VENERABLES IN.

By LOUIS A. DOUGHER.

The Ancient and Honorable Society
of Diamond Heroes held a convention
at Georgia avenue yesterday. The
convention will continue for three
more days. 1t bids fair to meet with
entire success, too.
Prominent among those venerable
men present were silent" John Hum

Zeb Milan, Frank Schultz, and Ed

wings were those two kids of other
days, Clark c. Griffith and Miller

oldsters.
Ray Keating, resurrected from the
tall grass by the wholesale disappear
ance Of Yankee hurlers, tried his
elusive American Association stun on
the home boys and got away with II

Concerning Southpayvs.

For those who would foolishly
wager their war-earned coin on the
coming series for the worlds title,
let them consider this:
Fred Mitchell banks upon two OF
the greatest southpaw pitchers In the
game to stop the Boston Red Sox.
How strong are the Red Sox against
southpaws? Well, MoXie Harper
stands almost alone in the American
League. No other quite equals ois
class.
George Mogridge, an in-and-outer'

Vean Gregg. a fading veteran, took
the champions into camp three times.
Altogether. ten southpaw pitchers

ROYAL RIOTERS IN
RAGE AT JOHNSON

BOSTON, Aug. 30.-Red Sox fans,
thoroughly peeved over the summary
handling of worlds series details by
President B. B. Johnson. threaten to
boycott the games played at Fenway
Park in case the Cubs win two OF the
first three contests to be played at
the White Sox Park. The Royal
Rooters, an organization compared
in some respects to the Woodland
Bards, who follow and root for the
White Sox. are Laying or the big
series this year.
"Playing the first three in . row In
Chicago" says one member OF the
Royal Rooters, who has never yet
missed a worlds series game played
by the Red Sox or Braves, without
considering how the Boston fans feel
about 1t, may suit Ban Johnson, but
il won't suit Boston. For one, I'm
on the series.

games, IL necessary will be played In

fans. Boston knows how to handle

However. President johnson did
not select Chicago for the opening of
the series. Garry Hermann has Of

Control Leaf-Spot Of To-
natOeS.

Leaf-spot causes great losses in to-
matoes in the aggregate though the
individual may not notice his loss.
One never misses that he never has.
1t is. in fact, very important to
make plans now to control this dis
ease another season. Why not write
down the formula now? Ordinary
Bordeaux have not, as a rule, pre-
vented the loss in yield and quality
of fruit caused by the leaf-spot dis
ease of tomatoes, but when prepared
with the addition of rosin fish oil soap,
states the L. S. Department of Agri-
culture in a recent publication, they
give promise of satisfactorily control
ing the disease
In making this mixture the usual
solutions of lime and copper sulphate
should be prepared. Then the same
quantity of rosin fish oil soap should
be taken as was used of quick lime
(if prepared hydrated lime is used,
the weight of the soap should be
three fourth that of the lime). Place
in vessel and add enough water to
make as many gallons of the suspen-
sion as there were pounds of soap,
stirring well to avoid Jumps. This
is added to the regular Bordeaux
mixture while the lime and copper
sulphate solutions are being mixed at
the rate of three gallons to AZ gallons
of the Bordeaux. 1t should be pour
ed slowly in small stream and well
distributed throughout the entire
mixture. In view of the many diff
culties incident to securing supplies
for spring use it would be well to
purchase the hydraled lime, copper
sulphate, and rosin fish oil soap soon
now in order to be prepared when
needed next spraying season.

ANY MAN TO ANY MAN
Bv GERALD STANLEY LEE

| DO not know how other men feel about it. but find
it hard with all that is happening to the world today
to look small boy in the face.
When small boy looks trustnely up to me and
! see his world - the world he thinks he is going to
have. in his eyes, am afraid.
The look in his eyes of the world he thinks he is
going TO have cuts me to the quick.
have always felt | had an understanding with a
small boy before
But the last four years when he looks at me in that
old way and think of his world-the one see in his
eyes-he one had myself-the every small boy
has right to- see suddenly instead the one that IS
being left over for him by by all of u.s. the one he will
have to try to put up with have to live in have to be
man in. when you and have stopped trying.
Then when face the small boy want to 80 off
in wide high place alone and think and ask God |
want to go down into the city and isht-feht with my
money and with my hope so over the top with my
religion and then come back and face the small boy:
There are days during this struggle when my soul
is spent and all the world made OF iron and glass
and all these crowds of people fockins through the
streets who do not seem to care.
1t seems as if would not turn over my head to save
world to live in myself It does not matter about
me-and some days the people see so by almost
make me think it does not matter about them.
Then suddenly go by troops OF school children at
four o'clock pouring out into the streets. pouring
like fire. pouring like sunshine out into the streets!
1t is as The roll OF drums for the Liberty Loan!
want to ring great church bells to call people to
the Red Cross!
My rule for mans finding out just how much he
should subscribe to the Red Cross is this:
Put down your name and address on the blank
and leave the amount open to think. Then try going
past schoohouse about four o'clock when the children
are pouring out
Or in the evening when the house is quiet put
down your name and the best figure you dare on The
white paper
Then go upstairs minute and look in the crib
Then look at your blank when you come down
once more.
