WINTER SPRAYING FOR CURL
Disease Sufficiently Abundant In See
tons Of Missouri to Do Injury
to Peach Trees.

During last summer the college Of
agriculture at Columbia received Q
good many inquiries concerning dis
ease which was affecting the leaves
Of peach trees. Samples Of this dis
ease, examined by DR.. J. G. Whitten,
professor Of horticulture, showed that
the trouble was leaf curl. Observa.
lions on the part Of the men doing Ell.
tension work from the department Of
horticulture showed also that In few
sections of the state, leaf curl was suf-
ficlently abundant to do considerable
injury to peach trees.
Peach-leaf curl first makes Its ap-
pearance shortly after the blossoming
season Of the peach. The disease 70
caused by a fungus which grows In the
leaves. The affected part Of the leaf
has a thickened, pulled appearance
that is more or less curled or wrinklsd.
If the weather is cool particularly. .
reddish color is likely to occur along
the border Of some Of these pulled and
thickened areas. Injury to the leaves
Is likely to continue until some time
In June when the diseased portions,
for the most part, turn black, soft. and
badly-infected leaves drop.
1t is not feasible to check this leaf
curl during the summer, once II has
made its appearance on the leaves
To prevent its temperance the COM
ing spring, the tree should be sprayed
properly during the dormant season
this winter or in early spring. Lime
sulphur is the spray most commonly
used and II properly applied will o.
tirely prevent leaf curl.
In sections where San Jose scale Ct
lists the same spraying which should be
done fer the scale will also prevent
leaf curl. This spray consists Of one
part commercial lime-sulphur to eight
parts water. For San Jose scale and
for leaf curl combined 1t may be ap
piled to the trees In early winter after
they have become thoroughly dormant.
or In early spring just before the buds
of the tree start to grow. II no San
Jose scale is present In the orchard and
leaf curl alone Is to be sprayer for.
the lime-sulphur may be diluted to one
part Of the lime-sulphur to 10 gallons
Of water and put on In early spring,

GILROY HAS MADE
GREAT GRID RUNS

Johnny Gilroy, the neet-footed half
back OF the Georgetown University
team of last season, will not be with
the Hilltop collegians this year, as he
has answered the call to colors. Gilroy
was one of the fastest and most ag-
gressive half backs that the gridiron
game has ever seen.
In the record of famous long runs
Gilroy has hung up two, among those
caught from kickoff. Gilroy ranks
third in this division. having made an
S5-yard run from the kickoff againsl
the Eastern College team and followed
this up with 4 5S-yard against the
Albright team
Gilroy is credited with third position
in the long runs from scrimmage,
having made a 15-yard run from
scrimmage against the Eastern Col
lege team. while he is also credited
with a 75-yard- run from scrimmage
against the Albright team. Gilroy has
70-yard run to his credit from an
intercepted forward pass against the
Eastern College team.

New York, Sept. 9.-Cornell Uni

carrying out the recommendations

and Is arranging to give the men
the benefit of both physical train

Freshmen and sophomores at Cor

Big Three PASSING
UP half MILLION
This Amount Represents What Har-
ward, Yale and Princeton Will
Lose This Season.

New York, Sept. 9.-Half a million
dollars that Harvard, Yale and
Princeton could coax from the sport
ing public's bottomless pocket will be
left untouched this season. In dis
continuing varsity football for 1917.
the Big Three have automatically
left this cool $4,000 in circulation for
the worlds series or something else to
get.
Last year the Big Three, in playing
schedules totaling less than thirty
games. got $4,000 alone in football
receipts. A lot of II went back to
meet heavy gridiron expenses, but a
lot more of it stayed right in the
strong box, waiting to make up the
deficits registered by most of the 9TH
err college sports.
Football Is like the show business.
Money that is passed up at any given
performance never comes back, so
the $4,000 represents a dead loss.
Meanwhile, with nothing coming in,
certain fixed charges continue TO roll
up at Cambridge. New Haven and
Princeton.
Ahc bphttp lOOlDdu
and the salaries of the office forces
go merrily on. The athleteic treasur.
les pay the bills out of the surplus
that has been collected in previous
plutocratic years. But by the time
the Big Three are ready to resume
football there will doubtless be def
cts in all three treasures.
By the time football is once more
restored to good standing among al
the colleges, Harvard. Yale and
Princeton. in common with the Other
fellows. will have stable deficits &c
make up.
They have always kept athletic re,
ceipts and academic receipts separate
at these universities. possibly be-
cause the athletic income looked more
attractive than the tuition credit, 50
1t is not allowable to draw on the
general treasury to make up athletic
lesses.
One good football season will there
fore be required to put the Big Three
on firm financial basis again-just
one season. With the whole situation
clarified In such easy fashion as that,
1t isn't to be wondered at that Har-
ward and Yale and Princeton can af-
ford to follow their judgment and
withdraw from varsity football this
year.

CARROLL WILL HAVE
A MARATHON TEAM

Athletes from Carroll Institute have
always been the leading spirit in long
distance racing in this vicinity, and
even under war conditions this spirit
has not died. It is the intention OF
the old-timers at the Tenth street in
stitute to put a team in the field in
the long-distance hikes this season.
Danny Healy, who was captain Of
the Yellow and White runners during
the past season, will call a meeting
of the Carroll athletes within the
next few days and start work for the
season. Mike Lynch. who has gained
quite a reputation for his ability at
hiking the distances, claims that he
is through with the game, but it's
sure fact that Mike will be in line
the next time the marathoners start
in this vicinity. Bobby Williams,
Johnny Galliher and Johnny Camp
bell are anxious for the season to
start. and it is a sure bet when the
ell is made that Carroll will have a
fDss-country team out that will
hal its past reputation.

BASEBALL LEADERS
Slated FOR FLAGS
Giants and White Sox Almost Sure
to Be Opponents in World Series.

New York, Sept. a.-When the Giants
disposed Of the Phillies in their I'M
portant series last week they remover
the greatest obstacle from their pain
in the National League pennant, ana
they should have no trouble in mold
ing a commanding lead in the last
Western invasion, which begins Thurs
day. Before going West the Giants
play a short series In Boston and on
their return will wind up the season
An Philadelphia. After their present
series with Brooklyn the Giants VIII
be seen no more at the Polo Grounds
this year.
The Chicago White Sox now have a
wide enough margin of games in the
American League to assure Comiskey
club the pennant in the younger
league. and, unless serious accidents
happen, the world series, which be-
gins on October s, will see the Giants
and the White Sox in what promises
TO be the most interesting world
series that has been played for years.
The fact that it will be sectional
fight between the East and West will
add special interest in the series, for
there have been no championship
battles in the big series between the
East and West since the Athletics
broke up the great Chicago club ma
chine in 1910.
The plan Of playing two games In
each city will have to be adopted in
this series. After the first four games
the clubs will play alternately between
New York and Chicago. OF course
this is assuming that unforeseen events
will not arise to beat either New
York or Chicago out of the flags in
their respective leagues. According
TO the history of past pennant fights
it is not likely that either club can
be beaten.
The White sox are in an excellent
position to hold their advantage be-
cause they have only fifteen more
games to play. The pace at which
Rowland's team has been travelling
for the past few weeks indicate that
it will make a strong finish. The fact
that it will finish away from home
does not injure the chances.
The only games the White Sox have
to worry about at all are a few with
Detroit and Boston. The Sox will play
two more games with Detroit at home
before they start East. and as they
took five straight from the Tigers in
their last series they have little to
fear from that quarter. The Sox have
three games to play with Boston, but
the world champions have slipped so
badly of late that Chicago expects less
trouble than usual from Boston The
White Sox have shown remarkable
Improvement within the past few
weeks. and now that Eddie Collins
and Joe Jackson are pounding the ball
Boston's chances do not look encour-
aging.
While 1t Is unwise to take anything
for granted in baseball, as there are
so many events which may happen
to upset the present state Of affairs,
baseball sharps are assuming that the
championship battles will be between
the Giants and the White Sox.
