The forest service gives great im portance to the necessity cf carefully burring brush and of the establish ment of trails through the forest, so the small fires may be the more easily got at. The brush should be piled in small piles and each pile burned in dependently. This work is best done in the winter, when there is snow on the ground, or when the air is moist and less liable to spread the flames. The careful watching of a tract makes it safer, because hunters, camp ers and others crossing that tract are more careful of their fires. By effi cient supervision most of the unneces sary fires can be prevented. As part of this supervision by the forest service ail the government for est reserves are posted with warn ings These warnings are printed in English. Italian. French and Spanish. They warn against carelessness and describe the penalties. The four lan guages are used because many Italians are at work on the railroads and more Mexicans are adrift all over the west. Watch for Incipient Fires. All over the forest reserves are ' lookout stations In the flat country they consist cf platforms in the tops of high trees, approached by ladders. If there are no tall trees towers are [ erected. In the mountainous coun try any high peak or crag will do. From these lookouts the keen eyed rangers and guards, provided with the oest long distance glasses, keep a constant watch over the territory as signed to them. From one to another they signal in various ways. Where • ver it is possible the telephone is used. In the wilder regions more primitive methods must need be em ployed. Among the most effective is the old fire system, the system used by the Piets of Scotland, the system the white men of Europe found the red men of America using when they first ftt ick the shores of the western hem isphere. At a time when fire signals are not needed the rangers and guards build ( little brush piles all over their terri tory Plaeei about 100 feet apart, they are ready to burn at a moment s notice. A regular code of signals pre vails The number of brush fires burn mg at the same time conveys the sig j nal. One fire means a forest fire on the west of a certain mountain. Two fires mean one to the east, and so on. When- there are no brush fire sig rials the simple Indian system of a small fire and a blanket serves the purpose of I'ncle Sam's forest guar dians. Tbe small fire is started. Then wet grass or earth is used to deaden it and make the smoke heavy. Over the fire a blanket is thrown to hold the smoke down. When the blanket •s released a solid puff of smoke goes skyward. Again the blanket Is ap plied and quickly removed. I'p goes another puff of smoke. Other methods are the heliograph— j a windmill with small mirrors at tached to its wheels, which flash the signal of a fire, and. in some cases, the flag system of the army signal i corps. Uest of all. however. Is the tele phone. Since 1!H)G the forest service has built 4.850 miles of telephone line, and is extending them as rapidly as congress appropriates the money. In a report on the forest fire ques tion Chief Forester Grave', says it is . impossible to give a specific rule for i ’he number of men required to pro ^ teet tracts of different 3izes, although he supports Mr. Pinchot in saying that j the forest service is undermanned. In some cases a single man has to watch a tract of 1.000 acres. More men are required in flat regions, as in the mountain regions a single man may. by climbing to a high peak, and 1 there pitching his camp, keep guard : over a vast territory. The fire fighting crews of the for I est service are well organized. One man is always In charge. All know their business. The first rule Is to get there as quickly as possible. Then organization counts. A well organized small crew can tdo more work In an hour than an ordinary gang of able j bodied men well intenticmed but ig ; norant. could accomplish in twenty- j four. Hand-to-Hand Conflict. In most cases the battle between the rangers and the fire is a hand-to hand conflict. Using coats, slickers. : gunny-sacks, or whatever they have. - Unde Sam's guardians go after the , fire as though it were a den of snakes. ! and beat it out. Dirt, if it is loose, may be dug up and thrown on the ; fire. The Difference. A fool la unable to see his own | faults. A wise man. seeing his own faults, is able to keep ether people j irom noticing them.

WORLD’S CHAMPIONSHIP CLASH I STORY CF "TOPSY" HAR7SEL Veteran Outfielder of Philadelphia Athletics Was Handicaped at Start Because of Size. By “Topsy” Hartsil. It took mu a long lime to get started right in baseball, but only a minute to ! start. The greatest handicap I had when I was trying to get started was my sire. You see down at Polk. O.. they thought I was a great player and we had an old player there who taught me to play the game, l began playing before I was ten years old. and was on the high school and town teams when I was fifteen. I was five feet four inches tall and weighed then j about 125 pounds. 1 played around with the teams in our section of the coun try. and was determined to become a professional player. We had few chances to learn much, and when l finally got a job with the Burlington, la., club in 1S97. I must have been as green a "busher” as there was. I was fast, but in that league they seemed to think I was too small to play, and I went to Montgomery, then to Salem. Ohio, and finally reached Grand Rapids. Mich. It was there I really started. The Grand Rapids team then was a sort of farm for big league clubs and a bunch of expe rienced and really good players were there. I learned rapidly then, and began to see where I was shy. I found I had been making mistakes and misplaying the game in many ways and still thinking 1 was doing it right because no one ever had told ' me how 1 should do. Louisville took me from Grand Rapids, then Indian apolis got me. and finally I landed with the Chicago National league team. I think l played better bail j there than I ever did. Besides 1 had learned a whole lot about batting and had a good opportunity to study pitch ers It was at Chicago that I had my best hitting year, and my best base , running seasons, and 1 attribute all my success there to the study of the opposing pitchers. A base runner especially ought to be familiar with every trick and move of every op (“Topsy”) Hartsel. posing pitcher. I found that out i when I went into the American league in 1902 with the Athletics. | Many of the pitchers were new to | me and I made many breaks in base ! running before 1 learned their styles ! and their tricks. I had to begin all over again to study them, and it did j me more good than before, because i i of the experience in the National ; league. Experience and close study of the 1 game and the men who play It are j necessary to success, and if there is any lesson in my experience in getting i started that may be of value to new j : men it is that any man no matter how ! ; good, must think and study all the time. The starting is easy, for play ers are in demand—but the finish is quick unless the player is willing to work and learn. PLAY BASEBALL AT NIGHT Two La Crosse Teams Battle for Two Hours by Aid of Artificial Light Without Inconvenience. C. A. Comiskey's recently Installed lights received their first real tryout | at the American league grounds In : Chicago the other night, when the 1111 ! nois Athletic club and Calumet la j crosse teams battled for over two ' hours in a fast match In the glare of ! over 1,000,000 candle power of light j which constitutes a portion of the light plant that will give Chicago night baseball in the near future.

At no time during the SO minutes \ 1 of play did the players find it hard i to follow the ball, but the game j proved as fast and as interesting as if it had been played in the broai day. ! light. No complaint was heard from the players and with the rcaf lights un i covered the contestants were in no way lothered tv the force cf the | lamps. Manager Frank Chance of Chicago. Cubs vs. Athletes for the world's baseball honors! That's the morsel to be ladled out for fandom during the latter days of (Lkuober unless some dire calamity befalls F. Leroy Chance & Co., writes Harold D. Johnson in Chicago Keeord-Herald. It's all over but the shouting as regards the American league race with Mack's seasoned youngsters galloping pen nant ward on the high speed. Practi cally the same situation prevails in the National despite the crippled con dition of the great Cub machine, and fans whether partial or impartial around both circuits have conceded the palm to the West side combina tion. Interest in the coming clash already has stirred the rooting populace of every city of major, minor or trolley league caliber. Speculation over the outcome of the Cubs-Athletic struggle is running at fever heat, with the ma jority of the critics picking Chicago as the flaunting scene of the next world's pennant. Whatever the out come. the battle royal will bring to gether two of the most formidable twirling forces ever known to the na tional pastime. Frank Chance, typical exponent of the playing manager, will be on first, unless the aforementioned dire calam ity works a change in the color scheme. And from the initial corner the P. L. is a master hand at driving his hurl ers Ask any umpire who has offici ated on the bases when some poor, un happy Cub flinger has experienced a bad spell. On the other hand, Connie Mack ireal name Cornelius McGilli cuddy) is a bench leader of the high est rank, crafty, quick to note a play er's shortcomings and a thorough prac titioner of inside ball. A seven-game series is no criterion of the real strength of any team. And chances are neither will use more than three pitchers in the big show. Veteran batting stars in the National league claim "Three-fingered" Brown isn't the same demon he was two sea sons ago. Orval Overall at present is hors de combat and may miss the big series. Leonard (King) Cole, the young pheuorn uncovered by Chance this season is almost sure of a steady job in the championship. Then there's Jack Pfister, one of the greatest left-handers in the game, and southpaws, by the way. are usu ally effective against the Macks. For reserve Singers the Cubs boast of such veterans as Mclntlre. Richie and Foxen. Against this array of talent Mack will offer his three mainstays. Chief deader, Eddie Plank and Jack Coombs. al; seasoned veterans of hun dreds of conflicts. Of the Philadelphia staff Plank prob ably has shown the poorest form *his season, while his stablemates. includ ing "Cy'* Morgan, have gone at break neck speed. It looks like a nip and tuck affairs, this coming teat of pitch ing strength. Chicago will have the advantage in the catching department with King and Archer, two of the really greats of the age, as against -Thomas and Livingston of the Athletics. Veterans will play first base on both sides— Chance, king of them all for the Cubs, and Davis, a master hand, for the east erners. At second two of the brain iest exponents of the inside ball now in service will be seen. For years Evers has been hailed monarch of all he sarve; s around that section of the field, but the crafty lit tle Trojan will encounter a sturdy op ponent in Collins, who practically com mands the Athletic forces. Critics throughout the land have named Tinker the superior of all other short stops, and Joe. with his greater ex perience. should overshadow- Barry, the Holy Cross product with Mack's troupe Steinfeldt and Baker—the Erst a grizzled warrior—tried and found not wanting in a thousand combats, and the latter a hustling youngster and a slashing baiter, will strive for supremacy at third ” In the outfield it looks like first money for the Cubs. Hot'man. Schulte and Sheckard, against Lord. Oldring and Murphy, assures the fans of some spectacular fielding and lots of hard hitting, but the West side garden staff looms up ace high. As regards utility talent Chance has all the better of the argument, having fortified the Cubs with a valuable corps of assist ants in Beaumont. Zimmerman and Kane. AROUND XBASES Meloan and ZwiHing. the new White i Sox outfielders, are each 22 years old. Ed Walsh is a good imitator and is ‘ said to have the best vaudeville talent i of any baseball player in the major j leagues. The attendance for the recent Chi ■ c a go-New York series was close to *0.000. which is going some for a four day session. Empire Johnstone of the National league says that the Cubs should win ever the Athletics because of the bet ter catching of Kling and Archer. Unless Overall shows improvement he will not be picked to open the ' world's series this year. It will prob ably be Mordecai Brown against Plank. Owen Bush, the smallest player in the American league, is batting .2611. He has made ten doubles, four triples, three homers and twenty-three sacri fice hits. Elmer Flick, who was released by the Cleveland Naps to the Kansas City Blues and refused to go. has set tled himself on his farm for a long ; life of it. Manager Chance could substitute i "Toots" Hofman for Artie any time : and no one would be the wiser. The | brothers look enough alike on the dia i mond to be twins. i A leading umpire has asked the | Question why left handed batters can't hit southpaws when right-hand hitters ! t «n hit right-hand pitchers. This is a fair question, but difficult to answer. OSSIE “SCHRECK” IN MARION ■■ Noted Partner of Eccentric Pitcher Rube Waddell, Lands in Little Town in Indiana. Ossie Schreckengost, who was once a member of the Philadelphia Ath l letics, later with the White Sox and Ossie Schreck.

On behalf of :he foreign heathen" a collection was taken up. One of the wardens offered the box to a certain member of the congregation who did not believe in r.reign missions. "in a stage whisker, beard alike by congregation and parson, this man said in blank vernacular. Tak' it away, lad; I'm not going to give owt." "At that period the collecting boxes were taken direct into the vestry. j Down came the preacher front the pulpit, went into the vestry, brought out one of the boxes, and marched straight towards the gentleman. He offered the box to the heretic with the nalTe remark: Tak' what thou wantest. lad; It has been gathered for the heathen!'" Remedies for Dyspepsia.
