Lifting Litter From Strawberry Bed

Friend John Bartram: When shall l
take off the litter and straw from my
strawberry bed? MAC.
Next month, when the crowns show in
dcation of leaving, lift some of the straw,
particularly between the rows which
should be cultivated cleanly. Leave
fair proportion of the litter on permanent
ly. This mulch protects the plants from
cold in the winter and scald and heat in
the summer, and likewise keeps down the
weeds. But it does not do all the work,
so you will have to use your wheel cul-
tivator or hand hoe occasionally.

TETHEN you are sick and have to gulp

keen competition for gymnastic titles
in the annual championship tourney OF
the Metropolitan Association, to be held

Wednesday evening. In former years
college representatives have been in the
minority, but in the present meeting

club members follow this sport more
closely than the university lads they
are expected TO make a cleanup of the
individual titles. Entries Of gymnasts
from this state, New Jersey and Con-

apparatus.
The programme contains eight events,
exclusive of the all-around competition.
This list is composed OF Indian club

izontal bar, parallel bars, side horse,
long horse and flying rings, the last five
events comprising the all-arOund strug-

forms in unerring style will be the
winner. More than one hundred ath-

lard's name will never have 20 II the
glamour that is still in the name OF
John l.. Sullivan. II may be that the
latest champion is by far the more
lovely character but he has not the
magnetism or the personality Of Sui
llvan.
We must judge the fighter, not by the
skilful manner In which he rocks the
cradle. but by the way he shoots over
the right cross 10 the chin.
John DOYLE. the father of golf pool,
who is also an ardent fan IN all lines
of sport. was comparing the alleged
brutality of boxing with that Of foot
ball. Besides having seen every box
ING contest within reach. John has seen
some of the biggest football games
from the edge of the playing field.
81 was thinking Of one game where
the great Butterworth played full
back" unused John. AT the end of the
first half one of Butterworth's eyes
was completely closed and it had 10 be
bandaged. The eyeball of the other
was red with blood. and II seemed that
the fullback could not see. They were
going to take him out.
But Butterworth put up frantic
wall. 4 can sec, he insisted. You
lust try me out and I'll show you that
I can see. SO they snapped the ball
at him from a dozen different angles
and he was able 10 grab II, somehow,
though he seemed absolutely blinded
TO me and his face was one mass OF
cuts and bruises.
IF he had been in a prizehght the
people would have shouted for him 20
be taken off. A referee would have
ruled him out as too dangerously hurt
20 proceed But Butterworth was sent
back for that second half, and he
bucked the line continuously until the
ball was down 10 the enemy's lO-yard
Inc Then there was an awful battle.
when they pried the boys apart
rutterworth was out for keeps. They
thought for while that he was dead.
But when they carried him to the side
lines they saw that he was breathing,
so they went on with the game
81 never saw man SO badly used
M in any prizefght that | ever saw,
and | have seen a great many. Why,
fight fans wouldn't stand TO see man
battered up that way.
81 do not say that football ought to
be abolished just because IL is a fight
ing game and tougher one than box
ing. All games worth while are fight
ing games.
But can't see why they should
moan over boxing bouts as brutal AMI
then hold up football "a an example OF
gentle sport"

energies from a long period of medits-
ton this week and engages IN combat
with one Jack Geyer. Since the Ros-
common Giant twice took the count be-
fore Frank Moran he has become de-
cidedly meditative. The result of his
long period Of thought is DECISION to
begin at the bottom and TO fight his way
to the top once more.
The Grewsome and Cory Geyer-to
keep up the alliterative style founded
by Jimmie Johnston is somewhere near
the bottom. 50 Shamus has decided TO
start climbing over his PROSTATE form
The Roscommon Giant expects TO have
Geyer bite the rosin al the Stadium A.

'the Ferocious and Formi dable Fred
erick Fulton has left his home beside
the Milwaukee brewery and will be in
New York on Monday. He will imme-
diately start his training at the Pioneer
Club. Anybody who doubts that Fred
erick IS formidable may see for himself
at two bits per peek"
The millionaires behind the syndicate
are very shy az revealing their iden-
tity, but II was said along Park Row
that Tammany Young. the Crnsus Of
Madison Square Garden, was one OF the
heaviest subscribers.
The Ferocious and Form idable Fred
erick IS TO make his debut with Al Reich
the Manhattan AdOnis, who has lost
nearly as many fights as Arthur Pelky
If Frederick should win one more from
him it will mean nothing IN AIS young
life nor in ours.

agent OF the Stadium A. {. tells US. will
deposit $4,000 with the Boxing Comm 5
sion. 70 be paid over to Fulton for the
Reich bout. Since when has the august
Boxing Commission decided to act in
place Of Bob Vernon and the other well
known Stockholders?
In conclusion, Mr.. Mack sheds a few
tears over the rapacity Of William Glib
son. who. he declares. asks $4,000 70
send Coifcy into the ring with Fulton.
But a syndicate backed by such sterling
hnancicrs as Tammany Young will hard
IS hesitate over a paltry sum like 10000
