rests for three days, and then pro-
duces the second crop, lasting for four
days more, which then gradually dis
appears in the evening shades. We
thus have evidence of variety Of
lunar vegetation. The wings of the
northern spot begin to develop as soon
as the sunlight strikes them"
These periods vary, however, in
different forms of vegetation observed.
Crops with different exposures vary
in duration from two to eleven days,
and the average is about week.
"In quickness of development" says
Professor Pickering, "some of it even
vies with our mushrooms and toad
stools. The crop has to be brief in
full if any of it In the region we have
described lasts through the lunar
night"
Telling how dark patches and lines
varied in their positions he continued !:
at thus appears that the runs on
shift their positions over the surface.
/ In both cases the surface discoloration
has changed its place. This cannot
be due to mineral or inorganic forces.
Life therefore, exists on both these
planets"
After describing. how fields of vegeta-
tion darken, spread, grow pale and
shrink, DR.. Pickering continued:
'This description typifies the changes
| constantly occurring in many we'll
defined lunar fields in the course of
their development, changes much more
marked than any occurring ON Mars"
Discussing one area of apparent
vegetation which he calls the South
eastern Field, Professor Pickering
continues:
"We now come to one of the most
| interesting of all the fields of this
crater, because its changes are not
only very marked, but also because
they occur chiefly near the time of the
full moon, so that they can be studied
] for several hours continuously"
After describing how the vegetation
varies with different amounts of sun
light, the astronomer says that the
field finally acquires the pattern of a
lobster or crab, with sharply
curved claws"
Professor Pickering concluded his
article by saying that "We do not
clearly understand the nature of life
that is here described and laid before
our eyes upon the moon, yet that very
fact only adds to the interest that 1t
inspires in our minds.
1--WE find there, living world at our
very doors, where life in some re-
spects resembles that on Mars, but is
entirely unlike anything on our own
planet-a world which the astronom-
zeal profession in general, for the
past fifty years, has utterly and syste-
matically neglected and ignored"

ed in New York he retired as an ac-
tive player and became leader
one of the foremost in the annals Of
the game.
Jennings was shortstop-frst with
Louisville, then with Baltimore and
finally with Brooklyn. His work as
manager in Detroit came to close
with the season of 1920.
Burkett came to the Giants in 1890
as a pitcher, but was converted into
an outfielder because he could not con-
troll his left-handed shoots. And as an
outfelder with New York, Cleveland
and st. Louis Burkett made history
as one of the most able batsmen if
the game.
High Batting Records.
The batting records of McGraw,
Jennings and Burkett combined repre-
sent 81 years of hitting over the 800
mark in the big show. Burkett batted
better than 800 for IL years, McGraw
for nine and Jennings for seven. Bur-
kett was the mightiest of the trio, and
in 1895 he batted 423-a mark second
only to Hughey Duffy's .43S of 1894.

quiring competence for the time
when they have lost their skill or
grown too heavy for further duty in
the saddle.
The great riders of the past have
come from all sources, but the best of
them have been recruited from the
stables of horsemen making a special
ty of developing jockeys. Mclaughlin,
Garrison, Griffin and others of our best
men in the saddle received the rudi-
ments of their horsemanship in this
way. 1t is unusual when boy ac-
quires skill In any other field, and for
this reason the history of Laverne Fa-
tor, now regarded as leader in his
profession, is unique.
Fator's horsemanship assumed a
quality this season that is challenging
the attention of the critics. His ride
on Surf Rider in the Babylon handicap
at Aqueduct was one Of the best pieces
of saddle work seen this year. This

UMPIRE ALWAYS HAS HIS SAY
Useless to Protest Against Arbiter's
Judgment on Any Ruling in
Baseball Game.

Every time an umpire talks, during
a baseball game, he says mouthful
of law.
Baseball managers who have felt
the occasion to protest ruling have
found this out. When his honor the
Jump speaks-that Is all there is to it.
It's all over but the protesting. And
that doesn't mean anything, says the
Chicago Post.
Recently, the Cleveland Indians pro-
tested a ball game because, so iris
Speaker claimed, a Yankee player In
terfered with an Indian who was try
ing to make catch. The protest came
after the umpire ruled that there was
no interference.
Ban Johnson was miles away from
the play, but the jumps word was plen-
ty good enough for him.
Truly, an umpire always has his
say!

INDIANAPOLIS TEAM OF 1877
Pitcher Nolan Worked Every Day in
Week, as Did His Battery Mate,
Silver Flint.

Speaking of baseball teams which
we're great-the old Baltimores, the
Brooklyn Superbas, the Cubs, the
Giants, the White Sox, the Athletics
and others-one Of our friends whose
sport experiences go back two gen
erations, says one of the greatest
teams in it's day was the Indianapolis
team of 1877, winners Of the pennant
in the International association.
On that team was the great battery
of that day-Silver Flint, catcher, and
'"The Only Nolan, pitcher, says the
Indianapolis News. The other players
were Frank Houtz, first baseman; Joe
Quest, second base; Fred Warner,
third base; D. j. Mack, shortstop; ]. B.
McSorley, left field; William Kelley,
center, and AID Recap, right field.
This team was built by it's mana
ger, d. e. Petit, who gathered the
players from several teams In the
Middle West One of the greatest
thinkers on the team was McSorley,
known as "Trick," because of his
penchant for outguessing the opposi-
ton.
The work of the great battery,
Nolan and Flint, was the outstanding
feature of the play of the Indianapolis
team.
Nolan pitched every day in the
week-114 games in the season. Flint
caught in all Of these games. To the
pitcher of the modern day, who can
pitch about one game in four, this
does seem as overwork.

lunar vegetation. And he takes
particular pains not to say that there
is intelligent animal life on the moon.
One thing is sure-Professor Pickering
is one of the greatest living astron-
omers and has been studying the moon
pretty steadily for two years.
What's more, Camille Flammarion,
the famous French astronomer, says
Professor Pickering is probably right,
as he himself has photographed
phenomena on the moon which in
dicates the existence of vegetation.
Professor Pickering is now in
Europe. His colleague, Professor S. l.
Bailey of Harvard, says:
professor Pickering has not as yet
been able to convince many astron-
omers that he is right in his dis
covery of life on the moon. He has
made a prolonged study of the sub
ject with a telescope at Jamaica and
is convinced that the markings which
he finds on the moon are caused by
vegetation, but some others think the
markings are shadows. My own, atti-
tude Is one of doubt.
mo scientific man has advanced the
theory that there is intelligent life on
the moon. If there is life, it is be-
lieved to be low form. OF course,
no one can say positively that in
telligent life does not exist there"
professor Pickering is perfectly
right in assuming that a perfected
optical science will enable astronomers
to make invaluable research bearing
on life on the moon, which until now
has been regarded as a glacial world"
declared Camille Flammarion, in
Paris.
Like Professor Pickering, / have
photographed phenomena on the moon
which indicate the existence of vege
tation. l have been able to observe
that five or six spots-each hundreds
of miles in diameter-grow darker

"We are thus entitled TO believe
that the moon has gigantic forests,
even though the chemical compost
ton thereof may differ from those of
the earth, so as to permit life in an
atmosphere which is six-tenths less
dense than ours

life does not exist on the moon, such
a fact is by no means proven, for

"The most rational hypothesis is
that the moon is world in decline.

the date when the earth, now cooled,
was herself a little sun, capable OF
warming the moon.
an this case the moon will have
retained semblances of vegetation life
only in certain deep craters, which
are probably what Pickering and my
self have observed"
In his report on this phase of his
study of the moon, which has just been
published in Popular Astronomy, a
scientific publication issued at North
field Mimi, Prof Pickering criticises
astronomers in severe terms for
neglecting the study of the moon, be-
cause of an improved hypothesis that
it was lifeless. He emphasized the
fact that Mars is 200 times further
away from the earth than the moon is,
so that other things being equal, 200
times as much detail can be seen on
the moon as on Mars. Prof. Pickering
is one of the chief living authorities
on Mars, where he believes that life
exists.
When the moon energies from it's

of cold probably unknown on earth,
the suns light quickly warns up the
fields in the great moon craters, some
Of which are many miles across, and

there, according to the Pickering
theory. This f1ourishes during the
long moon day.
Professor Pickering found canals"
or runs" of vegetation on the moon,
as on Mars, and was able, because of
the nearness of the moon, to trace the
intricate patterns of growing fields,
as he regarded them.
He did this with an inferior tele-
scope at the Harvard Observatory at
Vaudeville, Jamaica, which location is
of special advantage in examining the
moon. His instrument, q small one, is
more than fifty years old. His re-
searches are expected to result in
bringing powerful telescopes to bear
on the moon for the special study Of
living things alleged to be found in the
craters.
