BILL TO CARDS
Holiday Entertainment Draws Big
CrOwd-SOx Strengthen Hold
on League Flag.

Chicago, Ill, May 31.-Many line
drives to the wall in the morning
and a sturdy defense with timely
blow or two in the afternoon
brought two victories to the mill
tant White Sox yesterday over
Cleveland, their chief rivals as top
liners in the American league
pennant race, yesterday. The
morning combat was won, 4 to L,
and the matinee, to 2. NoV Bill
Gleason's men have such com
mand that they are sure to start
on the long eastern tour in the
lead.
A day that started fearfully
tripIed and the second one dou-
fans because that was about all
the Indians did in the morning and
the Sox won the afternoon fracaS
with a rampant ninth-inning as
sault after the visitors had tied it
in the first half of the same round.
Games Attract $1,000 Fans.
There were plenty of fans pres
ent to enjoy the fun, too. At least
1000 were cut for the morning
contest, and guesses on the mat
inee horde ranged from $4,000 to
25 900. For the latter show the
lower deck of the stand was jam
med with fans, even standing three
deep, the balcony was tWo-thirds
full, the pavilions about the same,
and the bleachers practically filled.
Thrills Snrh QQ one SaaS 0nl q
few times in a season were staged
for the holiday gathering. In the
forenoon the SoX made two triples
and three doubles, besides five sim
giles, and in the afternoon Joe
Jackson executed a catch in left
center that probably was the best
of his career.
Cards Grab Two.
st. Louis, Mo-, May 31.-Com-
pletely tired out after their long
jump back from the east-too tired
to play anything like good base
ball-the Cubs and Cards staged a
holiday double bill yesterday after
noon that was far below major
league class, but which delighted
more than 10000 home folks be-
cause the Cardinals won both
games. Scores, 5 to and 4 to l.
That looks outrageous in the
face of the fact Boss Mitchell
started two of the big fellows on
his slab staff, Alexander and
Douglas, and both were beaten, al
though it took quite a flock OF Card
hurlers to subdue the Cubs in the
first game.

contends that sparring with Jack
would not prevent Harry from
fighting it out on the level some
day, and recalls that Jim Jeffries
was Jim Corbett's sparring partner
for the Fitzsimmons fight in Car
son City.
Challenges for Jack.
Several challenges have been
shipped in by various battlers, and
Kearns wants it known that none
of them needs to wait until after
the bout to fight Dempsey.
They can come out to the camp
and get battle any afternoon" he
asserts.
There will be four preliminaries
to the big fight Ad Thatcher said
this afternoon The gates will open
at g. m. The first prelim will be
put on at IL O'Clock. the second at
noon, the third at O'Clock and the
semi-final shortly after 2 o'clock
The main event is supposed to start

OLD RESIDENT DEAD

Mrs. James B. Tubbs, an old resi-
dent of this city, passed away in
Saginaw Wednesday, November II,
following very critical operation.
Emily Crandall ives born July IL,
1845, in Ontario county, New York.
She was united in marriage to James
b. Tubbs, September l, 1869, and
soon after moved to Michigan. Mr..
and Mrs Tubbs moved to Alma in
September 1885. and about ten years
later moved to their farm six miles
west of the city, where they con-
tinued to make their home.
Mrs Tubbs was the mother of five
children, three of whom, with the
father preceded her in death. Mrs.
Tubbs leaves to mourn her loss one
daughter, Mrs. Lloyd Ellison of AL
ma, and one son, Harry Tubbs, who
lives on the farm vest of this city.
She is also survived by four grand
daughters and four grandsons, and
one brother, who lives in Canaan
daigua, N. Y.
Mrs. Tubbs was a member of the
Alma chapter of the Order of the
Eastern Star, and had been a member
Of that organization for nearly thirty
years.
The funeral services were held
from the farm home Saturday after
noon, November Is, being conducted
by Rev. Gelston of the First Presby-
terian church of this city. Interment
was made in Riverside cemetery.

PURCHASE CAFE
Grand Rapids People Have Secured
Tiffin Cafe of This CITY.

~ anu Rdpius Ieopie nave secured
Tiffin Cafe of This City.
Miss Newman, owner of the Tiffin
cafe, located under the ID. w. Robin
son store on State street, has sold
the cafe to Mr. and Mrs. S. f. Black
aller of Grand Rapids, who have al
ready taken charge of the cafe, and
are preparing to meet the needs of
the travelling public and the many
Alma people who have been securing
their meals there
Mr. andl Mrs. Blackaler have had
a wide experience in this line of bust
ness, and for some time have been
conducting a highly successful cafe
in Grand Rapids. II is their belief
that Alma offers some fine possibili-
ties for real up-to-date cafe, such
as they hope to be able to give to the
people of the city.
Mr.. and Mrs Blackaller are not en-
tire strangers to the people of this
city, as they were in the show bust
ness a number of years ago, and their
company was one that always drew
crowded house here, and they are
certain to be greeted by many old
friends, when it is found that they
have come here with the intention of
giving Alma first class cafe.
Miss Newman, owner and manager
of the cafe, found that her time was
too much taken up with her work at
the Gratiot club cafe, to allow her to
continue in the management of the
Tiffin.
