NEW YORK (GlobaD This
could be Jackie Robinson's last
wear as an active baseball player,
despite the fact that he has repeat
edly said he feels he has a few
more years of active participation.
1t is hardly likely that he will
seek to remain in the game in any
other capacity.
Robinson has grown fat and he
shows Enthusiastically signs of con-
slant irritability. Robinson'S grow
ing fat is not only physical. He
is quite wealthy, and has numerous
irons in the fire. His prestige IS
at its peak and he could command
top bracket salary in any num-
fber of industries. He can be ex-
pected to do differently from Joe
Louis. He will get out while his
name is worth a lot of money.
Jackie has been a lucky fellow.
For the first year or more that he
was in organized baseball, he was
forced to take a great deal of
abuse. When the wraps were fin
ally taken off him, he neatly blew
his top on several occasions. Some
of those who had supported hin
all the way and defended his &C
tons at every turn, soon begar
to tire of his heckling. Severa
writer's threatened to "open up

on him if he didn't settle down.
Robbie grew surly and resentful.
He seems near the breaking point.
Last Sunday when he was tossed
out of the game at the Polo
Grounds, he appeared just about
ready to blow up. Even now,
Jackie cannot go as far as his
teammates or members of other
teams. The race problem has not
yet been solved.
Speaking about Joe Louis, the
former champion completely
missed the boat when he failed to
stay out of the ring after the sec
ond Walcott fight. He was on the
crest of his popularity and could
have had almost anything he asked
for. He could have headed a bust
ness and made thousands of dol
lars just for the use Of his name.
But the thought otherwise and the
once "big man. of the boxing
world, perhaps the greatest idol
the Negro has ever produced, is
truly now just another Joe.
The former boxing champions
troubles, however, were aggravat-
ed by other causes. Once he got
accustomed to the, plauditsr of the
crowds, the attention of women,
fine clothes and big times, he
couldn't stay out of the limelight.
Though not as obvious as Jackie,
if Robinson is a "showboat" then
Louis was one too, but in a quieter
way. Jackie has husbanded his
money far better than Louis; his
wife helped more than Marva
helped Joe. Rachael likes gooc
time in different way-she has
permitted Jackie to be the public
figure, and has got her pleasure
and happiness out of the good for
tune of her husband. Marvs
shared the spotlight with Joe anc
on occasion sought to grab it from
him.
Jackie and his wife apparently
work as a team; they even discuss
and decide on business matters
Louis advice came almost alone
from his cronies. Jackie set W
a business organization to handle
his affairs, and the men wht
handle them are responsible fol
the success of his business. They
must account for it's operation
Louis affairs were handled by his
friends and on a rather persona
basis.
So, as the time approaches wher
it appears Robinson will leave thu
game, he will leave with his pres
tige still high and his business il
good order. Pity the same coulo
not be said of Joe Louis, one o,
the incest guys ever to take par
In any sport anywhere.

League Launches
Second Half Race

CHICAGO, July 13-The Negro
American league will open its sec
ond half this week with the same
four teams with which it started
the season. The defunct Chicago
American Giants and Philadelphia
Stars did not return to the fold
as may have beer expected.
The four teams are the Kansas
City Monarchs, champions of the
first half; Birmingham Barons,
Memphis Red Sox and Indianapolis
Clowns, defending champions.
Second half play gets under way
this weekend with the Birming
ham Black Barons playing host to
the Indianapolis Clowns and the
Kansas City Monarchs home to the
Memphis Red Sox.
With incomplete returns in for.
the first half, according to statis'
tics of the Howe News Bureau, it
appears that the Monarchs are the
class of the league with four of
the top seven batters IN Ernest
Banks, Ernest Johnson, Duke Hen
derson, and Juan Armenteros and
three of the six best pitchers, John
Jackson, Dagoberto Nunez an d
Gene Richardson.
The Monarchs also lead the
league in fielding. The Monarchs
are a youthful lot with only one

Even the smallest garden can
profit from a hotbed in which
plants can be started weeks ear
lier than seeds can be sown out
doors. The plants cost a fraction
of those purchased in the mar
ket.
Most economical in space, cost
and upkeep, is a hotbed built
around a window opening from
a heated basement, preferably a
south window. In front of the
window make a shallow excava-
ton, about a foot deep. The size
must be figured carefully, so that
a frame set in this excavation
can be covered by window or hot
bed sash. A glass substitute may
be used.
Build a frame to fit in the ex-
cavation. The sides must slant
sharply from a point above the
window, almost to the ground.
Fit the sash on this frame, using
hinges at the top so the sash
may easily be raised for ventila-
ton. Earth may be banked
around the frame to keep out
the cold; and the sides should
be as tight as possible to keep
out the wind.
The frame may have to be
caulked where it joins the foun-
datlon to prevent drafts, other
wise it is builtslike the garden
type, using a standard or odd
size sash as you choose.

The Alta Vista Garden Club
Evening star., 1953-03-08

A home garden, If properly
located and cared for. should
produce from $3.50 to 5000 worth
of fresh vegetables, says George
Williams, associate horticul-
turist at VPI.
The value can be doubled by
gardeners who freeze, can, dry
and store surplus vegetables
during the growing season.
Value of the garden is largely
determined by careful planning
and cultural practices, Williams
says.
Here are some suggestions:
Place all perennials such as
asparagus and rhubarb on one
side of the garden. Group early
vegetables such as spinach, let
tuce, mustard and radisheS to-
gether to help in successive
paintings. Group midseason
vegetables such as beans, corn
and early cabbage together so
the space may be used later for
fall and winter gardens. Vege-
tables which grow all through
the season, such as eggplant and
okra, should be grouped on one
side of the garden since no sue
cessive paintings can be made
with this group.
Consider disease-resistant va
rieties, and balance of leafy,
root and fruit vegetables when
planning the garden.
Apply a 5-10-10 or 5-10-5 fer
tilizer at the rate of 1000
pounds per acre, or about 25
pounds per 1000 square feet. If
the garden has been we'll
manured early, fertilizer may be
broadcast and worked into the
soil. If only a little manure has
been used, place half of the fer
tiliZer in the row and mix
thoroughly with the soil before
planting.
Manure is the best soil con-
ditioner available. An applica-
ton of 20 tons per acre is not
too much. Not only does it add
plant food, but it increases the

Pruning and dormant sprays,
If still to be completed, should
not be delayed. Include the dog
woods in the dormant spray
schedule this spring-it may help
to protect them from the an
thracnose leaf spot.

cast. Straw is probably the most
readily .obtainable material for
this purpose. Baskets may be
used to protect the smaller
plants and bushes. Newspapers
weighted down with dirt will
help.
It's not too late to fertilize the
lawn. A mixture high in nitro
gen is recommended for spring
use, but is seldom readily avail
able. However, the home owner
can add 10 pounds of nitrate Of
soda or sulphate of ammonia to
each 100 pounds of the 5-10-5
and accomplish the same result.
Apply at the rate of Is to SO
pounds per 1000 square feet per
season. It's better to make three
applications than one. March,
June and September are the
recommended times. The higher
rate should be used on poor soils
or to lawns where tree roots
compete with the grass.
This is a good season for
setting out perennials-those
that transplant in the spring.
Iris, peonies and oriental poppies
to mention the more commonly
grown ones, are the exceptions
to the rule, unless they were
potted last summer.
Order a few varieties of chrys-
anthemums for planting in
April. The new varieties are far
superior to the old timers, es-
pecially those that bloom in late
September and early october.
In selecting shrubbery for the
home grounds choose tall de-
cidious Towering shrubs for
windbreaks to protect perennial
and rose beds. The evergreens,
with the exception of the pines
and spruce do not Withstand
strong winds.
jumpers tolerate hot, dry sit
uations better than other low
growing evergreens. The Pfitzer
| juniper is less subject to the
juniper web worm than are the
Irish and spiny Greek jumpers.
1t is difficult to grow the latter
two unless given adequate pro-
lection from this pest.
Keep the chickweed under
control or it will smother out
desirable garden plants. In
flower beds this means hand
pulling. In the lawn spraying
with potassium cyanate will con-
troll the chickweed more ef-
fectively than will 2-4-D.

vegetable varieties issued by the
University of Maryland Exten-
sion Service indicates those best
adapted for freezing.

Normally, shortly after the
middle of March confirmed vege-
table growers try to get in po-
tatoes, peas and onion sets. These
three crops need cool weather for
best growth and to mature ahead
of hot weather. Early paintings
are imperative for them.
Spring planting of trees, shrubs
and roses should be pushed along
as fast as soil conditions will per-
NIT. Mid-March is the preferred
time, but should be completed by
the 1st of April. Root growth
takes place in cool soils and this
is needed before temperatures
are high enough to stimulate top
growth, Without sufficient roots,
top growth is likely to be very
temporary.
Pruning and dormant sprays,
II still to be completed, should
not be delayed. Include the dog
woods in the dormant spray
schedule this spring-it may help
to protect them from the an
thracnose leaf spot.
Rose pruning should be COM
pleted within the next few days
even though they are in leaf. Re-
move dead and diseased wood,
but pruning the good canes
should be very lightly done. Paint
the ends of every cane to protect
them from the saw-f1y. After
pruning spray the bushes with a
dormant-strength spray but this
cannot be used where leaves are
present. A summer strength
spray should be used instead to
help clean up disease spores on
the wood. It will not hurt to
have considerable spray fall on
the soil to kill spores on fallen
leaves-better still, rake up and
dispose of old foliage first.
The uncovering of roses should
be done whenever cloudy weather
favors this chore. To uncover
while the sun is shining brightly
is to expose tender bark to SUM-
burn. Feed the roses generously.
A handful of 5-10-5 per bush is
not too much. Cultivate it light
ly into the soil-rose roots are
close to the surface and deep
cultivation should be avoided.
Uncover perennials and bulb
beds gradually so as not to ex-
pose the tender new growth to
drying winds and bright sunlight.
Keep the covering handy because
late frosts are always a posi-
bility.
Even though the beds were
not mulched, it might be a good
precaution to obtain mulching
materials to protect the beds
