PORTER RACE MEETING STOPPED BY TROOPS

Gambling Continuing, Indiana Governor Sends Guards- , men to Track. Curfew sounded for horse racing at Mineral Springs, Porter county, Ind., late Wednesday afternoon, when two companies, comprising 100 men, of the Indiana National Guard, in charge of Major George W. Freyermuth, of South Bend, pitched camp in the middle of the track. Major Freyermuth stated that the guardsmen would remain until Governor Ralston was satisfied there would be no further attempts at.racing. The day’s card of six races had juist been run off when the guardsmen were seen approaching. The crowd immediately ran .for the trains, and when the detachment reached the track only a few of the hangers-on were present. Several of the horsemen, fearing that their animals would be confiscated, begun packing up, but they decided to remain after being informed that the soldiers were there only to stop

racing. No attempt was made Wednesday to conceal the fact that open betting .was being dope. Although the track officials were told the soldiers were on their way to the course, they made no effort to put on the “soft pedal” as far as gambling was concerned, the only change being a hurry order to the judges to run the races off as fast as possible. The six events were flnislied at 4:30 o’clock, an hour earlier than usual, and then the management announced that “the sport of kings” was ended in or about Chicago as fat as they were concerned. Ben Hymen, track manager, acted as spokesman for W.. F. Knotts, president of the racing association. He stated that the Porter track would be abandoned and that the Mineral Springs Jockey Club would go out of existence for all tlme A He attacked the stand taken by the _ M IVtnn

Indiana governor as "worse than anything ever pulled off in Mexico,’ and declared this country was traveling under an assumed name when it posed as a free nation. “We are not harming anyone,” said Hymen, “and I am satisfied we are not violating the law despite the fact that Governor , Ralston says open gambling is being carried on here. The people hate shown that they want racing by the manner In which they have attended this meeting, and I was always of

Will Ask Government to Buy Kankakee Swamp Land.

Fort Wayne, Ind., Aug. 25 —The effort of the Indiana Fish and Game commission to induce the United States government to purchase a strip of land, two miles wide and twenty miles in length on either side of the river in the Kankakee marsh in Laporte, Porter, Jasper and Lake counties, is to be considered by congress at the session that starts next December and deputy game warden Captain Fleming is ,now engaged in getting together data to suppoH the bill. Congressman Cyrus Cline, of the Twelfth district, and the representatives of other northern Indiana districts are in favor of the measure and it will probably be introduced by the former. The government has established five years protection for the wood duck and the section that the commission is asking for a permanent preserve is one of the greatest breeding grounds for this species of birds in the country. There was also pasesd a year ago a law protecting migratory water fowl, and the marsh is alive with these birds each spring and fall. The tract is practically valueless for agricultural purposes as jt sow is and it could be obtained for a few dollars an acre. Should congress refuse to make the appropriation, the commission will appeal to t}ie Indiana state legislature to make the purchaser.

the opinion that the people were supposed to have their own way in the United States. Anyway, the calling of the National Guard is good practice for the soldiers in case they are called to Mexico.” Despite Mr. Hymen’s statements, open gambling was carried on at the track Wednesday and every other day during the meeting just stopped and the fifteen-day session run off last month. A reporter for The Record-Herald made a bet on every race run Wednesday, and the bookmakers made no effort at concealment. In case a bet was won the money was paid openly, and the sheriff and his deputies, who were preperrt, made no objections. H-

Tom Clark, a price quoter for the book, which is said to have been operated by employes of the track owners, when asked if he was not afraid of being arrested for accepting bets, replied that things were "all set” and that the only bookmakers bothered were those ‘not working for the management. By this he meant the Chicago hand-book-makers not under the wing of Mont Tennes, who is supposed to be the man "behind the money” at Mineral Springs. • ‘

CLUSTER OF ERRORS GAVE MONON GAME

Seven Misplays in Rapid Succession Gave Monon Seven Runs in One Frame Wednesday. With a fine game in prospect and Pitchers Clark and Schultz working in rare form, the Athletics went all to pieces in the first of the gala week contests at Monon Wednesday and in a comedy of errors presented the Monon team with the game. After each side had been blanked in the first and one Monon hand was down in the second, Swartzell and Parks collided in an effort to get a short fly and the inevitable result followed, the- hall fell to the ground. Captain Wilcox celebrated his first chance in the field by dropping the next fly and the contagion then extended to “Trusty” Joe Elder in the left garden and he dropped one. This filled the bases and the infield crowded up close to try to cut off a man at the plate, hut a grounder went through Morgan’s legs and Eldridge, Mfcho stopped the ball, heaved it to the backstop. Everything went wrong at this juncture and seven Mononites crossed the pan before the curtain went down on the act. Two more were added a little later, but of the nine Monon made only one was earned. The locals put Eldridge over in the fourth inning. He hit safely, stole second and romped home when' Pitcher Schultz used all his steam trying to catch 'him off second apd sent the ball through the second baseman and the center fielder.

The game was enlivened by some spectacular playing, in which Virgil Rolbinson, who replaced Morgan at third, after the latter had suffered a slight injury, starred. “Buck” made up for his absence from one or two games by some brilliant flelding, and the Monon fans helped to cheer him. “Dad” Swartzell made several good plays at first, while Harold Clark, who replaced Elder in left field, made three catches in deep left. A peculiar argument occurred in the progress of the game which was really a pleasantry except for the action of an imitation Constable Plum, who w&ded in to exhibit his authority. With a reputation of having whipped his wife a time or two he was feelirig his tfn star authority like a gelding does oats. He put his mildewed face into the argument and it took some time to make it understood that back of the bran in the mildew and be neath his tousled hair there was sufficient intellect to pin on a badge. It is really a pity that a good town with so many nice people has to be afflicted with a constable who wears his brains in a pair of congress shoes, and who can’t tell a friendly argument from a freeJor-all fight. The pity is his, the disgrace is in the village. The ball game was umpired by “Spike” Wilson, of Wanatah, and he is an able and fair official. Friday 'Monon will play Delphi and some contest is expected, as both teams are loaded to the teeth.

ALL STARS TO MEET ATHLETICS SUNDAY

Chicago Team With a Reputation to Meet Locals at Riverside Athletic Park. The Athletics have a good card for next Sunday, when the Chicago All-Stars, a team claiming to have won second place in the Chicago city league last year, will be- here to contest with the locals. Ever since the Chicago Cattlemen were here several weeks ago there has been great anxiety on the part of fans to witness a good game with a capable bunch of ball players from the city, and Manager Kiplinger instructed Secretary Tuteur to find such a game, even if it cost twice as much as it does to have lockl teams. The All-Stars are regarded one of the excellent teams of the city and Rensselaer may expect to see a fine game. The game will he ,called as near 2:30 as possible, so that thk visitors will be able to change their clothing and get away on the 6:02 train that evening. •k . The Lincoln Chautauqua begins next Wednesday. Thtf splendid program should attract big audiences throughout the session. It is a. high class Chautauqua, the lectures, sermons, musical numbers and all being worthy the time of any person to hear. Country people and’ those residing in near-ihy towns should come to Rensselaer during the period of the Chautauqua and we believe all will .say that it is in every way an entertainment worth the cost.

Rensselaer May Have Free Delivery of Mail Established. —:— Free delivery of mail as an experiment has been tried in several cities little larger than Rensselaer ana has proven so satisfactory that the experiment is to be extended and several Indiana cities of this class will be selected for the experiments. Rensselaer may be one of them if an application is made. Last year congress appropriated SIOO,OOO for trying out deliveries in small towns. If Rensselaer should be selected one or two carriers would be used and there would probably be two deliveries each day, and mall collections would be made at the same time. The department will select the towns within the coming month. First Baptist Ghureh. Sunday .School at 9:30 a. m. Evening service 7:30 p. m. We hope to welcome you to these services. R. B.
