Commissioner Landis came down from Chicago to attend the ceremonies and Thomas J. Hickey, president of the American Association, also was to lend his presence to the event.

Ghats With 4*°**? Great OutRex Beach of - Doon wil'MiuffiWHMM By MORRIS ACKERMAN.

"I'd rather hunt bear In Alaska than anything else In the world," waa the answer that Rex Beach gave us to this rather pointed question. "Alaska offers black, brown and grizzly hear. Its brown bear ranks In alas with any in the world. In fact, aa an all-round bear country, Alaska ranks first. On one occasion I shot one of these big brown boys that measured 12 feet from tip to tip. ' "Another time I wss within forty feet of two of them. I had with me an automatic rifle. My guide carried a camera. I looked at the two bears and hnheasitatingiy decided that as far as I was concerned shooting brown bears wasn't in that particular day’s sport My guide snapped a picture.” Big game hunters probnbly will be Interested In the fact that Beach Is very kindly disposed to the lever action rifle. Not only does he favor that particular action but when he goes bunting, especially for Alaskan brown bear he totes a rifle that carries "a terrific shocking power and 250 grains of lead.” "For my second choice In hunting I will take the fast flying duck. As for fishing, give me the brook trout on a fly, those pound or pound-and-a-half bablrs In fast water. "I like all kinds of- fishing but from a sportive standpoint I’d rather catch one nice fast-water brook trout on a fly than five base on a bait rod.” Seldom, indeed, does the average duck hunter have the good fortune to shoot a goose. It rnsy surprise you to kuow that Beach cares comparatively little for goose shooting. "The birds are too big a target,” for one reason, and they are "too fine a bird” for another, he says. "When a fellow shoots a pair of geese he mar be killing off the progenitors who have been mated probably for fifty years, he says. (The next Rex Bench chat will appear la the Saturday Times.)

Notre Dame Pitcher Hurls No-Hit Fray Against Purdueites LAFAYETTE, Ind., May 18—Castner of Notre Dame pitched a no-hit. no-run game against Purdue here Wednesdav, the Irish winning by a 4 to 0 score. The only time the Boilermakers threatened was in the fifth inning when Kane at third bubbled two, putting two Purdueites on base. With second and third occupied and only one out things looked right for a score, but Castner fanned Wallace and Morgan grounded out. The defeat was the first for Purdue in tea starts on the local diamond. Notre Dame has won twice from Lambert's team, defeating the Boilermakers at South Bend, 2 to 1, in a previous contest. Notre Dame scored in two Innings. In tfie fifth one run came across as the result of two singles and a sacrifice. In the eighth throe runs wore scored. Kane's triple brought in two of them and W. Faueett's error accounted for the utto-r. Castner’s support was good, Kelly In centerfleld making two sensational catches off of Eversman, cml Sheehan at short playing aysplendid game. Wallace, pitching for Purdue, was touched for eight hits, including two for extra bases. He funned eight tuea. Camp--I*6l pitched the last inning after Wallace hud been removed for a pinch hitter.

Rickard to Meet Champ at Dock With Contracts; Great Stuff for Public!

BY DAVIS J. WALSH. NEW YORK. May 18.—Jack Dempsey and retinue are coming in the Aquitnnia tomorrow afternoon, and Just to make the business look business like, the eminent Mr. Rickard and Frank Flournoy will be at the doi-k to meet them, with sheafs of official looting paperc protruding from every pocket. The promoters will be present, ostensibly, to sign Dempsey then and there to articles of agreement, calling for him to meet Harry Wills in Montreal. July L and Jess Willard in Jersey City on Labor day. In reality, the y could sit in consort in their Madison Square Garden offices and wait until Dempsey and Jack Kearns pay them a friendly call, for no contract, if one has not already been entered into, will i>e signed on a packing case down at the dock. The parties in question know very well when and where Dempsey is to fight next, nnd they have a pretty fair idea of his projected opponent's identity. If you care to accept our opinion of the matter, he will be Harry Wilis somewhere on Labor day. Willard, an old man who has been out of the ring for three years, is neither a logical nor a sensible opponent, and the proposed July date with Willis is entirely too close at hand to permit of tho build up the occasion demands and warrants.

BIG LEAGUE STUFF

Gomrge Murray, recruit pitcher of the Yankees, relieved Shaw key in the second Inning with the Cleveland Indians leading 4 to 0, shut the Trll e absolutely out the rest of the way and added to the general hilarity by smashing a home run into the bleachers with two on In the second. He ahto hit a triple and confined the Indian attack to three hits. Thus encouraged, the Yanks wop. TtlMe Walker's homer In the thirteenth gave Heimach of the Athletics the decision over Urban 4aIxt of the White Sox in a pitchers* duel. labor fanned thirteen -Mackmen. The Phillies were as helpless as a victim of the strait-jacket against Pete JJonohue, and the Reds won a close game, 1 to 0. Only three hits were made against Pete. Long Cy Williams getting two of them. The Browns were all get to take It on the run for the clubhouse, behind a 3 to 0 lead in the ninth-, when McManus bobbed np with two errors. Before the dust had subsided the Ked Sox had scored four runs and won the game. ■ The Cubs won first of the series with the Braves. Home runs by Hornsby, Toporcer and Smith was one of many features of an 11 to 0 defeat banded the Lodgers by the Cardinals. Babe Ruth and Bob Meuse!, two Yank orphans, will wire Commissioner Landis Friday night for reinstatement, and their official pardon Is expected to arrive Saturday morning. Indications point to the largest attendance in the history of the game as Kenny Williams, Ruth’s home run rival, will be with the opposing Browns. Babe Adams, veteran Pirate pitcher, was to celebrate his 40th birthday today by pitching against the Giants. HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL. Manual, 13; Greencastle, 9. BL Joseph College, 9; Cathedral H.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES

Boxing Commission Rules Aid to Both Pugs and Promoters Will Apply for First Time at May 29 Moose-Legion Show. The new rule* and regulations of the Indianapolis boxing commission are off the press and are effective immediately. They will be applied for the first time at the boxing show to be staged Monday night, May 29, under the auspices of tho Marion County Council, American Legion and the Moose lod~e. In general the rules are similar to those of the Wisconsin commission, accepted all over the country as a model. The rules are Issued in booklet form and any one interested my have a copy. Protection to both boxers and patrons is assured by the rule that will require all clubs holding shows to deposit with the commission, prior to the date of the contest, a certified check to cover tho amounts to be paid boxers for their services. The size of the glove*, size of the ring, and other details Incidental to staging contests are voluminously set forth. Promoters will find a boon In the clause restricting passe®. A limit Is placed upon the number of passes to be Issued by any club holding a show, and a strict accounting of these must be made to the commission. The financial Josses sustained by several clubs that have held shows here since the re-openlng of the game can. It Is said, be attributed almost solely to the great number of people who had succeeded In “crashing the gate.” The boxing commission will name three men to act as referees, and clubs will have the privilege of selecting any one of the three. Boxers coming from out of town will be required to put lu appearance at least three days beforo the contest, and the boxing commission will appoint examining physicians. The rules are fair, comprehensive and admirable. They will serve to place the boxing game on a high plane, and If adhered to will keep It so, effectually forestalling the sort of things that have given It an off color tinge in the past. Indications are that a capnclty crowd will witness the all-star card May 29. Mel Coogan and Joe Welling, lightweights, who are to furnish the maingo, will arrive in town early next week, and complete their training here. Leo Roberts, the Terre Haute welter who will box Bobble Bridges will finish his training here, and Jimmy Dalton and Patsy McMahon, who will provide the semi-wlnd-up, aro both hard at work rounding into fine condition.

RAILBIRDS AT SPEEDWAY GET OODLES OF INTERESTING ACTION AS PILOTS TUNE UP CARS BY BLYTHE HENDRICKS.

With new cars arriving at the Speedway every day, and others already on hand working out at constantly increasing speed, the final twelve days before the 6tart of the big 500-mile race Decoration day promise to be days full of hard work for the racing crews and plenty of Intel est and excitement for the spectators. By the time the elimination trials start next Thursday the Speedway will have assumed all Its old-time atmosphere of pre-race activity. Just when things were moving along the smoothest Wednesday, Howdy Wilcox put on a performance that supplied enough thrills for a whole week. Howdy came out on tho track about the middle of the afternoon, and from the first it appeared he meant business. His blue Peugeot was all dolled up, and he set out to burn up a few laps. After running a lap In 1:30, which is exactly 100 miles an hour, he made some adjustments and then started out again, lie came crashing down the stretch at a terrific rate, completed one lap in 1:31, which is just a shade under ninetynine miles an hour, and was hurtling along ut even a higher rate of speed when, Just as he was passing the pits, a fire burst out alongside the carburetor and in an instant the car looked more like a blazing comet than an automobile. It was fully one-third of a mile before Wilcox could get the machine to a standstill. Then It was found that the fire extinguisher was dead, and haa it not been for the prompt arrival of Nig Shank with a carload of extinguishers and volunteer firemen the results might have been disastrous to the Peugeot hopes. The fire, which was the result of a broken gasoline line, did no serious harm, although both Wilcox and Becker, the mechanician, were burned slightly about the hands while they wero cutting off the gasoline and opening the hood. The line was taped together and Howdy finished the lap at a slow rate and jogged off to headquarters for further repairs and investigation. Net fpn minutes before the fire, ITerberf Browning and Leonard Ford, the first of the English Bentley outfit to arive, reached the track. The tiro occurred directly in front of them and the two Englishmen were among the first to lend first aid. They said that Hawkes, who will drive the Bentley, would arrive with tho car today.

JAKE IN LEAD AT 1,000 MARK Champ Takes First Two Blocks in Title Cue MatchFinal Play Tonight. | BY ED W. SMITH. CHICAGO. May 18.—Behind at the end of the twenty-eight h inning by 285 points, Welker Cochran put up one of those grand finishes In the second block of h ; 8 championship balk line billiards match with Jake Schaeffer and as a rasult of his smashing good run of 159, ♦he contest is now where it was at tha end of the first night’s play. Jake gained a mere matter of two points on Welker and the score now stands 1,000 to 919 in favor of the champion. A mere matter of less than 100 points appears to he nothing between these young fellows and one single break for one or the other will not only even It up but make It mighty perilous for the champion. Just by way of a suggestion and not a prediction at all, we’d say that .Take is playing the steadier and better billiards. Welker shows great stroke and some wonderful billiards in spots but he makes more mistakes than docs Jak“. Easily the feature of the match so far was the run of 159 right at the finish of last night's match. Schaeffer needed four to go, missed and then left a greasy looking shot, covered with oil, that Cochran studied for a bit and then grabbed It off. one of the balls being frozen to the rail at a mighty difficult angie. From this discouraging start he began tha most reckless run of the two nights. At the count of 100 his cue ball was frozen to the other white and it looked like a desperate attempt. But he made it and then continued on to 159 when a short bank shot, but at a difficult angle, forced him to sit down. Then Jake ran wit the necessary four. He will continue tonight in the final block with the bulla in none too good a position. FRUSH AND REISLER BARRED. BATTLE CREEK, Mich..
