AVERAGES OF
 BARON EATERS

The batting averages of the Barons through Tuesdays contest with Memphis
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-05-24

Manager Bill Schwartz shook up his batting order and chose the veteran More to work yesterday afternoon in the final game of the series, hoping to secure a change in luck. The move proved successful and while More was holding the locals to a meager num- Der of safeties his support separated Harben from enough hits to tally four runs, which permitted them to leave the park after the Barons had vainly tried to rally in the latter part of the ninth, on the fore part of to 1 count, giving them their first and only vic tory of the season over the locals.
 The game was another low hit af- fair, the Volunteers getting seven bin gles and the Barons three. But had the Barons taken advantage of their op- portunity in the sixth, when the bases were crowded and two were down. they could have realized another vic- tory on their trio of safe taps, two of which were doubles in succession.
 Young Harben from Texas opposed More on the hillock and he waded into trouble at the very start of the game. A base on balls, sacrifice and two hits netting two runs in the opening session.
 Manager Schwartz changed his bat ting order considerably, boosting Cal lahan from the third position to first and Paulette from seventh to fourth King, who has been leading off, was dropped a notch and Sloan, who has been clean-up man, was advanced to third From second place Williams was dropped to seventh, Paulettes former station.

Change in Luck

In the seventh after Hemmingway had singled to center with two down and was killed trying to steal second, luck changed, and the Barons had a chance to sew up the game, getting three men on bases' but they failed to take advantage.
 Marcan started off by grounding out to Lindsay. Knisely then drove the ball to the right field fence for two bases. Stew art followed with another two-bagger to
 right and Knisely scored with the first Baron run. Magee sent a fly to right field.
 More then played for Ellam by intention
 ally passing Covington. But he grew un-
 steady and also walked the Baron captain, filling the bases. Tragesser failed to de- liver a pinch hit, rolling to short ana forcing Marcan at second.
 This one run lead did not satisfy the Vols, so in the ninth they again got busy and scored two more, a wild throw to first by Harben proving of great advantage tc them.
 King led with single to right. Sloan sacrificed down the third base line and Harben felded it. He turned and threw

VOle Get Busy

Callahan opened the fracas by being passed King sacrificed him to second, bunting down the third base line Sloan singled into left and Callahan raced Tor the plate and beat the throw, Sloan going to second. Paulette failed in his clean up duties by striking out, but Gibson backed him up with a single over second base and Sloan scored from the keystone, the Vol receiver taking second on the throw home. While Harben was standing on the mound facing the plate Gibson stole third, the pitchers throw being too late. Mcdonald kept the ball in his glove and Harben returned to the mound. AS Gibson stepped off the base Mcdonald cas- fly tagged him out, closing the round.
 A double play in their part of the first killed all the chances for the Barons to score. Mcdonald opened by hitting sharp ly down the first base line, but Paulette made a neat catch and beat him to the base. Marcan hit the first ball pitched py More into center field for one base. Stew art clogged up batters by hitting to Lindsay at short, who unassisted forced Marcan at second and then hurled the ball to first ahead of the batter.
 Both pitchers settled down after this. and in the second, third and fourth innings the batters of each team were retired in order. Knisely was given base on balls in the fifth, but Magee, Covingtor and Elam failed to deliver.
 More started off for the Vols in the sixth by hitting between center and left taking second when Stewart let the bal get away from him. Callahan flied out td Stewart, King grounded to third and Sloar to short, leaving their moundsmen strand ed on the keystone.

not due so much to the popularity Of

that personalities have been elimi-

Miss McCabe replied that she. would

AFTER MANY YEARS
Loving Hearts Finally United,
Though Long Separated.
Seventy-Five-Year Troth Ended Ia
Marriaee-Romance That Was Be-
gun in the Early Days of
Childhood.

After an engagement to wed lasting
over SO years, R. S. Hall of Brecken-
ridge, Md, and Miss L. H. Carr of
Hartsville, Ind, were married Many
might suppose that this is record
breaker with respect to long engage
ments, but half a century Of waiting
for the person has been exceeded,
says the Detroit Free Press.
Daniel Shepherd of Little Rock,
Ark, became the steady beau of Wini-
fred Miller when both were seven
teen. He was too poor to support a
wife, and she had to care for a wild
owed mother who was an invalid
Shepherd removed to Nashville,
Tenn, when he was twenty-one, but
he and Winifred remained as much en-
gagged as if they were stir residents
of the same city and saw each other
every day. The years went by. Shep-
herd had bad luck with whatever he
undertook. He went to the front in
the Civil war. Before enlisting he
paid a visit to his sweetheart They
renewed their pledge, although both
were now thirty-dve.
The war over, Shepherd stopped at
Little Rock for a week and paid CON
stant court to Miss Miller. Her moth.
er was dead, but they decided that
they could not afford to get married
They kept in constant communication,
however, year after year.
In 1898, when they had reached the
age of 72, brother of Shepherd died
and left him $4,000. He went to Lit
tie Rock Immediately, and the same
day he and Winifred were made one
after an engagement of 55 years.
But perhaps the most unusual case
of all is the 75-year engagement OF
Charles P. Russell of ST. Paul, MINI.
and Harriet S. McCabe of Denver
Colo. When Russell was five years OF
age and Miss McCabe four, they lived
in adjoining houses in St. Paul. Their
parents jokingly engaged them. But
the youngsters as they grew up would
not consider it a joke. They sought
no other society and remained sweet
hearts.
The McCabes moved to Denver. The
girl grew to be beautiful young WON

marriage for her, and would not con

two years of age. Strong pressure
was brought to bear, and finally the

KEEP A DAILY TALLY SHEET
Written Record Often Proves Valuable
in Recalling Some Little Trans
action on the Farm.

On our farm place there was hung
in a convenient passageway a large
slate for the purpose of hastily jotting
down any notable happening occurring
during the day.
Each evening the accounts were per
manently tabuIated and kept for any
later day references which might oc-
cur, assisting in making a decided
point.
In this simple way great deal OF
the tax and responsibility CT endeavor-
ing to recollect this or that happening
on the farm was removed and the to-
morrow begun afresh-every day in
reality new beginning with the pre-
ceding days hard work forgotten,
cleaned off the slate and the minds OF
proprietor and helpers.
One has no idea how often such a
slate will prove the many instances
and transactions taking place in year
on farm of only ten acres, though at
the time they seem of trifiing account,
but later are worth recalling for some
purpose to some one who wishes data.
This kind of a written record re-
freshes and proves interesting to look
over at any time; it tells of a certain
amount of labor that has been passed
over, of blunders, successes, failures
that have been entirely forgotten.
1t also gives a history of the help
employed, which is of Importance in
recommending them to others.
In the various industries of stock
raising, poultry work, fruit growing,
dairying, hay and grain raising, in
erecting buildings, the whole story
may be given off the SLATE tally day
by day by those most interested on the

GIVE LAMBS THE BEST FEED
Care Should Be Exercised That Moth
ing Is Left After Hunger of Ami
NAL Is Satisfied.

In feeding the lambs great care
should be taken that no feed is left
after their hunger is satisfied. There
is another point in the feeding of
lambs which cannot be too strongly
emphasized, namely, that the food
should be of the best quality. Ensilage
that is the slightest degree moldy
should never be offered them.
OF all farm animals lambs are the
most fastidious about their feed, and
success in feeding depends largely
upon the manner in which their food
is given them.
All successful feeders are well
aware that strict regularity in the
hours of feeding is as essential in the
feeding of lambs as it is in the man
agement of any other kind of live
stock.

Senate Needs Mr.. Root.

Senator Roots strong desire and
resolve to leave public life at the
end of his term in the senate are well
known. But the Republican party and
the country may well protest against
this deserved furlough. Where else
shall they look for the mastery of
public business, the knowledge of
constitutional and international law,
the long experience, the unerring
Judgment, the authoritysof great in
tellect in its prime applied to affairs?
The Republican party needs Mr.. Root.
Congress and the country need indis-
pensably his knowledge, sagacity, pru-
dence, patriotism, and wisdom. 1t
must be admitted with regret that in
regard to foreign affairs the admins
tration is sadly to seek. The senate
is by no means rich, is, in fact, lam
entably scanty, in high talents and
statesmanlike capacities. It cannot
spare Elihu Root.-New York Sun.

INJURY FROM WEEWL
INSECT DOING MUCH DAMAGE e
IN WESTERN STATES.
Brush Drag Is Effective in Knocking
Larvae Feeding on Stubbie to
Ground Where Many Are
Mangied or Suffocated.
(By E. G. TITUs.)

The alfalfa leaf-weevil, which has
during the last few years been doing
considerable damage in parts of our
western states, is European insect
which by some means unknown has
been introduced into this country.
The species appears to be not un-,
common throughout Europe and parts
of Asia and Africa. 1t belongs to the
large order of hard-shelled insects
called beetles, and in group gener-
ally called snout-beetles. To this same
group belong many of our most seri-
GUS pests, such as the plum curculio,
cotton boil weevil and strawberry wee
vii. 1t occurs all over Europe, a por-
ton of northern Africa and eastern
Asia. 1t probably occurs throughout
all of the regions in which alfalfa is
cultivated in the eastern hemisphere,
but rarely causes damage sufficient to
be reported.
This weevil belongs to family of
insects which feed principally upon
leguminous plants and several species
in the genus have been introduced
| into the United States and Canada.
Two of these, the clover leaf-weevil,
and the lesser clever leaf-weevil, have
done considerable damage to the clov-
er crop in the eastern and central
states, and the former has been re-
ported as injuring clover in the ex-
treme northwest. They also feed on
alfalfa and other related plants.
Many methods of Kidding the fields
of these pests have been tried-burn-
ing, sweeping and dragging-with
varying results. Many patterns of the
brush drag are in use, but the one
which seems to be giving the best re-
suits is made by laying the butts of
rather short brush, five or six feet
long, in row on a plank twelve or
fourteen feet long, then another row
should be laid on the first, consisting
of longer brush, with the butts
trimmed little further back, so that
you will have in effect two brush har-
rows, one following the other. An
other plank should be laid on the
brush butts and bolted to the under
plank. In weighing this harrow, lay
an ordinary tooth harrow, teeth down,
directly on the brush drag. This

MUCH IN COMMON
Republicans and Progressives
Agree on Vital Issues.
Analysis of the Political Situation
Shows That There Is Little to
Prevent a "Get Together"
Movement.

Both the Republicans and the
Progressives are for the correction Of
abuses and the suppression OF evils
In interstate trade. They stand side
by side for justice and fair play. They
are on the same ground in their oppo-
sition to abuses of power by great
companies. But they also believe in
applying common sense to the solu-
ton of such problems. They would
regulate business without strangling
it and strive for justice without de-
stroying industries entirely legiti-
mate in themselves or hindering and
obstructing commerce and making the
country's progress harder and less ade-
quate to the needs of the American
people.
And both Progressives and Re-
publicans believe in a vigorous for
eign policy marked by clear-headed
understanding of American rights and
American opportunities. They are
alike in their condemnation of uncer-
tain, hesitating and timid handling of
grave questions involving international
Obligations and American interests.
They are of the same mind in respect
to lecture-platform diplomacy and the
undermining and weakening of the
diplomatic service Of the nation to
pay Mr.. Bryan's political debts or re-
ward his personal favorites.
On such vital issues there is no diff
ference between the Republicans and
the Progressives. They find much
to bring them together, nothing to
keep them apart when they consider
these great questions of the day. The
wider and higher their outlook the
less reason they perceive for delaying
union or permitting the outcome Of
the 'get-together" movement to re-
main in any degree doubtful, in any
state or district or in the country as
whole.

REMEDY FOR WooLLY Apnls
Finely Powdered Tobacco or Waste
Stems viii Prove Effective In
Eradication of insects.
CBy F. H. HILLMAN.l


Some effective remedies for the
woolly aphis are as follows:
For the apple root form, which
causes kpots or sweliings on the small
er roots-remove the earth, three or
four inches Of soil, about the crown
for distance of two to four feet from
the tree and sprinkle in four to six
pounds of finely powdered tobacco,
Waste tobacco stems, which can be
purchased very cheaply, can be used
in place of powdered tobacco
Natural enemies do far more than
is generally supposed toward reducing
the number of aphids, but in a dry
season, especially, nature must be as
sisted If these insects are to be kept
reduced to nondestructive numbers.
