Result of BoSfon-Defr0if Series
May Decide Championship

Boston hearts to Lannins club.
Crowds similar to those which attend.
ed the Braves-Giants series last sea
son were expected to crowds into
Fenway Park today.
1t was pretty certain today that
Jennings would shoot George Dauss
at the Carrigan clan in the opening
battle, although he may decide to
work Jean Dubuc. George Foster was
the dopesters' selection to do the
chucking for the Red Hose.
If the Tigers can take today's game
and tomorrow's game they will be on
even footing with the leaders, and a
two game lead will be theirs if they
take the entire series. Jennings las
everything to win. and comparatively
little to lose That. in itself, is reck.
oned enough to provide a regular bat
tie. Three out of four games to Bos-
ton would practically put the Tigers
out of the running, while if three out
of four go to Detroit, it will mean
hectic battle all the way down to
the last September quarter.

games that probably will decide whe-

The Tigers, individually and collec-

lead this trip. And once Boston is
gone, they opine. it's going to be a
clear field and no bitches to an Octo-
Der pennant.
Boston is rather infiamed about this

the fact that the Braves stand only
an outside chance to cop in the Ma

CHICAGO, Sept 16.-According to
reports, this will be Jimmy Archer's
last season in the big leagues. The
Cubs star catcher, it is said, in
tends TO quit the diamond to 90 into
business this winter and will not re-
turn to the Chicago club. Archer is
considered the greatest backstop in
the National League, and although
Manager Roger Bresnahan has been
doing splendid work behind the bat
for his team this year, Archer's SER
vices will be greatly missed. Fans
hope that Jimmy will reconsider his
determination to quit and will be on
hand next year.

Mouth Filling Street Names.

A French contemporary has been
amusing itself by making list of
long street names and offers the
Partisan record-Rue DIES Pretres-
Saint Germain-l'A uxerrois.
That is a mouthful, but it is
equaled by thoroughfare in Brus-
sells that rejoices in the name of
Rue de la Montague aux Herbes-
Potageres, In the outskirts of the
Belgian capital there is even more
of tongue twister, the Ongeschil-
Observation-Disclosures which
may be translated as the street of
the little unpicked silver nut.

There is more humor in the
schoolroom than in the press or
theater, some one has said. The
youth who described a volcano as
"a mountain where the world busts
through" and the crater as "the
place where it splits out" had his
facts, though he clothed them in
somewhat unusual terms. There
was picturesqueness too in the small
boys description of a natural his
tory museum as "a dead circus. :"
And Joy was brought to the heart
of Mark Twain by the sentence,
'There's a great many donkeys in
theological gardens"
Sometimes, Of course, the pupil
will come to grief, especially in
cases when one is asked to define a
word and then use it. One attempt
ran thus: "Despot-a ruler that is
feared Me teacher swatted me wild
her despot."

WINNING THE NORTHWEST.
Only For Missionary's Foresight 1t
Might Not Now Be Ours.


But for the foresight of mis-
sionary the United States would
have traded to Great Britain that
immense territory that now forms
two OF the greatest states of the
northwest, Oregon and Washington.
Marcus Whitman had crossed the
plains and the mountains to Oregon
and knew from a years residence
the value of the country. He also
knew that the Hudson Bay compa-
ny was anxious to obtain possession
Of the whole northwest and had cir
culated the report that it was i'm
possible for emigrants to cross the
mountains in wagons.
At dinner given in 1842, at
which Dir. Whitman and several of
the company's chief officers were
present, news was received that a
band of British emigrants had cross
ed the mountains. Toasts were
drunk in honor of the event. "Now
the Americans may whistle! The
country is oursw one Of the Eng
lishman exclaimed jubilantly.
But Whitman thought otherwise.
The next day he started for Wash
ington on horseback. He made the
journey in winter and with frozen
limbs called on Daniel Webster, then
secretary of state. Upon his pres
entation of the case Whitman was
gruffly told by Webster that the
country was worthless and that he
as secretary of state was about to
trade that worthless region" for
valuable concessions with reference
to the Newfoundland fisheries.
Finding that treaty had already
been approved by the senate and
was awaiting the formal ratification
and proclamation by President Ty-
Ter, DR.. Whitman sought the presi-
dent. When the missionary had
finished his story the president said:
"Sir, your frozen limbs attes
your sincerity. Can you take emf
grants across the mountains in
wagons?"
"Give me six months and l will
take 1000 across" said the doctor.
of you can take them across"
said President Tyler, "the treaty
will not be ratified"
In 1913 a band of emigrants, un-
der the guidance of DR.. Whitman,
started from Missouri for Oregon.
A deputation from the Hudson Bay
company met them on the plains
and advised them that it was impos-
sible for them to cross the noun
tains in their wagons. The emf
grants decided to leave their wag
ons and finish the journey on horse
back.
As this course would have ruined
Whitman's plan of saving the coun-
try to the United States, he labored
with the leaders of the band until
they consented to follow the doc
tors advice and guidance. The band
did cross the mountains in wagons,
the treaty was not ratified and the
fertile northwest was saved to the
United States Washington Star.

Wanted Slogan.

From Clinton, On. J.,) Democrat.
Clinton is on the verge of great
civic revival. The board of trade
organized back in the COS and re-
organized once or twice since, has
again been brought to life, this
time with fuller membership and
more enthusiasm than has been ex-
perienced in any former crusade
for business.
Prior to beginning an extensive
advertising campaige a slogan must
be secured to be SYNONYMOUS with
all that Clinton has and stands for.
The board has offered seven prizes
for the best suggestions and anyone
is eligible to made try. The first
prize is $40, the second SIS, and five
81 prizes will be given particularly
good thoughts that may be used in
supplementary advertising. The slo-
gan should consist of not more than
five words. Address all answers to
the Publicity Committee, Board of
Trade. Clinton, N. j. Contest closes
July l, 1915.
To give anyone not acquainted
with our advantages some suggest
ions we might say that Clinton is
Situated among the hills of Hunter
don county in the valley of the
South Branch of the Raritan river
and one of the most beautiful
sections of the state. 1t is in the
famous peach belt and richest agri-
cultural region in the East. For
the country home and suburban
residence its location can not be
equalled. Having an altitude of
nearly 700 feet it is mecca for the
health seeker and vacationist.
1t is SIS miles from New York on
the line of the Lehigh Valley and
has also connections with the New
Jersey Central by two auto routes.
1t is also on the direct macadam
road from New York to Easton.
Other advantages are two Ma
tional Banks, excellent stores, a
public library, fire department, two
first-class hotels, "a hour electric
service, an approved 4-year high
school and picturesque streams fur
nishing fishing, boating and bathing.
Aside from its advantages as
home centre it is advantageously
situated between the two railroads
as an industrial town and the board
stands ready to assist any worthy
enterprise desiring a country location.
