CQUL0N IS MATCHER AGAIN. The match that has been pending between Johnny Coulon and Tommy Scully was clined yesterday afternoon and the two bantans wll clash in a 10round bout before the Cubs Athletic club of Waukegan on April 29. The boys got together yesterday and settled the weight question, agreeing to meet at 108 pounds at the ringside. A side bet of $300 will go to the winner. In the semi-windup Johnny's younger brother, George, will meet Kid Jack
son of the stock yards in a six-round
affair.
PURDUE LEADS ROSE BY 1 RUN,
Lafayette, Ind., April 17. Alone run in the first inning gave the Purdue baseball team victory this afternoon
over Rose Polytechnic by the score of
1 to 0. Rice of Purdue was impreg
nable, except in the eighth inning, when he filled the bases, Tragessor's long drive to center field scored Purdue's
run.

THE MIGHTY RUBE COMES INTO HIS OWN.
"Rube" Waddell came within a breath of landing a no-hit game yesterday afternoon at the South Side ball park, where the St. Louis Browns coated the White Sox with a 1 to 0 count. It was only by dint of the most valiant effort that the ex-champs were able to group together one scratch wallop. If Ferris hadn't tried to take a hard chance and let Wrallace gather in Atz's keen poke "Rube" would have scurried away with the feat. As it was the eccentric twirler showed that he still has it in him.
NEW TEAM ORGANIZED.
A new baseball team has been organized in South Chicago under the name of the "Sporting World's." It is composed of a very strong lineup and all the players are well fitted for their positions. They want games with any
team between the ages of 14 and 15 years. Address all games to Charles Sugrue, 8841 Saginaw avenue. The
lineup of the team follows: George Todhunter, catcher. Henry Malloney, pitcher. Edward Costello, first base. Patrick Brogan, second base. Charles Devaney, shortstop. John McCue, third base. Patrick Nevills. left field. Charles Duggan, center field. William Mulligan, right field.
SACKCLOTH AND ASHES IN CINCINNATI. Cincinnati, O., April 17. Cincinnati mourns. "Our Boys" suffered the third straight walloping at the hands of the real champions today and tonight the Cubs left the Bush League for the Anheuser Busch League with three Red ecalps dangling from their belts. It was sad to rub it in on Cincinnati, but we had to do it, and the Cubs, although outplayed in a score of spots and pitched almost to death, were versatile enough to score a run, beating the Reds 1 to 0 in the first real battle they have enjoyed this season.
SUCKERS BEAT THE BADGERS. Madison, Wis., April 17. University of Illinois defeated Wisconsin in the opening game of the Intercollegiate baseball season here today by a score of 13 to 3. The game was a joyful swatfest for the visitors who amassed a total of seventeen hits off Knight and Johns. Henrichsen took up the burden
in the box for Illinois, but while he was hit safely only four times in five innings, his liberality In awarding six bases on balls gave Penn a chance, although the game had been practically clinched by Huff's pupils in the first Inlng, when six visitors streamed across the home plate. Snyder of the opposition corralled four safe ones.
MAROONS TO OPEN BOXING CLUB. Waukegan. III., April 17. The Maroon Athletic club will hold its first large boxing show here on April 23 with the following card: Martin Peterof Chicago at 124 pounds, Jeff O'Conon of Waukegan and Harry Sullivan nell of England and Pete Svoy of Chicago at 124 pounds and Danny Goodman of Chicago and Walter Duney of Chicago at 122 pounds.
PUGILIST BITTEN BY MAD DOG. Columbus, O., April 17. "Kid" West, a local pugilist, is on the way to the Chicago Pasteur Institute, to be treated for a dog bite in his arm and leg. He was training a buldog for a fight and the animal bit him on the arm and leg. Ohio State university professors examined the brain of the animal and Bay that it was suffering from hydrophobia.

The policemen's ball at East Chicago which is to be held Thursday evening, April 23, promises to be one of the greatest social events this . city has ever known. It has been decided to make it a charity ball as well as a benefit for the policemen, and every dollar it
yields outside of the sum needed to defray the expenses Incident to its original purpose, namely, the purchase
of new uniforms for the officers, will be distributed among the poor. Hundreds of tickets have been sold and
the success of th event was long since established.
The ball will not be an East Chicago
event solely, by any manner of means. The East Chicago police force em
braces of course the officers from Indiana Harbor and the ball will moreover take place at the Harbor, the Auditorium being the hall chosen for
the event. But besides the friends in
the twin cities there will be many
guests from outside towns, notably Hammond nd Gary.
Although the time for the ball Is so
near all the details have not yet been
completed. There is to be a grand
march, most likely to be led by Chief Higgins, and suitable refreshments will be served.
Something About the Police Force. In view of the impending festivi
ties which bring the members of the police force, always in the spotlight more or less, so much more conspicuously under the public eye, it might
be of interest to give a brief account
of the character of the present force, its
achievements and is personnel.
At present it is composed of fourteen
good men and true In addition to its
own brave cnier, JU. r. iiiggins. unier Higgins took his office a year ago last
September and it is no exaggeration of the worth of this gallant officer to
say that never before his regime, has the force attained such a degree of excellence as characterizes it today.
Chief Higgins, until he received his present appointment, had n experience as a sleuth. His had been a business career. And while he adapted himself
to his new duties in a surprisingly short time, he brought to it a knowl
edge of business and system without which no branch of civic government
can accomplish good results. Keeps Track of Cases.
Up to his taking hold there had been but an intermittent attempt to keep
up the police records. With the ad
vent of his administration, however,
this omission was rectified and for the entire period that it covers, there is a record of every case handled by the
department. This will prove invalu
able, indeed, it has already proven of
immense value on frequent occasions.
And its value will Increase as time goes on In the tracing of criminals and
for court purposes in cases of" acci
dents, for identification purposes and
other reasons too numerous to mention. Previously the plan of sufficient unto each day is the evil thereof, was adopted, and the cases handled by the police were dropped With their discharge or conviction in court. But while Chief Higgins is comparatively new to the business, he has surrounded himself with experienced officers, for the most part. The chief recognized the necessity of having men on the outside who were no novices to their calling. While he made a number of appointments, upon taking office, he saw to it that in the majority of instances the men be put in had had experience as police ofgeers at some time previously. There are two desk sergeants, John Qulnlan at Indiana Harbor, and Charles
Bowen at the East Chicago station
Both men have a long experience and
praiseworthy career to their credit
The patrolmen are as follows: In
East Chicago, William H. Mudles, Myer
Rybecki, Mike Kula, John Marner,
John Thompson and Mike Gorman. In
Indiana Harbor: Nick Vuksanovich,
John Ford, Thomas Tweedal, John
Wifenbach, John Lozazarks, Barney
Genanunskl.
The most important engagement in
which the local force was concerned
since it was organized under Chie
liiggms, occurred about a year ago when twenty arrests were made during a riot that occurred in connection with
a strike which took place at the Re public and Interstate mills.
Tijese arrests were made by only
four officers who In making them were
forced to charge a mob of several
hundred infuriated workmen.
Crime Is Less. During the service of the presen
force the proportion of crime has been
less in comparison with the popula tion than ever before. Since Chie
Higgins took hold, however, there have been murders, two of the murderers
having been arrested while on escaped. One of the guilty ones committed suicide a short time ago while the other who was arrested is serving a life sentence in the state penitentiary at Michigan City. Since the beginning of the current year the arrests have been as follows: For January, 26; February, 29; March, 20. The force has been working under some difficulty owing to its present cramped quarters. The men, however, are looking forward to the time when the city hall will be completed, where ample provision has been made for their accommodation.

At the spring meeting of the Presbytery of Logansport, to which Hammond belongs, at Brookston which was held this week, the following officers were elected: Moderator Rev. Henry B. Hostetter, of South Bend. Slated clerk Rev. F. H. Magill, of Goodland. The following delegates were elected to the general assembly which meets at Kansas City on May 21: Rev. F. N. McGill, of Brookston; Rev. I. M. Houser, of Indianapolis; John C. Vanatta. of Brookston, and II. C. Johnson, of Montlcello. Business relating to the work of more than fifty churches was transacted. One notable feature of the work is that that all churches are supplied with ministers. Important action was taken relative to the establishment of the work in Lake county regions, especially Gary. The Rev. Mr. Hamilton, who has Just closed a successful pastorate at Grand Rapids, was appointed to that charge.
NOTICE TO KNIGHTS TEMPLAR. All members of Hammond Commandery No 41, K.

lie counted nine small craft, each
holding five or six men or men and
women. At tne distance, nearly tnree miles, he could not be certain whether or not they all wore the distinguishing
headdress of feathers. Against wind and current they could not possibly reach the ship under half an hour, and
the smallness of the fleet surprised him.
The news that the Indians were ad
vancing ran through the ship like wild
fire. Including Mr. Boyle, Frascuelo and those among the Chileans whose
wounds were not serious, there were
fourteen men available for the defense. Unfortunately the supply of firearms was Inadequate. A shotgun
and five revolvers constituted the armory, and one of the pistols was inChristobal's pocket The supply of ammunition was so small that the revolvers could not be reloaded more
than three times, but Courtenay had 200 shot cartridges, and against naked
men an ounce of shot is far more effective than a bullet
The captain hoped to terrify the In
dians before they attempted to scale
the ship's sides. If various ruses fail
ed and the attack was pressed, he had decided not to split up his small force
In the effort to repel boarders. A scat
tered resistance would surely break down at one point or another; there would be a rush of savages along the
decks, a panic among the Chileans, and
all would be ended. On the other hand.
when fighting collectively under European leadership and well aware that the Indians would kill and spare not, the half breeds might be trusted to ac
quit themselves like men. The canvas awning constituted i flimsy citadel in the center of the ves
sel. Six men were stationed on the starboard side of the promenade deck and six on the port side. Tollemache and a Chilean who said he could shoot
well were told to frustrate any at
tempt to climb, the after part of the
ship, while Courtenay, with his fowl
ing piece, would have the lion's share
of this work from the spar deck, as he
undertook to keep the rails clear for
ward and help the revolver practice If necessary. With him was Suarez, who
knew what was expected or him, so
the language difficulty offered no apparent hindrance once the fight began. Finally, if the Indians made good their footing, the defenders were to rally to
ward the salon companion, where
steam jets were ready to spurt with
ering blasts along the corridors.
It was a good plan and might have kept at bay an enemy of higher valor than the Alaculofs, provided they were
not armed with rifles. Against mod
ern weapons of long range nothing could be done. If Suarez did not exag
gerate, therein lay the real danger.
Courtenay wished to make sure at the
outset of the number of guns carried by the savages. It was also important to know whether their marksmen were distributed or crowded together In one or two canoes. If the latter, he would
give those warriors his special atten
tion.
His binocular glasses were not strong enough, so he walked back toward the
chart house to procure a telescope,
Catching Joey under his left arm, he
climbed the short ladder leading to
the spar deck and pulled it up after
him, the bolts having been already re
moved to permit of that being done.
Walker was screwing tight the door
of the engine room in order to safeguard the fireman In attendance on tha
donkey boiler. Now that the screw
driving was actually in operation it very unpleasantly reminded Courtenay
of the fastening of a coffin lid. Nei
ther Walker nor the man inside could
guess the grewsome notion which held
the captain in Its chilly grip for an in
stant. Indeed, the engineer looked up
with a grin.
"I suppose It's twue, sir, the-airs
coin' to be a fight?" he asked.
"There's a fair chance of one, Wal
ker." Walker winked suggestively.
"That chap inside thinks he's out of It," he said, "so that's all wight." An
energetic turn of the screwdriver signi
fied that the man from Newcastle held the opposite view. Much as he loved his engines, be preferred to be on deck
when the trouble came,
It happened that during this slight
delay Courtenay glanced at the north ern headland, which Elsie had Christ
cned Cape Templar owing to the some
what remarkable profile of a knight la armor offered by its seaward crags. Possibly had he gone straight to the chart house he might not have noticed a signal fire which was in full blast on the summit of the cliff. It had not been many minutes in existence, and it struck him at once that it was a vehicle of communication between the savages in the approaching canoes and others, yet invisible, who were expected to share in the attack. He was quick to perceive how seriously this new peril affected his calculations. By the time the nine canoes he had counted were alongside the ship there might be dozens of others ready to help them. He leaned over the rail. . "Did you test those flexible pipes thla

morning?" he inquired. "Yes, sir, they aw in fine condition, said Walker. "Try them again, will you? I want to make sure. Our lives may depend on them very soon." He saw Soarez watching the oncoming canoes. By a touch on the shoulder he called the man's attention to the smoke signal on Cape Templar. A voluble and perfervid explanation In Spanish was useless. Here arose the unforeseen need of an interpreter. Without troubling to analyze his feelings Courtenay was glad of the excuse which presented itself of obtaining a
momentary glimpse of Elsie. "Bring the senorita," he said, and Elsie, wondering why she had been summoned from the salon, ran up the bridge companion. Her face was aglow with excitement, her heart going pitapat She hoped that Courtenay meant to keep her near him during the fight She almost doubted Christobal's statement that the captain had given specific orders that she was to remain in the salon. It was one thing that she should wish to avoid him, but why should he wish to avoid her? ITo be Continued.
