Wherever Ed goes, the calf, like Mary's lamb, is also sure to go-or at least wants to. Whenever Ed bitches up his dog -art to take his family out to ride, the calf also takes his con- stitutional. IL seems remarkable what kindness will do for any annual. Here is case where cali has been cared for and practically raised by human hand, that has become as tame as any house dog.

CLOSE GAME BETWEEN MINNEAP-

Sc GIBBONS
BOTH PITCHERS UNCERTAIN
And Their Fielding Support Was Not
of the Best in the
Case of Either
Club.

Contrary to expectations the game Of
bail between the Lennon & Gibbons team
and the Minneapolis Brewing company $
players, In the Twin City Amateur league
series at Lexington park yesterday after
noon, was anything but fast exhibition.
Everything that goes to make up ball
game occurred at some stage of the
contest, however, and despite the lack Of
brilliancy by the amateurs the audience
Of 600 enthusiasts thoroughly enjoyed the
contest, which was finally won in the
last inning by the Brewers by a score Of
II to II. The redeeming feature of the
game was that both sides played about
the same kind of ball, and thus managed
to keep the contest close through the
nine innings. There was some excellent
playing at times, while at other times
the players went to pieces and scored
only in the error column. Both aggrega-
tions were handy at the bat, and the
pitchers frequently found themselves
standing idly on the slab with base run
ners tearing around the sacks, while the
fie!ders tore up the sod in the respective
gardens chasing long drives. Fleetham,
who was expected to do all kinds of
things to the locals, showed up in poor
form, having little control of the ball
and not half his reputed speed. His sup
port was hardly calculated to inspire his
best efforts, however. He retired five
amb tious clothiers. Dahlquist, who has
pitched first-ciass ball in other games,
got something of basting, but managed
to retire five brewers, at the same time
allowing sixteen hits to be made off of
his delivery. Fleetham Jared little bet
ter, giving the clothiers fourteen hits.
The stick work of K'nkel was of the
slashing order. Facing Dahlquist six
times, he sent the ball safely on five diff
ferent occasions. Several times he
brought in needed runs, and once made
the entire circuit on bad fielding by the
locals. Jahnke played an all-around
good game for the clothiers, batting well,
fielding his position nicely and stealing
bases like veteran. He got three hits
when they were needed. C.aytor took
kindly to Mr.. Fleethams curves and
landed two-bagger and a clean single.
Henry Martin played his usual steady
game at first, and helped himself to a
couple Of timely singles.
During the first inning Keefe and
Murphy were allowed by poor coaching
to collide in right field. Both were badly
shaken up, and Keefe had to retire Fol-

years, while Capt. Colleran doubts it..
There IS no way of ascertaining the
amount except by comparing records and
this is so tedious that it will take many
days to get correct figures
The alleged fraud was reported to the
authorities by James G. Trainor. Of the
nrm of SOuthard & TrainOr, who said he
was approached in March by a man who
said he had fixed the meter OF the
Ranler hotel. of which Trainor was man
ager, ard wanted his money. He told
Trainor that number of buildings were
getting three times as much water as
they were paying for A long list is al
present in the hands of Capt. COlleran
and the persons who are alleged to have
accepted the proposition Of the conspira-
tors are also known to the police.
Wolfe Is rate taker in the water office,
and Piggott is his assistant Trainor says
Wolfe agreed TO change the water meter
In the Rainier hotel and the Tennyson
building, also TrainOr's building. 80 the
bill would be one-third of the legitimate
rate. The two detectives saw Wolfe and
Piggott enter the room in which the wa
ter meter IS, remove the cap and turn
the hands of the dial back several thou
sand feet. While one OF the men still held
In his hand the cap Of the meter. the
detectives stepped into the room and ar
rested them Both men admitted that
they had been practicing the fraud for the
past two years. They said they had re-
ceived the plan from men who had pre-
ceded them in the employment Of the
city. In their possession were tools for
the purpose Of breaking meters and for
the alteration Of dials. The water office
has for some time suspected fraud. as the
statements made by rate takers showed
that certain meters did not register by
two-thirds what other meters In the same
neighborhood did. Detectives are still
working on the case. and Capt Collerau
says more arrests may be expected within
a few days.
