Sport Chatter
BY The onlooker.

Moran's Cincinnati Reds seem to
have the edge on the pitching staff
but the uncertainty of the game is
what makes world series a standing
room only" attraction.
And don't bet your money too freely
on the Watson Glass House game for
neither team has the old rag cincheo
by long way yet.
And If left hand twirler pitches
against the Watson Building things
might take another course, too.
From street talk, the B. & o. will
have to run special to Pittsburgh
on October II to carry the Fairmont
fans to the big W. v. U.-Pitt game.
Gilmore is a good pitcher and show
ed last night that he was a good
quitter-but if you or were pitching
and instead of having the one run
they earned, the opposing team had
eleven runs, we might throw in the
sponge too.
But when a watsonite had cleaned
up the bases with a three base hit, he
should have at least thrown the final
ball to retire the side.
Watching Gail Boice play short stop
reminds some Of the good baseball he
used to play.
Even in Philadelphia they're talking
about the big world series. Philly
fans are pulling for Pat Moran and
Athletic Bugs are working for Eddie
Collins.
Kingmont fans claim they are going
to trim Monongah Sunday at Traction
park and declare they will not back
down the spout and cancel the game.

Mount Clemens. Mich, May 90
Whether the million dollar libel suit

Tribune, now In its second week, will
be wound up soon or will extend into

the action Judge Tucker takes on

The jury has been excused until to-
morrow but it is not certain whether

The defense asked that the case be
thrown wide open with no bounds on
their testimony. They contended their
testimony must not be limited because
of the many Incidents that led up to

1t was a year of progress for the
diocese of Kansas that Bishop Wise
repoxted in his annual address Sunday
afternoon before the convention dele

has been largely outside of Topeka

Lux was very much surprised when
he learned that Crane street was not

His proposition is to declare Crane

VIII Take Park Land.
According TO Commissioner Hancock
there is no reason why this should not
be done. The only difference will be
that it will necessitate chopping some
more land off the City park property.
At present the street is about thirty
feet wide. In order to offer sufficient
accommodation for the large amount
of tonnage to be hauled on this street
it will be necessary to construct Il
larger avenue Hancock believes
thirty feet more taken off the park,
making Crane street sixty feet wide,
would be sufficient to provide the re-
quired space. Whether the railroad
siding will be constructed on part of
| this extra thirty feet, or whether
more space will be required to put in
the siding is not known at present.
In all probability the commissioners
will vote to declare Crane street reg
