French Artillery
Fire Is Proving
Most Destructive

Paris, July 4.--The night was quiet
north and south of the Somme with
the French organizing the conquered
positions, says the French official
statement issued today. The Ger.
mans made no attempt to interfere
with French troops which were con
solidating the new positions.
In addition to the batteries al.
ready captured. three more have been
taken, two of which were composed
of heavy guns. French artillery is
proving most destructive. In one dug
out which was wrecked by shell 40
corpses were found.
The Germans are said to have SUI
fered enormous losses in the fighting
near Herbecourt, which the French
captured
At one point between the Avre and
the Aisne French reconnaissance
penetrated as far as the support
trenches.
Heavy fighting continued last eve
ming on the Verdun front. The Ger
mans made six successive attack
northwest OF Thiaumont works from
which they were driven by the Frencf
recently few hours after they had
carried It. Last nights attacks were
repulsed, the Germans sustaining con
siderable losses. southeast of Fumii

Quiet Night In the somme

The text of the statement says;
North and south of the Somme
the night passed quietly. The enemy
undertook no offensive action against
our troops, who have organized them
selves in the positions they conquer

Further information confirms pre-
vious reports that the war material
captured by us is considerable. Three
new batteries, two OF them OF heavy

PROTECT YOUNG APPLE TREES

Precautions Should Be Taken Against
Winter GirdIins by Mice and Rabbits.
| 1t is time to protect newly planted
apple trees against winter girdling by
mice and rabbits. A tree thoroughly
or even partially girdled has little or
no chance to live without expert bridge
grating, which is not especially easy,
at least for the man who is unaccus-
toned to it. Perhaps the best protec-
ton is obtained by using a thin wood
en- veneer wrapper which has been
soaked to keep it from breaking, then
bent around the tree and held in place
by a single wire about the middle.
The wire stays in place better if press
ed through hole near the outer edge
of the veneer wrapper. The wrapper
should be pushed down into the earth
or they may be shut out by heaping
soil up around the bottom Of the case
and tramping it firm. Coiled screen
wire may be used in much the same
way, but it is more expensive. The
veneer wrappers do not usually cost
more than half or three-quarters Of a
cent apiece and can be secured from
any orchard supply house.
Bunches of long grass or split corn
stalks may give good protection against
rabbits, but fail to keep mice from do.
ing harm. Newspaper or tar paper
wrapped around the tree trunk has
been successfully used by many Or
chardists.
Paint and washes do not give good
results, as the rabbits sometimes seem
to attack the washed trees more than
the untreated ones.
Damage from mice should be avoid
ed by the removal of all loose, trashy
material from the. neighborhood of the
base Of the tree trunk. If the ground
has been fall plowed the under furrow
slice furnishes good nesting places for
mice, and the nearby trees are likely
to suffer, but if the ground near the
tree is clean and well compacted little
damage will be done by these rodents.

The Georgetown University basket ball
team is scheduled to play today and to-
morrow. Tonight it is to meet the quint
representing the Brooklyn Polytechnic
Institute and tomorrow it goes against
the George Washington FIVE. While
neither of the opposing organizations will
be as strong as some Of those met by the
coming practically together ought to give
about as hard task as they desire.
Georgetown won from the Brooklyn
Polytechnic Institute on it's trip north
and expects to do so again tonight.
However, the game with George Wash
ington tomorrow night will be a much
different proposition.
Tradition causes Georgetown to have
the advantage in any contest in which it
faces George Washington. but with a
former Blue and Gray star in charge of
the Hatchetites they may show something
of the spirit and determination which
generally animates the Hiltoppers. George
Washington, too, is certain to have
profited somewhat from George Coli
flowers coaching in the last few days,
even if the time is very short in which
he has been in charge. 1t will be the
Hatchetites first contest under the new
regime and a big crowd of their sup
porters probably will watch the COM
bat in the hope that their school may
win.

the Georgetown indoor track games. to

ing Sun. AS the atmosphere gradually
clears it becomes evident that the big
magnates acted wisely when they
planned to take care of the leading
Fed hackers. These men were George
$. Ward Of Brooklyn, H. F. Sinclair of
Newark. Philip Ball of St. Louis and
Charles Weeghman of Chicago.
How will Ward fare? He will receive
$4,000 year for twenty years, each
major league paying $4,000. But Of
this money he must pay the rent of
Washington Park, which cannot be
| leased by him for professional base
ball purposes. In summing up the dis
sstrous campaign of the Feds the
sharps roughly estimated the losses of
the Wards at 100000. SO that the
chance to recover some of the none v
doubtless appealed to them.
Weeghman. in return for his defec-
ton, was permitted to buy the Cubs
for 100000 and to keep Tinker as
the team manager. Ball was mollified
with an opportunity to secure the ST.
Louis Browns for as much as WEIGH
man paid for the Cubs. Sinclair who
says that he burned up half a million
the right to sell the releases of twenty
or more Fed players. So far he has
disposed of a dozen for about $4,000.
AS the Kansas City and Buffalo Fed
eral League clubs went into bank
ruptcy before peace was declared, the
Feds in Pittsburgh and Baltimore were
all that were left. What did they get"
Bile to get under the big tent the other

vide for them. In brief, organized

fulfilled. will have paid at least $500,

The stockholders of the Baltimore
Federal League club have been advised
to raise a $4,000 fund with which to

President Rasin. The latter admitted
that the death of Robert Ward of The

Just how it is figured that the Balti

Federal League is not clear. A ma
jor&ty OF that organization voted Tor
peace with organized base ball and the
majority always rules in matters of
1t is not likely that the $4,000 will be
easy to raise for the reason that 1t
looks like throwing good money after
bad. There Is no way for the Balti-
either of the major leagues, for the
very good reason that the town has
never proved itself adequate to support
a ma or leagus club.
Connie Mack has sprung another sur
prise by releasing Shortstop kopf to
the Baltimore club. Neither OF the
pitchers, Knowlson or Sherman, were
of high enough class for the American
League but kopf gave evidence of hav-
ing the making Of good ball player,
and it was not believed that Mack had
any intention of letting him out. But
having done so 1t IL a pretty fair guess
that he has some one in view whom he
considers Kopfs superior.
The following is from the pen of
William B. Hanna Of the New YORK
Sun:
There is just about as much warrant
for thinking that professional base ball
will be hurt by a spreading desire on
the part of sport lovers to take part in
games themselves as to think the the
patrons want to do their own acting

or prisoners base. ...
professional base ball has it's own
fixed place as an amusement ana con-
sidered in that aspect alone has pop
ularity and appeal firmly established
and solidly founded on merit In its
combined phases of spectacle and
means of participation base ball is the
best and most popular sport we have.
1t is superior artistically to any other
sport and in it's professional depart
ment is on as high a plane ethically--
with none of the false pretense to be
found in amateurism-as any amateur
sport, college, club or otherwise.
According to figures compiled by
Capt T. l.. Huston, the New York
Yankees have spent $4,000 for new
players since last summer, when the
clubs scouts began to hustle around
trying to find talent. Here is a list of
the purchases and prices paid:
