| WHAT THEY THINK OF CHICAGO
IN MENDOZA
The following story, reprinted from
the Mendoza, H., Bulletin, shows
what one of the dOwnstate papers
thinks of Chicago As a Summer Re-
Sort"
"Chief of Police Beckett went to
Chicago on Friday accompanied by
Mr.. Edgar Snyder. Their mission
was to bring the men who stole Mr..
Snyder's auto to Mendoza for trial
The states attorney and several de-
tectives thought they could get the
men for Mr.. Beckett. but saw trouble
ahead. The case had been called
for 9:3O-a. m. and Mr.. Beckett had
been notified to come. He was there,
but the men had their lawyers and
the judge was in sympathy with the
men and told our chief of. police he
had no evidence which was sufficient
to hold these men. The judge post
poned the hearing and the men were
given bail A few minutes later af-
ter the men had hurried from the
building the Judge abruptly dismissed
the case. That is Chicago justice to
officials in outside cities.
''Mr. Beckett and Mr.. Snyder
thought it advisable to bring the auto
home, for this might be spirited away
and lost forever. The car is not in
the best condition and the insurance
company will give this proper con-
sideration."

G0rizia

From the Westminster Gazette.
 Gorizia, which the Italians hope to take. was for centuries the capital of 'ooun- ty' held in lief from the holy Roman empire, which eventually reverted to the overlord, and at present possesses for '.count" no less a parsonage than Elm peror Francis Joseph. By some perversity this town, connected from time imnle- morial with Germanic powers and a fav- orite Austrian winter resort, has prac- tically no Teutonic clement among the inhabitants most of whom are neither Germans nor Italians, but Siavs. Goriza has rather pathetic link with France. Here in 1886 died the exiled Bourbon king. Charles x the last French monarch who was crowned with chrism in the ruined cathedral of Rheims.

Big Early Day Affair.
Perhaps the best series Of all early

fashion

between the Brooklyn club and the
Louisville team. champions OF the Ma

winners OF the Players league the Bos-

regarded as outlaws, so the other law
abiding organizations ignored them en-

From the year 1882 until 1897 10 PeRl
worlds series games took place. Tits
were held between the winners OF tbs
first and second seasons OF the big IL
club National league, but they lacked
the intense rivalry which exists today.
For six years the fans OF the country
had to be satisfied with watching the
annual struggle between the first and
second contenders for the flag in their
respective leagues. In the year 1903 the
first big battle was staged for the
worlds championship honOrs IN base

event in the great national game has
grown steadily.

When Warner took charge Of the SQUAD
this fall twas whispered around among the
youths that he was a very stern taskmaster;
that he was in the habit OF busting the
skulls OF those whose acts didn't please him.

who fumbled punts.

But Warner right now is the idol OF the

real human being. and not a slave driver as
