MISS WICKER DIES
FROM PNEUMONIA
Was Superintendent of Scott
Parker Sanatorium for
Ten Years

Miss Minnie Lucia Wicker. AZ, for
the past ten years superintendent OF
the Scott Parker Canatorium for
tubercular patients here, died OF
pneumonia at Maria Parham hospital
here Tuesday afternoon at 80 o'clock
The body was prepared for burial
and taken to Miss Wicker's former
home in Rockingham, where tuneral
services will be held Thursday after
noon at 8 o'clock at the home of a
brother, D. l.. Wicker, with lnterment
following in the cemetery there. Miss
Wicker was a member of the Presby-
terrain church in Rockingham virtual
ly her entire life.
, She is survived Ky her mother, Mrs.
Sarah Cadet Wicker, widow of the
late Fordham Wicker; also three
brothers, Charles l.. Wicker of Gulf;
William T. Wicker and Daniel l..
Wicker, both of Rockingham, and two
sisters, Misses Eta and Ellen Wicker,
also both of Rockingham.
Miss Wicker was born in Moore
county December IS, 1889. She was
educated for the teaching profession
and engaged in that work for few
wears in her home county. She after
wards became interested in tuberular
work. and entered the school of nurs-
ing at the State Sanatorium, gradual
inc there with high honors. She was
considered one of the most efficient
nurses ever to graduate from the IN
stitution. DR.. p P. Mccain superin-
tendent. who selected her for the dl-
rection of the Scott Parker Sana-
forum here when it was founded,
spoke of her as being ideal for the
place. Those who were in intimate
touch with her work here testified to
the correctness of his judgment of her
fitness.
Miss Wicker was born of most ex-
cellent type of Scotch Presbyterian
ancestry. and was known as woman
of the highest Christian character,
which is said to have been always evil
denced in her work with patients in
the hospital here.
She was known as woman of a
patient and cheerful disposition, and
as one who was a constant source OF
helpfulness and inspiration to every
one who came under her care. 1t was
felt that many Of those who won the
fight back to health at the sanatorium
owe it in large measure to the con-
slant encouragement she impaired to
them 1t was said of her that every
patient loved her, and that not one of
them has ever been known to utter
word of criticism about her service.
She was so interested in their welfare
that she generously contributed each
month from her own salary for their
greater comfort.
Although her esponsibilities were
heavy and kept her closely confined to
the sanatorium, Miss Wicker made a
host of friends during her ten years
of service, and these mourn the pass
ing of friend and the loss the sana-
forum has sustained One who knew
her through these years said today
that "her work will live on and on in
memory of the great service she has
rendered Here's a place that will not
be easy to fill"

CUTTINGS Of summer bedding
plants such as lantanas, ageratums
and geraniums should be started
now under glass for early use.
Only strong, healthy stock plants
should be used for this purpose.
The accompanying Garden-G Graph
shows how to cut and plant the cut
tings. Make the cutting at the
node, just below the leaf, since
roots start easier there. Make your
cuttings about four inches in
length, and remove the leaves from
the bottom. Plant them immedi-
ately, except for the geraniums.
Let them lie in the shade for day
before planting, to prevent damp
ing off.
Insert the cuttings from one to
two inches in clean, sharp sand, or
in a mixture of half peat and sand
or half soil and sand. Water care
fully and place in the cold frame.
Keep shaded for about two weeks
until the roots begin to grow.

Batting Order to Be Changed.

FOR the rest of the current series
with the Yankees and probably
for most Of the Western trip to follow
Ossie Bluege will do the shortstopping
The dusting off of the venerable Capt.
tai landmark will, of course, add to
the defensive strength of the club,
but Harris isn't worried about de-
fense. What the Mats need. if they
ever intend to break their losing
streak, will be better pitching and a
flock of base hits.
The substitution of Bluege will
mean slightly changed batting order.
Buddy Lewis, instead of hitting in the
seventh hole, will bat sixth. Bluege,
then, will hit Just ahead of the
catcher.
Travis was far and away the Wash
1ngton standout in the 6-to-1 drubbing
handed out by the Yanks. He not
only collected two of the five hits
made of Lefty Gomez, but romped
off with the defensive prize when he
robbed Myril Hoag of at least a
single in the third inning, when the
bases were loaded with two out
1t was with a leaping. glove-hand
stab of a curving line drive that
Travis finally ended the side for the
suffering Mr.. Joe Cascarella.
1t was Cecil's second, a single to
open the seventh, that both paved the
way for the scoring of the only Griff
run and his injury. Lewis followed
with a single and Travis, sliding into
third ahead of Selkirk's throw, caught
his spikes in the heavy ground and
twisted his knee.

Cascarella No Puzzle.

IT WAS an anxious bunch of Mats

rays at Georgetown Hospital, where
be was removed The club physician,
after studying the pictures, declared
no fracture was apparent, but that a
tendon had been torn. How long he
will be out depends on whether water
forms on the knee. Travis was to
undergo another examination today.
Meanwhile all the misery wasn't
confined to Travis. More deeply en-
trenched in the cellar than ever are
the Griffs now, with only single
victory in half dozen games Not
only that, but Cascarella looked no
better and the Washington attack, if
possible, looked worse. Gomez was
master yesterday from start to finish.
Cascarella stuck around for five
innings and then was thumbed off the
premises. BY that time the Yanks held
q SO lead, achieved by humping
Joseph for five hits and graciously
accepting five bases on balls and allow
ing batsman to be pinked. Syd
Cohen worked two acceptable innings,
but Dick Lanahan, who mopped up,
handed out four more bases on balls
and the final run in the last two
frames.

Speaking of Weather

ONE Of the items due to be brought
up at the 1887 joint meeting of
the major leagues seems to be the
business of starting the season a week
later and, by that token, running it
a week longer.
1t was strictly National League
Judge Lands idea, they say, and so
far it hasn't panned out too we'll. For
the most part the weather was far
better the week prior to the opening
this season than it has been at any
time, since, and it hardly could have
been worse
Since the curtain was raised
on April 19, to get specific, a
total of "a big league games
have been played and 81 have
been postponed due to rain,
cold, snow or flooded grounds.
No recommendation, either. is the
running of the base ball season far
into the foot ball campaign. With the
American and National League sea-
sons due to end October 8, the series
cannot possibly start before October S.
Thus, with day or so of rain, it
conceivably could run as late as
October 13 or IA and by that time
intersectional grid games will be cut
ting deeply into base ball interest.
Or maybe the National Leaguers
don't recognize foot ball.

Shortstop-CascareIIa
Fails, Yanks Win.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.


TT NEVER rains but it pours for
Bucky Harris. AS if the prospect
OF climbing out of the American
4 League cellar with a shaky pitch
ing staff wasn't uninviting enough,
Bucky today found a good IS per cent
OF his Nationals offensive strength to
date removed for an idefinite period.
Shortstop Cecil Travis, only men,
Der of the Nationals to live up to the
preseason touting of batting power,
will be out of the game for at least
two weeks due to torn tendon in his
knee. When it is said that his in
jury cuts down the Washingtons' base
hit output by IS per cent it is, at this
point, no great exaggeration.
When he was carried off the field
IN the seventh inning of yesterdays
game with the Yankees, after severely
twisting his right knee while sliding
Into third base, Travis showed a .533
batting average. This was for four
games he played since a belated start
due to previous knee injury. In
each of those games he hit safely
twice for total of eight blows. The
other eight regulars, over the same
stretch, produced only 81 hits among
them.
Eight out of q hits furnished by
one man! Figure that out.
