HOME RUNS FEATURED
SUNDAYS CONTEST
Manager Stevens ClOuted Two
Circuit Drives and Mcknight
One.

One. g.
A bunch Of athletes from
HoustOnia, nine in number, rep
resenting that town in baseball,
with one portsider, misnamed
Boob" journeyed to Lexington
Sunday, met the Lexington
Athletics and returned with the
short end of a 10 to 2 score. This
was the Athletics third encount-
er, all of which have been won
with ease.
The Houstonians crossed the
pan right off the reel. Harris,
first up, was given a comp to
first by Carmichael, a passed
ball by Shinn and a timely sin
gle by Parkins, was responsible
for the tally. Lexington took a
8 to l lead in their half of the
initial inning, when Harris,
shortstop for the visitors fun
bled Harding's grounder, Howe
tripled and Mcknight found
Meme for a round trip. Hous-
tonia put over another in the
third, and the locals added a
pair in the sixth, when Manager
Stevens, got a four base clout
with Howe on the sacks.
Lexington cinched the game in
the eighth, when they gathered
a quintet of hits and as many
runs. In this inning, Boss Stew
ems swatted his second one over
the fence.
Boob" Meme, of Warrensburg
Normal, a southpaw, has been
here before. He was beaten by
the Greys last season while
pitching for the Kansas City Or
tiz Club.
Morris Mcknight of Kansas
City, who the fans of Lexington
have been wanting to see in the
local lineup, held his position at
the short field. Mac made two
hobbies, but redeemed himself
by his circuit drive. This was
his first game this year, and it is
hoped he will remain with the
team.
Manager Stevens seems to like
the location of the left field
fence.
Carmichael allowed the invad-
ers five safeties, while the locals
solved the offerings of Meme for
nine. Shinn did the receiving,
for the first time this year. He
got two bingles as did Howe and
Stevens.
Batteries: Ho%ustonia, Meme
and Smith; Lexington, Carmich-
ael and Shinn. Umpire, Abel.

Tested, cut the alfalfa and disc
the ground.
Wire worms injure corn and
potatoes most but feed freely
on wheat and oats. They thrive
best in sod ground and may be
controlled by crop rotation, fall
blowing, and good cultivation.
So may the grub-worms.
Grasshoppers damage field and
garden crops, and fruit and
shade trees. Poison bran mash
sowed early in the morning kills
them and their eggs may be
destroyed by cultivating pas
lures, meadows and waste lands
late in the fall.
Corn root lice suck the Juice
from the roots of corn, grasses,
and weeds. They depend on col
onies of small brown ants for
protection and transportation and
may be controlled by crop rota-
ton, fall blowing, and early
spring cultivation to destroy
weeds and grasses.
The army worm which eats
the leaves Of field and garden
crops may be trapped in dusty
bitches or killed with poison
bran mash sowed broadcast late
in the evening. Badly infested
meadows should be cut at once
to save as much of the hay as
possible.
Hessian fly grubs feed be-
tween the leaf sheath and the

of the plant. Destroy

down all volunteer wheat, sow
late in the fall and get your
neighbors to do the same.
The chinch bug sucks the
juices of corn, wheat, sorghums
and other plants of the grass
family. They may be trapped in
bitches if they go from
wheat to corn, or in rainy wealth
er an oil or tar barrier may be
necessary. If they get to the
corn, spray it with soap suds,
or tobacco solutions.
The clump forming grasses by
road sides and in waste lands
may be burned in late fall and
winter to kill chinch bugs
which collect there for the win
.er.
The poison bran mash recon-

half a pound of powdered lead
