Discipline" is likely to be the

football player and later coach of the

vocato of strict obedience to training

While il is not TO be expected that
Haughton will insist that the players
OF the Boston Braves viii be held to
the same degree OF accountability
that prevails in college football cir
cles, IL is certain that the now presi-
dent of the club will insist upon an
observance of all the rules recently
lad down by former President Gaif-
ney in his letter to the players. and
may even go farther With Haughton
as president and George Stallings as
manager il would appear as though

AT the coming annual meetings Of

keeping with the new code adopted at

While the rules have been altered
from time to time to meet changing
conditions, the impression prevails
that the regulations can still be inn
proved upon.
This is illustrated by an occur
Nnce last summer which involved a
prominent tennis authority and a
business man from the Middle West
The business man, who knew nothing
of tennis, was on an eastern trip when
he received request from friends
prominent in tennis circles at home
TO secure the entry of several high
class tournament players for a tour
ney about to start.
He called upon the other principal
of the story and after standing his
mission and requesting the latter's
assistance, explained that he was
willing to give several hundred dol
lars for expenses and a still larger
sum for the time ana services of the
players named. Il was pointed out
TO the business man mat tennis was
an amateur sport and tnat the play

INJURY BY LEAF ROLL
Better Seed Stocks Offer Best
Means of Control.
Where Disease Has Appeared This
Season II Is Wise Precautlon to
Import Seed From Other Sources
for Next Crop.
Rx W. oRToN.l

No measure offers more hope OF
success in controlling leaf roll than the
use of better seed stocks. Three
means may be used to bring this
about: First and simplest, the impor-
tation of seed potatoes from districts
where the disease is unknown. This
affords relief, but may not greatly
raise the standard of quality. Second,
hill selection, to pick out from weak
varieties strains that will Withstand
the disease. This has been done al
ready by Won Lochow, who took sew
eral types from the variety Professor
Wohltmann and bred them in pure
lines. The result was that certain OF
these pure strains showed susceptible
ity to leaf roll, while others remained
entirely or nearly free from 1t. Third,
new varieties may be bred from seed.
This, while requiring the most time,
may be the best means for meeting
the requirements where whole dis
tricts are attacked, as in the Colorado
outbreak few years ago. That such
good varieties can be produced one
can hardly doubt after seeing the col
lection of the agricultural department
Of over 10000 seedlings with its inf
mite variety of disease-resistant quail
tiles.
1t Is the prevailing opinion OF Eu-
ropean Investigators that leaf roll is
Inherited. e., that the tubers from
diseased hills will produce diseased
progeny. Cases are cited where the
