TWO INTERESTING AFFAIRS
Wednesday is Date Set for Two School
Entertainments-One is in Balm
and One in High School.


At 4 p. m. Wednesday the Kinder
garten Association of the city has
planned an entertainment which will
be of interest to all who have children
IN the city school kindergartens, for
each teacher is to give demonstra-
ton Of her work with pupils from her
classes in the High School assembly
hall.
At 8 p. m. the Balm School will hold
its third annual Christmas sale and ba-
zaar, followed with neighborhood
dance, all in the auditorium of the
school building. While the sale is i'm
portant and many splendid articles
will be offered to buyers, the entertain
ment will attract fully as many. The
minstrel show given by the fifth and
sixth grade boys so successfully in a.
recent Balm entertainment, is to be re-
peated. The alumni mazurka will be
danced by W. A. Hansen, physical d.
rector; Miss Hattie Schuman will
read; the Girls Club members will
dance a Spanish folk dance and other
interesting numbers are listed.
The kindergarten entertainment will
be particularly interesting because the
stage work of very young children all
ways has the charm of sincerity and
absolute Inconsistencies of self. The
children this year have many delight
ful numbers planned, and all of the
program is part of their daily work
lns schools, the only difference being
that they will be in gala attire and
perform before an audience.
After Miss Dare's pupils from the
Glllett open the program with music.
the Deming children will play the
hunting game. The Columbus little
ones are scheduled for the water sprite
dance, while those from Balm will pre-
sent the Herr Schmitt" and the ttI
See You" dances. The Weiskopf will
give the "German Hop" those from
Glllett, The Thread Follows the Nee
die. = The Frank kindergartners have
A Collection of Rythms," the West
Prairie are assigned to 'fMother
Goose, = and the Durkes boys and girls
to ythmic Interpretation of "Three
Little Kittens Have Lost Their Nit
tens" Ice cream cones will be served.

BRoKE GEE L1GHrrNa POLE

An automobile driven by Otto Rudd
cut OFF some electric service for the
west part of the city on Sunday after
noon. The automobile was not rough
shod and when Mr.. Rudd turned round
the corner Of West Main and Prairie
avenue, running at very moderate
rate of speed, the car skidded and
plunged into big electric light pole
near the corner. The pole was broken
off just as if it had been cut with a
buzz saw. The automobile was not
damaged and Rudd lost no time GET
ting out of the way of the pole. The
pole did not fall, the wires being sufi-
cient to support it. Several of the
wires were broken and the police main
tanned guard to prevent any one get
ting mixed with the live wires until
temporary repairs could be made by
the workmen of the Electric company.

just jolting up old memories of the
,,ast announcement is made today that
the ''Thousand and One Club is com
ing back. In fact it has come back
and in short time application is to be
made to the secretary of state for a
state charter for the organization
which is to be known as "Kenosha
Badger Thousand and One Club. "
This hasn't anything to do with boost
ing the population Of Kenosha to one
more than a thousand. 1t is just an
organization of good fellows most of
them live wires, who are going to try
and do something. Thus far fifty mem
bers have been enrolled for the charter
and new members are being added to
the list every day in the week. John
+. Langan, former manager Of the New
Park Hotel, is president of the
"Thousand and One.'' Sheriff Andrew
r. Stahl is vice president, and Ted
Fonk, secretary. The handling Of the
funds as treasurer is committed to
former Mayor M, j. Scholey.
Two meetings Of the club have been
held, but they have not beer adver-
tised on account of the fact that the
men promoting the organization have
not as yet determined on it's future
plans. t1We may apply for state
charter within short time, !" said
President John r. Langan this morn
ing. "The plans Of the organization
are just little hazy. Tt is not going
to be a political organization in any
way. In fact, the first declaration was
that the club should be non-partisan.
1T might be just little hard to tell
just how many members the club has
mt present, but it is considerable over
fifty When we get ready to tell all
about it the people will be fully adj
vised. It's main plan is to do some
thing for the town and furnish a
chance for a lot Of kindred spirits to
get together every once in while
and have a good time
There are a number of men with a
sprinkling of gray in their hair and
some with hair white as snow who win
wonder if there could be a come back
for the Thousand and One." Time
was when the trip over the burning
sands into the Kenosha chapter of the
Thousand and One was one of the big
annual events of the year for Keno
sha. The old club had quarters in the
Grant House, for years and it num-
bered among its members many Of the
best known men of the city. 1t was a
boosting club and the members were
busy most of the time trying to attain
something new for Kenosha. The old
members of the Thousand and One
we're also kindred spirits and they had
lot to do with putting fun into cir
culation in Kenosha.
There has been no formal organiza-
tion of the club in Kenosha for more
Than twenty years and doubtless there
win be no objection to this new or
ganization adopting the old name with
the varieties suggested.
Active solicitation of members for
the new organization is now going on
and when the charter list is filled it
will be made public.

Princeton, N. J., April 7.-Untimely errors on the part of the Princeton nine, coupled with the superior hit ting of the Fordham team, gave Ford ham a 4-tO-0 victory here yesterday afternoon. The visitors hit Chaplin the Tiger pitcher, hard when there were men on bases, while Martin, all though he allowed five hits kept these we'll scattered. He practically was in Vincible when a Tiger score seemed likely.
 The FOrdham nine scored two of their runs in the fifth inning McGinn was safe when Driggs threw wild over first base, and Fitzpatrick who reached first a minute later when Law, the Tiger captain, fumbled the throw to get McGinn at second on Fitzpatrick's grounder. Both men scored on Martins single to right field. The visitors tallied two more runs in the ninth inning, in which both Berringan and Blake found Chaplin for doubles. The score:

Otto Schmarr and Danny F'itz- patrick are next in line With three , victories and two defeats. Charley Larson is next in order having found but one man that he could defeat, while Wally Campbell was even less fortunate, having accumulated goose cggs so far.
 One of the finest exhibitions of the series was given by Hermann Schmarr last evening, when he de- feated Wally Campbell 100 to 34 Displaying rare form the winner ran off the balls in remarkable manner twice clearing the table Of the pile and having other runs of 13, 10. 1O.

The Difference.

But, unlike the National league, there has come no big upset to bring other clubS to the top
 The Mackmen dropped down to the bottomless pit last fall, but the two clubs that fought out the jubilee were Boston and Detroit. And the two clubs picked for 1916 are the same two, with only Chicago con- coded a good chance to crack the combination.
 Chicago has a chance, but if Bos tons pitchers fail to drag the Red Sox across the odds are that Detroit S rugged attack will land first money and so keep one of the Big Three in command of the league.
 The Thrcc-ToWn Rule.
 Just why it is that three cities in each league should rule affairs for so many years is beyond the limits of any present comment. But the facts gre that it has taken the American league longer to break up it's Flag Trust than it has taken the National.
 The three N. l.. rulers caVed in to- gether in 1913, but in reality the Pirates and Cubs faded out after 1911, when they made their last stand and were driven back by the Giants.
 How much longer Boston, Detroit or Philadelphia is to rule the younger league is a matter of doubt. ! But the end isn't so very far away, whatsoever 1916 produces The White Sox now have the stuff to get going. The Yankees are bubbling up swiftly out of the old rut, and the Browns, under Fielder Jones, are sure to be a factor by another year. So here at least are three clubs to take up the chase when Detroit and BOs- ton begin to slip, whenever that may be.
 Flag DestinieS. It may be hard to explain why a few cities have gathered in most of : the games glory, and yet there is ; his to figure on. In almost each in
 stance it has been a matter of a
 great manager and one star. Pitts ; burg had Clarke and Wagner for her combination. New York had 1 Mathewson and McGraw. Detroit : had Jennings and Cobb. { The Athletics had Mack and a ! flock of stars. The Cubs had Chance and enough talent to win under aver age managing.
 For g Nucleus. A fine leader is, of course, a flying start. And the job gets easier when one has a man like Cobb or Mathew son or Wagner or Collins or Speaker . to build around
 But this doesn't explain all of it, for the Yankees have had stars and managers that included Clarke Griffith, George stallings and Frank Chance.
