The function of vines and climbing
plants in landscape art is to screen
and soften mechanical features. to hide
unsightly objects. to blend together
into a harmonious whole, various dis
cordant elements.
Varieties are matter Of taste, and
II you will leave to your wife the ques-
ton of proper location for vines, you
will not go far wrong, from an ar
tistic standpoint. The truth is that
good vines are almost always in har-
mony, no matter where they are
placed. Use them freely where you
have a bare place.
Many an untidy fence can be made
into bower of delight by properly
placed vines. The honeysuckles, wood
bine from the deep woods, Kudzu vine,
wild grape, clematis paniculata, and
many others, can be secured at tri-
fling expense, grow quickly. and are
hardy.
In the more southern states, Smiths
hybrid moon-vine is particularly de-
lightful
The jewel Of porch climbers is the
Jackmanii type of clematis. White,
lavander and pink, the blossoms come
in reckless profusion, and II you
are careful to get strong pot-grown
plants, plant them in a rich, deep
earth, without disturbing the roots,
and do your transplanting about June
/, you will almost certainly succeed.
Be sure to plant in sunny spot,
where water from the caves will not
compact the earth. Water well until
the plant gets good start,

RISK LIVES TO SAVE MEN

by Gas.

Buffalo, N. Y.-Three priests risked
their lives to rescue workmen who had
been overcome by gas in conduit on
Alabama street here.
Armstrong, foreman; with two Of
his men, went into a manhole opposite
the Church OF Our Lady Of Perpetual
Help In search of a leak in one Of the
mains. The break proved to be bad
one, and all three we're overcome. A
passerby, hearing faint cries from the
men, called for help.
The priests, who were just leaving
the church, responded. Father Hunt
and Father Clancy dropped into the
manhole and hoisted two OF the work
men to the surface.
Armstrong had penetrated the con
duit a long distance, and was lying
face downward unconscious. Before
the priests could get him back to the
manhole both were partly overcome by
the gas fumes.
Father Lynch saw their predicar
ment, and, jumping into the manhole'

One of the queer things in that city
is the batting of George Mullin, the
veteran pitcher. Mullin is a jolly,
quick-witted joker and years ago he
began talking back to the bleachers.
He was warned that the bleacherites
would put him out of the business,
but persisted. Every afternoon he
would walk down in front of the
bleachers and engage in verbal
skirmish with the crowd, trying to
hold his own at rough repartee with
hundreds. He abused the crowd
laughed at them, accused them of
quitting" and enjoyed it. If he had
taken it seriously the result might
have been different, but after a time
it became part of the game and now
the spectators in the bleachers would
not be satisfied II Mullin forgot to
start a. skirmish. Last summer, go
ing out on a car in Detroit, three
young fellows were talking.
ooh, I've got a peach of a get-back
at him today" said one. and. at the
urgent request of the others he drew
out a card and read what he was go
ing to say to Mullin if he came near
their seats.
1t is not the great crowds that at

strongest influence over players. True
there is a natural nervousness among
all the players when a tremendous
throng gathers to see them, as in

ters. and some of them feel as IL they
are doing as much to help the team
to victory as if they were out there on
the mound pitching. The large crowds
usually are the fairest and most
sportsmanlike, for in these great gath
erings the rabid and partisan fan is
lost and his utterances are smothered.
These crowds police themselves and
the players feel safe and assured of
fair play. and. after the first nervous
ness passes. they play their best.
A baseball crowd is much like a
mob. Without leader it is Just noise
and turmoil, but with one recognized
leader 1t can do much. A few years
ago number of Chicago men at

crowd needed leaders and the result
was one Of the most dangerous ex-
periments ever attempted The White
Sox rooters organized, band of men
far above average intelligence. who
laid daily plans for melting crowds
and stirring up enthusiasm. The
Board of Trade Rooters operated at
both Chicago parks, being organized
primarily to attack McGraw and the
Giants. They wrote and circulated
songs. invented ingenious methods OF
harassing a worthy foe, and to force
undeserved victory upon the home
teams. The idea spread rapidly.

home teams. For a few weeks IT

character who was named because of
his cry, which followed just after a
big outburst of applause on the part
of the crowd The moment the ap-
plause subsided his We'll, well, well, I"

players a long time to discover the
fact that their popularity and their
safety from abuse lies in presenting a
good-natured appearance, no matter
what happens, and in answering ques-
tions when possible.
If you go through league after

that the most popular player. in nine
cases out of ten, is some outfielder.

There was the solution. No matter

wants fair play, and, after a time. he

In Cincinnati, Brooklyn and Washing
ton, during most of the season, the
crowds are bitterly sarcastic toward
the home teams, although the Brook
lyn crowds are decent except on Sat
urdays. ST. Louis affords a queer
study of the crowds. When the
Browns are at home the crowds are
ugly and vent their temper upon the
players. yet half a dozen blocks away,
on the rival park, there assemblies a
crowd wilder and more frantically in
favor of the home team and more un-
reasoning in partisanship than almost
any in the country. Just where this
feeling arises is hard to discover. The
crowd is violent in temper when the
team is winning, worse when it is los
ing. Perhaps long years of bitter de-
feat have caused it.
In Boston and Philadelphia, on both
major league parks, the home players
and visitors are almost upon equal
terms, and the spectators applaud
good plays irrespective of the players.
They see baseball under the best con-
ditions, with both teams encouraged
and giving their best efforts to the
work. Pittsburgh is bad because of
the gambling that has become almost
part of the game in the Smoky City.
