DENIES THE CHERRY
TREES ARE DOOMED
Col. Sheriff. Refutes Warn
ing They Are Planted Too
Close Together.

Warning to the crowds of Washing
tonians who enjoy annually the Jap
anese cherry blossoms around the
tidal basin and along the speedway in
Potomac Park East that they should
enjoy these trees while they may be-
cause they are doomed is given in a
communication to The Star from a
Washinstonian of wide observation
and experience.
He advises that this sad result
would come not from any infection
of the trees, such as destroyed the
first lot sent over from Toxic. but
maintenance and care have planted
them too close together and not al
lowed for future growth and symmet-
rical development of the individual
trees.
This communication states that
these trees should be planted not
nearer than twenty-five feet apart,
while fifty feet is the prescribed dis
tance between elms, observing that
the cherry trees about the basin
lean elm, while those along the speed
way should grow to the size of the
American apple tree.

Land" were originally planted for
immediate effect. Many of them al
ready have been transplanted. The
tree experts under Col. Sheriff. are
watching these trees closely and fol-
lowing a definite program of trans
planting, year after year, so that at
all times these trees will not only be
placed to afford the prettiest view,
but to preserve the trees and allow
them to come to best development.
The public who so much enjoy
these trees need not fear, Col. Sher-
rill says. that they will be allowed
to die for lack of careful study, how
best to place and care for them and
to help them reach most attractive
development.

Demand for Visiting Nurses
So Great More Funds Needed

LAS long as there is pain sufferers
will need the instructive visiting
nurse"
Each day the telephone lines in the
headquarters of the Instructive Vis-
itng Nurses Society. room go, Star
building, are kept busy by sufferers
calling for an instructive visiting
nurse. They are in demand, not just
needed. and the small staff of twenty
six graduate experienced nurses are
kept running. to all points of the city
from $50 o'clock in the morning un-
til . o'clock in the evening Each
month shows an increased number of
calls over the past one, but nothing
can be done among the nurses TO take
care of this influx of appeals until
more money is provided
VIII Seek 100000.
Consequently, more money has to
be provided and tomorrow marks the
official opening of a campaign for
100000. but this amount is going Il
long way. First. 1t will provide next
years budget and there will be no
public appeal for funds In 1924 and
none after that time. perhaps. for il
is hoped the community chest will be
established by that time to assume
responsible for the health and So
cial work of Washington; second. to
employ additional nurses and third, to
have ever on hand an ample amount
of funds to meet all emergencies and
needs. The coming Shrine conven-
ton is an eample of an emergency.
and the nurses know that perhaps
they will get to visit only a few Of
the many patients they now call on
at that time. More nurses will answer
this problem Immediately.

Kilbane With S250,OOO
Has No REGRETS Over Loss

Cleveland, July 1o-(A. P. by MaiD
After nearly a months rest on his
farm near Vermillion, Johnny Kill
bane, worlds featherweight boxing
champion until he met Eugene Criqui
in New York, is ready to settle down
to the life of a business man. His
friends have estimated his financial
assets at a quarter of million dol
lars.
Johnny will become a business
man without any regrets at having
lost the title, although. as he says
now, he felt regret when he stag
gered to his feet Immediately fol-
lowing his knockout.
NO more fighting for mo-" Johnny
has said. 81 can't fight any more,
anyway. The old pep was gone in
the Criqui fight, my hands were bad,
] had nothing. And to meet little
fighter of Criqui's type you needed
everything.
II have appreciated the way my
friends rallied about me after I had
been beaten. When I returned to
Cleveland II years ago after beating
Abe Attell for the championship,
100000 people met me at the depot.
A few hundred of my friends met me
when I returned from the Criqui
fight. They were downcast, but l
want them to know that l am not at
all blue: that I'm glad I'm no longer
champion"
Johnny says his only interest in
boxing IN the future will be centercd
in AL Ziemer, his sparring partner
for years, whom he wants to send
after Criqui.

Brooklyn. July 10.-The Boston
National League Club has protested
the second game of the double
header with Brooklyn at Ebbctts
field on July 4. it was announced
today, on the ground that Umpire
Hart erred in allowing Fourier,
Dodger first baseman, a home run
when his drive hit a flagpole on the
right field wall and bounced back
into the field.
The Brooklyn club, however,
claims that the pole is four inches
beyond the limits of the field fact
which it asserts sustains the arbit-
er's Judgment. The score of the
game was 8 to 5 in Brooklyn's IA
vor.
Decision is in the hands of John

Sisler in Line
as Possibility
Next Browns Leader

st. Louis, Mo-, July 1G.-Change in
the field management of the ST.
Louis American, rumored to be con-
templated by the owner of the club,
is said by local sport writer's to be
reflection of the fans disappoint-
ment of the Browns failure this sea-
son. Their showing generally is be-
lieved to be due to the absence from
the lineup of George Sisler. star
first baseman, who it is believed, will
be asked to replace Manager Lee A
Foil.
President Balls determination to
change managers is said to have been
openly expressed Sunday after the
game with New York. He is report
ed to have criticized the manner in
which Foil directed that game, and
especially his calling out pinch hit
ters. Neither Foil nor Ball would
directly deny the many rumors re-
garding the contemplated change.
Fohl declares he will not resign
and admits he has not spoken to the
Browns owner since the team re-
turned home nearly two weeks ago.
His contract expires at the end of
this season.
Foil came to the Browns after the
end of the 1920 season His success
during the 1922 campaign won him
approval and popularity among tho
fans and he was looked upon as a
highly capable manager.
