 Here is an item which was handed to a representative of the paper at noon to-day by q young fellow who looks as if he meant business: .Tha St Mary's
 baseball team has one more chance to get its championship back again. Man. .l ager Kane and his team will meet tho
 manager of St Mary's and his nine Ut the golf links tomorrow afternoon
 when a battle royal will take place s| which no lover of the game should fail to see'' The reporter did not recog- nize the fellow that handed him the note, but he thinks he would not be
 wide of the mark if he should say that he was Manager Kane or one of his men, for there was blood in his I eye and he acted as though he felt sure that the Bank street ball twirlers would I demolish the St Mary's. Probably they I will, but you never can tell much about l such things until the contest is over
 and the empire has rendered his decis-, l ion, so that for all anyone knows at
 this time the St Marys may white
 wash Manager Kane's champions. But
 what matter about that. It will be q
 great game and we'll all be there to
 witness the struggle for supremacy. l Samuel Jerome of West Porter
 street has been under the impression
 the past day or two that all wicked I men have not yet departed from this
 world and that there are still some per-
 sons who are mean enough to do any
 thing, even to steal bicycle. This im-
 pression was only dream, a hallucin- y
 is a we'll known parsonage, in this part
 of the town, attended the afternoon 1 performance of the great and only cir
 GUS which exhibited here on Wednes- 7 day afternoon and night After the
 performance Joe rode over Riverside ' street on his bicycle. Notwithstanding , the dampness of the ground and the ] rainy weather, the woods on the River |
 ing to him as place of rest. He says
 he laid down upon the grass and went
 to his sleep, his bicycle at his side.
 When he awoke several hours later
 much relieved by his undisturbed re-
 pdke, his bicycle was missing. still
 hunt failed to reveal it and Sam had to
 walk home in the mud and slush. Per-
 haps it was good for him that his bike
 was missing inasmuch as it was tiTne
 to light lanterns and he had none. This
 perhaps saved him from putting his
 hand into his pocket for $5 and costs The next morning Samuel reported the
 theft of the bicycle at police headquar-
 ters. It was fine Leroy wheel and
 it's number was 16,669 That was the
 last heard of the bicycle and the theft
 of it until this morning when Samuel
 met two reporters and told them his tale of woe. T would give . $5 bill
 to the person who would tell me where the bicycle is,' was his parting remark. About five minutes later Sam return
 ed breathIecs He had a young boy with him named BlaEsfels. ( Don't say anything about the stolen
 bicycle, I have found it.' he quickly said After recovering his breatb sc -s stated that young ElansflcId had just told him that he had tho bicycle at his 7 home on Riverside street. and that he. Sam, had given it to him to bring hoaae
 just before he took his nap on River side street When last seen MT Jerome
 was riding the recovered bicycle tq- l ward the police station to inform Chief Egan that he had recovered his wheel and everything was satisfactory.
