GDRDLEY TALKS ON SPRAYS LIM-E AND SCXPHXTR BEST IF 1 THOROUGHLY APPLIED. Forest Grove Orehardists Discuss Problem of Combating With Fruit Pests. FOREST GROVE, Or.. Feb. 22. (Special.) A largely-attended meeting of the fruitgrowers of this section was held here this afternoon. Professor A. B. Cordley, of the state experiment sta tion, gave a talk on spraying and spraying materials that aroused much interest. During the past the station has been conducting some careful ob servations on the effects of spraying, and he reported on, these. He said that he had heard considerable complaint about results from orehardists in this vicinity who thought the lime and sul phur spray was not effective. He said all the observations he had caused to be made convinced him that it was effect ive if well done. The trouble, he thought, where good results had not been secured, was due to the trees not being thoroughly sprayed. Limbs of trees were exhibited . from orchards recently sprayed where not half of the bark had been covered. He had also found most of the commercial sprays now on the market good. He claimed that his students had found by actual count under the mlscroscope that 95 to 98 per cent of the scale on. all trees well sprayed had been killed. He thought two sprayings best, one about the time the buds began to swell and another with a weaker solution about the first of June. He reported on sev eral sprays. All things considered, he believed the lime and sulphur spray the best. District Fruit Commissioner Reed an nounced that the growers were deter mined either to clean up or destroy the Infected orchards this year. He got Into a lively discussion with some of those who thought him too radical, but he stood his ground and was heartily supported by a majority of his audience. County Inspector Harris gave a demonstration on the method of re storing an old orchard by cutting the trees back to within about a foot of the ground and then grafting into the stumps. In two or three years by that method they could have the orchard bearing again. The speakers were all plied with questions, showing that the people were keenly alivo to the Important subjects presented. Marine News of Taconia. TACOMA, Feb. 22.

Cronin and W. B. Fechheimer, who succeeded in getting them off in a bunch. The hares Mrs. F. O. Buff um and Miss Anne Shogren had started off one hour ahead and mapped out a most ideal route, placing their blind trails in the most mystifying manner and otherwise making the course one of which all rifcers expressed great appreciation. The ride took the participants through an ideal country, during which five stiff jumps were encountered and negotiated handsomely by each entry. For one half mile at the finish the course led straightaway on Milwaukle avenue, and gathered at the finish line were several hundred spectators who had gone to the scene in carriages, automobiles, by street car or mounted, and these anxiously awaited the appearance of the leaders. When the first riders appeared at the head of the streets the eager watchers commenced to cheer lustily and by the time they were able to identify the speeding contestants their .enthusiasm had reached a high pitch. Mr. Tongue, on Oregon Kid, entered the stretch with a fair lead over Mr. Herdman, the second rider to make his appearance, and succeeded in maintaining his advantage until the line was reached and he was declared the winner by a good margin. Bob Crawford, with Mr. Herdman up, finished strong, and James Nicol, mounted on Mowitza, gained third place in an exciting contest for that position. The starters and their mounts were as follow: Fred W. Leadbetter on Arab, J. C. Muehe on Stimy, F. O. Downing on Nigger, Harper Skuse on By Furnace, E. M. Lazarus on Juan Ballardo, Hugh H. Herdman on Bob Crawford, James Nicol on Mowitza, Bert Tongue on Ore gon Kid, Li. Leadbetter on Chief, William Walter on Gibson Boy, James Alexander on Call Bond. R. B.

Is 32 to 19. , Play Is Clean. The Portland Y. M. C. A. basketball team last night defeated the Tacoma quintet by a surplus of 13 the final score being 32 to 19 in favor of the home team. Desirous of avoiding the unsatisfactory scenes which so aroused the ire of the audience last Saturday night, the Y. M. C. A. directorate telegraphed for A. K. Wilson, of Newnerg, to referee the match, with satisfactory results to both sides. The play was of the cleanest possible character, and was a distinct lesson in scientific ballplaying. One of the largest crowds ever at the Y. M. C. A. cheered impartially both sides, the snap that characterized the playing of the home men perhaps making the spectators more than usually chari table to Portland's opponents. What more than anything else drew the applause was the clever blocking tactics of the Tacoma guard it was a revelation to the Portland men to see several of their best shots spoiled by the rapidity of the defenders In the earlier half of the game Portland had all the play, leading at the interval by 11 points, and It is very creditable to Tacoma, playing with a weakened team, that in the second half they completely held their opponents. Crane, for the Tacoma men, did the ma jority of the basket-tossing, and In one or two instances brought off long shots that showed either marvelous luck or ex cellent throwing abilities. Hartman and Young, as usual, carried off premier hon ors for the Portland Y. M. C. A. The former is, at times, inclined to be selfish with the ball, which Is not productive of the best results for the team. At one time practically every member of the local quintet had one or more shots at the basket within a minute, from posi tions just below; their unanimous inabil ity to find the basket drew a storm of ironical applause. The Tacoma men say the game was one of the cleanest and best fought they have ever engaged In, and as the sentiment of the losers, does them credit as sports men. The teams lined up as follows: Portland. ' Position. Tacoma. Hartman F Crane Gordon F Mills Young C Haddow Forbes G- Meredith Gordon, L G Jaeger East Side Beats Y. M. C. A. Second. The opening game drew almost as much excitement at the Y. M. C. A. last night as the one which followed it. Af ter a game remarkable for the amount of partisan spirit shown by both sides, the East Side Athletic Club secured a de cision over the Y. M. C. A. second team by 13 points the final score being. East Side 38. Y. M. C. A. 25. The East Siders were much the stronger team and played with a combination that was somehow lacking in the Association five, indeed the latter quite often gave chances to their opponents by their care lessness in marking their men. Moeson did good work as center the bulk of the Athletic basket-tossing lying between these men. For the Y. M. Pauch 'and Sheets were the shining lights. Some slight difference of opinion arose over the score between the score-keeper and referee, the matter being finally compromised. Director Ringler, of the East Side Ath letic Club, officiated with the whistle. The teams lined, up: Y. M. C. A. Position. . .E. S. A. C.
