PROTECT YOUR
YOUNG POPLAR
Favorable Weather Conditions
Beget Complete Stands OF
Young Poplar Seedlings
We SHOULD LOOK FOR LEAFS

Greatest Money-Makers Of All
Native Trees.

cialist.)
The season of 1915 is proving to be
q remarkable year in the restocking OF
woodlands TO young poplar. Full crops
OF seed coincident with weather con
ditions favorable for its termination
and the establishment oaGoung seed
ltngs come only at intervals of several
years apart.
In East Tennessee. and probably
widely throughout the region, the 1914
poplar seed crop was heavy. A mild
winter, followed by seasonable weather
In the spring of 1915, has resulted IN
one Of the most complete stands OF
young poplar seedlings for many years
Little poplars from one to four inches
high are plentiful in small openings
and under shade that is not too dense.
In one farm wood lot in Washington
county, where a few mature poplars
are standing in an oak-chestnut type,
there are now more one-year-old pop
lars than all other kinds put together
up to the ages of eight to fifteen years.
A selected tract, one square rod In
area, counted in July, contained nine
ty-Ave Seeding poplars. four hickorles,
four dogwoods, one sugar maple and
one sassafras. The whole woodlot
perhaps averaged as many as ten pop
lars per square rod, which means a
complete young stand. Seedlings and
saplings are to the woodlot exactly
what children and young people are
to a town; and a town with no inhabi-
tants except old people is doomed
Since young poplars are succulent
and eagerly eaten by cattle. horses and
sheep it is of the utmost Importance
to protect them against destruction
by grazing. After the trees become
we'll established and reach heights of
from to 10 feet, moderate grazing
can be permitted without serious dam
age.
OF the native trees, poplar appears
TO lead all others as the most promis-
ing money-making tree. 1t grows
quickly and early reaches marketable
size for pulpwood, excelsior, porch col
umns and saw timber While black
locust yields good returns, its use 10

owners Of Tennessee and adjacent
States will examine their woodiots for

ground, very many will and an album

and SGT out 10 young poplass per

this on an extensive scale this year
without cost. The PRACTICAL farmer,
looking to the future good Of his farm,
should not fail to exclude grazing for
the next few years from at least that

fowls. or record breaking pig, or
drive in a prize COW, or excellent
horse that you have and let the people
see it. Stock can be seen at your wag-
ons near the hall, and it will cause
You little extra trouble. A fine colt
would be interesting to horse lovers
and sheep and goats will not be de-
barred.
An effort is being made to secure
speaker from the University of Ten
nessee for both days to speak on dairy
ing and silo building and manage
ment, so there will be something else

Last year the best strain of i'm.
proved zinnias obtainable was planted
in ons flower garden, and the show
that resulted was very satisfactory.
This plant has been very much i'm
proved in recent years, and now comes
in brilliant orange-soarlets, clear pinks
and lemon yellows: the old dull pinks
and reds are scarcely seen In the best
mixtures. II seemed as IL every zinnia
in the garden was perfect.
Last spring great many Seeding
zinnias sprung up from seed OF last
years plants. No new seed was pur.
chased. Since all of last years plants
were OF the finest quality, it was rea.
sonable to suppose that these seed.
iings would produce equally perfect
Aewers. In fact more than half of this
years plants we're inferior. Many Of
the flowers were either single or semi
double, and the prevailing color was
dull pink and dull red shades Very
few OF the plans gave the brilliant
flowers that characterized last years
crop. t
The same thing is noticed in
petunias. Starting with the finest
frinEsd varieties. three years Of self.
sown plaats have resulted In revsr.
sion TO the old form and to a very
large degree. dull pinks and white.
One Of the agreeable experiences
with self-sown flowers has been with
hardy phlox. Several years ago a few
plants of four varieties we're planted;
they have seeded freely and many of
she seedlings have been permitted to

The Senatorial race is rip-snorting
along. About all the muck has been
raked up that is possible and the gen.
tlemen promise to vote for one anoth l.

when candidates deem it the part of a

 MADE cREDITAsLE RECORD.
Won 17 of the 21 Games They Took Part In.

The Academy nine under the leader ship of Captain Bill Stanley achieved high honors in 1914, having played 21 games, of which they lost only four, and piled up big scores on opposing teams. They started the season with 8 defeat handed to them by the Ding bats and ended the season likewise with a defeat by Fort Wright The tea mwas small, but composed of snappy --oung men who kept things moving. The prospects for 1915 are bright and Captain elect Charles Young is of the opinion that they will clean up the best of the teams in the state. Eddie Murray at shortStop led the batters at the end of the season, with Chick Stanley 8 close second.
 Their record follows: N. F. A. 2, Dingbats 13; N. F. A. 20, All Stars 15: N. F. A. i9, BulkeIey Ind. 0: N. F. A. 15. Killingiy High 0; N. F. A. 14 3; N. F. 4. 15, Morgan aigh 5; N. F. 10; N. F.

 Manager Bruce MadMillan of the 1915 team has laid plans for the for nation of an interscholastic baseball league, and he has already had com munication with several managers and the present indications look quite bright. The proposed teams are Pom fret, Windham Westerly, Killingly, Putnam. Stonington, BulkeIey and with the Academy makes up an eight team circuit

LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
 WENT TO ENGLAND
Fred Welsh Outboxed the American
 Champion Ritchie at London.

Fred Welsh, the lightweight cham pfon of England won the title of the world in defeating and outboxing Will ie Ritchie, the American champion in London, July 7. 1914. The decision given by the referee met with much disfavor among the American spec tators as it seemed to them that neither man appeared to best the other at the finish. The boxing was fast and clever throughout and neither man hit the mat once and fully six rounds were of 8 hurricane fashion.
 Throughout the fight the Englishman scored the largest number of blows, but those of the American appeared to be more telling. All the old timers at London agreed that it was the fastest and best bout seen in London for many years and some were of the opinion that Ritcl1ie would have come out on top if a finish fight had been staged. The Welslman displayed excellent foot work and lodging, which was far quicker than Ritchie. and relied most ly in getting into close quarters where Ritchie could not use his powerful swing During the last four rounds, he forced the fighting hard for a knockout, while his opponent resorted to points.

WHAT 1914 SHOWED IN THE WORLD OF SPORT

Connie Mack's widely known Philadel- phia Athletics was the product Of seasons of worry and grooming by the shrewd and experienced Connie Mack Unlimited credit must be given to George Sta1lings. the stalWart leader of the Braves, who in the short space of two years produced from collec-
 jon of young and untried baseball players one of the smoothest and the most efficient baseball machines ever known to the great American game.
 Stallings has been given the title of The Miracle Man. on account of this achievement Very few fans in the country would have been willing to place money last July on the Braves for becoming the undiSputed champs of the world for such a thing seemed impossible.
 It wa practically on July 9th that the Braves started on their conquering and triumphal march. Step by step StallingS and his ever fighting men swept through the defense of the Reds, Cubs and Cardinals anl lastly but by no means an easy task they downed the lordly Giants and were then con- ceded to be the winners of the National league flag.
 For several days near the close of the season the Braves and Giants battled. for the top notch, first one would take the lead then the other. The general opinion of the fans was l4idI buS otdSSS COu4Q keep up Luc pace as they would crack under the terrific strain. but did they? Captain EverS, the scraupy little second base man, who does not know what the name defeat means, kept his men on edge, never letting them slow down for one minute and through his tactunity and fighting nature added much to the wrestling of the championship in BoS- ton. To the victors belongs the spells and vcredft and unexpected as was the crushing defeat, the MackInen took 1t in sportsmanlike spirit, praising the winners and offering no excuse for their failure to win or hold in check their National League rivals. To crush completely the great Connie Mack combination was the slogan of the Bostonians, which they did and ob- taiued the championship of the uni verse. leav1nr a trail of surprises and upsets in their wake which will be hard to duplicate in years, From the bottom of the cellar to the unuues- tionable champions of the world
Norwich bulletin., 1915-01-01

On the eve of new year all in- dications point to another season Of great athletic activity throughout the United States during 1915. All pos sibility of International contests such as featured the past two years appear to have been eliminated as a result tof the European war, but national, sectional and intersectional sports and competition will undoubtedly con- tjnue to increase in the next 12 months. Because of the size and population of the country, these events will arouse almost as much interest as would be the case were foreign nations repre- scented on track. turf, and water.
 Schedule makers in scores of sports are busy compiling the lists of dates < and events to be held during the spring, summer, and autumn of 1915, and in almost every instance there is but one reply to the question regard ing the outlook. Greater than pre- vious year is the keynote Appar- ently sport in all it's amateur and pro- fessional angles has taken a com manding hold upon America Although only isolated dates in baseball, row ing, track athletics, automobile rac- ing, football tennis. and golf have been announced, the trend of sport is clear Iy defined. The boom which is carry ing the American of all ages and sexes into the open is still far from its max jrnun development.
 National events and championships will also take on added importance in 1915, since they will not suffer by comparison with international con- tests and foreign fixtures of greater traditional merit. In fact, America will have almost a monopoly on sport, since few, if any, of the European nations or their colonies will have either time or inclination for competi- Gion or pastimes next year. The &C., tion of various English sport-govern- ing bodies clearly forecasts the tenn porary abandoning of all the famous European classics. The Henley re- gatta. and the Oxford Cambridge boat races have been set over for year at least. Polo is out of the question, and the Wimbledon tennis champion ships most unlikely. Challenges from this country for matches for the polo trophy or the Davis cup will not be even suggested. The Shamrock ". challenger for the American Cup. and the prospective defending yachts, De- hance, ResoIute and Vanitie, are all housed for the winter, and it is doubt ful if any of the quartet wet a keel next summer. Nineteen hundred and fifteen will be great year for Amer ican sport, but it will be intramural sport. Champions of varied sports are as follows:

GROWTH OF THE FEDS.
New Baseball League Sprana Into Active Existence in 1914.

The baseball world in 1914 saw the birth of a new major league which has aroused much controversy among the magnateS and fans. The FederaIs virtually came into being with the .eap of Joe Tinker late in December, 1913, and from then on grew in jumps and hops during the winter of 1914, until climax was reached in the in vasion of Brooklyn by the Wards. 4 number of stars were induced to join the outlaws and steadily throughout the 1914 season they began to cut more cheese. One thing they have achieved which has benefited the players a good deal. and that is in making the mana gers bid high prices for their stars. Although turning In no great profits, the league came through the season in tact and has much brighter prospects for the 1915 season. Indianapolis cap tured the pennant after 8 hard battle for the, flag.
 Many of the sporting writers were labelling at the start of the season that the Feds wodld last until July, when the payroll seems to get heavy, but they manaeed to pull through and are from all appearance on a firm basis to fight back organized ball this coming season. In the way of legal procesBions they have had number of cases and the one that will cause much complications is the leaping and jumping of Walter Johnson, the speed pitching marvel of the world, who jumped to the Feds, and then after ac- cepting a s6,000 bonus stepped back into the folds of organized ball. But the real destiny of the league remains son will be a great test for the out laws.

BULLETIN GAVE CUPS FOR
 TWO SPORTING EVENTS.
and PiainfieId the Soccer Football Cup.

During the year of 1914 The Bulletin company were the donators of two tro- phieS which were called The Bulletin cups. One was awarded to Robert Mohrmann on May 30 for winning the modified five-mile Marathon race con- ducted under the auspices of the Y. M. c. A.. and the other was the stake for the Eastern Connecticut Soccer Foot ball league, which Plainfield captured and wrested away from TaftvilIe, which had the cup practically won.
 The Marathon race was the first Of it's kind conducted here in some time and stimulated great interest, as was demonstrated by the large number of people that lined up the streets eager ly watching for the winner, The course was as follows: Starting place,
 Bulletin building, up Franklin street, North Washington street, around the Norwich Town green, down East Town
 street, North Washington street, Wash ington street, over Main and up Broadway to the Y. NJ. c. 4. The race was fast and gruelling from the start and the winner showed remarka bie staying power and had plenty of spur&
 at the finish. The time was 2Sm fss. The Eastern Connecticut Soccer Football league Dassed it's initial sea. son 1914 and was pronounced suc- cess and the board of directors arc anticipating increasing the circuit to make eight teams. PlRinheId won the trophy after a hard fight in which the
 team displayed it's superiority over the other teams.
