IT'S A LOSING GAME
Aye, There's the Rub Case

The brewery machinery for
which Fred Rub, former Joliet sa-
loonkeeper, spent many thousand
dollars in the hope that it would
increase his investment an hun
dred-fold, was sold today at pub
lie auction to the Lincoln Crushed
Stone Company, Patterson road,
for $1,635.
Besides paying out approximate
ly $1,000 in fines and costs Rub
stands to lose an additional $25,-
600 which is represented in the
value of the rural beer plant that
has been confscated by the county.
1t has been estimated that the ma
chinery, supplies and cost OF install
lation and construction for the
"barnyard" brewery amounts to
approximately $25,000.

band the two clubs in parallel lines
marched across the field from the

hush among the fans as the two
clubs faced each other in the held.
The band played Nearer, MY Goa,

stood with uncovered heads. The
band then played the Star Spangled
Banner while the colors were raised
and then brought back to half staff.

Ferguson Will Face
Kramer Today i'm 3rd
Game World Series

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. Sap y
Managers McKechnie of Pittsburgh
and Harris of Washington. said af-
ter the Pirates victory in the second
worlds series game today that they
would continue right handed duels,
at least in the first contest at Wash
ington tomorrow.
Ray Kremer, youthful Pittsburgh
moundsman, will face Alex Fergu-
son, obtained by the Senators from
the New York Yankees, this season,
formerly pitcher for the Boston Red
SoX. The statements of Harris and
Mckechnie upset the dope some
what, as it had been expected that
Emil Yde and Dutch Ruether, two
capable southpaws, would fight out
the third contest.
I'VE are. now one and one" said
Mckechnie after his Pirates had tri-
umphed. II rather expected it and
the superior pitching of Aldridge
could not be denied. He worked
wonderfully in that fifth inning

had been filed. am we'll salts
fed with the teams showing.
IF we start to hit, and the boys
showed a better grip on the bats
today, / expect my men to romp
away with the series. They got to
Covey today. especially Glenn
Wright, who | expect to become one
of the greatest players baseball ever
has known"
Harris stressed the accident which
took his third baseman, Bluege, out
of the game.
There may be slight conclusion.
according to the physicians" the
young manager said. He may be
able to play tomorrow. but 1 doubt
it. If Bluege is unable to play,
Buddy Myer again will be put in
his position.
I'VE had many chances to win
today. Perhaps it was Aldridge's
pitching. and perhaps it was the ner-
vousness of batters. but the fact re-
mains that Pittsburgh Won I will
send Ferguson after tomorrow's
game.
Filling the bases the way we are
we are sure to break through very
shortly and when we do there will
