ATLANTIC FLEET
nine WINS 8T0 7
Second Game of Series With Great
Lakes Jackies Captured by
Seamen Team.

Great Lakes, Ill. Aug. 5.-The
Atlantic fleet nine evened up the
series with the Great Lakes jackies
yesterday afternoon when they
captured the second game of the
set by to 7. 1t was a smuggling
match all the way with plenty Of
errors mixed in to add to the I'M
certainty of the fracas. The decid-
ing game was played today at the
Cub park.
The best parts of the game were
the three closing innings. Only one
tally was scored during these ses-
sions and it proved the winner for
the Atlantic fleet. 1t occurred in
the eighth. In this round Maran-
vile singled through second with
one out. Nork hit safely and Gainor
beat out bunt, filling the sacks.
Layne went out, Leonard to Hoff-
man, and Meanwhile scored.
In the early rounds there was run
getting in profusion. In three in
nings the fleet assumed a to l ad-
vantage, but the Great Lakes tore
loose in the fourth and scored five
off Johnson and Miller. This look
ed like enough to win, but the fleet
added three in the fifth, the jackies
tackled on one for a tie score and
then were nosed out in the eighth.
Score: r. e.

Nate Lewis, matchmaker for the
show, Immediately got in touch
with the new aspirant for Jess Will
lard's title and asked him if he
would consent to take on the man
who was unable to stand W against
him for less than a minute. 1t is
not expected that there will be any
hitch in closing the match, and if
it goes through, Tom McMahan, who
was originally scheduled to meet
Dempsey, will box either Jess Will

The arrangements committee will
meet today to draw up the card

FAIR SEX ATTENDANCE FALLS.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-"Attendance on
ladies' day certainly has fallen off
since we entered this war" said
Charles A Comiskey. president of
the Chicago Americans Comiskey
is the originator of the free day for
the fair sex. He declared that
throwing open the gates to the la
dies one day a week was a great
move to stimulate attendance.
when we began admitting the
ladies on Fridays, they enjoyed the
games immensely and soon caught
on. They began scoring the con-
tests, and today the ladies are the
best fans I ever saw. They know
when a player pulls a 'boner' and
they know when to cheer
with the inaugural of the ladies'
day the fair sex made up a big part
of our Friday crowds. But this war
has changed things Many of the
women who came with their hus-
bands. friends or sweethearts are
working to help win the war. Some
Of their male escorts of previous
days are over there or are en-
ployed in some essential work and
are too busy to attend the games
regularly"

A majority OF the players feel
they should be working at some
useful employment on Sept !, how
ever repugnant the idea may be to
them The thought OF being picked
up and dropped into the army is
still more repugnant. Our athletes
are not sure Of where they are at

sounded all right except TO those

 The foreman of the jury. J. L. Cant, in handing the verdict to the clerk, stated that if it were proper, B plea for mercy from the jury went with the verdict. Judge Stanford replied that it would be considered when sentence was passed.
 Berry, who is the driver of a for hire car in front of the Majestic pool hall, was engaged by Hugh Walker, head of the Thiel detectives operating in tlis city at the present time, to drive his party to "Bill Jensen's. He was given s. accord Ing to Walkers testimony, for whis key. When the party was enroute for the road house, Berry is alleged to have turned Walkers attention 10 pocket in the car where liquor was stored.
 The courtroom was rather taken by storm when Katherine Patilla,
 
 called to the stand. The young woman who had been Walkers com panion, caused more than one man a moments uneasiness when she was asked to look over the court room and see if she could recognize any one with whom she had ever had an enlargement such as that with Walker. Slowly her eyes searched the jury and she nodded Q mo-" Every face in the courtroom was searched, not making an exception of the judge, and still she said mo-"
 Reva Stevens then took the stand and afterwards the detectives in whose company the young women we're that night were recalled, the cross examination of the Thiel men bring out the fact that their night at the Tivoli would have convicted Bin Jensen had he not pleaded guilty to the charge of conducting a dis orderly house.
 Walker was asked If it were not true that he was a married man.
 He answered yes. He also said he had five children and tha. his wife knew all the circumstances brought out in the trial.
