CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-Frank McEvoy,

suit for $4,000 in the circuit court

notes for $1,000 against the association
and is said to claim other expenses
amounting to $1,000.
The suit is interesting to those who
follow the management of the local
tracks from the fact that there have been
rumbilngs concerning the cause of Me-
Evoys resignation from his nosition at

one exception. for Robert G. Evans, for
the senatorship. A meeting of, the joint

grams from Representatives George II.
Laybourn and Il. NJ. Pugh, of Duluth, as
surfing Mr.. Smith of the united support
OF that contingent when the legislature
meets and congratulating Mr.. Evans
upon his Endorsement.
The receipt of this news caused a f1ut-
ter in the Evans camps here. Everybody
was delighted and construed the action of
st. Louis to be a good omen of the action
of the remainder of the Sixth district
They believe that Evans strength is
daily, increasing and that he stands emf
nent chances OF landing the district.
There are two senators of the district,
outside of st Louis eoNaty, already COM
mitted to Evans. These are Senators
Brewer, of ST. Cloud, and Mccarthy, of
Grand Rapids.

Ietic Club Team.
The indoor baseball team Of the ANA
teur Athletic club and the Cretin high
school locked horns last night in the
Cretin school gymnasium and played a
seven-inning game, which resulted in a
victory for the Cretin boys by a score
of 81 to .12 The game, although full of
errors, was very interesting after the
first innings. The Cretin boys played a
very fast game. and clearly outplayed
the Athletic club team. Only one acc
dent occurred during the game, and that
was in the first innings, when Clarence
Newcome, left shortstop for the Cretins,
was blocked at first by Burdette, OF the
Athletic club team, who seemed to be
playing pretty rough bali during this
inning. NewCome's right knee was badly
swollen, and he was forced to retire from
the game. His place was taken by
Gehan. Bither started in to pitch for the
Athletics. but was replaced by Cook
after the first inning. The pitcning of
both McGovern, for the Crerins, and
Cook was very good, McGovern scoring
five strikeouts and Cook five. The game
was umpired by Charles Delaney for the
Athletic club, and Thomas Green for the
Cretins. The makeup of the teams was
