Houston avenue. John Sabina and Stephen Conepelle were arrested at Seventy-second street and South Chicago avenue for carrying concealed weapons. Both men had revolvers and black jacks In their possession when arrested. A runaway, late Saturday afternoon, in front of the Calumet theater, caused considerable excitement to people returning home from work. The runaway

horse was attached to a light rig, and when the horse turned the corner at Ninety-second street and South Chicago avenue a collision could not be averted between a wagon, belonging to C. B. Johnson, a newspaper distributor, and the runaway, and as a result both wagons were almost totally demolished. The horse belonged to Frank Arnold, 892 Houston avenue. Two boys who were in Johnson's wagon at the time escaped being hurt by jumping from the wagon. The annual children's party, given by the Windsor Park Woman's club, at Nichols" hall Saturday afternoon, was a decided success in every way. A program was rendered by the children of the nortli end and it was exceptionally fine. The women were highly com

plimented on all sides for the way they

conducted the party.

A counterfeiting plant of the latest

type was brought to light when secret service men raided a cottage at Nine

ty-fourth street and Cottage Grove avenue, Burnslde, and found dies and an outfit for making $20 bills by the "splitting" process. The raid was followed by the arrest of Jeremiah Westerberg and his brother, G. Westerberg, in a south side saloon by police from the Cottage Grove avenue station on a charge of passing counterfeit money. The secret service men hunted high and low for the counterfeiting outfit when they raided the place and it was by luck that one of the secret service men discovered a trap door leading to the

basement in which the dies were

found. The men will be tried today.

Oh! That St. Joseph's club! It defeated one of the best baseball teams in Hammond yesterday when the Hammond Nationals went down to defeat before the best team of ball players,

averaging between the ages of 16 and 19 years. The game was played at the State Line grounds and was one of the fastest and best games witnessed by the Hammond baseball fans this year. The score was 5 to 3. The game started at 1:30. the St. Joseph's club taking their outs. A drizzling rain began in the last part of the first inning and the game was stopped. The players all hunted shelter under porches an dany place that would keep them dry. After about five minutes the rain slacked up enough for them to continue play. The players then went back to their positions and the game went on. The Hammond Nationals started to hit the ball in the first inning as if there was nothing to it, scoring three runs. The St. Joseph's club then came in for their bats but were unable to

cop more than one run. The three runs that the Hammond Nationals got in the first inning were all they were to get, for in the second inning the fit. Joseph's scored two runs, tieing the score and it remained so until the seventh inning, when they loosened up and scored two more runs. I'p to this time they had been playing in a drizzling rain, but It had

now ceased altogether, to the delight of the players and fans. The fans managed to get umbrellas and over

coats to keep them from getting wet

but there wore a few of the unfortunate ones who stuck It out, with the

result of getting a good soaking.

A crowd of about one hundred en

thusiastic spectators witnessed the

tame and were pleased to see such a

game, if it was at the expense of get

ting their clothes pressed the coming

week.

Both teams played the game of their life and were evenly matched. The feature of the game was the pitching of Ed Young for the St. Joseph's, fanning ten men in nine innings. In the ninth inning the Hammond Nationals were up to bat and a foul ball was knocked, which caused much excitement. The umpire called the ball a foul but the Hammond Nationals dis

puted his decision, which made it look as if the game would not be finished. After about ten minutes of wrangling the batter was called hack and given another chance, but was put out. The umpires were Voss and James, and their decisions were of the best and only once were they disputed. The St. Joseph's club will play the All Saints' crack baseball team at the State Line grounds next Sunday afternoon, and it is expected that they

will draw a large crowd. The lineup: St. Joseph's club: Jergins, c; E. Young, p; Winkler, lb; Klein, ss; Baker, 2b; Bohling, 3b; Engleton, If; Schneider, cf; H. Young, rf. Hammond Nationals: Stuby, c; Freyman, p.

The baseball game which Gary was to have played at Valparaiso yesterday for their opening game of the season was called off because of rain and wet

grounds. The Gary team, feeling in the best of shape, arrived in Valparaiso early in the afternoon. Just as they were dressing for the game, however, it started to rain and the rain continued until it was found necessary to call off the game. Although this game could

not be played. Manager Millner of the

locals will try and schedule another

match between the two rivals.

Those who went to Valparaiso yes

terday were: Catchers, Curran and McNally; pitchers, Clemonskl and Hill;

first base, Peltier; second base, Erickson; third base, Jackson; shortstop, Grannon; center field. Grimes; right field. A. Curran; left field. Edward Smith. A large crowd had gathered at Valparaiso to see the game before the rain started, and the Gary team waited as long as possible before the game was called.

COFFROTH PROMISES GORBETT A FIGHT

Promoter Says James J. Can Meet Johnson if Ketchel Is Whipped.

James W. Coffroth, satisfied with his matchmaking tour of the east, left last night for San Francisco. Before departing for the coast the Colrna fight promoter had an interview with James J. Corbett in which he promised Pompadour Jim a fight with Johnson be

fore his club Thanksgiving day in the event that the champion disposes of

Ketchel Oct. 12.

Corbett ran in from Hammond where he showed last night, winding up his theatrical tour. The ex-champion declared that he was sincere both in his desire to fight Johnson and his belief, that if granted a battle with the conqueror of Burns, he will he returned the winner. So convincing was the talk of James J. that he elicited a promise out of Coffroth for a battle. "I don't think Ketchel can defeat Johnson," said Corbett. "I have boxed Ketchel, and although he is a wonderful fighter, I do not think that he is large enough to swap punches with the big colored fellow."

Report That Reds Count on

John Brings Ultimatum From Murphy.

SLUGGERS BEAT

THE JUNIORS

President Murphy and Manager

Chance yesterday held a consultation

and decided that John Kling, their star catcher, must play in Chicago or retire

forever from baseball. The decision

was reached when the Pittsburg club arrived in Chicago and Murphy and Chance made the discover- that the

Cincinnati club Is expecting Kling to

join its aggregation and counting upon

his services for this season. The report that such a plan was on foot caused the Chicago management much anger. Chance and Murphy talked it over and at the close of the conference announced that Kling will not be sold, traded or given to any other club. "We have discovered that Cincinnati expects Kling and Kling expects to go to Cincinnati," said President Murphy. "Kling belongs to us. and he will play with us or play In his pool hall. lie will not be sold or traded to any other cub. This is final. We have decided that no other club can have him, no matter what it offers." The discovery that the Cincinnati club is expecting to get Kling was in the nature of a surprise. If it is found that the management . of the Reds has been dickering with a holdout player who is under contract serious charges may be preferred against the Cincinnati club. I'ntll the discovery of the scheme to get Kling to Cincinnati the Chicago club was willing to make some sort of a trade, but now announces that no trade ever will be made.

State Line Boys Rap Out Victory. The State Line Sluggers defeated the Central Park Juniors yesterday afternoon In fine style in a nine-inning game played at the state line grounds, by the score of S to 0. The game belonged to the State Line Sluggers from the start, and at no time did the Central Park Juniors have a ghost of a show to score. A. Teager, pitcher for the Sluggers, had them all under his control and put them out in one, two, three style. The feature of the game was the batting of B. Ebert and J. Lltian. B. Ebert (second linns Wagner) and the star hitter for the State Line Sluggers, showed his ability as a safe batter when he slammed out two clean two-bats hits yesterday. J. Litzan also made a two-base hit. The batteries for the State Line Slugers were A. Yeager and Johnson, and for the Central Park Juniors. M. Roberts, C. Love, W. Love and Fitzgerald.

nine-inning game of ball, the score be

nearly fifty men with half that num

ber of tramps are making a gallant

effort to make the road west of Rawl

ins passable for the car. During the

last few weeks, bridges have been washed out, lakes have formed where the road once ran and altogether the

situation is worse than it has been for

the past twenty years.

But for the prompt action of Road

Commissioner Ernst Sundin of Rawlins

in collecting a small army of men and tackling a job the moment the Thomas car made town last night, there

would be no chance of getting the car

out for a week. There is a small lake

directly west of Rawlins, which will block the car and, it will probably be necessary to bump the ties for a few

miles as a Union Pacific special.

CUBS GET A WALLOP

One little wobble executed in the twelfth round of a brain-racking combat crushed the world's champions yesterday, Pittsburg copping their first game of the season on the West Side. 1 to 0. A double, linked with a sacrifice, and Tinker's miscue, thrust the palm on the Pirates' hands, breaking up one of the most spectacular hurling duels ever witnessed at Mr. Murphy's palatial playground. Beating Miner Brown has always been the hardest sort of a prob'em for Clarke's crew, and it wasn't the fault of the three-fingered marvel that defeat fell to the lot of Chance's athletes. With a woe-begone cast of characters, ever striving, Pittsburg more than enjoyed an even break in the struggle until that fata slip-up. The champions clutched numerous opportunities to score, but dismal failure always rewarded their hardest efforts. The eame state of affairs existed in the camp of the hostiles. and for eleven innings the pitching of Brown and Cnmnitz held a mob of 12,000 frenzied fans spellbound in their chilly postures.

Johnson Declares Retired Champ Out of Game. Philadelphia, Pa., April 19. Jack

DISTANCE RACE TO FRENCHMAN

New York. April 19. Henri St. Yves of France won a fifteen-mile match race from Patrick White of Dublin, Ireland, at the Clifton race track, near Passaic. N. J., yesterday. White, after leading on sufferance for the first mile in 5:27, had to fall behind the Frenchman, who gained a lap on him In the fourth mile. At ten miles St. Yves was two laps to the good, and White dropped out at ten and one-half miles, saying that his ankle had gone back on him. St. Yves finished the full fifteen miles in 1:27:05 4-5.

NICK WAS A VICTIM St. Iouis, April 19. White Sox and Browns played the second game of their series before a crowd estimated at 25,000 yesterday afternoon, and the Browns won by the score of 6 to 2. "Bob" Hedges' new plant was taxed

to the limit to take care of the big crowd, which was greatly pleased over the game. Nick Altrock was the victim of the Browns, while the veteran Jack Powell performed successfully for the locals. Sixteen hits were made off Nick, while the Sox could only get a total of six swats off Jack. The game started in air-tight fashion, both teams doing great work in the Meld, and the pitchers held a tight rein on the batters. It was not until the fifth that the Browns broke the ice and got their first run over the plate.
