CHAPMAN OF MAPS
 BREAKS HIS ANKLE
Star Cleveland Player, Out for
 Season, Bursts Into Tears.

l.
 Cleveland, Ohio, March 12-Ray Chapman, the shortstop of the Cleve- land American League team. broke his right ankle yesterday afternoon dur ing the teams practice at Athens. Ga. The accident occurred just as the team was about to be called off the field. Chapman's injury will probably keep him out of the game the entire sea son, and may end his career as a ball player.
 Chapman cried as he was being car ried off the field, for he had been the most enthusiastic of the players in the practice and was anxious to improve his base running, which did much last year to keep the Maps high in the race Manager Birmingham, who was injur- ed in nearly the same way last year. said he feared they would not be able to use Chapman at shortstop at all this year.

Mailer had been imported from Ireland by Billy Madden, who was grooming him for a battle for the heavyweight champ pionsFlip with John l.. Sullivan As preparation for the big bout, Madden matched his man with FItz, then nidd1eweight cham pion. and the Olympic club of New Orleans hung up $10,00O for the bat tie. The Irishrnan had an advantage of fourteen pounds in weight, and he soon proved that he was good rough and-tun1ible batt1er. In the early rounds. he landed several stiff ones that made Fitz groggy. but Bob's science and generalship won the day, and in the 12th round Peter was so far gone that Madden tossed in the sponge. After the bout F'ftz kissed Peter and the curtain went down with the antagonists praising each other and drinking whiskey from the same bottle.

BROOKLYN CLAIMS
 WONDERFUL PITCHER

'duist, the pitcher who was dug up by Manager Robinson in the South Mich igan League, but who has been play ing the outfeld, was the only star who broke forth Tuesday for the Brooklyn baseball squad Of the Ma tional League in the practice game of nine innings with the regulars He was on the regular team for three innings and had the Yannigans help less. z
 Robinson declared he had put more stuff on the ball than any Of his other men, and Robbie was going to hesi- tatet a long while before he sent him back to the minors. His slow ball was the big hit and surprise because it was unexpected. Later it may turn out that the ball is not such a gay de- ceiver, but at present it is. surely the goods.

CHECK RAISED
BY NEGRO man
ALLEGED THAT JOHN DAWSON
CHANGED AMOUNT OF CHECK
WHICH WAS GIVEN HIM FOR
LABOR ABOUT PREMISES.

Charged in a warrant with being a
dangerous and suspicious character,
but more specifically charged with
raising a check and passing the
same. John Dawson. a negro yard man.
was taken into custody yesterday and
locked up at the city Jail. He will
be given a hearing this morning in
the recorders court
This negro is said to have increased
the amount of check which had been
given him for work done about the
premises of a citizen on North Hill.
The check as given the negro, it is
claimed. was for but $3.50, but. when
it turned up in a downtown clothing
store, the same check was said to
have been raised to $3.50, just six dol
lars more than the amount the orig
inal check called for. When the fraud
was discovered, the negro who is
blamed for the offense was hunted up
and placed under arrest.

MONTEREY PINE
A VALUED WOOD
TREE GROWS NATURALLY IN
VERY RESTRICTED AREAS OF
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, PRIN-
cIPALLY ABOUT MONTEREY
BAY.

Foresters in the United States are
much surprised by the statement in
the January issue of the Journal of
Agriculture of New Zealand, just re-
ceived in this country, that Monterey
pine -'isi by far the most valuable and
profitable timber tree that can be
planted in New Zealand.
This pine grows naturally in a few
very restricted areas in southern CAL
ifornia, principally in the neighbor-
hood of Monterey Bay. with one or
two isolated areas to the south and
esters have known that it's growth is
comparatively rapid, the tree has been
regarded as practically valueless for
timber, though it has been planted
to serve as a windbreak for orange
groves.
The reports of its behavior in New
Zealand, however, seem to make a
further investigation of its value in
this country well worth while. In
view of the extraordinary rapid
growth which the tree has made in
their country, New Zealanders have
markable pine, and from the figures
reported by the New Zealand de-
partment of agriculture, industry, and
commerce, this name seems to be..well
merited. The claims for Monterey
pine are based on the phenomenal
growth which it has made in planta-
lions and the many uses to which the
wood seems adapted.
In one plantation, for example, in
which the trees varied from IS to 20
years old, one tree gave a yield of
l, 400 board feet of Sawn timber and
the average yield of the plantation
was approximately 100, 900 board feet
for each acre. White pine, the tree
best adapted to forest management in
the northeastern United States, will
scarcely yield more than 10000 board
feet per acre at this age. LobloIy pine,
the most rapid growing pine Of the
southeast, makes not more thar 49,
900 board feet per acre in equal length
of time. Another 27-year-old planta-
ton OF Monterey pine in New Zealand
yielded $4,000 board feet of sawn
timber and so cords of fire wood per
acre yet both of these plantations
were on pure sand not suitable for
farming purposes.
One Trees Growth.
An individual tree, only As years
old was estimated to contain more
than 5000 board feet. Average white
pine trees of the same age in this
country, when grown in the forest, sell
dom contain much more than 1875
board feet, so that the figures given in
the New Zealand report seem almost
incredible. 1t is known, however, that
certain trees. outside of their native
habitat, make remarkable growth par
ticularly in their earlier years, as has
been strikingly shown in Some of the
Australian eucalyptus in California
and in Brazil.
On the basis of the tremendous
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1914-04-28

yields of Monterey pine reported for
New" Zealand, the author of the ar
ticle in the Journal of Agriculture be-
lieves that Monterey pine can be
grown profitably in that country on
land worth upwards of $50 an acre,
even when there is a comparatively
high cost of planting.
Uses Of the Wood.
In New Zealand the wood is said to
be used for practically all building
purposes except flooring. It makes
excellent lumber for boxes, fruit pack
ing cases, and for other similar pur-
poses. 1t is not durable in contact
with the ground or when exposed to
the weather implanted.
The behavior Of this pine in New
Zealand has been so remarkable that
the forest service considers that a
further investigation of it's value in
this country would be we'll worth
while
