REPORTS IN SPRING
Doc Ayers Is Indisposed From
Heat and May Be Given Rest
for a Few Days.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

The Washington ball club has exer-
cised its option on Howard Ehmke, the
sensational pitcher of the Los Angeles
team
In making this announcement today,
It was explained that Ehmke will report
10 Griffith at the training camp In the
spring. Ehmke, who is but nineteen
years of age. has been touted by scouts
as the best pitcher on the Pacific coast,
and as he has continued to take on
weight while he has worked in Cali
ornla. he is expected to be a veritable
giant by the time he comes East next
March.
Doc Ayers is the latest of the Ma
tionals to become indisposed.
While it is not believed that the big
Idtcher has any serious trouble, he is
ufering from the grip, and If he does
lot feel better this evening will prob
bly, be given an opportunity to rest
Ayers is only the latest to feel the
'fects of the heat. Most of the athletes

STATION FEELS|T IS
TREATED UNFAIRLY
By KIRK c. MILLER.

Manager Joe Hurney of the Union
Station baseball team. winners of the
pennant in the r. r. Y. NJ. c. A.
League, has officially protested the
manner in which the championship of
section B was decided early last week,
and in a complaint TO the amateur base
Eall commission he vigorously criticises
the methods which were permitted in
establishing a leader in that class to
play in the intersectional series which
is now under way.
Hurney bases his complaint on the
grounds that the winner of the section
b title should have been decided as the
result of actually played ball games, and
not by forfeitures, and he intimates that
Ninth was practically presented with
the sectional honors by Brightwood,
which on two occasions failed TO have
a full nine on the diamond when Ninth
was to be played.
Just how the Union Station folk feel
as result Of being beaten to the sec
ton title by a club which did not
have to play its way to the top, is pest
said in Hurneys own remarks, which
are addressed to President Robert
Young. His letter follows:
Dear sir: {.
Referring to my protest over the
telephone last Wednesday against
the tactics employed by the Ninth
SlTtcl team, III Scllihb
these two forfeited games from the
Brightwood team must say that L
am greatly disappointed in the
commissions at least not consent
ing to my presenting what evidence
l mad to prove that the Ninth Street
team had used methods against
base ball principle to get the Bright
wood team to lay down to them.
As told to you over the telephone
visited the Union League Park.
the irst time the Brighwood team
forfeited, having only eight men on
the field, and upon leaving the park
! passed a group Of fellows. and
one of the number said: The Ninth
team will only have to beat the
Station team, as Brightwood VIII
give them another, If they need IL.
On Monday last, the 18th instant:
we played off our first postponed
game VITA Brightwood on the n.
w. 5. :. grounds, and after the
first inning. my coach doing duty
at first base, came to me and said
there was fellow in the crowd
around first base. whom he recoS-
niZed as being connected with the
\. W. ;. S. League. and this fellow
was saying: well. the BriShtwood
today: but tomorrow when the Ninth
team comes out here there Will be
the usual eight" My coach then
butted in and remarked to the fell
low that the BriRhtWood team
would lose the SIS deposited by them.
and to this the fellow replied that
the Ninth team would pay the Sl5.
1t seems to me. that the commits
sion was very anxious to have the
championship in section settled.
SO tina; the series for the District
championship he started without de-
lay and | don't think 1t has acted
in the right manner toward the Sta
ton team. We won three and lost
one up to the time We were told
to play Ninth to break the tie. they
hav.Lg gotten two games as gifts.
and we had to play for everything
we got. and you will find from
canvass Of tn" amateur fans around
the city, that they nearly all claim
that the Station team won the
championship in section 3.

INAUGURATION
OF The new
CURRENCY SYSTEM

November 2, 1914. On Novem
Der 10th, the new Currency sys
tenn will be PUT into effect
all over the country The u Re-
gional Government controlled
banks VIII begin business as
banks for bankers. This system
cont aims The best aud most valua-
bic features TO be found in the
banking systems of the entire
world. and 1t will be the begin
ming Of the greatest era of pros.
perily ever known, and 1t Will be
al era that no panlcs will be able
to punctuIe The great benefit to
be derived from these new banks
is easily explained. For instance,
suppose a bank loans 100000 to
the business men of It's commune
ty, and more business men wanted
another $4,000 which the bank
could not spare. Under the old
or present system the last set of
men would go without the loan,
and so business and industry
would suffer accordingly, III that
town or county. Under the new
system, the local bank would de.
post the securities it received as
collateral for the first loan, with
the Government Regional bank
and borrow The no, 600 therefrom
at about four per cent and then
lend it ont at about 5 per cent.
SO under this system no legiti-
mate industry can ever suffer for
want of money, and financial pan
les will be impossible.
ItELP FOR THE COTTON GROWERS
1t was previously decided to
open the new banks on November
30, but owing to the urgent neces.
sity (Which the whole country rec
ognizes) of helping the cotton
planters, the banks will open OH
November 16 and about one hun
dred and fifty million dollars
$3.50, 600, 000) will ne immediate
ly loaned to the cotton growers,
which will at once relieve this dis.
tressiDg condition. Last week
arrangements were made for ship.
ping cotton to Germany and Aus.
trla which have received none
since the war began, and these
two countries will take $4,000
bales every month, and in view of
the fact that no planter IL to put
in but half crop next year, cot.
ton will soon be at a normal price
again. Corn will pay just as we'll
as high priced cotton if it il fed
to hogs and made into good hams
and bacon at 20 and % cents per
pound Nothing pays better.
The South can raise five times as
much pork and beef as it is doing,
and it should turn it's attention to
this matter with greater earnest
ness.

WOOD LOT
IMPROVEMENT, FUEL,
AND FERTILIZER
Go Hand in Hand.

Every farmer needs fuel; every
farmer needs fertilizer; and every
farm wood lot needs Improvement
Whv not kill all three birds with
one stonef BY judiciously planned
trimmings be condition OF the
wood lot can he greatly improved;
the material removed in the thin
niEgs can be burned an firewOod;
and the wood ashes left are 40
rich in potash as to make a yalua
BILE fertilizer.
The wood lot Is, perhaps, the
only farm crop to which the
farmer has not considered 1t ne.
cessary to devote any care. HIS
grains are sowed on carefully pre-
pared soil; his vegetables are cul-
tiyated, and his fruit trees are
pruned and sprayed; his forest
trees alone are left TO look out for
themselves This Is the more re-
markahle when 1t il taken into
consideration that any labor ex-
pended on the wood lot not only
improves the final crop, but ordi
uarily pays for itself as well. No
detailed technical knowledge is
required for the work, all that is
necessary is the exercise OF com
mon sense.
1t il obvious that the trees IN
any woo6 lot are not all of equal
value Some are taller, straighter,
thriftier, aud Of species which
yield more valuable wood than
others. 1t is also obvious that
there IL a constant struggle going
on betw the trees for light and
growing space. The object of
thinning ia simply to give the best
trees the advantage in this strug.
gle by removing the poorer ones
which interfere with their devel.
opment.
First of all defective trees
should be removed. This includes
trees attacked by insects or fungi
(conks), trees with free SCARED
butts, with tops broken off by
wind or lightning, and in general
all trees which are unthrifty from
any cause. Next come the trees
Of poor torn, such a. very crook
ed or very braDchy ones, which
are interfering with the growth OF
better formed neighbors. And
finally are the trees Of less valua-
BILE species, such as dogwood, iron
wood, aud hornbeam. These not
only take up space that might
better be occupied by such species
as oak, hickory, aud ash, but
also, as a rule, produce seed more
abundantly and so reproduce
themselves at the expense Of more
desirable trees.
While the wood removed in
these Trimmings is frequently of
no value for other purposes, II
can practically always be used TO
advantage for fuel. In this way
the work can be made to pay for
itself, particularly when the fu.
ture use of the wood ashes for fer.
tiliz,r is born in mind. The es-
sentisl point to remember in max
lug such trimmings ia that the
wood lot il tree society, 10 which
the best trees should be giv,n ey-
cry chance to attain the creates,
posslil, development 10y the re-
moval and utlIiz ,tion Of the unfit.
