HoltyiIje Is Winner.

Holtville, Feb. 1.-THE third ard
fourth innings today proved to be
enough to win from the visiting I'M
perial team, as nine runs were an
nexed on three hits. The final score
was 10 to 2, Imperial finding it i'm
possible to do much with Ritter, who
was doing mound duty for the local
club. Imperial made five errors, which

home team. Daniels started for I'M

Brooklyn Park Chief Encourages Gull
 tivation of House Lots.
 Park Commissioner Raymond V. In gersoI of Brooklyn has announced that his department will award this year prizes aggregating $1OO for the best vegetable gardens developed in private house lots in the borough. Concerning the promotion of garden Ing in Brooklyn the commissioner said:
 'In the spring of 1914 the first chil- dren's gardens were opened on park property in Brooklyn. These have been extended each year until this sea- son individual plots will be cultivated and harvested by more than 1900 chil- dren. So many inquiries were made at these gardens for advice about back yard cultivation that last spring the department opened four model back yard gardens. This spring a fifth model garden will be started on the Myrtle avenue plaza of Fort Greene park.
 "As a result of last springs efforts, though no prizes were offered, 700 actual back yard gardens were plant ed. This year Park Commissioner h. gerson offers one prize of $25, one of S15, one of $1O and ten of s each in the hope that general interest will be further stimulated"

Two plans have been considered for the disposition of the land. One pro- yldrs for disposing of portions of 1t by sale to companies desiring factory lOca- ticus. The other is for the chamber to improve 1t with streets, sewers, pipe lines and tue like and then rent 1t on nincty-uiuc year leases to manufac- turers.

Had the legislature passed the con-

decision by the state supreme court
holding the anti-paralleling act of the
Georgia legislature to be unconstitu-

While the Louisville & Nashville,

base an appeal to the United States
