Wabash college romped away with the first annual meet, with 'Armour Institute and Michigan Agricultural college, held at Ogden field yesterday under the auspices of Armour the final count being 66 points for the victors. Michigan "Aggies'l got 32 points, while Armour 'had to be content with 19 points. Four records were broken, all in the running events. ' Two Hammond boys, Blair and Belman, figured prominently in the meet. McKarahan of Armour figured in the most brilliant performance of the afternoon. He won the 100-yard' event In fast time. Just squeezing past Blair of W'abash in the final strides in 0:10 flat. McKarahan's time is a new record for Ihe track. Allen of M. A. C. ran the half mile in 2:03 2-5, a new track record. The old time was 2:06. Belman of Wabash put up a new record in the 220yard low hurdles, going the route in 0:27 1-5. The former record was 0:28. Manuel of Wabash cut a big block off the old mile record, his time being 4:45 2-5. The previous record for the track was 4:52. - " A dispute arose over the quarter-mile race which threatened to develop into a fight when Referee Herbert decided that Deming of Wabash had won the event. Deming led all the way and won easily, according to the referee. The trouble arose because two of the judges picked Deming for both first and second places. The Judge who was expected to pick winners forgot himself and picked the second place man. Bignell of Michigan was declared by many to have won the race The "Aggies" said that their man won out In the last few yards. .

In one of . the fastest games ever played in these parts, the Hammond Hubs defeated the Toleston team at that place yesterday,- one hour and thirty minutes were required to play the game. The Hubs forced the Toles ton pitcher from the box early in tjie game and hammered the next pitcher so hard that the total hits numbered fourteen when the game was finished. The Toleston boys came in for their share of the hitting also, and for their fine and gentlemanly treatment that they bestowed upon the visiting team and a flnep lot of gentlemanly ball tossers would be hard to find. The longest hit of the game was made by a Toleston player, which looked good for four sacks, but Welty's fast threw to Witters, who relayed it to Hudson, cut the run off by the closest of mar gins. The pretty one-hand catch of James while laying on his back, must also be counted as one of. the features. The Toleston team will be the attraction at Harrison Park next Saturday, Dec l.oratlon Day, as both teams are slug gers and an Interesting game will no doube be played. The game will be called at 3 o'clock, weather permitting. The final score yesterday was Hammond Hubs 8, Toleston 5. MISCELLANEOUS BALL GAMES. At Peru Ind. Peru 12; Westfield, 6. At Ottawa, III.

The Hammond baseball team .returned from Aurora last night defeated by a Bcore of 6 to 0, but with a kind feeling toward the people of Aurora for their hospitality. Aurora's prize in the game consisted of six runs and six hits, while Hammond received five hits and no runs. From a spectators' viewpoint It was an exceedingly good game, it being one of the few that goes down into history as a game without wrangle. " Humpfer pitched a star game for the locals, but his arm lasted only for six innings. Hammond feels that with better luck it should have been beaten only 2 to 0 instead of 6 to 0. One of the players, speaking of Au rora's hospitality, said:- "The courtesy shown by the Aurora team was some thing to be remembered and will not be forgotten by the Hammond team.

Hunter, first 106 points Frank Cowglll, second 75 points Gus Muenich, third 73 points Gus Schreiber, fourth 65 points ' GARY MARINES AND CUBS. The Gary Marines were unable to go on with their game yesterday as the colleslon of two of their men in the ninth inning with a seore of 11 to 5 in their favor, the Cubs having the short end. Ten O'Clock Lines. Certain old boundary lines agreed upon in treaties with the Indians are knowD as "ten o'clock lines," because they wer- laid out with the aid of the sun's shadow falling from a given object at ten o'clock in the morning. The line was always an extension of the line of the shadow at that hour. There is a line in Indiana bearing the above title. KEEPS THE SHOES IN SHAPE. Feedstore Man Shows His Customer a New Wrinkle. A pale clerk departed with a large paper bag of cats under his arm. "No," said the feedstore man, "he don't eat 'em for breakfast food. He uses 'em for boot-trees." "Oats for boot-trees?" "Sure. Every night, as soon as he gets home, he takes off his wet and muddy boots, laces 'em up, and fills 'em with oats. What happens? The cats, like blotting paper, absorb all the moisture out of the leather and swells accordin. plumpin' the boots out splendid, restorin' 'em to their original shape, takin' every wrinkle away. "So, In the mornln', the man empties his oats back Into the bag, and, no matter how slushy yesterday's walkin had been, he now puts on a pair of perfectly dry, new-lookin" boots. "Yes, I do quite a city trade in oats," ended the feed man. "Clerks and typists, male and female, all such as can't afford made-to-order trees they cost, you know, ten dollars a pair are learnin' to use oat trees instid. Shall I put you up a pair in this here bag? Five cents is all."

BY Voyage.! FRANCES TRUMBULL. Copyrighted, 1903; by Associated 4" Literary Press. Had either Paul or Kate been less stubborn their little misunderstanding would have heaied quickly, and the solitaire would have gleamed on Kate finger instead of hiding Its brilliant light in a tiny corner of the safe in Paul's office. Instead pride held sway. and Just to show that she did not care Kate flirted outrageously with John Trent Just who Trent was no one seemed to know exactly. It was paid that he was looking for a site for a summer hotel which should bring prosperity to the island. Certain it was that a speedy team from the livery took him on many tours of the Island, and during these trips Kate frequently occupied the seat of the cutter with him. Paul Condon, whose duties held him closely at the dock, watched them speed ! past on tneir way to visit some HKeiy location, and, with a heavy heart, he wondered what the outcome would be. He neither liked nor trusted Trent, wherein he stood alone, for Trent had wormed himself Into the good graces of most of the islanders. At the simple entertainments of its social life he was always the most welcome guest, while Paul, glowering In a corner and refusing to take part In any of the games suggested by Trent, found less and less sympathy as Trent's popularity grew. It was not often that Paul attended social affairs now, urging the office as an excuse, though he had not found it difficult to leave the dock even on sailing nights when he was to act as escort to Kate Pyfrorn. He and his father owned the steamer Robert G., which made semiweekly trips to the mainland. In winter this was about the only means of communication, for the heavy gales made the passage of the pleasure sloops almost Impossible, and the stancher boats were engaged on the fishing banks. The Robert G. carried the catch across the strait to the city, and it was this traffic which made a regular communication with the mainland possible. The sailings were scheduled for G o'clock, but' if the fishing boats were late coming in the steamer would be held until their arrival, and frequently it was long after midnight before the start was made. This furnished Paul with the excuse for remaining away from merrymak ings, and gradually In the society of the fishermen and merchants he heard little of what was going on, though Kate's increasing fondness for Trent was gossip even among the seafarers. So completely had he isolated him self from the local gossip that he was surprised when one sailing day George Pyfrorn drove his daughter up to the dock and engaged passage for her across to the mainland. "She's going to visit her Aunt Kate down to Boston," he explained as he laid down the money for a round trip ticket "It's good for young folks to visit around a bit I think a trip to Boston would be good for you just now, Paul." There was meaning In the tones, but Paul shook his head. "I guess there's no chance even in Boston, captain," he declared. "I guess I've lost all hold on Kate." Pyfrorn, unconvinced, shook his head, but he offered no further argument, and after learning that the fishing fleet would be in late he stamped out of the office and on board the steamer to see that Kate was made comfortable. It was the rule that passengers should be aboard at the announced sailing time, and when 6 o'clock came Paul locked the ticket drawer and went out on the dock to look after some freight He studiously avoided glancing toward the after part of the steamer, where the passenger accommodations were, and he did not notice the white, wist ful face pressed against the pane off one of the staterooms. Nor did he see that the face was still there when he returned from supper and the first of the fishing fleet lined up alongside of the dock and began to pass the barrels of fish across the dock to the steamer. From that time on all was confusion. As rapidly as a boat could unload she gave place to another, and by midnight the last of the cargoes was stowed and the sailors began to make preparations to cast off. Paul had gone to the gangplank to see that all was right when Trent endeavored to press past him. For a moment Paul hesitated, then resolutely he barred the way. "Tickets," he demanded. Trent laughed. "I'll fix It with the purser," he assured. "You cannot get aboard without a ticket" Paul insisted. "Then sell me one," suggested Trent, setting down his suit case and drawing out his bill fold. "The sale of tickets stopped at 0 o'clock," reminded PauL "No more tickets will be sold for this voyage. You will have to wait until Thursday." "It Is vital that I should catch this boat," declared Trent "I just happened to remember that I have an important stockholders' meeting In New York on Friday." "You should have remembered before 6 o'clock," eaid Paul. "I cannot let you board the steamer now." "You can't stop me," blustered Trent. "You are a common carrier, and you have to give me passage." "I know the law," Insisted Paul. "You cannot sail on the Robert G. tonight That is all there la to it"

"Afraid that I'm going to elope with' Kate?" sneered Trent. . "I thought that you knew she waa aboard." retorted Paul. "P. tell you that .you Vaa't sail." With an oatbTrent struck at his rival, but the blow was easily blocked, and the next instant Paul had Trent by the collar. Dragging him away from the gangplank, he gave orders for the plank to be removed, but just as the crew grasped the ropes to carry out his command a slender figure sped across the already moving. boards and sprang between the two men. "You must let Mr. Trent come, Paul. pleaded Kate. "I know that it is Important that he should reach the main- . land. Won't you please let him come?" "Not until he explains this." The three started at the sound of Captain Crosby's voice, and Trent made an effort to slip from his captors and spring aboard the steamer, which was already slipping past the dock. Crosby's grasp prevented the move, and Paul and Kate looked with astonishment at the suit case which had been broken open when struck by. the gangplank. and forced against a post It was packed solid with greenbacks and bonds in place of clothiug. "It looks to me as though our friend

had paid a visit to the bank just before he left." commented Crosby as he ex tracted two revolvers from Trent's overcoat pockets. "Pni constable here, and I guess we'll put Mr. Trent where he can't get away, ne knew that ev erybody 'd be down to the dock to see the steamer sail and it would be easy to get into the vault of the First National." One glance at Trent's face showed the constable's surmise to be correct and. with a little cry, Kate swayed and fell into Paul's arms. Rapidly he bore her Into the tiny office, shutting out the Crowd of ctirious citizens, who thereupon followed Crosby and his prisoner toward the vil lage lockup. It needed only a glass cf water to revive Kate, and, with a little moan, she sat up. "And to think that I was going to elope with him!" she gasped. "He asked father's consent to our marriage, and father refused it Father was sending me to Boston to forget the disappointment, and it was agreed that John should take the steamer at the last moment. I didn't know thatthat" "That he" was going to rob the bank on his way to the steamer?" asked Paul. "I'm sorry for you, Kate." "I'm not," she said, with sudden spirit "I've been silly and stubborn. It has not only saved me from eloping with a thief, but it has shown me" ' She paused in confusion, and Paul took her In bis arms. "It has shown you that it was I, after all?" he questioned. , Her look made answer, and his anna tightened protectingly about the girl. , "We'll sail on the next steamer," he promised, "and it will be on our honeymoon. I guess you'll enjoy the trip more than you would have tonight's voyage; 'I'm glad I watted," assented Kate, but her glance told more than that Practical Fashions CHILD'S ONE-PIECE DRESS, WITH DUTCH NECK.
