Argentines May Visit.
TT IS related unoficially that Argen-
tina will send polo team to the
United States next Summer for a
series, to be played at Onwentsia, in
Chicago. The Argentine team will in
clude three Reynal brothers, and Man
uel Andrada. 1t is likely the United
States will send Smith, Hitchcock. Boe-
seke and Roard against the Southern
ers and the result should be one of the
greatest polo spectacles ever staged.
The three Reynal brothers have played
together for some years, while Andrada
is one of the best backs in the game.
Raymond Griffith, one Of the coasts
best players, advises me that the Ar
gentines are certain to win the series.
But I'll stick with Cecil Smith, the
Texas cowpuncher, who started riding
in Llano and wound up at Meadow
brook.

lures that 1919 brought out.
- The Babe had a series OF night
mares trying to hit the fastbreaking
curves of Ferdie Schupp on his way
rorth. The giant left-hander had Ruth
padding the ozone most of the time
from the Florida training camp up.
There also is the picture OF BOBBY
Jones facing Dave Heron at Oakmont
in his first national final.
Bobby then was II. In his over
his backswing through that match was
about IS per cent faster than 1t had
beer all week. He still was cropping for
the mental poise and control that came
at q, to stay. Heron played h!gh-class
golf. but the 17-year-old Georgian was
overkeen.
There also is the picture Of Til
den from I919-the day he met Little
Bill Johnston at Forest Hills.
Big Bill on that occasion was ex-
tremely nervous and restless, while
Johnston looked to be completely at
ease-as cool as cucumber segment
on ice. This was before the game.
Johnston was master OF the match
most of the way, winning, as ! recall
the details, in four sets.
! From that point on it was Big Bill
who had the GOODNESS and the con-
fidence. even against one OF the best
netmen of all time.
1t is amazing to think of all the
tennis Tilden has played since that day
without losing any Of his speed, stamina
or skill-certainlv nothing in the way

Big Jess crumpled up again, falling like
a giant oak in the path OF the ak.
Dempsey still had enough left to step
round against Max Schmeling last
Summer and another against Max
Baer.
But the old leg action began to
slip and creak and sag some time
ago.
1t would be interesting to see what
Dempsey could do today with Tilden's S
legs. Tilden has travelled 10 miles to
Dempsey's / along the ground and ne

pens to have one of the most unusual
sets of legs ever known to sport.
The year 1884 has more than bow
to offer 1919. There isn't much active
time left for the contributors OF that
earlier day, but one remarkable feature
is the part they still play In the pro-
eram Of the year ahead.

GROWERS SHOULD WATCH OUT
FOR STEM ROT IN SELECT
ING POTATOES

Maryland potato growers are
warned to be careful in selecting
swee, potato seed so as not to get
tubers infected with stem rot disease,
ACCORDING to DR.. r. A. Jehle, Spec
ialist in plant pathology for the Uni
versity of Maryland Extension Ser
vice He points out that this disease
is one of the most destructive known
and that careful seed selection can
go far to reduce its ravages. Other
Helpful precautions are crop rota-
ton, as the disease is known to live
over winter in the soil, and plant
treatment.
One of the worst features of the
disease, according to DR., Jehle, is
that it often retards growth of the
potato to medium size-a size which
is most popular among growers for
seed purposes. Hence, it is of ex-
IRENE Importance that the grower
determine beforehand whether the
seed he has selected is diseased. The
disease usually attacks the stem, the
part of the plant which conducts
food and water between leaves and
root, and turns the leaves yellow
and stem black, just beneath the
surface of the skin.
To insure getting good, healthy
seed the grower should set aside a
certain section of the field from
which to select seed, says DR.. Jehle.
After the roots have been plowed up,
the central stem, which bears the
punches of sweet potatoes, should be
split open for inspection. If the
kstem is a rich yellow or orange color
Inside and is not discolored in any
way it is safe to say the attached POI
tatoes will be free of stem rot.
However, if the stem shows any sign
of black or brown discoloration be-
meath the skin the potatoes should
not be used for seed.
Varieties which seem particularly
susceptible to stem rot are the Little
stem Jersey. Cedarville. and Nancy
Hall. Any further information re-

CHEVROLET FOUR-DooR SEDAN

For the first time since Chevrolet
added the Standard six in 1888, a
four-door five passenger sedan is now
scheduled in it's lower priced line.
In announcing the new model as an
addition to the 1884 Standards,
Chevrolet Motor Company declares
it to be the lowest priced four-door
sedan in the field of skies and Fights.
Its list price is $40, of 500 under
the Master four-door sedan.
The major new feature in styling
is the treatment of the rear end,
where the body panels extend low in
an unbroken contour to cover the
back of the chassis. This construc-
ton does away with the rear cross
member cover, and provides a
smooth, sweeping effect. The rear
tire carrier and the rear bumper
supports extend through openings in
the body panel, as does the gasoline
tank filler-neck,
Comfort for rera seat passengers
is improved by provision for extra
leg room, the back of the front seat
being deeply recessed, giving plainly
of space for a built-in foot rest.
Maximum elbow room is obtained by
means of deep recesses in the sides
of the body above large arm rests.
A capacious pocket in the back of the
front seat is an added convenience.
Upholstery is of mohair material of
new shade and texture, set off by
harmonizing head-Iining.
Equipment features include an adj
Unstable sun-shade at the drivers
seat, button type latches for locking
all doors, dome light, and rear win
dow curtain.
The front doors are equipped with
no draft venti-panes, fitted with ex-
terror rain shields

that only under the most exceptional
circumstances can their presence be

Pedestrians, he said, "can see

should govern their actions accord

lie that the lights are of little value
to the motorists in discerning OBJ

principal value of headlamps in fog
is to warn of vehicles approach.

themselves on knowing every inch
of the highways over which they
travel frequently, and who, in conse-
quence, are apt to drive faster than
conditions warrant. Drivers in this
class fail to take into account the
possibility of disabled cars being
parked along the highway. Another
great danger is the absence of tail
lights ON moving vehicles, or the
confusion, leading to erratic driving,
of operators unaccustomed to the
road.
Drivers of horse-drawn vehicles
should not, under any circumstances
venture on fog-bound roads without
lights on their vehicles. A motor
car travelling at the most moderate
speed will quickly overtake a horse
drawn vehicle, and unless there is
adequate warning by means of lights
accident is almost inevitable"

HOW ONE FARMER
/ HELPED HIMSELF

! A farmer accustomed to keeping
records found that 1t cost $3.50 to
produce an acre of corn. His average
yield was 80 bushels, selling for so
cents per bushel. On this basis he was
producing without either profit or loss.
A study of his costs indicated means
by which the yields might be increased
without proportional expenses. BY maxi
ing use Of facts discovered at the Ex-
pertinent Stations. the farmer secured
an increased yield of four and one-halfI
bushels per acre (371k bushels. instead
Of SS). By increasing the yield and
holding down expenses, this farmeri
was able to make a profit Of six cents
per bushel.

COUPLE NARROWLY ESCAPE
DEATH FROM ESCAPING GAS

Gas from hot water heater in the
residence of Carl Wade, 2914 Clinton
Ave-, almost proved fatal to Mr.. Wade
and his wife, Mrs. Wade, several days
ago. In the afternoon of the day in
question, both Mr.. Wade and his wife
began to grow drowsy. Only tie p es-
ence of Frank Batrum, friend, pre-
vented them from dropping eff to
sleep.
Discover Leaking Gas
Being unable to account for the
drowsiness, Wade, just as he started
to lie down, thought of his gas heater
in the basement. He stumbled to his
feet and opened the basement door.
The fumes were then more noticeable.
He Immediately felt his way to the
windows and opened wide every win
dow in the house.
Mr.. Wade recovered from the effects
of the gas in few hours, but Mrs.
Wade had to be put in bed where
she remained for one day.
