Gibson Sends Pitcher Pom
der TO Chicago; Yankee
Pitcher Has Appendicitis
By Charles A. Taylor

The trade" winds are blowing in
baseball. Following the mammoth ex-
change between the Phillies and the
Giants which brought the spectacular
Casey Stengel into the fold of Nc
Graw, the Pirates and Cubs got busy
with the dicker yesterday and no less
parsonage than Davey Robertson
once Giant, was taken possession Of
by Manager George Gibson Of the
Pittsburgh club in return for Elmer
Ponder, pitcher.
Robertson is one of those tempera-
mental fellows. He can play ball to
the field, but his environment has
never been quite satisfactory, it woulc
seem, for despite his recognized abili-
ty Davey has been somewhat indiffer-
ent. McGraw found him so. Johnny
Evers likewise looked Robertson over
carefully and finally passed him up
ts Pittsburgh.
1t may be fine thing financially
and temperamentally for Davey, this
latest shift in his fortunes. The Pr
rates have a grand chance to win
the National League pennant and
George Gibson, if anybody can take
May Operate on Ferguson
AS for the local baseball pot, it was
boiling strongly yesterday, the wet
grounds to the contrary notwith-
standing. When it was suggested to
Sir Edward Barrow, secretary of the
Yankees, that it was his bounden
duced appendicitis, and appendicitis
is always news; in fact, the disease
is ever new and most fashionable.
The victim is Alex Ferguson, one of
the pitchers, and, according to the
diagnosis of Fergie's physician last
night, an operation is imperative. Alex
was not doing badly in his few starts
and finishes of the season and his
withdrawal means just another hard
luck tale for our aspiring and persplr-
ing Yanks.
1t was Frank Fordham Frisch, of the
Giants, who ushered in the appendicitis
it will be remembered that Frank S
long lay-off practically cost pennant
for the McGraw men
Team in Need of Pitchers
Ferguson is not so important a cog
in the Yankee machine as was Frisch
with the Giants, but Manager Miller
Higgins needs every hired man who
can throw ball, with the real double
header season approaching.
Secretary Barrow also announced as
postscript that this Battle of the
Century" would be covered in due and
ancient form at the Polo Grounds this
afternoon, when the Yankees and the
Red Sox meet in a double header
Mega honians will yell the news round
by round, to the unfortunates, or for
Inmates, who will not be inhabitants
of Boyle's Thirty Acres.
The trade winds started to blow
again just as this rainy-day epistle
was ebbing to its close. From the
wilds of Flatbush came the whispering
breeze that Edward Konetchy, of the
Dodgers, and Cecil Algernon Causey,
Of the Phillies, were due to change
berths. Konetchy is first baseman
and has served long and we'll in the
big show. Cecil Algernon is pitcher
who was once Giant

Miss CillealuGleau
Two lime Winner
In Tennis at Nyack
New York Player Tri,,n1nphs
Over Miss Bancroft, of
Boston, in Singles Finals

.NYACK, N. Y, July 1-1Iiss Helen
Gilleaudeau, OF New York, defeated
Miss Leslie Bancroft, of the Longwood
Cricket Club of Boston, to-day in the
final round of the annual open lawn
tennis tournament of the Nyack club.
Miss Gilleaudeau won in straight sets,
at Go, 6--3, playing q wonderfully
steady, hard-driving, back court game.
Her remarkable ability to cover court,
I no matter how accurately placed Miss
Bancroft,s returns, was a large factor
in her victory
Miss Gilleaudeau scored her second
victory of the day IN the womon's
doubles, when, paired With Mrs. Lewis
Gouverneur Morris, she defeated Mrs.
Frank M. Welty and Mrs. Edward Ray
mond by score of Cd, Go in the
final round, after having won matches
in the first and second rounds of this
event.
The tournament committee, favored
by fair weather, rushed the schedule
along so swiftly that the semi-fnal
round in the mixed doubles was also
reached, with Mrs. Morris and Alex
Her, Miss Eleanor Eaton and j. d.
Ewing, Mrs. D. G. Mills and 6. B.
Emerson and Miss Marion Chapman
and Donald Stewart coming through as
the surviving combinations. They
will meet in that order tomorrow, the
winners to play in the final round Sun
day afternoon.
The singles match was fought almost
entirely from the back of the court,
with both contestants driving hard and
deep. Miss Bancroft was off in her
stroking in the first set, sending many
returns out of court or into the net;
but in the second set she did better,
many prolonged rallies resulting

The American girl, who had swept all
before her on her way to the meeting
with the defending champion, won just
two games out of the fourteen played
to determine the championship, and
these two were the first and second of
the match,
Mile. Lenglen, who had been playing
cautiously in the beginning, as she
found the range for her brilliant shots,
then started furious attack that
not cease until the incompatible Su-
zanne had won the next twelve games
in q row, for the two sets, the match
and the champi onship.
The French girl welded her racquet
with such power and brilliancy and
amazing speed, that Miss Ryan ap-
peared as veritable novice, instead of
the second best woman player in the
world to-day. Mile. Suzanne's skill at
every point was positively uncanny,
and when Miss Ryan sought to find a
weakness on the little champions back
mana, she was stunned to find the ball
coming back over the net with wonder
ful speed, pace and accuracy of place
ment.
A Base Line Match
The severity of the Americans SER
wee and her tricky chop strokes did
not bother Mile. Lenglen in the least,
and she usually won her points by daz
znng Placements, easily putting the
pal! out OF her rivals reach. In the
mann, the match was played from the
oase lines, neither going to the net
frequently, Miss Ryan because she
found 1T suicidal and Mile. Lenglen for
the SIMPLE reason that she found II
unnecessary.
The, greatest gallery that has vet
attended the tournament was present
including Queen Mary, Princess Mary,
former King Manuel of Portugal and
many other notables. The little French
woman IS almost as much admired by
the English tennis followers as though
she was their own representative; and
although Miss Ryan, who has made her
home IN England for the last ten years,
is favorite at Wimbledon, few expect
ed her to defeat Mile Lenglen.
In the semi-tinal round of the women's
doubles Mrs. A. E. Beamish and Yrs.
Peacock, of England, defeated Mrs.
CraddGck and Miss M. Howkins, also Of
England, by score of GO 81. In
the other semi-hnal Miss r. M. How
kins aud Max Woosnam, of England,
defeated Manuel Alfonso, of Spain, and
Mrs. McNair, of England, by score of

Dean went right after his man, Nor
ris from the outset. He was driving
like q machine gun, terrific wallops
that left him an easy approach in most
eases. His iron play was steady and

cally perfect. Morris struggled gal
lantly enough, ut had little chance

Climate

Because Florida has become known as the
great recreation ground of the American peo-
pie, on account of its wonderful mild winter
climate, the idea prevails that it must be fear
fully hot here during the summer. This is
not true, There is always a breeze to or
from the ocean and even on the hottest days
it is comfortable in the shade and often really
cool at night.
The general average of temperature is rails
ed because of the fact that Florida has prac-
ticay 1926 days of sunshine during the year
and growing season of about ten months
In fact, including such crops as cabbage, win
ter oats, etc, the growing season covers the
entire twelve months.
1t is this long growing season rendering
possible, and matter of general practice, two,
three and even four crops which gives Flori-
da its immense advantage over less favored
sections.

twenty year period as recorded by the u S.

slightly places and on trellises for shade-and
later for its commercial value
On account of its protein content the velvet
bean is one of the best feeds for cattle and as
it is legume it is especially fine as a soil
builder Its growth is dense and the yield OF
forage and beans very heavy.
The sandy loan soil of Clay County is es-
pecay adapted to the growth of velvet beans.
Usually they are planted with corn, by some
at the same time and by others about a month
later giving the corn start, affording the
bean something to cling to.
In habit they are very much like the pole
bean of the north but will vine as long as
they have support When a telegraph or
telephone line goes through bean field it is
not unusual to see vines running up the poles
and out on the wires almost half way between
the poles
They may be planted in March, April, or
May and are harvested at from four to eight
months, depending on the variety. However,
in Clay County the more usual practice is to
pull" the better ears of corn and allow the
live stock to harvest the remaining corn and
the beans Cattle are turned on the fields in
the late fall and are followed with hogs. Thus
all the nutritive value is gotten from the crop
and none of the fertility value is wasted. This
method is one of the best for soil building.
This is the southern farmers velvet crop.

our Bees in Florida are comparatively free
from disease.
PecanS
1t is difficult not to deal in Superlatives
when speaking of pecans and their possbi-
ties in Clay County.
Pecans are grown commercially in no other
country than the United States and here in
but a comparatively small area. 1t is the
choicest of all nuts and its use is increasing
beyond belief. Its use in food and confec-
tons is only limited by the amount produced
There are no serious troubles affecting the
pecan tree after it is once firmly rooted and
growing and it has remarkable longevity, so
much so that the owner of pecan grove has
a legacy to hand down to the second and third
generations.
The fact should not be lost sight of, that
while the pecan grove is growing, the land
may be cultivated for other crops, in fact the
