Another series ended with Saturdays games. Crane No did the cleaning ball, field, while two of the Brassies three wins over the Yosts were given with thanks by the league directors. Crane No. l and U. M. c. won 2-1 over the Singers and A. & B. respec- lively.
 There is a good fight on between Rykman of the A. & B. team and FL infieFder's cup. Both men happen to be first basemen. The Crane No. 2 man at present is ahead of his rival by .490-.433. A good contest would have resulted between Pitcher White of the Yosts and Pitcher Ennis of the U- M- C. team Ennis is at present batting .412, just five points more than White was White, however, had been his rival. But White was a Yost man. and that means?'
 Sherrin, the rotund right fielder of the Gunmakers, surprised himself Sat- urday by gathering in four hits, a triple, two bagger and two singles.
 Little Marty O'Connell, the fleet cen ter fielder of the Crane No. ? team, was the only player who on Saturday made a-perfect record. The mark is all the more laudable. as the hits were made off Pitcher Higgins. who struck out eleven men in the game.

 An effort will be made by the league directors to get either the Holmes & Edwards Co.,. or the Locos to take the Yosts place in the league.

A stairs-cIimbing Automobile.

The world has grown accustomed TO
the use OF automobiles for purposes OF
transportation, pleasure or racing, but ii
remained for an automobile in Washing
ton, D. c., the other day, to make the
public more than "situp and take notice. p"
As every one knows, a wide flight OF
steps extends from the portico OF the cap
itol building to the ground. These steps
are two hundred in number, and are ar
ranged in three tiers with generous land
mgs between. The distance covered
from the street line TO the main entrance
OF the building is one hundred feet. To
successfully drive up these steps was
without doubt as severe test as motor
had heretofore been put to. 1t was done
however. The car used was an ordinary
twenty-horsepower machine. The en-
CINE was set at low gear and flying
start was made. The machine began
its upward climb steadily and successfully,
never stopping until the portico was
reached. The auto gained sufficient mo-
mentum on the landing surmounting each
flight OF steps to prevent the elevation
and resistance OF the steps from stopping
its motion.

Orchard Saved from the Scale.

What is considered the most remarka-
BILE 1909 apple crop in Pennsylvania has
lust been sold at the orchard OF c. c. Gel
wick. ST. Thomas. He raised 4, 5O0bush-
els of apples on a thirty-acre plot and
sold them at the orchard for 5000.
Three years ago MIR. Gelwick was un-
able to get ten cents bushel for his ap-
pies and decided TO chop down all his
trees and raise wheat and corn.
The entire orchard IN 1906 was affected
with San Jose scale. The trees were
withered looking and the apples very small
and worny. Economic BIOLOGIST Sur
face heard of the decision OF Gelwick, Wis
tied the orchard and found it filled with
trees about eleven years old. He advised
the spraying OF the trees with boiled
lime sulphur solution.
The trees were sprayed in 1907 and
that year off Of six acres he 600 bushels
of the finest kind of apples. Last year
the crop was fine again, but this year,
when the neighbors' orchards were bear
ing only third to half crop, the trees
were loaded down with apples, some OF
the limbs being pressed to the ground by
the weight OF the fruit.
After spraying the trees none OF them
died and now all are in most flourishing
condition. The spraying has had a ben
eficial affect upon all of the orchards in
the neighborhood, for all OF the farm
ers who formerly believed only peach
trees could be helped by spraying now
know that the San Jose scale can be
driven of of apple trees for good.
It is necessary in spraying that the prop
er solutions be used. S. s. Rhinehar,
OF Mercersburg. recently sprayed 1900
trees in his orchards with an oil solution,
and practically every tree has been killed.
