Kenosha Athletics Defeat the CHICAGO
Gunthers in the Hottest Game
OF the Season Sunday.
HUGHES DRAWS A BAD DRUBBING
Kenosha Team in Championship Form
Drives Him Out of the Box.-Jacob-
sons Great Pitching a Feature.

The urdefeated Gunthers, cham
pions of the amateur base bali teams
of Chicago, met their Waterloo at
Grand View park Sunday afternoon
when the Athletics. took them into
camp with a score of nine to three.
The game was one Of the fastest ever
seen. on Kenosha diamond. jacobson
was in rare form and the batters who
had terrified the strongest teams in
Illinois were mown down like hay.
Hughes, who is pitching for the
Gunthers, is booked for the big league
next year, but the showing that he
made against the Kenosha team will
not add to his Taurels. The Kenosha
boys hit the ball all over the lot, Sc
curing total of fifteen hits and near
1y every one of their runs were earned.
For the first two innings it was a
battle royal, neither team scoring, but
in the thiri the Gunthers started the
ball rolling and aided by couple of
errors and rank decision of the UNI
pire they managed to get man across
the plate. But the Kenosha batters
were not to be out done and in their
half Greedy" Hanks started matters
going with cracking two Dagger to
the fence. He scored on a pretty hit
by Horn, which was the first of
series of three during the afternoon.
Both teams were b1anked in the
fourth but in the fifth, after the
Gunthers had been retired, the Keno
sha boys began one of the most terrific
onslaughts ever seen on the diamond
in Kenosha. Kleist started it going
and before the team was retired every
man had been to bat and "Mr.'
Hughes had been touched up for four
singles and double netting five runs.
OF course this was safe lead but Just
to make the victory more emphatic and
fatten up batting averages the Keno
sha team went after Hughes in the
seventh and hit out two singles and
double for total of three runs.
With score of nine to two the
Gunthers had a batting rally il the
ninth and led off with three hits but
only one man was able to cross the
plate, as Jacobson managed to strike
out two men and third was easily re-
tired. The game was one that caused
the greatest enthusiasm among the
rooters and there was something do
ing" all afternoon.
The score of the ora mo fo11owc.

SHOT BY HUNTERS.
George Schauffel, of winthrop Harbor. Ii
Victim of Mysterious Shooting.

George Schauffel, of winthrop Harbor, is
Victim of a Mysterious Shooting.
George Schauffel, the twelve year
old son of Peter Schauffel, of Win
throp Harbor, was the victim of a
hunters rifle Sunday afternoon, and
while it is not thought that the boy
will die from his wounds, he was very
seriously injured. The boy in com
pany with his brother had gone to a
pasture to drive the, cows home, when
without any warning shot was. fired
and George fell wounded in the alb
domen. AS soon as possible the other
brother went to his home and secured
assistance and the boy was brought to
Kenosha for treatment. DR.. William
Pugh dressed the wound and the boy is
getting along as. well as could be ex-
pected.
The friends of young Schauffe1
searched the woods about in hope of
locating the man who fred the shot,
but no trace of him could be
found. For several weeks the woods
about the harbor have been crowded
with hunters and it seems apparent
that one of these hunters fired the
shot which resulted in the injury of
young Schauffel.

Pleasant Prairie and KenOsha Now
Connected by Telephone Line
With Local Connections.
FIRST MESSAGE SENT SATURDAY.
Line viii Probably be Extended to the
Powder Mills Later in the Summer
Big Benefit for Village.

Hello, Pleasant Prairie. For the
first time people in Kenosha were able
to use a telephone to Pleasant Prairie
last Saturday evening when the work
men of the Wisconsin Telephone conn
pany completed the work Of building
the new line. The first Message from
the Prairie was between H. A. King
and john B. Maloney, and with such
men at the end Of the receivers il is
safe to say that the line was opened
under auspicious circumstances. The
new line is wholly the property of the
Wisconsin Telephone Company and is
built for the purpose of extending
favors to the Kenosha patrons of the
company. The central office in Pleas.
ant Prairie will be at the store of H.
A. King, and as soon as demanded the
line will be extended to all portions Of
the village. Later on in the summer
line will be constructed as far as the
Latin & Rand Powder works at
Powdervi11e.
The new line is also for the use of
the farmers along the route from Ke-
nosha to Pleasant Prairie and excep-
tionally low rates will be offered to
farmers desiring to secure connection
with the city. The new line will be of
great benefit to the people of Kenosha
as some means of speedy communi
cation with Pleasant Prairie and the
surrounding territory has long been in
demand With the new system of
phones it will be possible for Kenosha
people to get almost any family in
RE it means a new connection with the
outside world. AS the new system is
connected With the lines Of the Wis
copsin and Chicago telephone com
will now be able to secure any city
reached by the two lines. For some
time the Western Union telegraph
company has had practical monopoly
of this business, but the telephone will
prove lively competitor.
The line to Pleasant Prairie has
been built as IN experiment by the
Wisconsin company and should it
prove successful it is probable that
many other rural lines will be built
within the next few months. The lire
is connected with every phone IN Ke-
nosha and the rates of toll to Pleas
ant Prairie will be ten cents for each
three minutes use.

Racine Boat Manufacturing Company
Seeks a Site on Jacobs Island
For Their Plant.
FAMOUS BUILDERS OF YACHTS.
Company is Forced to Leave Racine on Ac-
count of Lack of Dock Facilities
Now Employing so Men,

If the plans of the Racine Boat Man
ufacturing Company are carried out
Kenosha will have new industry
within the next six months. For some
time the Racine Company has been
hampered for room and it is now stated
that the company is. seeking a site
for factory on Jacobs Island just
north of Kenosha.
Walter Reynolds the President and
General Manager of the company ad-
mitted last Saturday that the company
was contemplating removing to Keno
sha but would give no definite state
ment as to the time'the change would
be made. Mr.. Reynolds stated that the
present plant was entirely inadequate
for the business of the company. The
managers of the company being Ra-
cine men have made every effort pos
sible to secure further dock property in
Racine but as this was impossible it has
been decided to move. Jacobs Island
seems to offer a splendid site for the
company. There is an abundance of
room for the building of large factory
buildings and the water is plenty deep
enough for all uses of the company.
The company is at present en-
p1oying 100 men but should the change
be made another addition will be made
to the force. The company is famous
company for yacht building and many
of the fastest boats on the lake have
been turned out by it. Growing from
a very small concern the company is
now recognized as the greatest pleas
ure boat building concern on the lakes.
Kenosha industries will be pleased to
welcome the Racine plant to Kenosha
and as the removal of the plant means
the bringing of some two hundred peo-
pie to Kenosha, the business men of
the city should make every effort to see
that the deal goes through.
Saturday morning the boat company
completed and shipped the big $4,000
steel yacht Louise which has been
built for John J. Mitchell, president of
the Illinois Trust and Savings bank of
Chicago, for his summer use on Lake
Geneva.
The handsome floating palace was
loaded carefully onto a st. Paul car in
the yards and left for the west Satur-
day evening.
The Louise" is built of steel and is
IS feet long, with beam Of fourteen
feet. She is finished with mahogany
throughout and is equipped with a 200
horse power steam engine. The boat
under fair wes thercondition is guar
anteed to have speed of fifteen miles
per hour.
The workmanship on the craft is the
finest obtainable and it has taken three
months to complete the job.
The boat is indeed great credit to
the local firm as well as the designer of
the company, Thomas Collier.
The boat company is making daily
shipments to foreign ports and this
season is the busiest that they have
ever experienced in their history.

Teachers Committee to Make Personal
Investigation of Candidates.
The Teachers Committee of the
Board of Education met Monday even
ing to resume the work of making a
selection of teachers for the High
school for the coming year, but moth
ing definite was decided. The num-
Der of candidates for the position of
principal has now been narrowed down
to eight and the committee have de-
cided that the Superintendent shall
make personal investigation into the
claims of each candidate. Superin-
tendent Baker will visit each candidate
and the places he has taught and in
this manner make an effort to get a
line on the work of the different men
It has been decided that no more ap-
plications will be received for the po-
sitions and the candidates now select
ed will have to show their worth. No
action was taken to fill any of the
other positions.
1n6Te mas DeSH some talk OF MIS-.
Mary d. Bradford Of the Stevens
Point Normal, and former Kenosha
teacher being an applicant for the pc.
sition but as yet she has not applied
for it. The impression that a man
should be selected for principal seems
to prevail and for this reason it is not
thought that the application of Mrs.
Bradford will be urged.

YOUTHFUL RUNAWAYs CAUGHT

Last Wednesday Located.

Frank and Hugh Duffin, Who Left Kenosha
Last Wednesday Located.
Two Kenosha boys, Frank and Hugh
Duf1in, aged ten and twelve years,
we're picked up by the Chicago police
on Saturday evening and taken to a
home for boys in the city to await
some inquiry for them. The two boys
had run away from their home in this
city on last Wednesday and had
planned to go to Indiana for an outing.
The family of the boys had been
searching far and near for them and
as soon as they learned that they had
heen detained in Chicago police officer
O'Hare was sent to the city to bring
them home.
They arrived Sunday afternoon and
were turned over to their parents. Be-
fore the boys were allowed to go to
their homes they were given good
lecture by the Chief of Police, and
they are now on probation. They gave
no reason for leaving home more than
that they desired to see more of the
world. Their first experience Of
roughing it seems to have been quite
enough and they were sufficiently
penitent to remain under the parent
al roof for several years to come.

RACINE COLLEGE WON.
Kenosha Y. M. G. A. Defeated in it's Initial
Game at Racine Saturday.


Game at Racine Saturday.
The Y. NJ. c. "A. base ball club made
its initial appearance in game with
the Racine College team on the latter's
grounds at Racine before large crowd
Saturday afternoon. The Kenosha
boys put up hard game from start to
finish, being beaten only by the stay
ing qualities of the Racine players at
critical stages of the game. The team
showed up we'll at the bat, Jerry
O'Donnell starting the game for Ke-
nosha with home run drive into the
right field. Glen Huff's double in the
third inning Melted three earned runs.
Eddie Cun1iskey occupied the pitch
ers' box for Kenosha and although
somewhat wild at times yet he pitched
splendid bali and kept the Racine
men from hitting the ball. He has a
speedy ball and deceptive curve and
with good support behind the bat will
make a brilliant record. The work of
James Blair at first base and Jay
Coder at short was worthy of special
mention. The Y. M. c.. A. team played
in the following order:
Jerry O'Donnell, catcher; Ed. Cum
iskey, pitcher; Jas. Blair, first base;
Frank Jackson, second base; John
Rock, third base; Jay Coder, short
stop; Lynn Hannahs, left field; Glenn
center field; Rob Lykes, right field.

A SMALL BLAZE.
House Owned by the Misses Wescott is
Slightly Damaged by Fire.

Slightly Damaged by Fire.
Shortly after eight O'Clock Sunday
evening fire broke out in one of the
houses owned by the Misses Wescott
on Wisconsin street. A Sunday even
ing fire in Kenosha was something of
novelty and it certainly drew a full
crowd of spectators. The fire was of
little consequence but the streets about
the little house were crowded with
people.
The house IS occupied by number
of Italian families and the FIRE origin
ated uader stairway on the second
hoor of the building. 1t was easily
extinguished by a generous use of the
chemical engine. The loss will be
about thirty dollars and is fully COW
cred by insurance.

The game Sunday showed plainly
the fact that Manager Al1eman will

no doubt but what Martison intended
to be perfectly fair but in some cases
his decisions, especially on base run
ners, were badly off.
Horn started out with couple of
bad errors on third but he made up for
every short coming by the way he hit
the ball when hits were needed.
The lemonade stand did splendid
business during the afternoon and if
business keeps up will have to seek
more pretensious quarters.
The threatening weather cut the
crowd down, but had the weather been
little more favorable early in the
afternoon the management would not
have been able to take care of the

FLAX
INDUSTRY
PROJECTED
Proposal to Establish Mill at
Once.
Eugene BOSSe of Belgium
Makes Definite Proposal.

One ofthe most important propositions
which has come before those who are
working for the development Of Great.
or Salem is now before the people. Mr..
L lgene Bosse, a flax manufacturer Of
North Belgium is in the city and proposes
to establish q fax mandatory at once,
provided a site can be secured. What Mr.
Bosse asks is that the old wooden mill
belonging to the Salem FIGURING Mills
Co. in North Salem, with power. be So
cured for his enterprise when
he will at once procure seed
from Belgium aud proceed to put in
a crop. Mr.. Bosse does not desire any
financial assistance whatever from the
people Of Salem. He merely wants q
cite and will at once proceed to institute
business which in proportion to the
amount Of money invested will do more
to make Salem a live town than any
other one industry which it is possible
to locate here.
Mr.. Boose says: "the people with
whom | am associated have determined
to locate in Oregon. If Salem will give
us the small inducement requested we
shall locate here. II not we shall
locate at Albany or perhaps Corvallis.
Aud may say also that the growth and
manufacture Of flax fibre, while 1t is the
6rst thing to which l shonld turn
my attention, would ultimately be
mere incident of the business,
tor in short time we intend
to establish linen millS, which
[ need hardly say would be of immense
benefit to the city"
Mr.. Bose has been all through Cana.
ds investigating the conditions there and
goes to Scio in few days to look into
the fax industry now operating there.
An effort is teing made to get the execu-
tive committee OF the Greater Salem
Commercial Club together that they
may meet Mr.. Bosse this evening and |
endeavor II possible, to arrange some
means OF securing to Salem this valuable
industry.
