SAM COHEN
BUILDING
GOING Up
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

East Chicago, Ind. May 10. The
last of the new buildings to decorate
East Chicago's -Four Corners" has
reached a stage in its construction
where 1t bids fair to rapidly take on
the semblance of the handsome bust
ness block it is destined to become.
This is the Sam Cohen building, 9TH
erwise to be known as the East Chi
cago bank building, which is in process
of erection at the southeast corner of
Forsythe and Chicago avenues. The
foundation for the new part of the
building is already in, and the floor of
the first story is almost finished. The
facing of the old building which is
Il be embodied in the completed struc-
ture has all been torn away and will be
replaced up to the second story with
stone to conform with the material to
be used in the new portion. and the two
upper floors will be of hydraulic press
ed brick.
The building when completed will
represent a value of $4,000. 1t will be
| 50x1oO feet in dimensions and three
stories in height
The first floor will be devoted to the
East Chicago bank on the corner and
Sam Cohen will occupy the east store
room with his buffet, which will be ele-
gantly fitted up in its new quarters.
| The bank will have handsome fixtures,
| the most up-to-date safety deposit
vaults and all the equipment that a
| modern progressive bank requires. 1t
will be most attractive and will be an
institution which East Chicago resi-
dents will point out TO visitors as one
/ to be proud OF.
| The second floor will be divided into
| flats and the third floor has already
| been leased to the East Chicago club.
| The flats will be modern in every parti-
| cular, having all the conveniences to be
| found in metropolitan fat buildings.
The club rooms on the third floor will
be elegantly finished and quite in keep
| ing with the progressive young club
| which is to make its home there.
| The building in short will be a credit
| to the city and monument to the en-
| terprise and public spirit of the man
| who is erecting it.

Indiana Harbor, Ind, May 1s-Geo.
Roop, plastering contractor who has
the contract for the plastering in the
Leo Drzechowski building, will begin
work on the building next Monday
morning. A feature of the finishing
of this building will be that all the
kitchens and bathrooms will be plas-

coting to be marked like tile. This will
be the first building in IndianasHa rbor
to receive this finish, and 1t is only put
on in particularly good jobs. 1t is a
remarkably strong composition and
does not crack like ordinary plaster.
The building, when completed, will be
one of the best in Indiana Harbor, cost

for business purposes, while the upper
floors will be divided into flats.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, August LIT re-

Tt was made by the champion trotting

was driven by C. X. G. Billings to wagon

a runner driven by doc" Tanner, the
champion stepped the first quarter in
O.osIs and the second in O27%, making
the half mile In 056A, in spite Of the fact
that he had to face wind through the
first quarter. If maintained a full mile,
this wonderful flight Of speed would give
Uhlan a record OF 1.5211. which is fair
speed for q running horse.

MAGEE IS
PUT ON PROBATION
President Lynch Reinstates
BeI|Igerent 0utfieIder to
Good Standing.

NEW YORK, August 12-Sherwood
Nottingham Magee, star outielder of the
crippled Philadelphia Nationals. will again
be eligible to play when the Phillies le-
turn to their home grounds next Wednes-
day. Magee was suspended for the re-
mainder of the present season some weeks
ago for an inexcusable assault on Umpire
Ffnneran.
The attack upon the umpire was made
during the heat Of a close battle at Phil
adelphia between the Quakers and Cardi-
nails during the last trip of the western
clubs to the east. F1nneran was knocked
unconscious by blow from Magee's fist,
and his face was so badly cut that the
services of surgeon were required. The
uncalled-for assault was witnessed by a
big crowd, the universal opinion Of which
was that Magee was entirely in the
wrong. a rigid investigation by President
Tom Lynch developed the fact that the
player was entirely wrong, and the ex-
ecutive promptly fined the athlete and
set him down for the remainder Of the
season.
Through the influence OF President
Horace Fogel Of the Phillies Magee was
Lynch's ruling by appeal to the board Of
directors of the National League. This
board upheld the verdict OF President
Lynch in every particular. But after he
was exonerated by the league directors
the presidents heart began to soften
toward the Phillies in their Affections.
Manager Doom. one Of the finest catchers
In the circuit, was crippled for the season
with a broken leg. Communications to
Mr.. Lynch. imploring him in the fair
name of sport to make an exception to

poured in from every quarter. Finally
the executive decided to reinstate the

The fact that Magee's reinstatement

to spend his money in An effort To give
that city winning team.
There is perhaps no better illustration
of the beneficial effect good pitching
stam has on a team even though II lack
strength than the recent winning strea
Of the Nationals.
There have been decidedly few poorly
pitched games by McAleer's twirlers since
the team returned from its last western
trip, and the result is that fourteen OF the
nineteen games played here have been
victories. When team has pitching
which holds the opposing team down to
few runs 1t stands chance to win.
because 1t can then depend on something
besides trying to slug out a victory. But
let the pitching be poor and it is only
question OF an inning or SO when the OPP
posing team will have so large a lead
that there is nothing to do but try to
overcome 1t by sheer force of welding
the stick. There Is no alternative and
good common sense base ball has to be
thrown to the winds.
Had McAleer's pitchers displayed the
have Of late this would have been q
most successful season for the club. for
the chances are that their position in
the race now would be nearer the top
OF the second division.
A perusal of the scores OF the Rochester
team Of the Eastern League creates tho
impression that the Washington club has
picked up three mighty good ball players
in Foster. Moeller and Spencer. This trio
are doing about everything that could be
expected to keep their team in first
place. Moeller and Foster are hitting like

yesterday, has all the earmarks OF being
a good pitcher. and, besides his ability
in this respect. he is a good hitter and

really be a member OF the Washington
club. but Dick Padden, who secuted for
the locals last season, after looking him

and McAleer. getting a tip on him. sent
Padden to look him over. Padden's re-
port was that Caldwell would not do. and
when New York picked him up and Nc
Aleer saw him in action he concluded
there and then that Padden's services
would no longer be needed by the local
club.

BY J. ED GRILLo.

If reports are to be believed. and there
is no reason for doubling them. the st.
Paul club OF the American Association
has sold two OF its players, O'Toole and
Kelly. to Pittsburg, for $4,000. more
money than that club could possibly make
in a single season. even if it won the pen
nant in its league.
This outlay of money for a pair of ball
players who have yet to show that they
are Of major league caEber breaks all
records and plainly shows the great rival
ry that exists between major league
clubs in their efforts to get winning
teams. Incidentally it shows the possibili
ties Of a minor league club. providing 1t
adopts policy Of trying to develop young
material. It is a fact lnat the average
high class minor league club finds it
easier to build up q winning team with
discards from the majors than by pull
ing youngsters out of the bushes, and yet
when it happens to strike it lucky there
is fortune in store for 1t, as is proven
by the sale of the two players mentioned
by the st. Paul club.
Dreyfuss in paying this enormous
sum for two ball players is merely TAX
ing gamblers chance. He is making
an investment which If it breaks right
for him will net him a fortune within
the next six weeks. He naturally
figures that this pair of players will win
for him the National League pennant
and put his team into the worlds series.
There Is no way to estimate what this
would mean to the Pittsburgh club in
dollars and cents, let alone the glory
of winning another championship.
There are but few clubs which could
afford to make such an outlay. New
York and Chicago in the National and,
perhaps. Philadelphia and Detroit in
the American, though it is q question
whether either of the last named could
really afford to take such a chance.
Detroit makes most Of its money on
the road, while Philadelphia is strictly
a twenty -flve-cent town. and its profits
are not near as great as would be those
of clubs located in other cities II they
had so successful a team
Pittsburgh stands a great chance to win

cinch the championship, and If they do
