Sorghum Smut

Sorghum smut is very common in Ha
wall. 1t can be prevented by treating
the seed with bluestone solution or two
Uer cent formaline. Soak the seed
twenty minutes in formaline. The smut
fungus attacks all portions of the plast
but is mainly in evidence on the seed

 Numerous questions were asked con- corning his mission, but Colonel House declined to discuss this subject, refer ring to the statement given out at the time of his departure Nor would he talk of his conversations with the am bassadors at London and Paris.

AFFECTING SCENE
 BETWEEN ROYALTY

Rome, January 23.-There was an affecting scene last nght at the cen tral station between Queen Helena of Italy and her mother, Queen Milena, of Montenegro, who, accompanied by her daughters. Princess Xenie and Princess Vera, reached Rome about g o'clock on her way from Brindisi to Lyons, France, where the Montenegrin court is to take up it's residence.
 King Victor Emmanuel and Queen Helena, with the Prince Royal Humbert and Princesses Yolanda and Mafalda were at the train. The King discreet ly left the mother and daughter to- gether, both weeping, to console each other.
 The Italian royal children embraced their grandmother fervently and the party remained together for several hours.
 After spending the night in Rome, the rZembers of the Montenegrin royal family continued on a special train to Lyons.
 The fact that the King and Queen met the Montenegrin Queen is taken as evidence of good faith that Monte negro will cling to the alliance with Italy and the other entente powers to the end. The Mess Agero says: At the last moment Montenegro preferred national honor and accepted , the guarantees of Italy and her allies | for national restoration, as in the case of Servia and Belgium"

ALEXANDER EASY FOR DOC JOHNSTON, SHOW STATISTICS Former Pelican Batted for .4O9 Against Star Twirler. Faced Alexander in
 Six Games

Doc Johnston was not accounted d fence e-breaker when he was in the American league, yet, going into the National, he manages to wallop the Tenerites' best pitcher-Grover Cleve- land Alexander of the Phillies-for a percentage of .40s. It is questionab ble if any other pastimer hit as we'll against Alec in 1915 as did the local product.
 He batted against the star of the Moran pitching stables in six games and came through with safety in each of the contests except that played on July g. Then Doc raised sacrifice fly that put the Pirates in possession of their lone run. Johnston twice made three hits off Alexander in games, and that's another performance no National leaguer was able to equal last season. Moreover, he struck out but once in p legitimate times at bat.
 Johnston's batting average against Alexander would have been .429 but for a piece of boneheaded baserunning by George McQuillian in the fray of May H. That bit of skull work euchred John = ston out of sacrifice fly. This was Johnstons record against Alec last sea- son:

LOCAL FIVE WILL BE IN GOOD CONDITION. OTHER SPORT NOTES

New York, January 2S.-The Eu- ropean war has cut heavily on the realm of sport, drawing men prominent in atheletics, automobiling, boxing wrestling, hockey, tennis, aviation baseball and golf from their chosen fields to the trenches or some other field of the international strife. Scores of notables already have fallen. Hun dreds remain with the fighting forces
 Among the present and former day greats of the boxing realm now on duty with the allies are George Carpenter, heavyweight champion of France; Bombadier Wells, of England; Jack Munroe of Canada, and Jimmy Britt, former American lightweight cham pion. Word comes from Paris to the effect that Carpentier, who is attached to the French aviation corps has been decorated with the military cross for daring work in an aeroplane.
 Carpenter joined the French army at the outbreak of the war, and has since been in the thiCkest of the fight ing At one time he was in the signal service, and twice had his apparatus blown away by German shells Munroe who sprung a surprise on Jim Jetfrles in a four-round combat, lost a hand recently in battle. Britt. while filling a vaudeville engagement in Sydney, got the war spirit, enlisted with an Australian detachment and last reports had him in the field among the Darda- nelles.

 An echo of the days of bare-knucllle fighting is heard in the announcement that Frank p. Slavin is soon to make his appearance in London as soldier.
 Slavin has joined regiment just formed in Victoria, B. C., and composed principally of engineers and frontiers men. The organization is known as the Sixty seventh Western Scots. and SlaV- in holds the rank of sergeant Slavin was at the height of his ring career almost generation ago, and there is doubt that a cordial greeting will be extended to him in England.
 His great battle in LondoH ~'ith Peter Jackson 23 years ago is still fresh in fistic memory, and Slavin always held warm spot in the heart of English ring enthusiasts.

HARRY 'CORM|CK
 LOOKING FOR A JOb
 IN BARROW CIRCUIT
The Former Lookout Pilot Makes Application for, Managerial
 Berth

Harry Mccormick, former Chattanooga
 manager, has made application for a
 managerial berth in the International
 league. Four berths in Ed Barrow's cir
 cult are still not allotted, namely, Roch-
 ester, Newark, Richmond and Toronto
 Mccormick has listed his name with
 President Barrow and has also written
 several of these four clubs. The ex-
 Lookout asserts that he can still pound
 tho old globule and that things merely
 ''broke' bad for him down south.
 John Ganzel, who jumped from the
 Rochester Internationals to assume
 charge of the Brooklyn Federals, is can
 didate for his old job, and also has
 hunch that in case he doesn't make it
 at Rochester he can land with the New
 ark club. Unfortunately for John, he is
 ''in bad' with Ed Barrow, and has been
 told that his company is not wanted in
 the International
 Ganzel by the way, showed rather
 shortsightedness in his dealings with the
 Feds.
 Johns shortsightedness was shown in that he boarded the Federal ship when it was already sinking and finds himself high and dry without an iron-clad con tract. He is a superb manager, however, and doubtless will be taken care of be- fore the Federals cease to take interest in their former chattels.
 As to whether Harry Mccormick could make good in a league as fast as the h.
 ternational there is considerable to be said both ways McCormicll's tempera- lment unftted him for handling and put ting the fight into youngsters of which the Southern league largely consisted. In the Internationals, where most of the players are veterans, he might find the managerial picFings easier,
 A pair of Jacks are floating around in the Southern league with no takers. It appears that southern magnates need a better hand than this to open negotia- tons, but at that it's hard to see why esome clubs that don't possess them are not after them.
 One of the Jacks is Jack Johnston of Chattanooga. Effort to find diamond home for the former popular local come dian have proven futile up to date. Jack ought still to have lot of baseball in his system. He was handicapped by an overconfidence and carelessness due to his intimacy with Manager Mccormick and his knowledge that he always had his job cinched. When the Kid got the managerial toga Jack found himself out of condition and altogether out of joint, as it were, so thatS he couldn't get strengthened out. If he has taken care of himself this winter, Jack might be able to start the coming campaign at his old clip. in which event he would strengthen any outfeld in the circuit.
 The other Jack is Jack Diamond of Nashville. The lad with the dinle-novel name is on the market with no bidders. He was a superb utility man last year, but a utility man is not needed in the league this year, with only IA men on a clubs roster, and Jack didn't show suf- ficient hitting ability to command atten- l tion as a regular proposition.

HERE'S ANOTHER
 CAME INVENTED ID SATISFY THE GOLFER
Latest Addition to List of Sport Amusements in Golf POOP-Game
 Explained

Since the royal and ancient game of golf began, some 450 years ago, thou sands of enthusiasts have tried to in vent a game with somewhat of a golf twist to take its place in the winter months.
 There have been numerous games with cards and as many different va floor. Now new one has sprung into existence and has become a fad at bil- Hard halls and clubs.
 It is called golf pool" and is played on a pool table with regular pool balls and cues. It resembles golf about as
 much as shuttlecock and tiddlewinks resemble pool, but the table is green and so are golf links and that is eX- cuse enough. g.- The inventors must have been pos
 sessed of fiendish desire to add to
 the worries of mankind. It Is an eX- asperatng game, for about the time you compliment yourself on having
 mastered it, the chances are you find you haven't.
 While you might tear around the IS holes, or pockets, in record figures on one round, you are likely to rank with the worst duffers on the next attempt.
 Three balls are used-a cue ball. an object ball and a ball which is used as a floating bunker, which costs the play | CT one stroke, when either of the other | balls touches it.
 1 There are four sand traps placed around the cushions, two brooks near l the spot on each end and one big pond at the end of the table. | The object ball is in the middle of the table at the start, and you play it into l the right hand side pocket in the few est possible shots This is hole No. 1
 No 2 is the upper right hand corner i pocket.
 1 The others of the six pockets are played in order. When you complete 1 the six, you start at hole No. again 1 Three rounds constitute a game. | You play one hole and then your l opponent shoots from the place you
 leave the cue ball, but the red ball is ! spotted in the center again. 1 The idea is to leave him as difficult
 a trap, he must hit cushion before he
 trap, he must hit csuion before he
 hits the red ball. He also is not allowed
 to jiggle his cue, but must take ain l and shoot.
 | If he mises the ball at any time, ii
 costs him three strokes. If he pockets i any ball out of order, 1t costs him three l strokes.
 If the cue ball gets into brook or l the pond you must then put it half way 1 between the pocket you are shooting | for and the object ball.
