MAY REMEDY SPORT OF BUYING PENNANT The grand little sport of trying to buy a pennant, so lately instituted in the American League, is in for a drastic bit of legislation when the magnates congregate around the Hot Stove this coming winter, unless something goes awry. Ban Johnson is going to have his work cut out for him in smoothing over some of the deals that have been pulled off in his circuit this season, it is said on excellent authority. Several club owners, particularly in Washington and New York, are going to present some mighty strong arguments against a few magnates, with a lot of money being permitted to corner al] the stars in the league and make a one, two or three-sided affair of the race. One of the many .remedies sug- gested for this latest evil is not to let any club dispose of a player to another club after June 2—or after the real pennant chase gets started. It is practically certain that some- thing will be done, in any event. - 100-Mile Race Sunday. Dario Resta is not satisfied with the result of last Saturday’s 500-mile derby on the new Twin City Speedway and a popular price 100-mile race will be run next Sunday. The en- trants will be Bob Burman, Ralph De Palma, Dario Resta and Eddie O'- Donnell. The purse will be $10,000 of which $5,000 will go to the win- ner, $2,500 to the second driver, $1,- 500 to the third and $1,000 to the fourth. A third race is planned for October, the occupants to be picked from the winners of other speedway races. Zuppke Fears Gophers. From Muskegon, Mich., comes a report that although he carefully ‘withholds any direct statement, Coach Zuppke expects the University of Illinois eleven to be conference cham- pions again this fall, barring acci- dents. He declares, however, that he believes the University of Minne- sota team the strongest on paper of any of the conference levens. He also is of the opinion that Iowa looks like a contending eleven. Des Moines Gets Rag. Des Moines is the 1915 champion of the Western League. They have headed the league since the middle of June with the exception of one day in August when Denver occupied first place. Frank Isbell, former White Sox, is the manager of the flag winners. St. Paul Two Games Behind. St. Paul is a double header behind Minneapolis in the race for-the Asso- ciation pennant.. The standings now are: ‘Won Lost Pet. 66 .600 57 .687 If St. Paul should win two games and the Millers lose two, St. Paul will have a percentage of .594 and Minneapolis .592. Minneapolis Miss Bjurstedt Loses Cup. Mrs. George Wightman of the Longwood club, Boston, defeated Miss Mollie Bjurstedt, the national tennis champion, Sunday, in the final meet for the women’s club tournament on the courts of the Rockaway Hunting club, New York. The score was 6-1, 6-4. Mrs. Wightman was formerly Miss Hazel Hotehkiss of California. From New York comes the report that Packey McFarland is down to weight for his battle with Mike Gib- bons. He had little trouble in ap-| proaching the ringside poundage of 147 pounds. GIRLS AND WOMEN MAKE GRENADES NEAR . FIRING LINE (Continued from first page). ploded. The average number of frag- ments, determined after careful tests, is 220, the fragments being about the size of the tip of your little finger of very rough edges and, at short distances—these weapons are never used otherwise—capable of piercing a two-inch plank. They make very dangerous wounds. Are Packed in Sugar. These cast-iron shells, shaped like a lemon, are next cleaned; outside by brushes wielded by women; in- side by a revolving appartus resemb- ling an egg-beater. This inside cleaning is to prevent grit or par- ticles of iron remaining to cause a possible spark and consequent explo- sion while being filled with chedite later. Girls pack the grenades with the explosive which resembles sulphur or light brown sugar. A round piece of parafined paper is put over the opening and with a plug is forced down into the grenade’s neck to the point where the lemon begins to swell. Each Woman Has Special Work. ‘While this is being done the ‘“stopper” is assembled by other girls. From the wood tufning de- partment come the wooden plugs which close the grenade and contain the operating button. A hole runs through the middle and through this passes a Bickford time fuse. At the upper end,is a cap something like the cap of an old-time muzzle-loading gun which is exploded by the push- button mentioned above. At the bot- tom of the fuse is the detonator. The various operations of assembling this apparatus are performed by girls and women, some quite young, some old, grandmotherly and bespectacled. Bach girl or woman has but one op- eration to perform, however simple they may be. One inserts the fuse, another adjusts the cap, a third the detonator, a fourth makes the joint between the fuse and detonator safe by means of sealing wax and so on, the “stoppers” flowing smoothly down this human stream rapidly and with- out let-up until at last they pour into the grenades stream for final adjust- ment. Work is Dangerous. A hole is made in the tightly packed chedite with which the grenade is filled and into this hole the detonator is passed. The grenade is now near- ing completion and becomes extreme- ly dsngerous. Should one be dropped or the button of one hit against any hard object with force, an explosion results within four and a half sec- onds, the time these special grenades are set for. Consequently from now on, until the grenades are packed for shipment, all workmen sit beside a barricaded 'stone and brick over which a bomb which has met with an acci- dent may be tossed before it explodes. 10,000 Grenades a Day. In this strange war hand grenades have become of more importance in many instances than rifles and all along the front special corps of “grenadiers” have been formed. These are being drilled.in their special work daily. “Don’t tell where you saw us mak- ing grenades,” was the final injunc- tion of the colonel of artillery acting. as superintendent of the works. “We were visited by a spy this morn- ing. The Germans want to know just where we are so they can drop bombs on us from their aeroplanes. We sup- ply 10,000 grenades a day to one army so you see how important it is that we-keep working. Besides, we we don’t want our folks killed.” Tomorrow __ ‘““‘Subterranean De- fense.” huoonnunnuuuou: ECONOMIC TOWN PLANNING. In discussing the . economic phase of town planning it must be kept in mind that this in- cludes three factors, which may be called the physical-economic, the social-economic and the aes- thetic-economic. By the first we mean the efficiency resulting from purely practical, material causes; by the second, the effi- clency resulting from proper pro- vision for the social welfare of the community; by the third, the money value resulting from ar- tistic architectural and land- scape treatment.—Town Devel- opment Magazine. o jotsiotototoioteteioioioieioieioie ojeotetotoieoioioieioteioioioioioie - . - . - s (XX 1} Notice.

It is an old story to most po- tato growers that the tuber can- not be at its best development and of highest quality unless the vine can mature. The tuber is a part of the vine—an enlarged underground stem. If the vine §§ should die prematurely the tuber § is of necessity unripe or “green” ¢ and cannot finish its ~growth. Thus potatoes which grow on X plants that are destroyed or in- 4y Jured by blight are not unlike green apples in quality. They cannot be “mealy” or of highest quality because they never fin- ished growing. This makes clear . one necessity for spraying late potatoes which many farmers do not consider. We must keep the vines growing as late as pos- sible in order to have matured or high quality potatoes. The earlier varieties are usually eat- 4 en early, but the late varieties make up the winter supply, ‘when good quality is most de- sired. Thus we see the need of full spraying with Bordeaux mixture in order to hold off the blight and give the plant a bet- ter chance to mature.—Rural New Yorker. THE CALOSOMA BEETLE. Foo to the Gypsy Moth and Imported to Combat It. The calosoma beetle, which was in- troduced into New England in order to combat the gypsy moth, is declared by entomologists in the United States de- partment of agriculture to have firmly established itself in its nmew environ- ment. The first of these green beetles was sent from Europe in 1905. Between then and 1910 a little over 4,000 of the insects were. shipped to this country. They have multiplied and spread with extraordihary rapidity and are now so abundant that many people in New England are familiar with their ap- pearance and habits. Investigations show that these in- sects, both as beetles and as larvae, consume enormous quantities of the gypsy moth larvae. They are able to climb the trees upon which their prey are feeding and are most active during the periods when the gypsy moths are abundant. The calosoma beetle, in fact, seems to be admirably adapted in every way to destroying the gypsy moth. It is not apparently injured by the wilt disease which is so prevalent in its prey, and neither is it apparently affected by the sprays used to control the gypsy moth. At the present time it is regarded as the most important of the natural enemies of this widespread pest. Send the little ones to the Pioneer office for school supplies.
