Hail Passingo Of
Antitrust Bill

ny the AAAocinted FfeaA
Top professional sports ON
Gals today hailed the House
vote 10 grant sweeping immu-
nifty 10 baseball and other team
sports from the Nations anti
trust laws.
The bill would enable pro-
fessional teams TO continue long
established practices such as
player drafts and baseball's re-
serve clause. II also would give
clubs more authority over tele-
vision and radio broadcasts Of
games.
The same standards would
cover the big four team sports
baseball. football. basketball
and hockey. B
The House passed the bin by
voice vote yesterday. The Sem
ate still must act II the meas
ure is TO become law,
CeIIer's hin Turned Down
"The bill. II passed. is one
that all sports can live with,
but IL Is in no sense a license, I"
Baseball Commissioner Ford
Frick said,
The House has expressed
its confidence in American
sports. It is now up 10 US to
demonstrate that the conf
dence is not misplaced"
Similar praise Of the legis-
lation was voiced by Bert Bell,
National Football League COM
missioner; George Trautman,
minor league commissioner.
and Clarence Campbell. presi-
dent Of the National Hockey
League.
In passing the measure, the
House turned down a bill spon-
sored by Representative Eman-
uel Celler. Democrat Of New
York. and approved by the
Judiciary Committee. That bill
would have exempted profess
sional sports from the anti
trust laws only TO the extent
that their practices were found
reasonably necessary" for the
sport to function. Critics said
the legislation would create a
chaotic condition and deluge
teams with law suits.
The bill that gained passage
says. in effect, that only strict
ly business activities - things
like stadium and concession
operations - are subject to
antitrust prohibitions against
monopoly and business re-
Straints.
Celler Blasts Proposal
The substitute proposal. Of
fered by Representative Francis
E. Walter, Democrat of Penn
sylvania, says the antitrust
laws cannot apply to contracts,
agreements or other practices
in the big four sports as they
relate to:
/. Equalization Of COMPETE
tive playing strength.
2. The employment, selection
or eligibility of players, or the
reservation, selection or assign
ment of player contracts.
3. The right of teams and
clubs to operate within Speci-
fed geographic areas.
4. Regulation of right 70
broadcast and telecast reports
and pictures of games.
S. The preservation Of pub
lie confidence in the honesty
in sports contests Through
commissioners Offices.
The bill preserves the right
Of players to parsain collec-
lively and have their own
player organizations.
Celler attacked the House.
passed proposal as a boon to
club owners whose promises, he
said, aren't worth a yinker's
dam"
The House, before approx
ing the Walter Bill. rejected a
much more stringent proposal
by Representative Albert w,
Cretella. Republican Of Con-
necticut. Among other things
Cretella's bill would have abol-
ished baseball's farm system
and have forbidden major
league clubs from televising
their games into minor league
territory without permission.

alyssum and dwarf zinnias.
Don't forget that the small
lowered strains are more apt
to have larger numbers Of
blooms than the large lowered
strains. and this is particularly
true in marigolds and zinnias.
One might expect a dozen good
blooms on the biggest zinnia
strain, but there are actually
hundreds and hundreds Of
flowers covering the plants Of
such miniture zinnias as Zinnia
Linearis and great numbers on
favorites like the multicolored
Persian Carpet.
Remember to thin the plants
to stand at recommended dis
tances apart in the bed (if a
plant will eventually grow a foot
across they should be spaced 8
to 10 inches apart. because no
plant performs at its best unless
it can develop naturally and

strengthen those left and it will
only be a few years until the
visable damage will disappear.
Chinese Elms
The Chinese elms suffered
greatly from the storm. They
will need a heavy pruning to
reshape them. The remaining
limbs may need shortening to
stimulate stronger structural
growth. This is one good rea-
son for topping" the Chinese
elm before it reaches too great
a height. Perhaps at 80 feet
the topmost branches should
be cut off to stimulate stronger
limbs.
House Plants Survive
1t is surprising to note how
few house plants suffered a
severe setback from their So
journ in unheated houses for
the few days that the heat was
off. Even the African violets
that are not supposed to with
stand temperatures below IS
bounced back as soon as the
heat came on.
Tie Up the BOxwOOds
The lockwood, arborvitaes and
other shrubs spread apart by
the snow, should be tied to-
gether with soft cords until the
branches have strengthened. II
carefully done this tying should
not be too. conspicuous.
Spading Is Held Up
The soddeh snow dumped on
lawns and gardens will pre-
clude any planting activity for
some time. Spading wet soil de-
stroys its physical structure

will be needed to restore the
texture. The shrubs. roses and

From midsummer to fall
frosts the most lavish displays
Of color and beauty in the gar
den come from annual flowers.
Perennials generally bloom in
the spring and early summer,
and without the ANIMALS to
Oontinue for the rest of the
season. the garden begins to
look bare just when 1t should
be in its full glory.
While individual blooms are
worth close inspection, and Of
course fine for cut flowers inr
doors, 1t is the mass effect in
the garden that is most i'm
pressive and that provides such
a pleasant setting for a home.
How can we provide lots of
blooms without pampering or
special care?
Most widely known and used
are petunias. for they are re-
liable everywhere and Except
for the biggest, fanciest fringed
types which are grown for the
beauty Of individual flowers)
are extremely floriferous. For
supreme uniformity and pro-
ductivity, use the new FL
hybrid strains. particularly the
multiflora types. The 1857 ALL
American winner Red Satin Is
a delightful hybrid and so are
its successors Pink Satin and
Peach Satin. These plants are
dwarf and globe-shaped, re-
naming only a foot tall through
the season, but they are just
covered with brilliant scarlet
flowers.
What are some of the other
heavy blooming annual flowers?
NaSturtiums, even the dwarf
varieties, produce an immense
amount Of bloom. One gardener
kept a record of the blooms
from single packet of dwarf
naSturtiums. She picked be-
tween 1900 and 2,100 flowers
every week during the season.
Other ree-blooming flowers
which are easy to grow include
dwarf marigolds, cornfiowers,
morning glories, four o'clocks,
portulaca (moss rose), sweet

ScrapbOok Date. March 2S

ScrapbOok Date, March %
Last weeks Snowstorm did a
tremendous amount of damage
to trees and shrubs in those
sections of the Washington
area where a foot or more of
sodden snow fell. Not only did
the heavy wet snow snap off
many branches and take the
tips out of the tops of our
trees, but it also bent many
plants to the ground so that
they will be a long time re-
Stunning normal position and
shape If not given help.
Stalking, guying, tying and.
perhaps, propping will be
needed to help them recover.
Many limbs were lost on dog
woods. hollies and other plants.
Pruning is necessary for all
torn, crushed and broken
branches.
Make the cuts in such a way
as to avoid stubs.
Cutting back to a side limb
will in many cases be desirable.
Make the cuts close to and
parallel to the side branch so
that the wound will gradually
heal over. Stubs do not heal.
Seal all cuts with a wound
dressing to prevent the entry
of rot.
Make New Leader
The top of a dogwood or a
holly may be renewed by tying
a side branch into a vertical
position after the stub has been
pruned and sealed with a tree
dressing. A stout bamboo pole
can be fastened to the trunk
below the cut and a branch
pulled up to it and fastened
into place. Many sprouts will
appear below the cut this
spring. They should be thinned
to a few of the better placed
ones. This thinning will

then, they should be examined
before planting to make certain
they do not need a soaking IN
a tub of water to restore the
moisture to tops and to roots.
Tent Caterpillar Eggs
A keen-eyed youngster re-

shrub only grows to 8 to 4 feet
and can be kept much lower by
pruning. OF course, there are
even more dwarf forms of the
Japanese holly, but they lack
the glossy foliage of the Convex
Leaf which is also called Bull
lata. The black fruits are sell
dom produced, so we grow it
for its foliage. Sun or light
shade suits the Japanese holly
very well.
Fetterbush
For the shady situation where
a moderately low-growing ever
green is needed to "face-up"
a taller growing shrub, the Fet-
terbush or Doghobble, which
even is better known by its bo-
tanics name. Leucothoe Gates
baei, should receive first call.
The glossy green foliage is at
tractive in the summer and
in the winter becomes a
snowy bronzy-green. The arch
ing branches are well clothed
with dropping clusters of flow
ers during the spring. Clumps
OF the Fetterbush may also be
used in the shady garden to
separate bulb beds or to serve
as a low background. Under
favorable cultural conditions,
the branches tip layer, hence
the other common name, dog
hobble. Of course. each layer
may be separated from the par
ent plant and used to extend
the planting.
ElaeagnuS
The fall-fiowerihg Elaeagnus
is not often grown locally be-
cause it is not supposed to be
hardy here. However, there is
a strain or variation that can
take the winters here without
injury While unpruned it may
reach 10 to IL feet in height,
most gardeners keep it to 6 or
perhaps 8 feet, counting the
long shoots of new growth. 1t
is particularly attractive be-
cause the undersides of the
leaves are silvery and make ex-
cellent winter arrangements.
Then, too, the fragrant flowers
produced in the fall add a diff
ferent note to the shrub border.
The fruits rarely develop in
this area.

GuOIlyuluS JIldI was T6COm-
mended on the Garden Page
for many years because the
Euonymus scale did not bother
it. But it has also rather high
landscape values both summer
and winter. In the summer
the attractive foliage of this
6 to 8 foot shrub has SUFFICIENT
luster to be pleasing. The
flowers are rather small and
inconspicuous but tn small
orange and scarlet fruits in the
fall, from which it gets its
name, are rather ornamental.
In the winter the corky ridges
on the twigs give it interest and
thus. year around. it has value,
in the border.
Abelia
Many grow the Abelia, some
times called the bush arbutus
for its long Towering season
(June to frost) and for its
glossy, semievergreen foliage
The Abelia is a bit tender il
grown in a protected situation
but the removal of the dead
twigs in the spring only serves
to keep it compact and a bit
more modest in stature. Grown
where winter injury does not
occur the Abelia often reaches
8 to 8 feet, but if kept pruned
it will stay at about S or
feet. In fact it may be trimmed
to a mere 3 feet as a hedge
There is a variety, the Edouard
Goucher, that grows to 3 feet
The Abelia likes a sunny stu
alton and is quite tolerant OF
soils.
Comedian Cherry
For a larger shrub that puts
on a dainty showing of bright
yellow flowers in the spring,
choose Cornus Mas, Comedian
cherry, or dogwood. 1t will
grow 10 to IL feet in height
but may be kept lower by reg
ular pruning in the early sum-
mer. Late pruning removes
the flower buds which are
formed in the fall. The Cor
nelian cherry is a good back
ground shrub, besides being
one of the first to flower in
the spring.
Convex Leaf Holly
OF all of the japanese hol-
lies, the Convex Leaf is the
most attractive. This dwarf
