Here's anothey baseball league that I

Here's anothey baseball league that has been hit. It's the 2O5th Field Artillery league, som ewhere in France" Tn making the announce ment ''The Range Finder" that organizations official paper, states:
 lowing to the intensive training, the eagerness of the men to get all the knowledge they can and the lack of time, this paper regrets to advise that the remainder of the games scheduled have been temporarily postponed.
 We hope however, in the near flu ture to finish the schedule. The games so far played showed that this regi- ment is chock full of pep, ball play CTS and francs, the latter being just a little stronger. This paper awaits the day, as it believes most of the boys do when it will be possible to complete the balance of the games to be played"
 Let's hope they play them in Berlin.
 Sir Iris Speaker and the rest of the Cleveland Indians will pitch their wig wam for a three day stop at Fenway Park today
 Victor Linart, the Belgian is riding q these days and is anvious to meet Vim cent Maronna in a match race again. There's bad medicine' between this pair and Linart wants to get back at the Italian for the defeat he handed him in their previous set-to.
 Clarence Carman, the bike star, will probably make his last appearance behind the motors in the American champ pionship race at Revere tonight until the end of the war Carman is enrolled in the aviation corps and ex- poets to start flying within a week or so. If Clarence can perform in the air as vel as he could behind the
 "choo-choos' then it's good night Germany.
 The last time the Red Sox tackled !, Cleveland was two weeks ago. They met in a four-game series in the Ohio State. Cleveland won three of the games and Boston won one. Co., veleskie won two, defeating Mays s to and Bush to 0. Ragbv beat Jones , to 1. The Red Sox had to hustle for the one game they won, Babe Ruth winning from Morton, 9 to I, only after going 12 innings. It wes indeed sorry showing that Barrow's men made against the Fohls out in Cleveland q fortnight ago, for
 had the SoX hoen able TO take the se- ries from Cleveland the pennant race would have hy this time been ron ceded to the Boston club. It is impera- tive that the SoX take at least two Of the three games in the series opening today at the Fens. Should the elan of ] Barrow fail. Cleveland would un- doubtedlv be the favortte with Wash 1 ington a dangerous proposition for ] Lee Fohrs men to beat out.

SUNSHINE MORE
 THAN RAIN NEEDED For hsns 0ardens--No Gall to Do Any Watering Just ksW.

The following directions fer water ing the home gardens were prepared by DF. E. II. Jenkins of the Connecti- cut experiment station at the request of the. home gardens department of the Connecticut committee of food supply:
 "Just now our gardens need sun light more than rain. But probably durins the summer watering wili be very desirable. Our crops are ot- tener cut short by lack of water than by lack Of fertilizers. Be ready for 8 ."dry speir' especially abundsatiy, and as soon as the sur face is dry, stir t to the depth ot an iBch OF two and wait until the soil is quite dry before watering again"
 Breathing Time Needed. Give your land time to breathe between drinks. To water beds use a fine sprinkler and move il along so that the soil drinks. all the water and no puddies on the sur face. Go over. tho bed repeatedly until pudding happens almost ai soon as water is pat on and tkef stop. Stirring the surface After il had dried is almost, as important as watering, for it keeps the wats, from quickly exaporatiflg,
 You can sec at your hrealfas table how the loose dry earth OH tn, l surface Linaers loss hy evaporation. Put a aquare lump of sugar in you l teaspoon, cover the lurap loosely witl powdered sugar, and hold the spoN. | where the black coffee in your eul 1 touches the lower edge of the lump See how 'tt's, l.quid quickly rise through the compact lump but does no come through tine loose sugar or top 1 Then pat down the loose sugar an. see how much more quickly the coe
 fee comes through it."
 Keep CuItiyater Going.
 Call the compact lump the frn
 soil of your garden, full Of fin
 capillary tubes which lift the so! ] water quickly. Call the loose powder
 ed sugar the fine dirt mulch made b
 the cult:vator. which flinders the SO water from coming to the surfac l where the wind and heat would quick
 ly steal it from your crop. Plating tn
 loose sugar is the patteFing shove
 which spells the mulch. To hold tn
 soiI moisture and to kill tho weeds l keep the cultivation goins. Unless tn cultivator follows, light shower ma
 do more harm than good because pats down the soil and destroys th protecting mulch. In dry weathe makes the mulch one or two inchc deep."
