M'GRAW WORKS
HIS OWN SYSTEM
flaw York Manager Has Substi
tutes Equal of Hegu ars.
WINS WITHOUT HIS STARS.
Utility Men Show Up as Well as the
Men They Replaced In Several
Games Team Is Well Fortified In All
Positions.
By TOMMY CLARK.
A short time ago a New York base
ball critic exhibited much joy over the
fact that the Giants did not have
Bakers. Cobbs. Wagners. Lajoies or
ether stars of the infield or outfield.
At the time It seemed that a coinmis
sion on sanity should be appointed to
examine the dome of the writer who
penned such an idea. That was before
the subject was given careful thought.
Now we are willing to admit that it
was pretty wise "dope" which the
Gotham scribe handed out.
Don't jump at conclusions, follOf
course Johnny McGraw would grab
Cobb. Baker, Wagner and Lajoie. . He
would immediately replace men who
are regulars ou the Giants now with
any of the stars mentioned. The fact
remains that McGraw does not have
any of the four .300 batsmen and bril
liant performers in all departments.
Therefore McGraw has worked out a
system of his own.
Larry J5oyle is not only the regular
second sacker of the New York team,
but he is the captain. Yet when Larry
was injured recently Shafer was plac
ed at second and in batting and field
ing did equally' as good work as Cap
tain Doyle. In other words, Doyle is
not a star, and therefore it did not re
quire a star to fill his shoes.
During that same period Fletcher, re
garded as the regular shortstop, was
hurt. Again McGraw was prepared.
He had Groh. a young player, who
filled in at short field. It was difficult
to notice the difference.
Now, on the other band, take Cobb
away from Detroit and what4s the re
sult? Well. it. has been pretty gener
ally agreed that the Tigers have lost
25 per cent of their offensive powers.
Some writers insist that Ty is 50 per
cent of the attack. Mack is usually
well fortified in substitute material,
but either Collins or Baker is such a
loss to the team that it is noticeable.
When a capable manager like Mc
Graw can develop a team made up of
rather mediocre material with substi
tutes for every position just about as
good as the regulars he is better forti
fied than the manager who has a team
built around three or four stars and no
substitutes who can take the place of
those stars when they are lost through
injury or illness.
The title of the "hard luck manager"
belongs to Charley Dooin, leader of the
Philadelphia Nationals. Last season

him of the pennant. This season the

and Happiness
(OREGON CITY PUBLICITY)
Oregon City, Ore., May 10,1912.
The soil and climatic conditions of
Clackamas County relative to fruit
raising and what can be accomplish
ed by a greenhorn.
From 1889 till 190718 years, I had
followed working at paper making, be
ginning when I was 16 years old, con
sequently I knew very little about
anything pertaining to fruit growing
-1
1
S. O. DILLMON,
Practical Horticulturalist
or tilling the soil. But in the spring
of 1907 I became imbued with the idea
of becoming a fruit grower. I had
read of what the people of Hood Riv
er were doing and bow greenhorns
had started and became successful
growers and were earning a comfort
able and independent living. I thought
to myself, if other people can do these
things so can I. In April, 1907, I pur
chased in Mt. Pleasant in that sec
tion known as the Warner tract, a
.10.40 acre piece of land, which was
partly cleared. The purchase price
of this was $775 there was about 4
acres of this ceared and in crops. I
cut the crop, which netted me $51.25,
leaving the total cost of $723.75 for
10.40 acres or $69.59 per acre. We
finished clearing some of the remain
ing 10 acres at a cost of about $40 to
$50 per acre, using some of the wood
which reiduced this cost some. We
then set 5 acres in orchard. Some of
my neighbors talked discouragingly of
an apple 'orchard in this locality,
while some gave me great encour
agement I set acres in apples and
1 acre in Lambert and Bing cherries.
My knowledge of fruit growing was
very limited as I said my life had been
spent in the paper business, but I got
books from the Corvallis College of
Agriculture and began to be what they
call a book farmer. A little later I
purchased 7 acres, all cleared, adjoin
ing me for $128.58 per acre. I spent
every spare moment early and late
looking after the trees', studying bul
letins and the remainder ur my time
holding my job in the paper mill,
which meant bread and, butter to us.
Some people said to me," How long
will you have to wait for that orchard
to come into bearing." I answered,
"Six or seven years" and they said
who would want to wait six or seven
years. Well, it is quite a while to wait
but remember the old saying, "all
things come to him who waits." We
have kept digging away and in No
vember, 1911, 1 refused $5000 or practi
cally $300 per acre for the land I pur
chased in 1907 for $69.59 iier acre.
I have two acres of it set to straw
berries, from which I will reap a fair
sum this year. My cherry trees, plant
ed four years last November, and they
are now more than 4 inches in diam
eter, and will yield a nice amount of
fruit this year for young trees. My
apple trees grew 5 feet last season
and I have kept them cut well back
each year, making a wood growth and
not prunning for fruit. Consequently
I have built a fine foundation for a
tree and the result that a few are
blooming this year, but will not be al
lowed to bear to any extent. The
next season they will be allowed to
fruit, and from that time on I expect
to be reaping the result from by hard
labor. '
Last year I had less than one-quarter
acre in strawberries, which yield
ed $55 in fruit and about $40 or $50 in
new jlants. Most any of the land in
Clackamas is well adapted to fruit
growing, especially that section where
the ground, is a little rolling, so that
there is a good drainage for the roots.
Fruit does especially well around Or
egon City and from there East to the
foothills of the Cascade range there
is no better fruit land in the State of
Oregon. The Garfield Country and all
that section around Colton is fine
fruit land and it is only a question of
time till all this county will be de
veloped, with Electric railroads and
this whole country now lying dormant
and covered with tall timber will be
cleared. '
Anyone In Clackamas County who
has not visited either the Garfield or
Colton districts for the past five years,
go to that country and you will see
some remarkable Improvements The
country around Oregon City, while it
has no advantages over the rest of
the county in climatic or soil condi
tions in the growing of fruit, Its con
ditions are equally as good, but the
natural waterways for shipping facili
ties are here and cannot be changed.
: We have two steamboat lines, also
the S. P. Ry. and one Electric Line,
by which we can ship and another

fort.as the furnace is to winter comfort.

land, which will afford another means

My advise to every young man is
to get busy, get a piece of fruit land
somewhere in Clackamas County and
go to developing it.

CUBAN NEGROES. ARE
URGED TO MASSACRE
HAVANA, Cuba, May 22. The sit
uation is rapidly growing more ser
ious, reports from Santiago show. It
is now estimated that over-5000 neg
roes have taken up arms in the prov
ince of Oriente alone.
To assist in the movement to sur
round the negro insurgents, nrther
reinforcements, two compaines of in
fantry and two batteries, of artillery,
entrained here today for Oriente. The
government troops already in that
district number more than 1200 men
The negroes, under General Evaristo
Estenose and General Ivonett. are op
erating at El Caney, El Cobre and
San Luis, in the vicinity of Santiago.
While the situation, arising from tbe
racial revoluntionary movement, is
unquestionably serious and apparent
ly growing more dangerous, the ret
icence of the government renders im
possible a precise determination of its
gravity.
The only thing absolutely certain is
that a condition of insurgency exists
among the negroes of Matanzas, San
to Clara and Oriente provinces, es
pecially in Oriente, and that the gov
ernment is straining every nerve to
stamp out the rebellion.
The new Cruiser Cuba had hardly
anchored here before she received
orders to take aboard 600 infantry
and artillery and proceed to Guanta
namo. The Secretary of the Inter
ior, Senor Aruna, said the report al
leging there were 2000 insurgents in
Oriente was greatly exaggerated.
The American minister, Arthur M.
Beaupre, visited Secretary of State
Sanguilly to demand protection for
the property of the Jurague Iron Com
pany, on which a band of insurgents
under Ivonett is reported to be com
mitting depredations. The Secretary
gave assurance of protection. Mount
ed patrols guard all the roads ap
proaching the capital, and all police
reserves are kept at the station-house.
It is reported, but without confirm
ation, that Colonel Armentecos, who
has been operating in Santa Clara
and threatening to destroy all foreign
property, has been killed.
A oorimia fnatiirn of the situation in
Oriente province is the presence of'
many Haytian negroes, who recently
entered the province and are report
ed to be inflaming the Cuban negroes
by citing the example of the Haytians
in exterminating the whites in their
country and urging the establishment
of a biack republic in the eastern end
of Cuba.
It is reported that several schoon
ers from Hayti have landed cargoes
of arms.
General Ivonette recently received
$10,000 in payment for his services as
General during the revolution. It is
belived he is using this to purchase
arms for the presnt rising.
Two . American citizens, Floyd
Schick and Joseph B. Ryan, have
complained to Ross S. Holiday, Amer
ican consul. at Santiago, of being as
saulted and robbed by armed negroes
while on their way to Siboney.

TWILIGHT ACTORS
DELIGHT BIG CROWD
The play given at Twilight Hall
Saturday evening by the Twilight
Community Club was well attended
by the home people as well as- from
Mt. Pleasant and New Era. The play
entitled "Hans Von Smash," was ren
dered exceptionally well with prob
ably Miss Marie Harvey staring for
the women and George Lazelle, play
ing the part of the proprietor of the
farm, carrying out his role the best
among the men. In fact all of the
parts were well rendered and -espec-
ially fine were Charles Schmeidecke
as Hani, the leading comedy part and
Mrs, Charles Schmeidecke who was
the Irish girl. Miss Vera Camp was
quite at home in representing a pleas
ant young lady of ability and Messrs.
Bert Harvey and James Lazelle hav
ing had actual experience on the road
with a stock company, of course made
all possible out of their parts. Miss
Jesse McDonald who had the play in
charge deserves much credit for the
way it was handled.
Another play is planned for the com
ing Fall as .Twilight has a good thea
tre with a modern stage and equip
ment and also has experienced actors
and an orchestra.
