fifth, and had it won again in the
eighth and threw it away on bone

that in the ninth had it almost tied,
when Haley got caught at the plate
Iy a ball thrown from center. He
tried to score from second but gave
out half way between third and home
and Crews tagged him within about
a foot of the plate. All was nor up
yet. Shelton hit and Shuey ought to
have scored from second, but some
one got in front of him and after
having long lead went back to
third.
Along about the eighth and ninth
innings things got interesting, and
the Officials were holding their
breath. In the eighth and ninth In

WRITES .oN CHERRY euMMosIs.
Oregon Man Publishes Article in
Science" on investigations
at College.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, Oregon, Nov. "a Bacterial
Gummosis of Cherries" is the title Of
an article in Science" by Fred l..
Griffin, formerly graduate student
and assistant in plant pathology at
the Oregon Agricultural College.
Mr.. Griffin's article is. prelim-
mary report of some Of the results
of Investigations which he carried on
in the department of botany and plant
pathology at o. A. G.
Certain varieties of the cultivated
sweet cherries found in the Pacific
Northwest are very subject to dis
eased condition which is commonly
known as cherry gummosis,' says
Mr.. Griffin. "The disease is charac-
terized by more or less copious exu-
dation Of gum from the trunk,
branches, spurs and buds as we'll as
by pustulated appearance of the
bark near the diseased areas. Often
but little gum is exuded, but in such
cases an examination of the affected
trees generally discloses discolored
tissues which are infiltrated with
gum. Such areas are spongy to the
touch and are usually discernible by
the variation in color of the bark as
compared with that of the normal.
Cherry gummosis appears in both
a localized and generalized form. In
the former, the disease is apparently
confined to rather limited areas on
the trunk or branches, such areas be
ing most often associated with a
blighted spur or bud. In the general
izeds form, large areas Of the trunk OF
branch may become involved, and II
often results in complete girdling
This latter type of gummosis often
appears to originate in the crotch oi

Paper Drinking Cups.

In the schools Of Austria the chill
dren are taught to carry several sheets
Of writing paper in their pockets at
all times. Then, when child is
thirsty, he can roll one Of the sheets
into cone and make perfectly serv-
iceable cup which may be placed,
after being used. in the nearest waste
paper box. How to roll the cones
deftly is taught the children. The
tearing of a notch about half an inch
long near one end before rolling the
cone serves to make the improved
cup stronger.
