Mr.. E. F. Murphy, Civic Gardener,
Care of Palladium.
The lower leaves on my tomato
plants are dying and there are small
brown spots on them. / notice some
green and some brown plant lice on
the leaves. Are these insects the
cause of the leaves dying and can you
tell me what to do to exterminate
them *. D. w.
Answer: The plant lice are not
causing the leaves to die. Tomato leaf
spot is fungus disease which causes
these lower leaves to have small
brown spots and die. Later in the
season more of the leaves will die, the
disease progressing upward on the
plant, and the plant will become SO
weakened that the fruit on the lower
portion of the plant will become ex-

Hod EIIer Refuses to Let

While the Cincinnati Reds were en-
gagged in their series with the Brook
lvn Dodgers last week, and stopping
on the Manhattan side of the river,
Pitcher Hod Eller of Matty's staH
went out to see the sights OF the big
town. He was standing peaceably on
the sidewalk, looking up at the high
buildings, when along came soldier
in khaki and told him to move on.
"Why should l move on!" asked
Eller, you're no policeman, anyway.
lust for that the soldier hit Eller
on the shins with his gun, bayonet
! and all. 80.
Ellcr hit the soldier on the eye with
his fist, and a policeman, one OF the
kind that still rule in New York, even
# the country is at war, arrested them
both. In court the judge asked how
it happened. ,.

away from that corner because ne ex-
pccted trouble arresting his man: Elier

Bill Fischer, Ex-Federal. ,
Is SIuqqinq the Pill HARD

Bill Fischer, the large ex-fea
catcher has been pounding the ball
in a wav to cheer Jimmy Callahan,
Pirate manager. With plenty OF other
worries over the Pirates poor start
this season Callahan is happy to have
something to be cheerful about.
Several seasons ago Fischer was a
recruit with Joe Tinkers Chicago
Whales and made a good showing in
the Federal league. A showing in the
Federal league isn't quite the same as
a good pace in the big show and
Fischer has shown a great improve
ment in every department OF his work
since joining the Pirates:
His heavy clouting so far this year
has been the best of his performing.
although he has been catching most OF
the games and displaying fawless
form behind the bat. With young
Chuck Ward, who is trying to fill
Wagner's shoes at short, Fischer has
been doing most of the team c.out-
ing. Carey, Schultz and Hinchman
have done more slumping than any
thing else so far and without Ward
and Fischer the team would have been
in even sadder straights. Callahan be-
lieves that Fischer will keep up the
clip he has set all through the season
and that he will show himself to be
one of the best young catchers to
come into fast company for several
seasons. The Pirates obtaired Fischer
from the Cubs last summer.

STATE GOLF PLAY
TO Be CALLED OFF
Thirteen Of Twenty-Five Direc-
tors Vote in Favor of Aban-
doning Event on Account
of the War.

The Nebraska state golf tourna-
mcnt, scheduled for Lincoln in July,
probably will be called off, according
to w. E. Shafer, secretary of the state
association.
A week ago John Redick suggested
the tourney be called off or changed
to patriotic event of some kind. Mr..
Shafer took it up with President S.
R. McKelvie. who agreed. The Sec
retary then sent letters to the tweny-
FIVE directors of the association, ask
ing their opinions. OF fifteen replies
received up to yesterday, thirteen
were in favor OF calling the tourna-
ment off.
AS thirteen make up a majority of
the directors, Mr.. Shafer believes the
event will be cancelled. He first will
consult with President McKelvie,

Fielder Jones Says Cobb
Is Greatest PLAYER Of All

Ty Cobb has no more ardent ad-
mirer than Fielder Jones, manager of
the Browns. Jones believes that there
never was another ball player that
could think so fast as the Georgia
Gem. He credits Ty with being one
of the keenest students OF the game
that ever lived.
Il preach Ty Cobb to my ball play
ers day in and day out" said Fielder
in discussing the Detroit star. Every
time we have meeting or I get a
few of the boys together l hold him
up as an example of what quick think
ing and intelligence will do for a
man.
Nobody knows any more base ball
than Cobb and nobody learns more by
experience than he. Every day and
all day he is picking up new wrinkles
about the old pastime. The trouble
with the average ball player is that
his work is largely mechanical. He
goes out and plays the same style of
game day after day and fails to OBJ
serve what is going on around him.
II he has weakness instead OF
studying himself and the opponent he
just takes it for granted that he will
always have this particular fault and
makes no effort to correct it.
One of these days hope to get
Ty Cobb in room for a good talk
on base ball. 1t will be a treat to me
if ! ever do this, for I will learn more
from him in an hour than | could
learn from the rest of the players in
a year. That fellow has more good
dope in his head than anybody else
in the game and it will be worth a lot
to get hold Of him and have him give
me some of it. When it comes to
brainy base ball Ty is absolutely in
a class by himself"
Coming from mani that is ac-
knowledged generally to be one of the
greatest base ball strategists that ever
lived, this is real praise.

Pittsburgh Club Ships
Warner to WiIkeSbarre

The Pittsburgh club has released
lnhelder Hoke Warner to the Wilkes
barre club of the New York State
league. Warner was a rank failure
both as hitter and fielder. His case
recalls an interesting story. A Pitts
burgh scout, it is said, went to Dayton
to look this player over. After report
had been made on observations and
deal closed by which $4,000 was to be
paid for his release, the officials of the
Dayton club were somewhat inter-
ested to get this message from Pitts
burgh: Can Warner hit left-handed

thing like this: Didn't you find out
before you bought him?"

Jim Walsh Finds Ideal Fishing
Grounds Only $500 Miles Away

Twenty-Five hundred miles is some
distance to travel on fishing trip,
but James Walsh of Benson, well
known in Douglas county political
circles and enthusiastic angler, has
discovered a fishing location that
makes the long journey more than
worth while, he says.
The distant location is at the mouth
of the Campbell river, sixty miles
from Victoria, B. c.. The river is
loaded with gamey salmon, Walsh de-
clares, and the disciple Of Isaak Wal
ton who once trolls this stream will
never be content to dip his rod into
other waters. ITS the best fishing
place in North America Walsh de-
clares.
The latter part OF July and August
is the best time for the fishing, but
the call of the salmon got firm hold
on the Benson man two months

Swede Henderson and Lee Scott,
Floyd Paynter, captain of the Central
High track team, has gone to Mon
tello, New, where he has taken a job
on farm owned by the Utah Con-

Paynter was one of the most versa
tile athletes ever turned out at Central

eleven three years, played basket ball
and was a. cinder path wizard. He
was captain of the basket ball quintet
in his sophomore year in school and
captain of the track team this year.

earlier this year and he couldn't resist
the temptation to go. He left for
Victoria last week.
Walsh declares that in order to cap
ture the fighting salmon of the Camp
bell river it is necessary to use a
short stiff pole about ten feet long
and reel that will hold not less than
900 yards of line because oftentimes
when less line is used the large tyee
salmon will run cut and break the line.
Heavy sinkers and very large spoons
are used.
On one OF his excursions. the
Campbell river Walsh caught three
Sees weighing forty-one, forty-hve
and fifty-eight pounds, respectively.
Many tyees, he says, weighing from
thirty to fifty pounds have been caught
in the Campbell, while cahoes weigh
ing from ten to twenty pounds are
plentiful.
