AS the result of an unusual incl
dent that has happened in Lincoln
last week, the official scorer of the
Lincoln club gave Dashner credit for
winning a game in which he worked
only one inning, while the league sta
tistician gave the credit to Hall when
the latter was not in the game at the
time it was won.

render a real service to baseball by
laying down a clear rule for deterInin-
ing the winning pitcher in a game
where two or more work for the same
club.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1916-05-25

The facts in the case show that
from a standpoint of equity Hall was
more entitled to the credit than Dash
ner, but is it possible to give a game
to pitcher when the winning runs are
made after he has been relieved? If
such cases were left to the judgment
of the scorer and he were permitted
to give the game to the pitcher who
did the most to win it, there would
be no question, but so far as this col
umn knows no such liberty is granted
official scorers and the only rule they
have to go by is that laid down by
precedent.

the plant food in the soil where they
are planted.
Peonies are grown from division
of old plants and also from seed. 1t
takes from five to eight years to come
into full bloom from seed.
To get the best results from phlox
they should be planted new each fall
or spring and given plenty of water
while in bloom.
Hardy phlox can be transplanted at
any time, preferably in the spring or
early fall by dividing the old clumps.
Plant in April about fifteen to eighteen
inches apart and pinch the tops back
when about four inches high. The re-
suit will be that they will give a maxi
mum Of f1orets and very large head
of bloom. Give an occasional dressing
of manure or manure water.
When very large mass of plants is
desired, pinch back about one-third of
the stems about May 1 and about three
weeks later another third should be
pinched back This lengthens the
season of blooming and adds to
their beauty.

PLANT FOR BEAUTY
BY |. M. BENNINGTON.

A tropical effect can be obtained by
planting a round bed with few
castor-oil plants in the middle, with
tall-growing cannas around them.
Use elephants ears for the border.
A glorious hedge is obtained from
saliva, Plant a triple row of the red
sage, as it is often called. Set it, but
early in June. and let it grow un-
checked until it is blaze of color.
If the aphis attacks the sweet peas
spray them with strong soap suds.
Give heliotrope rich, porous soil,
composed of leaf mold, thoroughly
rotted manure, and sand to make it
friable. 1t requires good drainage
and plenty of water and will not thrive
in heavy sour soil.
Ever-blooming larkspur is novelty
that has proved hardy and beautiful.
1t grows to great height, four or five
inches tall, and is constant bloomer.
AS hardy perennial of great beauty
it is well to try the Albion, white and
bella-donna, sky blue, they are a
riot of gorgeous coloring and a great
improvement over the oldtime lark
spur.
Sow mignonette every two weeks
until the middle of July. There is nc
flower so fragrant and it is easily
grown and will supply plenty of per
fume for the home rooms.
Much better than the commercial,
fertilizer is well-decayed manure. II
supplies humus, which improves the
capacity of the soil for holding mois
ture and admitting the air to the
roots.
Take care of the palms and plants
that have been growing in the hous,
all winter. Do not expose them tt
the full sunshine of the garden. Keel
them in a secluded spot until the!
become accustomed to it.

cluding the docks at Barry and Per-
arth as part of the port, it saw the
greatest quantities of foreign shipping
clear from it's docks of any port in
the United Kingdom. With the out

loss of practically all of her coal fields
by France, and with growth of
need of coal by Russia and by France
greater than ever before for the man

nitions that the war is consuming,
Cardiff became place Of first strate-
gic importance, a heart-source of en-
ergy to the entente powers.
The Welsh port conforms to the
best American tradition, in that it has
grown from an insignificant village to
a center of world Importance during
two brief generations. In 1881 it had
population of 6,187. 1t now has
population of more than 10000, ire
mendous business, highly developed
harbor, equipped with the most mod
ern machinery and port appliances,
and some of the finest public build
ings in Great Britain. It's annual ship
ments of fuel totaled before the war
about S,5OO,OO0 tons.
In a Rich Mining Region.
The growth of Cardiff began when
Great Britain started upon it's career
of being the factory nation of the
world. The port, situated upon the
River Taft, mile above its outflow
into the Bristol channel, lies in the
midst of a rich coal and iron country,
whose vast deposits have formed an
undiminishing stream of lifeblood,
not only to British industry but to the
| Industries of many other countries.
! The whole region surrounding the
town is honeycombed with coal and
iron mines. These minerals have been
mined here for centuries, and were
formerly brought down from the hills
on the backs of mules and in rudely
constructed wagons. With the rise OF
the star of industrialism, the construc
tion of an up-to-date harbor and OF
efficient means for transportation
Cardiff came into its own, became big
prosperous, rich, renowned.
While the export of this port is
enormous, it has but an inconsidera
BILE import. It's docks receive iron
ore, pit-wood, grain, flour and cattle

are established here. There are alst
large wire factories, general foundrie'
and engineering works. Many of thu
citys general manufactures are sen
to London, which is LAG miles to tht

Cardiff owes much of its progress tt

lied the Importance of this place a.

eral wealth of the surrounding coun

dock here in 1899 The present Lore
Butte owns the docks and basins of th,
harbor proper, five in number and GOV
ering 10 acres, while numerous othe
docks extend down into tie Bristo
channel. Despite the city's great de
velopment in all directions. the ez
haustion of shutting down of its Goa
mines would rob it of its importance

They Were All Named.

A party of engineers were making
railway survey through the back
woods hill country of Kentucky, and
were boarding at the various farm
houses along their route. One day
they stopped at slatternly cabin for
dinner. During the meal the house
wife explained the lack of sufficient
cutlery to go round by saying that
the children had been playing with
her knives and lost them. At that a
precocious youngster at the foot of
the table interrupted her with:
NAV! Oh nav! They're all here"
Hush, JohnRy!"
But NAV, they're all here!" and he
rose in his place and pointed to each

HAVE A FLOWER FARM
BY E. VAN eENTHuYsEN.

The demand for choice flowers never
fails and the big cities of the United
States sell enormous quantities. They
must be fine though.
The city man who wishes flowers for
a special decoration does not care how
much they cost if they are the best
that can be grown.
Flower farming is an agreeable oc-
cupation. But little help is required.
The costly adjuncts, such as curing,
drying. housing and storing are not
required Plants increase in value,
and once place is going it continues
to increase in productive ability with
each year.
Flower farming does not require rich
soil, but It must be quick and respon-
sive. Some OF the requirements for
success, however, demand that your
farm be located near a railway station
and should have the convenience of a
telephone. ice or cold spring, and a
good road to town.
Start in small way. Be content to
buy from 100 to 500 plants each year
until your plants get old enough to di-
vide and build your stock from. BY
starting in small way you will ac-
quire the necessary experience to cope
with the situation and understand the
workings on larger scale. No book
knowledge can compare with a years
actual experience.
There are many plants that increase
prodigiously. Others take several
years to be strong productive plants
The hydrangea will pay for itself in
a single year The peony takes longer
to arrive at perfection.
II planted in the fall the peony will
bloom the first season, but youns
plants are apt to be too quick in get

HYDRANGEAS

In the spring hydrangeas should
have some branches cut out at the
bottom to give them a more compact
and sturdy look. They should occupy
a sunny position in the garden and be
protected from the cold winds of au-
tumn. When the buds begin to swell
in the spring cut the branches at the
bottom and the plant will quickly
throw up shoots that will produce large
