Odds Are IS

NEW YORK. Aug 31-Folks
whose interest in athletic contests
is confined chiefly 20 cash laid on
the line may be interested 10 know
that ODDS Of Z 20 are be-
ing laid that Mickey Cochrane and
his Bengal cats viii take the world
champion New YORK Giants IN the

The odds may appear not only too
long. but premature. considering
that neither Detroit nor New York
has been officially invited 10 take
part. The Yankees and Cubs are
still turning ont IN uniform and go

Hitting .3O5 Pace
However. j may do no harm 20
peer AZ the comparative records Of
the Tigers and Giants. Detroit ap-

Tigers arc hitting at 305 clip-a
remarkable average for any club,
and far in advance Of either con-
testant in last years series. The
Giant batting average IS .287, eight
cen points behind.
Last year the champion Giants
went into the big series with a bat
ting record Of 263. twenty-fOur
points behind the Senators. who
we're hitting at 237. The Giants, 1t
may be recalled, won the series.
In fielding averages the Tigers
show a definite edge They have
been officially accused Of ID bum
plays, and their average Is .974. The
Giants have committed lat fOOzles
for a mark of $40.
Morale Counts Much
Probably the most significant edge
the Tigers have is IN morale.
Mickey Cochrane has his boys
hustling along like a Kiwanis mem

Yesterday the Tigers gave Cleve-
land a smacking around TO inaugu-
rate their stay at League park. Held

On adjoining place, are told, lived,

President Woodrow Wilson according to re-
ports frequently visited Terrace Heights to
joy the distant view down the river from It's
wide porches, and at one time even contem-
plated buying it and making it his home.
This reminds the writer of another house in
Georgetown where President was a guest for
brief while, and which only lately came into
the limelight as the Little Red House.

Gen. Grant and Gen. Halleck were warm

latter in Office when he was made lieutenant

to have altered their friendly relations in the

here, but was his guest for a while The city

was likely relative of Mrs. Grant, there is
double reason why We should believe that Gen.
Grant stopped there upon several occasions at
least.
Col. John A. Joyce, the poet, who wrote for
The Star for many years, lived in this attractive
old residence, and here Mrs Joyce died. When
Col Joyce passed away, they took his remains a

thuSiastic over Cox's row, of which No. 1887
is the second house from the corner of Thirty
fourth street, a row of five 3-story brick

This row of houses was built by Col. John

Baltimore, took him to rear.
He early came to Georgetown and there married
Matilda Smith, whose brother, Clement Smith.

Hog Slaughter Blanks
From County Agent

Through the cooperating Of John C.
Bowen, Collector Of Internal Reve-
nues, we have just received a supply
of two forms on which farmers may
report slaughter of hogs. One of these
forms is for cases where the process
or slaughters and sells and the 9th
er where the professor slaughters
hogs for own use and wishes to claim
exemption, County Agent E. c. Dur
die says.
We do not think it wise to distrib-
ute these generally to hog producers
of the county but feel that it would
be better in view Of the fact that we
do not have a large supply Of the
forms, that hog producers when they
wish these blanks write to the county
agent for these forms. Farmers who
slaughter hogs where they are sold
must report to the Bureau of Inter-
nal Revenue and the responsibility for
doing this rests upon the farmer.
We also have available a circular
outlining practices to be followed in
regard to the processing tax On hogs.
So far as available these will be dis
tributed to the hog growers Of the
county. at the corn-hog meetings to
be held this week.

HORT SCHOOLS
ADVISE STAYING
WITH PROGRAM
No New Ways to Beat Spraying
Methods; Advise Orchard
Cover Crops; Large Attend
ance at Meetings

While attendance at the horticul-
tural schools last week was not overly
large the attendance was keen. Total
attendance at the first three days of
the school ran up to approximately
1876. These first three days were
held at White Bluffs, Richland, and
Kennewick. The largest attendance
was at the Kennewick meeting.
Very briefly the subject presented
by the various specialists was along
the following lines: Mr.. Vincent, pro-
fessor of horticulture at the State
College presented the recommends
tons of those working closest to the
problems of codling moth control and
residue removal. Emphasis was laid
upon the use of tried remedies for the
following of the recommendations of
these specialists working close to
the problem rather than any attempt
to take anything that came from the
outside without it's having been given
at least a fair trial. The use of arse
nate of lead and either fish oil or
mineral oil was stressed as still the
best control for the codling moth as
well as removal of residue at wash
ing time. While there are some pos
slbiEties of development in the near
future of better spray recommends
tons than we now have the situation
does not warrant the acceptance of
other than standard recommendations
at this time, according to Mr.. Vincent.

IN which the use of the tandem wash

sillleate seems to be getting the best

CWA Men Come Back
to City Project Friday

Twenty men are expected to go to
work on the Garden Tracts drainage
ditch project Friday morning, &C.
cording to word received by Mayor A.
C. Anon Wednesday as a result of
a meeting held in the Chamber of
Commerce rooms Sunday afternoon,
when protests at the ALLEGATION Of

iects were heard by the welefare
board.
Ten days ago all workmen from
the city projects which included the
drainage district in the Garden
Tracts street repair work We're re-
moved and put on county road work
on The Horn road.
This left the city with torn up
streets and deep ditch along the

in danger of cave-ins. All project
managers were heard at the Sunday
meeting and Mayor Anon believes
there will be an adjustment made of
the workmen, He stated Kennewick's
allotment was 40 men and at the
time they were withdrawn he had 33
men working.
