ningS.) Chicago, 8; Washington, O. TO CONSIDER
 TWO PROTESTS
Industrial League Directors to Convene
 Tomorrow Evening.

President E. T. Buckingham of the Industrial League has called a special meeting of the directors of the League for tomorrow evening at the Y MICA. to consider the protest of the Crane No. 2 team of the Yost-Crane No. 2 game of July 10th, and the Crane No. contest of Monday. July 5th. The Crane No. protest is based on the much discussed playing of Bill Reg team. What the directors have to consider is whether Regnery is a ''bona f1de' employee of the Yost Co.,, eligible to play with the Yostites, though he is employed in New York by his company It is understood that the Crane No. team will with draw their protest, although no ac- tion to that effect has been brought to the attention of the secretary of the league.
 No. Cranes protest of the Crane the umpire, whom the No. 1 manage ment claim was incompetent. The manager of the No. team in his pro- test cites a number of incidents of the contest in which the umpire clear ly erred. The decision on this pro- test will be turned over to the Super visor of Umpires, McCann, who has charge of protests against the um- pires. The No. 1 Crane team has an- other remedy should Supervisor Mo- Cam decide against them, as they can again protest his decision to the directors. In this case a curious in- who was the umpire in the game in dispute will be sitting as a director, now being manager of the Bridgeport Brass Co. team.

Sight Lost and Restored.
 A farmers wife who had had much trouble with her servants was accosted by one of them.
 'I fear I shall not be able to work much longer. I think I am going blind"
 "Why, how is that? You seem to get along pretty well with your work. ,"
 "Yes, but I can no longer see any meat on my plate at dinner.".
 The farmers wife understood, and the next day the servants were served with very large and very thin pieces of meat.
 "How nicer' the girl exclaimed. My sight has come back. can see better than ever"
 How is that, Be1la?'' asked the mis- tress.
 'Why, at this moment" replied Bella. 'I can see the plate through the meat."-London Scraps.

He put on 13 points during the week. Miller lost ground as did BannonN and Hit, both of whom have fallen out of the select class. The big improvement of the sessions was the playing of Kocher and Schmaltz, Ossie added 39 points and the Kid IS. By the way Kocher has hit safely in most every game since his return to the game. Tho

ORATORS NOSED OUT
 IN F INNING 60

It took twelve innings of good base ball for the Ponies to defeat the Ora tors at Springfield Saturday, the final run coming in the tweTrrh, score to 4. Porray started to twirl for the Ponies. but was relieved by Murray Parker after essaying for four innings in which as many runs were made from his delivery. Parker was almost in vincible allowing two hits in eight in nings, both of which were credited to Kocher, who seemed to be the only Orator outside of Hi Ladd who could hit the ball. Kocher out of five times at bat connected for four hits, a triple, two two baggers and a single. Ladd was able to take two singles and double from Porray, but could not hit Parker. Gibbs pitched a fine contest for the Orators the hits he allowed being quite scattered. A force, a hit, a wild throw, followed by single produced the final run. The score:

NEW FOREST ASSISTANTS
 AND THEIR WORK

Washington, July 19.-Forty-seven young graduates of nine American
 Forest schools have just received ap- pointments as Forest Assistants in
 five of these appointees have been as signed to the Washington Office, the
 other forty-two receiving appointments in the six Administrative Districts in the West These men have secured their appointments as a result of pass ing the regular Civil Service exami-
 nation, which is the only avenue of employment as a forester under the government.
 Forest Assistants are men who have completed their preliminary training for the profession of forestry, as the graduates of law or medicine have completed theirs, and are ready to en- ter upon practical work. Uutil they
 have gained experience, however, their positions are necessarily subordinate.
 They are at the foot of the ladder and
 must prove their fitness to mount higher. The government pays them S1, 900 a year at the start.
 On the National Forests the Forest Assistant often acts as technical ad- wiser to the Supervisors in charge, who are western men experienced in all practical matters, but usually without school training in the science of forestry. Or they may be assign ed to the study of some particular problem which needs to be investigat- agement As forestry means know ing how to get the most out of any given piece of forest land, it calls l for studies and experiments, both scientific and practical, much like those which have to be made in the interests of good farm management, and the Forest Assistant is prepared
 to do valuable work along this line. There is a growing interest in the profession of forestry now, and many young men are asking how to get int O | it. and what it promises. Clifford Pin chot, United States Forester, in an address to the graduating class in forestry at Harvard University this , year. said:
 ''The government and the country need more men trained in the knowl- edge of forestry, and it offers oppor- tunity to make mans life loom large and to count for much among the many phases of human endeavor.
 To be a good forester a man should combine something of the naturalist with a good deal of the business man. To know how to use the forest he must be able to study it. He must have, therefore, the power of observa- tion, a fondness for nature, and the ability to penetrate her secrets. He

His Passport.


 On one occasion Gustave Dore, the artist, lost his passport while on tour in Switzerland. At Lucerne he asked to be allowed to speak to the mayor, to whom he gave his name.
 ''You say that you are M. Gustave Dore, and I believe you," said the mayor, ''but," and he produced a piece of paper and a pencil, "you can easily prove it"
 Dore looked around him and saw some peasants selling potatoes in the street. With a few clever touches he reproduced the homely scene and, ap- pending his name to the sketch, pre- sented it to the mayor.
 ''Your passport is all right" remark ed the official, "but you must allow me to keep it and to offer you in return one of the ordinary form"

must be resourceful, able to stand by himself, willing to undergo the priva- tions of rough life, and capable of commanding the respect of rough men, who quickly recognize virility and genuineness of character, but will not tolerate pretense or the assumption of A forester should be sound in mind and body, and should make the fullest college preparation for the service. This service means a free, vigorous life in the open air, and a clear, straight, fine, wholesome manly condition of life"

The league leaders and the tail end CTS tried conclusions Saturday at the M. A. c. lot, and after playing five Innings, when darkness put an end to the match, the ump called the game with the "Locos'' way ahead of the Jennings Brothers team, the score be- ing 17-5. Although but five innings were played the losing team within that time had rolled up 13 errors, while the winners had gathered in 14 hits. It was youngster by the name of McMillen who made the bluff at pitch ing for the Jennings team. No one else would relieve him, so he lasted the five innings. The winners showed their class in the field by contributing only one error. Every man on the winning club had one or more hits to his credit. The score.

The Blind Man Whispers,

In Fellsgarth, where the Lathoms
were well known-old James Lathom
was one of the largest employers of
labor in this busy manufacturing
town-the news of young Lathom's
arrest, following so swiftly on the dis
covery of Philip Hume's murder, had
created an indescribable sensation.
Every one was talking of it excited
ly. Wherever men foregathered no
other topic was discussed-on change.
at hotel bars, in the streets. At first
the news had been laughed at, was
treated as huge joke. Who in the
whole town was less likely to commit
a murder than easy-going Jack
Lathom, whom every one liked? Men
asked each other who put these "spook
stories" into circulation. But present
ly the news was confirmed beyond all
question
The general trend of popular feeling
was reflected in the attitude of the
crowd that had gathered outside the
town hall, waiting for a sight of the

accused man as he emerged. 1t was
known that he had been brought up
before the justices early that after
noon. The proceedings were merely
formal; the prisoner was remanded
for a week.
AS Jack Lathom appeared between
the two constables and was hurried to
the four-wheeler drawn up in readi-
ness, the police roughly pushing back
the press of murmuring bystanders to
clear way to the cab, for an instant
there looked as if a rescue was likely
to be attempted. IT was a critical mo-
ment; it had only needed leader to
give the initiative to the crowd in its
sullen, dangerous mood and a rush
would have been made.
Good luck to thee, jack" shouted
burly, grimed foundryman among
the crowd. 'Thou'lt be all rect yet,
lad! Three cheers for Jack Lathom!"
The ringing cheers, given with all
the strength of those North country
as it drove off with Lathom and his
escort of two constables to the dis
trict Jail, showed in which direction
the sympathies of the crowd ran.
On the edge of the crowd, and per-
haps the most excited person in it,
was man in q motor car; he was
standing on the seat of his car, cheer
ing frantically-a young man, with
chubby face so absolutely pink-and-
white and cherubic, and eyes so alb
solutely china blue, that irresistibly
one was reminded of very large and
expensive doll, which if one only
pressed it in the proper place would
squeak Mamma" quite realistically.
Freddy Thornton-all his friends
called him Freddy-suddenly stopped
cheering, to accost a police officer
who was passing on the outskirts of
the crowd.

deep bass tones sounded rather like
the mislaid voice of some burly giant
Of man, which Freddy had appropri-
ated when no one was looking
hanged if you of the force haven't
broken your own record this time for
