NOTE!

B BEAKS UP THE GAME. ' Philadelphia, Aug. 5. Rain broke up the game between Chicago and Phila delphla in the first lning today, after the Cubs had made one hit and no runs, and before the Phillies had a chance to get to bat. A heavy storm, almost a cloudburst, deluged the grounds, drenched the 6,000 spectators and flooded the playing field. Twenty minutes after the storm broke the rain ceased, but the field was so wet that Umpire Rudderham called oft the contest, announcing two games for tomorrow. Ten minuter later, while Chance and Murphy were arguing that play should have been resumed another showed descended that justified the umpire's judgment. SOX PUSHED IN P0UETH PLACE. Two glaring burgles, one by the boss manager and the other by Billy Sullivan, expert sharpshooter, wrought the downfall yesterday of those Sox In their second tilt with Boston, 3 to 4. It was a rough jolt for the South Siders, following an exhibition of fancy flinging by Frank Smith, who mixed with Cy Morgan In one of the prettiest hurling duels of the season. The troun cing put Chicago on the rattler again to fourth place, while Lajole's Naps, moved to the third notch. Judging from the pace set in their first two contests here, the knights of the red hosiery are out to make a clean sweep of the series, and if suc cessful in their aspirations the hos tiles will leave town within touching distance of the first division. McGuire has used two of his strongest cards since alighting hero, but the Pilgrims have other twlrlers of high degree, while Jones has about exahusted his stock of top-notchers. That is, the available headliners like Smith and Al trock, while White and Walsh are not in trim to tackle the seaboard gang. MISCELLANEOUS BALL GAMES At Spurgeon Spurgeon, 10; Au gusta, 8. !

He will report at the close of the Eastern league season. Pittsburg wanted him earlier. but Manager Hugh Duffy says he needs the player too badly in the minor league race. M'FARLAND ENDS HIS BOXING. Will Not Don Gloves Asaln Until He Faces Phil Brock Tomorrow. Los Antreles. Au sr. 5. Packle McFarland wound up his boxing work today, preparatory to the bout of Friday night with Phil Brock, and after a brisk workout in the South Vernon gymnasium declared he would not put on the gloves again until he faced Brock. So far as can be learned, little betting is being done on the bout. There is some local play, however, on the basis that McFarland will not knock out Brock. The latters ability to take punishment is thought likely to count strongly in his favor. Judging from the odds offered by those who have left monev at Jeffries' bar to be covered. Packie will be a l-to-2 favorite when the men enter the ring. EAGLE EYE FOR AUT0ISTS. The south park commissioners have their eyes sharply on the motorists right now. The edict went forth some time ago that chauffeurs whose cars are emitting too much smoke must be stopped; that open mufflers must be eliminated, and, in addition, the motorcyclists, too, will receive warning about their person appearance, noise-making and speeding. The south park commissioners propose to Impose such restrictions upon the motorcyclists that they will be kept off the south park boulevard system unless conditions are changed. The Chicago Motorcycle club, at Its meeting last night, discussed this matter and wil ltakwe strenuous .action to see that the reasonable wishes of the park commissioners are observed. TRACKS WILL CONTINUE FIGHT FOR EXISTENCE. New Y'ork Racing- Managements Will Not Abandon Efforts to Keep the Game. New York, Aug. 5. In spite of the fact that Jury Commissioner Brenner commenced to prepare a list of jurors for the special session of court, Aug. 25, to try the race track cases, no hint has been gh'en by local managements of the tracks that they will abandon the fight. Empire City will retain its list of stakes and hopes to avoid trouble, as It is outside of the province of Assistant District Attorney Elder. Being in Yonkers, the course Is under the jurisdiction of the Tammany officials, who are known to be favorably disposed toward racing. It is thought the track may possibly make

Many vho found trouble in placing their wagers at the track, in the closing days of Brighton, developed the habit of putting up their bets early in the day. As a result the handbook men are about the only members of the sporting contingent who enthuse over the present crusade. Peter DeLacey, the former poolroom king, is also pleased with the present war.

UMPIRE BAITING IS COSTLY. Ban Johnson Suspends Two Players for Assailing "Silk" O'Laugrhlln. 'Cleveland, Aug. 5. Second Baseman Delehanty of the Washington American League club was indefinitely suspended today by President Ban Johnson as a result of the abusive language used by the player in yesterday's game here, following an adverse decision by Umpire O'Laughlin. Manager Cantillon of the Washington club has also received notice of the indefinite suspension of Right Fielder Otis Clymer for disrespectful language to Umpire O'Laughlin when he was called out on strikes.

In speaking of the attitude of the officials of Gary in regard to the in adequacy of fire protection, the in surance editor of the Chicago RecordHerald says today: In view of the Immense values at risk at Gary, Ind., the new town evolved by the United States Steel corporation, the fire protection in the town is regarded as wholly in- ; adequate. There has been an outbreak of incendiary fires during the last fortnight, a dozen buildings having been fired, and the losses have been so heavy that a number of insurance companies threaten to withdraw unless the protection Is Improved. A contract has been let for a pumping station on the lake, but this will not be completed until next summer, and a standpipe of limited capacity gives fifty-five pounds pressure for the mercantile district. The fire department has been volunteer, with an inadequate equipment, and the incendiary fires have hastened the organization of a pair department. Make for Success.

ohi.u rminu n " 'UHEU6HT AGJUH Edgar Don Sang Formerly of Crown Point, is Sued For a Divorce. SON OF OLD CHINESE DOCTOR Latter's Wonderful Cures Were the Talk of Lake County a Few Years Ago. (Special to Times.) Crown Point, Ind., Aug. 6. Special. Young Edgar Don Sang, well known here as the son of the Chinese doctor, who practiced here some time ago, and brought name and fame to Crown Point for some of his miraculous cases of healing the sick, has again been brought in the lime-llght, this time in a suit for divorce, brought about by the mother of the young man's 17-year-old bride, whom he married at Grand Rapids, Mich. Sept. 26, 1907. The following dispatch will be of interest to Crown Pointers who knew the young man and the Chinese family very well. Grand Rapids, Mich.. Aug. B. An in ternational romance in which pretty Georgia Ferguson, seventeen years old. a Chlnene suitor figured, has come to a sad ending. The bride no longer loves her Celestial husband, whom she married less than a year ago, because he was not kind to her. She says now she is sorry she ever promised to love cherish and obey her almond-eyed husband. Now her mother, Mrs. Lottie Trollope, has instituted divorce proceedings in behalf of her daughter. In the bill of complaint nonsupport and neglect are charged. The girl-wife also dislikes the name which she had to assume when she married Edgar A. Don Sang, September 26, 1907. She would like to be called Georgia Ferguson once more and she so petitions the court. The girl first met Don Sang at a skating rink. They became acquainted and skated together. After that they met frequently at other places and finally Don Sang asked her to become his bride. "When finally it became known that the two were engaged, the girl's friends criticised her because the girl was so young. She was attending the Madi son avenue school at that time. Don Sang told the girl and her moth er that he was soon to inherit a large sum of money and finally received the parential consent. The Rev. C. H. Heskett performed the ceremony. "We only lived together three months and then he began to neglect me. He didn't seem to care for me any more,' the girl told her attorney, N. P. Allen, "so I came back home." economy. e -! fit r J .'X t9: XK IW. V a rtt ? t k tt ft at t t n s s sr n ri ys, iz s ri a s t 'a mmmmmm A J i A rS. & t- rd. & j2 t si JS ?. l ri. fl s; I TZ.

LABOR NEWS

In New Ycrk state a bill which came from the health boards of the first class cities the inspection of mercantile establishments and places it in the hands of the responsible labor department was passed at the extraordinary session of the legislature and will go into effect on Oct. 1. Cleveland (England) ironstone miners have decided to press for a 13 o'clock Saturday; that is, that operations shall cease at the mines at 12 o'clock on Saturday instead of 1 o'clock, but no stoppage of work is likely to result if the masters refuse to make this alteration. There has been no general strike of the Cleveland Ironstone miners for more than thirty years. Through its political organization the Minnesota State. Federation of Labor is working to secure the adoption, by the state and municipalities, of the eight hour day, municipal ownership of public service utilities, payment of wages weekly, the initiative and referendum, securing better sanitary conditions, abolition of contract labor la state prisons, compulsory education and employers' liability act. Several prominent members of the Arkansas Farmers' union met in Little Rock recently to discuss plans of interest to the union warehouses and gins of Arkansas. It was suggested that Memphis be made a clearing house for union cotton of Mississippi, Texas and Arkansas, and that Little Rock be made a subclearing house for Arkansas alone, and that the union cotton be handled from the local warehouses throughout the state to the central warehouse in Little Rock, from tho warehouse to Memphis, and from that point to the English spinners or other purchasers.
