The Most Original

A writer in the June American Maga- zine says:
 There exists in one of our great western cities a unique secret club called by the members. the Get-Out and Get-On club. 1t was organized + years ago by 10 ambitious men who looked upon themselves as not yet having won success. Membership for 12 years has been limited to 50 The rules are what makes this club different. No member may call himself success until the club votes him one, and when the club votes any member success. he is eX- pelled and his place is fnlIled by another. But before a success is expelled din ner is given in his honor and to wei come the new member. At this dinner the success must read a paper explain z ing to his fellows how and why he won. These papers are preserved

local chap to his officiating staff and Scotty seems due for another advance. (. ment. Scotty is undoubtedly a fine umpire and together with his antics on the field he will make good in any league
 The Newark Star-Eagle had the fol- lowing to say about the former South ern league umpire: President Bar row has unearthed future major league star umpire Scott Chesnutt is his name. Chestnut is a contortionist, an actor and gymnast all. in one. In calling every strike and ball he goes through the exact motion of how it was done in case some fans should have missed any of the windups of the pitcher Fans who saw the first game of the Buffalo-Newark series delight ed in Chesnutt's exhibition and are waiting to see how he will act when shifted to the bases.
 A Buffalo paper had the following: Ut was weird sort of game. but it was exciting, and the home team won. In addition, one of the most in- teresting unpires who ever officiated behind a plate kept the echoes stirred up and the players moving. It was Scott Chesnutt from the Southern league. He sounded like a siren on an ocean liner or one of those vail ing sort of horns they used to put on fire departments, but he had the pep. He is a wonder and a great ad- dition to the circuit
 It will do Birmingham good to know that Scotty is making such a hit in the Barrow circuit. Scotty has world of friends in Birmingham and scat tered all over the Southern league towns that feel confident that he will be the sensation of the International league before the passing of the sea son. Here's hoping Scotty gains a trial in the majors That's all he needs. He'll do the rest.

It is more probable that Grimes will be sent to the hill Either of these Baron hurlers will be able to hold the Lookouts and the Barons are sched- uled for win.

RACE CLOSE IN AMERICAN

In the American league, Cleveland ana Washington kept up their previous good work The Indians made it two straight victories from New York and then broke Washingtons winning streak by defeat ing Walter Johnson and his teammates on Thursday.
 Washington took the entire series of four games from Detroit. New Y ork broke even in two games and played a sensational 16-inning, 2-to-2 tie with De- troit on Friday. Harry Coveleskie pitched the IS innings for Detroit, while Cullop and Shawkey divided the box work for New York. Splendid fielding marked the contest. The tie game with New York was the nearest the Tigers approached to victory. The injury to Fritz Maisel who suffered a broken collar bone Mon- day. which will keep him out of the game for a month, is a blow to the Yankees.
 Philadelphia and St. Louis played bet ter, thus lessening the points between first end last places in the American league Myers and Bush again pitched good games for Connie Macks men.

GIANTS ESTABLISH RECORD BY RUSH
 FOR LEADERSHIP
Giants Playing Faultless Ball-Senat0rs and Indians Fighting for Lead in
 American

Setting a major league record for the season for straight victories, the New York National league team had on Saturday pushed it's way from last place to the top of the second division and only few games now separate the Giants from the league leadership. They have batted in fine style, fielded almost faulilessly and have been aid ed by exceptional pitching in the tight places. In addition they have run the bases we'll.
 For the week just ended the Giants made an average of 10 hits and five runs a game for six games. Anderson Benton, Perritt and Mathewson have ap- parently rounded into shape, thus lift ing a load from the shoulders of the Giant batters. Robertson, Doyle Fletch- CT and McKechne hit hard and oppor- tunely during the week.
 Brooklyn did little better than break even on the weeks work, but remained in first place, although threatened by Bos- ton in midweek. The league leaders lost two 10-inning games during the week and won an Thinning contest.
 The work of Philadelphia has improved and the league champions moved from fifth place to the second. The injury to Bancroft apparently did not break up the winning combination Boston played poor ly, winning only one game St. Louis dropped six games out of seven and fell from fourth place to seventh.

A. p. Dillmont, trade statistician,
says in recent bulletin that while
the United States manufacturers of
steel and iron are busy supplying
Great Britain, the latter is busy ex-
porting steel products, textiles, ETC.,
to Argentina. For the nine months
tended September, 1915, Mr.. Dillmont
finds that Great Britain shipped steel
products to Argentina in the sum of
about $5,600,000; textiles, bags, ETC.,
to the value of about $8,00O,O00; boots
and shoes $1S5,000; glassware, ETC.,
$S50,oo0 He says that the products
which he has listed, are only few of
those principally exported, and do not
represent one-third the total value of
exports for the period mentioned. It
looks as if Great Britain were buying
in our market and selling in Argentina
"a national middleman. Meanwhile,
under the Democratic tariff law, our
imports from Argentina continue to
increase, and our exports have de-
creased until the balance of trade is
against us,

WOMEN WIN SANITATION.
Their Wishes Were Respected by School
Board and Sanitation Committee
Was Appointed Tuesday.

Kenosha's public school parent-teach-
er associations have brought their in
fuence to bear in way that has pro-
cured results.
Last fall committee on sanitation
appointed by these clubs made report
which was not entirely creditable as to
the cleaning of the schools, or more
properly speaking, as to the lack of
cleaning.
At the meeting Of the board Tuesday
night special school board committee
on sanitation was instituted which is
to have the cleanliness and sanitation
of the schools directly in its charge.
1t was also decided at the board meet
ing that a woman is 20 be employed to
do at least part of the cleaning in the
schools. As will be remembered, Mrs.
Bradford, supported by the members of
the different parent-teacher associations,
was strongly in favor of better clean
ing facilities being provided, but under
the regulations Of the board at that
time it was not possible to arrange it.

TO GET EXPERT HELP.
State Entomologist to be in Kenosha
and Help its Citizens to Cope
With Shrub Destroyers.

Last year Prof. j c. Sanders, state
entomologist of the Wisconsin depart
ment of agriculture, discovered 2 large
area in the city of Kenosha infested
with the San Jose scale. The discovery
was made too late for effective treat
ment last year.
The time has now arrived, however,
for most effective treatment of the
scale, and T. T. Hack, deputy inspec-
tor in the division of entomology, left
Madison on Monday to take charge of
the work in Kenosha
Prof. Sanders anticipates that own
ers of shrubs In the infested area will
readily cooperate with his inspectors
in an effort to rid Kenosha of the scale.
The law, however, gives power to the
entomologist not only to carry on in
spection but to prescribe methods of
control. 1t requires owners to elean up
as the inspectors direct.
Official notices will be given all own
ers of shrubs in the infested area by
Deputy Hack, and it is expected that
owners will cooperate with him in rid
ding Kenosha of the deadly scale.
The scale is found principally on or.
namental shrubs and fruit trees.
Citizens will have the choice of do.
ing the spraying themselves, under SUI
pervision of the inspector, or they may
arrange to have the spraying done by
a professional sprayer. The cost under
the latter method will be less, and the
results probably more beneficial.
Prof. Sanders feels that if property
owners give full cooperation results
will be in every way acceptable, and
this menace to Kenosha' IS shrubbery
will be controlled.
