DEFEATED MONON IN 7TH INNING RALLY

Atheltics Coupled Hits With Visitor’s Errors and Put Four Runs Over in Lucky Inning.

The lucky seventh inning made the Athletics victors over the fast Monon team Sunday and,put the home boys “on the map” so to speak, as it can new be doped out that we have a chance at all the championship aspirants in this part of the state. 2 Monon came over with a good ball team, the famous southpaw, Schultz, In the box, and Mason at the receiving end, while Walt Engle, the Foust boys, Thacker, Cole, Roberts and Burroughs, are all topnotch semi-pros. It was a real ball game and had it not been for one bad inning on each side it would have been a real “big league” affair. As it was, it was away and ahead ot any game at Athletic p’ark this year and the large crowd was enthused from the start, cheered the good plays of both teams and the home ropters had a spasm of delight when the Athletics began to connect with Shultz’s delivery and pounded in the winning run. The game was made spectacular by several fine plays, in which Parks, at second, Swartzell at first, Elder in left field, E. Wilcox catching and J. Wilcox in center field, participated. Elder, from deep' left field, made two perfect throws to Catcher Wilcox and nabbed men at the plate; Parks caught a line drive as he fell to the ground; Jess Wilcox made a one-handed circus catch in center, and “Dad” Swartzell picked two throws out of the ground, while Elmer Wilcox pegged them all out at second and cut the steal down to a narrow margin. The visitors got ope across the plate In the secoqd inning. After Roberts had fanned Cole singled and Curt Foust doubled. Cole tried to come all the way aropnd from first but Elder’s perfect peg cut him down at the plate. Foust went to third on the throw in. Russell then laid one down toward third, which Robinson handled slowly and Foust crossed the rubber and Russell was safe at the Initial corner, only to be thrown out trying to steal. In the third the visitors went after Clark with a vengeance. After Shultz was out, Conn to Dad, Burroughts hit safely. Mason singled and Bent Foust hit to deep left and again Elder made a perfect throw, catching Burroughs at the plate. Thacker hit a double and scored Mason and Foust and Thacker was pabbed trying to steal third. In the fifth the visitors scored again. Engle, who had succeeded Russell in right field, got first on Conn’s error and scored on Burrpughs’ hit, after getting on second when Shultz fanned. and Thacker each chopped* out and closed the Inning and the scoring for the game, as Clark was stingy with his hits after that time and did not allow any. The Athletics got a score in the fifth. Denniston reached first, when Thacker muffed a throw from Shultz. Clark tried to sacrifice, but Shultz caught Denniston at second, Clark landing safely at first. Elder whiffed, Parks drew a base on balls, and Lyons, who took Robinson’s place at third, laid down a grounder which Burroughs juggled and Clark was safe on third. He decided to take a chance and ran half way up the line. Shultz threw the ball to Mason and Clark stalled until Mason tried to catch him by throwing to third and then he broke for the plate and beat the return throw. In Mie seventh the real fire works went up. Clark led off with a hit, Elder laced out a and Parks singled, scoring Clark. Eldridge fanned, but Mason dropped the ball and had to throw to first to get hlnr and Parks went to second, Elder already having reached third. Oonn was easy from Shultz to Thacker and Swartzell brought in Elder and Parks with one of his eleap-up smashes. He went to second on the throw in and came on to third when Mason dropped the throw. Elmer Wileox hit safely and

A Quite Intolerable . Nuisance at Remington.

On odthouse, the condition of which is far from good, stands near the Pennsylvania depot and is the vault for use of employes ot the depot and the traveling public. It is unsightly, unsanitary and- an eyesore to the town of Remington and the board of health doubtless could order its removal on sanitary grounds. The Remington Press has been doing a good work by pointing out the objectionable shack and indicates that it will keep up the fight until every person holds their nose and the vault is removed. The time when communities have to put up with such indignities from railroads is past and if it is not moved on the order of the health officer suit should be started against the railroad company.

Statistics show Chicago to be the greatest receiving market for lumber in the country. Last year’s sales aggregated 2,642,650,000 feet.

During itftie first month’s activities in the summer outing depart ment of the United Charities arrangemen’ta were made for sending more than 5,000 mothers and cihilddren to 1 country homes, camps and on outings for a day, from Chicago.

The new tariff bill will become a law before September 15th. This was the prediction Thursday of Representative Underwood, democratic house leader and author of the original measure.

Another reform wave swept over Gary Thursday. Under orders of the Gary board of public safety, police swooped down upon the 200 saloons in the city and confiscated all slot machines; In other parts of Lake county slot machines are operating full blast.

A young Muncie business man, whose “wife’s gone to the country,’’ or the sea shore, or some place, is causing the police concern, not on. account of his bad actions, but rather on account of his excessive goodness. When his work is completed each day the young man re-’ ports at central ‘police station and hangs around there until time to go home to- bed, all as arranged with his wife, who desires to have an accurate knowledge, of her husband’s doings while she is enjoying herself. When it comes time for him to go home he sounds the alarm in police station. Five minutes later, for he lives not far from the central station, a policeman calls up to find out whether he is at home. ’

Swartzell came in. This closed the run getting and the final score was 5 to 4 in favor of the Athletics. The receipts were $68.15. Next Sunday the Athletics go to Remington and the Rex-Alls expect to have Morocco here to entertain the home fans. The line-up; MONON. ' R HPOA E Burroughts 2b 0 2 3 2 3 Mason c ....1 212 2 0 B.

MEDARYVILLE MILL DESTROYED BY FIRE

Total Destruction, While Walls Which Fell in, Ruined Practically All the Machinery.

Medaryville Advertiser. Our citizens were awakened last Thursday morning shortly after 2 o’clock by the dreaded sounds of the fire bell, and looking to see the cause, they found the firmament covered with a red glow. It was found that the flouring mill of J. M. Burlew & Son was a seething mass of flames. Our fire laddies, who responded promptly to the call, found that they could not do much in extinguishing the flames, as they could not get close enough oh account of the excessive heat and devoted their labors to the saving of the near by buildings, in which they were successful. , The large building burned completely to the ground and the'ruins in falling inward, ruined thousands of dollars worth of expensive machinery." How the fire started is an unsolved mystery, but all seem ’to be agreed that it started in the upper story, .probably from spontaneous combustion. The mill had been standing idle for several weeks, so that the above is about the only reasonable conclusion to come to. Mr. Burlew figures the loss at about $12,000, which is partly covered by an insurance of $6,000.

Gary Police Seized Slot Machines in 200 Saloons.

The Gary police station has the appearance of the storeroom of a gambling headquarters. Raids that began Thursday* afternoon ended with the seizure by the police of every slot machine in the city. The police activity followed an order from the safety board, which was stirred to action by the publication in a Gary newspaper of a list of saloons where the machines were in operation; Machines, however, are still in operation at Miller, East Gary, Indiana Harbor, East Chicago and Cedar Lake. This is the first time since last February that the Gary machines have been molested. James Patterson, prosecuting attorney, is in a Chicago hospital for an, operation and may not return for several days Joseph D. Martin, chief of police, Is quoted in a Gary newspaper as saying that the first knowledge he had of slot machines in the city was when he read a newspaper story about them. Mayor Knotts was also stirred by the reports and he made a hurried trip through the “patch”, preliminary to participating in the order of the safety board. About two hundred places were raided.

The carrier pigeon found by Arthur Foss some time ago is now at its old home.at Pittsburg, Pa. The band on the pigeon’s leg was the means ot finding the owner, Chas. L. Wolff, who, in a letter, states that the bird had been lost in a flight from Columbus, Ohio, in September, 1911, and that the note found with the bird had been placed there by a person who later found the bird and was using it as a messenger between himself and a friend. As the pigeon would hardly have found its way back to Its old home it was sent- by express last week.-Crown Point Register.

BROOK—From the Reporter.

Goodland is advertising the free exhibition of the flying machine for July 31st. The money has been raised and the town slogan is, to “make good.” Two flights have been arranged for and a ball game and band concert will help out the occasion. v

J. D. Rich, returned Friday from northeastern North Dakota. He reports the wheat crop as very ordinary, and estimates the yield at about ten bushels to the sera The oats are about the same as those around here. The barley crop is in fine condition and barring accidents should be a good one After four years, Morton Ulrey has succeeded in convincing the state accountants that the S6O they claimed he owed the town of Brook had been properly accounted tor. This was one of the cases where tlye intricacies of business hi a small town were too much for the city experts and it took a good many affidavits from prominent citizens and several years for the real facts of the case to soak through their gray matter.
