EAST CHICAGO. At our monthly meeting, held at Wetlands hall, Saturday. June 1, a vote of thanks to The Times was passed for the promptness in having: our an

nouncements published, which help us considerably. Am glad to report the Royal Welsh tea party was a great success. Mrs. Joseph of South Chicago entertained the company by singing a beautiful solo and graciously responded to a well deserved encore. After routine business had been done and committee appointed to make arrangements for our annual picnic and partaking of a dainty lunch, prepared by our ladies, the company dispersed, having thoroughly enjoyed themselves to meet again if the pleasure of the divine providence next September. It is our custom to suspend the meetings during the hot summer months.

SOX HAND CHAMPS. VICTORY If! 2ND.3-1 t Errors by Weaver and Walsh Cost Leaders Slab Duel-

INDIANA H ARB OB. St. Alban's Guild will entertain with a social at the parish house, '3620 Fir street, tomorrow night. Everybody who attends Is asked to come dressed In costumts simitar to ' those worn , at an old-fashioned country school and lots of fun Is assured. Mrs. A. G. Lundqulst Is in Chicago today. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Patterson and Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Lukens. who attended the Indianapolis races, returned on Saturday. They made the trip in Mr. Patterson's automobile. Mr. and Mrs. William Brown and Jlr. and Mrs. C. P. Rita expect to leave for Colorado today for an Indefinite stay. Both Mr. Ritz and Mr. Brown are in poor health, and it is to benefit this that a change of climate is required. George Brant and family of Commonwealth avenue will leave during the week for Colorado. Quite a crowd of fans accompanied the Harbor Indians to Whiting yesterday to see the game. Judge Walter J. Riley, who has been sick during . the greater part of last week, was able to resume his business today.

Twin errors by Buck Weaver, our champion Sabbath afternoon offender, paved the way to victory yesterday for Mr. Mack's exponents of higher baseball. Incidentally the fielding bobbles by the Frisco flash marred one of the

prettiest slab duels ever waged by "Big

Ed" Walsh and Jack Coombs. Pitching eight rounds before retiring In favor of a' pinch hitter, Walsh yielded four blows, the same number granted by the Athletic star, yet none of the hostile slams figured in the final score, 3 to 1.

Two of the three tallies followed

Weaver's slips, while Walsh made one a sure thing by loosing a wild peg over

second and another by letting Murphy

steal home. But for a slight case of

misjudsment by Reuben Oldrtng in the

Sox second Coombs would have hurled a shutout. The mlscue came on Shano Collins' spanking line drive, which sailed over the visiting center fielder's

knob and smashed against Comiskey's little green fence for a homer. It was

the only tally on tap for the Hose. Try

as they might in the remaining stanzas the leaders couldn't solve Coombs' de

livery, and the latter, with a brilliant

backing, fairly skimmed ljome without

miss.

The royal band was playing for the

king, Louis XIV., the "Miserere of Lully." The king was on his knees and bo was the whole court. Hiau majesty kept the awkward attitude until the

end of the hymn. After rising, the king turned to the Count de Grammont and asked how he found the music. "Very sweet to the ear, aire, but very hard on the knees."

CUBS SETSAiL FOR TOP

WIT H FIVE WINS IfJ ROW Second Place Looks Like a

Sure Thing to Chance's Players Now.

Boston, June 3. Second place for

Chance's Cubs Is a certainty before many more days have elapsed, and there is also a possibility of the westerner's closing up the gap that now yawns between them and the first place. This prediction looks good on' the strength of the ball rlayed by the west

siders In their last few engagements, and they only have to cop today's and Tuesday's battle hiere In order to have a threatening hold 'on the heels of Mc-

Graw's hurrying athletes.' -

One thing thai; has helped the Cubs

to win five straight is the marked In

crease in hitting. Extra base blows have been coming with monotonous regularity, and they have been timely. In this respect Zimmerman naturally tops the list, and If he continues in his present stride he will not only finish

the year as the league's leading swatsman, but as the best run producer. Sat

urday he sent three runs over the pan

on his hits and scored two others himself.

HAMMOND BEATS GARY

Outplaying the leaders of the North

ern Indiana league in nearly every department of the game, Hammond cut

some swath at the H. A. A. park Satur

day afternoon when they took the scalp of Gary by a decisive score of 6 to 1.

This was the flr6t of Saturday baseball In Hammond and a very small crowd turned out to give the boys support. Those fans who will not turn out to Sunday baseball were also missing at

the Saturday game and consequently things looked pretty blue for the man

agement. But Hammond played a bril

liant game Just the same, Bergman get

ting ten strikeouts, while Crosier of Gary only got five. Yesterday's game

with Laporte was called off on account of weather conditions. Scorec

First Mall. The first mall between New York and Boston was established la 1672. The letters were carried by a messenger, who was directed to "go and return as often as once a month." This monthly service seems to hare been sufficient for some thirty years, when It was changed to a fortnightly serrlce. In 1698 a well organized system of postoffiees was established In Pennsylvania and la other localities.
