and personally operated several
other yachts besides the

"Hit her over the fence,

The smart folk in the grand
stand joined in the din until
the noise was actually appa!l-
ing.
Chamberlain pitched. Ewing
swung from the Shoetops. There
was a crack Of wood against
leather in the instant's cesSa-
ton of bedlam. and the ball
sailed toward the distant wall.
Old-timers say that there was
never a hit to match it; that
even the longest Of Ruth's was
no longer than that. 1t is a
matter of conjecture, of course
E. no one will ever be able to
say definitely. But, for dra-
matte value, as we'll as power,
there never was a homer more
vital than the one Buck Ewing
hit then.
Broke Browns Hearts
It broke the heart of the
Browns. They played very lit
tie ball afterward. and we're
swept into the oblivion Of de-
feat.
For timelinesS, though, Frank
Baker deserves more than pass
ing notice for his work in the
world series of 1911. 20 years
after Buck Ewing made his IT,

Mathewson had beaten Ben
der, 2-1, in the opener. Mar.
guard, was in against Plank
in the second game, and,
with two out in the sixth, the
Trappe farmer belted one over
the right field wall for the win
ming counters.
Big Six was very sarcastic
about his young teammate
pitching a ball like that to
Baker, and made mention of it
in his syndicated articles. Next
day Mathewson was on the hill
again. He had been widely
quoted as saying that a pitcher
who would give a curve ball in
side to a fellow like Baker
didn't have enough sense to be
in fast company.
Makes Same Mistake
Until the ninth inning the
Giants led. Then, with one
strike and two balls on the
homerun king of the American
League, Matty pitched a curve
inside and Frank hoiSted it over
the wall. That tied the score,
and in the eleventh inning, err
rors by Fletcher and Herzog lost
the game.
I wasn't around when Buck
Ewing hit his gargantuan wal
lop. But I was old enough for
the Baker pyrotechnics. They
were worth seeing and worth
writing about, but I'm quite
sure Frank never could hit a
ball as hard as Ruth did in his
prime, and it doesn't seem reas-
enable that Ewing could, either.
Ruth has lost some of that
uncanny faculty. Last season
he was taking as hefty a cut as
he ever did, but only occasional
ly did he get hold of the ball
as was his custom in other DAYS.
When he did it travelled just as
far. Since Ruth has slipped,

there are such acute economic problems

that around fifty thousand dollars of the

nently.
Is the existence of this small minority OF

thew are not interested in moral conditions
or social conditions in their own county,
what about economic and financial condl-
tions? Are they willing to be burdened
forever with the heavy cost of the criminal
classes? This amounts to much more than
the cost of law enforcement and the courts.
Many times this amount is lost annually
through the depradations of the lawless,
not to mention the constant menace 20
safety of the lives and property of all good
citizens.
The criminal classes could be cleared out
of Henderson county-by the combined et-
forts of the law enforcement officers, the
courts and good citizens-but this would
require organization, cooperation, ana
eternal vigilance on the part of all opposed
to lawlessness. Conditions will probably
have to become intolerable before 'indit-

Lespedeza Holds
Soil In Place And
Improves It Too
Serves Two-Fold Purpose
Where Erosion Is Farm
Problem

Soils that are being robbed by
the washing away of the most
productive layers and continuous
cropping without regard TO soil
Improvement presents two Of our
most Important farm problems in
Piedmont North Carolina.
These two great problems can
be reduced by growing lesledeza.
It has been found by experiment
al results that approximately 90
tons of soil erode from al acre
of land in one year on a 10 per
cent slope. This is the most pro-
ductive part of the soil and car
RES away about 20 times as much
plant food as one crop woull use,
BY growing lespedeza or the
same slope and type of soil it
was found that the loss was re-
duced to less than one ton pei
acre.
Lespedeza is the ammunition to
use if you want to kill two birds
with one shot. Lespedeza is not
only a crop that will hold the sol
in place, but it is one of our best
soil improvement crops. 1t has 8
wide range of adaptation and will
grow on almost any soil type il
North Carolina, especially the
Piedmont soils.
From an erosion and fertility
viewpoint. It is the most impor
tant soil saving crop that ha:
been introduced into the south il
the past few decades. 1t has beer
the salvation Of many farmer:
and will be for many others i
grown and properly managed OF
their farms.
1t is not necessary to fertile
and lime the soil for lespedeza
but it does respond freely whel
used. 1t is the general practic,
to seed the lespedeza on fall O
spring grains in February O
March. This practice does no
require labor IN preparing tn
seed bed. 1t is a late summe
growing crop and will grow an,
mature after the Grain crop i
harvested.
Lespedeza is an excellent ha,
