Divisional championships muit be decided by 

 August 17 according to rules adopted at Peoria 

 last March. Arrangements will be made to 

 play off some of the semi-final games at district 

 I. A. A.-Farm Bureau picnics, five of which 

 already are scheduled beginningi August 16. 



The State Arbitration Committee has been 

 kept busy ironing out controversies and making 

 decisions. A number of such disputes have 

 arisen because of faulty umpiring. Most of the 

 teams are evenly matched and extra inning 

 games have been frequent. 



The fifteen-inning contest between Sangamon 

 and Greene counties on June 15 was the long- 

 est game of the season. District Dictator 

 Charles S. Black ruled that this game, pre- 

 viously repwrted won by Greene, score 7 to 6, 

 must be played over because the umpire failed 

 to call a runner out when hit by a batted ball. 

 Greene county has asked for a review of the 

 evidence so the question will probably go on up 

 to the Arbitration Committee. 



The State Arbitration Committee ruled that 

 a similar game between Champaign and Mc- 

 Lean must be played over because the umpire 

 improperly called time when a play was still 

 in motion during which a runner was tagged 

 out before crossing the home plate. This run 

 paved the way for a short-lived McLean County 

 victory. 



T. E. BENTON 



' I ^ E. BENTON of Marion, Williamson coun- 

 ■*- • ty, sent in more applications for auto 

 insurance — 63 in number — than any other 

 representative of the company during the month 

 of April. Williamson county led all others in 

 the state that month. 



The agents in southern Illinois awarded a $70 

 watch to the man sending in the greatest num- 

 ber of applications during April. Mr. Benton 

 won the watch. Williamson county now has 

 more policyholders in the Illinois Agricultural 

 Mutual — the Farm Bureau auto insurance com- 

 pany — than any other county in southern 

 Illinois.
