Bank was Incorporated under the
laws of Kansas in 1893 and is backed
by practically the same parties who
are interested in the new bank. 1t

its kind in the west and has built up

? EW YORK, Jan. S.-The advent
m of the new year has caused pref
ty nearly everybody to hope for
the best-to look forward to a luckier
return in the wheel Of fate. Quite a
flock Of persons and organizations who
are doing that just now can do so with
a lot Of confidence.
Let's take the Cleveland Maps, for in
stance. They are hopeful that they
won't finish any worse in 1915 than
they did in 1914. They won't hope in
vain. The Maps finished eighth in 1914
There will be but eight clubs in the
1915 American league race. so, you see.
the Maps can't finish any lower than
eighth.
Yale is instance No .. Yale is con-
fident that Harvard can't give her a
worse football beating than in 1914.
Most OF the 10000 folks who saw Har-
ward do it in 1915 are equally confident
about that The Harvard fellows
rushed up and down that field until
they had reached the limit of human
endurance. The limit was IS points.
Therefore Harvard can't go beyond the
human limit in 1915, and so there is
every reason for Yale to be confident.
No Beating for Polo Team.
The American polo team is confident
that it won't get a beating in 1915 The
reason is that there won't be any inter-
national match. The same thing goes
concerning our Davis cup team That
team, as many will remember, was
beaten by pair of Australian fellows
last summer. If the Australian fell
lows got a chance in 1915 they might
repeat. But they won't get a chance
They are too busy shooting projectiIes
to think Of vOlleying with tennis balls

Billy Evans Puzzle Plays


r T is to be regretted that there is a
difference in ruling in the two
Il major leagues on certain section
Of the balk rule. Such a condition is
confusing. It seemed that this feature
had been eliminated at the 1914 meet
ing Of the rules committee, but it
failed to be true. There is also a diff
ference on the infield fly interpreta-
ton. It seems that the National league
decided to adopt the American league
ruling on the infield fly, and the Amer
lean league, in return, was to adopt
the National league ruling on the balk
This would have made a uniform rul-
ing on the two plays for amateurs and
minor leagues to follow. The confus-
ion that the directly opposite rulings
create is shown in the following letter
recently received from fan in one of
the major leagues:
During the last two years have seen

two different rulings on the same
play. The rulings were made by two
major league Umpires. 1 wish YOU
would straighten out the tangle for me
In a game in the National league, there
was a runner on first and second. The
pitcher started to deliver the ball to
the batter, but, in winding up, he
struck his leg in such a way that the
ball was knocked out of his hands,
rolling 10 or Is feet in the direction of
the plate. The umpire allowed both
runners to advance a base. In a game
in the American league the very same
play came UP under exactly similar
conditions. The runner on second ran
to third while the pitcher was recover
ing the ball, but the runner on first
made no effort to advance. The UNI
pire allowed the men to remain in that
order. Why, in one league, have both
men the right to advance, while in the

OFFICIAL DOPE ON
The GIANT CACTUS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. SAC
oordlng to the Bureau of Research the
botanlcal name of the Giant Cactus
is Cereus Gigantus. Recently a great
many potanlsts have come to the be-
nef that 1t did not belong properly to
the Genus series and so new genus
was made for this plant, which is
called Carnegiea This name was
given in honor of Andrew Carnegie,
by Dr. Rose of Washington, IN honor
OF Carnegie's donations toward science.
The Common name for the Giant Cac-
tus is Sahuaro. These plants grow
throughout southern Arizona, northern
Mexico and in one part of southern
Callfornia-along the Colorado river
II grows best in the heavy gravelly
clay soils on the Arizona foothills and
high mesa slopes up to an altitude of
about 4500 feet. Above the altitude
the young plants are killed with Sc
we're cold weather and they cannot get
a start; below that altitude the soil
moisture is usually not favorable for
their growth without some irrigation.
The origin of the plant is very
difficult to determine. Some few
species grow in Mexico that are
similar to the Suhuaro, but a study
of the trunks, flowers and fruits show
them to be entirely distinct. There
seems to be no question, however, but
that the flowers and fruits of the
Sahuaro show that it is nearl related
to the group of cacti known as Cereus.
Most of these are low or else are
climbing plants and hence do not re-
semble the sahuaro specifically. Some
have branching habits similar to the
sahuaro.
The sahuaro does not begin to
branch until is well along in years
and then only a few branches are
grown out. 1t does not begin to blos-
som until it is at least Is to 80 years
old The larger of the Giant Cactus
are easily SO to so feet high and
weigh several tons. AT any rate. a
giant cactus to 10 feet high weighs
as much as 1000 pounds
The larger of the Giant Cactus are
easily ESQ years old and perhaps 300
years. 1t has never been possible to
compute accurately the ages of the
Giant Cactus since the woody bundle
is not we'll developed and the annual
rings of growth do not always occur
sufficiently distinct to enable one to
count them.
