Mgr., Chicag '<) GREENS LOSE TO TOPPEL WITH ASSISTANCE OF COSTLY,ER­ RORS CHICAGOIAN6 WiN. McHenry tiraeai Face Strung Chic«(n Topp«lln With Crippled Tettnt . mrw Benton by Narrow Haifln, The S. Toppell team of Gbicago met Hie Greens on the local diamond Is®} Snnday and defeated them after an ex­ citing nine Inning rally on the part of the Greens. The Chicagoians were * vrell selected bunch, playing a snappy game of base ball. Although at a great loss by not having Gibbs and Buss in the game, the Greens gave the strong windy city club more of a task than 'they bad really expected. The visiting team walked out into the field with sin­ cere confidence of winning the game and did not intend to exert themselves either, but before the game had been ^finished they were forced to play the hardest kind of ball to keep from losing the contest. As it was they won out by a narrow margin of 6 to 5. . The Toppels had all their runs before the Greens hfid started to count and the situation up until the sixth itraint^ looked anything but bright for Mc-1 Hairy, The Chicago boys Started their scoring i» the second inning when two free passes to first couplet! with a pair .of errors ami a single netted them two runs. There was nothing doing for them in the third'and foutth innings, bat the fifth proved their lucky 'one. A. Koepke, the first nian to face Bend­ ing in this inning was safe at first when Waite dropped his fly. C. Koepke singled, advancing the fdrmer, Bien came in with another single which scored A. Koepke. Wilke, picking ont a good stick slammed the ball into a safe field and the two runners who had proceeded him at bat trotted over the home plate. F. Koepke flew oat to Heiiner. Dplfardy singled and Wilke registered for the fourth tally. With one dead and one man on first it looked as if there was still worse to come for McHenry, but the inning was quickly brought to a «lose when Richert sent a hot grounder to Day is, who fielded. the ball nicely, passing it to Heimer, the latter doubling the base runner at first, who had tried to reach ttie second sta­ tion when the batter hit. After the sixth inning the visitors were never dangerous, being Bhnt out with ease. The Green's scoring did not com­ mence until after the visitors had ceased, the first pair of tallieB coming in the sixth inning, .through Davis' three bagger, a double by Bending and Hun­ ter "h single. There was no more run- getting after this until the ninth. The ninth was opened by Evanson with a neat hit for an extra sack, this was fol­ lowed by Heimer's single, Evanson go­ ing to third on the deal. Farrell hit safely, scoring Evanson. .ThurlwelF could not connect and was retired on strikes. Waite was ont at first on an easy grounder to the pitcher. With two men on bases and two oats, Davis walked up to the plate with an inviting expression upon his countenance. He pat the ball to the tall and uncut for three sacks which cleared the bases. At this stage of the game thing? began to look quite serious and We are ashamed to tell it, but the Chicagoians were really sweating under their collars. Schreiaer, the next man at bat was given free transportation to first and it was left to Bending to do the stunt. Bending was the man who was mostly feared fey Chicago and with the hearty assistance of the umpire he was hand­ ed the most unfair dealing of the day. He had fouled one ball which had been delivered him by the pitcher and the next, which was too high to reach with three bats coupled together was also called a strike. Davis, who was still at third waiting for a hit by Bending, saw at once that there was no hope left for Bending and quicker than it takes to tell it made a mad rush for home plate. The ball had been passed to the catcher from the third baseman and the two rolled oveiy home plate in a heap. Everybody thought Davis safe, the Chi­ cago umpire himself could not make a decision until after Schreiner, who had been forgotten, rnshed over the plate with the telling run. The very minute the runnier had crossed the home plate the umpire decided that Davis was out. The following is the tabulated score. THE SCORE feated some of the best Chicago ama­ teur teams and will keep the Greens -working hard all the time, The locals will next Sunday present their strong line-npand expect with good luck to win the contest Game called prompt­ ly at, 3:80.

Too much care cannot be used with small childrep during the hot weather of summer months to guard against bowel troubles. As a rale it is only neces­ sary to give the child a dose of castor oil to correct any disorder of the bowels. Do not use any substitute, but give the old-fashioned castor oil, and see that it is fresh, as rancid oil nauseates and has a tendency to gripe. If this does not check the bowels give Chamber­ lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and then a dose of castor oil, and the disease may be checked fn its incipiency and all danger avoided. The castor oils and this remedy should be procured at once and kept ready for instant use as soon as the first indica­ tion of any bowel trouble appears. This is the most successful treatment known and may be reled upon with im­ plicit confidence even in cases of cholera, infantum. For sale by all drugists. wai Build a Boat. Capt. Walker informs us that next spring he will launch one of the finest boats on Fox river that has ever floated its waters. The boat will be designed by E. Hunter and will be first-class in every respect. It will be fitted up with all modern conveniences, including electric lights and a piano. The boat will cost $5,000 and will make trips to and from Pistakee Bay and Fox Lake. Mr. Walker, who has for the past two seasons run the boat "Navigator" on the river, is building np for himself a nice business, to which he is Justly en­ titled. He is a first-class sea captain and what he does not understand about boats and gasoline engines is not worth knowing. His patrons find in him one of the most careful as well as acom mo- dating captains that they have ever had the pleasure of riding with. We wish Capt. Walker further success in his ventans and hope to see him in one of the neatest boats of the take regioq by next spring. A Touching Story is the saving from death, of the -baby girl of Geo.
