INDIANA HARBQR.

Miss Mabel Wagner of Hyde Park

Lundquist and Miss Edna Landen.

association will hold a meeting in the
Auditorium this afternoon, at which
some important business will be tram
sacted.
There was not as large a crowd at
the ball game yesterday as the man
agement expected. This was proba-
bly, due in large measure to the de-
feat Of the home team by Whiting on
saturday, but the fans should re-
member that the boys have had but
very little practice together. while
Whiting presented almost the same
lineup as has been playing together

In ten inning battle, whose mad
finish made the fans see red, the St
Louis Cardinals beat our Cubs yester-
day TO 8. winding up the home stay
of the champions with three straight
defeats.
For eight innings the lead seesawed
back and forth by the narrow margin
OF one run. and when a placid ninth
was over the score was knotted at
three runs apiece. All at once in the
tenth the Cub machine broke down.
and. taking advantage of errors by
Shean. the Cardinals put three runs
across the plate.
Apparently beaten, the Cubs rallied
once more in their last half and came
so near pulling the game out of the fire
that Manager Bresnahan was compelI-
ed to switch pitchers, and at the end
one long hit would have tied the score
Not until double play snuffed out
their last chance were the Cubs beat
en-, and that finish was more delirious
by the Punishment of Holman from the
game just before the last play for kick
ing on a strike. This provoked a dem
onstration against Umpire Rigler
which might have resulted disastrously
IL there had been the usual Sunday
crowd on hand.

EVERS OUT OF
GIANT GAME

While the Cubs are hurrying to New
York to open the important series with
the Giants tomorrow. Johnny Evers is
resting at his home in Chicago to re-
cuperate FRONT his nervous breakdown.
With the Trojan missing from the line
up the Cubs will be seriously handi-
capped. as the little second sacker al
ways has been an important cog when
pitted against the Giants. brief re-
lapse prevented Evers from going
along with the team. and on the ad
vice of DR.. T. A. Davis, Johnny was
given a prescription of absolute rest
to regain his strength. 1t is probable
he will leave the latter part of the
week and join the team In time for the
opening game with the Dodgers on Sat-
urday.

What probably was the greatest
crowd that ever looked at a game of
baseball saw the White Sox beaten by
the Detorit Tigers. TO 4. in a ten in
ming battle yesterday afternoon at
Charley Comiskey's pa1atial park on
the south side. There are about $4,000
seats in the grounds. Every seat was
taken, there was fringe of human be-
ings hanging on the outer walls, sew
eral hundred stood up in the ais1es and
nearly 500 were spilled out upon the
grass in right field. There must have
been between $4,000 and $4,000 persons
present. and the enormous crowd was
handled as easily as half that number
would have been at the old park.
Perfect baseball weather, the best
attraction in the American league
booked, and the enthusiasm of Chicago
for the national game drew the fans.
Crowds of that size have been unoffi-
cially announced at other parks in the
country, especially in New York but
the count probably has been padded.
The above figure is really a fair esti-
mate of the number that saw the con-
test at the south side. and it is doubt
full if that many people ever before
gathered for game anywhere in the
history of the paStime.

WHITING FEELS

Cages and the Whiting Grays.
The attendance at the game was p

done. The Grays' good luck of Satur-
day, when they defeated Indiana Har-
Dor, to 3, changed and as a result
they were defeated by East Chicago by
a score of 10 10 3.
The two teams will meet at Whiting

Paving Troubles.

Webster City made no mistake
when 1t laid paving that could be
repaired by local workmen and 1T
will make no mistake by sticking
to paving that can be thus repair

be handled by workmen Of ordin-
airy skill. With asphalt and some
other materials 1t is different anu

more or less trouble when the time
for repairs come around. Fort
Dodge Is just now experiencing
some of the vexations that must be

600 people that are beguiled into
using asphalt, as the following from
the Messenger indicates:
The Barber Asphalt company is
long on promises and short on the
fulfilment thereof. This is borne
out by their unwillingness to repair
paving on streets west OF Twelfth
and east Of Sixth and between
Sixth avenues south and north, &C
cording to the terms Of the guaran-
tee given to the city.
This paving was laid seven years
ago last month and accepted In NO
vember seven years ago. The guar
antee was for seven years. and al
though Superintendent Kilmar and
other officials have promised this
summer to have the work done be-
fore the guarantee expired, they
have failed to do so. In order to
protect itself IL the matter goes into
