The Coney Island of Windsor Park,
which was thought by the residents to
have been condemned by the city officials, again bobbed up. Some pro
moters last spring attempted to built a
Coney Island at Manhattan beach, but were stopped by the aldermen of the Eighth and Seventh wards. Yesterday building was again resumed and all those who were interested in the mat
ter again went to see the local alder
men, who in turn went to see the build
ing commissioner. The Coney Island
wnicn is being bunt, is said to be no
more than a "bunch" of White City

Louis Frey, the South Chicago real estate man, has started a building boom
in calumet Heights. About half a

Coroner Hoffman of Chicago, in talk
ing about the serious street car disaster Thursday night, said: "If all the orders had been obeyed the accident in all
probability would not have occurred.'
Although the clump of bushes alongside
tne tracic mignt nave been the cause of it, as the conductor could not see over them. The accident happened at "Death curve" at One Hundred and
Fourth street and Indianapolis ave
nue. itie conductor, o. f. Best, was
killed and about fifty-five passengers more or less seriously Injured. Motor-
man James R. Spriggs is in a serious condition at the South Chicago hospital. He is unconscious, and up to the present time no definite statement has been made about the accident. A relief train was made up on the Pennsylvania and fifty victims of the disaster taken to the St. Bernard's and Englewood Union hospitals.
JERGENS
GE1S OLD JOB BACK
Barney Jergins, former catcher for
the St. Joseph club, who has just re
signed the latter, will probably be the Columbia League's new backstop. Jer-
gens for some reason unknown quit the St. Joseph club early this week. It Is thought that the resignation was due to some minor troubles which came up after the game witn Kensington last
Sunday.
Barney is one of the best amateur
catchers in the Calumet region, ana certainly made good with his former
teammates. It was rumored that Jergens would catch for the Columbia League, but he has not decided as yet whether or not he will accept the offer.

New York, Aug. 7. Patsy Brannigan's strength and , aggressiveness proved too much last night at the Fairmont Athletic club for Jim Kendrick o fEngland. The foreigner's cleverness puzzled the Pittsburg bantam for the first three rounds, but in the last seven Brannigan outfought him. The two recently went six rounds to a draw in Pittsburg.

Of today will in ten years, be a business man. If you have a son, it is your duty to train him in business methods. SEE That he has a bank account while he is growing up. There is no other one thing that will give him a more proper insight and conception of business than of having his own bank account. Now Is The Time. You Know It.
If their difference over weight can be settled, Packey McFarland, the Chicago lightweight, and Ad Wolgast. the Milwaukee fighter, may be matched to
day for a battle to be decided within a short time. Tom Jones, representing
Wolgast, and a representative or tne stockyards boxer met yesterday but
were unable to oversome the obstacle caused by the difference over the weight. Wolgast's manager Insisted upon 133 pounds, three hours before the fight, while the McFarland representative held out for five hours between weighing time and the time of the battle. The question of the two hours may be decided in a conference scheduled to take place today and if it Is the fighters will be ready to consider bids. Wolgast has an offer to meet Tommy Murphy, the New York lightweight, at Pittsburg Sept. 1. The Milwaukeean will spar three rounds with Marty Kane In the exhibition at Forest park this afternoon and in the evening will take on "Young Dougherty." Kid Cutler and William Demetral will star in the wrestling shows.
Boston, Aug. 7. Boston's red hosed youngsters ran rings around the white
I sox yesterday afternoon in the opening
game of the series here. Before the end of the first round the game was safely tucked away on the winning side
of the ledger for the home team, but they did not stop until the very last inning, piling up the runs until they had a total of 8 to 1. Bill Burns tried to pitch the game, but he made a said failure of it and had to be relieved after three rounds, with 6 to 0 against him. Harry Sutor then went to the firing line and finished up the contest without letting the locals make more than two additional runs. Arrellanes. the Mexican pitcher, was on the mound for the Boston team and he had the western men guessing. Five
hits were made off him, but so widely scattered did he keep the swats that if it had not been for a passed ball on the part of Carrlgan it would have been a shutout for the sox. Burns seemed completely at sea when the red sox began bunting on him. He set a bad example for his teammates, also, for none of the other Chicago men showed any ginger In their play. Eleven hits were made off the
two Chicago pitchers, six of them off Burns in the three innings he pitched and five off Sutor.
Capture Astor Cups in New

Newport, R. I:, Aug. 7. The schoon

Brewster of New Haven, Conn., and the sloop Avenger, owned by A. Dewitt Cochrane of New York, were the
winners in the races for the Astor cups
yesterday under the auspices of the New York Yatcht club. The Avenger had a lead of only one minute and nineteen seconds, corrected time, over the Istalena, which in actual elapsed time was over eighteen minutes in the lead of the Avenger at the finish. The Avenger last year captured both the Astor cup and the King's cup in the New York Yacht club's races. The course was a Block Island one, thirtyeight knots in all.

ties with "Cy" Young of Cleveland. It is said that Detroit gets a crackerjack catcher in Whalin. who comes from the Bozeman team of the InterMountaln league. The veteran pitcher, Al Orth, is onca more with the New York Highlanders. Here's hoping that Al haa something more than a smile when he starts twirling for the Yanks. Reulbach and Overhall of the Cubs. Camnltz of Pittsburg and Fromme of Cincinnati are the only National league pitchers who have pitched one-hit games this season. President Zbbets of Brooklyn is purchasing new players as fast as he can get a line on them. The only way to make good Dodgers of them is to catch 'em while they're young. Harry Camnitz, who has been purchased by Pittsburg, is a brother of Howard, now with the P'rates. Harry has been pitching nice ball for the Mceesport, O. and P. league team. If the American association enters
big league circles next season Indianapolis can join the Tri-county league and Johnny ling's semi-pro organization can tako care of Kansas City. Ernest ("Rube") Vinson has been sent on his way once more, the last can being tied on by the Lawrence New England league club. Vinson has played In both major leogues and In nearly every minor J-ngue in the country. All that Manager Murray of the Phillies has to do is to trade Magee and Moore for Mike Doniin, then Quit his Job to make room for Doniin as manager. If somebody would write some good music for this it would be a "eller." Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, has been doing good work in his recent bouts George Grdner and Walter Whitehead, a negro of Duluth, are slated for
a bout at Calumet. Mich., Aug. l. Marvin Hart has retired from tha ring once again. His last fight with Mike Schreek Is the answer. Dick Hyland and Johnny Frayna have been matched to fight twenty rounds on Aug. 20 before the Mission club of San Francisco. Promotor McCarey of Los Angles says he has the time, the place and the money to put on the, Jim JeffriesJohnson boxing festival.
Cincinnati, Aug. 7. President Murphy of the cubs, who blew airily into the city this morning, tipped off Man
ager Griffith's game.
"He's been after Chance right along
to give up Klrng," aaid Murphy. "But
there's nothing doing. Last week he went to see 'Husk,' and since then has
had several long distance conversa
tions with him, but without result. The fact is that we can't afford to let Kllg go to any other club. He has
taken a stand and so have we, and we owe it to ourselves and to the other players on our team not to recede from our position. "We're not missing Kling, as this boy Archer is catching the greatest ball I ever saw. He's a wonder, and no mistake. If Kling plays at all under the national agreement it must be with Chicago. That's final." "While I'm not . making any predictions for the cubs," added Murphy, "if I can believe the words of the members of our team, we will win another
pennant this year. If one were to call the roll of the cubs one would not find a single player on the roster who has any misgivings about the team breaking all big league records by winning four pennants in succession. Manager Chance advances several reasons for this confidence on the part of himself ad his men to fly a quartet of flags."

CUBS PICK ANOTHER Five straight over the doves means that much closer to the perfectly good league flag. Those cubs knocked down the last and best game of the series yesterday afternoon from the beans. 3
to 1. Pitcher Ferguson went like a' house ailre and might have jolted the champs with F.vers absent. But as usual little Johnny was on the spot and his individual efforts aided the cause
of the men of Chance.
Two long, vicious .swats, one a triple and the other a double, fell to Evers' lot, and he converted both of them into solid runs. His second bifferino came in the eighth inning and started a rally which brought disaster to Cecil Fergy. Two doubles, a duet of blngles and a sacrifice more than broke the tie that had existed up to that time. The combined effort caused two runs to parade to the plate. Rather tough for Fergy, after the way he had been going.
Knoxville, Tenn., Aug. 7. A riot
almost broke up the double-header between Knoxvilie and Columbia at Chilhowee park yesterday afternoon, and
as a result Umpire Van Syckle declared the first game forfeited to
Knoxville in the fifth inning when the
score was 2 to 2. It arose over the size of the batsman's box. The Columbia pitcher refused to deliver the ball. Manager Granville of Columbia kicked so strenuously that he waa benched and the team refused to play when ordered to do so by the umpire. Players and spectators swarmed on the field, but the trouble was quelled for the time being. Just as the umpire ha dannounced that the second game would be played. Fisher of Columbia and the umpire came to blows. Most of the players took a hand and the bleachers overflowed and riot prevailed for several minutes. Officers flashed guns and drew clubs and after considerable difficulty succeeded in quelling the riot, removing spectators
from the field and the game proceeded.
