CUBS TAKE TWO GAMES. Left-handed athletes held the boards
with bum success, so far as Cincinnati was concerned. In the two-piece en
tertainment offered by Ganzel's band
and the world's champions at the west side park yesterday. Crushing defeats were handed the red-hosed daubers who undertook to exploit their slants before a multitude of 10,000, while the Cub side-wheeler by dint of
extraordinary- heaving was returned a winner. The battles ended 3 to 1 and 2 to 0, thereby putting the river folks in line for a slide down the percentage coaster.

WHAT AILS THE SOX? "What's the matter With the White
Sox?" was a question oft repeated last week while the ex-champs were on the road losing six straight. The answer was found yesterday when they came home and lost the seventh
straight to Detroit by the score of 10 to 5. They are playing very bad baseball. That covers everything. But
special stress should be laid on, when
speaking of their fielding and pitching. Not only are the mechanical er
rors most inopportune and damaging
but the stupid plays, which can't be called errors, are running Into a colos
sal total.
Beating Detroit would have been the simplest thing in the world with a little bit of wise playing. For the Tigers
presented two pitchers in Mullin and
Summers, who were basted for four
teen hits. It ought to be soft to win on that swatting, but horrible defense
tossed the game away.
Lee Tannehill alone gave the Tigers
eight runs on his three errors. How can you beat that? If those errors
are not of the rich and pricless de scription where do you find them?
Soldiers met knights yesterday on the battlefield of the diamond and went down in defeat when the much feared First Regiment armory t- am crossed bats with the Knights of Columbus at Harrison park. It was like taking the fudge from
the baby but it had to be done. A big crowd of rooter;- insi:-:t"d on it, and the result was 14 to 1, another victory for the K. C.'s. No visiting team was ever treated with more consideration than on the local diamond. They were made to feel at home from the beginning, the K. C.'s having allowed one run in the second inning and refrained from scoring until iij, the fifth. That was the turning point and the K. C.'s were ready to go after the soldiers' goat. Did they get It? Well, they got ilx horns with two runs in the fifth and in the sixth they skinned it alive by bringing homo "six more runs, and in the seventh they added another six runs, taking the last wiggle out of its tail. The A r mo rites need their reputation where they come from, and the K. C.'s, not caring to take the last glimmering lustre, did not go to bat in the ninth. Halfman and Clarence F.der formed
the Hammond battery, and ball Halfman did not toss yesterday has not yet been discovered. One, a sacrifice hit, was all the visitors could touch him for.
He struck out sixteen of the sol
diers. W. Gainer, Schulte, Enright and C. Gainer were there with the two
base hits.
The way the locals pasted the ball
and stole the bases proved to visitors that they will have to send out some
thing stronger than they were. They went away satisfied with a square deal and good treatment that they had received in Hammond and in going away
said that they were trimmed properly
all around. They might have kept the
score down somewhat had their pitcher
not gone to pieces In the fifth. Never
theless they were outbatted and outfielded and out run at every angle of
the game. They brought with them a
record that up to yesterday showed
no defeats. The K. C.'s are undefeated for the
season, having won their iifta straight
victory yesterday.
They play the Lafayette K. C.'s at
Lafayette, on the Fourth, and the Dan
ville council on the fifth. The lineup yesterday was: Knights. Soldiers.

Collegiate TSnnket nail Rules Commit tee Makes Changes.
New York, June 28. The collegiate
basket ball rules committee held its annual meeting at the Hotel Impearlal
annual meeting at the Hotel Imperial
changes in the playing rules for next season. With the design of eliminat
ing rough play two officials, a referee
and an umpire, were determined upon.
Heretofore a single official, the referee, was in control of the play. The dribbie was defined as a continuous passage of the ball, and it was decided that the ball must not remain motionless In tho hands of a player after he has started his dribble. It was further decided that a player can shoot for a basket after a dribble. This Is a sweeping change and one calculated to make the game more popular. Further, as a penalty for rough playing a rule was passed disqualifying any player having five fouls called upon him.
Battler Intend to Prove that He Is
Heally in Good Physical Condition for Ilout.
San Francisco, Cal., June 28. Talk of the bout between Batling Nelson
and Joe Gans being only for the "gate
has led to a protest from Nelson, who
asserts that he is sincere in his be
lief that he will win, and as a proof he has given several exhibitions to visitors. That he is in perfect physical trim is the general opinion ex
pressed after these displayers. The
Batler is also willing to let any phy
sician who may be desirous to ex amine him do so.
Gans is in his usual good form, but his entire abandonment of boxing has caused much comment. In tho last two days he did not even give his usual
sparring exhibitions. His listlessness in this respect is attributed by some to the fact that he may be overconfident, while others think that he believes the attendance at the bout rill be small, and he is disinclined to vork
hard enough to make a quick c.iding
of the go. His superior cleverness,
they figure, would enable him to "stall"
along and outpoint Nelson, even if he
is not in the best of shape.

Davenport, Iowa, June 2S. The ten round go between Boer Rudolph L'nholz and Harlem Tommy Murphy, scheduled for Boston July 28, was near
ly upset today when, after signing for 133 pounds at 3 o'clock, Unholz was met with a demand for 133 ringside. Rudv at once wired back that he was
making ringside weight only for cham
pionship fights. A later dispatch from Boston indicated that Murphy's manager would probably stick by the
original agreement. Unholz will box
six rounds with Billy Papke at Ke wanee. 111., July 4.

St. John did not hear yesterday for
bringing in the bunch of players it
did is not worth mentioning. They
threw it Into the teeth of the St. John
players that they were primed with players from all along the Monon, but
before the game was over they had another guess coming. By the time the fifth inning came along they thought St. John was primed with a few of the
stars of the National league.
Connors and Rigner formed the St. John battery and Connors, relying on
the curves that made him famous fanned the Dyers, one, two, three
Keilman, the Dyer pitcher, is a little wonder in the box, but he had an off
day yesterday.
Fred Scherer, the captain of the St.
John team, has one ambition about
this time of the year and that is to
beat Dyer at least once a year. The game is over but any time St. John thinks it has heard the last of how it crushed Roy Peacock and his valiant
band with an all star country team It has another think coming.
BASEBALL SCORES
IN SOUTH CHICAGO. The baseball game between the
Young People's Society Athletic club and the C. R. Caves, which was played at Ninety-seventh street and Ewing
avenue, resulted in a victory for the C. R. Caves by the score of 9 to 0. Only seven innings were played when a dispute arose, the umpire forfeiting the
game to the department store boys. Christianson and O'Leary were in the points for the Caves and Witzki and
Richter did the heavy work for the Young People's A. C.

CHICAGO m Mm Modern Woodmen Nine is Eadly Roasted at Crown Point Yesterday.
The Illinois Steel company's base-
team was defeated yesterday at the hands of the Anderson and Drews by a score of S to 6. The game was played at Calumet park before a large and enthusiastic crowd of baseball fans.
The game was played on a wager of $50.
The Alma Maters upheld the honor of South Chicago yesterday by winning from the strong Alamos at their park, down town. Theg ame was replete with exciting plays and several star plays were pulled off by both teams. The Alma Maters have been playing star' ball this season in spite of the loss of Olsky Leverenz and have only lost one game. The score:

Crown Point. Ind., June 29. (Special.) If the Modern Woodmen's team of Chicago want to hear how nice a hunch of fellows they are, what good sports they are considered, what a great credit to the lodge they represent in Chicago, all the nice (?) things that one team can call another, they should have been in Crown Point last night.
Reefers, near-sports, get-the-hook team. Ma's Willie Team of Chicago, and
several other epithets were hurled at
the visitors by the crowd who saw the game near the Erie depot yesterday.
men' while they were winning, turned beat the hoofs of a Kansas jackass
into a bunch of kickers that would
bea the hoofs off a Kansas jackass when losing, and in the seventh inning refused to play when the score stood 7 to 4 in Crown Point's favor.
The Crown Point team, in order to
finish the game and satisfy the spec
tators, gave in to one of the rankest
deals ever seen on a diamond, and
played the game out in a half-hearted
manner, losing to the visitors by a
score of Id to 10. Pete Henning lined out a home run that was never touched
until he had safely touched the home
plate. The game was devoid of any
reatures except the one above mentioned and the playing of the visiting
team s one-armed man. who played a
wonderful game considering his dis
advantage, l ne visiting team has a
reputation for "bellyaching" and Crown
Point warns all Lake county teams to steer clear of them unless nursing
bottles figure conspicuously in the pre ltminaries.
LOWELL WINS AGAIN. Lowell. Ind., June 29. (Special.) The Chicago Stars were defeated by the Oakland Parks on the home grounds Sunday by a score of 6 to 5. It was quite a good game but not near as good as has been played here before. The visitors had more umpires than players anil they chewed the rag so much over the ragged game that they played that they must have got a lot of lint on their lungs. Quite a number witnessed the game. Following is the score by innings: .Stars 0 0 0 0 1 2 1 0 1 5 Oaklands 2 0 1 0 3 0 0 0 6 Batteries Stars, Soger, Duers; Oaklands, Irwin, Yates. Struck out By

The Grand Crossing team was defeated yesterday afternoon by tho Pullman Stars, at the latter's grounds in Pullman. The score was 2 to 0, and although the Pullmans won the game it was only through timely hitting as they put over their two runs in th ninth inning when Smith, the Grand Crossing pitcher, weakened and was knocked out of the box.
EAST CHICAGO BEATEN.

Off Stars,
BLISSMER C0LTS WIN. West Hammond's I'.lissmer Colts won another victory yesterday when they traveled to Hessville and battled with the Doc White Kids. The score at the close of the ninth inning was 11 to 8 in favor of the Blissmers. It was one of the best and hardest games that the West Hammondites have played this season and only for the rooting of the loyal West Hammond party which came over on hay racks, did they win. The Blissmers will play in Ilegewisch next Sunday.
East Chicago, Ind, June 29. (Spe cial.) The baseball game yesterday be
tween the hue Stars of East Chicago
and the Wasecas of Chicago resulted
in a victory tor the u lute Mars by a
score of S to 2.
Hartley, East Chicago's new recruit from the Michigan state league, proved
a puzzle to the visitors. At no time
during the game was he hot consecu
tively and the three hits made off his
delivery were well scattered. Car
rington, p.t the reeeving end of the j tinue battery, was in fine fettle, allowing i to be
nothing to get by him. Clinton, an old East Chicago man, was back in the game and did some star work. Following is the lineup and summary of the game:

Denver, Colo., June 27. Theodore
Bell of California was chosen today
temporary chairman of the democratic national convention by the subcommittee on arrangements. Mayor Dahlman of Omaha, regarded almost as Bryan's personal representative, arrived this morning and announced tl'.at Bell would be acceptable to Bryan. It is said that Bryan knew that Bell was likely to be chosen, and accepted him for policy's sake. Bell is not considered as an enthusiastic Bryan man. Bryan wants to see Bell and read his speech before it is delivered, but it is possible that Bryan will
not see Bell, and that Bell may not prepare his speech in time to submit It to the rrobable nominee. Suliimn Dropped Ilia Fight. Early in the day it was rumored that Roger Sullivan of Illinois planned to make a fight on Bell, having heard that he was Bryan's choice. The report was abroad that slv votes out of a total of nine would be cast under Sullivan's in
fluence when the California's name was mentioned. No fight developed and Bell
was mentioned. No fight developed and Bell was chosen unanamiously. No
other name was mentioned. R. M. Johnston of Texas offered the motion selecting Mr. Bell and it was carried
promptly.
The men at present most prominently
mentioned for permanent chairman are
Representative Henry 1). Clayton of Al
abama and Judson Harmon of Ohio. Governor Joseph Folk of Missouri and
Senator Joseph Bailey of Texas are also strongly urged; but Bailey wired
today that his physician had ordered htm to keep away from the convention. Bailey had also been mentioned for chairman of the committee on resolutions.
Other Offleers Are Aamed. Other appointments by the subcom
mittee, which are likely to be made, are as follows:
General secretary Vrey Woodson of
Kentucky.
AsMlstant general secretary Edwin

Sergeaut-at-armn John I. Martin of Missouri. Chief assistant aergeant-at-arma J. C. Fenn of Indiana. Chief doorkeeper Eugene W. Snlllran of Illinois. Parliamentarian II. D. Crutchfleld of Kentucky. Cnplnin for opening day The Right Rev. James J. Kenne, archbishop of Wyoming. Official stenographer M. W. Blnmherg of Washington, D. C. Those present at the committee meeting today were Chairman Thomas Taggart. Secretary Vrey Woodson, Roger C. Sullivan of Illinois. R. M. Johnson of Texas, James C. Dahlman of Nebraska, Norman E. Mack of New York, and Governor John E. Osborne of Wyoming. Two members, John T. McCraw of West Virginia and Clark Howell of Georgia, were absent, the proxey of the former being held by Mr. Sullivan of Illinois, while Vrey Woodson represented Mr. Howell. It was decided to leave the selection of chaplains for the subsequent sessions of the convention with Chairman Taggart. The number of reading and tally clerks were put at a maximum of fifteen.
LATHERS ARE BEATEN.

throughout the seven inning game fanned twelve men. The lathers could get only three hits. Welsh caught for Mager and the two did excellent team work. Ketchel pitched for the lathers and fanned three of the milk handlers in the first inning. The milk men are in the game this season to stick and have as yet a record "thats hows no defeat.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS MEET.
Atlantic City. N. J., June 29. The American Institute of Electrical Engineers began its twenty-fifth annual convention here today at the Hotel Traymore. About 400 members were in attendance at the opening. During the session of fo:ir days about thirtyfive technical papers will be presented upon subjects relating to electrical engineering in its various branches. The American Institute of Electrical Engineers was organized in 1S4 and is International in its scope. The total membership now exceeds 5,700. Of this number about 5,000 are residents of the Vnited States.
PROHIBITIONISTS MAKE READY. Columbus, O., June 29. The prohibition national convention for the nomination of candidates for president and
vice president of the Vnited States Is to assemble in this city two weeks hence and preparations for the event are about completed. The party managers expect the convention to be a recordbreaker in the matter of attendance. Interest in the prohibition movement, they declare, was never so keen as at present time, and as a consequence there will be a full attendance of delegates and visitors at the convention from every state and territory. The field of candidates for the presidential nomination is broadening daily and the prospects are for a lively contest when the convention meets. Among those mentioned as possible nominees for president are Alfred Manierre, an attorney of New York: Dr. W. B. Pelmore, editor of the St. Louis Christian Advocate. and Fred F. Wheeler, a wealthy real estate dealer of Los Angeles. Dr. J. B.
