TROUBLE


NEW YORK, July Tex Rick
ard either will hold the fight for
the heavyweight champion Of the
world in New York, dropping all idea
Of q Chicago site, or he will suffer
the probable penalty Of an indie
finite suspension as q promoter in
this State.
That prediction was made 10 the
writer today by a man whose right
to speak his mind cannot be cues.
toned. The board, he said, would
not be motivated by the principle
of might but only of right. He
swore that Richards stenographic
conversation with commissioners
Farley and Muldoon, promising New
York the championship in exchange
for a $3.50 rate on ringside seats
at the Dempsey.Sharkey fight, was
on the commissions records in
black and white.
Rickard denied that hs made
such a promise after the meeting
In question and the writer knows
he is merely stating q fact In say.
ing the promoter already has more
or less active plans under way to
take the big fight to Chicago.
II he does, the tip 10 that
Richards holdings win suffer
heavily in New York, either
through his personal suspension
or that Of the Madison Square
Garden Corporation or both.
Muldoon, according to the pres.
ent story, was most insistent upon
getting a downright declaration
from Richard before listening to
the latter's $3.50 Ideas about
Dempsey and SharIkey. Az a
matter OF fact, / am told that the
board considerde q $22 top suf.
ticient and enough for his fight
but decided to play BAH an long
as the promoter was hitting his
fungoes within reach. However,
the boys have about decided that
chicago might be bit too far for
them to go and get 'ern.
No previous fight ever got q
$27.SO top here, except Q heavy.
weight championship contest" the
writer's informant pointed out.
The commission, therefore, waived
one Of its rules 80 that Richard
could get an even break. It didn't
do this because 1t likes Rickard but
because 1t felt that, in case the
Dernpsey-Sh arkey fight 10 a bust,
New York fans at least will be
recompensed by getting q chance
to see the championship contest.
when asked about his inten.
tons on this match, Richard told
the commission that he had re.
ceived several Out-Of.tOwn blde.
He mentioned Chicago, PhiIadeI.
phia, Boston and even the yale
bowl. He added tina. he wasn't
considering any Of these bids
but had made up his mind
70 hold the big fight It The
Yankee stadium.
This satisfied the commissioners
and they thereupon granted him the
maximum price for contest on
July 81 that may not be worth 27
cents. They did this because they
knew they had to have the Denp,
sey-Sharkey fight, anyhow, and that
Delng the case, felt they were en-.
Titled to their shot at the real thing"

FOR EIGHTH.


Bump Hadley, the smiling. red.
checked New EngIander, faces the
hard task of maintaining his teams
winning streak, now at seven
straight, against Connie Mack's Ala
bastine Pachyderms today at the
Griffith Stadium. As the Phila-
delphia leader will probably shoot
either Howard Ehmke or old Jack
Quinn against the Griffs. Hadley's
Job looms up menacingly. But he
will have the girls back of him, this
being Ladies Day, and Is hopeful
Of hanging up a victory.
Goose Goslin was the white haired
boy to bring home the bacon yes
terday, his hit in the ninth scoring
Sam Rice with the deciding tally of
the 6-to'6 victory, the seventh in
succession for the Griffs. 1t was
the second defeat In a row for the
Mackmen and they were not elated
over it.
Going into the last Of the
ninth Rice singled to center.
Bucky Harris slapped q single

came Rice in o hurry, ending
the skirmish.
Lizzie Lisenbee showed poor form,
being derricked after the AS had
scored four runs on five hits ana
four passes in three innings. In
the first round passes to Bishop and
French, with hits by Lamar, Sim
mons and Dykes, sent two runs over
the pan. In the third pass to La
mar, with Simmons three-bagger
and Dykes single, accounted for two
more and ended Lisenbee's toll for
the day.
Meanwhile, the Griffs were not
standing still. Passes to Harris
and Speaker, a stolen base by
Harris and Perkins wild heave,
resulted in an unearned run IS
Goslin was forcing Speaker.

Leon Riley. former Alexandria
High School pitcher, who has been
working out with the Griffs for
several weeks, is expected to ac-
company the team on it's coming
Western tour. He will serve
largely as a hurler for the daily
batting drills.
Riley signed last summer with
Norfolk in the Virginia League,
but through some mistake, his
name did not appear on the re-
serve list Of the club. He has ap.
pealed to Secretary Farrell, Of the
Minor Leagues Association. asking
that he be declared free agent.
AS soon as his status is cleared. he
will sign a Washington contract
and start in to make good in
earnest as big Lacquer.
Bears antics in the batting
and fielding drills have i'm
pressed Manager Harris with
his possibilities, but the boss
believes Dear should acquire

ing rather than merely absorb.
ing baseball from nice, shiny
bench.
A major league club is permitted
to hold only eight players under
option and the Griffs' quota Is
filled. Just as soon as one Of the
eight can be given the air, Dear
will begin playing ball somewhere.
He is still too green for the big
show.
The Athletics have two more
games in this series and then the
Griffmen will begin battling the
champion Yankees. Sunday the
Yankees will be here for single
game, the last for the Capital un-
til July 26.
Because Of the Importance Of the
series, General Crowder will be
kept idle until Sunday when he
win oppose the Yankees in the
first Of the coming ur contests

Torrance in Boston has filled the
team with hope for the future.

of humus Lawns which are fcrti'
lized annually have an added advan-
tage in that the thrifty grass has
greater resistance to the incursionS of
dandelions and other weeds.
Fruit Trees i'm Sod
Frequently the home gardener may
desire to have the fruit trees serve
dual purpose, providing both shade
and fruit. In this case, the tree may
be planted in the back part of the
lawn, making ii very desirable to
maintain the grass sod. Such a prac-
tice is entirely practical within GER
tain limitations. During the first five
or six years a small circle of titled soil
must be maintained about the young
tree so that. the young root system
may have a chance to become eStab-
| lished. In competition with the grass
| the young tree Is quite apt to lose out
and become stunted and unthrifty
After this time the cultivation may
be given up but feeding must be con-
tinued. Some form of nitrogen, such
as nitrate of soda, ammonium sui
phate or sheep manure, will be needed
to keep the tree growing thriftily.
| Trees growing in soil sufficiently
fertile to stimulate good yearly growth
and rich green foliage will need little,
if any. fertilizer. However, such
situation is extremely rare in the
case of sod grown trees. More often
without nitrogen fertilizer the trees
make little growth, bear little fruit
and have yellow green leaves, outward
signs which are quite certain evidence
of lack of food. In mature trees of
bearing age making unsatisfactory
growth, as much as five pounds of
nitrate of soda may be safely and
heneficially used. The season of bud
expansion is the best time to apply
such fertilizer, scattering it on the
grass as far out as the branches ex-
| tend. An application of five pounds
of nitrate of soda. costing approx
mately 25 cents, is capable Of doubling
the yield of undernourished trees.
| Pruning of neglected trees must
accompany feeding to get the best
results. Once the tree Is restored to
a healthy vigorous condition the an
nual applications of fertilizer may be
| decreased On the average soil in this
vicinity large apple trees growing in
sod can scarcely fail to benefit by an
nual applications of these concen-
| trated plant foods.
