HOW TO PLANT BULBS.

From now on until frost In the bsa
tims for planting sprinG towering
bulbs, such as crocus, narcissus, tu-
lips. snowdrope. hyacinth. lily-of-the-
valley. and souills. Tho f,rst two
kinds should be planted early and the
tulips late. The rest arc not inordi-
nately particular. None should be
put in the ground before six weeks
ahead Of the INST killing frost. n for
any reason It In necessary to walt un-
I'll after the ground has become frozen
before planting the spring Towering
bulbs the places In which they are to
be set should be protected by a mulch
OF manure or by some canvas or bur-
lap covered with dried leaves.
Tho depth to which tho various
types should Be planted and their dis
tance apart are generally determined
by tho size OF the bulb which, in turn.
usually indicates the size OF the plant.
Thus the crocus and tho snowdrop,
two OF the gmallest varieties Of spring
towering bulbs. should be planted
nearer the surface OF the ground than
any OF tho others, and the narclssus,
which is ono OF the largest. should be
planted deeper. In the same way the
various sizes should be spaced at vary
Ing distances apart.
To get down to actual measure
ments. the crocus, snowdrop and chic
nodoxa (glory- Of -the-snow) should be
planted so that tho top OF the bulb Is
three inches from the surface of the
ground: the top being that end of the
bulb toward which the leaf-like layers
OF tho bulbs outer surface point. The
bottom OF the bulb may usually be
distinguished by the beginnings OF tiny

that thcy may begin their root growth

are planted in freezing weather, to
provide a good mulch or two. For
the samc reason the bulbs that are
planted early should be given the same
sort OF mulch after frost--not before

will promote a top growth that will be
destroyed later on when tho frost has

manure from the bulbs. aS this will
cause rot. Well rotted manure, on the

ground around and under tho places
where the bulbs are to 20. Another
wise precaution to take in damp sole
is TO put some sand under tho bulbs
when they are planted In order to
provide drainage.

CARDINAL FLOP
IS BLAMED ON
LOST SWAT KING
Hickey Says It's All Because
McHenry Went Home Sick
and Stayed There.
BY DAVIS j. WALSH.

NEW YORK. Sept. 2.-That mid.
August slump Of the st. Louis Car
dinals can be blamed on a player
who was not with the club, as much
as anything else, according to the
eccentric. siab-sided reckoning OF
Branch Hickey. Branch admits that
kicked so many of them away that
them in self-defense, yet he regards
this as only one sour detail among
50 many.
The real answer. he affirms. was
neither bad pitching nor carefree
fielding. but the absence Of a player
who obeyed thu impulse and
smacked one somewhere every time
he saw men on the base paths. q.
Austin McHenry," Mr.. Hickey
mutters, soto voce, where art
thou, Austin?" n.
McHenry is at his home in Ohio.
resting up for next season. He has
been I'll the greater part Of the
present year and II was deemed ad-
visable to give him every oppor-
tunity to recover his health.
" He was sent home for the re-
mainder of the campaign. but before
he departed he left a trail Of base
hits in the pinches that contributed
no little to the clubs early success.
However, let Mr.. Hickey tell you
about 1t.
"McHenry," he says. Stands third
on my club for driving in runs. de-
spite the fact that he played In only
forty.four games against nearly 12o
played by the rest Of the team. He
hit only 1903, yet is headed only by
Hornsby, who has batted over $3.50
all year, and Fournier, whose long
hits in st. Louis have cleaned up
many times.
Both were in nearly every game
the Cardinals have played. Many
of the fourty.four in which Nc
Henry's name appears include
games in which he was 2 pinch
hitter. In other words, McHenry
did not hit them so often, but he
made every one of them count.
THAT is what my team misses
now. 1t is a club that needs a lot
of runs to win. It didn't get them
on the last Eastern trip. Hornsby
fell off bit in hitting, Fournier's
fielding became SO unsteady that l
had to get him out of there, and
McHenry was so Ill that sent him
home. OF the three McHenry's abb
sence, I think, was the most disas-
trous."

SEASON 5 PLAY
Consolation and Gold Cup
Winners Have All Been
Clever on Green.

All the golfers who have won any
thing this season, from consolation
prizes to gold cups. have accom-
plished their various objectives by
being peculiarly gifted in the art Of
putting.
More players would have won
prizes during the season IL It had
not been impressed upon their minds
early in the season that the way to
play golf was to acquire a long
game, to hit the ball high and far,
and upon reaching the green to
trust to Providence.
In the mad desire to hit the ball
out of sight a little detail like put
ting was overlooked. During the
long nights of the coming winter,
when the golfer is worrying about
where the next days supply Of coal
Is coming from, his fancy will turn
to a book on putting.
He will forget all he read the
winter before on the long game and
