the only locals who went hitless, each
of the other men knocking one
safety.
Cleveland right now is not good
looking team. That isn't because they
were licked by the Sox in the first
game. But there is something lack
ing in their work They perform in
faltering way, and seem to miss the
vigor and vim of Chapman at short.
He kept the whole infield keyed up
with his chatter.
Olson and Turner are all right on
the left side Of the diamond, but Ivan
the Terrible is no Chapman. The out
field is far better than the SoX COM
bination, with Jackson, Birmingham
and Graney doing outpost duty. Nit
chell and Blanding, who did the pitch
ing, did not seem right. Mitchell trav-
eled six innings at a fast clip, but he
was being stung soundly. The wallops
were travelling at waiting fielder.
Graney in left played stellar
game. His triple scored both Cleve-
land runs, and a one-handed catch
from Schalk's bat cut off triple and
prevented at least two runs.
What happened in Cincinnati
should be passed over hastily, and
forgivingly. Give the Cubs time, and
remember that they have been prac-
ticing in hotels for the past two
weeks. Probably they would have
easily walloped the Reds in a Kelly
pool game.

AUDIT BOOKS OF MALT COMPANY
Officials of the Company Decline to
Make Amy Statement But Declare
That They Doubt Suicide Story
Seek Information in Other Cities.

No clew mas been discovered by the
police which will aid in the solution of
the mysterious disappearance Of Ed
ward j. Gormley from the city on last
Friday night. The police have been
buS.ly at work on the case since Mon
day morning but they are finding it a
very difficult one. Several people have
been found who saw Gormley on Fri
day evening and he is known to have
been on Main street as late ais half past
eight O'Clock Friday night.
At the offices Of the M. H. Petit
Mating Company no statement has
been given out in regard to the strange
departure of Gormley. G. f. Remer,
president of the company, admits that
the company has letter from Gormley
III which he intimated that he would
commit suicide and in which he charged
the police of the city with 'fhoundinp
hm but Nj, RemeE refused to express
any opinion as to what has become of
Gormley. In the meantime an auditor
Is at work on the books of the com.
pany and it is possible that some state
ment will be given out after the books
have been gone over. The last charge
tfat Gormley made on the books of the
company was one for the payment of
his own salary. This was made late
Friday afternoon and with this charge
ne closed up his account with the com
pany He ID supposed to have had this
money with him when he left Kenosha.
Friends Of Gormley continue to in
slst that 5hey believe that the young
nan has committed suicide while de-
mented as indicated in the letters left
behind him.. but this view Of the case
is not taken by the police officers.
Gormley's no lie is somewhere in Ohio
and the police officers Of his home
town have been Motif that he has
q sappeared from Kenosha under mys-
ferrous circumstances. The police have
10 reason for seeking the missing man
g eept to clear up the mystery attend
ing his departure. There is absolutely
nc charge against Gormley in Keno
sha and Their is no reason to believe
that there i'll be any charges against
him.
Organic .tions to which Gormley be.
longed are planning to push the search
tor him aud within few days pictures
o. the missing cashier will be sent To
different parts of the county in an
effort to find some solution of the mys.
Very. No other notes or let ers left hy
oormley have been discovered. The
police have been making an investie !.
ton into his financial affairs and have
found that he left few unpaid bills in
the city. The largest bill they have
found was for borrowed money. This
moneat was borrowed to pay the fine
recently assessed against Gormley in
the municipal court. His friends will
probably see to it that this claim
against him is paid.

NEED NOT FEAR WORLD WAR.
Congressman Cooper Talks of Conflict
Before Departure for Washington.

1.-The United States. will never en-
ter this European war unless we are
directly attacked Congressman Henry
a. Cooper is quoted as having said just
before he left for Washington. And
| do not believe this country can be
attacked, he added. Congressman
Cooper, because of his long service in
congress, is considered one of the best
posted men in the house on the subject
of insular possessions and despite the
fact that Japan has taken arms with
the allies docs not anticipate trouble
for America. Congressman Cooper de-
sired to remain until after the pri-
maries, but was called back by the
resolution summoning all members of
the house of representatives to Wash
ington. He said that he really believ-
ed the resolution was necessary as
there will have to be some legis-
lation because of the war, for the
reason that it is estimated that our
import duties will fall off at least
s100,0o0,000 annually. He did not care
to discuss the probable legislation by
congress to meet the apparently Ger
tain deficit

The war has not only raised food
prices over night but there has been

again has absolutely demonstrated his
independence and while there is an ap-
parent unrest in other professions
which is to be sure unwarranted, the
farmer above all has before him a sea.

or not the sudden rise in foodstffs is
arbitrary or is the natural result OF
economic conditions, the fact remains
that people realize more than ever the
