Chief Wilson of the Pirates is to Pitcher Jimmie Lavender of the Cubs what Hans Wagner is to Rube Mar- quard or, In other words, both -are what Joe Tinker {8 to Christy Mathew- son. The batting of the Texan against the Cub spitball was something ter- Rube Marquard. Afte, and it about equaled the per- formance of Hans Wagner against Marquard, It ‘Wilson and Wagner always bat- ted against Lavender and Marquard, respectively, they would be fighting it out for nthung hoxors, ea.ch seek- ing the edge over the other with a percentage of about .480 or there- abouts, and a slugging total for ex- tra bases that would beat anything in past records. Wagner cracked out three home runs off Marquard last season, not to mention a pair of three-bag- gers and a liberal sprinkling of ordi- nary base-hits. Wilson did the very same thing against Lavender, al- though his home runs won games from the Cubs, while, on the other hand, Honus was unfortunate in the fact that two of his three ¢ircuit smashes off Marquard counted for Hw Gitizes Orrcame DI culties In Hudson. TOTAL GOST VERY SMALL. Town Might Well Be Called Eim City. Not Until This Spring That a Gens eral Movement Started to Improve Vacant Streets and Bare Places, but Work Went With a Rush, The village -of . Hudson, O., might well be called Rlm City. Some sixty years ago, under the inspiration of the president and professors of the col- lege then located there, the citizens set more than a mile of the streets, on both sides, with young elms eight to ten feet high ‘and about fifty feet apart.. Those little elms now -arch and span and meet at the top mvlng splen- did shaded drives, Since then until this spring little tree planting was done except bLere | and there by enterprising citizens as Individuals, chiefly along their own frontages. - This spring, however, a general movement started, says W. T. Chamberlain in the National Stock- | man and Farmer, and a “tree com- mittee” of fifteen was appointed by the village mayor and asked to fill in single vacancies and the vacant streets to the corporation line in all directions. The village funds were low, and so all property owners were asked by the committee to “chip in” and pay actual cost of ‘all trees set along their front- ages (seven and a half feet from the fence line ‘to give room for sidewalk) at a cost not.to exceed $1 per tree. nothing, as the Pirates lost. Wilson’s batting against Lavender all season was something noteworthy. Three times on the Chicago’s grounds the Texan slammed one of Lavender’s spitters into the right field pavillion, and the drives came at the right time, too. One of Wilson’s wallops was on September 4, when the Cubs still had a fine chance of ousting the Gi- ants. It was & four-base smash in the eighth inning, with two runners on base that beat the Cubs. Another came on_October 3, Wilson’s homer in the eighth inning making the score- stand a tle in the game that: later was thrown out on a protest because Cotter batted out of turn. Throughout the season Wilson was a thorn in Lavender’s side. Aside from his three homers and three triples oft the spitballer, Wilson had sundry singles, etc, among them the punky base hits on June 2§ that robbed Lav- ender of credit for a no-hit game, It was a single to left field that evaded Jimmy Sheckard’s grasp.

A brief report of how it was done may help other villages: Four hundred and fifty American elms (white) and fifty hard maple trees, eight to ten feet high, were bought from a large Ohio . nursery firm near by at 40 cents each; freight and cartage to holes, 5 cents each; digging holes and planting, 16 cents each; ‘total 60 cents each. Nursery grown stock was bought because it cost less than to dig, scattering local seedlings or suckers, besides being far more compactly rooted and with far better fibrous roots than’ -any -non: nursery stock. “American” ¢lms from an Ohio nurs- ery were born fgom American elm seeds in Holland &nd had their tiny first season’s growth in that Dutch land. Why? Because the first year's growth takes much hand labor, and that costs about 60 cents per day there and $1.75 to $2 for the same grade here. Further, their richer, black, sub- irrigated soil is better adapted to the tender first year’s life and vigorous.| growth of the elm. At a year old they ‘would weigh scarcely an ounce. A week before the car of trees was due to arrive here four good men dug all the holes, about three feet in diam- eter and one foot deep and fifty feet apart, peeling a thin turf off first and placing the fine earth by itself. When ‘the trees came they were taken to the holes, the roots that had been bruised in digging were cut off smooth, ome man held the tree, sighted for the true line, “churned” the tree up and down to work the loose earth all in around the roots as it was shoveled in, slowly GENUINE COWBOYS Genu!ne at first, then tramped tty firmly |that said firm ped Lbretly. Armly BUNDREDD when all was in except the turf. This was inverted grass down and pressed down firmly. Some of the land was pretty wet, stiff clay, hard to pulver- ize. ‘We did the best we could in fining and packing it around the roots. So nearly all vacancies are now fllled, and ten years from now thrifty trees will beautify the streets, and twenty years from now a grateful shade will cool those who walk the -pavements, and fifty years from now this village, a fine residence suburb of Cleveland, will be known as the “Elm City.” And, by the way, in all New England I have never seen a single elm’more graceful than scores of ours in Hudson, planted forty or sixty years ago. .
