THREE TIED IN BILLIARD PLAY World’s Three Cushion Tourney Underway In New York New York. Feb. 21.—SU.R) —Frigid winter grips the city, but there's plenty of heal in the billiard parlor* where three-cushion maestro* of the world are buttling in the hottest tourney staged since Egyptian* started poling little balls around in the shadows of the pyramids. This world three-cushion championship is to end Friday, after an extension of three days, but officials of the National Hilliard Association fear it may develop into a marathon because of the tight and brilliant execution displayed by the four m*m left in the tourney. 'i urea ace* today were tied for leadership, a condition unprecedented at this stage of previous world tourneys. They are Welker Cochran. defending champion; Jay Bozeman and Johnny Layton. Each has won seven games and lost two in the 11-match series. Willie Hoppe, the other remaining contestant, hus little chance to win but hi* ability may cause trouble for Cochran of San Franciaco, in Hoppe's final match tonight. In the other match today. 1 27-year-old Bozeman of Vallejo. Cal., youngest player in the tourney, tackles Layton of Sedalia. Mo., who is seeking his 11th champ-1 ionship. The calibre of play in this tournament has been higher than in any previous championship, according to Earle Ward, the association's publicity director. He expects the grand average to make previous marks as outmoded as current airmail contracts. "Performances of Bozeman and Allen Hall of Chicago, comparatively newcomers to championship play, is proof positive that the younger , generation of billiard players are catching up with the old-timers faster than was expected," Ward i said. "They certainly put a real kick into this tourney." 0 Pleasant Mills To Play Alumni Team The Pleasant Mills hgh school will play its final game of the season Thursday night, meeting an alumni team at the Commodore gym. Two games will be played, th- - contest starting at 7 o'clock. No admission charge will be made.

wtth the j. HOEs™ says Rotate Crops for Better Yield To the city back lot gardener whose space is limited, ami who I has a garden for economy a* well !as the quality of the vegetable* he raises, rotation of crops is a ' scheme he should become familiar with before he starts planting this spring. Along with it. a definite plan for the garden is a necessity. Rotation of crops simply means the planting of the same vegetables in different parts of the garden from year to year. Each ! kind of plant has its particular I combination of foods which it takes from the soil, nnd when the same plant is grown in the same spot for a long period of time, ii naturally exhausts that location of those food elements which it consumes most heavily. To obviate this, avoid planting the same vegetable in the same place two years in succession There are four general botan- . leal orders that include a large i portion of the vegetables: the cress or mustard family, legumes, the umbel bearers and the nightj shades. To the first belong rad j ishes, turnips, cabbages, cauliflower. kohlrabis and kale. To the second belong all the peas and beans. To the third belong pari snips, celery, parsley and carrots. The fourth includes tomatoes, notatoes, eggplants, and peppers. By placing the vegetables in the warden in one or the other of those classifications, you can determine your rotation of crops very easily. For instance, a legume should not follow a legume; I cabbage should not follow turnips. I etc. First, however, you should have a plan of the garden, so that you will know exactly where each i type of vegetable has grown, and will not plant another of its type in the same spot the following ! year. Not only in annual planting, when the groups are moved to different sections of the garden each year, but in succession planting the same season the same practice should be followed. Plant a member of a different I family as a follow-up crop in each i instance. Here are a few illus-

trations: W’°*' cabbage follows potato..*; bMUW follow radishes: turnip* i Iman*: turnip* follow pons; tomatoes may follow young onion* or spinach. Proper rotation of crops, along : with success on, when planned out properly will assure the city gardener of a quantity ganlen that will also prove of high quality Tax Administrators Adopt Resolutions I (Indianapolis, Ind..
