SPORTNOTES
MAYS FIGHT BITTER
Ban johnson Stands Pat on Suspen-
sion-Court Action Impends.


New York, Aug. 4.-Ban Johnson,
president of the American league,
faced today what probably will be the
hardest fight he ever encountered in
his long reign as dictator and secre-
tary of war of the younger major
baseball organization.
Colonel Jacob Rupert and Lieut..
Col. T. L. Huston, owners of the New
York Yankees, threatened to go into
court at once over the decision of
johnson which keeps Carl Mays from
pitching and have the car enjoined
from tampering with the star pitcher
recently purchased from Boston. Mays
is now under suspension for jumping
the Boston club after he had been
fined for throwing a ball at specta-
tor in Chicago.
The two local owners met Johnson
last night and after a short confer
ence said johnson had declared five
other clubs protested the sale of Mays
and that, therefore, he could do moth
ing but hand out the suspension. They
said he had called a meeting of the
American league for this city for to-
morrow which they had declined to
attend because they would be greatly
outnumbered.
If a court action is granted to re-
strain Johnson from keeping Mays
idle, the owners said, Mays will work
here tomorrow against the st. Louis
Browns.

Definite SPLIT NOW
International League Head Says Draft
Is Dead Forever.

New York, Aug. 4.-The split be-
tween major and minor league organ
izations was made definite today when
Dave Fultz. president of the new In
ternational league. declared there is no
chance for revival of the draft. The
National league recently announced it
would enter no agreement with the
minors until the draft was restored.
Fultz, in a signed statement, de-
clared the majors had violated a YER
bal agreement made here last winter
by not signing a statement approving
abrogation of the old National agree
ments clause prohibiting drafting.
It is still understood territory and
player rights will be respected.

PASTURES
The Healthy Growth of a Variety
of Plants Furnishes a Better
Forage for Animals and More
Lime for Bone Building.
The Growing Herd Requires a
Nutrient Quality of Grass.

Lime Is essential to the growth Of
luxuriant pasture. 1t does much tos
improve the stand and increase the
variety Of grasses and clovers. The.
effect Of lime on pasture soils Is to-
sweeten II and encourage the growth
Of grasses and clovers not only more
abundantiy, but In greater profuson,
and 1t so happens that the plants
which are encouraged to grow In sweet
soils are the ones which naturally con-
tain more lime in their composition.
Lime is needed by animals quite as
much as 1t Is needed by plants, espe-
eially by young animals which are
Trowing and need II in the formation
of their bones and somewhat In the
formation OF body tissue. The Food
Administration calls attention In one
OF its circulars regarding the use OF
pilk. which contains more lime than
any other food In children's diet. 1t
says: There must be plenty OF lime
In children's food, for a great deal OF
1t is needed for their bones and teeth.
and little for their blood and ALI
other parts Of their bodies. Big boys
and girls and grown people, as weld
as children, need lime. because the
bones are constantly wearing away
little by little and must be replaced"
1t Is therefore very important THAI
pastures used for grazing should be-
we'll lined to furnish variety OF
plants, so that animals may be we'll
nourished with luxuriant growth on
plants, thus supplying an abundance oG
forage containing lime for building
bone and tissue. Lime may be applied
to pastures any time during the year.
put 1t Is best to prepare now to make
fall or winter application.

A Soil Treatment for the Tomato Crop
LtmInq Not Always Beneficial.

There has been much discussions re-
gartiing the use Of lime ON land prior
to planting tomatoes The best infor-
nation obtainable seems to point to
the fact that there Is a point close to-
the neutral line at which tomato p
grow best Just where this point Is l
one seems to know, but II Is cIearis
understood by most growers and Ex-
pertinent Station workers that 1t is so
near the neutral line that lining Is al
most always beneficial except when
the soil Is known to be alkaline, in
which case the lime Is known to do no
harm.
The use Of limo in growing can-house
tomatoes has other advantages than
the mere Increase of crop. 1t creates
soil condition favorable to a healthy
growth, making strong plant far more
capable of resisting the ravages of dis
eases which are so prevalent today.
This viii no doubt help to hold down
the cost Of spraying.

Dear Brud has gone and left rs

it's God who has bereaved us he can
all our sorrows heal.
Jesus while our hearts are bleeding.
Ger the spoils that Death has won,
We would at this solemn hour calm

"Thy will be DONE"
Though cast down we're not for
saken.
Though afflicted not alone.
Thou didst give and thou hast taken.
Blessed Lord Thy will be done.
Fill us now with deep contrition.
Take away these hearts of stone.
And make All with true submission,
Meekly say Thy will be done.
Theugh today we're filled with
msurning,
Mercy still is on the throne;
With Thy smiles of love returning,
We can say Thy will be done.
BY Thy hands the boon was given.
Tt, hast taken but Thine own.
Loed of Earth and God Of Heaven,

Dear Mother:
This is the first chance | have had
to write a real letter for some time.
The censorship was lifted today so
will proceed to tell you where / am
etc. I am at base 6 at Queenstown,
Ireland. There are only about a
thousand of US here and it is a fine
place SO far as the camp is concerned
They sure do feed us fine. We are
staying in two four story buildings
heated by coal stoves so is is as
warm as any house. The weather
here is very moderate just nice and
fresh. Well now for the trip over
We left Philadelphia on special
Oct % enroute to New York to go
aboard the President Grant, the ship
that brought us over. All to gether
there were about 1000 of US 5000
soldiers and 1000 sailors and the
boats crew. We left New York har-
Dor at about P. NJ Monday Oct. %
and landed at Brest, France Sat.
Nov. 9th at about 10 A. M.
In the convoy there were about
20 transports, destroyers and a
battleship. Each of the transports
carried troops and valuable cargoes
Of liberty motors, gas masks, cots,
automobiles and in fact everything
imaginable for the men over there.
The trip was uneventful so far as
SUBS" were concerned, although
shots were fired by some of the
ships at unknown objects. don't
think there was an encounter with
"sub all the way over. The worst
thing we had to fight was seasick-

PURCHASING LIME
FOR FARM USE
Tho Form, Concentration, Fine
ness OF Division, and the Con-
dItion of the Soil Are Factors
Requiring Consideration.
A Study Of the Soil Neuralizing
Power of Lime.

Tho chief point to be observed by
the farmer in the purchase of lime Ia
the form. The action of each form
must DO known under each OF tina
many varying conditions. Lime and
limestone are both mineral products
but the former is n product of manu-.
facture treated "a q manner to make
1t concentrated, which means that II
contains only the elements active In
correcting soil acldity, whereas the
latter contains carbon dioxide amount
ing to approximately one-half Its
weight, besides any impurities Of the
original rock from which 1t Is grou1d.
While there IL no organic fermentation
in the case of mineral materials, yet
the concentrated forms are acted upon
more readily by the natural soil sol
vents. air and water, and other solvent
substances Of soils, and, furthermore,
they are more readily and evenly dis
trtbuted throughout the soil BY the soil
moisture.
Regardless of the form. fineness OF
division has an important bearing upon
availability since the finer the material
the greater will BIO the surface area
exposed to the natural agencies which
cause disintegration. The particles OF
alaksd or hydrated lime are Infinitely
ANAL and there La no question OF their
solubility on this score. With lime.
stone Il Il question Of grinding pure
~ mechanical In nature. Tho applica.
ton OF = coarsely ground limestone,
coarser than 100 per cent. through q
1o-mesh sieve, may not show any re-
suits the first or second season, willis
the same substance pulverized to an
extremely fine powder, 100 per cent
through 80 or 80 mesh sieve, will
show results during the first season
that IL. Its fineness permits Of tho
solubility OF considerable portion OF
it's lime.
The kind of soil TO which the lime OF
limestone is applied influences the rate
Mt which they become active in the
soil. A soil which Is open and porous
and thus permits the free access of all
and circulation of water, and ons
which contains a large portion of or
ganic matter capable Of decay, ANNA.
or vegetable, presents more favorable
conditions for the solubility and activ
ity OF lime and limestone than on'
which Ia close and compact in texture
and purely mineral In its character
thus preventing the free access Of al
and water, and In which no organic
changes are taking place. In the on,
case the conditions are such as to ia
vor the action of natural agencies
and In the other they are such az t
retard their action, even though thu
latter type Of soil may be more In neet
of lime than the former for the indi
rect advantages which may be 30
cured.

crave something to sat until tins
trip. We had plenty TO eat OF course
but it was the little extras we had all
been used to that we craved for my
part a bar of chocolate candy would
have been worth five dollars to me-
Owing to the crowed condition OF
the ship we only got two meals
day at eight and three o'clock
Naturally we would get hungry a.
bout bed time so we had to use srat-
egy to get hold of something to eat
and few times l was lucky enough
to land a loaf of bread and some
onions and that didn't go bad.
The death rate on our trip was
very low although there were many
cases of Flu. Only three deaths
were reported (all soldiers) sickness
was kept well under control by the
medical officers. Every morning we
were given a mouth and nose spray
and compelled to stay in the open all
day.
We left the ship at Brest, France
the morning the armistice was sign
ed for the base at which | am now
stationed, and that was the begin
ming of another hard trip. We
travelled by rail through France and
England as third class passengers
for several days and nights, stopping
twice at English rest camps to sleep.
They were rest camps for the stom-
ach only. Our meals consisted OF
bread cheese, beef-stew and tea, (call-
ed "ta" by the English.) Although
the trip was hard one we all en-
| loved it. Our train stopped at everf
station, we had the pleasure of cele-
brating the victory with the French.
We had only travelled few hours
when the news was flashed that the
armistice had been singed.
| The "Frenchies" seem to know
when a Yankee train is coming. They
meet us in great crowds jabbering in
their native tongues "The war is
| over" But what we heard the most
| was Vivi La France, Vivi La France
or Americans give me peny cog

for buttons off our uniforms and
would give in return French relics.

of little Belgian orphans in care Of
the Red Cross waiting for bread adm
canned meats that the good hearted
Yanks would always give them. By
the time our train pulled out each

quarter or fifty cents in our money.

Dear Wife:
You will notice by the way l head
my letter that the censorship rules
have changed. They now permit US
to tell where we are located and the
story of our journeys over France.
Also our experiences on the front.
But since every newspaper is full of
letters telling of thrilling experiences
and beautiful scenery, probably any
thing | may write would not be very
interesting. However if you can
find a good map of France and fol-
low me from the time / landed until
the present time you will find that /
have Travelled around quite a bit.
After spending fourteen days on
the water we landed at Bordeaux. in
the southern part of France. Bor-
deaux is beautiful city on the Cir
onde river, not so very far from the
Spanish border. After a few DAYS
rest in a camp near the city, we
started northward passing through
the city of Mates and a few smaller
villages and landed the next day in
Redan, stayed over night near the
city and the next morning, June II,
we hiked to the little village of A
vessar where we were billited in
school houses and other public build
ings until July 80, when we were
ordered to move to St. Nicholas De
Redon, Ga suburb of Redon). The
people of Avessac treated us very
nicely and we made many friends.
At st. Nicholas we lived in our
Pup tents until August 10, when we
started on four days road march,
distance of some ninety Kilometers
to Camp Meucon. Passed through a
number of small villages and the
7aH4x
