which may be found almost anywhere
in parks, cemeteries and private
grounds. 1t helps to spread the black
stem rust of wheat and other cereals,
which is perhaps the most destruct-
i've of plant diseases that attack
growing wheat.
Wherever this destructive enemy,
the common barberry, can be found.
it ought to be dug up and destroyed
at sunrise" says /. E. Melhus of the
Iowa agricultural experiment station,
who is cooperating in organizing a
campaign through the midwest
against black stem rust. This shrub
plays a most important part in the
development and distribution OF the
black stem rust fungus. In one stage
of its existence the rust lives on the
barberry bush and from there 1t is
scattered to the grain fields. Ii the
barberry can be eradicated, much
will have been done to hold black
stem rust in check. This has been
proved by the experience of Den
mark and other countries which have
legislated against the barberry bush
in order to control rust
The common or European barberry
can be readily distinguished from the
Japanese barberry, which is not
harmful. The common barberry
grows to a height of to s feet and
bears three-pointed thorns an its
stems. The Japanese barberry is
smaller and has single pointed
thorns. There are plenty OF good
hedge plants, so that the common
barberry is not essential in any
sense. Every community is urged to
do two things: To plant no new COM
mon barberry and TO dig up and de-
stroy all growing barberry bushes
within the next thirty days.

Deep-Seated Disease That Can.
not Be Reached by Local
Treatment.

When you hawk and spit until you
almost strangle in an effort to get
your breath, because your air-pas-
sages are all choked up with Catarrh,
and your condition grows worse from
day to day, you are about ready to
realize that Catarrh is by no means a
simple ailment.
If you have had the disease for any
length of time, you have doubtless
used enough treatment to convince
you that you will not be able to find
any lasting relief from the remedies
that are so generally relied upon.
Others who have been afflicted with
Catarrh have used atomizers and
sprays, ointments, salves, jellies and
other local applications by the whole
sale, without making the slightest
progress toward cure.
You are doomed to the same disap-
pointment, if you rely upon the same
misdirected methods of treating this
disease, for Catarrh is too stubborn
and deep-seated to be reached by
medicated applications which are ap-
piled only to the surface.

Jim Mecormick's Death Recently Has
Set Baseball Scribes and
Historians to
Figuring.
BROOKLYN PLAYER FIRST
Candy Cummings Credited With Be-
ing First Pitcher Of Any Promi-
hence to Use Curve With
Success.

! When Jim Mccormick, the veteran
pitcher. died recently. much specula-
ton arose among those writer's who
make their living from baseball. as to
who first used the curve ball. Every
scribe of importance has had articles
in the press recently and many OF
them have given Mccormick the
credit with being the originator, but
it is hardly probable. He Is quoted as
saying that the first time he ever no
ticed the tendency OF ball to curve
from the pitchers box was when he
was watching a game between two
colored teams.
Some writer's give the credit to Joe
Mann, a former Princeton pitcher.
with quite reputation. but nearly all
agreed that the first man OF any
prominence TO use the curve was Can
dy Cummings who was pitcher on
the old Brooklyn Stars. 1t is known
that the curved ball was used first in
the early eighties. Just why it had
never been put to use before has not
: been stated and seems to be one OF
baseball's mysteries for it is harder to
throw a ball without curving it than
to throw a curve. The same principle
applies to batted balls for there are
but a few balls hit that do not curve
perceptibly The ability to Judge the
curve Of a batted ball has cost some
good felders lot of worry.
Mccormick, however. was one OF
the greatest of the old time hurlers
and has a record of sixteen straight
victories in the box. His greatest
contest was in 1880 when he waG
pitching for Cleveland. In a game be-
tween Cleveland and Worcester, j. Lee
Richmond, the Worcester pitcher. held
the Cleveland team to no hits and no
runs and not a man reached first. Nc
Cormick held the Worcester team to
three hits and one run. 1t was the
first game of its kind in professional
baseball.

Noted Baseball Writer Declares That
Pennant Race Can be Doped
With Much
Accuracy.
TAKE TIME AND PENCILS
Declares it viii be Harder to Predict
the Outcome This Year Than
Ever. Because Of
the War;

Baseball is purely mathematical
d So declares Hugh S. Fullerton, the
well known baseball writer and dope
h ster. Mr. Fullerton claims that the
man who invented the game figured
y out just how fast man could run
ninety feet after hitting a ball and
4 how fast the ball would travel to the
felders all of which is no small feat
i when it comes to figuring. He also
says that the inventor fixed the dis
lance on the theory that If every play
er moves, runs and fields perfectly.
that the ball and the player would
reach the base at the same time That
the Inventor of the national pastime
had some head on him will not be
questioned, but what will cause some
inquiry is how he came to impart the
findings of years research to Mr.. Full
lerton and left the scores of other
good baseball writer's in the lurch
In doping out a pennant race Full
lerton takes the performances of each
man in the league and figures that
what they have done in past perform
ances they will do that season Fewer
then two per cent of them will show
much improvement and not more than
three per cent will go back enough to
affect their teams chances in the race.
Given the players and their records
he figures that the dopester should be
able to figure out what they would do
when assem- bled into teams. He main
tains that grading baseball players
can be done much more accurately
than grading school children or civil
service candidates and far more accur-
ately than doping horse races for the
chances of mishaps are much less
than in baseball
Fullerton Is ready to admit that this
year viii be hard one to dope out
because Of SO many OF the major
players being called 10 war In max
ing cut his sheets for this year he has
deducted the position value OF those
men already called from the chances
of the clubs they play with. His en-
tire system is based on the fact that
the offensive and defensive powers OF
the teams are not equal and on the
figures of the actual performances OF
the players. He says that it is not
a complex system at all Perhaps Mr..
Fullerton is right and then again he
may be all wrong II he is right there
will be many fan who is figuring op
making a few bets this year. offer to
slip the scribe nice piece of change
for some of HIS dope in advance.
