Associated Press Sports Triter)
 NEW YORK, April 23-Regard- less of what happens in baseball this season. historians of the same are assured of one live paragraph, perhaps a chapter.
 For Judge Emil Fuchs, owner and President of the Boston Braves, is determined to make his debut as the only big league manager in history who never played professional base ball.
 And if elaborate preparations mean anything, the good judge should not fail. He has surrounded himself with pretentious staff of assistants and advisers, both in &C., tive players and coaches.
 Chief among these are Johnny Evers, Hank Gowdy and Rabbit Maranville, all of whom have seen managerial duty. These three men make up in playing experience for what the Judge lacks. The three together have played 43 years in the majors.
 Evers, a 16-year man, served brief periods as manager of the Braves, Cubs and White Sox.
 Maranville, with Is years of big league playing credit in his record, a few years ago tried his hand at r111a7air,o thn (,,.oc
 GoWdy, once one of the best catchers in the National League, played 12 years under the big top, and had one years experience in managing the Columbus Club in the American Association.
 In addition to these veterans, Judge Fuchs has other seasoned men to help him guide the Braves. They are George Sisler, long major league star, who formerly managed the St. Louis Browns; Fred Mitchell, business manager of the club and formerly manager of the Cubs and Braves, and Jack Slattery, coach, who began the 1928 season as pilot of the Braves.
 It would seem, then, that if it is advice the Judge needs, he will know where to find it.

GOLF GAME GAINS SPEED
 ATLANTA OBSERVER SAYS

ATLANTA, April 23.-Golf, like everything else, gets faster as the years go by.
 o. B. Keeler, Atlanta expert, es- inmates the mems game is ten strokes better than it was IS years ago and he says the women have progressed even faster than that.
 Fifteen years ago the medal for the qualifying round in the south ern amateur championship was won with a card of 82- over the East Lake course here. A fine field competed.
 In the north and south open at Pinehurst last month no less than five players-in no better field, comparatively speaking, than the one at East Lake in 1915-shot 72 or better on a much harder course than the Atlanta layout.

Trees to Be Saved
 In New Oil Fields

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. April 23-Oil operators in the new fields opened south of this city have signed an agreement to leave stand ing every possible tree.
 Part of the area is thickly wood cd with oaks, oceans and persim- mons. Heretofore it has been the practice of oil companies to clear a road along the most direct route for it's traffic and pipelines, with the result that many trees are felled.
 Wirt Franklin, Chairman of the Operators Oil Conservation Com mittee, who promoted the agree ment, says that so far as is known this is the first instance in which oil companies have cooperated for the protection of timber.

ports the assembly reelected a number
of board members and named alternates

BULLETIN READERS
Connecticut Farmers Lead Every
Other State in the Union

A greater percentage of Connecti-
cut farmers receive bulletins from
state agricultural colleges and expert
ment stations and find information of
value in these bulletins than do farm
ers Of any other state in the union,
the National Fertilizer Association
has concluded following the compile
ton of a national survey.
During the survey, representatives
of the Association interviewed 727
farmers in Connecticut and learned
that Of these. 76.i per cent receive
bulletins from the state agricultural
college and experiment stations and
57.6 per cent find information of
value IN these bulletins. These per-
centages are higher than the percent
ages of any individual state or of the
country as a whole
The survey further reveals that of
the farmers receiving such bulletins
in Connecticut, 90.s per cent read
the bulletins.
