The Art of Having
Flowers All Summer

Louise Shelton, in her second gardening
book, Continuous Bloom in America"
(Scribner's, New York;, has produced a
manual that is invaluable to every lover
Of flowers. The titles of the chapters in
dicate the range of topics discussed. Be-
ginning with the secret of continuous
bloom, there follow remarks about where
TO SOW and where to plant, when to plant
and when to COW, when the various an
nuals and perennials bloom, suggestions
as to the perennials and ANNALS which
will produce the most satisfactory results,
concluding with miscellaneous advice.
One of the most useful parts of the
volume, however, is group of planting
charts for beds of all shapes and sizes.
They are intended primarily for large
grounds, but there are several well
adapted to the city backyard. The house
holder who would lay out at the rear of
his city lot one-half of the circular bed
in ebert eight would have delightful
succession of flowers, from the first
blossoming of the pansies and tulips to
the final disappearance of the chrysan-
themums with zinnias, larkspur, canter-
bury bells, snapdragon, sweet william
and many others in between. Miss Shell
ton is a practical gardener and she writes
out of her own experience.

AMONG THE BOOKS
The Indiscreet Writer of
"The Indiscreet Letter"

There Is nobody on earth quite like
Eleanor HaIloweil Abbott. And that is a
source Of 10y and Of regret to all sorts
OF people.
There are certain persons. for instance,
who delight In such verbal junsles OF SEN
timental affectatlon as this specimen from
her newest story THE 1ndiscreet Let
ter" (rhe Century Company, New York;:
More than being absurdly blond and
absurdly messy, the Young Electrician
had one of those extraordinarily sweet,
extraordinarily vital, strangely mystic
rious, utterly uneXplalnable masculine
faces that fill your senses with an odd,
impersOnai disquietude. an itching un-
rest, like the hazy, teasing reminder Of
some previous existence in a prehistoric
cave; or, more tormenting still, with
the tingllnE, psychic prophecy of some
amazing emotional experience yet to
come
And just as surely there are persons hat
ing such debasement Of talent for words
and whimsies who take of their critical
chapeaus again and again to Miss Abbott
when,she phrases a wife's unending love

It's Just that sort of whimsical insight

would never give away the plot of this
little book, but they would most certainly
afflrm this answer to the mental and lin

acters: There's only one Molly Make

autobiography. Then nobody could quar-

"AL" SPALDING, FAMED
IN BASEBALL, DEAD
Pioneer in National Game Held
Record as Pitcher-Success- e
full Business Man

SAN DIEGO, Cal. Sept. TO- - Albert
Goodwill Spaldng, the most successful
pitcher baseball ever knew, is dead. He
was a pioneer of the days before base
ball was the national game, was one of
the founders of the National League, and
became a millionaire after his retirement
from active association with professional
ball by the manufacture of sporting
goods.
Mr.. Spalding died suddenly of apoplexy
at his home here Wednesday night at the
age of 65 years. He was the most widely
known man in the world of athletics.
Every schoolboy knows the name of A.
G. Spalding, for the brand of sporting
goods he manufactured became known
over the entire country. The firm of a.
q. Spalding & Bros, organized In 1876,
with a capital of $500. is the largest firm
OF the kind in the United States. II mas
a branch in this city and in most of the
large cities OF the country.
AS a member of the old Boston Red
Stockings, A. G. Spalding made the finest
record for the season in the history of
baseball. He pitched his team to victory
by winning more than 500 per cent. of his
games, participating that season in n
games. a feat that is virtually unknown
to the baseball fan of today.
Spalding retired as a player at the
height of his career. After that season,
when his name was on the tongue Of
every baseball fan in the country, he
never again played professional ball.
His wonderful record In 1875 was a fit
ting climax to five successful years in the
big league, then known as the National
Professional Association. For four years,
1872 1873, 1874 and 1875, he pitched the
Red Sox to a championship.
Now a pitcher who hurls as many as
80 games In season would consider that
he had been worked entirely too hard.
Spaldng went through that season of
1875 and pitched his n games without a
murmur. They were the days OF under
hand throwing, when the pitcher stood
but 45 feet distant from the batter. II
was too close to throw a curve ball, and
the pitcher had to rely solely to speed.
This Spalding had In great abundance.
In 1888 he made grand tour of the
world with two clubs which he organized
under the names of the Chicago and
All-American baseball teams, visiting II
different countries of the world. 1t Is
said that this trip did more to popularize
baseball both at home and abroad than
any other single event in the history
of the game.

that n desperate struggle IS now going
