SOP HOMORES WIN
FROM FRESHMEN
Now Tied With Juniors for
First Place in InterCIaSS
League.
STANDINGS.

Winning the closest game Of the
high school interclass baseball
league the sophomores placed them
selves in the upper berth with the
juniors. when they barely won from
the freshmen TO the count OF 8 10 s.
The game was not sure until the last
man was out, so many rallies hav-
ing been started with two men out.
Both the under classes are about
equal in strength, although the
sophomores made ten hits 10 the
yearlings nine.
The pitchers were also very even
~ matched, Smith. the soph strik-
ing out six men and walking three,
while Buntman. the fresh, came
across with four strike outs and
three walks
See-saw Game.
This game is probably the most
see-Saw one of the league, one in
ming the fresh being ahead and the
next the sophs. The fresh scattered
their runs through three innings,
while the sophomores produced
runs in every inning but two. The
innings that made the game so close
being the fourth and fifth In the
fourth the fresh came across with
three runs. Scheer the first man
leading off with hit, Haas then
took the stick and knocked the ball
for a row OF buckets stepping three
bases on it, Smith then tightened
and made Shanafelt and Ried take
the bench, Maxey and Chilburg each
followed with a hit driving the runs
across the plate. The sOphs then
came back strong driving five men
across the pan and placing them
again in the lead, but the next in
ing the fresh hammered Smith and
with the poor support he received
rallied four TALES to their standard
The sophs played steady ball from
then on both in batting and fielding
making a run each inning until the
game was theirs. Score by innings:
Sophomores OH O51 1-9 10 :
Freshman 100 $40 O-s 9 5
Batteries-Srnith and Robertson;

THE AMATEUR Ian ESCAPE GARDENER.
.Louro A. Krknan

The average person cannot afford u
, employ n landscape gardener to plan
the planting of his grounds, so must OF
necessity study the subject OF land
scape gardening and do his own plant
ing.
The first thing he will learn in fol-
lowing this interesting subject, In that
his grounds must be considered In the
light of a bare canvas and he himself
as Jan artist about to plant picture
with plants and flowers.
In every picture there is one CEN
trail object-one object of predomn-
ant importance-and all else In the
picture is subordinate to this chief
point of interest. In the landscape
gardeners picture, the main object is
the house; everything. then. which
does rot contribute to the effectiveness
of the house, Is to be ruled out as a
possibility. His ideal, when planting
the grounds. should he to make the
house appear more attractive.
For this reason, he will not put flow
or beds in the front lawn. a velvet
like sweep of lawn before house,
adds to the beauty of the house Then,
too, 1t must be remembered that ugly
patches of brown earth in the lawn
during the colder months, or patches of
mulching over the beds. are The price
of flower beds-and II the beauty of
the house is our first consideration. we
should think of it's appearance ia win
ter as well as in summer
II a house happens to have a fine
old tree on it's front lawn, only the
most soulless Philistine would think
of removing 1t. But if ones lawn is
bare, one will do well to leave it bare
of trees. shrubs. and flowers. in order
that one may achieve more artistic
picture thru this "open treatment"
