IMMENSE LOSS TO PEACH CROP Cheap and Simple Remedy for '*81ack Spot" found by l'. S. Department of Agriculture. The less from the peach brown rot will average many thousands of dol lars yearly. Much work has been done with a view to discovering a sat sfactory remedy for this trouble. Spraying with diluted Fordeaux mix ture has been most commonly recom mended. but its injury to the foliage has made it unsatisfactory, since the remedy must be applied during the growing season. The peach scab (often called "black spot"i Is another disease which ser iously affects the peach crop in all section* east of the Rocky mountains, although not cauglng such serious ‘ losses as brown rot. , As a result nf experimental work by the T'nited States Department of Agriculture, a cheap and simple rem edy for this disease has been found in •be self-holled lime-sulphur wash. This can be applied during the growing season with very little danger of In juring the fruit or foliage and it is very effective Furthermore by mix ing arsenate of lead with the fungi s}*e. he curculio can be destroyed at the same time.

RED FIRE IS BURNED Cubans Make Big Fuss Over Good Plays of Marsans. Actions of Clever Cincinnati Outfield er Closely Watched by His En thusiastic Admirers—Sto ries are Sent by Cable. Hank O'Day is strong for his Cuban member of the Reds, and has been pulling for the foreigner to make good. Marsans is one of the most am bitious ball players in the game, ac cording to the Reds' manager, and will be given every opportunity to make good. The Cuban is a great fa vorite with the Cincinnati fans, de spite his nationality, for he is a good ball player, and the real dyed-in-the wool fan likes to watch good ball players perform, be they white or black. Marsans. however, is not a black man, as a great many fans are led to believe, but is as white in color as most of the ball players. He is sun-tanned and naturally somewhat brown from that cause. In the absence of Johnny Bates Marsans la holding down center field and playing a star game. It was his sterling catch of Knabe's hot liner that saved a few runs in the second game of the present series with the I Reds. Marsans is batting over .300 Bill Phelon. a scribe with the Reds, sends a long story to two Cuban news papers each evening by cable, telling of the Reds’ game, and especially the deeds of young Marsans. It is said by Phelon that whenever Marsans 1 stars particularly the Cubans down home celebrate the occasion with big Outfielder Marsans. ; bonfires, etc. On the occasion recent i ly when Marsans gathered in four hits i in one game the natives of the old i Spanish city had a parade, with the , burning of much Are and bright lights ! along the way. The career of the Reds' player is being followed by ev ery Cuban in Cuba. At one time two Cuban newspapers had their regular baseball writers following the Reds for exclusive stories of the Cuban players. SLIDE TO FIRST IS BARRED Association Umpires Do Not Hesitate to Call Out Runners Going to Initial Sack Feet First. American association umpires have fallen into the habit in the past few years of calling out the runner who slides to first base. According to an editorial In the Sporting News, an A. A. umpire recently called out an ath lete who had slid into first, and as the tired runner was going back to the ivench the umpire scid: "You're out in this league if you slide to first." Which caused the writer of this editorial to wax indignant, especially as he says the umpires in the big leagues seem to have the same understanding in re gard to the slide to first. •'Brick” Owens was one of the up holders of the no-sliding-to-first law in the American association, and he probably still adheres to his ideas along that line. Indeed, the thing seems to have become one of the un written laws of baseball. Two years ago a runner slid to first and appar ently was quite safe. Owens called him out. When asked about the play after the game, Owens said: “111 always call a player out when he slides to first. Why does he slide? He can make better time standing up. But J1I tell you whv he glides. He wants to make a play look ciose that otherwise would be easy. He’s trying to show’ up the umpire. It don't go with mt-” Abel Owens always called out the runner who slid to first, no matter how the play looked. A slide ruean^. death for the runner. Here is a part of the editorial of the Sporting News: "It is noted that players do not slide to first base any more—and many times they might beat a close play if they did. But a slide to first is just as interesting and thrilling as a slide to second, and thrills are what make the game popular. There can be no reason for a ban on the slide on the theory' that it is dangerous. It is not as dangerous as a slide in a steal, for the baseman does not have to block or touch the runner: he merely has to hold the ball before the run ner gets there. “The umpire who sets himself up as one who wiil not permit the advan tage gainer in a slide to first is not only overstepping his authority, but he is shiraing his work, for we talfe it that the ban o>i the slide grows out of pure laziness on the part of the ar biter, who doesn’t like to meet up with close plavs that compel him to use c.s carefully conserved energy.” $57,000 Battery. TVhen Mar.juard and Meyers and O'Toole aqd Kelly appeared in that recent New Tork-Pittsburg game the fans were a ale to look upon approxi mately $50,000 worth of battery’ mate rial in action, divided according to cost to thslr owners as follows: O’Toole, $22,500; Marquard, $11,000; Kellq, $6,500; Meyers, $6,000. That foots up $45,000 and In addition to the price paid for Kelly, Magnate Drey fuss turned over to St. Paul Jack Flynn, for whom he had prevlouslv paid LIBERAL BALL OWNERS NEVER LOSE OUT. Chick Gandii, Washington’s Crack First Baseman. Whether it pays to go into the mar ket and bid for young players of prom ise. even if the price seems high, is answered in the case of Uandii, whose addition to the Nationals virtually made the team, says Joe Jackson in the Washington I’ost. He continues: It is generally understood that Gan , Ml dost $15,000, including the assessed valuation of four players and a cash i balance, the deal being similar in this ! sense to the one by which Russell ; went from Rnltimore to the Athletics. Russell's purchase was a dead loss, but that was entirely the fault of the player, who put himself out of the ; game. So far Gandil has been a sue | cess. He has proved that he is a star fielder, and while possibly he may not hit quite as well after he has been in a time, he shapes up like a man who I should at worst bat around .2S0. And ; that kind of bingler is not found every I day. If Gandil cost $15,000.* he was not . expensive, as far as can be judged from results to date. None of the players whc were let out would be useful right now. as Cunningham was doing bench duty exclusively, and CrifSth was not using either Akers or ; Becker to any extent. The difference : in receipts since Gandil joined, be J tween what the club would have (irawn without him and what it has drawn with him, to say nothing of the money the club should get at home, will pay what he cost and leave a bal ance. The club would have won some ; games without him. but never could have compiled its long streak of con I secuiive victories. ZINN PROVES CLEVER PLAYER LEAGUES FORCED TO DISBAND Highlanders’ Young Outfielder Has Been Hitting Bali Hard. Especial ly When in Pinches. There was no blare of trumpets when the Highlanders bought the re lease of Guy Zinn from the Altoona j clube of the Tristate league last year, i Guy was no high priced, highly touted i phenom of the O'Toole-Marquard-Rus i sell class, but an ordinary garden \a j riety of green rookie. Guy jimmied j his way into about a dozen games on the hilltop last season—not enough to j get into the official averages. He 1 played a few good games, but did not look as if he possessed big league caliber. Before going south this year Guy was not conceded a chance to stick with the big fellows, as It was Guy Zinn. thought that Wilfred Osborn, the for mer Phillie, would land the substitute outfield vacancy. However, Zinn not only landed the job as substitute outfielder, but in three days clinched a regular position. The poor showing of the team has thrown a shadow over the good work he has been doing. With Kilties up in the race the praise of this youth would be sung all over the city. Zinn gives promise of developing into a great batter. He hits the ball hard and what is more, does his hitting in the pinches. Many times this season he has made good with runners on the trails. Zinn is no Ty Cobb on his feet, but he covers a big area of ground in the outfield and is fairly fast on the bases. He has made more hits than any other member of the Kilties this season and It looks as if i he is in the big leagues to stay. Reasons for Better Ball. Monte Cross says that there are two i reasons why baseball of today Is bet ter than that of twenty years ago. They are that less boneheads are playing and the spitball has been dis covered. “Dode” Paskert Shines. j There are only three or four center | fielders in the country who can be | mentioned in the same breath with !

Churches and religious societies, to the number of at least 100.000, will he urged to give special attention to the prevention of tuberculosis on Sun day, October 27, or on some day dur ing the week preceding or the week following that date. This season has been set apart and designated as the Third National Tuberculosis Day by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Tu. berculosis Day was originally set on April 2S, but was postponed because of a conflict with Conservation Sun day of the Men and Religion Forward movement, which was held on that date. The observance of Tuberculosis Day in the fall of the year will be uti lized by anti-tuberculosis workers not only for the general education of churchgoers on consumption, but also for the purpose of interesting them in ; the sale of Red Cross Christmas Sa&is. --—.
