The Chestnut nine has held the lead practically from the start of the season, with Center Market furnish- ing the only serfous opposition. In 27 starts Ross Fisher's men have turned in 24 victories for a percent- age of 88 Center Market comes in for runner- up honors with 21 wins in 25 starts, and Chesapeake and Potomac Tele- phone Co. occupies third place, with 16 triumphs in 24 attempts. Allen Mitchell Co., Willlams-Webb, W. B. Moses and Sons, Evening Star, Thompson's Dairy, Standard Oil and Lansburgh finished in order. AUTH TOSSERS WIN OVER CORINTHIANS Taming the Tygers was pie for Walter Johnson beside the task picked for him yesterday when he was chosen to manage the Corinthian Midgets in their battle with the Auth Midgets yesterday as a part of the Boys' day celebration staged at Amer- ican League Park. Barney's team was licked badly by the Auth nine, managed by Otto Wil liams, Detroit coach, but the youthful tossers put up a good battle and were on even terms with thelr enemies un- til the sixth and final innings, when an Auth rally netted four runs and gave the Wiillams crew the edge, 6 to 2. The Corinthians threatened to tie things up in the last half of the sixth but Chester Rothery bore down and fanned the side after two runners were occupying the bases with none ou The three big league umpires, Moriarity, Geisel and Hildebrand, worked the kid game, and took the affair as seriously as though it were a world series tilt. Umpire Moriarity, who has been present at all the Boys' day affairs this season, was much im- pressed with the work of Rothery and Scheer, the Corinthian hurler. Bucky Harris was presented with a silk flag after the game by the Harris Insects, who attended in uniform.

W ITH the increasing number and size of our national forests, and the widening of interest in forestry among State governments, opportunities for forestry work are opening up, and the demand for forest rangers and patrolmen is increasing. I find that many young men who want to become forest rangers have little conception of the duties of a ranger. Hardly a weck passes that I do not get a letter from somebody with a love for the open who is anxious to enter the forest service. ” S v The ranger doesn't simply “range.”| United States” forest rangers, and In fact, he ranges very little, in the usual meaning of the word. He does a great deal of work, some of it him- self, but much of it simply in a super- visory capacity over crews of men hired temporarily. He is responsible for the condition of all trails in his district, and if there is water trans- portation, he is responsible for the condition’ of the portages. If the for- est is in the West, he is responsible for grazing in his district, and must have a good knowledge of live stock management. g He has charge of the forest service telephone lines in his section of the forest, and must understand mainte- nance and construction of these lines. All bulldings, such as ranger stations, field stations, and so on, and all fences, corrals and other outworks are his to care for, and he must be able to build new cabins, repair old ones, or do any such work necessary. On some forests he has launches and ca- noes, and he must understand the re- pairing and care of these, which in- cludes a knowledge of gasoline marine engines. He must know how to drive an automobile and repair it if neces- sary when in the fleld. He must also know horses and their care, including shoeing them if necessary when out of town. And while he is doing the various things outlined above, he has to cook his own meals, do his own housekeeping, mend his own clothes, be his own surgeon. That is about all, excepting that he must always spot fires, and hav- ing spotted them, he must know just how to fight them—must work his crew to check or put out the fire. He must understand the woods and how to get along in them under all conditions. He must be able to spot tree diseasés. It might appear to the reader that the forest ranger must be a graduate of all the colleges in existence. But this, of course, is not so. He learns, in the hard school of experi- e must be naturally resource- ful, initiative, in his understanding qualification. He must have it in larger doses. He must be able to use his head irrespective of the situ- ation in which he finds himself. He must be self-reliant, able and, what is even more important, willing to take care of himself. Of course the forest ranger is a graduate of his own school. Rangers are seldom employed out of civil life. Most of them start as guards or patrolmen, whose duties and responsibilities are not so varied. The forest ranger always is a fine fellow. I have met a great many T fellows why they wea ARIS GARTERS NO METAL CAN TOUCH You 25c to $1 Tme for a fresh pair? .. R A, have never in my life met men who;! as a class, are such fine men as these are. They work, of course, for very low salaries. But they love their work, which more than makes up the deficit. But the forest ranger is not a per- son in picturesque garb who rides the ridges looking at the views and for snapshots for good-looking tourist ladie: SPORT AFTER LOSING Each of Their Rivals Also Rushing Finish EW YORK, August 5.—The Pir. in the big league races, have tion to the fact that both are i N time ago.

NEW YORK, August 5—When Frankie Genaro and Fidel Labarba square off against each other on the 25th it will be a_case of two former world amateur flyweight champions | trying to eliminate one another from | the roster of contenders for the title v the late Pancho Villa.
