On Trading Players

Some Boston critics peevishly point to the fact
that Ed Barrow has traded players enough from the
Red Sox to make championship team if they could
be mustered together. John Mc(1raw of the Giants,
has traded away more than potential champion
ship team in the of his career as manager Yet
he somehow manages to get actual championship
teams in return

The American League

The steady ascent of the Chicago White Sox and
the steady slide downward of the Yanks are the two
most noteworthy features of the American League.
Before the Yapks started West they leading and
the pennant winning spirit seemed be with the team
But they returned from the road with fifteen defeats
and six wins the harvest. The Yanks have not
been an unlucky team this year, either. The athletes
have proved themselves less brittle than they were
under "Wid Bill Donovan "Home Run" Baker is still
intact, and there are no crippes on the team But
they lost lot of ball games.
The Cleveland Indians certainly contenders

Presidential timber by the cord, is beginning to dream
dreams this year of worlds series confined entirely
to the State of Ohio, with the Reds and Indians shar

BOSTON, Aug. 2 (American)-Bef
crowd of 1880 Boston and Chicago
divided honors to-day, Boston winning
the first game, to 3, and losing the
second, 10 to l. Ground rules were
necessary.
Russell and McGraw, obtained by
Boston from New York in the Mays
deal, both pitched Russell relieving
Musser in the first game. after the
latter had been hit hard, while McGraw
pitched the ninth inning of the second
game, relieving Pennock. Russell
pitched we'll and. with good support
and opportune batting by Poston, got
credit for win over Cicotte.
In the second game Pennock pitched
no-hit ball until the seventh, when
Chicago scored twice, following it up
with eight runs in the eighth In this
inning Umpire Moriarity was hit on
the temple with a bali thrown by
Catcher Walters and collapsed, but
finished the game.

Confronting the Park
Department

above the subway has tended 70
show that tree life cannot be sus-
tanned against the impact OF human
feet. This has led TO an experiment
on the Broadway and both street
sides Of the Museum Of the Ameri-
can Indian. that has been salts

the sidewalks. Trees, their trunks
protected by iron pickets, are
planted through the grill, and,
thus protected from the patter
Of feet, and the soil raked through
the iron bar base, the naples that
have been set out have fourished.
The success Of this experiment led
J. p. Morgan to use the same meth
DDS in front Of his Madison Avenue
home.
But such system as this is I'M
possible in Central Park. The fact
that it is impossible plus the handi-
cap of subsoil conditions IS the rea-
son that only slrfacc-r)oted species
live. As City Forester Kaplan says,
"We shall probably never have
tree Of more than two feet in diam
eter below l06th Street ~
1t is a further belief Of both Com
missioner Gallatin and Forester
Kaplan that a scientific thinning out
process of those trees now in Central
Park would be Of inestimabie bene-
fit. But the "Woodman, spare that
tree" idea is so firmly established IN
the minds of American people that
the mere suggestion Of telling trees
invites criticism. The park is more
than sixty years Of age, some Of the

passed their usefulness, and in some
instances the authorities have taken
it upon themselves to tear out rem
nants Of original shrub beds, plant
ing anew near the Boat House and
the north end Of the Casino, as well
as many other places, with success.
Adequate fencing is what is most
needed for the protection Of plant
life in Central Park, and that
the Department Of Parks is swinging
the Board of Estimate around to its
way Of thinking is indicated by the
fact that $1,000 was appropriated
as the first years allotment Of a
budget Of 100000 requested BY the
present park administration.

amining the trees growing therein.
"As you are aware, over consld-
erable portions of the park, where
the trees are now dying in con
stantly increasing numbers, there IS
"A sub-soil of heavy, tenacious clay,
overlain with more or less rubblc,
with foot or so, and in some places
even less than a foot, of soil. The
clay, acting as a hardpan, makes
a condition that is extremely un-
satisfactory for the growth Of trees.
The reason is that the ground in
which the roots spread out IS over
wet at times and over-dry at other
times. During the wet periods the
water accumulates on the upper
surface of the clay, and if It re-
mains ovcrlong the lower roots IN
contact with the clay are likely to
die from asphyxiation. During dry
periods very little water can be
brought up from lower levels
through capillarity. Furthermore,

At first only seniors were ad-
mitted to membership, and upon this
fact may be based the life of the
movement. Had the less response
Bile undcr-classmen been eligible, it
is doubtful if American tradition
would have permitted their pranks
to be scattered like burning brands
among other schools. But the seri-

These are only twentyodd Of a
thousand who might be named
whose life history is conned by stu
dents anxious TO emulate. But they
are sufficient to demonstrate the
point-fraternities do not make a
man. neither do they mar him.
The first Greek letter fraternity,
Phi Beta Kappa, was established at
first as a secret society in the Col
lege of William and Mary in 1916.
Formed for social and literary pur-
poses. it succumbed TO the Revolu-
ton. to emerge in 1880 and TO spread
slowly to other Eastern universities,
and later dropped its secrecy to
become the national society for
"honor men," acceptance becoming
limited almost wholly to students
Of high attainments. To-day the ad-
dresses delivered at the annual con-
ventions of Phi Beta Kappa become
the classic literature of the next
generation.
Sigma Phi and Delta Phi were
born in 1927. Alpha Delta Phi in
1882, Beta Theta Pi in 1889. and
Delta Kappa Epsilon in 1914. In
short order thereafter came Phi
Gamma Delta. Phi Kappa Sigma,
Sigma Chi, Phi Delta Theta, Alpha
Tau Omega, Kappa Sigma, and a
host of others. Beta Theta ri was
the first to thrust roots out beyond
the Alleghenies and for almost a
quarter century the East was the
only rendezvous for the secret So
cieties. Later. in Virginia and in
Alabama, Sigma M, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon and other fraternities with
distinctly sectional appeal sprang
up. To-day almost all of these
fraternities have so scattered their

due to the large number Of people
constantly using the park, the
ground has been rendered very ctm-
pact, consequently the precipitation
is likely to flow off the surface
rather than soak into the soil.
soils Of this character are par
ticularly bad for deep-rooted species,
such as oaks and hickorics; becches,
naples and 'elms are likely to do
better. In other words, surface
rooted trees do better than tap
rooted ones.
MANY Of the American clms long
ago were injured severely by over
pruning namely, the cutting back
of the ends Of the branches. This
should never be done with elm trees.
The two avenues Of American clms,
some six inches in diameter, recently
set at either side Of the Mall, ap-
pear in excellent condition, but, in
my judgment, great mistake was
made in that all of the old elms now

fore the new elms were set. AS
general principle, due to the ad'
verse condition, considerable plant
ING should be done each year, with
the expectation that many trees
must be removed as they fail or die.
In my opinion all trees will grow
larger and attain greater age where
the impervious subsoil can be broken
up. and where drains can be laid
along it's upper surface to carry OH
excess water.
"In setting new trees in Central
Park the opening up Of large holes,
removing the clay subsoil to the
depth of several feet and filling the
opening with loan will give much
better results. Trees that are now
failing, particularly elm trees, in
my judgment cannot be brought
back again to vigorous condition.
1t is possible that the lives Of some
Of them may be prolonged, however,
by blasting openings at twelve to
fifteen foot intervals in the clay sub
soil. | would not expect extraordl-
nary results so far as the effect is
concerned on trees now showing de-
cided signs Of failure.
"Thc plowing up and loosening
Of the surface soil and the applica-
ton of fertilizer, particularly
around beech and other surface
rooted species, should be of decided
benefit. I would recommend that
certain areas in the park where the
soil is now rendered very compact
and with numerous trails crossing
be fenced to keep the public out for
period Of years, or until the trees
have recovered somewhat from their
present poor condition.
Il recommend that a series of ex-
periments in blasting in order to
open up holes in the clay subsoil be
undertaken. You should not, how
ever, be disappointed if the benefit
10 the old trees is less than antici-
pated."
In accordance with the informa-
ton gathered from this investiga-
tion Park Commissioner Gallatin
has approved a plan Of blasting
which will Immediately be given a
trial. A tile drain will also be laid,
but it will differ from the ordinary
drain used on a baseball diamond
or playground in that it will func-
ton less rapidly, allowing the soil
10 retain that moisture which IS
necessary to tree life. In uprooting
specimens in Central Park Forester
Kaplan has found the roots Of trees
entirely dead and waterlogged, as
- result Of the stagnant water which
has been held by the clay subsoil.
The blasting process at regular

trast with the figures Of to-day as
compared to seventy-five years ago.
Then there were not more than tive
of the secret associations, with per-
haps two or three hundred men,
bers. A compilation recently made
shows in America to-day 100000
living members of college fraternl-
ties, representing about 1000 chap
ters.
Then the first house occupied ex-
clusivcly by a fraternity was still
such a novelty that little attention
was drawn to the fact that the edi-
fee was nothing more than an ordi-
nary, ill-roofed, windowless log
cabin with a lean-to for the recess
room when the fraternity decided
to caucus. To-day there are more
than 900 chapter houses owned
almost without exception wholly by
the fraternities and bearing a total
valuation of more than 100000.
Perhaps the contrast is made more
graphic by the statement that the
very same fraternity which enjoys
the distinction Of having the pre-
mier log cabin fraternity house
the Delta Kappa Epsilon-is to meet
in its own structure, thirteen stories
hich, possessed of all the convent
cnces and refinements of a modern
hotel and valued at more than
100000. If success were measured
only in membership and dollars,
here alone would be sufficient ap-
pr1isal Of the merit Of college fra
ternities.
But it is not upon this basis that
fraternity leaders-the members Of
the celebrated Pan Hellenic Council
make their arguments. They
point rather to the men who have
come up through colleges by way
of the fraternity chapters and who
have more than stifed by their lives
any criticism which may have sprung
up regarding the lack of democracy
/ in such institutions.
