and leave rough provided the land
will become thoroughly dried; the
heat and lack of moisture will go
far in definitely killing the roots.
If growth commences weekly culti
vation must be resorted to in order
that growth may .be ‘prevented.
Smothering will then take place, or
in other words, the plant will be
deprived of food. Gathering and
hauling Twitch off the land is too
expensive. Deep ploughing is ef
fective against Twitch—the. roots
are buried so deeply that only the
stronger ones are able to reach the
surface and unless allowed to de-
veloii leaves will not send out creep
ing rootstlks under the surface.
Work put upon the land to con

cultivation provides a fine, firm

A highly successful season in the
South Perth Ball League was brought
to a memorable close at Fullarton
Village on Wednesday of last week
when before ’a crowd of a thousand
people the three league leaders batt
led in a double-header for the cham

played, the issue of both games
were always in doubt and certainly
the fans got a big money’s worth,

EXECUTIVE COM
Big Sammy Shier, who had pitched
good ball for the winners .in the first
game, had a full time job. He went
in again in the second and continued
the same brand for seven innings,
when he took a rest, hut only for a
few minutes, for Motherwell landed
on the substitute pitcher for five
runs, and Sammy was stuck in again,
but it was too late. Both teams
played good ball. The rough condi
tion of the outfield accounted for
an occasional raggedness in the play.
Billy Nairn’s 'boys played a good
steady game, the kind that made
Motherwell famous back in the pio
neer days of base’ball in this district.
After Motherwell seemed to have the
game on ice, Mt. Pleasant staged a
come-back in the ninth, and with a
bit of hard hitting tied the score, Il
li. The extra inning brought an
additional run for Motherwell, 12-
11. McKenzie’s hitting as a feature
of the game. He hit out a long dis
tance swat which was the longest
hit seen on the grounds in many a
day. It was the only home run of
the day. K. Roger pitched a steady
consisent game for the winners.
The Motherwell batting list was as
follows: Roger 2b; Nairn lb; Berry

The presentation of the champion
ship trophy immediately followed,
the game. Before calling upon F.
G. Sanderson, M.P., to perform the
honors, President Stewart paid a tri
bute to the winning team. He said
that never in the history of the lea
gue had any complaint ever come
from the Motherwell team. He be
lieved the South Perth League had as
fine a bunch of boys as was to be
found in any county in Canada.
In presenting the cup to President
Nairn of the Motherwll team, F. G.
Sanderson, M.P. referred to the fine
record of the nine, in losing only
one game played this year. They had
also won the trophy last year. Moth
erwell was noted for nianv things,
among them baseball. And in by
gone days its reputation for good
baseball -ad extended throughout
the Province. Mt. Pleasant had al
so played two good games of base
ball during the afternoon had done
well. Staffa had also put up a good
fight. He also recommended
true spirit of sportmanship that
vailed in the League.
