There will be feats attempted that

Three ambulances will be waiting

LAUzON AND KENNEDY
Chased From the Field by

Spectators Become Disgusted with
Game Which is Converted Into a
Regular Farce.

Yesterday afternoon the Lime Burn
trs put it all over the Nocks and
won easily by q score Of to 2.
| l.auzon and Jack Kennedy, the
| Mock battery, were chased from the
! field by Umpire Smink. and the re-
mainder OF the contest was a farce.
Gloomy Gus Fox, the damp ball
finger, was on the hill for the To-
Gals and twirled in his usual good
form. He had the Nocks guessing
all the time, and until the last part
Of the contest, when he slowed up
q uihc. they could not get within
, scoring distance.
The Lime Burners got started in
the second. Dithridge placed hard
drive in center and Daubert beat
ont a bunt. Fetter, the third man
up, filed the bases by being struck
bv pitched ball. The best Lucas
and l.uSkcy could do was to
pop out 10 Davis aud it looked as
though Kennedy was going to crawl
out of the hole. Fox decided mat
ters by lacing hard drive out
along the left field line for three
bases clearing the sacks. In turn
ing third, though. Fetter failed 10
toucn the sack and was declared
ont. retiring the side with but two
runs.
Then in the next the balloon went
up for sure. Myle;t drew walk
but Kennedy kept him ON the Jump
and finally caught him off. Flood
flied to Burke, but Farrell revived
hopes by doubling to left. Uthridgc
placed another in the same garden
and Farrell counted. Daubert s safe
one put Dit ON second and he went
the remainder of the way around on
Fe'ter', double along the left foul
line. Daubcrt went from first to
third on the hit. Here an argument
commenced, the entire New Castle
team claiming that the ball was
foul. lauzon told Smink n few
things and was put off the field.
| Kennedy kept on whore Lauzon left
off. and he, too, was chased at the
end OF the inning.
In the fourth Kid Hagen went
in the box and the game became Il
kidding match Manager Smith
went TO third and Steen filled the
left gardeners place. Bligger went
behind the hat.
The locals got their last run in
the fourth inning. Illskey beat out

He went 20 third on Mylett's ont

on bases every inning but one the
Blenders OF Hagen could moi be

nice fielding stunts were pulled off
by the Nocks, which in measure
redeemed their otherwise spirtless
playing.
The visitors got their first run
in the seventh when Hagen singled

East Chicago Votes in Favor of Dis
pOsaI of Property by Meagre Major
ity of 34-Matter TO De Settled Up
Tomorrow.

The election was held at East Chi
cago Saturday which is to determine
whether the city of East Chicago shall
or shall not dispose of its water and
light plant to the bondholders who
have heavy claims against the city.
The election was decided in favor of
the sale of the plant although the vote
was disappointingly close. There did
not seem TO be much interest shown
in the election, for there were only
317 votes cast on the proposition and
there was q majority of only "a in
favor of the sale of the properties.
Tomorrow evening the city council
will meet and take further action in
regard to the matter. What they will
do is conjectural, but 1t is expected
that the bondholders will be granted
the franchises they seek and the work
of rehabilitating the old plants will be-
gin at once.
The majority. of the people of East
Chicago are sick and tired Of the whole

be delighted with any arrangement the
city officials make, providing the rights
and interests of the city are properly
conserved.

NEWsgoYs HAD REAL TREAT.
And Possibly Young Woman Enjoyed
Experience, Too.

A young woman, blond and pretty,
was getting fully as much fun out of a
very thoughtful act as were the eight
very dirty little newsboys she was
treating to maple sundaes in a Twen-
ty-third street drug store the other
day. They were one and all having
the time of their lives, says the New
York Sun.
1t was a real party and the eyes OF
the octet simply bulged in excitement.
1t was lots better than getting rid Of
their last paper.
Gee, kids! amt this bully?" ex.
claimed one, but his companions had
their noses so close to the English
walnuts plentifully sprinkled over the
top of the drink that they couldn t
talk intelligently.
The girl stayed by until the last
spoonful was regretfully scooped out
and the boys, thanking her in some
what bashful fashion, little in accord
with their natural brashness, passed
out the door. Then with happy sigh
she too left.
Someone watching the proceeding
rather envied her the satisfaction, for
small boys Of that sort do appreciate
anything done for them which doesn' {
point a moral.
