Stages—The Coming of the Red
Troopers a Source of Joy.
All fandom Is in expectancy now
for a successful baseball season in
the South Texas league. With tae
schedule of games adopted the um-
pires appointed and tne players all
signed the South Texas league is
about ready for business. There will
hardly be any more cold weather and
the pleasant days will now be utilized
for training purposes.
Some of the players are already on
the ground and will have the benefit
of early seasoning so that by the
time the opening games are played on
May 1 they will be in mid-season form.
Every club in the league will have
plenty of players to pick a team from
this season. The San Antonio club
and it is believed every club will have
about twenty players on the list and
from this number the ones making the
best showing will be retained.
It Is not expected that any club will
carry more than eleven players at
least it should not if it Is to be intend-
ed as a money-maker and the club
which will be fortunate to get off well

The coming of the Cincinnati Reis
for spring training is looked for-
ward to with much pleasure and when
they arrive here they will find a first-
I.-* minor league park awaiting
them. The long-cherished hope for a
sodded diamond is about to be real-
ized. In tae new park which is now
under course of construction the soil
has been planted with Bermuda grass
and this will soon begin to sprout.
When once started it will not take
long to cover the diamond and by the
time the Reds nrtive the diamond will
be in good shape.
In >'98 when the Reds were here-
under the leadership of Buck Ewing
they were disappointed in finding a
"skinned" diamond. They were pleased
with everything else and the weather
was ideal but they wanted a grass dia-
mond. Now that this has been provid-
ed. together with other facilities
which will be put in at the park it is
expected that the Reds will make San
Anton'o their permanent spring train-
ing quarters.

fl LOBSTER CACTUS
CROWS ON fl ROSE BUSH
SOME STRANGE THINGS TO BE
SEEN AT THE NEW SUN.
SET DEPOT
Harry Adams the Local Gardener of
That Road Accomplishes Some
Ver v Strange Things in the Way of
Graft ng Plants —One Single R0t e
Bush Contains Seven Varieties of
Roses Which Bloom at Once.
There are many things to be seel
aiound the new Sunset depot in tin
way of grafting and Harry Adama
:he local gardener is responsible fol
this condition of affairs. His recent
achievement in this Une and om
which is attracting a dreal deal ol
' attention is a lobster cactus grafted
on a wild rose bush. The combination
•ilant which is fifteen inches high Is
In tho window of the main waiting
room and It already shows a healthy
growth. The leaves which are small
are of a dark green cblor and to the
touch they feel like rubber. Mr. Ad-
ams is now anxiously awaiting his
creation to bloom to see what kind of
a flower it will produce. On the east
side of the depot Mr. Adams has an-
other curiosity planted in the nature
of a rose bush which bears seven va-
rieties of roses. Mr. Adams Is quite
an entertainer anj is describing his
grafting process said:
"I do not And it. a very difficult
task in grafting and I firmly believe
that anything that grows in soil can
be grafted and results obtained. In the
case of the lobster cactus being
grafted on the rose ousb the former
ootains the substance from the latter
and gives it life and growth. In the
near future I will have another sur-
prise in the way of grafting that I
expect to place in the garden but I
cannot do so at present on account
of the weather.”
Under the careful management of
Mr. Adams the Sunset gardens are
considered to bo the prettiest in the
south and it Is one spot that tourists
delight to take snap shots at with
kodaks while passing through the
city. Several northern and eastern pa-
pers have recently reproduced large
Half tone cuts of the depot with ap.
propriate inscriptions under the cuts
designating the new station and gar-
dens as the beauty spot of the Alamo
c.ty.
B:q Cactus Planted.
Harry Adams the local gardner of
the Sunset with the aid of seventeen
big able bodied men succeeded in in-
stalling the monster Sahura cactus in
Its bed in the depot garden yester-
day. The tree which stands twenty
feet out of tho ground makes an im-
posing sight and Mr. Adams was in
the limelight all day for his success-
ful efforts. Before the crate haj been ।
removed from the monster plant a
largo throng called at the depot on
foot and In carriages to view this
curiosity. Many pictures were tak n
at the novel sight by local photograph-
srs and kodak fiends and no doubt the
pictures will be used as souvenirs to
»e sent out.
Division Superintendent H. F. An-
lerson of the Sunset deserves a great !
leal of credit in securing this plant
is It was through his direct eff rts
hat the Pacific division officials ha ! |
he tree taken up and shipped to this :
x>lnt. Mr. Anderson Is now after an-
ither monster plant called the "Club”
•actus on accqnnt of its peculiar
ihape and he hopes to have It shipped
tero from Arizona In the near future.

EYE-DENTITY
ESSENTIAL
The physique is seldom perfectly
r? mmetrical. Most people show a
difference somewhere. One shoul-
aer may be naturally higher
than the other — the tailor
I ads the lower one. One may
have a long leg and a short
lig—the cobbler adds additional
sole to one of the shoes. And so
on. If your eyes are identical they
will not Inform you of it. but will
< 0 their work without complaint;
but if they are painful you should
accept it as a direct information
’.hat their vision is defective and
the chances are that they are as
ligmatized. although the pain and
Inconvenience may be from other
causes.
Our Mr Rees can tell you at
cnce by thorough examination all
about it. as his successful career of
uany years can attest. Every mod
cm and approved appliance is at
his disposal and the examinations
are free.
