Peter Stevens Hangs Up
New Record at Byberry

Philadelphia, Sept. 4.-Peter
Stevens set new track record for
Byberry at the opening day races OF
the Philadelphia County Fair yes
terday by negotiating the mile in
2:06A. lowering the former mark
by one full second. 1t was a fine
day for racing and the great gath
ering was treated to some close con-
tests.
Eddie McGrath landed Wade La
conda a winner in straight heats in
the 2.15 pace, with Queen Hal a
close second. Queen Hal did not
seem able to keep on a pace.
Willie Worthy won the first heat
of the 2.14 trot, but was unsteady
and had to give way to Moho, which
won in drive from Zombro Rex in
one, two, three order.
1t was a split-heat race in the 2.24
trot, which required five heats to
decide the event. Burk Todd won
the first two heats in easy fashion,
but made disastrous break in the
third, which virtually cost him the
race, as DIR. H, a big bay gelding
from Gettysburg, had lots of speed
and won the race in a driving finish.

Lands Blue Ridge Flag

Hagerstown, Nd, Sept. 4.-With
a huge crowd of home town fans
cheering them on, Hagerstown won
the Blue Ridge League pennant yes
terday by beating Gettysburg morn
ing and afternoon.
Hagerstown virtually had the title
won a week ago, but it was prob
lematical for them to lose out. How
ever, to-day's twin victory clinched
their right to the championship. 1t
was the closing game of the league.
Hagerstowni won the pennant
through gameness and agressiveness.
Early in the season Martinsburg had
huge lead and appeared to have
the field outclassed, but the West
Nirginians started slipping a little,
while Hagerstown put on extra speed
and cut down Martinsburg's lead by
degrees, and finally got within
shooting distance.
Gettysburg fought hard, but was
beaten by better team. The scores
were to in the morning and 2
to in the afternoon.

Washington, D. C.-Don't watch
the moon for signs of the first frost;
watch the Weather Bureau. And
when the warning from the forecas-
Ter comes, as 1t usually will from "a
10 As hours in advance, look to the
protection of the garden produce
which is not yet under cover. There
are a number of ways to forestall
the surprise attacks of this Jack
Frost person and representatives of
the United States Weather Bureau,
realizing that a good deal more pro-
luce will be subject to loss from
Frost this fall than ever before, have
Pdvised early preparedness on the
part of farmers.
First, the specialists suggest, pro-
ective coverings should be made
ready. Vegetables can not scamper
o cover but the gardener can scamp
pr covering to the vegetables and
perhaps save a winters supply in 4
short time if he is prepared. Old
blankets, tarpaulins, sacks, straw,
manure, paper and various other
materials may be used for covering.
rhe conditions favorable for the for
nation of early frost in fall are us
lally of short duration and conse-
luently protection measures ordin-
zirily will have to be employed only
or a day or two. After the first
s all frost there is generally a return
o normal temperatures for a num-
per of days, possibly for a week or
more. during which time immature
Vegetables that have been protected
will continue'to grow or ripen.
When frost is imminent and pro-
ection is not possible or practic-
lble, vegetables likely to be injured
should be gathered and canned, dri-
I'd, picked, preserved or stored.
Those that can not be saved from
Exposure to freezing should, if pos
;ible, be gathered before thawinG
axes place. In the case of potatoes,
Especially sweet potatoes, all vines
should be cut off at the surface of
he ground after the occurrence of
FROST
Tomatoes may be pulled up, plants
nd all. and hung tops downward
n a dark place, preferably a cellar.
kVhen treated in this way the fruit
will ripen nicely and slowly and will
pc available for table use for a long
ime after the plants have been re-
moved from the soil. Fruit that is
cry immature should be removed
rom the vines and may be used
or picking or in other ways. If fa-
ilities for hanging the vines are lack
ng, the tomatoes nearing full growth
will ripen satisfactorily if wrapped
separately in paper and stored in a
zlark place.
Many vegetables such as cabbage
md turnips are not harmed by or
linary frost and need no special pro-
ection. In fact, such root vegeta-
Dles as carrots, parsnips and satisfy
ire improved by freezing and are
Nustomarily left in the ground until
