Hanover Softball Loop
Meeting Is Scheduled

Softball representatives, from
teams in the Hanover league of last
season met at the Y. NJ. C. A, We'd
nesday night and held a brief dis
cussion with regard to reforming
this league for the 1910 season.
Another meeting of the same group
was set for Wednesday night of this
week at s o'clock, at which time
first steps in reorganization will
take place. Teams interested in Sc
curing berths in this loop should
have a representative on hand We'd
nesday.
The Hanover league is expected to
be placed on a strictly commercial
basis, according to the American
Softball association classification,
that is, all members playing for the
teams must be members of the Or
ganization which they represent.
This will necessarily make the STAN
dard of play somewhat lower than
that in the present Independent and
Commercial leagues but will offer a
fair basis of competition.

From a National league standpoint
it was very unfortunate that the

distress. the American league squad
is extremely healthy, and only Red
Ruffing, Dominic DiMaggio and
Charley Gehringer are not in a po-

The Nationals, on the other hand.
are afflicted with an epidemic OF
holdouts, injuries and ailments
which have necessitated numerous
changes. Only today Ernie lombard
suffered a split finger which will
keep him out of action.
However, the National league fans
are taking the philosophical attitude
that the game is purely an exhibit

in animal food. And the human
body itself, like the animals from
whose flesh we get our supply, can
manufacture Vitamin d out Of
simple chemical elements with the
help of sunshine.
Plants themselves are greatly
affected by vitamins in the soil.
We have all heard stories lately
about adding Vitamin B TO soil
and the marvellous giant plants
that result. But B is only one Of
the hormones and vitamins neces-
sary 10 plants.
The experiments with Vitamin
B on plants are, however, Of great
interest. This vitamin can be iso-
lated in pure crystalline form so
experimenters can know what
they are doing. 1t stimulates root
growth particularly. The roots of
flax, for instance, placed in nu-
TRENT solution of mineral salts,
nitrogen and sucrose will not
grow, but if l in 100000 parts
of Vitamin B is added to the mix
ture, the root tips will grow an
inch a day indefinitely. or as long
as the nutrient material holds out.
Power of Fertilizers
Amateur gardeners, moreover,
find that Vitamin B added TO soil
will result in large and harder
plants. Unknown to agricultur-
lists the secret of the power of fer
tilizers has been the vitamin con-
tent. The amount of vitamins
present need be very small-eight
five-grain tablets of selected vita
Minis, am told, might be dissolved
in the water required to irrigate
an acre of land for year. Ex-
cesses of The vitamin, indeed, seem
to do more harm than good. I'M
portant economic crops like corn,
wheat and tomatoes do not require
any extra vitamin fertilization.
Through a long process of selec-
ton they seem to have acquired
the ability to manufacture their
own vitamins for soil fertilization.
OF course that is the natural
way for plants to obtain their vi
tamins. Plants are isolationists.
They do not need to enter into re-
ciprocal trade agreements. From
air and sunlight they manufac-
ture the substance of their bodies.
Man and the animals have to de-
pend on the products of the plants
to build up their body substance.
Apply 1t to Nan
Some hormones added to plants
affect not the growth of the plant
but the reproductive functions
sexual fruiting can thus be pro-
duced without natural polfna-
ton. The period of dormancy may
be prolonged or shortened SO that
the seasonal cyclic changes in the
plant world are varied, even OBJ
liberated. Leaves may be caused
to grow upward (hyponasty) or
downward (epinasty) contrary TO
the plants usual habit.
All this experimental work
so new and surprising and stimu-
lating-makes US wish to apply it
to man and his growth and func-
tons. Undoubtedly that is one of
the strong tendencies of the sci
ence of the age, and our attack in
the future will not be so much to-
wards intensive study of the cause
and cure of particular diseases as
of influencing growth and fertility
of new generations.
