SPORTING GOSSIP.
BASEBALL NOTES.

The Yankees were able to get just four hits off Hess delivery, and he is by no means the most formidable twirler on the other side of the divide. Griff's men may come home with their shields, but they must hit, as their pitchers fail,

Bobby Wallace, the great little veteran shortstop of the Browns, is making the sluggers of that team look like infants. Bobby has been moved up into the heavy hit ter's position, replacing George Stone, and he celebrated it by get ting two doubles and as many triples.
 Outfielder Mcintyre of the Tigers broke his ankle sliding into a base. This will keep him out of the game some time, and at the same time prevent him and Tyrus Cobb from mingling merrily in extem- poraneous prize fights.
 The Senators certainly showed their bingle feet to the Browns. They got fourteen hits for nine runs off Howell and Morgan.
 Fielder Jones has evidently for gotten that he started out as big slugger of the worlds champions. He again failed to get hit while his team was walloping the Ath- letes
 
 The long trip to Chicago seemed to have a very bad effect on Eddie Plank, the king-pin of Connie Mack's twirling staff Plank was wild in the first inning, and that, coupled with brace of bingles, netted the Sox four runs, enough to win the game. Did you ever know the SoX to fail with those bingles when needed?
 Elmer Flick isastill making Cleve- land glad that they got him back, but we are not so enthusiastic He touched Orth and Keefe for single and couple of triples. No wonder they gave him what he wanted to get nim in line.
 The Sox got six runs in one game with five hits. none for extra bases They are up to their old exasperating tricks again.
 
 Our Eastern brothers are doing their level best for the most part to help hold the Western gang for us Boston walloped Detroit and the Senators trimmed the Browns.

JUDGE DANA WILL SEE.
Expects TO VISIT Scene of Controversy
Near TecuIlseh

There is a tinge of humor in the
case which is now occupying the time
and attention of the district court.
The case on hand was taken from the
Jury By mutual agreement of the at
torneys, Monday. and the jury was ex-
cused until Wednesday morning. The
suit is by Oscar Keuhne and Clayton
Hummer, a farmer. Both Keuhne
and Hummer own property near Cal
houn Bluffs. but on opposite sides of
the river. Kcuhne owns the south
side, and Hummer owns the north
this county.
The contention is that in 1903, dur

course. cutting off 80 acres from the
land of Keuhne and adding a like
amount to the land of Hummer
