With shells screaming overhead and
the rattle Of machine guns in the air,
an officer of the Irish guards in the
front line trenches near Givenchy In
1915. noticed some pinks growing 10
the garden Of shell-battered cottage
between the lines. That night he sue
ceeded In digging up some Of the
plants with an entrenching tool. Even
'tually they reached garden in Sur
reg, where they have bloomed and in
creased. Now plants grown from
these war refugees have been taken
back to Givenchy by an officer Of the
Imperial War Graves commission, and
their white flowers are to be seen In
the Guards cemetery, and by the Me-

YALE STUDENTS
STRONG FOR

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Oct. IT.
No fewer than 1872 Yale students

Three hundred men reported at the

Yale saw 975 men report at the

Fans Before Game at
Bridgeton, N. J.

BRIDGETON, N. j., Oct. IT.
A holiday was celebrated here
yesterday. The town was quiet,
except in one place the baseball
field.
AS soon as the noon whistles
blew everybody rushed home,
washed and dressed up to look
their best.
They were going to the baseball
field, where they were to meet
their hero-the player they had
rooted for during the world series
and who lives but just a few
miles from here, Salem.
The whole town was out to honor
Goose Goslin. The mighty I(SuCse
was playing for the benefit Of bis
hometown folks.
Goslin, who tied Babe RutHi's
mark of hitting three home runs
during world series, is a biz
favorite in this town.
And Bridgeton has sonnet nlng ia
rave about, for they saw their idol
sock one of Eddie RommeTs knuckle
balls on the nose and 1t travelled
far above Earl Mack's head in right
field. When "Oil'' had recovered
the ball Goose had crossed the
plate, completing a home run.
Just before, Goslin slammed out
his circuit hit, Ewa1t Hickman, in
behalf of the city Of Bridget,n,
called Goose to the plata and pre-.
scented him with a silver-mouhted
bat.

CITY CONTROL
Or SANDL0TS
ISURGED
Detroit Recreation Official Ad-
vises Municipal Control
at Beginning

ATLANTIC CRY, Oct. 17.--Mu-
nicipal control of sandlot baseball
leagues as a means Of preventing
future scandals among big league
professionals was advocated by
c. q. Brewer, Of Detroit. when he
addressed the national conference Of
superintendsnts Of recreation being
held in conjunction with the eleventh
National Recreation Congress here.
"Sandlot, playground, and public
school baseball leagues are the
original sources of big league
players" he said. Therefore, ideals
Of craftsmanship which will guide
the ethics Of professional players
must be firmly irnbedded in these
future stars when they first take up
the game. Nor Is this important
merely that we may have stars Of
high grade, but in order that the
whole boyhood of America will have
the advantage of character building
which will tell in every walk Of
life."
Control Of such leagues should,
therefore, be under municipal de.
partments Of recreation and under
the supervision Of men, whose only
interest is better boyhood through
lettering the national game, he
said.
The value Of city and intercity
leagues was emphasized, if con.
Quoted under proper auspices. Pro.
fessionalism and comprehension.
alism in these leagues we're declared
against as the seed of the diff
culties which flower INTO charges
such as have recently been brought
against major league players.
Most Of the poor sporSsrnanship
seen at our school league games is
due to the wrong spirit on the part
of the teachers, principals, and spec.
tators," said Grover Thames,
Shreveport, La, in making plea
for the education of leaders in
league ball.

Late Blight Loss
To Potato Growers

Since the crop had an almost
ideal growing season potato yields
proved better than farmers had eX-
pected. Maine, New York, Michi-
gan and Minnesota, in common with
Wisconsin, have had very favorable
growing conditions and the Novem-
Der estimate for the United States
is III greater than the October fore
cast. The new estimate is Asa,
100000 bushels, which is 10 percent
greater than last years crop Of
412,0O0.OO0 bushels.
With big production, prices are
extremely lew and the sentiment
among farmers in all the potato dis
tricts Of the United States is one Of
discouragement. In addition to the
low prices Of zoe and 25c pushel,
Wisconsin farmers have great
deal of late blight rot to contend
with Except in some northeas-
tern counties. the blight is general
in Wisconsin, causing sever" loss
es in some of the main potato local
tiles. The disease was not very
noticeable at the time Of early dig
ging and many farmers put potatoes
into cellars with a belief that they
had a good quality crop Reports
Of disease caused these farmers to
inspect their potatoes in storage.
and in many cases blight and occd-
sionally soft rot were found through
out the bins. Since the disease
became noticeable there has been
careful picking and sorting of po-
tatoes on the field, from the pits,
and in storage - to eliminate all
potatoes showing blight.
