Use Three Baseballs.
 But to No Avail

THE funniest baseball yarn? Well,
 how about this one, related by Out fielder Bill Speas of the Portland (Ore.) team?
 'Tt happened in 1so6." asserts Bill. t'I was playing with the Columbus, (O.) team against the Mansfield (O.) out fit Mansfield had two men on bases. The batter fonIed off the first ball along the right field foul line. The umpire quickly threw in another. and the batter shot another foul toward right de1dss.sApotqer balIs-wass put into play by the umpire, and the batter sent it dipping through the infeld and, out to me in left.
 'T caught the ball on bound and heaved it in. It went wild and hit the grand stand. In the meantime tho right fielder. had recovered both foul balls and had thrown them to the in- field. Our first basen1an grabbed. one and started chasing down the batter between first and second. Our short stop grabbed the other bali and raced after the runner, who was trying to go to third. Meanwhile our catcher, hav- ing recovered my throw of the real hit, raced toward the home plate in an ef- fort to overhaul the other base run ner, who was trying to score. while our pitcher who was covering the plate howIed at him to throw the p-il.'s

-ExCEPT for technical changes, tend 2-s-e- ing, to- better the game particularly frem the standpoint eof players and officials football will be played this faSl under the same code as last year. There are one or two parts which are made more stringent, others are given clearer and more definite meanings, several disputed rulings are decided, but as far the spectator is concern ed there will be little or no difference in the grfdiron games they watched in 1914 and tha contests that are to take place this fall
 Two definite alterations have been made in rules governing the forward pass. One relates to throwing the ball out of bounds and the other -the~pen- alty for member of the side touching the ball after it has first been toucflAd by another player of his team. Last year, particularly down near the goal line where the distance was not suf- ficfent to make a punt. it was GUS tomary for many teams to throw the ball out of bounds when it could not
 make it's distance, and the ball would point two or three yards ill front of the goal line instead of being brought. {. out from .touchback. which would s,yery often result from a punt. This year forward pass when thrown out of bounds is simply an incompleted pass ana VIII foI De sflLG6 on IOuTLA oORF1l in such cases as that mentioned, be- cause the ball would go to the oppos- ing team, provided it were fourth down. at the spot of the previous down Under the code of 1914 when a forward pass touched player of the side nak- ing the pass after it had already been touched by a member of that side the ball went to the opposing eleven at the spot of the foul. That has been quaIi6ed,s and now the ball, if touched by a second eligible player, will sim ply go as an uncompleted pass also. Of course if the ball at any time touches an ineligible player it will go to the opposing team.
 Undue Roughness Prevented.
 There was considerable difficulty ex- perienced by officials last year in pre- venting the interferers knocking down unsuspecting defensive players after the ball was dead. It was a common oc- currence last fall to see men have their feet cut from under them and spill ed long after the play was ended and the ball had been declared dead by the referee. A provision has also been ina serted to keep the defensive players from running into their opponents un- der just such conditions.
 The use of substitutes in the last quarter has been considerably abused. After the antagonism aroused against football In 19O9 haQ reached US zen1Ih a provision was placed in the code al lowing players to be resubstituted in the last quarter, that a coach or trainer could remove a man who ap- peared more fatisued than usual in order thAt he might not suffer injury on that account. The best use. though, to which this has been put was the sending in of substitutes with infor-
 nation from the coach to how the game ought to be run. The tide has been changed in many games because some coach has got information to

CARE OF THE LAWN.
Plant Food Should Be Supplied
 Good Thick Sod Necessary.


 AS soon as the grass has gotten a good start this spring plant food should be applied in readily available form, particularly the nitrogen, as this ele- ment has been largely washed away by our winter rains. The most avail able form to supply this is from nitrate of soda. To supply 8 source for later use in late midsummer an application of high grade tankage will be found satisfactory. A second application of nitrate of soda in midsummer will aid a great deal in keeping the grass more thrifty and bettered co1ored. Appli- cation of muriate of potash is also de- sirable to make a balanced ration. The following quantities are recommended for spring application per acre: 100 pounds of nitrate of soda, 400 pounds of tankage, 100 pounds of muriate of potash.
 f To have an excellent looking lawn the first requisite is 8 good thick sod. Unfortunately there are few which have such a sod on our light soils. Thus it may be necessary to reseed annually in addition to the fertilizing. Since there is no grass that is better for lawns than Kentucky blue grass, the principal part of the reseeding mixture should be made up of this grass. Since it takes considerable time to get a firm sod of blue grass 1t is advisable to add others which are of similar nature. but quicker in forming a quick sod. Thus a mixture of red top and white clover should be added to the former. It is desirable to seed a surplus amount of seed rather than too little A mixture containing seven-eights parts of Ken lucky blue grass. two-thirtis red tor and one of white clover sowed on early in varying amounts according to the present land and worked in will thicken up. Rolling after seeding is needed to work the seed in and also to firm the soil around the roots which have been

1t is scarcely more than half a year. If hens are to lay well they must be well reared. It is not sufficient to be- gin good care, good feed and good housing along in November when one wishes to get eggs. All of this must be begun with the baby chicks. It is believed that the best chicks are those that have absolutely free range. Furth- ermore the chicks ought to get out of doors very early in life. They are not hothouse plants and when treated as such do not make the most deSira- ble growth. Under any ordinary weather conditions the simple rule of three can be followed as to the time Of getting the chicks out. Allow three days to hover break them, meaning that the chick knows enough to go to the source of heat; three days to hoIlse-break them meaning that the chick is familiar with all parts of the house in which he is brooded; and three days to yard break them; mean ing the use ofsa very small yard mere ly to teach the chicks to go in and out of tho houses. On the tenth day they should have their liberty, it will mean better and stronger chicks.

columns. The effect of solidity is intensified by the employment of dark gray stucco, roughly cast and by the use Of brown paint for the trim and the roof. In keeping with the general scheme, the flooring of the porch is of cement.
 This house is especially well adapted to 8. narrow lot, the foundation wall being only 25 feet across the front and 36 feet in depth. Even if the house should be erected amid congested sur round1ngs, the window arrangement will prove highly satisfactory, for all rooms are provided with plenty of light, independent of the windows at the sides of the house. This important factor should be taken into consfdera- ton invariably when building on a. narrow lot.

WHAT THE BOY SCOUTS ARE DOING
Troop No Three Notes.

In the inter-patrol contest the stand ing up to last Thursday is as follows: Bob Whites, 71.5; Eagles. 61.9.
 The meetings this week were by patrols, each working on second class tests. Next Tuesday there will be a troop meeting at which time Dr. Lester E. Walker has kindly consented to give f1rst-aid demonstration of bandagtng.
 On Saturday afternoon. if the wealth CT permits the entire troop in uniform is to take a hike in the country in search of egg masses of the destructive tent caterpillar. An opportunity will also be given for work on second and frst-clasS tests
 There is to be 8 meeting of the troop executive committee on Friday even ing to consider what action shall be taken regarding scouts who are de- inquent in dues or attendance for more than three successive weeks.
 Wolf Patrol.
 A number of boys. mostly attend ant at Park Congregational church, have banded themselves together for number of months under the title of the Wolf Patrol They have been do- ing their best along scouting lines without lealer, but their troubles now seem to be at an end. as they have been very fortunate in securing the consent of James L. Hubbard to serve as their Scoutmaster. This group of

 President Wilson's Address. In connection with the annual meet Scouts of America, held recently in Washington. D. C.. President Wilson delivered the following address: T am sincerely glad to have the pleasure of this visit from you, and l to have an opportunity to express my ivfp mt only in the ganization of the Boy Scouts, but in
 the objects that that organization has. From all I know of it, and from all l have been able to observe personally, 1 it Is an admirable organization, de- voted to objects that I myself thor ough1y believe in.
 There is only one rule in the world. and it applies to ali professions. and | that is that you are expected to make good No excuses are allowed in this
 school of life. and the only way to l make good is to keep faith That is kthe reason like the idea of the Boy Scouts because of their sincere motion of being responsible to society. They are responsible to the people who live | around them-to help maintain the standards of order and fidelity upon l which the community depends. You are recruits in the ranks that we all stand in, and that IS to serve the country in some way that will tell, and that has nothing in particular to do with our own personal benefit. The
 man who devotes himself exclusively to the development of his own char
 acter will succeed in nothing except to make of himself. prig. But if he devotes himself to helping other peo- pie, his character will not only take | care of itself, but will grow to a very noble stature T have always maintained that in
 the language of manufacture, char acter is a by-product- If you disre- gard the consequences to yourself in order to serve other people you will make a noble gentleman. and that I believe is fundamental and sacred in an organization of this sort T congratulate you for belonging to 1t, and I hope you will honor it in every way by your conduct and allegi- ance."
