ASTER TROUBLES

The China aster Is undoubtedly one
o. the finest of the Summer Towering
ANNALS yet local. home gardeners
rarely attempt to grow this plant be-
cause of many failures. The seed ger
inmates readily and the young plants
start of promisingly only to turn yellow
and fail about time OF blooming. DR.:
Freeman Weiss of the Department OF
Agriculture states that there are two
principal causes OF aster failure. one
a fungous disease known as wilt and
the other a virus disease known as
yelloWs.
Considering the wilt disease first, 1t
over in the soil Obviously, seed dis
infection should come first and DR..
Weiss suggests mercury bichloride, one
ordinary drug store tablet to pint OF
water as satisfactory solution. The
seed should be soaked for one-haf hour
and then rinsed in fresh water. Va
rious organic mercury materials SOLD
under trade names are also effective.
Soil diSinfection Is not SO simple as IL
Is difficult to obtain satisfactory dis
persion of the disinfectant. Where one
has fair sized garden, it is simpler to
change the position OF the aster bed
from year to year.

trouble Presumably the causal virus
lives in many different daisy-like weeds
and Is readily transferred from these
weeds to garden asters by leaf hoppers.
Some of these weeds are perennial;
that is. live for several years and serve
as a permanent storage reservoir for
this virus. Hence, a program OF eradi-
cation of weeds in the borders and
fence rows should precede other meas
ures of control.
Lately one or two Of the agricultural
experiment stations have found that a
screen of coarse cheese cloth or very
fine wire placed about the beds will
practically isolate the asters from leaf
hoppers and yellows. There seemed to
be little need Of covering the top so
long as the walls were tight. The Wis
consin station has succeeded in develop
ing asters resistant to the first trouble
mentioned. wilt, and seed is now plenti-
full enough to be offered by certain
seed houses. With seed of resistant
types and barrier Of netting to ex-
clude leafhoppers. there is no reason
why asters should not be again utilized,
especially in urban gardens where the
weed menace Is much less than in the
country.

HAMAS NOW RATED
BEST YOUNG HEAVY
Fans Also Feel Loughran's
Days as FistiC Factor
Are at an End.
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, January l6.-The
faithful reluctantly gave ur
hope for an old favorite to-
day and turned to hail the new
burly Steve Hamas, most promising o1
all the young heavyweights.
Only Tommy Loughran and the
staunchest of his pals could insist to-
day that the end of the veterans f1stit
road was not in sight, brought suddenly
into focus by the crushing two-rounc
technical knockout inflicted on him bJ
Hamas in Madison Square Garden last
night.
Apparently Loughran's speed, that
once dazzled the light heavyweight di-
vision and kept him out harms way
when he graduated to the heavyweight
ranks, has disappeared suddenly, almost
over night. Only a few weeks ago
boxing under the handicap of g
wrenched ankle, Loughran fought one
Of the most brilliant battles Of his
career In thrashing Pauline Uzcudun
rugged, aggressive Spaniard.
Levinsky Defeat Hurts.
But two weeks later, seeming sud-
times by King Levinsky, the Chicago
wildman, and soundly beaten by
punches he would have laughed at in
the past. And Hamas, raging from the
opening gong completed the downfall
betting Tommy at will to floor him
twice before the referee intervened.
IT took the bout on short notice,
Tommy said today, "the articles were
signed only last Saturday. I had only
a couple Of days Of training. I'd like
to fight Hamas again. I'm not
through"
But is was Hamas today who had
changed the fight aspect and Offered
promise of unique career. The for
mer Penn State foot ball star Is the
first college graduate ever to reach the
ring prominence that such decisive
victory over Loughran brings.
A calm, quiet young man outside the
ring, Hamas has all the physical req
uisites to carry him to the top OF the
heavyweight list. He is a terrific
puncher with either hand, specializing
on short left hooks to the head and
body that have paved the way OF
brought about abruptly the "a knock
outs he has scored in 27 professional
victories. But he will not be rushed
into matches where he is outclassed.
Merely Beginner.
THAT was q nice victory" said his
manager, Charlie Harvey. But there's
no hurry. He needs a few more semi
finals before he's ready for the top
notchers."
Hamas' spectacular exhibition showed
into the background the aimleSs wan
derings of Max Schmeling and Mickey
Walker in search of spot to stage
their homeless and unwanted heavy
weight title match.
Walker was listening attentively today
to Madison Square Garden offers for
a bout here in February with JACK
Sharkey, whom he fought is rounds
to draw last Summer. 1t was under
stood that the only bar to the go was
the distance, Walker seeking 10 rounds
and Sharkey 15.
Schmeling planned to continue his
exhibition tour. He also has under
consideration an offer to play in q
moving picture in California. This
would force him to forego title de-
fense until Midsummer.

Proud Of having planned the

lage of Lake Placid turned out tonight
to participate In the dedication Of the

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE

For every time deuce is made the
lucky player collects himself dollar
from each of his fellow golfers and the
others have to listen to a lot of kidding
on their failure to knock the ball close
enough to the hole to sink it in 2.
All three are good putters and If any
or all them get the ball on the green
at a 1-Shot hole, they go hard for the
deuce. To date the honors are about
even, although Ed Eynon probably has
slight edge, for he is longer hitter
from the tee than the others and when
that eighth hole at Columbia IS played
for any man. So does the fourth.
If you want an education in birdie
seeking watch Clark Grifith and his
pals go after the deuces. They make
plenty Of 'em.
DROBABLY never before in the
L history of golf around Washington
has there been SO much play at
the local courses in the middle of
Winter as there has been this year. A
mild early Winter was climaxed during
The past week by temperatures reminis-
cent of late Spring, days when golfers
played in shirt sleeves over courses that
were in condition Just as good as they
were late in the Fall.
The only approach to the abnormal
conditions for golf prevailing this
Winter, according to the old timers,
came in the Winter of 19l7-l918 when
there were only three or four days too
cold or otherwise unfit for golf. As
soon as the snow fall of the past week
end vanished from the golf courses
about the Capital warm weather set in
and golfers f1ocked to take advantage
Of the favorable conditions.
The courses are soft on fairway and
putting green, but are in perfect con-
dition for Winter golf.
| MEANWHILE, however, anticipating
lV1 bad weather during that part OF
! the weather still to come, num-
Der of Washingtonians are planning
visits to Southern resorts in pursuit OF
the flying golf ball. A score or more
members of Columbia are planning TO
go South. while over at Washington a

looking forward to the Washington's

T%HAT enigma of the prize ring,

In the 10-round wind-up Of the Alex
andria Day Nursery boxing card at
Portner's Arena.
Washington fans may wonder why
Herman is called an enigma" by Bal
timore followers of the roped arena.
In two appearances here he has
knocked out a former light-heavyweight
champion of the world. Paul Berlen-
bach, and gave Reds" Barry one of the
most sensational heavyweight tussles
ever witnessed here, after having Barry
on the floor for nine.
Frankie Rice, Weiners handler, claims
Herman cannot box before home town
crowd and give his best. They always
are on his neck, declares the veteran
manager.
There may be great deal in what
Rice says, for Herman has appeared
title caliber on every occasion before a
Washington audience.
Gallagher has been promised some
good matches If he defeats Weiner. On
the other hand 1t Is the intention of
Rice to build Weiner up right here in
this vicinity where he has done his best.
Local boxing fans should be given a
run for their money when these scrap
pers climb through the ropes to do
battle. Both Weiner and Gallagher are
strong boys, and Matchmaker frankie
Mann made the distance two rounds
longer than the general run OF bouts
of Windup caliber staged so far.
Billy Schwartz, who had the mis-
fortune of having a blood vessel broken
in his face against Bob Goodwin re-
Gently, will try a comeback when he
stacks UP against Eric Lawson in the
semi-windup, scheduled for eight

Lawson has defeated "Reds" Barry,

Rattle Kichline and Spike Webb. He
