sensational finishes ever seen on a
base ball ground. Waukegan had
made two in the fourth on succession
of hits and errors, and when the game
was winding up in the eighth Kenosha
took a run and it looked as if the
game would go to Waukegan by the
margin of two to one. In the ninth
the little coterie of Kenosha rooters
had started for home, when they we're
forced to retrace their steps. It
looked as if ali was off for Kenosha.
The ninth was nearly over, but Duffy
came to bat and managed to get on
first with pretty hit. Then came
F1avin, and when he hit that ball the
Waukegan men thought that it never
would stop rolling. It rolled into a
pasture lot next door to the field, and
when the Waukegan men lhad finally
run it down the Kenosha boys were
strapping up their bats and two men
had crossed the plate. After Keno
sha had taken this precarious lead the
Waukegan players tried hard to win
cut in their half of the inning, but the
Kenoshas played perfect ball for
few minutes and the Waukegan
men failed to score. The tabu1ated
score of the game follows:

Little June Margaret Rossiter
Killed on the Tracks of the
Northwestern Railway.
SUCTION OF TRAIN is FATAL
Two Year Old Daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. L. A. Rossiter Meets With Fa.
tai Accident at the South Street
Crossing Monday Morning.

One of the saddest railway acci-
dents that ever occurred in Kenosha
happened at the South street crossing
of the Northwestern road at nine
O'Clock Monday morning when little
June Margaret Rossiter, the two year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. L. A.
Rossiter was caught by a passenger
train and hurled to the side of the
track. The child died short time
later at the home of w. r. Tanner
near the scene of the accident.
The little girl who was the life of
the Rossiter home had toddled away
from the house and had started out to
play in the yard in front of the house.
The mother who was busy with her
work had been watching the little
child from the window and had warned
her against getting near the railway
track. Just before nine O'Clock the
child left the yard Of the house and
ran down South street and was play
ing at the west crossing of the rail
way when a passenger train came
dashing up from the south Richard
Griffith was walking along West Main
street and noticed the little child but
he saw her too late to save her from
her peril, Seeing the train sweeping
down on the child Griffith shouted tc
her at the top of his voice and the lit
tie child started back off the tracks
Just then the train dashed by running
at a high speed. Griffith saw no more
but minute later when the train haC
cleared the crossing he rushed ovel
and picked up the child.
| Either the suction of the train haC
caught the child and thrown her with
/ great force to the ground or she hat
been struck by one of the cars. The
child was still breathing when fount
and as soon as possible the little body
was carried to the home of Mr.. Tan
rer near the tracks and Doctors Jor
genson, Cheever, Harbert and Rob
inson were called. The child LIVED
only few minutes. The remains
we're not mangled in any way save a
/ bad confusion on one side of the head
It is thought that this was caused by
the train striking the child or by it's
head striking the ground when thrown
down by the suction of the train.
Mr.. Rossiter the father of the little
! girl is employed as a printer in the
! Office of the EVENING News. He had
feared that one Of his children might
be killed by train and had planned
to remove to another part of the city
this week.
The little child was born at Tusco1a,
ILL.,, in Sept. 1908.

RETIRES FROM WORK
J. W. Johnson, Veteran Superln-
tendent Of Citizens TeIe-
phone Company Resigns.
MILLICAN SUCCEEDS PRINeLE

A general shakeup has been made
in the officers of the Citizens Tele-
phone and Telegraph company for on
Saturday afternoon J. w Johnson the
veteran general superintendent of
the company who has been in charge
OF the Kenosha exchange since it was
opened two years ago, gave up his
position and notified the directors of
the company that he would retire
from the active management of the
kenosha Office. Herbert S. Pringle
who has been the local manager of
the company for more than a year
has also rendered his resignation to
the directors and George ]. Newton,
uperintendent of construction for
the company since the work of build
ing the lines was started, has gone to
New York to accept the position of
chief engineer for the State Line
Telephone company.
These changes have not been
brought about by any change in the
ownership of the company but simply
through the desire of the officials to
seek other and more congenia1 work.
Mr.. Johnson who is now past sixty
five years of age will retire from
active work and take long deserved
rest. Mr.. Pring1e retires from the
management of the company to ac-
cept a place in the Office of Thos. B.
Jeffrey company.
Fred G. Mi1ligan has been selected
to take the place of manager of the.
company and the position of superin-
tendent formerly occupied by Mr..
Johnson will be abolished. Mr..
Milligan will also be in charge of the
work formerly done by Mr.. Newton.
The new manager was formerly the
manager for the Wisconsin Te1e phone
company in Kenosha and he has been
connected with the telephone BUSH
ness in the city for many years. He
is thoroughly competent as manager
and under his direction the prosperity
of the Citizens company should be
continued.
No other changes have been made
in the Office of the company. Miss
Maude Brogan has been retained by
the new manager as chief operator
and Miss Anna Portwine has been
advanced to the position of first as
sistant chief operator.

Kenosha Lake Shore League Team
Takes the First of the Racine
Series bya Score Of too.
REGULARS BEAT WAUKEeAN.
Manager Hermann's Team Wins HARD
Contest When F1avin Knocks
Home Run in the Ninth
Inning. Score to 2.

The KenoSha base bali players
never believe in doing anything Dy
halves. and this fact was shown Sun
day, for while Manager Breen's Lake
Shore team was walloping Racine to
the score of two to nothing OUT al
League park, Manager Hermann ana
his Kenosha Regulars were taxing
the scalp o. the Waukegan team at
the West Emo park in Waukegan Dy a
score of three to two.
The two games were the features OF
senni-professiona1 ball playing IN this
section of the country Sunday, and
there is no town in the country that
can boast of two teams who put up
such a splendid article OF ball playing
The interest in Kenosha centered IN
the game at League park, but more
than hundred rooters went to Wau-
kegau to witness the game there. OLD
Charley Zweenic, who has sworn al
1epiance to the Central Park team,
was with the rooters at Waukegan,
and when Kenosha won out in the
ninth he was Immediately given the
credit for the victory.
Fully two thousand people went
out to the League park to witness the
first of the series against Racine, and
a couple of hundred of the kac1ne
rooters came down to swellthe crowd.
1t was the old time RIVALRY AID there
was no end of spirit. From the time
the first man went to bat IN the hrst
inning until the last man was out in
the ninth there was something doing.
Mckay, the new pitcher who came
from Milwaukee Sunday morning to
Join the team, made good, and there
is no doubt but that he is the equal Of
any man who has pitched here this
year. He had the Racineites guess
ing all the time and he allowed them
but four hits. On the other hand,
Foss, who had been tcuted as a great
pitcher, showed some of his metal
and held the Kenosha batters down to
seven hits, but they were hits when
hits meant runs.
In the first inning it looked as II
Racine was really going to put up
hard fight for the game. The trst
two men up to bat struck out, and
then Hugg, who had formerly worn
Kenosha uniform, sent the ball over
center field for two bases. Then old
Jack Ollie came up and he got as
pretty hit as could be asked for and
advanced Hugg to third. He died
there, as the next mar up struck out.
With score of nothing to nothing
the game ran along until Kenosha
came to batiin the sixth inning. Laabs
got a single, Freitag drew free pass
from the former college pitcher, and
after o Rourke and McKevitt had
been disposed of, Knipple got in
some good work by putting the ball
out for two Dagger, scoring Laabs
and Freitag. Mauch famed and
ended the scoring for Kenosha. Ia
the seventh inning Burkhart, of the
Racine team, cut off another run by a
brilliant throw from center field
home. Racine never came near scor-
ing in the remaining innings of the
game.
The Kenosha team will meet Ra-
cine again on next Sunday and on the
following Tuesday, and Manager
Breen expects to bag all of the
games.
The score of the Sunday game fol-
lows.

ASK CHILDREN'S AID
Outdoor Art Association of Ke.
nosha Will Organize the
Children for the Work.
PLAN LARGE AMOUNT OF WORK

~
The officials of the new Kenosha
Outdoor Art association held their
first meeting at the home of Mrs.
Geo. A. Yule on Durkee avenue Satur-
day evening and made arrangements
to Immediately begin crusade to Sc
cure cleaner streets in the city and to
make other improvements that are
badly needed. The entire board OF
officers was present, but no steps
have as yet been taken to appoint
committees to have charge of the diff
ferent lines of work and it is expected
that the present week will be spent
in making canvass for members and
the committees will be named alta
meeting of the officers to be held later
in the week.
The plans for immediate work
among the members of the association
include the cleaning of the streets
and alleys of the city and the i'm
provement of the Kenosha city ceme-
terry. Other work will be taken up as
funds may be secured.
j / One of the notwithstanding portions
of the work of the Outdoor league
will be started at once. This is the
work,of forming junior leagues among
the school children of the city. The
teachers in all the city schools have
been asked to- aid in this work and
they have promised their hearty CO.
operation. This work of organizing
Junior leagues will not be deferred
until next year, but will be taken up
at once so that the children may be at
work during the summer. 1t is ex-
pected that this organizing of the
children will foster a spirit In favor
of civic improvement and tend to
give the children of the city pride
in the condition of the streets, alleys
and parks. Miss Metzgar is the
pioneer inithis work and she has al
ready orgnized bird club among the
boys of the city with membership of
nearly fifty. The club has found and
is protecting more than 200 birds
nests.
That the work of this club is of a
practical nature is shown by little
incident which happened few days
ago. One of the members of the cub
came to Miss Metzgar and asked that
she take immediate steps to whip a
boy who had been found destroying a
meadow lark's nest. Miss Metzgar
informed the boy complainant that
she had. no right to thrash the boy
and asked him: 'sWhy didn't you
thrash him?'' The response of the
boy wassready and he replied: by
go11y / did, but I thought he ought to
have another
This the right spirit among the
boys and it will go long way toward
protecting the birds of the city and
the surrounding territory.
The work of organizing the Junior
leagues among the children will be
started this week and some report the
progress will be made at meeting Of
the association to be held the latter
part Of the week.

Bold Highway Man Enters Store
of 7. Lockhart and Takes
Booty Valued at 5000.
CASH IN TILL is OVERLOOKED
Burglary Was Discovered Early
on Sunday Morning by Mer-
chant Policeman O'Hare-
One Suspect Arrested.

Another bold burglary was added to
the list of daring crimes committed
in Kenosha during the last few
months Sunday morning when lone
highway man entered the jewelry
store of Thomas Lockhart on Main
street and managed to get away with
jewelry to the amount of $500. The
identity Of the man is a mystery and
it looks as if he had escaped with his
booty.
The loss to the proprietor of the
store was greatly reduced by the fact
that the man had but a short time to
work between the visits of the mer-
chant policeman and on this account
the safe in the store was not forced
and hundreds of dollars worth of
property belonging to the customers
Of Mr.. Lockhart remained untouched.
The entrance to the store was made
by cutting out pane Of glass in one
of the rear windows. The hole was
just large enough to admit the body
Of a man. Once in the store the burg
lar lost no time. With unusual dar-
ing he went to the show window in
the front part of the store and with
one sweep he cleaned it out, taking a
large number Of rings, bracelets and
fobs. He then turned his attention to
the cases and several trays of va1u-
able jewelry were emptied into his
sack. BY this time it was getting
pretty close to the time for the visit
of the merchant police officer and the
man made hurried inventory of the
things in the store and added to his
booty by taking a number of silver
,thimb1es and some more watchchains
and fobs. He stopped just, long
enough to take big drink of whiskey
and threw the bottle on the floor and
then rushed out of the back door and
left the door open.
The open door was discovered by
O'Hare just after four O'Clock and he
at once notified w. H. Robinson who
occupies portion of the store. Mr..
Robinson at once came down town
and it was discovered that the man
had worked only in the department of
the store occupied by Mr.. Lockhart.
Just across the narrow aisle was the
cash drawer of the Robinson store in
which there was quite sum of money
but it remained untouched and it ap-
pears that nothing was taken from
the Robinson stock. b as&
The burglary was promptly report
ed to the police and the entire force
went to work on the case out no one
has been arrested who is thought to
be guilty of the crime. Sunday after
noon Officers O'Hare and Newhouse
took in John McDermott on sus-
picion but they had no evidence on
which to hold him and he was releas-
ed again Sunday evening.
The robbery is thought to have
been the work of an amateur and it is
thought that he had confederate
who kept tab on the actions of the
merchant police officer and the regu-
lar policeman on the Main street
beat.
A list of the stolen property has
been sent to the police officers in all
parts of Southern Wisconsin and the
police are hopeful of being able to
locate and capture the thief.
