Visitor in Washington.
In recent years apple growing in
West Virginia for the commercial mar
let has grown In leaps and bounds to
one Of the states most important in
dustries. Immense sums OF money
are invested in orchards in that state
And many fortunes have been made.

counties 1t is second to no other as a
source Of the wealth and prosperity OF
The people.
England is the principal export mar
ket for American apples, and to Eng
land goes most of the West Virginia
crop grown for commercial purposes.
How England became our principal ap-
pie market is an interesting story.
Vitoria was young and, though she
MAS queen, she was also woman,
and impressionable. Arthur Steven
son, who was then American minister
10 the court of st. James, gave her
home very beautiful apples-"Albe'
marie Pippins" they were, from then
Z Virginia orchard which is now locat-
Sd within West Virginia, and is a
large and a profitable property owned
BY q stock company.
So pleased was the queen that she
caused the import tax on apples to be
removed. From that time, exports
Of apples from the United States to
England increased rapidly. England
became, and has remained, the prin.
cipal export market for American ap.
pies.
Taking the United States as a
whole. there has been very little
planting Of apple trees since 1910.
Comparatively few young trees, there
lore, are coming into bearing at this
time. This is shown by an investiga-
ton Of the commercial apple industry
recently made by the United States
Department Of Agriculture. Indeed,
the largest single commercial apple.
producing section in the United States
has reached its maximum production,
and unless the planting rate increases
decline is to be expected.
That region is Western New York
which, early in the sixties, became and
hes since remained the center Of COM
uiercial apple production in the United
States. 1t has produced regularly

TEX RICHARD

Chicago, Feb. 23-Applications for insurance policies of s5o,oOO each for Jess Willard, worlds champion heavy weight puginst; Jack Dempsey, chaI- Ienger for the title, and Tex Rickard, promoter of the bout for next July 1. are under considerati ton by Lloyds in London, 1t was learned today. Rickard will pay the premiums CT the total of s15O, 900 of accident in surance to safeguard himself against possible financial loss.
 The insurance I want Is simply to protect me against any accident that might happen to prevent Willard or Dempsey from fighting Rlckard said.
 The applications were signed by Rickard in New York and forwarded q to London. A local agent of LIoyds said he had every reason to believe the insurance would be placed. The policies in the cases of Willard and Dempsey would run from March ] until after July 4, and for Rickard the policy would be for one year.

Career of Original Kid Mccoy n For
 gotten Chapter in Ring History.

Norman Selby was not the first man to fight under the ring name Of Kid Mccoy" The original Kid" was Charley Mccoy, a Philadelphia lad, who for a time was a strong con- tender for the leadership in the featherweight division.
 Thirty-seven years ago today Char ley Mccoy entered the ranks of the professionals, after having won the amateur featherweight championship of the country by defeating all com CTS. Mccoy had been one of Uncle Sam's sailors and put it all over the hundred-pounders of the navy. At the expiration of his service on the briny he was taken charge of by John Clarke, the famous Quaker City box ing instructor, and speedily defeated all the amateur featherweights of the city. Upon beginning his career as a fighter for money he went to New York. where Matt Grace the pro- prietor of a Bowery saloon, had a dance hall where fights were frequent ly pulled off. Grace had strong rivals for the patronage of the sporting fra ternity and welcomed the Kid" as a good drawing card. ''LoF' White, Frankie Williams and Charley Nor ton, all good men in their day, were among McCoy's opponents, and he showed up well a brainy and ter rife fighter until he tackled old John Barleycorn, who has the greatest punch of the whole pugilistic push Dissipation put an end to the ring career of the promising fighter, and the white plague" ended what booze had begun.

GIANTS WILL HAVE
 BATTING CHAMPIONS

New York. Feb. 24.---An odd feature of the coming of Hal Chase to New York is that the Giants now have three National league batting cham pions in it's infield---Zimmerma who won the batting crown in 1912; Doyle, who took the honors in 1915, and Chase, who won in 1916.
 Cincinnati also has three former champions, Sherwood Magee, 1910: Jake Daubert, 1913 and 1914, and Ed die Roush, 1917. Sfagee declared last week he has quit baseball, but may reconsider. Brooklyn has the 1918 title holder in Zack Wheat.
 All of which serves as a reminder that this is the birthday of the great Hans Wagner, who won the National league cha rnpionship in 1900 1903, 1904, 1906 1907. 1908. 1909 and 1911. Honus is 45 years old today. His birthday usually is the annual holiday of the Pittsburgh Hot Stove league. and
 practically every big man in baseball has helped honor Hans on these occa- sions Frequently some of the lead- ing characters in baseball have used i these dinners to make important an- nouncements bearing on the welfare of the sport. It Is assumed that the Hot Stove league again will feast the 1 grand old man" tonight.

BOSTON OBTAINS HOLKE IN TRADE

Boston, Feb. 24.-George ". Grant. owner of the Boston National league club, announced Saturday that he had obtained First Baseman Walter HOllle from Cincinnati. Boston gave in ex- change James Smith, a utility inffeld- CT. and a cash consideration.
 Smith came to Boston from the New York Nationals last spring in the deal that gave New York Doyle.
 Boston had to outbid Brooklyn in order to get Holke. The first base' man was acquired by Cincinnati sev- eral days ago in the deal which made Hal Chase a member of the Giants Holke will take the place of Ed Konetchy. the veteran, who will be traded.
 There Is some chance that Smith will be sent to Brooklyn to take the place of Billy Kopf. Kopf was sent by the Reds to Brooklyn in the recent deal for Daubert, but he announced imm ediately that he would not join Brooklyn and that he had retired from professional baseball. Brooklyn now claims another infielder from Cincinnati.

RUDOLPH MAY PITCH FOR THE
 GIANTS AGAIN

New York, Feb. 24-There Is possibility that Dick Rudolph of the Bronx, who for several years has been one of the stars on the pitching staff of the Boston Braves, may finally realize his ambition to play with the Giants again. Rudolph had a brief stay with the Giants several years ago when he was a rookie, and was farmed out to Toronto, from where he went to Boston.
 While Manager McGraw has given no intimation of his plans in this connection, it Is known that he would like to have Rudolph on his staff this year, and there Is no question but what the Bronx athlete would like to play here. While Rudolph has done well with the Boston club, he prefers to play in New York because he would be home half the season, whereas now he is away practically all of the five or six months. Ru- dolph has tried several times to make a connection here and at one time it was thought he would be landed by {. the Yankees. The deal fell through.
 McGraw Is facing more trouble with his pitching department this year than usual, and 1t is for that reason that he could make use Of Rudolph.
 Of six men who could be called his regulars. only three loom up as cerH tainties from the opening of the sea- son. They are Benton, Perritt and Barnes. Ferdinand Schupp will be on i hand again and says nis arm is in good shape again, but there will be | nothing certain in his case until he i has had a good trial. He may come | back as a wonder and repeat his per | fornlance of 1917, and he may not get into form at all Fred Toney vii
 not be available during the early par 1 of the season. While Rudolph ha; become veteran he should still be | valuable man. He is one of the req l smart pitchers.

Beginning of Career of Nick Ward,
 'YclIowest'' of Fighters

It was on this date in 1885 that Nick Ward defeated Harry Lockyer in twelve rounds in England. This bout is notable not only as marking the be- ginning of the pugilistic career of Nick Ward, the ''yellowest" fighter who ever aspired to championship hon ors. Nick was a brother of the game and lion hearted Jem Ward, who held the British title for many years, and of John Ward, also famous as a pug tHst of that day and age. Nick's defeat of Lockyer put him in line for higher game, but his battle with Sambo Sut- ton, a. negro, proved that he was a coward through and through. Nick had everything but courage, and he was giving one of the best displays of boxing ever witnessed when Sambo landed on his nose and brought the c1aret. Nick imme ediately laid down. Later he whipped Deaf Burke, and this put him him in the running again, although Burke at the time was on last legs. In battle with Ben Gaunt Nick's tactics of falling at every provocation so enraged Ben that he struck a foul blow, and Nick be- came champion. In a return match with Gaunt he quit so shamefully that his own brother. Jem, joined in hiss ing him.
