REWARD PROBABLE FOR JAIL INMATES
Parole Considered as, Prisoners
 Battle Bad Blaze

Boston, July 16 UP)-Freedom on parole loomed today as a possible reward for several of 400 prisoners who late yesterday battled a threat ening fire which caused $100.0G0 damage to the Suffolk county house of correction on Deer Island in Bos- ton harbor.
 While firemen were being hurried to the scene in boats from Boston and Winthrop. large portion of the 713 inmates did everything possible in a vain attempt to save what was known as the old prison building, four-story brick structure on the west side of the island.
 Sixty-two long term prisoners were at work in the cutting room in the building in which the fire origi- mated. They were transferred under guard to another building.
 The combined forces of tireboats and land apparatus rushed to the scene from shore prevented the wind whipped flames from engulfing the modern section of the jail. Prls- oners with absolute disregard for danger, made many trips into the blazing structure to remove a large quantity of furniture.
 Forty policemen were sent to the island from Boston in the fear that some of the prisoneres might take advantage of the excitement to at tempt to escape No such attempt was made. however.
 Two fremen were slightly injured while fighting the fire. cause Of which has not been determined.

ures. At the rear of the fountain
rises a stone shaft more than forty
feet high surmounted by globe of

appears the statue of Columbus who
is represented as standing on the
prov of q vessel with arms folded,
looking out over the waters through
which his little ship is sailing. The
figurehead of the ship is female

cry, and Immediately below it is the
great basin of the fountain.
On either side of the shaft are mas
sive figures portraying the New and
Old world-the New, by the figure of
an American Indian, reaching over his
shoulder for an arrow from his quiv-
er, and the Old, by the figure of a
patriarchal Caucasian, heroic in ply
sique and thoughtful in mien. The
globe at the top of the shaft repre-
sents the influence of Columbus on
the growth of mans knowledge of the
shape Of the earth. Supporting it are
four American eagles standing at the
corners at the top of the shaft with
wings partially extended.

Practical Way to Keep
Up Small Farm Orchard

This is the season when many of
us wonder whether to cut down the
old apple trees in the back yard or
farm orchard or whether to really
take them in hand and help them to
produce decent fruit. We really should
do one or the other, says writer in
the Illinois Farmer. Unsprayed, un-
pruned neglected fruit trees are dis
appointment and an irritation to the
owner and. d source of disease and
insect infestation to the orchards of
neighbors who do care for their trees.
Little fault can be found with the
busy man on the average farm beset
with surplus of work and shortage of
help if he fails to take time to spray
a few trees at the periods required for
effectiveness The farm spray ring is
the only practical. way we know to
maintain the small farm orchard.
Many communities have such Or
CARNATIONS and those communities al
ways seem to have local supply of
good apples. Most of these spray
rings are operated by farm bureau or
CARNATIONS. 1t is no heavy financial
burden for a dozen or twenty farmers
to provide equipment and materials
for proper spraying and employ man
to do the job at the time 1t should be
done, while it is usually out Of the
question for one farmer with 10 to so
trees to do the same thing individually.

An even greater memorial to Colum.
bus than any which has yet been
erected will some day be landmark
in land intimately connected with
the history of the great explorer. For
the nations of the two Americas are
planning to cooperate in honOring him
with the erection of a. four-million dol
lar lighthouse as a beacon for navi-
gators of both the sea and air, in the
capital of Santo Domingo, the land
which Columbus called Hispaniola. A
tract of $500 acres of waterfront land
has been set aside by the Dominican
republic for pan-American park in
which the lighthouse is to be built
and money has been appropriated for
this republics share of the cost of the
memorial. Appropriation bills for
that purpose have already been intro
duced in the United States, Cuba and
other Latin-American countries. BIZ
nancing of the project, which is being
carried forward under the auspices of
the Pan-American Union, is reported
to be in an advanced stage with its
success assured and the next step will
be an architectural contest in which
the leading architects of the world will
be invited to submit designs.

Baseball Talent Very
Difficult to Determine

Judging baseball talent is difficult.
No manager has ever shown perfect
judgment. Managers are lucky if they
are correct more than ,one-half the
time they guess.
John Joseph McGraw, the manager
with the best record ever made in the
major leagues, has been wrong on nu-
merous occasions. His mistakes have
cost him a fortune for he frequently
had to buy back, at a high figure, a
player whom he had practically given
away to a rival club.
Winter before last McGraw traded
Rogers Hornsby to Boston and Bur-
leigh Grimes to Pittsburgh. H0rnsby,
in the uniform of the Braves, led the
National league in batting and Grimes,
in the uniform of the Pirates, won %
games last season. Il

Declares Weak Pitching
Causes Liberal Scoring

President Thomas ]. Hickey, of the
American association, believes weak
pitching is more responsible for high
scoring in games than the lively" ball,
and produces figures in substantiation.
American association records for the
season up TO July II show that 33
shut-outs had occurred, Al games in
which one club scored but one run, 6S
games in which one club scored but
two runs, and only "a games in which
one club has scored ten or more times
81 believe pitching has more to do
with high scoring" Hickey said, 10Th
erwise il would have been difficult for
the league to have played 80 games in
which only one team scored notice
that whenever we get good pitching
the lively ball does not seem to cut
any figure"
