Moisture is conserved and plant-food
is made available in this way. The
conservation of moisture results from
the killing of the weeds that sap the
ground of water, and from a looser
condition of the soil that more readily
absCrbs rain. The cultivation of the
soil after packing rains forms an
earth mulch which prevents the loss
of moisture by evaporation. In the
drier parts of the state perhaps the
greatest benefit resulting from an
early preparation of the soil is the
conservation of moisture. Where
moisture is more plentiful the great
est benefit results from the liberation
Of plant-food, and especially of the
plant-fOod nitrogen. Plants use nitro
gen in the form of nitrates. Nitrates
are formed as the result Of bacterial
action. The bacteria that form nj
trates work only in well-aired sells.
Thus the better the soil is aired the
more nitrates are formed. 1t is evil
dent, therefore, that the greatest de-
Yelopment of nitrates takes place in
soils pIowed the earliest and given
the most frequent cultivation through
out the summer. Thus the firmest
seed-bed, the most plant-fOod, the
greatest accumulation of moisture
and usually the largest yield results
from the earliest preparation Of soil

block at the end of this season.
They were on the market last fall
and were all but sold.
The Georgia Railway and Power
Company undoubtedly feels it a
trifle beneath the dignity of a $751;,
100000 organization to be fooling
with any side line which has as
uncertain an earning power as a
baseball club even the Atlanta
baseball club. If you owned a gold
mine you wouldn't personally fool
with the pop privilege. Well, it's
the same with the Georgia Railway
and Power Company. Mike on
such stuff for them.
Whether Frank stands any
chance of getting the franchise de-
ponds strictly on his backing. If
he has the money and is willing to
spend it. he'll get the franchise
And If he does he will give Atlanta
a great ball team, for there was
never a man in the South who had
the trick down any finer. He
would undoubtedly retire as an
active manager and handle the club
as president.
If Frank doesn't buy the club it
is entirely within the possibilities
that somebody else will. The local
franchise is known to be the best
in the Southern league. OF course,
$4,000, the price asked for the fran
chise last year, is mighty stiff, even
for a good franchise. Absolutely
nothing goes with the document
except the players and the bless
ing of the Georgia Railway and
Power Company. And in these days
of basebalrs uncertainty in the
Southern league $4,000 for any
franchise-and players proposition
is lot of money.
IF the Georgia Railway and Pow
er Company does quit as owner
of the Atlanta franchise and the
Cracker team. it will mark the
termination of an alliance between

Public service corporations are usu-

one adds to its possibilities of un-

posedly as soulless as a key of
nails, has proved itself a dead game
sport. 1t has spent money like a
Pittsburg millionaire in getting
ball players. 1t has given Atlanta
a ball park that, when it was built,
was the wonder of the minor
leagues and better than many ma
jor parks, and that now ranks with
the best. 1t gave the fans a good
street car service to the park. 1t
put the running of the club in the
hands of men who were competent
and enthusiastic fans as well. 1t
has taken its gains without COM
ment and its losses (and they have
had some stunners) the same way
The big advantage of having the
Atlanta franchise owned by a big
corporation is that Atlanta has
been relieved Of all the unsavory
advertising that comes when a ball
club Is always on the point of quit
ting. There has never once been a
yell from the owners of the Atlanta
franchise.
OF course, this is the unpopular
attitude for one to take. The fans
aren't happy unless somebody is
knocking the ball club and the as
ISOLATION that owns il. And In our
day we've done our share. We
cherish the notion, however, that if
the local club changes hands, times
will come in the future when local
fans will look back at the good old
days"
In the meantime, the Atlanta
Baseball association has plenty of
money to spend for ball players
and is spending it, with results that
threaten to be satisfactory.

Navin has found to his satisfaction
that his young hurlers deliver bet
ter than his high priced veterans.
Hence, he really intends to get nd
of Mullin and Summers.
Mullin has been with the Tigers
since 1902. When in forms he has
been the equal of any pitcher in the
league, but in only one season of
the eleven has he kept in condi-
ton. That was in 1909 In 1907,
when Detroit won their first pen
nant, he won less than half his
games, though he worked In great
many more than any other pitcher.
This spring he rounded into form
early but went out again just as
quickly His last few games nave
been poor exhibitions, II was his
turn to work today
Summers went to Detroit in 1905
and had a good season, and in Sep
TENDER of that year he pitched and
won a double header against the
Athletics, allowing them but one
run in nineteen innings Evidently
he worked himself all out, for he
has pitched few good games since.
This year he has pitched but one
full game and two innings of an
other.

BY Percy H. Whiting.

"Not,o n nave e to- to go go a out of of
your own ball club" says
a diamond proverb. For instance.
witness the yarn from Nashville
that Hemphill is going to quit the
fake from New Orleans that the
Cracker team is torn by internal
riots and the tip from Nashville
that Charley Frank is out to buy
the local baseball franchise.
The talk about Hemphill was too
silly for notice. Charley Hemphin
is no gutter. He'll see this
Cracker team through this season
if it drops through to China
which it isn't going to do Hemp
hills middle name is stick" The
baseball association, while not en-
tirely satisfied with the results. so
far as the standing of the club in
the race is concerned, is confident
that Hemphill has the right stuff
in him and that in time he will be-
gin crawling right up the ladder
again.
THAT internal dissension" story
is always sprung on every
down in -its-luck team. And usu-
ally there Is just enough truth to
it to justify the rumor. A team
that is losing steadily is a collec-
ton of grouches The men get sore
at one another. on themselves and
on the fans. Their digestions go
all to bazes. Their livers get out
of whack Their dispositions are
wrecked. And, of course, there is
dissension. and plenty of it.
Another thing that lends color to
the report that the Atlanta camp
is torn to bits is the fact that Man
ager Hemphill is a disciplinarian
of the stiffest sort. Baseball has
ever been a serious matter with
Hemphill. He isn't playing for the
fun of the thing. He isn't playing
for the mere money. It's his life
work And he intends to make
good or know why not
What's the result?
Why, Hemphill is tolerably hard
on his men. If. as was charged, he
fined Piggy Paige for kidding" on
the bench. 1t is pretty we'll in line
with the trend Baseball is no
kid" with Hemp. He's in deadly
earnest and he means that every
man on his club shall be Natural
ly that means more or less kicking
among the men and a lot of talk
by those who are let out and who
want to register a knock before
they depart-and afterward
But there isn't any more dissen-
sion on the Atlanta team than
there would be on any team, kick
ing around in the second division
under a manager who has staked
everything on making showing
with his club and VINO is naturally
a rigid disciphnarian.

after the local franchise, is CON
siderably' easier to believe The

Hemphin is president as well
as manager of the Crackers
next season. The local club is on
the market, or will be at the end

Frank Farrell. owner of the New
York American league team, is very
likely to separate himself from the
amount needed to purchase the
Crackers. II he does Hemphill will
be the high muck a. muck in this
village.
All this talk that Hemp is to be
ousted as manager is cheap, loose
lingo. He win not be ousted. but.
very likely, advanced from plain
manager to the presidential chair
as well.
Frank Farrell has no farm He
wants one. The writer knows that
he has looked with longing eyes on
Atlanta as the proper spot to de
velop his youngsters He gave up
fifteen hundred cold iron men to
let Hemphill come here this sea-
son. Fifteen hundred being the
waiver price in the big leagues. The
White Sox claimed Hemp. Farrell
gave up $1,000 to Comisl1y to get
him away so he could come here.
All OF which looks as though
Farrell has been figuring on land
ing the local club and franchise for
some time. Hemphill stands o. X
with Farrell. So good that in case
the Yankee club had failed to land
Harry Wolverton as manager Hemp
would have led the New York club
this season.
1T sure would be a great thing for
Atlanta to have a big league
owner secure the local franchise
A minor league team backed by
big Lacquer is sure to be a win
ming one. inasmuch as they can al
ways get players on short notice
when they are needed.
