WIN EASY VICTORY
Captain Arson and His Chicago
Colts Defeat Central Park
Team on Sunday
COLD GREETING FOR VETERAN

Captain Adrian c. Arson and his
colts of Chicago we're the guests of
honor at the base ball set-to at Central
Park Sunday afternoon and the Chicago
team found little trouble in defeating
the locals by score Of eight to five.
Had it not been for the plan of the
captain to spare his prize pitcher, Dom
broski, the score might have been con-
siderably larger than it was for the
two emergency pitchers put in at the
end Of the game were responsible for
the only runs made by the Kenosha
team. Arson had one of the great dis
appointments of his life. He had heard
that Kenosha was base ball center and
had expected large crowd and warm
welcome, but instead he got small
crowd and cold reception and as there
was less than seventyfve dollars in
the cash box, the game was not pro
nounced success so far as Captain An
son was concerned.
Central Park seems to be laboring
under the same old handicap, but the
C1OWu Gu016 vi h0uuudy ouOW6u GHdG
some of the old guard were still loyal
to the park and it is possible that when
the weather warns up, the managers
will be able to make Il paying venture
Of the base ball team. However the
team will have to be strengthened if
this is to be the case as there are some
decidedly bad holes that will have to
be filled in before the Veam could be
called a winning team.
Anson's team played pretty game
for the first six innings and Dombroski
who was on the slab for the visitors
pitched all around Knolls. He allow
ed only two hits in the six innings and
managed to pitch himself out of every
bad place he got into. In the first inn
ing the Anson's pounded the ball all
over the lot and made five runs. In the
sixth Merker who was recently signed
by the Cubs went in to pitch and in
half an inning the Kenosha team got
three runs. The locals added two more
runs in the ninth when Kommers the
left fielder of the Chicago team was
pitching. The runs were secured
through three errors on the part of the
Chicago first baseman. The score of

CHOKED AND ROBBED
Miss Anna {. Haagman Meets
HoId,up Man in Chicago and
Is Clicked and Robbed
NEGRO TAKES HER PURSE

Miss Anna E. Haagman a stenograp-
her employed at the Offices of the Sim
mons Manufacturing Company returned
home Monday evening after a short
visit with friends in Chicago and during
her visit she had an exciting experience
when she was held up and robbed by
a negro highwayman.
Miss Haagman had left Kenosha on
the late train Saturday night and when
she reached Chicago just before mid
night she started to go to the home Of a
friend on Dearborn avenue. Her friend
had telephoned that she would meet her
at the station, but Miss Haagman de-
clared that she was not afraid of any
thing and that she could make the trip
from the station alone.
The attack occurred beneath an arc
light on Illinois and State streets, and
q man hunt for the assailant was con
Quoted throughout Chicago Sunday
morning.
In telling her friends Of the assault
and robbery, the young woman said:
81 became confused by the darkness
and was slightly frightened because the
streets were almost deserted. At State
street a man suddenly threw his arms
about my waist and neck. He came
from behind. I did not hear a sound
until he seized me and Kissed: Give
me your pocketbook. -
ct turned my head and saw that it
was negro. I attempted to wrest my
self from his grasp, but he frightened
his hold on my neck. I feared that he
would choke me to death and dropped
my purse on the pavement. He released
his hold, picked up the purse and ran
into an alley. Before I felt strong
enough to scream he had disappeared. !"
A few minutes later passersby were
informed of what had taken place and
the police were notified.
