MEMPHIS, Tenn. March a.
Griffith's tourists are not setting
the south afre with their hitting,
but they are getting the safeties
when needed, the result of this
today being a 4-to-1 victory over
Memphis
An even half-dozen wallops, the
same number as were garnered in
Birmingham yesterday, were all
they could amass off the two
amateurs and one regular pitcher
that Mike Donlin sent in against
the Washington club, but only
three of these were needed, two
'opportune singles by Milan and
one by Elmer Smith, together
with the generosity of the Mem
phis moundsmen and some woozy
work behind them, spelling de-
feat for the Chicks.
Molly Craft and Claude Thomas JUS
tined the confidence Manager Griffith
reposes in them by letting the natives
down with five hits. Two of these
were punched off Craft, who. however.
would have escaped without being
scored on had a base on balls not pre-
ceded them. Although Thomas kept
scattered the three hits made off him
in the five innings he worked. he was
threatened upon several occasions,
twice by errors. two of which he
made himself. Two of the hits made
or Thomas were doubles, but there
were two out each time and he had no
difficulty disposing of the third man.
Milan's Hit Scores Runs.
Howard Shanks' single in the second
was wasted, but not so Milan's blow
in the third. Henry walked as start
er and was forced at second by Craft,
whose bunt had a little too much force
behind it. Leonard also drew pass.
Craft and he both advanced on Fosters
out, pitcher to first, and scored when
Milan drove the ball on line over
short.
Two more runs were chalked up in
the fifth for good measure. John Henry
got q swinging bunt down the third
base line and when Jameson, batting
for Craft. hit the ball directly at
Cruthers. q double play appeared to be
in order. Cruthers tagged Henry en-
route to second and whipped the ball to
first ahead of Jameson. but Donlin
dropped 1t. Jameson took second on
Leonard's infield out. Eddie Foster
drew a pass and then Milan unlimbered
his second judiciously timed single.
this one going to right field. Jameson
scored and when Doc Cook fumbled

A young fellow who has not long
been married, usually confides his
troubles to friend whose matrimonial
experience covers a period of twenty
years. 49,
One day the former remarked very
despondently: 81 said something to my
wife she didn't like, and she hasn't
spoken to me for two days."

claimed eagerly, "can you remember

Now comes the critical time wber
most people make the mistake of Al.
lowing their cherry trees to suffer r.,
the lack Of attention. The crop !,
harvested and they turn their atten.
ton to other things and neglect their
trees. You should by all means con.
tinue the careful watering of the trees
without any break until the proper
time for budding, and at least once
after they are budded, sometimes mora
depending upon the condition of thu
soil in retaining moisture, and also
the time Of budding.
Probably about the best time for
budding the cherry in this valley, Il
from the last of July to the last Of
August, depending upon the season.
Ordinarily August seems to be the
best month, providing the trees have
been kept in good growing condition
so the bark will slip readily.
If budded early in August, the raffa
or string which holds the bud in place,
will need to be cut as soon as the bud
has taken a good firm hold, but do
not hurry to cut it loose. If budded
late, it is sometimes unnecessary To
cut the raffia until the following spring
just before the growth begins, at the
same time cutting back the limb. In
cutting back the limb, it is good plan
to make two cuts at different times.
The first time, cut about an inch above
the bud, and then after the bud has
started some growth, cut back close to
the bud so the wound will heal over
and SO make good smooth limb.
When budding early in the season,
it is good plan at the time the rafis
is cut, to break the limb about half
way down, between the end of the
limb and the bud and just let it hang,
not cutting it off until the following
spring.
The above information is given with
the intention of being Of some help to
those who have already had their trees
budded or grated this last season
and for those who anticipate having
their trees budded the coming season.
In addition to my personal obser-
walton and practical experience in the
work, am indebted to the Pullman
Experiment Station of Washington,
the Oregon State College at Corvallis,
and to our local county horticultural
men for many practical suggestions

SUGGESTIONS FOR
The ORCHARD MAN
Nurseryman Gives Practical Ad-
vice on the Care of Trees that
Have Been Top Grated

The gratis should be watched very
carefully when young. There are
many different ways that the scions
may be knocked cut of place and so
fail to grow; the wind may cause the
limbs to rub against the scions, and if
any stock is allowed to roam around
in the orchard you may be sure that
they will knock out quite a number,
also in cultivating the orchard and
working around the trees. Insects
may work on the buds and eat them
entirely out, so you must keep a close
watch for them and go after them
with some spray.
Be sure to keep all succors out so
as not to interfere with the growth of
the scions. Irrigate the trees careful
ly as you would a young orchard the
first year. z....,..-s. .
The gratis should be headed back the
first season, probably about the. first
of July, as in this way you will stock
up the limbs, forcing out laterals, and
will also avoid the limbs being brok-
en- by winds and other causes. The
pruning of the gratis the first few
years should be similar to the hand
ling of young trees.
In most cases where two scions are
placed in large limb, there should
be but one allowed to grow, except in
certain cases they are left for couple
of years in order to help in callousing
over large wounds.
The time for grating is early in
the spring after the leaf buds begin
to push out, and may be successfully
grated quite late when the tree is in
full leaf. There must be good flow
Of sap before the grating is done or
the scion will dry out and die.
