TREES AS CIVIC ORNAMENTS
Hsre Is Case Where Municipal Con-
troll Would Seem TO BE
Necessity.

Uniformity may be obtained only
through municipal control. for when
planting is done by property owners
individual choice will naturally have a
wide range and fall upon great va
riety of subjects, resulting in the least
desirable effect possible except bare
streets. Where the building lots are
Of varying widths many of the trees
will be too close together, while none
are apt to be too far apart, as we very
generally oyerplant. Here is another
bad feature easily remedied by NUM-
cipal control through arbitrarily CIV
ing the proper space to each tree. On
narrow streets home owners will per-
|sist in planting trees suited only to
the wider thoroughfares until tall
furniture can can scarcely pass
through the green tunnel
Where sidewalks are marrow and
buildings close up to them, the trees
will have to be planted close to the
street curb. no matter how wide the
parkway. else the tops will have no
room to spread and all the trunks will
lean toward the street. Here u small
tree Is necessary. not only to avoid
the last-ncted effect, but also to pre-
vent overshadowing the front win
dows OF adjacent buildings. In such
districts as the one under discussion
owners are also overload of filling in
the parkway with cement, leaving
too little breathing space for trees
With parkings already too narrow the
whole space Is insufficient to allow Of
best growth of trees and therefore
! parkings should not be unnecessarily
reduced. Some eastern cities require
not less than six square feet about the
base Of each street tree.
When trees are to be bought one

between young, thrifty stock and de

unfortunately. more common with oul
nurserymen than vigorous, healthy
subjects What use Is 1t to plant
trees whose roots have for years been
playing merry-go-round in q gallon

\ though somewhat modified. to the end
Such trees should be dug around nftel

top roots cut close to trunk, allow
ing deeper and better root system t.
develop. Do not forget that all condi
tions may be improved and much bet
ter results obtained by digging large
deep holes for all trees.

POCKET BILLIARD
HONORS DECIDED
A. B. Hyman Wins National
Amateur Championship by
Defeating E. J. Reynolds.

NEW YORK, March 2L-National anna
teur pocket billiard championship honors
last night went to Arthur 3. Hyman
when he defeated Edward J. Reynolds in
the play-off OF the tie for the title at the
Amateur Billiard Club. The tally was 12J
to So with high run of % for Mr.. Hy-
man, who ran out in the fifteenth frame
The new champion has long been recog-
nized as one Of the leading local experts,
and in addition holds the Amateur Bill
lard Club title.
Mr.. Reynolds, the kid of the big field
that started in the elimination series
three weeks ago, played remarkable pock-
ct billiards in spots, bat showed that he
lacked experience and control at critical
stages. For nine frames the game was
a real contest, but thereafter il was a
runaway for Mr.. Lyman.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 2l.-Base
runners do not steal bases on the catch
er. That's the contention of Paul krI-
chell, a catcher. He's backed up in
this statement by Barney Petty, d pitcher.
Whenever a base runner steals, with
few exceptions, it is the fault Of the
runner such a large lead that no catcher.
no matter how good the peg, has a
chance of mailing his man.
For example, take the Giants. They
stole more bases than any club in either
league last season. but look what hap
pened to them in the worlds series
Most people picked the National Leaguers
to beat the Americans on this one thing
alone. With such pitchers as Bender,
Plank and Coombs, who keep the runners
glued to the bases, they have little
chance. The Giants. it will be remem-
bered. stole just four bases in the world S
series
There was one game last season in ST.
Louis where these same Giants stole
fourteen bases on Bliss and Wingo Peo-
pie blamed the catcher for not cutting
down the runners. but it was not his
fault-it was the man in the middle who
was at fault.
Then there was a game in New York
last season in which the Browns partici-
pated. When the game was over New
York had something like eighteen runs
ana like number of stolen bases to
its credit. This all came about because
the pitcher gave the runner too much
of lead.
This is the contention of catcher as
well as pitcher. and they ought to
know. No man can run down to Sec
Ond as fast as catcher can throw to
the middle cushion is the way Petty
puts it, land no matter how good a peg

WILL PLAY CHINESE
BALL TEAM MAY IS
Nine From Hawaiian Islands
to Be Met by George

Arrangements have been completed by
Manager Haggerty of the Georgetown
University base ball team for game
with Hawaii College of Honolulu, Ha-
wall. for May -, to be played on the
hilltop. This game has been pending for
the past week, but until this morning the
local manager did not close with the
Chinese team. This contest will occupy
practically the same place on the West
End schedule this season that the Univer-
sity of keiO held last year, and should
without doubt be one of the most attrac-
tive features on the Blue and Gray
schedule.
In arranging this game Manager Hag-
gerty has not only secured a team that
will attract much attention on account
Of its nationality, but also from the
closeness of the game that should result
from the meeting of Georgetown and. its
foreign rivals. Last Season Hawaii Col
lege defeated the University of Keio
twice by good margins. and practically
holds sway over all the teams of the
yellow race.

ONLY STRAIGHT AND NARROW

Reform - Several Players Given
"Straight Talk"-Lid Will

Cards and late hours must be abol-
ished by members of the team. There
will be no more gambling after the sea
son starts" said Hughie today. That
goes. he added. and he meant it.
The athletes will have to deliver IL they
expect to remain on the Detroit club. The
reins will be frightened and the members
of the team must walk the narrow path oil
draw fine, suspension or ticket to some
minor league city.
Several members of the team have al
ready been told that their habits must
change this season. In one instance Il
will cost certain player $1,000 II he doe
not keep better hours tl.an he kept las
year. Similar rules have been laid dowr
in two or three other instances.
! Leniency has brought few benefits. II
has resulted in disaster. The lid will bt

MONROE. La, March 2l.-The lid Will
be down this season on the Tigers.
Hughe Jennings was never so desper-
ate to win a pennant as he is this spring.
During the fat years Hughie was always
smiling and happy at this time. He be-
lieved that crossing bridges before you
reached them was bad business. This sea
son he is daily starting across the bridge
that is far away.
Jennings is not Of the same optimistic
disposition that he was. in since he be-
came identified with the Detroit club.
The serious mood claims him the greater
part of the time. He is watching more
eagerly every bit Of play on the practice
field and he is not as liberal with train
ing rules as he formerly was.

Special Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHARLOTTESVIL Va, March
21.-It is not unlikely that Eddie
Gagnier will follow Mig Clarke
to the Indianapolis club. Griffith
admits that Manager Burke of
that club Is negotiating for the
fast shOrtstOp, but adds that no
decision has yet been reached.
GaEnier has made splendid
showing I'm the practice games
here. He Is undoubtedly one Of
the best fielders the game has
ever produced, and while he has
the reputation of being weak
with the stick he has dore
most e fectiv batting in the
few games he has played here.
Because of his good showing it
was believed that Griffith would
retain him as one of the utility
infielders, but 1t IL now believed
that he will be turned over to
Indianapolis before the season
opens.
1t is cold and damp here this
morning. but this did not pre-
vent Griffith from taking the
entire squad to lambeth Field
for batting practice, after which
all hands had to run around the
quarter-mile track three times.
The same dose will he repeated
this afternoon, though If the
sun should peep out a game may
be played.
