GKE&IEST PLOT I AS TOLD TO Mb SMeiTon By HENRY BERRY. Owner, and President Los Angelas Bastball Club, and Who Is On of the Bast Authorities on Baseball on the Pacific Coast. The greatest play I ever saw In any league or at any time was made on the iLos Angeles grounds a couple of years ago by Mobler, who on that day was 'playing shortstop. The game was between San Francisco and Loa Angeles, and you know the rivalry that always has existed between the towns and the teams. Well, both teams about that time seemed to 'have about equal chances tot the pennant, and they were fighting for the e-arce, as it was the deciding one of the series. The game waa one of those free hit tlrg ones that always are filled with brilliant field ing, and on that day I - HENRY BERRY. think there was more action for tho n:oney than in almost any game I ever sew. The teams were on their toes every minute, hustling, fighting and pul'.lug off all "kinds of remarkable folding feats. You know it happens t ft way at times; it is contagious, a:,cl even the worst of them play great bell when spurred along by the others. -i rpito of the hard hitting neither tide could score many runs, and tho count was two and two when the ninth Irr.g started. San Francisco didn't arc re, and in the last half of the in-rl-g it looked as if we had grabbed tho game. We had runners on first and third, with none out, and then a pop fly and a strike out came along ard It looked bad for the run that was reeded. I was expecting an attempt at a double steal but instead they . trlsd a hit and run play. Mohler at shortstop was going to cover second to make the return throw to the plate when the ball was hit. He was inside the base, off his balance, and it didn't look as if he had one chance In a million to atop, get back and get the ball which waa hit right at the spot he had left. He stopped suddenly and aeeing it going past, dived backwards and sideways at it. and speared the ball. As he stopped it he fell flat on his back, with his feet pointing toward first base and his headout toward left field. The runner going to first was a fast man. There wasn't a chance to make a play either to second or to the plate as these runners already were nearly over and it looked like the game. Mohler didn't have a chance to get up. If he tried It. the runner would beat the ball to first and the game would be over. He dldnt try. Lying flat on his back, and without raising his head he threw toward first. The ball went over like flash straight into the first baseIran's hands. The runner was out and the game waa saved. We won it later, but I never shall -forget that ply. (Copyright. 1911. by W. O.

OUR

TREES - THEIR SOIL RELATION

BY PROF. JOHN F. THOMPSON. Soli is one of the most common-place things in the world. I believe we have Inherited a sort of dislike for it. When it is wet, we call it mud, and will go a block out of our way to avoid stepping in it. When the wind blows on a dry day in summer, the dust gets Into our eyes and into the bouse and we call it dirt and sweep It out. But if we would only remember the composition of our bodies, we might have a greater respect for this humble but very necessary natural resource. Tbere isn't a thing found in the human body that may not be found in the soil, and who knows but that he soil which we avoid because it is wet, may not some day be the dwelling place of a human life or some other form of life; or who knows but that, once upon a time, some one may have gone a block out of bis way to avoid stepping upon us. To be sure we do not feed upon the soil, or we think we do not, but plants do, and we feed upon the plants, or we feed upon the animals that feed upon the plants that feed upon the soil. We commonly think that one of the great differences between plants and animals is that animals have the power of moving about and that plants are fixed in the soil; but I think, when we consider how absolutely both plants and animals are dependent on the soil, that we will agree that this difference is merely incidental; and then not all plants are fixed to one spot and some animals are. Soil is so important in this world that where there is no soil there is no life, or it is very simple. Given two regions, with all of the life factors equal and the life forms will be simi lar; but let the soil factor be changed in, one, and remain the same in the other and the formB of life will be different. It Is very common to hear people who own land, speak of its fertility in terms of the trees growing upon it, as Sugar tree land, Beech, or Pine tree land. In the practice of forestry, as well as that of agriculture, it is necessary to know the nature of the soils. Much poor farming is the result of the farmer not knowing his soils. Much time and money and labor might be saved by the study of the soil. Soil that produces twelve bushels of wheat per acre here would be made to produce forty in Germany. Much of the land in this country that is now regarded as worthess could be made productive if people would study the conditions and needs of the soil. There isn't much unproductive land in Germany or France. There are too many people there per acre. They must make every foot of soil produce, and it does because the people over there know howl Before plants can have tha perennial habit or assume the tree form, the soil must be of considerable depth so that the roots may make a good foundation, and that there may be a steady supply of material for plant food. The soil must also be of such a nature, that it will furnish a steady supply of water. There are some small plants that live near the ground that get their supply of water from the atmosphere, wBen it is moist, but trees do not; they get all their water from the soil not any from the rain that may wet their leaves. The bark and foliage may absorb a very small amount but compared to what they actually need and use, this amount is quite insignificant. Now, a tree cannot take food from the outside world as animals do. in the form of a solid. It makes its food .out of the gases it gets from the atmosBOWLING RESULTS The Cubs jumped to the top of the city bowling league last evening when they downed the Tigers in three straight contests at the city alleys. The victors, headed by a score of 200, made by Youngflesh, did the most consistently good rolling of the present championship series, averaging, well over the eight. hundred mark. Summary: Tigers.

The clay pipe, which is vanishing from the Fleet street chophouse. was the only variety, smoked la this country until quite recent times. The clay pine made Its appearance in England in the later years of the sixteenth century. Writing about a century later, a French author remarks that the English 'invented the pipes of baked clay which are now nsed everywhere." "Broseley, In Staffordshire, has been famous for Its pipes and clay from the days of Elisabeth," writes W. A. Penn In "The Soverane Herb." .

pbere and whatever minerals or gas it gets from the ground dissolved in water that is taken in through the roots. Ordinary plants, like trees require to sustain and continue their lives ten chemical elements: vis. carbon, hydrogen, oxygen ,and nitrogen; sulphur, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and iron. The six last of these are found in the ashes of wood when it has been burned and therefore represent what' comes from the soil. There minerals are all dissolved out of the soil by water and enter the plant in solution through its roots. The four other elements, when wood Is burned, escape into the- atmosphere from whence they came and represent by far the greater part or the solid material in a plant. In a previous article, the importance of water in the lives of plants was pointed out. In this connection, may be added another characteristic. Water is the only liquid that comes any way near being a universal solvent. There are very few metals or minerals that water will not dissolve. When, therefore, the rain falls and sinks into the ground it dissolves these six minerals out of the soil, and coming in contact with the absorbing roots of trees they are taken in with the water. It must be therefore, apparent that If trees are to do well their capacity for taking in water should not be reduced, for they are thus deprived not only of water but of these necessary plant foods. Now while water is absolutely necessary to dissolve these minerals out of

the soil so that they may be availa- j ble for the tree, yet very few trees or land plants of any kind can take in through their roots water in liquid form or in the way we think of water as a liquid. Some trees, like the willows growing along a river, develop water roots, and send them out of the soil into the water of the stream. Most people in stooping down for a drink at the Chautauqua spring have noticed long slender reddish fibres floating abundantly in the clear water. These are the water roots of the-willows that are standing near by. The willow has these in addition to its soil roots. Plants that grow either submerged in the water, or partly so, absorb water through their entire surface, and their roots, if they have any, act only as anchors; but trees like the oak, that are strictly land plants get their water supply through their soil roots, and these roots cannot use water in the form as it exists in a river or spring. That they do not use water in this form must be manifest when we re member that in the summer, days and j weeks sometimes elapse in which , there is no rain and yet the trees in the forest and along the streets, and j the field crops are obtaining a steady ! supply of water from the soil in which j they stand, while it is evident that the j water from the last rain has snk into the ground far below the level of the longest root, or at least has reached the level of the shallowest well in the neighborhood. When it has been shown by experiment that a maple tree thirty-five feet in height, well developed, and with as many foliage leaves as such a tree should have, takes from the soil through its roots and casts off into the air through its leaves more than a barrel of water daily in the summer, it would not be surprising if we wonder where it gets that amount when it hasn't rained for a month or more. This will be the subject of another article in which the structure of soils will be considered. Where It Could Be Seen. Sign Painter I don't see any suitable vacant space on your walls.
