MIGHT HAVE BEEN BAD BLAZE.
Cotton Batting in Basement Of Fair
Store tgnites From incandescent

An incandescent lamp, laid by an
employe of the Fair store on bale Of
cotton batting, in the basement Of the
store, resulted in the igniting of the
bats, probably from the heat of the
lamp An alarm from box 81 was
turned in shortly after $3.50, and In a
few moments the fire was sounded out.
The different fire teams were out for
their morning exercise when the alarm
sounded, central station crew being on
North Center street, and the hook and
ladder truck west on State. The chem
fcal apparatus was strung from the
main entrance of the store thru to the
alley, where the fire was reached with
out difficulty from basement alley
entrance. No damage was done and not
an article in the store was removed
from its place. Chief Kirby had 4
chance TO test the bays at the south siie
station, having been at the station when
the alarm sounded. The chief was Civ

Standing of the Clubs.

Who does not believe in the potent
good luck? Wilson didn't do great
deal in yesterdays game but got two
hits, one in the second inning, and one
in the Stats. The first caused score
and the second caused his mates TO
pry the dent out of his anatomy Aside
from these stirring events. and more
important than both, he plucked in the
right garden. where he was wandering,
after the fifth inning, a clover with four
petals. When posted where those sup
erstitious Grays could see 1t, they fell
upon From and rasped him fiercely for
four singles in succession, and three
earned runs, TO say nothing Of another
that was gathered.
There was good reason to believe the
locals might get action on that saying
about willful waste making Woeful
want, due to the extravagant manner
in which they had taken hits and runs
the day before. They accumulated
enough then to last for an entire series,
but for all OF that they went after From
in the same manner in which they serv-
ed Easton the day before. In addition
to this they played a dandy fielding
game that caused the visitors to take
the lime. Nothing could they do to
prevent it. Much Of that was due TO
the superb manner in which Disch
stood them off. If Milwaukee had not
already been made famous, this taieht-
ed sons graceful performance of yes
terday would have been enough. with
an ease. as OF long practice. he held
the invaders at arms length, and shot
benders past them that they could but
half hit He had an aerial ball that
was a pipin, which caused no less than
seventeen of the opposition to pass
away quietly. via the sky route.
From has achieved a certain distinct
ion. due to the manner in which he has
heretofore barred the way to tallies for
the locals, and such other teams as he
has encountered. While there was
nothing fast and furious about the
swats the locals took off him. they
came just at the right moments. and
were helped at times by little un-
steadiness in the box.
