The American apple owes much to
the care of the Indian farmers, for the
Indian was IN able pomologist. It was
not unusual $50 years ago for Indian
orchards to have 1900 trees, which
Ill had been duly pruned and cult
rated by the people we are prone to re-
gard as nomadic -avages. The peach
and ounce were also cultivated by
them in later yenrs. TO the world the
indian introduced such fruits as the

CALLAHANS OF PRINCETON
 AND YALE TO CLASH
Captain of New Haven Eleven and His Brother at Princeton to Play Center Against Each
 Other Nov, I5.

This will be "a great season for tho Callahan family ou tIa football field for Tim is captain of .ee Yale eleven and Henry. his brother, is sure to be a member of tha Princeton team. So when tho-two rival institutions meet the Ca1rahauz wiII forget aII DrotnerIy f-e'luga and go right into the fray.
 The boys hail from Layronce, Mass, and have been on rival schools since. Tim chose Phillips -hnduvcr as his prep school and his brother went to the rival institution. Exeter Then they selected different colleges. In 1916 Tim played center on tho Yale team and was picked as NI-Amarigan pivot man and in 79IT. when he went into inc service he played with the Newport Naval Reserves.
 Henry was captain of the Princeton informal team last year and it turned out that inc is also a center of re- now1. He weighs 1S0 while the Yale Callahan tips the scales at 2l5. Therefore when the brothers line up against each other at center on No vembcr 15 somebody will need the ambulance.
 It will be recalled that in 1916 Tim Callahan gave a remarkable oNhibi- Jion at center for Yale in the sgusa- tional Harvard game. He is a player of the aggressivc type fast on hi. feet and keeping his eye on the ball every minute. With Al sharpe as coach and Callahan as captain Nale looks for d big campaign on the grid iron.

 DOUBTFUL AT BELMONT TRACK

New York. Sept 9.---Anothcr dis qualification, to say nothing of two or three upsets and the blistcring heat, aroused much grumbIing and irritation at Belmont Park yesterday.
 In the third race Dolcful bore out in the stretch, as so many horses do over this track of the reverse way of run ming, and in doing so carried snap dragon II. with him, although he did not touch or otherwise impede the horse.
 For this he was disqualified, and more or less heated discussion the rest of the afternoon.
 Remembering the more aggravated Swirl case of a few days ago, when no action was taken, and many other instances which constantly occur at this track of horses running out, many could not reconcile themselves to the ruling of the stewards in this particular case.
 It was pOintc[ out---and with some reason---that Snapdragon was fully two lengths behind Dolcful turning for home and had plenty of track room on the inside unless he too was bearing out. Hundreds too were will ling to testify that Snapdragon, which came up on the outside, was not even brushed by Doleful or hampered in his stride, but the stewards thought otherwise and when Fator lodged a claim of foul, they entertained it and disqualified the winner.

BUCK FREEMAN
 SAYS RUTH IS
 HARDEST HITTER

Toledo, O., Sept. 9-"Buck" Free man, who until last Friday was the uudisputed holder of the major league home run record of 25, is an umpire in the American Association, and was at work here on the field when the announcement was megaphoned that Babe Ruth had equalled the record.
 Freeman took off his mask, smiled approvingly, declared that he was pleased with Ruth's success and was apDlaudcd as he resumed his task of judging balls and strikes.
 Freeman held a reception in the office of Roger Bresnahan. manager of the Toledos, after the game and discussed the subject of home runs in general and the achievements of himself and Ruth in particular. Free man said:
 Fl was convinced several weeks .agoc Babe Ruth would at least equal, if he did not surpass. my home run record
 "The record was made in 1899 when I was with Washington. Many fans and former baseball writers had the impression that T was with the Boston team. bu- this is wrcng I never could hit like Ruth. l couldn't take a swing like the big fellow, be- cause I didn't have the physique" the following year in he ranking.
 NO, Buck, you were a choppy hit ter, but you put a lot of punch be- hind that old war club" said Bresna- han. Say, if you had been as big as Bahe Ruth there's no telling what you might have done that year"
 When was sent to Boston" con- tinued Freeman, T thought it would
 be easy for me to make a better re- cord for home run hitting because
 of the short right field fence on the Boston grounds, but I was mistaken. Maybe trying to put tho ball over the fence hurt my hitting, for I certainly i fell off. I made my record against some great pitchers Washington was l in the National League at that time, and Rusie and a few more of those birds were in the game. There's no denying though that there are more great pitchers today than there were in my time. and batting has improved. The great hittere of 20 years ago would be helpless before the splitter and some of the other deliveries pitchers now use.
 'I must consratulatc Ruth upon 1 his great work It's wonderful for a man to break record that has stood for 20 years, especially in the
 face of the fact that American league pitchers have been working their hardest against Ruth all season and passing him almost every time he was up there in a pinch. Look at Ruths record and you will see at once he is real batter. not a freak.
 ''The fact that he is a home run hitter merely proves he has the faculty of meeting the ball squarely with every ounce of his great strength back of his swing. Look at
 Ruth's wrist and you will find they arc tremendous. A man who hits as hard as he does must have abnor-
 maj development of wrist and fore arm"

 There was one out when Babe faced ThOT1nahlCn in the eighth. He dug the toes of his shoes into the soft dirt of the blttcr's box.
