the amateur to try to bud or graft his own trees, because pecan trees are more difficult to propagate than the average fruit tree. One should not plant pecan seed and expect the trees which they produce to bear nuts like the ones planted. At the South Car oltna Experiment Station about 50 nuts from a single pecan tree were planted and not one of the trees grown from these nuts bear fruit like the original tree. As a rule the seed ling trees are far inferior to the budded or grafted ones.
 How to Plant Pecan Trees.
 The distance apart to plant the trees depends upon the kind of soil upon which they are to be grown. On the thinner soils from 45 to 50 feet apart each way may not be too close, but on the rich lands they should not be planted closer than 65 to 70 feet each way. If planted 65 feet each way it will require only about ten trees to plant an acre, or twelve trees if planted 60 feet apart Since there are only few trees for each acre, one should use every care to see that the trees are planted just right. Each tree that dies means one-tenth of an acre to plant over.
 How to Care for Pecan Trees.
 Pecan orchards should be kept cri- tivated, and for the first few years of their growth the orchard may be in- tereropped, using truck crops or any of the farm crops that do not inter fere with the growth of the trees It should be remembered however, that 1t does not pay to get closer than four to five feet of the young trees with an intercrOp, and as the trees grow older the distance must be in- creased from the trees. The question is often asked how old pecan trees are before they begin to bear. Here no definite answer can be made, but usually a few nuts are borne in from for to five years after the trees are planted, provided trees are three 10 four years old when they are set. have known trees to reach an age Of ten to twelve years before beginning to bear The fact that it takes the trees so long to come into bearing is one of the principal reasons why the trees are not more generally planted It should be remembered, however, that after an orchard once reaches bearing age it is ordinarily good for a long period of years. Pecan trees seldom pay any profit until they are ten to twelve years old.
 Varieties to Plant.
 As to varieties, there are several that do well in our State4 The Van Denman, Stuart, Schley, Russell and Frochter are all good, and for safety In pollenizing, it may be well to plant several varieties in the same field.

Morgan is still a young man, being
about twenty-seyen years old, and
under ordinary conditions should
have several more years of baseball
ahead of him. But his ankles are none
too strong. Morgan is what is known
in athletics as "a big little man." He
is powerfully built above the waistline
and his ankles simply cannot support
his weight
Unless Morgan plays ball next
summer he will be physically unable
to in 1920, for he fieshes up fast
Usually he has had to work like a
slave at the training camp, taking
of weight To his credit be 1t said
that he never shirked the necessary
labor to attain this end. II he had to
slave, he shaved, without murmur OF
discomfort. Indeed, his laugh was in
fectious at the training camp, and his
mates will miss him next spring.
MeAIeer Got Him.
Jimmy McAleer brought Morgan to
Washington from DanviIle in the Vir-
ginia league in midseason of 1911.
The youngster had been playing
shortstop for DanviIle in fine style,
but was tried out at third base here
when Kid EIberfeld replaced Cum
ningham at second His high tenor
voice and his fresh, boyish com
pIexion earned for him the nickname
of "Cutey." and many fans still
know him as such.
When Clark Griffith arrived in
1912, Morgan was shifted to second
base, Eddie Foster being interned on
third. Griffith took a liking TO Nor
gan at once, probably because OF his
light heartedness and his undoubted
gameness on the field and of it. There
was nothing namby pamby about
Morgan.
During that victorious season OF
1912, when the GriffS had their great
winning streak and came within a
few games of winning the pennant,
Morgan was at his best. He lived on
that reputation for years after.
Played Well In 1913.
Morgan played his best baseball for
Washington in 1913. hitting for .272
in 1877 games at second base. The
following year he played 14T games,
hitting for .257. Then his legs began
to weaken, and participating in 4
motor car accident in the wee hours
OF the morning on the Baltimore pike
kept Morgan out of many games. He
never was the same after that. Here
is his Washington record:

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-"If a mil
lion dollars will make the Yankees
a pennant winner, I'm willing to
spend that million. New York sim
ply must have an American League
champion" says Colonel Rupert,
president Of the club. He has given
Miller Huggins carte blanche. The
little fellow can have all the money
he needs to strengthen the Yanks,
and he is now headed for Chicago
to obtain the services Of Oscar
Felsch.
Felsch, who ranks with Duffy
Lewis. tie newest of the Yankee out
fielders, quit the White Sox last
summer after a series of Quarrels
with Clarence Rowland. Some say
that the jumping OF FeIsch in mid
season will yet cause the dropping OF
Rowland as Comiskey's manager.
Coming when it did, in war time,
Felsch was placed in a wrong light
before the Chicago fans. He was
classed with the draft dodgers-Jack-
son, Lynn and Williams.
II Comiskey declines to listen to
talk for Felsch, Huggins is expected
to make an offer to Washington fo-
Bert shotton. Indeed. it is whisper
ed that Higgins wants Shotton any
way. An outfield consisting OF Duffy
Lewis in left. Happy" Felsch in cen
ter, and Bert Shotton in right, would
be about the fastest thing in the
American League.
Frank Baker. has announced his
retirement from baseball, but Colonel
Rupert, who has been corresponding
with the La Trappe farmer, says that

when the bell rings. The colonel isn't
worrying the least little bit about
Baker.

was far from popular during the past
four or five years. His statuesque
poses on the sidelines drew loud
laughs from the right field pavilion
and he was several times chased into

lieved he had robbed Washington o.

become accustomed to scenes lika
that.
OLouEhlln really believed in his
own infallibility. We had long heard
that said OF him and. while riding
across country one day, with

him about that story.
"I'm Never Wrong
That's right" replied OLouGhlin,
though he had a twinkle in his eye.
81 am never wrong when make =

my life"
Later on, after we had bawIed him
out for failure to get on top OF plays
in the field and dubbed him Rags
O'Loughlin was "off" us. refusing
even to talk on a telephone regard
ing official matters. And we didn't
blame him, either. Tommy Connolly
used to kid O'Loughlin about his
new name in Washington, usually
getting a rise out OF him with his
remarks

The Washington times., 1918-12-21

We we'll recall our first view of
the soon-to-be-famous silks" 1t
was in Boston at the old Huntingdon
avenue ball park. The fans seemed to
have quite as much fun mimicing his
'Stri-ike tub" as they did in watch
ing the ball game. His strutling
and posing on the lines, too, drew the
attention of all, and the newspapers
ran big pictures Of the new umpire.
And umpires, mind you, were not over
popular in those days. They were not
considered more than half human, to
tell the honest truth, and not one
OF them wrote for the newspapers, as
the gentlemanly Billy Evans does
now.
or course, even now umpires' lives
are filled with stirring events. but a
decision by OLoughlin at old Column
bia Park, in Philadelphia in 1901
swung a championship from the Ath-
Ietics to the Detroit Tigers and
earned for the umpire the hatred of
Philadelphia fans lasting for years
afterward.
Big Crowd Was There.
The 1907 pennant race was between
Philadelphia and Detroit and a game
in late September brought out a huge
crowd which overflowed upon the
outfieId. The Athletics needed but
one more victory to cinch their grip
on the pennant. Tied with one run
each. the teams battIed into extra
innings, the crowd being worked up
to perfect frenzy.
Harry Davis, a long hitter, came
up in one OF the extra innings and
hammered a skyscraper out to Sam
Crawford in right field. He was seen
to drop the ball. a base runner
crossed the plate and il looked as IL
the Mackmen had won, . to /, taking
the championship honors.
Greatly TO the surprise Of the fans.
Umpire OT.ouEhlin ruled that a po-
liceman had interfered with the catch
and called Davis out. retiring the
side. 4 riot was narrowly averted.
and finally the game was resumed
ending after seventeen innings, | to
l. The Tigers nosed out the Athletics
for the pennant, and OLoughlin was
blamed for it by Philadelphia fans.
Took Years to Forget.
II took years for the fans in Sleep
town TO forget that decision by
OLoughIin. Frequently he was
threatened with bcatinEs on leaving
the ball park and boots and yells
greeted his every appearance. But.
as in all such matters. the fans fl
nalIy forgot their hostility and dur
ing the past few years silk" led n
normal life at Shibe Park.
