trench. Fill with soil, covering the
trees six to ten inches deeper than
they were in the nursery row.
Preparations for Planting. The
orchard soil should be fertile and
we'll drained. The best, location is
on a slope or hilltop. The planting
distance for peaches and plums is
1s to 20 feet apart, and apples and
pears 80 feet. Dig the hole large
enough to allow the roots ample
space without Growing. Cut the
bruised roots off and the long strag-
cling ones back to eight or ten
inches. Fill the bottom of the hole
with top soil and plant the tree one
inch deeper than it was in the nur-
sery row. Throw in top soil first
and pack firmly around the roots.
If fertilizer is used, mix thoroughly
with the soil. The same rule ap-
plies if barnyard manure is used,
only well rotted manure being ad-
visable to use. ',
Care After Setting. AS soon as
the trees are set out cut back the
top. Peaches and plums should be
headed 1S inches from the ground
and apples and pears IL inches.
Young trees require the best Of care
and cultivation. Practice frequent
cultivation during the summer and
plant catch crop in July or early
August. The best crop for this is
one to supply humus and nitrogen
to the soil. 1t is also advisable to
paint a cover crop for winter, this
being turned under in the early
spring. -:

CHAMPIONSHIP NEVER
WON BY FIVE TEAMS
Senators, Indians, Browns,
Yanks and Cards Yet to Win.
During Six Successive Years JUST
Ended No Club Has Repeated-ln
American League Four Clubs
Have Had Monopoly.

Pennant winning in the National
league appears to be moving in a cy-
Gle and if the Pirates and Cardinals
only could win the pennant races of
1920 and 1921 the circle would be
complete. During the six successive
seasons ending with the last CAM
paign no club has repeated as a pen
nant winner, and no team has man.
aged to win two pennants. The BOs-
ton Braves won in 1914 and the three
other eastern clubs carried off the
honors in the next three SeasOns-the
Phillies in 1915, the Dodgers in 1915
and the Giants in 1917. Last year tbs
pennant moved westward and went to
the Cubs Now the Reds have won
the honors, but it is doubtful that
either the Pirates or the Cardinals will
be able to add another link to the
chain that has been forged during the
last six years.
Pennant winning has been something
of a monopoly in the past, two or three
clubs taking most of the honors over
a long stretch of years. From 1890
to 1900. inclusive the Boston, Brook
lyn and Baltimore clubs did all the
pennant winning in the National
league. Boston won FIVE pennants,
while Baltimore and Brooklyn got
three apiece.
From 1901 to 1913, inclusive, the
Giants, Cubs and Pirates did all the
winning in the National league. The
giants won in 1904-5 and 1911-12-13,
,he Pirates in 1901-2-3 and 1909, and
Die Cubs winning in 1906-7-S and 1910.
The Braves broke into the charmed
circle in 1914, and since that year the
pennants have been moving from city
to city. The ST. Louis National league
club is the only one of the senior ma
jor league which never has had pen
nant winner.
In the American league only four of
the eight cities have had pennant win
ners since the league was started 20
years ago. Philadelphia and Boston
lead with six pennants each, Chicago
has won five flags while Detroit has
accounted for the remaining three.
Chicago won in 1901, 1906, 1917 and
1919. Philadelphia won in 1902, 1905,
1910-11, and 1913-14. Boston won in
1904, 1912, 1876 and 1918. De-
troit carried off the honors in f907-S-0.
The American league pennant has
never flown at the home fields of the
Yankees, Senator's, Browns or Indians.

WHO WON CHAMPIONSHIP
FLAG FOR CINCINNATI?

The oft-repeated query, "Who
won the WARP" is paralleled by
one just as puZzling. 1t is,
who won the pennant for Gin
cinnati?" Some one has figured
that at least four men who are
not members of the Redland
outfit have just claims to rec
ignition in this connection.
They are as follows:
William f. Baker. president
of the Phillies, who released
Pat Moran last winter.
John McGraw, who, after he
had signed Moran as a coach for
his pitchers, voluntarily released
him so that he might accept the
management of the Reds.
Barney Dreyfuss, who refused
TO waive on Walter Ruether and
Jimmy Ring last spring and so
kept them in the league.
Charles FL. Ebbetts, who re
fused to pay Billy Kopf's salary
demands, the result being that
Kopf remained with the Reds.
