himself past the workmen. grasped
the largest ball in sight and with
muttered, Ash, losen gain! he let
ny ut a lone pin which he had pro-
vided for n mark. Jake closed his
eyes after starting the ball on its
course and awaited the sound of the
''binS" announcing that the pin had
been hurled against the cushions. But
no such thing occurred. Jake opened
his eyes and behold-the ball was
gently working its way slowly along
the trough. Then he uttered a silent
expletive and struggled himself out
of the room and started to gather the
club members for the official opening
of the alleys.

One of the original features of the

There was something like fraternizing on
the river today when the crews of Co

pened to get in each others neighborhoOd,

The Modern Woodmen of America
paraded through the streets of Indian
apolis yesterday afternoon and having
a number of friends in the order the
Saints and Indians postponed the game
scheduled for the afternoon and
watched the different camps march by.
The fact that the parade blocked all
cars headed for the ball park also in
f1uenced the homogeneous in arriving
at the decision to call the game off for
the day. Two games will be played
Saturday afternoon and Sunday the
Saints and the Indians will finish the
series with a game at Muncie.
The troubles of J. CantillOn, manager
of the Milwaukee bunch, also draws
attention from the pleasing showing
made by the Saints since starting the
tour of the provinces. Latest reports
from the front declare that the Cam
tillon excitement has died out and from
now the Saints should have the ex-
elusive use of the soft spot.
J. Cant1llon first leaped to the front
by landing his right on the map of an
inoffensive police sergeant who was
only attempting to do his duty. The
trouble was pOked up at Indianapolis,
where, it is alleged, J. CantiIlon oc-
cupied a bench, and hurled rude re-
marks at Umpire BERTHE Cunningham
Without knowing the real facts it is
hard to blame J. Cantillon.

DROPS BACK INTO
HIS OLD HABITS
Paroied Prisoner FORCES Check, but
Doesn't Get Cash.

The police are looking for Robert
Freeman, alias 0. S. Clark. a paroled
prisoner. who attempted to defraud the
Stern Tailoring company of $165 and
a suit of clothes by means of a forged
draft. Clark was released from the
penitentiary on May Is, after serving
three years on sentence for forgery.
Two days after he was liberated he
appeared at the Stern Tailoring COM
pany, ordering a suit of clothes.
The suit was made and paid for in
cash. Ten days later he returned and
ordered another suit and on Saturday
rendered the firm a draft on the Con-
tinental National bank Of Chicago,
drawn by Herrock Bros. of Ogden,
Utah, for 1904. Clark said that he
would be around later to take the diff
ference between the amount of the
draft and the cost Of the suit The
draft was cashed but the firm refused
to pay the money to Clark till the Og-
den firm was heard from. Herrock
Bros, in response to a telegram, no
titled the tailoring company that the
draft was a forgery.
Freeman, or Clark, was in St Paul
Wednesday noon. but he was lost track
of. The police are working on the
case.
