COUNCIL HOLDS
BRIEF SESSION
Little Business Comes Before the
Meeting of City Fathers

The Hancock city council met last
evening IN a session that was marked
more by brcvity and unimportance
than by the amount of work accom-
plished. \ report was received from
+. l.. Barrett. the iloughton electrician
who had been appointed To inspect the
IRE alarm SYSTEM, informing the coun-
Gil that in his opinion there had been
Siod worth of work done on the alarms.
The council then allowed the Kenner-
son bill for SS36.s0 for the installation
ot the system.
John Meininardi appeared before the
council and asked for permission to
move his saloon business from IFS
present location in the Dunahue
building 10 the building adjoining the
p'Neill stables. The request was un-
der consideration when j. &. Donahue
appeared before the council and de-
c!ared that the request was made by
Mr.. Meinnardi at the advice of resi-
dents IN the neighborhOod who had
malice AGAINST him owing To the last
campaign. He declared that Mr.. Mel
ninardi's complaint about poor Ioca
ton ana loss of business was un-
founded as far as he knew. Mr.. Meini
nardi followed with another speech i'm
which he denied everything the other
speaker had said The matter was laid
on the table
The street commissioner submitted a
report for the first eighteen days of
the month that was read and dis
cussed
The building occupied formerly 10y
James Teeto but which was badly
damaged by fire was ordered razed ON
the advice of The fire warden.
Dr Gallen, health officer under the
old administration, wanted his salary
which had been held back owing to the
failure to submit a report. The amount
was ordered paid \ petition from
Cooper avenue residents asking that
the curb lines he altered was referred
To the street committee.
The city clerk was authorized to sell
The garbage cans Al 81 apiece. The
board of public works was ordered Ia
put in 800 feet of water pipe ON Rob
orts street The board is to report its
progress at the next meeting
Charles Mason and Clerk Hoffen-
becker spoke on sewerage conditions
in the Wright addition but the council
did not feel in a position To do any
thing. The city raised the money by
special assessment To put in sewers in
these districts some time ago but the
estimates tell short of the actual cost
and the sewer was constructed
through but two of the three districts
leaving the third without a sewer. The
street committee was ordered Ia con-
fer with the board of public works ON
this question.
The matter Of meeting at 80 was
taken up ana the Councimen were
urged To arrive at that time. Chief
EXleN OF the fire department reported
that owing to a lack of Jars for bat
! teries and 10 lack Of material the fire
alarm system was out of order The
chief was made supervisor of the
| alarm system and will in the futur,
order his supplies through the clerk
without the council taking action.
Alderman Condor reported that sat
iSfactUrN progress was being made on
the park work. The lumber lett at
the driving park from the home COM
ing celebration can he utilized for new
work, the city attorney declares.

an average of .264 throughout the
season.
But this is an. old story with the
South Siders.- Pit them against a
good team, where they have to travel
at a fast pace to win, and they bright
en- up. Send them against something
apparently soft and they founder
helplessly. They broke even on the
years series with the Mackmen. The
St. Louis Browns were poison to the
Sox hopes. r.."
This peculiarly of the Sox game
is never better exemplifed than when
they meet the Cubs. The West Siders
always seem to have the edge on
class, but the Sox win just the same.
The wise person who can figure
the whichness and the wherefore of
this can get regular job picking the
weather any time. ...-,
Take John Collins as an instance.
He batted under .230 through the
American League season, and Gala
han was seriously considering tax
ing him out of the lineup before the
city series opened. Against the curve
ball pitching of the brand used by
Cheney and HUMPHREYS Collins was
about as effective as six-year-old
kid.
And now, in the city series, he is
batting .454, having walloped 10 hits
in % trips to the plate. Six of them
have been made against Cheney in
two games and one against Hum
phries in one game.
In the opening game he tripIed off
Cheney with two men on base, and
it was by the margin of these two
runs that the Sox finally COPIED the
game. Yesterday he soaked four
safeties, and it was his bingle in the
eleventh frame that sent home the
winning run for the Sox.
Collins, one of the weakest hitters
of the two teams, is leading all of

player They want to win because 1t
makes President Comiskey happy,
and because he treats them all right.
1t is the nearest approach to college
spirit that has been seen in baseball.
All of the aIibi workers are busy
explaining the defeat of the Giants.
This is because a large majority of
the experts picked the National Leag-
uers to cop the worlds honors from
the Mackmen. If the Athletics had
been favorites we would. not have
been. forced to pore over so many
excuses.
Some of the experts explain the de-
feat by saying the Mackmen got the
breaks. Then they explain that by
breaks they mean the Giants failed
to take advantage of opportunities
and blundered in the brain depart
ment.
But taking advantage of oppor-
tunities is one of the biggest angles
of the game. The great player is alert
for an opening. The mediocre one
waits for chance to do something
in a mechanical way. That alibi won't
hold water.
Another excuse is that Chief Mey-
ers was out of the game. Larry Nc
Lean sat in behind the bat and clout-
ed the Mack pitchers for an average
of 500, and his hits were timely. He
started the rally in the only game the
Giants won and drove home their sole
run in the second contest Mathew
son pitched. 4
They say Long Larry didn't know
how to handle the delivery of the
Giant pitchers. But Meyers has never
been held up as a shining example of
brains as applied to baseball. Ger
tainly Meyers could not have kept
Merkle from pulling his boner Satur-
day when he tried to touch Baker on
the line, overlooking until too late
the run that was scoring while he and
Frank played tag. That blunder cost
