SAN FRANC4fo Maurice Nc
Loughlin, Amefsca's greatest tennis
player, disagyees with Anthony Wild
ing Of Australia, champion of the
world, on the subject Of the one-serye
game.
Wilding, according TO press dis
patches, is in favor of modifying the
tennis serving rule so that only one
stroke is permitted in place of the
present double chance. The Austral-
ian believes the change would speed
up the play. Mclaughlin thinks diff
ferently.
ITO curtail a server to one chance,
would reduce by half his speed and
placement work. he said. sThe only
way in which the game could be said
to be quickened by the innovation
would be that it would take less time
for a set But | take it WiIding does
not aim at this result, but an improve
ment in the quality Of the tennis it
self. There has never been any COM
plant of the length of time occupied
by a game. At present server, as a
rule, takes more risk with his first
shot than with the second. No good
player hits wildly with view to scor-
I ing by speed alone, as is suggested
I by Wilding's statement. A man like
Norman Brookes of Australia, who
has admittedly one of the most sue
cessful services in the world today,
throws his opponent on the defensive
by clever placing. None of the great
players make a regular practice of
trying to score aces from the serve,
and none of them endeavor to eontin-
ually win by serving with unplayable
speed. 1t has been proved that the
errors are then too numerous to make
| it pay. If Brookes were to try and
score points by serving tremendously
hard, he would present his opponent
with as many points as he would gain.
and expend the large amount of energy
used in a first service for nothing.
"a powerful young athlete, who
plays occasionally in California tour
.naments, can serve ball by putting
teYery ounce of his weight into the
stroke, that is absolutely unplayable,
but The can only get it in the court
once in ten, and this loses him more
games than he wins There is no man
living who can be certain enough of
an unplayable service to make it
worth while depending upon it alone.
Control is the quality to be aimed at.
When playing well j can place the ball
with sufficient precision to put an OPP

ponent on his defense. 1t necessi-
tates hitting the ball in difficult an
giles, and requires great accuracy. II
the service we're curtailed to one
stroke 1t would render such serves too
risky to attempt. A player would
have to come down a peg or two in
pace and placement, and devote him
self to safety play.
CartaiL the Game
This would surely be curtailing the
game in one of its most important de-
partments. In my view Wilding's idea
lis wrong in principle. Games only
need curtailing when the players
have caught up with the rules. This
actually happened in billiards. A large
number of players perfected the nur-
sery kiss carom until they could score
lat will. The balk line was then In
troduced with good effect, opening out
a wide sphere of possibilities of new
shots. But tennis has not reached
that stage. No player has brought
any stroke to such state of unerriug
accuracy that he can score when be
pleases.
"The service is, after all, only one
department of the game. II. would be
equally reasonable to curtail any 9TH
err stroke When the great player,
Parke, is in form he can pass an OPP
ponent with his drive from any posi-
ton in the court All the better for
him, good luck to him. The only
course for the other players to take is
to try and evolve an effective reply.
This contributes to the development
of the game and makes it great and
interesting sport l have spent a
good deal of time and energy develop
ing d service. People may therefore
claim am biased on this point of two
serves, but / do not think that / am
opposed to anything that would be for
the betternlent of tennis. No One is
more ready to consider new ideas, but

cheney and skill in any department.
: TENS is clean game, governed
in all parts of the world with com
mon sense, and / am sure what is de-
cided upon will be for the best"
Control Secret Of Success.
Mclaughlin explained how we had
developed his game. He said that
every stroke was a compromise OF
the elements of speed, placement and
accuracy. A player had to hit as hard
as he could and as inconvenientIy for
an opponent as possible without in
dulging in too many errors. When
young players asked him what to ain

WESTERN METHODS OF FRUIT
GROWING.

Fruit has been spoken of as gift
Of the SOIL" but the phrase must not
be taken too literally as applying to
the produce of the modern orchard.
1t must be understood that fruit cul-
ture as practiced by the modern
horticulturist is very different pur-
suit indeed from the haphazard meth
cd of the farmer of a generation ago;
whereas fruit trees left to themselves
will produce certain amount of
fruit, it is quite impossible to make
horticulture a profitable industry
without giving 1t attention fully COM
parable to that which is given to 9th
er agricultural pursuits.
At least four methods Of operation
have been developed and perfected
in recent years that are quite neces-
sary to success These are e. propa-
cation through grating, (2) pruning,
81 thinning the fruit, ~ spraying
the trees to kill the insect pest.
AS preliminary to all Of these it
is necessary to have your soil in
proper condition, and this part has
also received much scientific atten-
ton. For the pomologist the prob
lem is somewhat of different one in
some respects from that Of the agri-
culturist, because Of the fact that
the tree is a perennial, requiring
some years OF growth before it reaches
the fruit bearing stage and when 1t
does continues to bear for term of
years. At first thought it might seem
that If proper fertilizers we're used to

acre. Indeed he could not before;
but the case is going to be still plain
er from this on.
For late crop, barley is better
than peas. But for spring crop
there is no grain crop to compare
with peas.
On the river bottom land 80 bushels
OF peas are not uncommon; and on
upland the record runs up to 10
bushels. Mr.. Newkirk tells me that
on a measured field he had 104 bush
els-the record crop so far as l know.
On new land the crop runs from 20
to 35 bushels, increasing materially
from year to year when about $500
worth of potash and lime are added.
Peas are not injured by frost; often
living right through the winter, just
as oats or rye does, and blossoming
in the spring. Now II we can select
the heavy yielding vines in the field
this summer, use only the largest
peas from these best yielding vines
for seed, and do the same for few
years I believe we will be getting
three tons or more per acre, while at
the same time building up our soils.
I look on the pea-clover rotation
as the coming thing for at least the
heavier Puget Sound soils. w. Fl.

enrich the soil in the orchard that
would be sufficient. and that the or
chard might be kept indefinitely from
deterioration. But in point of fact
there is another element Of vast i'm
portance which we must not overlook:
In preparing the soil the pillow and
harrow is used to render it porous.
But such mechanical turning of the
soil is only partially effective in an
old orchard. 1t fails to affect the
lower strata OF earth, into which a
large proportion of the roots pene-
trate. Clean cultivation is beneficial
for the young orchard and for the old

ones. So-called covered crops, such
as clover or other legumInous plants,
may be grown in the late fail, and
turned under in the spring for hu-
mus. The clover roots reach to
depth of two or even three feet and
do much in keeping the soil porous.
Mulching the trees at the roots with
barn yard manure in the fall and
turning it in under in the spring Is
very good thing. Artificial fertilizers
have their use, but the indiscrimate
application of commercial fertilizers
without regard to the real needs OF
the soil is haphazard procedure that
is not to be recommended.

The plot must be two rods square,

carefully separated from the remain

The two square rods, for planting,

only fair way to set field condition,

much more than a central rod.

WHY | SELECT PEAS.
Anywhere, and especially on oul
light upland soils, farmers cannot
afford to sell hay or grain from theil
farms, but must feed, save the ma
nure and so build up their soils.
In very many places corn is wholly
out of the question by reason OF late
spring and early fall frosts.
Oats yield 20 per cent less than peas
in weight, and oats are also worth
about so per cent less per ton; max
ing crop of peas for feed alone,
worth nearly twice as much per acre
as are oats. Then too, oats rob the
soil of nitrogen, while peas enrich II

Enemy Whom He Is Pledged TO
Give no Quarter.

Preside, Texas, January 8.
-(By Associated Press Cable)--
Skirmishing between the outposts
Of the opposing Federal and rebel
forces began here yesterday after
noon, preliminary, il is believed,
to what promises to be one of the
most stubbornly contested battles
yet fought in Northern Mexico.
Ojinaga is the prize sought by the
rebels, but behind il lies a Mexi-
can feud between contending gem
erals which both have claimed can
be wiped out only by the death Of
one or the other Of them.
General Salazar is commanding
the Federal forces while General
Francisco (Pancho) Villa is at the
head of the rebel forces, now lin
ing his troops before the city in
preparation Tor Dattle.
Salazar evidenced his determine
ton Of not waiting for attack yes
terday, but called for volunteers,
and at the head Of force of one
thousand Federals, pledged to fol-
low him to the death, he left Oil
naga to meet Villa.
With the desultory shooting be-
tween the outposts becoming more
frequent it is believed that the
long expected decisive battle will
soon begin.
Some of the Federal forces are
apparently demoralized, as was in
dictated yesterday with the deser-
ton of General Mancilla of the
Federals. He made his way across
the Rio Grande, but was captured
by the border patrol Of American
troops on the Texas side of the
line. General Mancilla, if the gov
ernment policy is carried out. will
be held until the end of hostilities

Congressman Campbell, Of Kansas,
Favors Temporary Suspension
of Monroe Doctrine and General
Movement Of Powers to Bring.
Peace to Revolution Ridden
Southern Republic.

PITTSBURG, Kansas, January
Soy Associated Press Cable
--Congressman Campbell Of this
district, in an address before a
large crowd here last night, de-
voted his remarks mainly to the
situation in Mexico and strongly
suggested that the manner IN
which peace can be restored in
that troubled country is by an
bereement BY the United States to
9he temporary suspension of the
Monroe Doctrine and movement
by all the Powers in concert on
Mexico, occupation to continue
until peace is effectively restored
in that country. ~
He pointed out that the land
forces of the United States need
considerable strengthening to be
more effective, adding that upon
his return to Washington he will
recommend to the congressional
committee that provision be made
for an Immediate appropriatiorof
three million dollars TO be expend-
ed in eqlripping the regular army
with field guns and a similar
amount TO equip the militia with
similar weapons.
He said that the troops of both
the regular army and the militia
are not now prepared to take the
field in long campaign. There
are neither enough guns or enough
ammunition at the command Of the
present forces even, he said, to
give the commanding general any
assurance of success in the event
that campaign was undertaken,
He suggested that the regular
mobile forces of the, country be
divided into FIVE divisions, three
OF infantry and two of cavalry,
with an aggregate war strength Of
seventy-fiye thousand officers and
men. The equipping of these
forces with field guns, would, he
said, require fifty-four batteries,
