Chicago won a brilliant 4-to-2 victory over Brooklyn today and closed the series with three games won to one lost. Outlucked and apparently beaten in the early stage, they came with a rush at the end. and Kllng, with a long home run dri to the clubhouse, turned the tide audi saved the Cubs the verdict. The game was the most brilliant played that Chicago has put up this season. Their grand head work in the field held down the score of the Dodgers, and then their strategy at bat beat Mclntyre, who was pitching a grand game. Kling won for Chicago, while Sheckard was the fielding star. He stopped the most promising assults that Brooklyn made upon Overall and by sheer force of thinking probably kept the ; Dodgers from gaining a lead that would have been unovereomable. Be- ; cause of these things Kling's home ' run in the offensive, which accounted for two runs, and Sheckard's quick thinking In the defensive the finsal score was 4 to 2. TWO STRAIGHT "AGIN" THE SOX. Instead of laying on their oars and gloating right back and made it two straight over those Sox yesterday. They also took occasion to make it hurt, as the 2-to-0 rhythm indicates. Seldom of late has the South Side been the theater of such a series of upheavals. So often have the mild sons of Penn been ambuscaded here they have become recognized as legitimate prey. To turn about and fasten their fangs on the white hosiery is nothing less than a breach of hospitality. Twice in the same place amounts to a holocaust. Ed Walsh and Plank fought out their ancient feud. When the "spit ball" monument offers battle to the gigantic sldewheeler it is safe to retain your money in the wallet. There is too much danger of overheating the brain cells otherwise. In one respect Ed of the fiery neck topped his rival, holding the Athletics to four swats, while the immaculate hosiery cleaned up a generous five. Walsh furthermore chuckled two of these. But the visitors seized theirs in chunks, where they did the most good. Hence the cataclysm. SIXTEEN INNINGS AND A TIE. Amateur ball playing took on the appearance of professionalism when the Clover Leafs of Hegewisch met the West Bell Furniture company's team last Monday at Hegewisch. The score was 13 to 13 at the end of the sixteenth Inning when the game had to be called on account of darkness. G. Anderson, the manager, of the Clover Leafs, again Issues a challenge to any 14-year-old Uniformed team for a game. Manager nderson lives on Ontario avenue in
Hegewisch and a letter addressed ac- . cordingly will reach him.

ATHLETES ON HIS YACHT, Sixty-live Olympic Contestants, In cluding Many Americans, in Party. London, July 2S. Sir Thomas Lipton entertained a party of sixty-five visiting athletes, among them many Americans, on his steam yacht Erin today. The party left London this morning and boarded the yacht at Southhampton for a trip around the Isle of Wight ! and to view the yacht races going on there. The party dined aboard the yacht and returned to London tonight. WANTS BURNS-JOHNSON BOUT. Ely, Nev. July 28. It was announced today that 130,000 was pledged at a meeting held here last night between Tex Rickard and a number of prominent men who have interested themselves in seeing that Rickard has all the backing necessary to ' secure a fight between Jack Johnson and Tommy Burns, the heavyweight pugilists, to be held in Ely on Thanksgiving day. The Gans-Nelson fight was given up. WARM WELCOME FOR ATHLETES. Public Officials and Clubs to Join in Greeting Olympic Victors. New Y'ork, July 28. Plans for a great public reception, to be held in this city when the American athletes who were victorious at the Olympic games arrive, have been formulated and Patrick J. Conway has been elected chairman of a committee representing the the various leading athletic associations to carry on the work. Acting Mayor McGowan says the city officials will do everything in their power to make the demonstration complete and the co-operation of President Roosevelt seems assured. Patrick J. Conway, William P. McLaughlin and Alderman J. D. Cavanaugh called on Acting Mayor MeGowman today. He was signing the new city bond of $10,000 each and said give one to each of the athletestn that he wished he was in a position to give each of the athletes. He said all the muntlng available would be used to decorate the city hall. He also said that he hoped the state would act with the city and prepare a public reception that would be talked of for years. Conway has issued invitations on behalf of his committee to other athletic associations and to college alumni associations asking that representatives be present when the athletes land. A triumphal march up Broadway, attended by a guard of honor, has been decided on as a feature. The IrishAmerican club will give a dinner in honor of the victors at the Plaza. Medals emblematic of the city's welcome probably will be struck off for presentation to the visitors. NELSON THINKS KELLY HAS A STRONG CHANCE. nattier Would Pick lingo to Win If Certain of State of Ills Arm. "I wouldn't make a bet against Ketchel until I know whether a man of his weight can knock him out. But I like Kelly's chances to win the fight Friday night. It all depends on his arm." This is the way Battling Nelson sized up the bout of July 31 at San Francisco. Although he admits Ketchel Is a great boxer he says that the Chicago man's sturdy qualities are such that he does not believe Ketchel can put him away if Hugo's arm holds out. Kelly has never been knocked out. Moreover, Nelson says that he not only believes Attell will defeat Moran, but that he is willing to bet his own money that way. "I do not believe there is a man at his weight today who can defeat Attell." he said. MTARLAND'S ODDS GOING DOWN. Los Angeles, July 28. That the "long end" of the betting is popular in the pending ten-round go here Aug. 7 between Phil Brock and Packie McFarland is proved b ythe fact that the price against Brock has gone steadily downward. Odds of 8 to 5 were freely obtainable against him some time since, but now 6 to 5 Is the best price procurable. His ability to stand punishment and his readiness to counter make his friends here believe that Packie will not only fail to knock his out but thmat Brock can keep the score even ; br leaving himself open and swapping blows, in case he finds McFarland too fast for him otherwise UNH0LZ LOSES THE DECISION.

Bishop Rhode was born in the Polish village of Werowo, in German-Poland, on September 16, 1871, Paul Peter Rhode lost his father when an infant and was left to the care of his good mother, Mrs. Christine Rhode, who now is the proudest Polish mother in America. She brought her son to the United States when he was 9 years old. For five years he attended the St. Stanislaus parochial school at Noble and Bradley streets, Chicago, over which the late Rev. Vincent Barzynskl, America's greatest Polish priest, was pastor. After the parochial school training he was sent to St. Mary's college in St. Mary's Ky., which institution, like the St. Stanislaus parish, was conducted by priests of the Resurrectionists congregation. St. Ignatius college, the Chicago institution of the Jesuit Fathers, was the next seat of learning he atended and he completed his studies at St. Francis seminary in St. Francis, Wis. Fourteen Yearn in Priesthood. He was ordained priest on June 16. 1S94. and eight day slater he celebrated his first mass. His first assignment as priest was as an assistant to the Rev. John Radziejewski, pastor of St. Adalbert's Polish Roman Catholic church,
Seventeenth and Paulina streets. Then
and Paul church, Thirty-eighth and Paulina streets.
On October 31, 1897, he was put in charge of St. Michael's church in South Chicago, of which he is still pastor. At that time the congregation numbered 500 families. Now it numbers 1,300 families. There was a debt of $75,000 upon the church grounds. This debt the pastor not only paid off but purchased additional ground and made vast improvements. Last year he began the erection of a new church, which, when completed, will cost $250,000 and will be one of the finest French Gothic structures In America. The church property now
represents a value of about $650,000. Chicago, 111., July 29. The consecration today of the Rev. Paul Peter Rhode, 1). D., as auxiliary bishop of the Roman Catholic diocese of Chicago, attracted attention of Polish-speaking people throughout the world as an event of historic importance to the Polish nation. Bishop Rhode is the first of the army of Polish-speaking Roman Catholic priests in the United States to be promoted from the ranks of the priesthood to the episcopate. The ceremonies of consecration took place this morning in Holy Name Cathedral and were attended by delegations of Bohemian, French, Lithuanian and Italian priests from all parts of the country. Four archbishops and twelve bishops, who have many Polish-speaking people in their diocese, also wore present. The great cathedral, spacious though it is, proved much too small to accommodate all who desired to attend. The consecrating prelate was Archbishop Quigley, who took the first step among the archbishlps of the United States to give the Polish-speaking Roman
Catholics recognition in the episcopate of the church in America, and at whose petition Pope Pius X. named the Rev. Paul Peter Rhode, who was pastor of St. Michael's Polish Roman Catholic church in this city, for that honor. Archbishop Quigley was assisted in he ceremones by Bishop Muldoon of Chicago and Bishop rKoudelka of Cleveland, the first Bohemian bishop in America. A large number of the clergy assisted as officers of the consecration service and of the solemn pontifical mass. Every inch of space in the cathedral, the seating capacity of which is 2,000, was occupied, and hundreds of Polish residents of Chicago and vicinity, unable to obtain tickets for admission, stood outside to see the procession, consisting of Rev. Dr. Rhode, and the consecrating officials in their vestments pass through the episcopal grounds and enter the edifice. The ceremony, which was begun at 10 o'clock and required nearly three hours, is one of the most solemn and impressive in the church ritual It is divided into three parts, the preliminary examination, the consecration proper and the investiture. Bishop Rhode succeeds Bishop Muldoon as auxiliary bishop of Chicago. Bishop Muldoon, it is understood, is to be transferred to the charge of the new diocese of Rockford. At a conclave of Polish priests held in the Holy Name cathedral two years ago, the name of Father Rhode was selected to be submitted to the Papal legation at Washington as choice for elevtion to a
bishorprlc. Archbishop Quigley readily signified lhs satisfaction with the choice of the priests. The new bishop is but 39 years old and Is one of the youngest bishops in the country. He was born in Prussian Poland, but came to Chicago when a small boy. His mother still lives in Chicago. As a youth he attended a parochial school and continued his studies in St. Mary's college, Kentucky, under the guidance of the Resurrectionist order. He returned to Chicago and studied in St. Ignatius college, and his theological studies were concluded in St. Francis' seminarj-, Milwaukee. He was ordained in 1896 and became assistant pastor of SS. Peter and Paul's church in this city, where he remained for two years. He then was made pastor of St. Michael's church in South Chicago, where he still remains. The church now becomes the seat of the new bishop who represents the Polish Catholics as their first prelate.
New Y'ork tonight received, the decision over Rudolph Unholz, the Boer, after twelve rounds of rather tame going at the Armory Athletic club. The attendance was one of the largest seen at the club. Dan Donnelley was referee. Unholz was outclassed as regards cleverness, but showed ability to take punishment and was continually on the lookout to land a knocked. It is doubtful if Murphy's bfilows hurt him at any time. The Boer looked strong as an ox and was In grand shape, his great muscular development showing to great advantage. Murphy was also in fine condition. It was announced before they went on that both men weighed in under 133 pounds.

Johnny Coulon comes right back quick with a deft to Jerry Edwards in reply to a statement attributed to the Brooklyn bantam champion that the Chicago boy is side-stepping him. "I am busy getting ready for my contest with young Joe Gans of Waukegan on Aug. 6," said Coulon yesterday, "and after that I'll talk business to Edwards. If he thinks I am sidestepping let him post a forfeit with any one he may name and I will cover H at once. This goes for Edwards particularly, and any other bantam in the country."
LJUIM FAY0N TRACK W. J. McAleer's Beautiful Mare Fails to Show at Streator.
Laura Fay, Attorney W. J. McAleer's pacing mare, gave her first public exhibition yesterday in a 2:25 race at Srteator, 111. Laura Fay finished flth, the winner finishing in 2:17. While Laura Fay did not get within the money, her owner Is nevertheless satisfied with the showing that she made yesterday, knowing that she has better speed than exhibited by her competitors yesterday. It was Laura Fay's first Journey of a course In company with other horses, and she made the mistake of many beginners and broke at the start. She was too anxious to take the lead and had not yet learned her company manners. She traveled in a bunch of ten pacers among which she finished fifth. V. O'Girr Drives Mare. She was driven by Vernon O'Girr, McAleer's nephew, who will also drive the big horse course later on. Next week Laura Fay will enter the track at LaSalle. MrMcAleer did not seem to be worried by her behavior yesterday, knowing that it was only a fault of a beginner. He won't be very much disappointed if she has not Im proved very much by a week, feeling confident that in the course of time she can make her get away in good shape. NO AMERICANS IN REGATTA. iieniey, July 28. The Olympic re gatta, the first international regetta ever held in England, was opened here this afternoon, and will come to an end next Friday with the finals. No Ameri can crews or oarsmen are entered. There have been a number of with drawals, and as a result the racing of today was reduced to three heats. United Kingdom crews defeated the Canadians in both the four-oared and the two-oared races. In the sculling Von Gaza of the Viking club, Berlin, beat Killer, the Hungarian oarsman.

The "horse" editor of the LaPorte Herald must be going up against some of those new temperance drinks. Just think. "If you care for dope figure this out: LaPorte defeated Hammond, 7 to 0. Hammond defeated (Sunday) Lowell (which is claiming championship honors) 3 to 1. What would the score he if LaPorte played Lowell?" Valo Messenger. KELLY GIVES AN EXHIBITION. Ketchel Will Follow With a Public Display at Frisco Today. San Francisco, July 28. Hugo Keily gave one of his public exhibitions at Croll's gardens today, following the request of the promoters that both he and Ketchel give the public an Idea of their condition. A fair-sized crowd gathered at Alameda and it was agreed that Kelly did well. He boxed three men in the course of the afternoon. Kelly wore a bandage around this arm which was injured in his bout with Papke, but Ferreti, his manager, explained that this was merely a tight elastic warpping to avoid the chance of straining the member. That it did not affect his hitting powers was shown when he took on Charles Miller, a heavyweight, whom he punched in a fashion to indicate that he is not afraid of hurting his arm. Then he took on Dick Hart, a lighter man, with whom he went a speedy four rounds. His work with George Peterson, one of his regular sparring partners, was more in the nature of an exhibition. Bag punching with the light and heavy balls wound up the program. It is the general impression that he is in first-class shape. Ketchel will give a workout tomorrow, so that the crowd can form an idea of his shape.SPORTING BRIEFS. The Indianapolis team Is having things pretty much its own way in the American association race.

I subscribed heartily to the Democratic Platform adopted at Denver, and the wisdom which selected AYHllant J. Bryan and John V. Kern as the National Candidate of our party.
A SALARY FOR THE STATE'S ATTORNEY. I am In favor of the state's attorney being paid a salary; and petitioned the legislature, during my incumbency as state's attorney, to make the office a salaried one. If elected, I will accept a salary of ten thousand dollars a year and no more, and will turn the balance of the entire receipts of the office over to the people. THE SO-CALLED "SUNDAY LAW." The state "law" prohibiting the sale of liquor on Sunday, died very long ago in Chicago and Cook county. It's recent resurrection only demonstrated this truth. Persecution after prosecution before juries carefully selected with a view to convict, invariably resulted in aquittal or disagreement. Even where judges before whom these cases came up practically instructed the juries to convict, a conviction was Impossible. No law is greater than Its makers; no stream is higher than its source. It has been the rHile, sanctioned by judges of the criminal courts and numerous state's attorneys, and endorsed by common-sense and humanity, that where the state has failed to convict after trying a defendant on say as many as two indictments, to enter a nolle prosequi as to remaining indictments, if any. I call attention to the fact that the course of the crusade against the liquor interests has been more relentlessly pursued than if the defendants had been burglars or highwaymen The saloon-keepers belong mainly to our middle class, are doing business legally, and paying large sums into the city treasury for this privilege. They are, and should be, amenable to EXISTING laws, but a law that has been dead
for more than a quarter of a century virtually declared dead by jury after
means that renewed persecution is only carried on from motives of revenge, or for political effect; and is nothing more nor less than a futile effort to galvanize corpse. My position as to this "law" is the same as Mayor Busse's. If Chicago, with Its immense foreign population, is goirAr to insist on enforcing a dead taw of this kind, how long will it be before other steps in the same direction will be taken? The closing of theaters and restaurants will next be demanded, and Sunday base-ball, which gives pleasure and relaxation to at least two hundred thousand people, will come under the ban. Sunday is a day of rest and enjoyment for thousands of working-men and their families almost their only day and I am opposed to any interference with their health and happiness ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS. My oath of office binds me to obey The Constitution of The State of Illinois and of The United States. That Includes the enforcement of all EXISTING laws; and necessary requires a rigid performance of duty under that oath. I intend, if elected, to perform my official duties fully, without fear or favor. The oath I take as state's attorney is just as obligatory to refrain from persecution as it is to enforce prosecution. Politics or revenge are not a part of any official's obligations. THE INDETERMINATE SENTENCE ACT. I am in favor of an immediate repeal of the Indeterminate Sentence Act now in force in our Criminal Code. Having had practical experience in the enforcement of criminal law both before and after the passage of this act, I consider myself competent to judge impartially of its effects. Legally, I believe it to be clearly unconstitutional, as conferring judicial powers on the board of pardoTis. It makes the convict the servant and slave of the pardoning board, and no court in the country has any power to protect his rights or redress his wrongs. Morally It is a pander of wealth and power, especially political power, for the rich or influential criminal may be pardoned in exchange for support in some political crisis; or through buying political aid; while a friendless or comparatively unknown criminal may rot in his cell unnoticed and forgotten. The board of pardons is an appointive hoard entirely the creature of its designer. It's master's voice Is the utterance of the governor of the state. Judges, juries, humanity itself must how to its will. The Indeterminate Sentence Act makes the governor of a state a Czar, and the board of pardons his puppets. Under present conditions this law costs the people of Cook county at least twenty thousand dollars a year extra, as no man charged vith crime will plead guilty and take indeterminate penalty, since there Is no telling when he will be released. He will take chances on an acquittal, since a conviction,
or a sentence on a plea of guilt, means that he must remain in prison until pardoned. I am unconditionally opposed to this act as Illegal in its conception and demoralizing In its results. If elected to the office of state's attorney, I shall, of course, be bound by the act so long as it had not been declare. 1 unconstitutional by the Supreme court, had not been repealed by the legislature, and had resulted in the conviction of even a single criminal. But I am steadfastly In favor of its repeal at the earliest possible moment.

When a law is jury without a single exception, this Hhoton, of the Macon South Atlantic league team, is said to be the highest price ever paid by a Southern league club for a player in a lower degree. July 21, 190S, proved a red-letter day for New England baseball. On that day the Boston Americans took two games from St. Louis before a crowd of 18,000; Chic Evans, pitching for Hartford, shut out Bridgeport without a hit, a ball going to the outfield or a man reaching first base: New Haven beat Holycke 4 to 3 in fifteen innings, and New Bedford won a slxteen-lnning game from Lynn by a score of 3 to I.
