possible by the addition of consid-

BALLPLAYERS ARE
 VERY SCRAPPY lOT
(By United Press)


 NEW YORK, April IS. - Ty Cobbs outburst for freedom in spikes, perpe trated in Dallas, Texas, with Charley Herzog the goat is sufficient to lead any one to wonder why it is that near ly every great star in baseball has participated in many bursts of tenn per, many times ending in fist exhi- bitions.
 Cobb himself has had innumerable episodes of temper, and many times they have developed into blows. The occasion of the butcher nearly put Ty out of baseball for a season, and there was a time when he clambered into a grandstand to take up the issue with spectators.
 Herzog is a scrappy individual and a star. Heinie Zimmerman is always eager to argue with some one - and he is a star Joe Wood has had his first experiences. John McGraw was fighter, and fast one. Johnny Ev- CTS has encountered trouble in his baseball days more times than any one ever has set down on paper.
 It apears that the unchecked spirit that carries men to heights in base ball effort is just as likely to lead them to needless effort when an argument presents itself. That pro- bably explains why Herzog and Cobb mixed.
 Cobb has confessed he Intentionally spiked the Giants second sacker. There undoubtedly was a reason for that, and when Herzog grappled with the Georgian and they went to the Texas sand in rough and tumble ex hibition, it was evident the fires had been smouldering.
 It was a queer thing that each par ticipant in this melee was playing un der orders of two of baseball's scrap piest managers, John McGraw him self has probably gone through more pugilistic capers on the diamond thar any man in the game, and Hugh Jen nings was baseball player of some ability with his fists. Both were mem bers of the old Baltimore Orioles, { club that learned fighting almost al soon as it did baseball.

GARDENING TIME |S CLOSE AT

(By United Press)

WASHINGTON, April IS. - When the back yard garden is ready for spading, the first thing to do is ex- anime the soil - first it's chemical condition, then for it's planting condi- tion. Soil of the average city back yard may not be very good for the pur- pose of planting vegetables with a view to cutting the cost of living,
 In the spring, as soon as the soil has dried, grasp a handful of 1t and if 1t will slowly fall apart it is in fit con dition to prepare for planting. Never work clay or heavy soils while wet.
 Soils which are naturally moist are sour and as a result are not in the best condition for planting.
 Whether sour or not it will be we'll to test the soil. A piece of blue litmus paper should be obtained from a drug store. Take a handful of the soil slightly moistened and place the paper on it. The paper will turn red if the soil is sour.
 If this condition is shown it can be corrected with a little lime. Cover the ground with a thin coat of air slaked lime, which can be obtained at little cost Work this in well.
 Clayey or stiff clay loam, where se- were freezing has occurred, will be in a much better condition if it has been given a good dressing of manure in the fall
 Do not be too quick to get into the garden work. Some of the overzealous seize the first warm spell as the op- portunity and work heavy clay soil before it is dry. They waste energy and do harm to the soil, from which it will not recover in a long time.
 Timeliness is big item in garden ing, and the thing to do is to have everything ready when the right time comes. Fresh vegetables are very desirable and those from the back yard garden are not subjected to ex posture and transportation. Then, too home grown products are free from infection.
 Another point is that many garden products lose flavor between the time they leave the farm and reach the city table This is avoided in the home grown garden. It is not desirable tc start things before danger of late frosts is over.

SPORTS Gossip About Events of National Importance and the Persons Who Are In the Head
 Liner Glasses.
(By Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO. April IS. - Par ticular attention will be paid this year by the various tennis clubs in the Northwest district to the junior events. This Is said to be the first time that organized effort has been made in behalf of the younger players in the Pacific Northwest.
 The plan now is to hold junior championships and boys champion ships in each one of the tennis cen ters in the Pacific Northwest, notably Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Spokane and Lewiston. Any boy is eligible to enter the junior championship who will not be 19 years old before Oc- tober 1, and the age limit provided for in the boys events will be Is years. The winners of these two events will hold the championship for each district in which he plays.
 Plans are on foot to have an inde- pendent meet of the various cham pions so that there may be a playoff, thus determining who Is to be the champion for the entire district.
 The boys winning the junior cham pionships will be sent at the expense of the clubs in which they are repre- resented, and it is intended to send the Pacific Northwest champion to the national meet, which is held August 30 in the east. The eastern national tournament is held at the same time as the national championship.
 The dates of the championship have not yet been assigned. The prelimin- ary events probably will be played off early in the summer, preferably as soon as high school duties are dis posed of. The independent playoff will probably take place early in Aug. ust, so that if the champion desires to go east so as to have ten days or two weeks play on the eastern courts he may have the opportunity to do SO

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY.

Now that the watchword ol the nation Is Conservation" along all lines 1t would be well for the housewives to exercise all their ingenuity i'll practiclng economy throughout the house The waste in American home. is enormous. t has been estimated that in, average American family wastes sufficient food each year to nearly supply the food needs of the suffering Belgians in the same period of time Recently in a statement is sued at the White House 1t was stated that American women could show their patrio- tism in no more appropriate way than in studying methods of eliminating all waste and in using more care in the use and COnServa- tion of all kinds of household supplies
 Heretofore there has been no great ne cessity for any extra care in saving some supplies, since they have been so abundant that for the slight difference in the cost of saving the surplus and purchasing new arti- ces as the occasion demanded did not justi- fy the trouble that it required to effect the saving. But with every pound of food sup plies actually needed in order to make them go all round, the saving must be effected.
 There is no doubt that the American housewife will meet the situation with her usual resourcefulness. History of past emcr- Se1lCleS proves tlldl Sne mas never 1dle0 10 do more than her part when called on and the type of American Womanhood today is higher than ever before. Already special study is being given to the question of con servation, and many Women's organizations are devoting their entire time and talent to a satisfactory solution of the problem.
 In order to get satisfactory results ev- cry housewife should have a fair knowledge of food values so that cheaper food can be substituted for more expensive articles, and without loss of nutrition The cheapest food in all cases is the one that gives the most nutrlment at the least cost. Special methods of food preparation are also coming in for a great amount of consideration, since poor preparation destroys food values Spc- Cial care should also be exercised in the pres ervation of all food that comes into the house. Every dollar saved in food supplies means that much more food for the needy of our allies in the war with Germany, and is a big blow in the battle for democracy against German bureaucracy.
