp.
Training is always a good thing.
but in this case it does not fill the
need. These fake investment Oper-
atOrS are in a field which can be con-
trOlled by both the state and feder-
al governments. The use of the
mails gives one opportunity to curb
their actions, the need of license
another.
The suggestion of education is
good so far as it goes but in the
meantime there should be prOtec-
tiOn.

which this young tree is held by the
University.
Its knees of knOtted oak" are
now evident. but in a little while
young leaves will appear, their pc
culiar yellOwness giving way by the
last of May to a dark oak green.
The young catkins that follow close
on the coming of the first leaves later
develop into a seed in cup. the
acorn of our own American forests.
The anomaly of plant that pro-
duces seed before sending out leaf is
explained by some as an aid to ferti-
lization. The wind. which aids the
fertiliZing process by blowing the
pollen from blossom to blossom, is
not handicapped by the presence of
leaves say some scientists. Others
agree that the ripening of seed at
such an early season indicates
northern origin for the tree. as the

So great has been the demand for
fireproof structures in our cities, so
loud has become the cry for cheap

terial than wood, that a good share
of human ingenuity has been applied
to the production of a substitute.

Stone is also popular material and
is growing rapidly in use despite its

tition to the lumber trust. Concrete
in its various forms is fast coming
into popular favor and promises to
revOlutioniZe the building industry.
Indicative of the competition fur

fact that the National Lumber Man.
ufacturers' Association has appro-
priated $4,000 to spend in maga-
zine advertising. The idea OF the
lumber trust advertising is almost
too novel to be believed. The fact.
however. that the lumber business
has ACKNOWLEDGED a powerful cOmpe-

people who have feared that all is

COlumbia'S Splendid Trees

tween these two trees. 1t is known
as the Whitten Walk.
! Standing at Missouri avenue and
looking north and down this walk
between these two trees that act as
markers, one sees facing them the
old University Bell that mounts
, Switzler Hall. No view richer in
sentiment than this is to be found
around the University.
Another beautiful Lombardy pop
lar stands between the Engineering
Building and Switzler Hall. These
trees are now coming into leaf, but
concealed at the base of each leaf
is a little furry. cottOny bunch of
seed that later will be seen sailing
through the air.
In this same open space stands a
Linden tree whose leaves have also
begun to show themselves, especially
on the sprouts that are nearer the
ground than the main tree, and
which are left at the trees base that
students in horticulture may see its
habits. Its blossoms are of a green
ish yellow which flower in a rOsette
shape
Over by the Law Building on its
southern side is buckeye. or Eng
lish horse chestnut, that is a mass
of rich green leaf and bloom. This
is the tree given by Dean Lawson
after the burning of the University.
1t was placed just outside of the
Deans window. and he has watched
it grow from a small sapling into E
symmetrical tree of splendid size and
proportions.
The buckeye has a yellOwish-green
blossom in spike shape that is fol-
lowed by nut in burr which is
surrounded by five-fngered leaf.
1t is the English horse chestnut and
the Linden that are used for street
trees in Europe, the Linden taking
as strong a shape as the elm as it
grows old. The Linden's blossoms
produce the sweetest honey in the
world. bees going right over a clover
field in search of the pollen that lies
rich in it's blooms.
At the right of the steps leading
to the home of the President of the
University stands a tree that, while
insignificant as yet in appearance.
has a most interesting history. Sev-l
eral years ago DR.. b. +. Galloway.
chief of the Bureau of Plant Indus
try at Washington, ID. c.. was grant
ed an honorary degree by the Uni
versity of Missouri. AS a mark of
appreciation, Doctor Galloway sent
to the forests of Aberdeen for an
English oak which he presented to
the University.
Oaks of every variety are of very
slow growth but this gift tree, small
though it is as yet. bears evidence
of a sturdiness that may insure in it
size reached by the oaks made
famous in English history. Many of
them have reached enormous girth
and age. One hundred and fifty
years is not an unusual age. Such
length of life is understood when it
is known that the woods from the
English oak Outlast stone. The |
shrine made for Edward the Confess |
sOr in 500 A. ID. is still intact.
From such facts it is easy to un-
der stand something of the reverence !
in which the Englshman holds the
oak. Dating from the days of the !

WIFE is STILL HOPEFUL
Mr.. Jones Had Been to ENGLAND On
Business and Planned to Get
Home This Week.

Charles c.. Jones, superintendent of
the Colgate estate, and one of the
leading and most popular citizens of
Bennington probably lost his life
when the White Star line steamer I'll
tanic sank off Cape Race Sunday
night His name does not appear in
the list OF passengers saved by the
Carpathia and so far as is known no
others were rescued.
Mrs. Jones, who was planning to
go to New York today 10 meet her
husband on his return from Europe,
was at her home at Old Bennington.
surrounded by friends and still hop.
ing against hope that Mr.. Jones may
have survived and been picked up.
He was a strong, active man, I'M
INJURED to out door life and likely to
endure cold and exposure on raft
or wreckage better than most men.
One thing, however, renders the
prospects of his safety unlikely.
From the reports of the wreck it is
apparent that the boats and RATS
MOuiu carry iSSS lldu hail lhS PoO7
sengers and there were enough wo-
men and children to take all the
available places save less than a
hundred. Mr.. Jones was brave man
and all who know him agree that he
was one who would insist on others
being saved first.
Mr.. Jones has been resident OF
Bennington for four years and it is a
strange fact that his predecessor, as
manager of the Colgate property, w.
G. Appleby met tragic death. Mr..
Jones left here the last week in Feb
ruary for a business trip to England,
where he went to buy Horned Dorset
sheep for the Colgate farms. 1t was
his plan to spend a few days sight
seeing after his business was COM
pleted and to arrive home the last
of this week.
He is A years of age and native
of Maine Mr.. and Mrs. Jones have
no children.
Mrs. Jones left on the noon train
for New York accompanied by w. H.
Berry, who will see her safely into
the hands of her friends there. Mrs
Jones received a telephone from Mr.
Colgate advising her to come to New
York, but holding out very little
hope.
