neighborhood of $25.G0 in postal mon

From all indications the men expect
cd large haul when they entered the
place, being of the opinion that the

money in the safe following their Sat

A North Ottawa young man, on the

grocery store Of Bulgcr 4 Koenig at
Sycamore and West Lafayette streets
and secured candy. oranges, apples
and tobacco, to the value ot IS, This
morning all OF the youngsters were
arraigned in police court and con-
fessed their parts in the robbery.
Joseph Haage, the Oldest Of the
gang, is said to be the master mind,
a1d he will be held by the police on Il
charge of larceny. as it is his second
offense llaagc admits that he was
first to enter the place, gaining on

screen and then dropping over the

lads to enter the store. Officers
Sheehan and Butterfeld rounded up "a
gang of youngsters last evening.
Young Haage was in the crowd, ana
with his arrest came the confession OF
the robheries.
On March 10, Wrt Of tho same
crowd are alleged To have entered the
store. The youths are said to have
gained entrance by pushing open a
door.
The boys, with the exception OF
young Haage will be uarolcd to their
parents, aud in the event that they
are again arrested on any charge, they
will be sentenced to Pontiac,
The question of the robbery can be
blamed to the neglect Of the parents
The boys probably entered the place

Chicago, Det. 5.-Excitement over
the lingering expectation of world s
series rose to its topmost peak here
today The White Sox and Giants laid
off and that may account for the fact
that the weather man started off the
day with the most encouraging bit of
sunshine he has yet served up. Real
weather may be looked for at the open
ing of the games tomorrow.
The Giants and White Sox both took
advantage of the day. They stayed in
their hotels until late thinking it over.
White Sox reported at the playing field
at 10 O'Clock and went over the usual
program of telling each other how it
should be done. They an made visit
yesterday to Cubs field, where the Gil,
ants laid down their young lives be-
fore the suddenly ferocious Cubs, The
unanimous opinion after the third in
ming was that the giants were not
worth losing any afternoon S worrying
about, or else the game was rotten,
for every member of the Chicago team
left early. ,..-
Giants Full of Pep. -.
The Giants, however, have other be-
liefs. They are on their toes with more
pep than they shown in days and
days, for they are just going into the
big affair after short period of con-
ditioning.
There is no use attempting to pass
lightly over the presence of Charley
Herzog with the National league cham
pions. The fiery Marylander adds zip
to the Giant infield, not only in the
field, but on the bench. The pep that
showed itself while Gthe Cubs were
mauling the daylights out of the New
Workers was surprising, even to the
White Sox. Their playing was ragged,
but their intentions were of champion
ship caliber.
John McGraw declared here there
would be no protest against Eddie Ci-
cote s delivery.
