sion form of government was defeated
Friday In special election by . ma
jority Of 813. Of asses cast. Not q sim
gle ward In tho city gave a majority
for the new rule. This ID the third at
tempt to change to commission form
In Atchtson and the most decisive de-
feat ever administered. This was prob
ably due to the fact that many re-
garded the attempt to inaugurate the
new rule at this time az q personal
attack against Mayor F1nney, whose
term would have been cut in two by
the change. Another cause contribu-
tory to the defeat was tho opposition
OF organised labor, because Of q griev-
ance against Henry Diegal, chairman
of the commission form campaign
committee.
Mayor Finney offered to support the
change II its supporters would wait

would have deferred election OF COM
mtssioners q year. This refused. Fin
ney became an aggressive opponent

Sox Home for Long Stand-Need
Strength-Cubs and Feds Win.

Callahan and his White Sox are
home for long visit, opening today
with series against the Maps. All
of the eastern teams must be met,
and if the South Siders are to lift
themselves out of the second division
this season, it must be done now.
The team needs ginger, of course,
but it also needs some new and active
material, able. to stand the pace of
an American League race. Two posi-
tons on the infeld are well guarded

gap because of the failure of Berger

ed to be off because of a disagree

either July or later.
Nate Lewis, Whites manager, says
he will take up the offer if a go can
be arranged for July IA. This will

with victory over Welsh to his credit
he could demand better terms from

Definite arrangements will be made
