The Cherry 10 Peculiar.

The wild cherry Ia lever found
growing In abundance In any locality.
Its popularity for decorative work hus
led to the destruction Of much cherry.
and there has never been sufficient
provision for replacing the trees cut.

have given the matter study note with

lalnck cherry and see that unless
greater cure Is taken In future Il will

PRECEDENT AGAINST
NEW YORK CLUBS IN
1928 REMNANT RACE
Never Has Same City
Sported Two Flags 3
Consecutive Times.

New York. Feb. 12.-Preccdent and
everything but actual form is against
another worlds series in New York
this fall. Never in the history of base
ball have the two pennants flown
three years i'll succession in the same
city, but as the clans gather to go
South it looks as though they might
this year.
Prospects of the Giants repeating
in the National League seem bright
er than those Of the Nanks. The Ma
tional League champions have class
and the competition perhaps will be
less keen than that which the Yanks
will face in the American League.
This time last spring it was thought
that the Giants could never stagger
along with their pitching staff Nc
Graw's corps of hurlers are n little
more impressive this year than last
year. The Cincinnati Reds are looked
upon as being a close rival of the
Giants if they get away better than
they did last year.
The Pittsburg Pirates under Bill
Mckcchnie, may be a smOother-work-
ing combination for the entire route
and they will have to be figured in
the race. The st. Louis Cardinals
look bad and Branch Hickey will have
a time to stay in the first division.
In the American League the Yanks
have everything but the hustle" They
are slightly stronger in the field and
they have the best pitching staff in
baseball-if it works,

New York, Feb. 12.-Jack Bentley

how Manager Dunn of that club told

the player became so outspOken in his

he had come to the point where he
was tired of Baltimore and wanted
TO go, would make the best trade
could for him. He met me later and
said he would like TO go into the ma.
jor leagues. ] told him how much he
would be worth to Baltimore, but that
if he wanted TO go into the majors
with a chance to get more l would
live by my agreement. The best dick.
er I could make with New York and ]
put the trade through. Bentley know
ing exactly why. l told him that il
was done to put him in the majors as
Baltimore had become tiresome TO
him. There was never any agreement
between us that he should have any.

WEEKS FIGHT CARD
In NEW YORK ONE OF
THE SEASONS BEST
Fiue Bouts of Importance
Are Scheduled, Start
ing Tuesday.
By FAIRPLAY.

Copyright, ny The San Antonio Light.
New York. Feb. 12.-One of the
best weekly fight cards of the winter
season stares the New York fans in
the face this week. The little fellows
form the cast.
Jack Bernstein of Yonkers, who has
cleaned up most of the 130-pounders
in these parts, meets Gene belmont,
from Memphis. Tuesday night. The
southerner is known to be good and,
although Jack is expected by the
fraternity to win, there is big "if"
TO the affair. Jack is finding it
harder each time to get down to the
1870 pounds and retain his best, which
is far better than the average. If
he can stow belmont away, however,
it probably will mean a match with
Champion Johnny Dundee. Certaint-
ly Bernstein will deserve a fight with
the Scotch wOp.
On Thursday. Jack Sharkey and
Midget Smith are booked for twelve
rounds. Smith has n reputation that
has few black marks on it and the
Sharkey boy is conner. The fight
ought TO furnish pretty good indi-
cation of whether Midget will ever
get to the top. If he is whipped he
will have to do a lot of impressive
battling TO regain his present place
among the near elite.
The Carl. Tremaine-I Irish Johnny
Curtin scrap at the Garden Friday
night is of course the big affair of
the week. Both have agreed to make
100 pounds Mt , o'clock the day of
the fight. The wise ones arc pick
ing Tremaine to win, in view of the
terrible lacing he gave Mike Ballerino
week or SO back. Mike filled in
for Curtin, who had injured himself
training. Both boys pack a terrific
wallop and both are fighters.
The curtain show on Saturday
night presents two hcadliners. Pana-
ma Joe Cans and Jimmy O'Gatty are
all set for l. rounds at the Common
wealth club, and Vincent Pepper
Martin and frankie Edwards may
travel the same distance at the Rink
\. c. We say may. because it is
very probable that there will be a
flop by one of the two before the
last scheduled session.

Hoover Will Not Defend Diamond

BY the Associated Press.

Duluth, Mimi. Feb. 12.-Waltcr
Hoover will not defend the Diamond
SculIs at the English Henley next
summer but that will have no bear
ing on his title ms worlds amateur
singles sculling champion. In fact,
according to officials of the Duluth
Boat club, it means that Hoover is
giving up the HcnlPy-on-the-T Thames
trophy to defend his worlds title
against Paul Costello. Philadelphia,
national champion; Hilton Belyea, St
Johns. n. B.. Canadian champion,
and other prospective challcngcrs.
The Philadelphia Gold Challenge
Cup, which Hoover won at Philadel-
phia last July. represents the worlds
singles sculling championship, since
this cup was given to Jack Kelly,

emblem OF victory gained at Antwerp,
Belgium. in 1920 when Kelly defeated
the pick of the worlds scuilers at
the Olympics.
Previously the Diamond Souls had
been recognized as emblcmatic of the
worlds title.
Hoover minated that if he won
this summer he might visit England
in 1924.
The worlds champion also said that
he would be delighted" to return to
England this summer but he is deter
mined TO make allowance this year fol-

JOE RAY WILL RACE
IN EAST FOR WHAT is
PROBABLY LAST TIME
Enters Monday Night
Euents-Satmday's
Feats Greatest Yet.

New York, Feb. 12.-Having
achieved the distinction Of being
recognized as the greatest distance
runner ever developed in the United
States. perhaps in the world, Joie
Ray. who sports the colors of the IL
linois Athletic Club of Chicago, will
make his final New York appearance
Monday night.
IL is likely to be his last metropoli-
tan race, and one of the last races
of his long and amazing track career,
for there have been many reports
which he has not denied, that he will
quit the track after thhis season.
Ray will concede handicaps to some
of the second best distance men in the
country Monday night in the annual
indoor games of the list Regiment
Athletic Association in the one and
threC-quarters mile run, for which he
set new worlds record Of 1850 Al
Saturday night. He will concede dis
lance to Willie Ritola, of the Finnish.
American A. c., national ten-mile
and metropolitan two-mile champion,
anu al liDSI VI ltSStE lkUlS.
On completing Saturday night at
the Wilco Athletic Club games the
greatest individual performance in the
history of amateur sport, as most
critics today declare without qualifi-
cation, Ray is assaying, 100 per
cent"
Always inoffensively boastful, Joie
only did Saturday night what he
predicted he would do-break all the
records he desired to smash. He
broke three world records, 1000 meters,
l 81 and = miles; established one
neY worlds record, 1 rs miles,
and made the = miles indoors under
the outdoor time. He did it all in one
race. that for the Hirshon trophy at
5000 meters. continuing on to the end
of the = miles.
In every appearance here this sea
son he has broken a record, either
the track mark, the metropolitan or
national mark. or the worlds mark.
All tracks have looked alike to him,
as for his fields OF competitors. he
passed them too quickly to notice
much.
Ray will leave Tuesday for Buff
falo to participate in the national in
