The return of 2,450 miles is to be made In sixty days for a wager of $1,000. ' ONCE RUDOLPH'S PARTNER. Julius Kessler of South Chicago, who is well known through sporting circles. has started training for his favorite pastime, wrestling and is getting in form to meet some of the minor men in that line. Mr. Kessler or "The Terrible Board" as he is known on the East Side, at one time was sparring partner of Rudolph Unholz, the Boar fighter, and is no slouch when it comes to box ing. Last week Kessler met some of the best wrestlers on the East Side and threw them with such ease that his backers believe that he is In line for some kind of a championship. Kessler is 24 years old, five feet ten Inches in height and weighs 190 pounds, is a German in every sense of the word and Is proud of it, the big German gets out every morning and after taking a three mile Jog toots back to his train ing quarters where he is given a rub down by one of his admirers. Another feat of Kessler's Is lifting heavy weights with his teeth, yesterday on exhibition, he lifted over two hundred pounds which is no small feat. He has had several offers to go on the road with different , shows but has refused them all. " FOXY GETS A JOB. "Foxy" Shoemaker, late of the Pullman Car works, has accepted a position with G. A. Dias, 93rd: street and Wash ington avenue, Stony Island. The Stony Island base ball team Is glad to have Mr. Shoemaker in their midst as he Is an ex-minor player, has played in some of the best teams of the coun

X f . rL ' 11 kltrocK try and is a second baseman and pitcher, the latter of which. he specializes. It was In the early 90's when he made the greatest strikeout record in J Northern Indiana base ball circles. His home at that time was at Claypool, Ind., and on a vacation to his parents accompanied the local team to Burkett, Ind., and. let the. team down with one hit and nineteen strikeouts, winning the game by a score of 5 to 0. Mr. Shoemaker is aging rapidly at the present time being in his 40s, but one would scarcely believe it, as he is nimble and quite fleet -on foot. He is also a sprinter of some note and his friends can yet recall his famous sprint from Burkett. Ind., to Claypool, Ind., In' his base ball uniform on a wager when he made the 100. yard dash in 10 1-5 seconds. ANOTHER NEW ATHLETIC CLUB. The East Side will soon have another athletic club which will' be a strong rival to the East Side Athletic club, the present club. The organization will be prefected by Martin Krieps, 10316 Indianapolis avenue, who is well known through the East-Side, having at one time played professional ball on an eastern league team, its the intention of Mr. Krieps to organize a club for the purpose of promoting wrestling bouts and boxing matches; the latter which will be kept free from the sluging features that have caused the po lice to stop several clubs , from giving exhibition matches. . , , Suitable club rooms will be erected on Indianapolis avenue and an up to date gymnasium will be installed with two or three shower baths. About thirty young men have been interested in the new club and from the outlook it will be a huge success. It is the intention of the promoter to call a meeting at his buffet durlhg the next few days when the plans will be more fully discussed. SPORTING BRIEFS. It has been a good many years since Boston baseball fans showed so much interest in a National league team as this season. Manager Joe Kelly and his new team of Puritans are responsible for the awakening. Manager Clark Griffith' of the High landers is unusually fortunte in having such- a good , player as Ball to take Elberfeld's place when the "Kid" is out of the game. In the opening Lynn-Lowell game in the New England league last week, Ort of Lynn hit a high fly which was caught by Duff.. But Umpire O'Brien' declared Ort safe because Duff wore a catcher's mitt. ' Lowell players pro tested, but evidently the umpire was right In his decision. It has been hinted that several of the Detroit Tigers have not been play ing up to their usual standard on account of more money being paid Ty Cobb than the rest of them. There seems to be a disposition on the part of the Tigers to let Tyrus win the games himself if the games are won. Charles Griffin, -the Australian featherweight champion who whipped Joe Bowker in London recently. Is coming across the water for a fight with Abe Attell. Packey McFarland says he will retire after two more fights. Nlson and Gans are his choice for opponents and It is possible that one of them may re tire the stockyards wonder before he has a chance to make a Patti farewell Jock Phenicio, the crack Johnstown bantam, has retired from the ring Jock's record shows thirty-eight vic tories and eight draws 'Without a decision against him. Coach. C. S. Titiis of Princeton is busy getting his crews in shape for the inter-class rowing regatta in June. Rowing is destined to become a great sport at Princeton before long. If Joe Gans wins over Unholz next week he will take on Batling Nelson, but not for more than twenty-five rounds. , ; Jeff O'Connell and Kid Taylor? who clash at Buckley Thursday evening, are both said to be in shape for the go. It was announced yesterday that Ad Wolgast has agreed to meet the winner of the go. Dr. Message is handling spe cial trains, which will leave the Union - depot at 7:30 and 8:20

1MAYOR 10 TRY CASE Whiting Saloonkeepers Will be Put on Trial Tomorrow. Anton Noeller and John Kollar, two Whiting saloonkeepers will be tried before Mayor Smith tomorrow on the charge of having violated the saloon law. The prosecuting witnesses will be H. D. Muffltt, A. J. Carey and H. C. Furgeson, three men employed by the Sjtandard Oil company, who are very much in evidence in the fight against the saloonkeepers. The arrests were made last Saturday evening, the violation, however, being alleged to have taken place the Saturday before. It has not yet been de cided whether the trial tomorrow will be by Jury or not. Anton Noeller, who also owns a place in Gary, has his" Whiting saloon lo cated on New York avenue and John street. While Noeller is the owner, the saloon is in charge of his son-in-law, John Pauly. John Kollar, proprietor of the Opera House buffet is one of the well known saloonkeepers of Whiting. His place of business is located cn John street. Despite the arrests of aSturday night the saloons were kept open yesterday and it is thought that if the verdict will go against the two saloonkeepers tomororw that the other cases will be pressed. GOES TO MS REMAINS Whiting Lady Seeks Further Identification of Missing Man. whiting.-May 12. (Special.) Mrs. B. Clancy of Whiting, whose husband has been missing for the past six weeks went to Hobart today in order to see the remains of the man who was found dead in the Calumet river at Miller last week. The remains are at present In the morgue of Undertaker A. Wild of Hobart, where they await identification. Mrs. Clancy received a picture of the dead man from the authorities, but upon comparison said that the features of the face do not correspond with those of her husband. Nevertheless, she went to Hobart to be positive that the man was not her husband. Since the disappearance of her husband, six weeks ago, Mrs. Clancy has been thrown on her own resource?

WM' 3 iH J A POLISH PEOPLE MEET Pass Eesolutions Denouncing the Ruusian GovernmentIndiana Harbor, May 12, At a meetlog of the Polish people of this locality, fine following resolutions adopted by the Poles of Indiana Harbor were passed: "We, citizens of the United States of Polish extraction, in mass meeting assembled in the city of Indiana Harbor on May 10, 1908, take cognizance of the inhuman expatriation laws, passed by the Prussian diet, to the detriment of our fellow brethren under the Prussian government. We appeal most vehemently to all liberty loving citizens of this grand Republic, our adopted country, to join us in influencing members of congress to pass certain resolutions lately Introduced into the House, expressing sympathy with the Polish subjects Of Prussia in their inhumane and heartrending persecution by the Prussian government. We also vehemently condemn the expatriation laws passed by the Prissian diet as the most brutal, Inhnmane and unchristian, that has ever pretence of civilization. The compulsory expulsion of people from their native land, made sacred by blood heroically shed for the cause of freedom and liberty, has never had a precedent in the annals of the world's history. We hope most sincerly that the bar barity of the Prussian government as exhfbited in the persecution of Poles will serve to unit;e in one grand chorus of condemnation that has adopted the motto of "might is rrght." Copies of the foregoing will be forwarded to our representatives in the senate and congress. Signatures: REV. A. STARHOWIAK. F. ZURAMSKI. J. MIEDZEANOWSKI. J. STOWIKOWSKI. J. PRUSIECKI. G. SOLAWA. ES AFTER MEAT Indiana Harbor. Ind., May 12. (Special.)

The police were not able to apprehend the nimble fellows as they made a getaway with their stolen product In the most approved style,
