the University of Maryland. by

sity. showing the Brooklanders to
their utmost all the way. but the
University OF Maryland was
somewhat weak and Was en-
tirely outplayed by the llatchet-
ties.
Four new players showed up
well for the two winning teams,
two men for each. Giacomo eX-
hibited some sterling qualities, as
a forward for George Washing
ton, and Hills of the same :quint
proved a guard OF considerable
worth. O'Brien at forward aud
Glascott at guard for Catholic
University were main factors III
the success of the Brooklanders.
Giacomo was 4 big figure on the
offense and his general t1oorlHork
was creditable. Hills main
worth lay i'll his ability to play
fine defensive game.
O'Brien showed himself TO be one Of
the most accurate goal shots seen on
local five in many a uay. In the
first half against Gallaudet he tossed
five from the floor and three rom the
foul line and in the second h:i.f Sot
SIX from the floor and five from free
losses. He scored thirty IF his .ea,ns

Roth Pays Unique Tribute.

Now for an equally fine compliment
from a player on the Cleveland club
which he had just joined. Such an
excellent showing was made by the
Indians in the early spf77fs that it
caused a strong demand for a team
picture of the club that was proving
to be the big surprise of the year. 1t
so happened that the morning a num-
Der Of photographers came out to get
group picture Speaker was missing.
A number Of spaps were taken. and a
pliers brought out several proofs, so
that the players could pass their opin-
ion Most of the pla ayers very nat
uralIy gave their own likeness the most
attention, and as it happened to be a
very excellent picture of the entire
squad. II was highly praised by all
the athletes. Bobby Roth was one Of
the last players to give the proofs the
once over.
1T is a poor picture" was Roth's
entirely unexpected comment. After
all the praise that had been showered
on his efforts, the photographer was
much disappointed at this adverse
criticism.
1T is an excellent picture of you,
Mr. Roth" suggested the photographer
Fine OF me- replied Bobby; never
realized what good looking fellow ]
am, he continued smilingly. but IL
you look the picture over carefully
you will find that tive club was missing

Rather an unusual and compIimep-
tary way to call attention to the fact
that Speaker was not included in the
photograph.

HOW TO PRESERVE

!. !. =! !. 4 - : 4 = 49,
Peas.

There are two things absolutely
necessary to do in growing peaches in
Sumter county. One of these things
Is keeping the borers out Of the trees
and the other is keeping the San Jose
scale subdued. in order that the tend
er branches may make any growth.
The scale is controlled by spraying
With solution of lime sulphur, while
the trees are in the dormant stage
and right now Is the time to begin to
control the borers. Mound all peach
trees with dirt to height of eight to
ten inches within the next two or
three days. Then about October 26
level this dirt and you will get rid of
most OF the bOrers: There are other
sprayings beside the one for scale that
VIII aid In making better fruit. but
killing the scale will save the trees
provided the borers do not girdle or
ruin the trunks.
For years there has never been
Such an abundance OF cheap peas in
Sumter county and you should not fail
to take advantage of this opportun
ity to broadcast every acre of idle
land on your farm. If you have not
already done so. plant some iron or
Brabham peas for your seed another
year. These peas do not have nema-
todes or root knot and thereby injure
the land for planting cotton. if there
Is trace of blight or cotton wilt. AL
ready large percent of the peas
grown in the county are of these two
varieties and since they are just as good
II not better than the Others why not
eliminate all but the iron and Brab-
ham varieties. The Brabham are ex-
actly like the iron in every particu-
lar except they are slightly more pro-
life.
We cannot grow too much forage
this year. especially those who are
figuring on shipping cream.
