Woodlaim Club Claims Lease on Park at Stony Island and Slxty-Mnth. Chances of playing baseball at Hand's Park, Sixty-ninth street and Sony Island avenue, are very slim, according to a report from the Woodlawn Football club, who have made arrangements with the management of the park to play football there. Some time ago it was thought that the baseball club that had the park last year would get in, but something turned up and the "Woodlawn Football club got there first. The football club will play every Sunday at the park with a visiting team. The lineup of the "Woodlawn club is very strong and they think that they can beat all comers. The Parkside baseball fans are not yet disappointed as they think'that the baseball club will get the lease on the park yet. FIRE DAMAGES BURNSIDE HOUSE ; EATS BLAMED. Thought the Rodents Gnawed Matches and This Started the Blare. A fire which started in soma mysterious manner early yesterday morning at the home of Mrs. Miller, 9876 Dauphin avenue. Burnside, partially burned away the roof and the interior. The damage was about $200. The house is a two-story frame and is entirely cov ered by insurance. Mrs. Miller i3 at a loss to know how the fire started as no defective chimney was found. She thought that rats gnawing at matches might have been responsible. The fire originated in the garrett. The fire caused a little panic in the Burnside school, which is a few houses away from the Miller home, but it was quieted by the teachers. SOUTH CHICAGO VICT0E FAILS TO GET SPOILS. After Knocking Ont Supposed Rival, Lovelorn Swain Told By Girl She Wants Nothing of Either. Two Hungarians, Frank Lowsinski and Tony Tonfarski, got into a fight over a Hungarian girl at Ninety-third street and Stony Island avenue last evening. Lowsinski said the girl loved him best and Hinfarski declared that he was the favored swain. So the fight started. After fighting for a while Honfarski knocked out Lowsinski, and then started to the home of the girl whom he had fought for. On his way he met the girl and told her about it, and she said that she would not have anything to do with either of them. Then Honfarski, went away to hide himself from the jeers of his fellowmen.

"Lost in New York." the famous melodrama which has played to the greatest number of audiences of any play of Its kind, is the week end attraction at the Calumet theater. Although the secenery has been somewhat changed, new features and new comedy Injected Into it, the pot of the play remains the same and it continues to be an Interesting play as in days of yore. The company Is headed by Miss Edith O'Reilly, a clever actress in the role of Jennie, the lost child. She is a versatile, good looking young lady and carles her part in a most charming manner. Miss Dolly Temple as Caroline Peabody is a strong actress and essays the role in a most satisfactory manner. Of the men in the company, A. E. Bellows showed himself a first rate actor in the role of -Arthur Wilson. The play is heavily staged,, the scenery being both correct and artistic. . There are several specialties intro-

duced during the action of the play which are pleasing and add greatly to the amusement powers of the play, yet do not Interfere with the story. Taken altogether, the play afTords an evening of first rate amusement. Where THE TIMES May Be Had. The SOUTH CHICAGO TIMES may be found on sale at the following places.

Building on the East Side this far this season has eclipsed former years, so many of the building contractors say. A feature of the many constructions now undsr way is the large number of cottages nearing completion, and those who are In a position to know, seem to entertain the idea that the flat buildings as a place to live in, has seen its best days, especially in the more -aristocratic neighborhoods and residential districts. Still Fear 100th Street Crossing. Residents of the East Side who have occasion to cross the One Hundredth street tracks by trolly, continue to still live in fear of that dreaded crossing.

HOW JUDGE GILLETT LOST NOMINATION. (Continued from page 1).

prefer to have the governor and lieutenant governor friendly to them than to have a judge of the supreme court. La Porte county handed its delegation over to Lake to be traded with as Lake county saw fit, and it was noticeable that many of the counties that stood almost solidly for Goodwine for lieutenant governor either broke from Gillett in small fragments or went against him with all their strength and both Goodwine and Gillett are from the tenth district. But there will be much regret that so good a man and so able a judge as Judge Gillett should have been set aside." The inside story of the deliberations of the delegates from Lake county to the state convention, which led to the disastrous defeat of Judge John H. Gillett, are of the greatest interest and point to the folly of permitting personal estimates to influence the delegates' vote when the playing of that fascinating game of politics would have accomplished so much for Lake county and compelled the recognition that this part of the state so richly deserves. When It is a known fact that on the fourth ballot Watson lacked but 9 votes to secure the nomination and that he had been taking strength from the other candidates consistently on the second and third ballots, it may be seen what a factor Lake county could have been if a band wagon policy had been agreed upon. The following table shows how persistently Watson gained in strength while the others lost, and the second table shows how doggedly the Lake county delegation 'stuck to their favorite candidates to the end. HOW LAKE COUNTY VOTED. Candidates Ballots. 1 2 8 4 5 Hugh Miller... 1 1 0 0 0 Watson 7 7 7 7 7 Taylor 6 6 6 4 4 C. W. Miller... 9 9 12 12 12 HOW THE STATE VOTED. Candidates Ballots 1 2 3 4 Hugh Miller... 184. 99 166 153 99 Watson 606.14 650 677 726.50 Taylor 284.34 259 257 258 C. W. Miller.. 392 390 380 885.50 The vote on the fifth ballot had been called for from about two-thirds of the counties and it was at this time a real landslide for Watson developed and it was then that Charles W. Miller was compelled to admit defeat and the other candidates followed suit. It was generally recognized that it was the thing to d6 to stick to a favorite candidate as long as there was a chance for his election, but after the third ballot it Is generally conceded that If a candidate is consistently losing, a rally is impossible and If there are any other Interests at stake they should be protected. The third ballot had passed. Charles W. Miller would have been satisfied if at this stage of the game thei Lake county delegates would have remembered that they had interests of' their own to be protected and had voted for Watson, the winning man and the one man who had it within his power to deliver Gillett enough votes to insure his election. At this critical time the Lake county delegation was in a tumult. For the purpose of this article it is not necessary that the , names of the various delegates be known, but there were four men who strongly counseled the voting of the entire Lake county delegation for Watson. They were enforced by others not in the delegation who saw that the critical time had come and that something would have to be done or the splurge that Lake county had made in an industrial way would not be equalled by the. political acumen of its representatives. The fact that Watson was given seven votes from the very start was the result of the threat of several of the delegates that they would challenge the vote on every ballot if Watson was not given his share. When the third ballot had been cast the wise ones saw the light. They tried to persuade, failing In this they threatened; failing in that they cajoled, and failing in that they swore. It was all to no avail and when the vote on the fourth ballot was taken Lake county lost its opportunity to make Congressman Watson come up and eat out of its hand. The opportunity was lost to make Watson so indebted to Lake county that he would use all of his Influence to assist Congressman Crumpacker to secure the much-desired deep waterway legislation. The opportunity was lost to secure the friendship of a man who may be the next governor of Indiana. Watson does not feel any antagonism toward Lake county. He got a good vote from this district, but the point is that the Lake county delegates failed to make the master stroke that would have made James E. Watson forever grateful to this district for his election. It is true that the labor element in r Drinking Men Hot Wanted The above sign Is now seen In many shops and offices in this city, because drinking men are unreliable.

the Calumet region was opposed to Watson and that the men who were elected to represent them had a duty to perform, but the fact also remains that John H. Gillett, who had the good will and support of labor was defeated, and that Elkhart county, from where Charles W. Miller halls, did not have the loyalty to stand by Gillett in return for the twelve votes that Lake county gave him. Elkhart county's vote was fifteen forGillett and ten for Qulncy Myers. TQLESTON.
