Chicago, September Ga "wres-
Ting match between Cal Siegelman
and four porterhouse steaks was won
last night by Siegelman.
He had an hour and half to get
the four falls. The fourth steak went
down at the end of an hour and
twenty minutes.
Just for good measure, Siegelman
added three cups of coffee, three
pieces of pie, and plate of bread;
then, arising with yawn, inquired
whether there was any place in the
neighborhood where he could get
something to eat.
The match was backed by Sam
Weber and S. e. Fisher, newspaper
circulators. They put up $50 each
ON the contest. Weber won.
The battle took place i'm Kings
restaurant, 80 North Fifth avenue.
The steaks weighed two pounds
each. They were paid for by the
winner of the bet.

in the standing of the candidates this

been dropped off the list and some
new ones have been added. The
contest is going to be a very close
one, and is starting off very good.
il your name is still on the list and
YOU do not wish to enter the coT-
test, please call up the contest man
aSer at once, us your friends see
your name in the list and take it
for granted that you are going to
stay in, when if you do not care to
try for one of the valuable prizes,
these votes should go to some one
who is really working. If you can
not enter the contest, you will do
some other candidate a great favor
by having your name taken off the
list. The list as published today,
shows the standing of the candi-
dates Saturday evening, September
2. The votes are counted every
Monday morning, and published in
the paper the following Wednesday
and Thursday and in the Weekly
Free Press.
This week we have decided to put
on a big special club Offer For
every club of five new one year
subscribers, to The Daily Free Press,
we will give ballot good for five
thousand votes. To every club Of
five new subscribers to the Weekly
Free Press, we will give a free bal
lot good for one thousand votes.
Now if you were late getting START
ed, this is your chance to do a lit
tie extra work and catch up with
the leaders. This offer will hold
good until Monday evening, Septem-
Der II. All clubs must be in the
office by that time, or bear a post
mark prior to that date, if mailed.
Now remember with this special
club offer for new subscribers, that
this is a very important week of

afford to let the opportunity 90 by

remember that there are only a few
more weeks of the contest. Make
every day count. Call up all your
friends and have them save the
coupons for you, and ask them for
their subscription. Get all the new
subscribers you can this week while
you get those extra votes. You are
asking a favor of no one when you
ask a party to subscribe for either
the Daily or Weekly Free Press.
They are doing themselves a favor
when they subscribe for either pa
per, as they are getting a good bar
gain for their money. They are
getting the best paper published IN
this part Of the state, with news
that is news and right hot off the
wire. They can depend on whatever
they read in it.
Now do not become discouraged
if some one is few votes ahead

Chicago. September 6.-Wanted, III
Chicago, an office boy who will
rot get the swelIcd head because
he earns a salary Of $40 month,
$3.50 year. r. A. Widdowson, sec
rotary of the city's civil service
commission, told the newspaper re-
porters of the difficulty he found
in securing good office boys for
the city hall, boys who would not
be TOO pulled up by the Importance
of their salaries, who would not
degenerate in short time into
young cars, who would not smoke
cigars while their other office boy
associates had to be content with
cigarettes.
Sorry He Spoke.
Then he was sorry he spoke, for
the newspapers printed his plea and
throughout the day he sat with his
ear glued to the telephone receiver
listening to appeals from parents
and friends for "the job" for some
boy. 1.-THE trouble with the boys,
explains Mr.. WiddOwson, sis that
they think they are above messenger
boys and ordinary office boys just
because our rules require us 10
pay them about twice what the av-
erage boy earns. We haven't
found any yet who can stand the
prosperity"
How to Stimulate Building.
If any city wants to stimulate
office building construction it can
do so by following the example of
Chicago and reduce the height
limit. Just before the new Ordi-
nance went into effect in Chicago
limiting the height of buildings to
200 feet. instead of the former $50
feet. there was mad scramble for
building permits, and as result
there are seventeen office buildings
now under process of erection in
the downtown district, the total
cost Of which will be thirty million
dollars.
Many Will Exceed Limit.
Most of these will exceed the
2OO-foot limit and many will be as

The Boston Clothiers defeated the
fast Cleveland-Petti team Sunday
at the fair grounds by score of
u to 6. The fans were treated to a
fine exhibition of the national game
with the exception of the first in
ming. The visitors started at the
bat and three hits coupled up with
some errors piled up total of four
runs in the first inning. But the
Bostons came right back and evened
it up in their half. The game was
close and exciting but for the first
inning. Lee Thompson pitched a
splendid game, showing wonderful
control, passing very few and
striking them out in numbers.
Wildes for Cleveland-Pettis, showed
up good, considering what heavy
sluggers he was up against. Hughes,
Paul Farrell, Hughes, Guntree and
Faucet were the heavy boys with
the stick. Manager Pettis got about
the best talent he could and the
| Bostons sure are pleased at the
outcome. Make, Balkenhol, Ziegler,

Thompson were there and over with
the willow, Henry Mccall getting a
safe slam every time up. O'Brien play
ed a nice game in center field, accept

teams here for games if he can
