HARbOR TEAM WINNER.
Game With Crown Point is
Filled With Rag Chew
ing Galore.
(SpeciaI to Times.)

Crown Point, Ind, Aug 17.-Usually
there are extenuating circumstances
attending the defeat of a ball team,
but the spectators who attended the
game betweet the local team and the
Indiana Harbor aggregation, looked in
vain for them yesterday.
Only one excuse to help out the local
team can be given, and that is that the
players left their baseball clothes at
home, along with good deal of grey
matter that is usually necessary in a
ball game.
Nor had the Indiana Harbor aggrega-
ton anything to feel proud or boast
over and it is plain to be seen why the
Joe Long Colts of Hammond quit the
field in disgust in their game with the
Harbor team. OF all the beefng, rag
chewing, kicking, hog-it-all, teams that
ever visited Crown Point, the Harbor
aggregation have the right ofway
steam up, and side tracks all all clear.
Every man on their team. with several
others that weren't on the team, dele
gated himself to the role of official
Pooh Bah, being umpire, referee, score
keeper water-carrier. keeper of balls
and bats gate keeper, and official rag
chewer protein and their work in the
above roles would make a lemon peel
in a garbage box turn over in disgust.
The game itself was a bat-fest, in
which the side making the least num-
Der of errors won, but the official scorer
used up so much paper counting them
that he finally gave up in despair. Any
kind of swat" yesterday, was good
for a three bigger, and as there was
nearly two hours and thirty minutes of
| "swatting'' the score resembles more a
| German card game of "sixty-six than
| 1T does an account of a national gme.
| The lineup in the rag-chewfng con-
| test was as follows:

READY FOR SIEGE.

Washington, Aug. 16,-The White
Sox rested quietly today after their
strenuous two days session with the
Senators on Friday and Saturday and
are prepared to give the locals the
best they have in the final battle to-
morrow afternoon at National park.
The weather cooled off last night so
that the Chicago players enjoyed their
off day and caught up on sleep that
they have been forced to do without
since coming here on account of the
terrible heat.
Last night several of the Sox play
ers planned to go to the seashore in
case it remained so warm. but when
the mercury dropped they concluded
they would get their rest at their
rooms at the hotel here much better
than any other place.

KETCHEL ON TRAIL OF BURNS.
Stanley VIII Camp Tommy's Trail
When Latter Returns Here.

San Francisco, Aug 16.-Joe O'Con-
nor, manager for Stanley Ketchel,
says when Tommy Burns returns home
Ketchel will camp on his trail and
hound him into a fight. O'Connor said
today:
BY what right does Burns demand
a $4,000 guarantee, win, lose or draw?
All he has done is to whip old Bill
Squires, third rater. Ketchel has
licked men easily who Burns couldn't
whip, and he is as much entitled to
the championship as Burns. At any
rate, we will keep at his heels and
shame him into fight"
Next Wednesday morning, after his
bout with Thomas, Ketchel will start
on an auto ride to Los Angeles, where
he is to fight Papke.

Paris Pattern No. 2476, All Seams
Allowed Somewhat in the manner of
the Russian design, this little frock
will prove very popular with the moth
ers who desire to see their small
daughters prettily and becomingly
dressed. 1t may be developed with
roslnd neck and cap sleeves, or If de-
sired yoke and full-length sleeves
may be had, both being provided for
in the pattern. The round collar is
of the material, and this and the short
sleeves are trimmed with cotton braid
in soft Persian coolrs. A pretty idea
is to make the belt of the same Per
sian trimmings, or it may be made Of
the linen. The pattern is in four sizes
six to twelve years. For a girl of
eight years the dress with low neck
and cap sleeves requires 3H yards
of material 81 inches wide. 2A yards
36 inches wide, or 2A yards AZ inches
wide; three yards of insertion. With
high neck and long sleeves 1t needs
four yards 81 inches wide, three yards
56 inches wide, or 21a yards AZ inches
wide.
To procure this pattern send 10 cents
to Pattern Department" of this paper.
Write name and address plainly, and be
sure to give size and number of pattern.

Our
Farmers
Trade
Growing

During the past six months
our trade among the farmers
was more than doubled. Why?
For one reason we have been
making a play for the country
business, Offering the highest
cash price for produce, or we
have taken the produce in trade
allowing very liberal prices. We
need the farm produce. We have
a great demand for eggs, butter,
etc., in our store, and consider
this just as good to us as money.
Another thing, the farmers
have learned that they can ac-
tually save money by buying
their groceries at this store.
They have learned that we are
not 'hot-air'' merchants, and
have learned to take what we
say as the truth. We have
E'made good" in every respect.
If anyone ever buys a thing at
this store, which does not prove
satisfactory, we are more than
glad to make it right. But,
chances are ninety mine to one
that what you get here will just
suit you. We buy our groceries
fresh, turn them over often, sell
for cash or it's equivalent, have
no bad accounts, and therefore
can give you better prices.
If you are not already our
customer, we will be pleased to
have you drop around and give
us a trial ANYWAY.

The government of late has been falling down in almost
