Missionaries
PLAY FAST GAME
WHITMAN TEAM HOLDS SPOKANE
INDIANS DOWN TO ONE
RUN,

In a game which up to the eighth in
ming had every earmark of a scoreless
contest, the Spokane league team yes
|terday won from the Whitman team by
the narrow margin OF 10. Fast, clean
ball characterized the game and some
spactular work on the part of both
teams warmed up interest in the event
The first three innings of the game
went one, two, three for both sides, not
"a man getting to first. Later the In
dams got away little but nothing Sc
rious happened until the eighth, when
with the bases full one of the Spokane
ties landed a short fly back of second.
Brubaker caught him out but hesi-
tated in throwing in to home, and thus
letting the only score of the day.
The game was errorless for the Mis-
|sionaries However, there were two
plays. the throw of Brubaker's and the
passing Of al easy grounder between
short and third, which almost came un-
der that head. The Indians had the
best Of the hitting, getting four to two
on the Missionaries, one of the latter
ben: Of doubtful character. But in
all the teams We're we'll matched and it
was anybody's game up to the end
Local fans were interested in the
work of the Missionaries, especially in
the playing of Brubaker and Stanley
Borleske, the two new men on the team
Brubaker played at second and did
some spectacular work. Twice he cut
off balls that seemed sure hits and once
nailed a line drive between first and
second which seemed an impossible get
He fumbled and his man got to first,
but no error was chalked, it being
clearly too fast to handle. Most players
would rever have touched it. He
handles himself we'll and covers big
area of infield.
Tan" Borleske showed up equally
as Well His backstop work is good
and he can wing down to second with
the best of them. Whitman is strong
behind the bat this year and should
make a showing from this very fact.
The rest of the Whitman team were
old timers, whose work is familiar to
the fans of the city All did good
work, playing an errorless game in
the first contest of the season.

the most Of rather a minor part and

fun for the audience. The moving pic
lures are good and in all the play is
as clever as one would wish to see.

BOMB IN

WRECKS BUILDINGS ON
WABASH AVENUE
GREAT FIRE STARTS AND PANICs
OCCUR IN CHURCHES AND
NEARBY HOTELS.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-two building were
wrecked and windows were shattered
for a block around by a terrific *
plosion of a bomb in an alley in Wa
bash avenue, heal Sixteenth street,
Sunday night. The wrecked building
adjoins the Coliseum, where the First
ward bali was to be held Monday night.
The report of the explosion was
heard for a mile. The congregations
of Grace Episcopal church and Wabash
Avenue Methodist Episcopal church
and guests of nearby hotels rushed to
the streets in a panic. A two-story
frame building at 1913 Wabash avenue,
which adjoins the south wall of the
Coliseum annex, Immediately collapsed
and took fire.
The fire leaped across an areaway
and spread to another frame building,
which was also wrecked. Crowds Of
excited people, believing that the Coli
scum had been blown up, rushed to the
scene. The iremen and policemen be-
gan searching among the debris in the
belief that people were in the building.
1t was reported that two men had
entered n of the buildings a short
time before. That the bomb was in
tended for the Coliseum the police ex-
press little doubt.
One theory is that the bomb was
thrown as another factor of the "gam-
blers' war;" which has been marked by
the throwing Of a number of bombs in
the vicinity of alleged gambling houses
or resorts. The 27th explosion in that
section occurred a few weeks ago.
1t was at first believed that, several
persons were killed by the crash, as a
number were in the vicinity at the
time. Careful search of the debris by
policemen and fremen, however, failed
to reveal any bodies.

GRIDIRoN CLUB ANNUAL.
Hold Great Festivities at the National
~ Capital.

Washington, Dec. .14.-President
Roosevelt and his one-time friend, Ed
ward Hartman, met Saturday night.
For three hours they faced each other
with a table between them-and
those who beheld the meeting sat spell
bound. At the same time President
elect Taft and Speaker Cannon looked
~deiantly into each others eyes; Frank
Fl. Hitchcock, chairman of the repub-
lican national committee, and Norman
E. Mack, commander in chief of the
Bryan Waterloo, came together, while
CIRCULARS" and "insurgents" from
congress were arrayed against one an
other in the offerings.
In the midst of this dramatic stu
alton, when no man knew what the
next moment was to bring forth, a
rumble of thunder broke upon the
midnight air, and the steam roller ap-
peared on the scene. 1t was the real
thing in steam rollers, for it bore the
name of Taft in large gilt letters on its
cowcatcher-or where the cowcatcher
ought to be-and the additional symbol
of the Gridiron club and the date, De-
cember IL, 1908, proved it was being
rolled in on one of the most enjoyable
social occasions of the year.
1t was the annual fall dinner of this
famous organization of newspaper cor
respondents and big men from every
walk of life from every corner of the
world.
"Taft, Taft, Taft, steam roller,
steam roller, steam roller, whoo-oo-."
This was the song the merry Gridiron-
ers sang and as each guest had a
bronze steam roller souvenir in the
form of a paper weight at his plate,
the yell was voted a success, even by
those whom the historical juggernaut
had crushed.
There was no bloodshed at the meet.
ing between the president and Mr..
Hartman, and when the other old
political opponents met at the friendly
board they chatted and laughed and
exchanged condolences as though they
had been the warmest friends through
life.
President-elect Taft was cheered to
the echo; so were President Roosevelt,
Vice President Fairbanks, Vice Presi.
dent-elect Sherman and all the other
notables who took part in the pro-
ceedings by making speeches that were
not reported.
