Insects Attack Beans

I Two insects which are particu-
laFly destructive to beans are the
bean jassid and the leaf roller.
The jassid attacks the leaves and
particularly the stems. 1t is a
light green insect about one
eighth of an inch long. 1t sucks
the juice from the beans and thus
causes them to yellow and die.
Since it is sucker it must be
sprayed with contact Insecticides.
j. r. Watson, entomologist to the
University of Florida Experiment
Station, offers the following: Add
to so gallons of water 7 or s
pounds Of fish oil, or laundry soap.
10 this add two-ffths of a pint of
"black leaf 40" Spray the beans
thoroughly. The insects are apt
to scoot behind the stems upon
ones approach and the cause of
the trouble may not be apparent
to those who are not closely OBJ
servant.
The leaf roller makes home by
rolling the edge of leaf. He sal
lies forth from this place and
feeds on the leaves of the beans.
Spray with mixture of lead arse
nate, II ounces of powder or one
and one-half pounds of paste, to
SO gallons of water. If both in
sects are present the arsenic can
be added to the contact spray and
one spraying will do for both. In
that case use s ounces Of the pow
der and l pound Of the paste.

GAMER NOT LEMON
ASRACING GELDING
H. P. Whitney Purchased Ami
NAL for $12,5OO Last Year.
At First Was Off Form.

Jimmy Rowe evidently did not make
any mistake OF judgment when he rec
commended to Harry Payne Whitney the
purchase OF Galner at public auction for
d2,50O last year. OF course, Gamer didn't
pan out right after that, and 1t took
a lot of patience on Rowe's part and
on that Of Jimmy Owens to make
Gamer perform to expectations. At one
time since he was destined to be a
steeplechaser.
As a 3-year-old, after the Whitney pur-
chase. the gelding performed like the
veriest lemon. 1t began to look as II the
terms of the sale didn't Include the pre-
scrlption.
Not until this season did Gamer begin
to show the form that justified the price
paid for him. Within a short space OF a
couple Of weeks this year he has won the
Bronxville Handicap and the Empire
City Handicap In the latter event. he
won in gallop. beating off the redoubt-
able Roamer, surprising a lot of folk
who thought him a 10 to shot.
Gainer won like a real good horse
like the horse he was as q two-year-old,
when Roamer Punch Bowl and all the
reg Of the good Juveniles didn't dare to
give him weight Gamer was a good racer
then, and evidently he has come back
TO that form. From now on II will take
a better horse than Roamer to beat him
over the handicap distance at anything
like the weight assignments Of the EN-
plre City Handicap.

.HORSEMEN JUBLANT
AT RACING SUCCESS
Credit for Re-establishment of
Sport in New York At
tributed to Allen Pinkerton.

NEW YORK, July 29.-Horsemen and
turf followers in general are jubllant over
tho success that has crowned the effort
70 re-establish racing in the metropolitan
district this year. With half the season
over there is no question of the return
of the sport to much of its former popu-
hFity.
Not the least credit for the success of
the re-establishment of the game belongs
70 young man whose name Is rarely
mentioned in the press in connection with
racing. On his capable shoulders has
iallen the weight of the most difficult task
connected with the turf, the policing Of
the tracks and the keeping OF the wager
ing within the law. That he has done his
work well the healthy condition OF the
game clearly indicates.
II was no easy task that Allen PinSer-
ton undertook. He faced ditficultles that
many a man would have found insur-
mountable and overcame them. with fine
Mqgment and courage,
In his hands, at least in one important
fespect, the future OF racing rested. Had

Philadelphia courses, in comparison
with out-of-town links. have paid splen-
did attention to the matter of drinking
water Especially at Aronimink and at
Whitemarsh, there are fine springs-icy
and full of tonic. Huntingdon Valley ia
piped and at the Cricket Club there are
refreshing-looklng water barrels The
other courses have similar heat and
thirst apparatus.
There ls a dark and persistent rumor
ahoat that the reason p. g. Tlllinghast
resigned from the North Hills Country
Club in favor of his present retreat at
Frankford was on account of the quarry
hole at the former course, 1t is said
that every time he played the hole he
got in trouble no matter what he did.
In spare moments "the old man" used
to stroll out on the links and study that
hole. He was often seen standing on
the brink of the quarry in napoteonic
attitude gazing pensively into its depth,
figuring, figuring. He drove in stake
at the place where his drive should come
in order that he might get his second
across. And he measured that carry
many times. But his analytlcs were in
vain! On his last day he is said to have
made ringing speech on the brow of the
gulley. The rocks, the birds. and his
oaddy was the only audience.
Golf terms. like Jail terms, are very
hard to understand. Here are added a
few more explanations to the collection
already unloaded through this column;
The under portion of the clubhead is the
sole; the part that comes in contact
with the ball is the face" The end of
the head is the toe" or "nose,' and
the part nearest the shaft is the heel"
The part where the head joins the shaft
is the neck" The narrow part where
the head is glued TO the shaft is the
scare" and the twine binding the head
and shaft is the whipping" The angle
OF the head with shaft is the lie" of'the
club. and the position OF the ball on the
ground is the ''lie" of the ball.
The "stance" is the way one stands
when in position to hit the ball,
Addressing" the ball is giving 1t a
mean look before a shot and swinging the
club over it in a threatening way. There
should be no verbal demonstration.

Cobb's Opinion

Cub Fan" IF Sam Crawford" says
Ty, was batting in National League
parks-such short parks as those at Bo5-
ton, Philadelphia and Chicago-he would
smash all home run records and set new
mark for extra bases never dreamed Of.
There isn't short park in the American
League while the National, know, has
at least four This is where Cravath and
Safer have big advantage over Sam or
any other American League slugger when
1t comes to extra bases. II Crawford
played n home games at Philadelphia or

HARVARD MAY DROP
CORNELL'S OARSMEN
Substitution of Princeton Con-
sidered Likely by Crimson
Authorities.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. July 2s.-Harvard
is planning TO drop Cornell in crew and
substitute Princeton. This is the report
from semlofticial circles. and the matter
is TO be taken up ofieially at one Of the
fall meetings OF the Harvard Athletic
Committee.
Harvard has found the trip TO Ithaca
too tiresome a Journey, and last spring s
victory over Courtneys crew ahords
them an opportunity TO withdraw honor
ably and gracefully.
Another new move In Harvard crew
affairs will be depriving the captain Of his
present great power IN rowing and put
ting the sport under graduate commit
tee. Wray's coaching will also be more
closely watched by this committee.
