HAMMOND DEFEATS
WHITING 2 TO l.
Donohue in Pitchers Duel and Nc.
Mahan at the Bat Win an
Exciting Game.

While the White Sox were finish
ing their phenomenal climb to the
top of the American league ladder,
the Hammond team was convincing
the Whiting Grays that it takes more
than a $50 South Chicago pitcher
to rout Donohue and his team of in
vincibles.
Whiting chose to make it a pitch
ers game and while the most vulner-
able point Of attack would evidently
/ be the visitors team work, Ham
mond was more than confident that
Donohue had not met his equal, and
accepted the challenge.
The game was close all the way
through and was one of the best ex-
hibitions ever seen on Hubbard field.
The enthusiasm of the 500 fans who
were attracted by the prospect of a
4 fight to the finish which would re-
suit from the effort to pull down
the 500 prize, rose to its heighth
when the score was tied in the
eighth.
Whiting secured its only run on
two bad errors in the first inning.
Long, the Whiting second baseman,
was hit by a pitched ball and ad-
vanced to first. He started to steal
second, when Elder. the local catch
er, threw over the second baseman' s
head After, the Hammond center
fielder, in his attempt to back ur
Elder. ran up too far on the ball
and missed it altogether While the
hearts of the fans were up in their
threats and a frantic attempt was
made to recover the ball, Long was
joyfulIy encircling the bases on the
way home.
With one run chalked up for Whit
ing it was up to Donohue to pull
his team of the bad hole it was in
He set about his task with a will and
for six innings DonOhue and Bradins
battled for supremacy.
In the eighth an error on the part
of Callahan, Writings shortstop, lei
After in and tied the score, and from
this time on the game was heart
breaker.
After an unsuccessful attempt il
the ninth to decide the game Artel
started off the tenth with hit
White advanced him to second bas,
; with a neat sacrifice and then a hi
by MeMahan brought After in anC
scored the winning run.
Outside Of the pitching of Dono
hue, the batting of AFTER was on,
of the big factors in deciding tn
game. The hard-hitting center field
err secured three of the eight hit
that were credited to the Hammont
players and two of the three brough
in runs.
Donohue and Brading each ha,
eight hits scored against them, bu
the fact that Donohue struck on
; twelve men while Brading retire
, ten, gives the Hammond man a littl
better of the argument. When yo
: stop to think of it, % strike-outs j
, single game is pretty good RECORD

WASHINGTON AS A FIREMAN
He Was a Member of the Frfendshi3
Fire Company.

Fire Company.
George Washington was a member
Of the Friendship Fire company, or
ganized in 17T4 in his home, Alexan-
lria. At first the company consisted Of
citizens who, out of mutual friend
ship" agreed to carry to every fire
two leathern buckets and one great
bag of oznaburg or wider linnen."
Washington was made an honorary
member, and when he went as a dele
gate to the congress of 1774 at Phila-
delphia he examined the fire engines
Ia use there. On his return to Phila-
delphia to the Continental congress- in
1775 he bought from a man named
Gibbs a small fourth class engine for
the sum of ESQ los. and just before
he set out for Boston Heights to be-
come commander in chief he dispatched
this little engine to the Friendship
company.
During his younger days he always
attended fires in Alexandria and helped
to extinguish them. In the last year
Of his life a FIRE occurred near the
market. He was riding down King
street at the time, followed by his
servant. who was also on horseback
Washington saw that the Friendship
engine was insuffciently manned. and.
riding UP to a group of well dressed
gentlemen standing near the scene of
action. he called out authoritatively:
Why are you idle there. gentle
men? It is your business to lead IN
these matters"
After which he leaped off his horse,
and, seizing the brakes, was followed
by a crowd that gave the engine such
a shaking up as it had not had for
many a day.

Reno, New, Aug. 1.-Mrs. William
Ellis Corey, wife of the president of
the United States Steel corporation,
was awarded a divorce in the Second
district court of Nevada, sitting at
Reno yesterday. The case was sub
mitted without argument and the jury
took but one ballot. 1t was out but a
few minutes.
Mrs Corey was in tears when told
that she had been given a decree and
the custody of her sixteen-year-old
son, Allan Corey. She drove at once
to her home on Riverside avenue,
where she says she will continue to
reside. No evidence was submitted
by the defense.
The question of alimony was not in
troduced Mrs. Corey made an inter
esting admission, however. touching
upon this phase of the case, stating
that in May, 1906, several weeks be-
fore her petition for divorce was filed,
she negotiated through her attorneys
a financial settlement with her hus-
band She was not asked what the ma
ture of this settlement was.
