BATTERIES

WRIGLEY FIELD, Chicago, Oct. 8.-Before crowd estimated at 50,- 900, the Philadelphia Athletics won the opening of the 1929 World Baseball Series, defeating the Cups by a score of 3 to i. The issue was in doubt until the final inning when two hits and two errors gave the American League champions a brace of tallies which proved to be decisive.
 Howard Ehmke, veteran righ t handler of the Athletics, justified his unexpected selection by Mana ger Connie Mack He hurled el- most unbeatable ball, and 1t wassa until the ninth that the Cubs wse able to shove runner efoSs 8s plate.
 Ehmke Fans ThirtP-n
 Although the National League champions registered eighb saleties. one a two-bagger off him, Emhke had the Cub sluggers eating out of his hand like trained bears rather than like the wild crew that walked off with the honors in the National League. He set new World Se- ries' record by striking cut 13 men.
 And he didn't pick the easy ones in making this mark. He opened the second inning by retiring Riggs Stephenson and Hazen Cuyler on strikes. He kept that pace up i.i the third when the Cubs loomed dangerous.
 Root opened for them by fam ming. McMillan singled to center field. English smashed the pill to the right garden for two bases and 50000 Cub partisans shook the stands as McNIillan drew up at third and English at second.
 Fans Great Hornsby
 Things didn't look any too rosy for Ehmke and Connie Mack's crew with Hornsby and Hack Will son next in line. But Ehmke was equal to the task. He famed Hornsby for the second out And Wilson. who with Hornsby has been among the most feared batters on the Cub club, likewise was retired on strikes To show it wasn't a flash in the pan, Ehmke opened the fourth frame by flaming Cuyler.
 The Athletic pitcher was at top form in the fifth and sixth frames when he retired five men on strikes. Root was the first victim to his cunning, the second out in the fifth. McNdillan succumbed in the same manner, ending the inning. English opened the sixth and met the same fate. And then Hornsby and Wilson fell for the second suc- cessive times.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The su- preme court opened it's regular fall term yesterday with further re- duction from former years in tne number of cases docketed and an almost complete absence of contro versies of national importance be- fore it.
 Probably the most important is- sue is presented by the federal ra- dio commission, a comparatively new government body which has not had it's powers defined by the highest tribunal.
 The question is important for broadcasting stations as well as fir the public. It comes to the su- preme court through the medium of station WGY at Schnectady, broad casting time of which restricted by the commission. The station ap- pealed to the District of Colum- bia court and received an order under which it has continued to operate on a full-time basis. The commission petitioned for a re- view.
 Prohibition cases which formerly occupied numerous places on the docket, have fallen off consider ably as nearly every ramification of the dry laws has been disposed of by opinion or by the refusal Cf the court to grant petitions for }. view.
 There are several controversies between states. The state of New Jersey seeks to prevent New York from tapping the headwaters i the Delaware river and from dump- ing refuse into the Atlantic off the New Jersey shore, and also asks the boundary line with Delaware be changed to mid-channel of the Delaware river and bay instead of at the low water mark on the Jer- sey shore.
 Vermont and New Hampshire, Texas and Oklahoma, and Louisi- ana and Mississippi are involved in other boundary disputes Water rights issues have been raised oy Colorado against Kansas; by Con- necticut against Massachusetts, and between the Federal Government and Utah.
 Other questions presented in- clude:
 The validity of Nebraska's order that railroad build a private crossing for a farmer.
 The validity of reduced rates on California's deciduous fruits.
 The right of the Federal Trade Commission to control the use of descriptive names as trade names.
 The constitutionality of the Mis- souri law prohibiting screens which do not allow view from the side walk into certain stores.
 The constitutionality of the Lou isiana law prohibiting animal rac- ing on tracks less than one mile in length.

BELIZE, Oct. 8.-COl. Charles
 A Lindbergh, seeking ancient
 Maya ruins, today brought his
 plane down with rare skill in
 the midst of the Yucatan jun
 gle on a small green -watered
 pool.
 He and his bride inflated
 rubber boat and chopped their
 way through the weeds and
 reached shore where they
 looked for relies of a lost civil
 lization.
 Mrs. Lindbergh served the
 party at luncheon. At last
 reports the searchers had been
 unable to find ruins.
 Having conquered the air for Commerce, Col. Charles A. Lind- bergh has turned to archaeology and he is studying that from the air.
 With Dr. Oliver Ricketson of the Carnegie Institute as his guide, Col. Lindbergh is operating from Belize, British Honduras, on a three day flight over the Yucatan Peninsula. He hopes to discover in these three days more ruins than have the ground archeologists in their years of slow carving through the jungles.
 According to Associated Press dispatches to The Empire, Col. Lindbergh on the first day flight discovered ruins of large ruined city hitherto unknown to scienti Sts. He also discovered the first Yucatan settlements and primitive villages of the primitive race. When the natives saw his plane they fled in all directions.
 When the ancestors of most of us were living in caves and wear ing animal skins, a remarkable civ- ilization was developing in what IS now the Central American benin. sula. The Maya Indians had thriv- ing cities and handsome buildings, a culture rivaling that of the Az tees to the north of them.
 The Mayas were subjected by the Spaniards and their cities were de serted. Eventually North American and European archeologists found traces of them and began explora- tion, but their progress through the wild country was pitifully slow.
 With the airplane, Col. Lindbers q and Dr. Ricketson expect to find long forgotten cities hitherto ua- known. from the air can be seen contours of the earths surface that elude the most diligent ob- server on the ground. Even in England aerial observers have found ancient Roman mounds that had escaped searchers for centuries.
 Col. Lindbergh flew over numer- ous ruins on his first goodwill flight to Latin-America and was attracted by them. His interest IL archaeology was heightened las summer when he made aerial pbc- tographic studies of Pueblo ruins in New Mexico.
 The flight is sponsored by the Carnegie institution of Washing ton and Pan-American Airways, Inc, of New York. The aviation company announces that photo graphs of ruined cities, and map ping of their location by compass, will enable land parties to explore them in much less time than would be required in a blind search.
 The company believes also that great inter-city highways used by the Mayas centuries ago. may De

THICK GRASS STAND
: KEEPS DOWN WEEDS

The best remedy for a weedy
lawn is thick turf of thrifty
grass. Lawns that have become
quite weedy can he rather quickly
rejuvenated by the use of fertilizer
and generous sprinklings. If the
grass is kept thick from the begin
ming, weed seeds will have small
chance of becoming established.
In feeding the lawn to keep it
in thrifty condition, sulphate Of
amonia is one of the best fertil-
izers that can be used here in the
northwest. This chemical tends to
produce an acid condition in the
soil and is at the same time a
source Of nitrogen for the grass.
Broad leaved weeds, such as dam
delions and plantain do not thrive
in acid soils. The use of this nitro
gen fertilizer is, therefore, of par
ticular value.
Most grasses will thrive in an
acid soil. This is particularly true
of Rhode Island Bent and other
Bent grasses. These grasses also
make a very fine lawn, and be-
cause they are adapted to soul
soils, which are unfavorable to the
weeds, are recommended. Even the
Kentucky Bluegrass, which is 8
very popular lawn grass, is quite
tolerant Of acid conditions.

of sulphate of ammonia to each
thousand square feet Of lawn will
lprovide the nitrogen needed for the
grasses and help them crowd out
the weeds and moss. 1t comes in
fine granular form and can be dis
tributed by hand. 1t should be APP
piled fairly early in the spring be-
fore the rainy season is over, and
where sprinkling can be done, a
econd application later in the sum-
mer will be valuable.
Where there are few weeds in
the lawn, they may be dug out.
This operation usually weakens the
dandelion and plantains, but they
frequently come back with two or
three crowns where there was one
before.
During the past few years It
has been found out that some OF
the CELEBRATES are very effective in
destroying weeds. Probably the
most suitable for lawns is the one
known as Altacide. 1t is a granu-
! lar powder and can be sprinkled
directly on the foliage of the plant
or a one to ten solution made and

MORE AND BETTER FRUIT
FROM FEWER APPLE TREES

Dr williams A.. Taylor, chief o
the bureau of plant industry Il
tbe United States department o
aoricu1ture, in radio address re
GENTLY made certain suggestions t
ample growers, the general obser
vance Of which he believes essen
tial to the well-being of the appl'
industry. His suggestions were:
stabilize annual production an,
Improve average quality by bette
culture, pruning and pest control
eliminate from commercial or
chards as rapidly as practical var
ieties of inferior quality and unat
tractive appearance.
Refrain from planting addition
Ial acreage, except of most desirable
varieties on sure-crop sites where
production costs are low or narke'
quality unusually high.
"Grade rigidly, handle carefully
/ pack tight, store promptly, sell Ell
fectively. :.
/ "For the smale-scale grower n
the more important producing dis
tricts. this last item may sound
like cooperation. That is, in fact
what is indicated in many sections
as the best bet in apple market
ing"
Doctor Taylor called attention to
developments along these lines in
the last 20 years. Comparing pres
emit conditions with those of 1910,
he said; "There are about a third
fewer trees of bearing age now,
and there are only about half as
many young trees in orchards not
of bearing age as there were in
1870"
This has not caused a decline in
apple production, he said. It has
resulted in more concentrated pro-
duction in favored localities and on
smaller acreages. Many trees have
been replaced or top-worked with
more desirable varieties. Bearing
trees are getting better care and
more intelligent attention. The far
mer who once had a few trees that
were hardly worth the trouble"
and who marketed a few bushels
of apples, many worm eaten or
poorly developed, is now more like
ly to have the orchard in some
other crop, and may be buying his
apples. The apple growers, who
are maintaining their orchards are
getting, as a rule, more fruit and
better quality fruit from their
trees.

MOTH TRAPS VALUABLE
AID TO FRUIT GROWERS

The use of the moth trap as 8
means of indicating the number Of
moths present in the orchard and
the use of this information in the
application of the sprays can hard
|ly be over estimated. Earlier in the
season, fruit growers were advised
to put up from six to twenty-five
traps in their orchards depending
some what on the size of the or.
lchard and the severity of the infes.
tation last year. We still feel that
the use of the moth traps is one
of the most profitable expenditures
of time and money that the farmer
can make if the information gained
from the use of the traps is fol
lowed up. A number of farmers
have called us asking for informa-
ton regarding spraying, but from
information that we have avail
able, the only recommendation that
can be made is to cover the or
chard once every ten days where nc
check has been made on the moth
activities. The horticultural inspec-
ton service is following up the
moth situation more closely by the
operation of traps in the various
communities and this information
should be of assistance to those who
are not using the traps. We believe
however, that the use of few
traps in each orchard even at this
period of the year, should give the
owner information which can not
be gotten in any other way and
would still recommend the use of
at least few traps to get at the
actual situation there.
The Diamalt syrup is probably
one of the best bats for these
traps and should be diluted with

lasses, especially beet molasses, IS

ite mans six to seven inches IN dla-
meter and three to four inches deep
make Efficient containers for this
work especially where a three way
bail is arranged on them. One OF
the best means that we have seen
of supporting the trap is to use
prop mailing it to branch rather
high in the tree with one nail and
having the other end resting in a
small depression in the ground. A
wire loop large enough to just
catch the pan underneath the rim
with the ends twisted and each end
of the wire then being bent so as
to staple it to the prop at the top
and allow. the loop to rest horizon
tally, is good method of support
ing the traps. With the three wire
bail, the trap may then be taken
down with a wire hook attached to
the end Of a small pole without
very much danger of spilling or
loss Of time. Some have used stays

from old wooden pipes for this pur-
pose.
We believe that every grower
should make a special effort to
have few traps in his orchard SO
that spraying can be done if the
flight of moths indicate their pres
ence. Those who are maintaining
continuous spray program would
probably need moth traps less than
any one else.
