up early yesterday afternoon. Pueblo de-
feated Denver by a score OF to i. Three

Both Minor and Engle pitched excellent
ball but the big fellow from Little Pitts
burg" excelled He kept the Cubs down To
seven hits widely scattered, was invincibe
with men on bases, and by his close atten-
tion to the batters made several of the
Grizzlies look dopey and foolish by catch
ing them of their guard. He had six
strikeouts on his little list and most of them
came opportunely.
The game was replete with brilliant held-
ing features The two sensational catches
OF the day were furnished by Bcldo~ 'rf
Cook. In the third Belden cut OFF Blake's 8

the great central headquarters of the
combined bucket-shop interests here.

The name selected for the new es-
tablishment is THE Consolidated
Board of Trade of Chicago" Its gen
eral object will be to manufacture
quotations for grain and provisions as
