WHITE SOX
ARE LOSING
Chicago Champions Have Lost Every
Extra Inning Game This
Year.

The Nashville Banner is devoting
considerable space this season to the
doings in the big leagues, and COM
menting on the work of the Chicago
White Sox, last years champions of
the world. makes the following time
ly remarks;
The White Sox are leading the
American League race, but are they
as strong a combination in pinches
as they were last year? They have
not won a single extra inning game
this season. They have clearly been
playing a great game or they would
not be at the top of the league. A
slouchy team couldn't stay there half
a minute But in the strain that
came in those OVer-inning games
where a single tally means victory
in most every instance for the side
that makes it, the SOX have not re-
sponded to the necessity by landing
that lone man across the plate in any
instance where the finish Of the
ninth inning left the score a tie. 1t
was a different story last year when
the Sox had their nose fight for the
American League pennant. Then they
captured the greater portion of their
extra inning contests. This year
| they have had seven such troubles
and the other fellows have Won
every time. Cleveland has had but
three extra inning contests and has
won out in every one"

RACE FOR THE
VANDERBILT CUP
New Jersey Wants The Big Automo
bile Races Held There
This Year.

In all probability New Jersey will
be the scene of the Vanderbilt Cup
race this season 1t is also probable
that the present week will definitely
decide the question. The Senate of
New Jersey is expected to meet and
either pass or kill the measure that
is now pending at Trenton. The bill
has already been passed in the AS
sembly anG Governor Stokes has sig
nified his intention of signing the
measure should the Senate concur in
the view of the lower House. Oppo-
sltion to the measure, it is said, all
comes from the upper counties of the
state, not directly affected by the
bill.
If passed it will permit the temper
airy suspension of the Frelinghuysen
automobile law by local and county
authorities and give these officials
power to set aside the use of the
highways between September LIST and
January 1st under such restrictions
as may seem proper. Provision is
also made whereby visiting motorists
going to New Jersey for the race, will
not be obliged to take out special
license, the license from other states
to be honored on the days of the
races.

held this week at Providence, R. l.,
and is attracting considerable atten-
ton among the lovers of that excit-
ing sport in all sections of the cOun-
try. Motorcycling has not yet taken
very we'll with the southern sporting

roads. but with northern enthusiasts
is being taken up with nearly as
much interest as was bicycling a few

Convicted Of Theft.

Adella Macpherson. colored. about eight
cen years Of age. appeared before Judge
Mullowny In the Police Court today upon
a4 information alleging the larceny of a
diamond ring; valued at $25 from Mrs Nor
ris Woodward. by whom she was employed
as a domestic at 1854 Newton street north
west. The girl entered a plea Of tot guilty
,,1hs n arraigned. but when PrecNct Detec-
the stand he stated that she had told him
she had taken the ring. According to fur
Their testimony Green had followed up sew
eral clews and at last found that the Jew
elry had been thrown into the furnace of
the house where she was employed After
questioning the prisoner Judge Mullowny
decided she could go down to the workhouse
for the next ninety days. 1t was stated the
girl had been given notice that her services
would not be needed after q short time and
when the ring was missed she was accused
Of taking 1t and was told that an officer
had been sent for. This seemed to scare her
and she went at once, 1t Is alleged, and
threw the ring into the furnace, where Pre-.
cinct Detective Green later recovered it.
