Although Shaw struck out the side in
the Chicago fourth, he was hit for a
trio of singles and contributed a wild
pitch. This produced a hostile tally
the White Sox final run of the afternoon.
T Faber, who finished the game in the

Gandil singled in turn, the first named

WINTER SPORTING DOPE FROM EVERYWHERE
Federal Officials Are Hurrying East
o-o-h-A Deep Mystery.

reau wants to make himself solid
with the baseball fans he will turn
loose some of his best little sleuths
on the mystery of why the officials
of the Federal League departed so
hurriedly for New York yesterday
afternoon after President Gilmore of
the third circuit had received an i'm
portant looking telegram.
If this deep question is not solved
by tonight we will put LOotey McCue
and Sergt. Delaney to work on the
problem, which means that full ex-
PLANTATION will be had by tomorrow.
Nothing escapes these two gents,
who can catch anything from a street
car to an edition.
: Be that as it may, the only thing
of which any one is certain is that
Gilmore, Weeghman, Walker and
Gates, the latter attorney for the
Feds, hoped the RATHER for Gotham
yesterday, travelling light. Their bag
gage consisted of large wad of coin.
Several rumors are afloat which at
tempt to explain this gum-shoe de-
parture. One is that the powers of
organized ball, which will be infesting
New York nearly all week, have made
proposition to the Feds which in
cludes admitting them to the inner
circle if they will promise to be good
and conform to the> regulations of
the national commission. They would
probably be rated as high-class
minor league.
Another pop-eyed report had it that
Weeghman and Walker would be adj
mitted into the majors, taking over
the Chicago Cubs, from whose own
ership Charles Murphy would be
ousted. This dream sounds like a
morning after headache.
Whatever the outcome of this fly
ing trip, it is reasonable to wager the
family plate that Weeghman and his
associates will not desert the Feds

WoIgast Passes Up C. White for Fight
With Willie Richie.

weight, has been left out in the cold
as a result of the battle arranged be-
tween Ad Wolgast and Lightweight
Champion Willie Richie, to be decid
ed the second week in March in Mil
Waukee.
White was billed to fight WoIgast
in the Cream City Feb. 27, but as
soon as Ritchie accepted a PROPOSE
ton to mix with the Cadillac wonder,
Ad called off his White date, and will
concentrate all his energies toward
getting in shape for crack at the
crown holder.
In making this Richie fight VOL
CAST is showing himself game guy,
willing to gamble on his chances of
success. The promoters have agreed
to give Ad 70 per cent of the gate re-
ceipts. Out of this Wolgast must pay
Richie at least $4,000, the cham
pion having the option of accepting
. so per cent of the gate.
Even under the most satisfactory
conditions, Wolgast can only get 20
per cent of the gate, and he stands a
swell chance of dropping wad of
coin he has picked up in recent fights.
WoIgast's willingness to take a
chance is conclusive evidence that he
believes he can give the. champion a
bang-up battle, with an even chance
of winning. A loss to Ritchie would
not help Wolgast's standing among
ring followers, and he certainly can
not make any large bunch of coin out
of the set-to.
Ad is figuring that he will make
such a good showing against the hero
of the Achilles tendon that he will be
compensated for the money loss he
will suffer. Richie won the title from
Wolgast on a foul, and the Michi-
gander has always asserted he could
reverse matters if given an oppor-
tunity.

Less DeOf6S
From Typhoid
16iS Y e ar

A marked decline in the number 81
eaths in Wisconsin reported from ty-
phoid fever, as compared with 1913, is
one of the features in the quarterly
report of the state board of health.
During the months of April, May and
June, 1914, 1929 deaths were reported
by the various local health registrars
throughout the state. This corresponds
TO an annual death rate of IL. perl, 900
estimated population. Comparing this
rate with the ia per 1000 for 1908;
1872 per /, 900 for 1909; 11.6 per LOCO
for 1910; lit per l, ZOO for 1911; 11,8
per ]. .OOOAfor 1912 and the rate of 11.9
for 1913, it is evident that the rate for
the past three months is no higher than
the average for the preceding 5 years,
which compares fayorably with the
usual mortality rate in Wisconsin at
this season of the year.

The Travers- Wick Chautauqua which
opened in Baraboo Thursday afternoon
is no doubt the greatest company of
entertainers of this kind that have
ever visited the city.
Their tent at the corner of Eighth
and East streets was we'll filled yester-
day afternoon at the opening number
and everyone left with the words Il
am coming again" on their lips.

proval of the people Immediately. The
lecturer of the afternoon was James
Sloane Corkey who spoke on ''Ameri-
ca as an Irishman Sees 1t. " The speaker

lea and also referred to Isome un-
pleasant things of this country. He
was generous in his praise and particu-
larly argued forgreater courage in poll
tics, religion and home life.
In the evening the musical selections
were a rare treat for the large crowd of
people. The number which brought the
greatest applause and in fact
raised some members Of the
audience from their seats was the take
off on the Portage village band" To
say the music was not harmonious
would be letting them off easy for the
braying Of herd of the long-eared
ANIMALS would sound like a siren as
compared with the strains that drifted
from the platform while the Village
band" was playing. The celiphone
selections by Mr.. Winstow Of the Shaw
company were well received by the peo-
pie and he was called on for an encore.

Born of German parentage in Reeds
burg forty-one years ago, he was grad
uated from the Reedsburg high school
and from the University of Wisconsin,
class of '94.
He has been an active supporter of
Senator La Toilette ever since the pro-
gress movement began, and has been un-
firing in laboring in his part of the state
in behalf of progressive principles,
and for candidates who stood
for such principles. During
many of the campaigns he
served as secretary or chairman of the
Sauk county republican committee.
While Mr.. Dithmar has never before
been a candidate for state office, he has
been honored by the republicans of his
county. When only twenty-one years
old he was nominated for clerk of court
of Sauk county and elected by a large
majority. He held this office for three
successive terms and during the last
year of his last term uccessfully pas
sed the state bar examination and upon
the completion of his official duties took
up the practice of law. Some time ago
he took over the abstract business in
Baraboo conducted for years by the late
George Mertens.
Mr.. Dithmar is at present secretary
of the Republican state central commit
tee and for time was the vice-chair-
man of this committee. In the cam
paign of 1912 as secretary and member
of this committee he was very active in
assisting Senator Scott, the chairman,
in bringing about the notable Republi-
can victory and has likewise done effec-
tive work in previous campaigns.
Should Mr.. Dithmar be elected to the
position it will not be necessary for him
to leave Baraboo, but will conduct his
business as before.

Searching for the Cow

Before leaving Baraboo some fresh
milk crank desired to know if
they did not keep cow on
the big boats that the passengers might
have up-to-date lacteal fluid. After we
were we'll on the Atlantic' we started
out to find the COW. We found fine
oranges, but no orange ranch, delicious
cherries, but no orchard, exceptional
peaches, but no trees. Enough brick
ice cream was made in New York to
last the entire trip and so with most of
the other foods. The nearest thing to
a cow was number of milk cans in
the refrigerator and, one of the
cans came out each morning. The
refrigerator giving you anything
fresh almost any time you want it.
