SAN FRANCISCO, April 21. — Wll
liam Johnston, former national singlei
tennis champion, says he will go eas
this year and endeavor to regain th<
title of which he was deprived by R
Norris Williams.
"The date of my departure from Sar
Francisco will bo decided by the Pa
cific States Association," says John
ston, "and in deference to the policy
of the national body, it will be post
poned until as late as possible.”
The former champion may play in
the Southampton, L. I., tournament
an event held prior to the national. It
is his plan to concentrate all his en
ergies to the titular matches.
The Butte Anglers’ Club, considered
one of the livest clubs of fishermen in
the northwest, has completed plant
ing 750,000 fry of the quinnet salmon
variety in streams adjacent to Butte.
This is the first year that salmon fry
have been distributed In larger quan
tities in Montana streams.
Last year the club membership was
l,ooo. This year the officers hope
to increase the membership to 5,000.
The dues are $1 a year, the money ob

ing streams.
Far western shooters made an ex
cellent showing in the recent inter
city indoor range tournament. All

Portland, with twenty victories and
no defeats. The Olympic club of San
Francisco was second, with eighteen
victories and two defeats. Spokane
fifth, seventeen victories and three
defeats, and Seattle sixth with fif
teen victories and five defeats. The
scores given out are final but unof
ficial.
Followers of swimming are watch
ing the progress of George Shroth, of
Sacramento, with considerable inter
est, many believing that he will soon
er or later develop into one of the
aquatic stars of the country. Shroth,
who is only seventeen years old,
weighs 209 pounds and stands six feet
three and one-half inches. The young
Sacramentan only lately has begun to
learn the fine points of the crawl
and even as a comparative novice at
the stroke, has managed to finish sec
ond to Norman Ross, the Olympic
club star, in a number of recent sprint
events.
‘‘The Bobcats,” the basketball team
of the Montana State College, which
competed recently in the national
championships at Chicago, is given
credit of being the undisputed cham
pions of the far west. The team has
played twenty games this season and
has met with only one defeat. This
single reversal came at the hands of
the Illinois Athletic club, which won
the national title. Among the victims
of the Montanans were the champion
teams of tho state of Iowa and Michi

Walter McCredie, manager of the
Portland club of the Pacific coast
baseball league, is said to be wonder

man teams may be played in the Pa
cific Coast Ice Hockey Association
next season, according to association
officials. Frank A. Patrick, president
of the league, has announced that the
board of directors, at their next meet
ing, will consider the matter of chang
ing the teams from seven to six man
combinations.
The speed displayed in the recent
world’s championship series between
Ces Canadians of Montreal and the Se
attle Metropolitans, in which six man
teams played, indicated to many fol
lowers of the game that the absence
of the seventh player tends to speed
up the work on the ice.
Formation of a western slope Colo
rado baseball league has progressed
beyond the tentative steps. The actual
organization of the league has been
effected, with officers elected and
working, and seven towns — Delta,
Olathe, Montrose, Gunnison Paonia,
Summerset and Grand Junction—have
entered as members. The salary limit
has been placed at $450 a month to
equalize the quality of teams the larg
er and smaller towns may put into
the field. At least one other team Is
expected to enter the league.

WASHINGTON, April 21. — Now
that we understand what can be done
with the back yard garden, the next
question to take up is how to do It to
get the most out of our labor. If
everyone with a back yard should
plant a garden In It the result would
1 put a big dent In the high cost of liv
ing.
The city man has an hour or two in
the morning or an hour or two in the
afternoon after dinner. The exercise
will be just what he needs, for he
j will be getting back to nature. The
outlay is small for the returns it will
] bring.
I With a little care, here are some of
the vegetables that can be raised In
a back yard garden If the instructions
are followed:
Beans( cabbage, parsnius, cauliflow
er, onions, lettuce, cucumbers, peas,
beets, carrots, radishes, asparagus. It
will be seen that in this list are vege
tables that are commanding record
prices right now.
With prices the way they are, every
available foot of ground should be
made productive. In the work the
interest of the children should be en
listed, for they can help, and in help
ing their minds will be directed in a
path that will be of value in late
years.
The average back yard is 50 by 6(
First clean it up. Get those ashes u
out of the cellar, and if there are n
paths about the yard use some of th
ashes to make them.
Be sure the paths are straigh
Trenches should he dug along th
paths eighteen inches deep to secur
drainage away from the house if pos
sible. The soli thus found can be scat
tered about the yard and used to fil
depressions.
Put in these trenches the stones
broken bottles, bits of brick and crock
ery that may be found. Leave thi
trenches in this condition until thi
soil Is dry for spading, where the goot
beds are to be made.
The spade should be driven dee]
and the soil broken fine In turning i
over. All the stones found should b<
tossed into the drainage ways.
Before the garden is spaded give i
a good covering of manure and sei
that It is turned under the soil. Thet
rake well, making the soil as fine ai
you can. This should be done in sec
tions six feet wide across the garden
so that the soil will not be packet;
down again by tramping on it.
