CHICAGO TEAMS ARE SURPRISES Cubs And White Sox Surprise Dopesters By Showing In Pennant Races By Henry L. Farrell. (U. P. Staff Correspondent > New York, June 1. — (UP) —When the pennant chances of the major league basehall clubs were being rated before the season opened the two Chicago clubs were giver, hardly a tumble but they are up next to the top now and may be around there for the remainder of the season. Thn IVhho tm tint InctV fIQ Qtmnc*

The White Sox no not look as strong • as the Philadelphia Athletics and the j Washington Senators but they are 1 hustling and playing smart baseball. ' The Cubs haven't as much class as j the S;. l»uis Cardinals and the New j Yoik Giants but as long as they con- ( tinue to get the pitching they have enjoyed they will win a lot ot ball games. The Pittsburgh Pirates have hit their stride and are more than living up to pre-season calculations despite some spotty pitching and the loss of Ray Kremer. The St. louis Cardinals arc still getting good pitching and they are sure to have a lot to say all during the race. The Cincinnati Reds will have to get going soon if they are to get any nlace. The breaks have been against the club but with a long stay on the home grounds it may snap out of it. The Giants are having trouble with spotty pitching, inferior catching and an outfield weakness. John McGraw finds it necessary to experiment, and experimenting is a dangerous practice dnring the playing season. The infield appeared to be the best < in the National league when the sea- ■ son opened but now it is up in the , air. Lindstrom has a lame back and may not be able to play third base. McGraw wants to make an outfielder of him as he is too good a hitter to | be kept upon the bench. I The New York Yankees are moving at a fast gait in the American league | and seem to be a cinch for the pen- < nan’. They apparently have everything a championship club needs, of- , sense and defense and spirit. < With Walter Johnson back on duty < the Washington Senators are bound to improve. i The Philadelphia Athletics continue ] to be a disappointment and it is , doubtful if Connie Mack knows what , to do about it. ] ■’■ • • ■ ■ I- ■ in. I BASEBALL’S BIG FOUR —— j (By United Press) Babe Ruth went on another rampage and hit his fifteenth and sixteenth home runs along with a dou- . hie and a single. He was at bat ten times.

DECATUR MAN WRITES ON LIFE OF JOHNNY APPLESEED H OVI iXI I D I HOM I'IGEID'K) Jonny Appleseed, was born in Boston in the year 1775. In early life ho became an ardent toiiower of Swedenborg. Whether it was his desire to preach the gospel of Christianity ns taught by .Swedenborg, or an ill-fated love affair that was accountable for Chapman's very ecentrlc life, the present generation is unable to determine. '( It may have been either; it may have ' been both. One thing Is certain, he I spent forty years of his life traveling over what are now the states of Ohio . and Indiana, preaching and planting apple trees. Swedenborg taught that every matetial object was but a visible man! festation of unseen entity; that man, himself, was nature in diffusion; that' every tree, flower, and animal expressed unseen things. There were three heavens, consisting of the three orders of angles; the first distinguished for love, the second for wisdom, and the third for obedience. As everything had its opposite there were three divisions of hell. also. Man of himself was dead, his apparent life was due to tlie presence of God in him. ‘ Chapman's gospel was one of love , and helpfulness. He was a strict vegeterian; this may have had a great deal to do with his passton for planting apple-trees. "His last years wete spent near! ' Mansfield, Ohio, from where he sallied | forth from time to time to look after his nurseries. He died ami was hurried at Fort Wayne, Indiana, in 1847, where he was stricken with pneumon- ( ia. while on one of his tours to care for his nut series located at that place".

Strupge genius and apostle of mystic spell. Proclaming the trinities cf Heaven and Hell: Virtue's coefficient to qukken mankind, With love, wisdom, and obedience sublime: Counterpart visible of realms unseen, Breath of God. undefiled, virile, serene; Love's but den bearer to hosts yet Unborn. Advance herald oT Ceres' flushed horn; Barefoot, hatless, imperiled, alone. Newsbeater from Heaven to the settler’s rude home; His life was an epic ot service and love. This eccentric John Chapman with lore from above. Oh Muse! Pray reveal what motive controlled This quaint roving creature with meekness so hold. Was it scorn from a maiden, or love for mankind. That drove him afar his labor to find; Did he broadcast the wild with rare apple seed. To succor bold squatters, or foster a creed? - His diet was herbs, his clothing was .rags,. ■■ — His mission, pure love, hi- burden, seed-bags. Like the spies of old Israel's fearstricken band, He traversed the length of the Godgiven land. Keeping pace with the pulsating tides that swept Toward the realm where the steeds of Helios slept. What matter the motive; why question the deeds? He poured out his life for humanity’s

needs. — —o Football Dates Are Fixed By Big Ten Madison, Wis.. June 1 — (UP) — Dates for the first year in the rotating football shedule for Big Ten universities were settled at a meeting of football officials from all of the Big ten schools. i The rotating schedule was agreed upon several months ago and each • year’s games decided.
