Special Dispatch to The Star.

ORLANDO, Fla. Mari 29-The
box scores haven't begun to show it,
but the Mats today are saying that
James Brooklyn De Shong. the living
jitterbug of the pitching staff. is a
better hurler than he has been for
two years.
Jimmy did the pitching against the
burg and was charged with 5to-3
defeat, second in row for the
Grifmen. The four runs and six
hits made off him by the Cardinals
do not speak eloquently in his be-
half.
But I will" says Rick Ferrell,
who handled his slants. That fast
ball of his seems to be coming back.
He wasn't this fast year ago. And
his curve wasn't as good
1t may be recalled that Jimmy
was loperoo last year. He only
won five games and he lost eight.
His earned-run average was 6.60.
Even Yankee pitcher can't win
at that rate.
Jim Just Lost His Stuff.
The explanation of baseball people
was simple, direct and brief. He had
lost his stuff" His high hard one,
the De Shong standby, still was high
from time to time, but it wasn't
hard. From regular starter who
in 1886 won 18 games and lost 10,
De Shong dropped in status to the
role of a mop-up pitcher.
just as he was a surprise when
he came from the Yanks as an un-
heralded relief pitcher and Won 18
games for Washington his first
year, so was James Brooklyn a sur
prise in 1887 and 1888. He wasn't
so bad in 1887. He won IA. But
he also lost Is.
I'm faster he reports. I'm
heavier, too, than I've been in my
life. I needed a little more weight.
AS soon as get a couple of more
games under my belt I'll be ready"
Jimmy had an unhappy year in
1888. The Washington fans hoped
all over him. They were pretty
cruel and loud about the matter,
too. Il can still hear a couple of
those guys yelling: Lets go home.
It's all over now. Here comes De
Shong'
THE trouble" grinned Jimmy
was that they were pretty nearly
right. I was terrible"
He's More Serious Now, Too.
This is another year. and Jimmy
seems to be starting all over again.
He is no starting pitcher now

Grounding Players
In Fundamentals
BY FELIX r. MCKNIGHT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. March %
Perennial second division ball clubs
have knack for seeping optimism
in spring training but there's
something about the st. Louis
Browns that makes you think may
be they're not just Whistling in the
cemetery this time.
Genial Fred Haney, a baseball
wise fellow who is the third Brownie
manager IN as many seasons. Just
unconsclously leaves the impression
that something big is going to hap
pen.
Cautiously he has started reshap-
ing the BroWns-from fundamen-
tails to attitude. He has them bunt-
ing by the hours, sliding into a
sand pit that makes hip Strawberries
and elbow bruises as common as
balls and bats in the camp.
"Bunts and stolen bases can win
you few ball games, you know"
squinted Haney. Why, there were
! some fellows on this squad who had
never slid into bag before. I'M
agine it. Pitchers, OF course, but
they We got to learn, too
! Haney Cautious Talker.
Haney never will get into trouble

| under a definite conservative head
| ing. Hes already we'll into his ex-
hibitlon game schedule. but he still
won't talk about his starting line
up. Rockies and old heads are get
| ting the same shake from Haney.
Attitudes are changing. The last
| place complex is absent.
Attitudes in the Brown camp in
the past have been more singular
than plural mused Haney.
The boys themselves have told
me they feel like they are better
than they have shoWn-and I be-
lieve it myself. They're just about
ready to go, I believe"
/ Power on the Brownie team is un-
questioned; they finished second in
| club batting in the American loop
last year.
Pitching Is Big Question.

the whole thing up and YOU always

ing. If the younger pitchers come
through. and we're looking for it,
we'll give somebody tussle.'
Right now Haney is fairly we'll
pleased with his pitchers, after
squirting at them in exhibition
games. He counts Buck NeWsom, a
20-game winner last year; Howard
Mills, southpaw; Johnny Marcum,
Russ Van Alta and Ed Cole def

He has raft of hurlers, but the
ones impressing are Jackie Kramer,
who won 20 for San Antonio last
year; Big Bill Trotter. 22-game
winner with the same club. and two

two innings Jimmy had as much on

third he filled the bases with free
tickets and Joe Medwick sneaked a
single through the infeld to wipe a

Casualty List Is Growing.
The Grlffs had plenty of chances
to win the game. A base hit on any
one of several occasions could have
helped toward winning. But Bob
Weiland and Rookie Tom Sunkel
took care they didn't get it.

out on force play. Crespi's spikes

The Bilney rose does beautifully,

voluntary, yet the demand for plots
has grown from 100 In 1885 to 47o in
1898. All tools and seed for this work
are furnished. The student is not
required to make any deposits or
furnish any equipment.
The working plan for the Cleve-
land schools differs from the Dear
born plan in some respects. Here,
no regular credit is given for the
course, and the program is simply
considered supplementary to the
regular school program. The course

high school pupils.
The Cleveland schools have two
plans available for giving actual
practical experience in gardening.

tracts are developed. and each child
Is assigned a standard sized plot,
the tract being worked by the stu
dents during certain specified periods

garden tracts have been available,
and this plan has been in effect,
the school authorities have this to
say concerning the educational
values for the children:
Children with garden plots
are engaging in a real life size
enterprise, not an imitation pre-
pared for school use. They ex-
perience the dignity and pride
that comes when one actually
produces with his own hands and
skill. They see the rewards of
honest work and the penalties of
neglect, things q garden can
teach as nothing else can. They
learn to follow directions, obey
rules. observe property rights.
assume individual and social
responsibilities, respect beauty,
and to await results with patience.
Neatness, orderliness, promptness,
honesty, industry and fair play
are all traits of character that
grow in the properly managed
garden tract, along with the crop.
The children themselves grow
physically, with the healthful ex-
ercise in the fresh air and sun
shine"

Suggestions
For Work
In June
Feed and Cultivate
Roses to Insure
Bloom in Fall

Roses:
To keep mildew and black spot|
in check, spray or dust roses fre-j
quently.
Keep rose beds thoroughly cul-
tivated. This will help to rel
duce the number of rose bugs.
All good rosarians know thatl
the fall blooms of roses are amongI
the best. To make sure you will
secure good fall bloom pay spe-
cial attention to feeding and|
cleanliness in the rose garden|
after the first bloom and ALL
through the summer.
Phlox:
Dust plants frequently with sul-|
phur to prevent mildew.
Shrubs:
Early blooming shrubs which
are through Towering may bel
pruned at once; some of the old
wood should be removed at the|
base. Then cultivate and feed
with a complete, balanced plant
food. /
GladiOlus:
Make additional planting of
gladiolus corms to provide for q
supply of late flowers. Be sure
to apply plant food when plant
ing. If your first planting of
glads are well up by now. a sur
face feeding of complete, balanced
plant food will be beneficial ad
this time.
Hardy NUNS:
Pinch back hardy chrysanthe-
NUNS to keep them stocky.
Feeding of NUNS for more and
better blooms starts about tho
first of June. Use a complete !
balanced plant food, feeding al
intervals of about every three
weeks. Be sure to water well
both before and after feeding.
Early Blooming Perennials-After-
Blooming Care:
Perennials that have finished
blooming should have the sol
about them stirred up. and should
be given square meal of com
plete, balanced plant food, wa
tering the plants well after feed
ing, so the food will be washed
down to the roots. 1t is important
that perennials be fed after flow
ering because it is then that they
start manufacturing food for de-
velopment of next years blooms
Food stored this summer and fal
will, to some extent, determine
the quality and number of flow
ers next years plants will pro1
duce.
