The Sox always had mighty good
pitching and these same pitchers were
doubly effective at home. The White
Sox park IL away over on the South

is soggy. Hit ball on an up-over line
and IL strikes with dull thud.

Working on a place OF this kind IL
Is no wonder that the Sox were
schooled In a peculiar style OF play.
They went up To the plate expecting
TO get 10 first base. but not by hitting.
In the eyes OF Fielder Jones. one walk
was better than two hits. Therefore
the Sox crowded the plate and wait
ed patiently. Every pitcher who went

The young fellows now representing

the success that attended the efforts
OF the hard-headed veterans who
labored under Jones. But they are

have a wonderful effect on the White

Tombstone Thieves Pull Cross
From Another Stone This Time

The police have been unable to
solve the mystery surrounding the
finding of tombstone on the lawn of
John NJ. c. Rodney's residence. at
Tenth and Franklin streets yester-
day. Instead there had been a theft
reported which may have some bear
ing on the case and on which the
police are now working.
John ]. Donovan, who conducts a
marble and granite works at Lam
caster and Woodlawn avenues, re-
ported to the police yesterday that
on Wednesday night thieves entered
his marble yard and removed a large
cross from a monument, eight feet
high, and carried It off. The cross
weighed about 80 pounds, and it is
thought that there was more than
one thief on the job.
That the cross was heavier than the
thieves imagined is shown by the faci
that in pulling it OFF the top of the
shaft fell with it. The cross lefi
a deep mark in the ground where Il
fell.
] Mr.. Donovan is wondering whether
the same persons took the cross were
the ones who threw the old head
stone on Mr. Rodney's lawn. The po-
lice are also doing some thinking
along this line and an investigation is
no~ being made.

ward, expressed himself as favorable
to having the annexation made.
Al this point Mr.. McGovern again
spoke of the necessity of having the
city's laws annotated and for Council
to insist on each future city solicitor
keeping a record of cases which the
ordinance requires, which, with but
one exception. no city solicitor in the
past has done. He thought now
would be a good time to start the
annexation.
Mr.. Bilderback. of the Ninth ward.
asked whether Mr. Harman when the
latter was city solicitor. made the
annotation and Mr.. McGovern said
he thought that he did.
Mr.. Dempsey again took the floor
and in speaking of Mr. Kanes desire
for a two weeks postponement he
said that the Fourth ward councilman
would be in no better position at
that time than now to tell what the
finances OF the city will be and
whether Council could afford to have
the work done
Mr.. Kane retored that he recalled
that the printing committee Of Coun-
Gil (of which Mr.. Dempsey is chair
mani. had awarded the contract for
printing the newly-codified laws to a
printer for $500 more than the next
lowest bidder on the ground that the
city wanted the work quick. and he
added that the work had not yet been
started. He said his opinion was
that the annexation was not worth
five cents.
Mr.. Dempsey explained that he
presumed the work was being held
back by the printer, he thinking that
/ the charter laws and ordinances
would be annotated which work could
be done along withf the present con-
tract He said. however, that he had
not told the printer to delay the
work on this account.
An aye and nay vote was taken OH
| Mr.. Kane's amendment to postpone
action for two weeks and the amend
ment was lost. The Republican coun-
cilmen present, Messrs. Taylor, Ben
son Downes and Bilderback voted
with Mr.. Kane. and President Ban
ming and Messrs. Dempsey, Higgins
/ Conway and McMullen voted with
Mr. McGovern against the amend
ment. Mr.. McGovern's motion "a
have Mr.. Harman do the annotatinR
was then adopted by a vote of to 3
the members voting in the same
order.
Mr.. Kane raised a parliamentary
question when the vote on the amend.
me was announced relative "a
whether a majority vote of the en-.
tire Council was needed, two members
being absent who might wish to ex
press their views on the subject
c Consequently when the original mo
ton was adopted Messrs. Dempse.
and McGovern Immediately asked tina
their vote be changed 10 no.
This gives them the privilege Q
again bringing up the matter Tn
