Cincinnati yesterday and saw
Brownie trim the Cubs. He pitched
his regulation game, settling down
to real work when threatened and
holding his opponents safe. The Cubs
got eight hits, including two by
Leach and doubles by Mitchell and
Bresnahan and triple by Tim, but
they always fell short of enough
strength to put the skids to their
former pal.
1t was again conclusfvely proven
that Larry Cheney is being over
worked to a point where he is easy to
hit. If Larry is not given good
rest now he will crumble when the
Cubs swing through the East on their
next trip and the coming clash with
the seaboard teams is going long
way in determining the resting place
of the Chicago team at the end of
the pennant race.
Cincinnati pestled Cheney for Ii
hits, totaling 16 bases and should
have scored at least ten runs but
for dumb base running. The heat got
to Cheney, and at the finish ne was

vote for or against the commission

Two registration days will be had,

with the report of the special commit
tee, comprised of D. w. Clark, J. H.
S. Thomson and c. J. Lee, which re-
ported that they found the signatures
to the various petitions presented le-
gal in every way.
D. w. Clark then made the formal
motion to hold the election. Mr..
Clark said that certain members of
the city council had been opposed to
the action of the majority in referring
the petition to committee; that ap.
parently they had feared an intention
to indefinitely postpone the report In
every way possible and that they had
fought the councils action from the
start.
He insisted that an election should
be called Immediately, the sooner the
better. He deplored certain intima.
tions that the council was made up
of grafters and squanderers of the
peoples money. He declared that the
intimation of one Of the local papers
that the council intended to pigeon.
hole the petition was not true; and
that it was up to the council to let
the people Of the city decide for
themselves whether they wished at
this time to make a change in the city
government. -.

the evening the program closed with
a theater party, and the presentation
of loving cup to N. B. Black by the

From the good people Of Grand
