From victory to defeat in a Jiffy was the fate of the -world's champions today, and be cause Reulbach weakened for an in stant In the seventh inning the Cubs were whipped, 4 to 2. The defeat put the champs in third place. Just when they seemed winning hands down, in spite of their own failures to take advantage of their opportunities, luck turned against them, and one base on balls, given at the worst possible moment, caused Reulbach to throw away the game. SOX GET ANOTHER WHIRL. Denton Tecumseh Young, the seventh wonder of the baseball firmament, gave those White Sox another whirl on the merry-go-round in the opening game of the series on the South Side yesterday, Boston winning. 4 to 1. "Hirman," as the old warrior is affectionately Btyled by his fellow wearers of the Red Hose, allowed four hits, the first of these coming in the fifth round. And to make the trimming truly artistic the old man tackled thirteen different hitters, for Jones, driven to desperation, summoned out the reserves as early as the seventh round. To a squirrel on the ground it looked like a deal sure shutout for Comiskey's sliddtng athletes, but the. rally in the seventh, which introduced such eminent sluggers as Jawn Ander son and Jacob Atz, aided materially in sparing the home boys the stigma of a calcimining. In that session a pair of doubles and a slip by Wagner with Atz's long fly counted the solitary tally. PLAYERS MAY FOOT OWN BILLS Eastern Magnates of National League Figure on Saving Scheme. Eastern magnates of the National league are planning to make the ball players pay their own expenses on the road, and it is probable that this will wo into effect next year. A report from New York last night stated that the owners of the clubs were figuring on placing their men on the same basis as actors, who always pay their own hotel bills and other expenses. They even go so far as to decide that the players shall purchase their own uniforms and bats. This is also keeping In line with the acting profession, where the actors buy their own cos tumes and '"fixings." A loud and continued roar is expected to follow when the players get wise to this plan of the magnates. MISCELLANEOUS BALL GAMES At Centralia, 111. Chicago Grand Leaders, 7; Centralia White Sox, 3.

GHE FULL 0F GINGER " " Stocker Colts and Indiana Harbor Team Cross Bats. Indiana Harbor, Aug. 3. (Special) The game of ball Sunday between the Stocker Colts of Chicago and the Indiana Harbor team, was not remarkable for its spectacular features. The game from the start was too one-sided to be as interetslng as most of the games have ben this eason. The Colts never had a look-in from the tap of the bell to the finish. Indiana Harbor went out and by hard slugging, coupled with a few errors by the Colts, garnered seven runs in the first four innings. All the visitors were able to gather in the same length of time was a lone solitary score. Ford pitched his usual good game, allowing but six hits, two of which were in the ninth Inning and coupled with a base on balls and a sacrifice netted two runs for the enemy, but these could easily be handed them as it brought their total score only up to four, while the home team already had eleven safely tucked away. Ford also was some pumpkins with the stick, making two two-baggers, which brought in two men each time. In the second and third innings Ford struck the side out, not permitting more than three men to face him In the second and four in the third. Murphy was also a warm batting member, making five hits in his five time sat bat. Hughes caught for the home team, Galvin's finger not being quite well yet. By the way, Hughes has become quite popular with both the audience and the players. Galvin took Stunberg's place in right field when the latter was knocked out in the fourth inning. Heider, who pitched for the Colts, was not very effective, twelve hits be ing made off his delivery. His support, too, was ragged, the. whole infield making a number of costly errors. Verden, catcher and Reese, first base man, did the best batting for the Chlcagoans, getting two hits each, but that was not sufficient to beat the Har boritles Sunday, as they certainly had their batting clothes on. The final score was Indiana Harbor, 11; Stock er Colts, 4. The following is the line-up: Indiana Harbor Jones, second base; Murley, centerfield; Haskell, third base; Nellis, rlghtfield; Ford, pitcher; Sternburg, right field; Galvin, rightfield; Hughes, catcher; Nyland, first base; Barney, shortstop. Stocker Colts Verden, catcher; Jackson, leftfleld; Carr, second base; Reese, first base; Cochran, rlghtfield; Pace, centerfield; "Van Dyke, third base; Keller, shortstop; Heider, , pitcher. Struck out By Ford, 12; by Heider, 7. Hits Off Ford, 6; off Heider, 12. Umpire Hughes. . . BEATS IRELAND IN CRICKET. Dublin, Aug. 4. The cricket match between the Gentlemen of Philadelphia and the Gentlemen of Ireland was con cluded here today and resulted in a victory for the visitors. The Irish team went out in the second inning with "8 runs, the Philadelphians thus winning the inning and 7 runs. Yesterday the local players scored 86 in the first inning, as against 171 for the visitors. PLANS TO TRY INDICTED TURFMAN UNDER WAY. Special Jnrien Called for A tie. 55 to Hear Cane AgainHt Ofilcialn. New York, Aug. 4. Judge Watson M. Rogers of Watertown, who will preside at the extraordinary session of the trial term of the supreme court for hearing of the race track cases. served notice today on Jacob Brenner, commissioner of jurors of Brooklyn, to draw a special panel of 100 trial jurors From this panel will be chosen the vari ous Juries which will hear the cases presented by the Kings County grand jury. The order also states that a panel is to be drawn for a special grand jury to be ready for work in August, when there is usually no jury in session. This was proof that the Brooklyn officials are preparing to continue their vigorous warfare against betting, and that the special grand jury will be on band to observe how the law is carried out when racing Is resumed in thl ssection on Aug. 15. NELSON AND RYAN DON GLOVES. Battler nnd "Tonwllitla Tommy" South Bend Kan a Treat. Give South Bend, Ind., Aug. 4. Tommy Ryan, undefeated middle-weight champion, and Battling Nelson of Chicago, lightweight champion of the world, boxed six rounds in a scientific sparring contest at the Oliver opera house tonight. As was announced previously, no decision was made. The affair was tame and almost devoid of excitement, as was the case in the preliminaries which were put on by local men. LITTLE DEFEATED BY LARNED. Champion Successfully Defends nls Title at Longirood. TenBoston, Aug. 4. Larned having won permanent possession of the cup played for champion against Little today on the Longwood courts. The latter was never for a moment in the running. After his decisive defeat of B. C. Wright yesterday it was expected that he would give Larned at least a hard fight, but such proved not to be the case, for Larned was at his best. At the net, overhead, in the back court, the national champion was al most faultless, playing with a dash and an accuracy that carried Little com pletely off his feet. . . The flrBt set found the games at 3

all before Larned ran it out for a win, with the loss of but one other game, i The second set was the shortest of the three. Little winning but one game, the third. The last set showed Little at his best. With almost certain defeat staring him in the face he quickened his pace and earned point after point in the first four games, carrying the score to two games all. His spurt was short-lived, however, for, Larned soon broke up his attack and won the set. OPENERS AT JEFFRIES Preliminary and Seml-Wlndnp Hare Been Arranged for Friday Night. Los Angeles, Aug. 4. One prelimi nary and a semi-windup will be carded before the McFarland-Brock bout of Friday night. Al Vogt and the Young Harlem Coffee Cooler have been signed for the curtain-raiser and Kid Trendall and "Bubbles" Robinson will meet in the semi-windup. Trendall is the boy who attained some reputation around St. Louis under the same of Harry Trennell, when the old West End club was in operation. Brock is gradually winding up his severe boxing and works in public at Venice with Kid Webster and a new boy who has been labeled Kid Tough. McFarland, as usual, does his work at the Vernon South Side club. JOHNSON AFTER THE GAMBLERS President of American League Opens I p AVar on Raaehnll Bettors. Efforts to stamp out gambling in baseball will Immediately be made by the American league. President Johnson of the league will today issue a bulletin to every American league club. calling attention to the prevalence of betting and asking each club owner to enforce the section against betting in the league constitution to the letter. President Johnson figures that in order to discourage the gamblers it will be necessary to apprehend everyone caught making bets at the ball park. If the city police cannot be trusted to enforce the order he will recommend that the club owners assign' a "big force of private detectives to ferret out the bettors and those receiving bets.

I Worcester and Lawrence are having it nip and tuck for first place In the New England league. The Vicksburg team is making a great fight for the Cotton States league pennant, but it begins to look as though Jackson had it on them. The South Michigan league is having one fine race. Saginaw is leading with a percentage under .600 and Fay City is last with over .400. Buffalo and Baltimore will have to work overtime if they succeed in holding Providence in check. The Grays look mighty strong for Eastern league honors. The San Francisco and Oakland teams in the California state league are outclassed. San Francisco has won but 5 out of 39 games played and Oakland-2 out of 38. The South Atlantic league never has had such a one-sided pennant race as this year. Jacksonville is leading, 200 points ahead of Savannah, which team is 100 points ahead of Columbia. The race in the Northwest league has been a big surprise this season. Seattle, always a contender for the flag in past years, is tailing the bunch, while Vancouver, considered an outsider, is going forward rapidly. Extra inning games must come in bunches. A sixteen-inning game in St. Louis, the same in New York, a sev-enteen-lnning affair at Albany, twelve innings at Lowell, 12 innings at Montreal, 10 Innings at Toronto and ten innings at Rochester, all comprised In the record for one day.

Friedrichshafen, Aug. 4. The great dirigible airship of Count Zeppelin today was sent away for a twenty-four hour journey in the air to Mayence and return. Late tonight the apex of the triangular flight had been turned and the monster of the air, with nose pointed southward, was reported speeding along toward Friedrichshafen. where it is hoped the journey will end tomorrow. The flight to Mayence, however, was not an uninterrupted one, for something was wrong with the propeller while speeding along above the valley of the Rhine, and Count Zeppelin was compelled to bring the airship' down to the surface of the river at Nackenheim, eight miles from Mayence, where repairs were effected. This was after 230 miles had been covered. Satisfactory as the prospect for a record flight seems, it may be pointed out that the descent for renalrs nullifies the test if the trin was intended as an

An early date is desired that the notification celebration may be got out of the way before the state fair. The exercises will be held in the coliseum at the fair grounds and Bryan will make a speech the first of the two speeches he will make in Indiana this campaign. Arrangements are now under way to make the notification event one of the chief events of the campaign. Democratic clubs from all parts of the country will be asked to participate in a mammoth parade.

GARY TO GET FIRST

. GLASS PROTECTION i Money Will be Raised Im mediately For Building of Fire Station. PETITION IS CIRCULATED Trustees, By Citizens' Consent, Will Overstep Limit of Bounded Indebtedness for Building. Gary will temporize with the fire fiend no longer. As soon as it is possible to negotiate the necessary loans, Gary will have a fully equipped fire station as soon as the building can be erected. Impellec to action by the recent seri ous conflagration, the board decided to procrastinate no longer in providing the property in this city with adequate fire protection. The building will cost $45,000 and will be located on the property which has been deeded to the city by the Gary Land company at Massachusetts and Seventh avenue. Overstep Bonded Indebtedness. Heretofore the drawback in the, erection of the building has been the restriction by law placed upon the bonded indebtedness of a town. This dif ficulty has been overcome, however, by the circulation of a petition among the property owners, which, having been signed by a majority of the taxpayers. gives the trustees the right to incur the debt. This petition is in the form of a request for the flre station, stipuating the amount to be expended. Site fur BuildinK. The building will be located on the northwest corner of Massachusetts street and Seventh avenue. It will be constructed of brick and two stories n height. For the present the struc ture will be used as a combination fire station, police headquarters and city hall. The fire department will have & full equipment, including a steamer, and the other requisites of an up-to date station. In the rear will be lo cated the police department. On the second floor, for the present, will be the offices of the city officials. In the future, however, when the city hall is constructed, the building will be used for the central station for the police and fire departments and the second floor will be used for the dormitory and probably a gymnasium. Negotiate For Loans. The trustees will negotiate for loans at once and it depends on their success in getting the money how soon the building will be started.. It is the Intention of the city of ficials at the present time to get the building completed by this fall, .so that the fire station can be established and the police will not have to spend an other winter in the shack that has been used for a police station ever since the birth of the city. It Is expected that the appointment of a fire chief will be made within a few weeks, as there are now a large number of applications on file. Chemical Engines Arrive. At the present time it will be some relief to the property owners to feel the protection of the great chemical engines which have arrived. One of them will be used for the protection of the first subdivision, and the other for the south side. A demonstration of the efficiency - of the machines was demonstrated by an agent for the American-La France company yesterday morning. The chemicals worked in extinguishing a bonfire to the entire satisfaction of those who witnessed the exhibition. MASONS WILL PICNIC South Chicagoans Will be be Hosts at Big Doings at Hudson Lake. The members of the South Chicago Masonic fraternity have decided to hold their first annual picnic and reunion at Hudson Lake, Ind. The picnic will be held under the auspices of the local fraternity and the proceeds will go towards the expense of building their new hall and clubrooms at Ninety-first street and Exchange avenue. Another object of the picnic is to bring about a closer affiliation among the members' families and to form a general reunion. The picnic will be given August 15. The different committee have been appointed and everything is assuming what looks like successful proportions and the members are confident that their first attempt at giving a reunion picnic will be an unlimited success. Tickets for the round trip are only 75 cents and forty cents for children, so there need be no reason why everyone should not take in the affair. The first train will leave Englewood at 8:10, stopping at Grand Crossing, South Chicago, East Side, Whiting, Indiana Harbor and Gary. Owing to the fact that a large number from South Chicago will be unable to leave on the morning train an afternoon special will be put into service by the Nickel Plate road to convey this crowd to the scene of the festivities. The Mason's band from Whiting, Ind., will board the train at the oil city and will play lively selections both going and coming from the Indiana resort. Trouble.

POLICE SEE in II THIS FID

Ten-Year-Old Boy Finds a Girl's Severed Legs in the Canal and Sleuths Scent a Shocking Crime Which Has Been Committed DISCOVERY IS STARTLING 01 Coroner Declares That Members Were Severed With a Butcher's Saw and That They Belong to an Eighteen-Year-Old Girl Start to Find Clew. A grewsome murder mystery, which promises to be one of the most baffling that the Chicago police have lately been called upon to solve, was unearthed late yesterday in the finding of a pair of severed legs of a young woman in tha old Illinois and Michigan canal near West Thirty-third street and Lawndale avenue. Dr. Warren M. Hunter, coroner' sjhysician, who examined the limbs, gave it as his opinion today that the murder was committed within tho last week and that the legs had been hacked and sawed from the body with a butcher's saw. His official report spurred the police to action. First Thought To lie a Hoax. At first the authorities were inclined to believe that the work was that of medical students who had thrown the portions of the body into the water as a hoax, but when the physician reported that he could find no evidence that the legs had been severed from a cadaver or had been been treated with any solution such as is used In ,medipal colleges, they started to work on the murder theory. The fact that the -water is not within miles of any medical college added strength to the theory that a brutal murder was committed. Police Start to Find Clews. Inspector Dorman of the Maxwell street station, together with detectives from the Lawndale district, in which the body was found, started early to seek clews in the baffling mystery. The particular part of the canal in which the"severed limbs were found is known as Mud lake and connects with a small slip. This will be dragged by policemen in the hope of finding the other parts of the dismembered body. Wrapped in Part of Man's Shirt. The only key to the solution of the mystery is a section of a man's shirt, , in which part of the legs was wrapped. The collar of the shirt showed a faint trace of indelible ink outling the letter "C" and the size of the garment was 14. The police think the shirt may have belonged to the girl's murderer. CHILD AGTSASGHAFFEUR Crown Point Girl Can Guide Auto With Consumate Ease. Crown Point, Ind., Aug. 5. (Specials Little Virginia Salisbury is Crown Point's, and probably Lake county's, youngest chauffeur, and she Is becoming an adept in the art of handling a machine, driving her father's Ford runabout like a professional. Crown Point has also two or three women who can handle an automobile as well as their husbands, and it ia not an uncommon sight now to see a machine driven by a member of the gentler sex. This, a few years ago. was considered one of the impossibilities. SUNKEN FIRE BOAT WAS FORMERLY IN SOUTH CHICAGO The fire boat Illinois, an old South Chicago fire boat which was stationed at the Ninety-second street bridge before the advent of the Michael Conway, was sunk in the Chicago liver yesterday and three firemen on the boat narrowly escaped death. The Illinois was in South Chicago a few weeks ago, while the Conway was undergoing repairs and members of the local boat are well acquainted with the boat's captain and his crew.
