leagues. That was all he wanted.
TN Cincinnati were gathered to-
gether all the National league
manates to celebrate the dedi-
cation OF August Herrmsnn's new
baseball plant. Johnson got into con-
ference with his two associates Of the
national commission. Tom Lynch and
Augustus Hermann. They fully sp-
preciated the delcacy OF his posi-
ton He told them he meant to fight
the revolution 10 the death. They
realized that II organized baseball
gave an inch OF ground 1t was the
end of peace and order established
through years of patience and llar-
mony. Johnson was assured OF the
hearty cooperation OF the national
commission,
Then he Jumped right into the
Quaker city. He was ready to an
nounce himself. He In turn issued
an ultimatum. He told the rebel
Tigers that they would have to play
or be ''blacklisted7 For life. He told
them he would attend to Cobb's case
after his own fashion, And in half
hours, talk he convinced Frank
Navin. president Of the Detroit club,
that he must stick with the rest OF
the American league promoters, as he
always had stuck. Navin got aboard
the band wagon of organization. He
stood TO lose a quarter OF million
dollars worth OF players by defying
the mutineors. But stiil he told them
he would stick by the ship and take
what substitutes his colleagues could
spare. Threatened With the ''black-
list" and deserted by major league
rivals upon whose sympathtes the
striking Tigers bad counted, there
was nothing left but to make the
best OF a bad bargain
When Naviu promised to pay the
fines. his werriors fell over one an
other in their eagerness to embrace
an opportunity that would let them
back into the fold with some show
OF remaining grace.
1t may be quito true that Ban John
son did not turn the coup single
handed But should he not be given
the lions share OF credit? In what
other league has a president SO much
power over the promoters? Club
owners Of the American league have

lished them 80 firmly In baseball 1t
may be true that Tom Lynch would

Would there not have ben a terrific
roar from C. W. Murphy, for instance,

Nayin. have been willing to pass up
quarter or million In exchange

SCRAPING BARK FROM TREES
In Case Of Ordinary Healthy Tree
Treatment is Advocated by Penn

Az to the advisability Of scraplng
rough or shaggy bark from apple
trees, the state zoologist Of Pennsyl-
vania has the following 20 say:
This depends upon the conditions
In general. advise such treatment,
especially for rough. scaly bark on
old trees: but II u be bark that has
been roughcned by the injurious ac-
tlon Of soil sprays, or by burning
with fire or some other injury, ] am
satisfied Il would be wrong, because
this is the tender bark beneath Just
what a scab OF an animal is to a sore
which II is protecting.
Therefore, IL the bark beneath be
tender, so that II would be injured
by being scraped. II is best not to do
n. In the case OF an ordinary healthy
tree Il IL certainly best. but at injured
places, such as above mentioned, 1t is
advisable to scrape gently. II at all.
On an old tree one cannot apply
enough pressure with a shorthandled
hoe or bark scraper to do any injury.
and this will remove many insect
pests. such as coddllng moth. woolly
aphis and certain alternating crea-
lures. and expose scale insects and
other pests TO the action Of the wealth
er. and OF the insecticides to be ap
piled before the leaves appear.
