Manager Fielder Jones put Nick Altrock in the box against the Senators at the South Side park yesterday afternoon to give the German southpaw a chance to show he was not all in and a fit subject for the loop the loop. It was do or die for Nick, and he did. As a result of his clever work the Sox made it three straight from the Senators In ten Innings, 2 to 1. t . Altrock was the goods done up In a neat package. Four scattered hits were all Joe Cantillon's men could collect from Nick's delivery. He had almost perfect control and gave but two passes. In fielding he was the whole show. He had twelve assists and handled some that looked like base hits. He also started the winning run In the tenth inning by pasting a. two bagger to the enclosure that had been prepared for the crowd in right field. THEY BESTED YESTEBDAY. Boston, June 7. The world's champions rested today rested and recuperated for the coming strenuous week. They realize that the next fortnight in the east will have an important bearing on the pennant race, and despite their bunged up condition they are more confident than ever that they will win their third flag. Two victories and one draw In seventeen Innings against Boston has put the team back on edge. HAMMOND LOST IT. It was a great game, but the Hammond team couldn't bunch them.

GARY WALLOPED THIS TRIP. Wheeler, Ind., June 8. (Special.) A very Interesting ball game took place Sunday at the Wheeler ball park. The team from Gary, which has beaten Wheeler before this season, came down to match the Wheeler nine. At the end of the ninth Inning the game stood 8 to 8. In the last half of the twelfth inning Arnold of Wheeler made a hit which brought in Gott, who made the deciding tally. HUBS WALLOP DYER. Yesterday at Dyer, Ind., the Hubs of Hammond swamped the Dyer team by the score of 15 to 3. The features of the game was the batting of the Hubs, for they certainly slammed the ball. The Hubs evidently have found their batting eye which was thought to be lost. The hit and run game was worked to perfection and also the squeeze play which the Hubs have been trying to get to perfection and It completely upset the Dyer team yesterday. The next game will be again the Black Oak team next week at the Black Oak grounds. As this team Is good an interesting game is looked for and it is also hoped that the Hubs will keep up their fine ball tossing. BLISSMER COLTS BEATEN. West Hammond's young ball tossers, the Blissmer Colts, were beaten by the Malt Creams to the tune of 14 to 5. The Colts took their defeat gracefully, realizing that they were up against a bigger and older team. The game was played in West Hammond- The Bllssmers will travel to Toleston next Sunday for a game there. H0BART WINS GAME. Hobart, i Ind.. June 8. (Special. ) The game between the Maroons and the Park Manors yesterday was a onesided affair, the Maroons winning by a score of 12 to 1. GARY ON ITS WAY TO THE BALL BUGHOUSE. Three Games Are Played In the Steel City With VnryinK Success. There were three all games, or parts of games, in which Gary teams participated yesterday and from the attendance at the one which was played on the Gary grounds, it would appear that the town had gone baseball crazy. The Gary Marines played the Gary Cubs on the field in the vicinity of Twenty-seventh street and Broadway for ?25 a side, and it is estimated that there were 1,000 people who saw the game. In the third inning when the score stood 9 to 1 in favor of the Gary Marines, there was a dispute over the decision of the umpire regarding the manner in which one of the players turned third on his way home and the game broke up in a row. The crowd took sides against the umpire who decided against the Cubs' man and for a time it appeared that there would be personal violence done him. The Gary Commercials played the Felix Colts on their grounds in Chicago yesterday and were defeated by the score of 2 to 0. Gary was short a couple of players and this accounts for their defeat. In the first couple of innings, Pierce, the Gary pitcher, was too fast for the catcher and it was found necessary to substitute another catcher. Tommy Asmuthson, who Is at present under contract with the Boston Americans, but who is not playing, was secured to catch and from that time on the game went on very nicely for the Gary team. STATE LINERS PLAY. In a six inning game between the State Line Stars and the State Line Juniors, the latter beat the Stars by a score of 12 to 8. W. Krug for the Stars made a home run. COUNTY SEAT TEAM LOSES. Crown Point, Ind., June 9. (Special! One of the best ball games ever witnessed in Crown Point was played at the home team s grounds, near the Erie depot yesterday, and while devoid of the "thrillers" that make fandom superlatively happy, it was what an expert would call "corking good ball " The visiting team, from the Kent Col lege of Law at Chicago, made their only tally in the first inning on a series of errors by the local team, but at no other stage of the game were they within the danger zone of scorinePete Henning, probably was the star of the contest fanning batters during the game and fielding his position In professional style. Both pitchers re ceived gilt-edge support as the score will show. The law students are srentlemen in every respect and a return game will probably be played In the future. Score 1 to 0. The battery for the Kents was Howard and Fletcher, for Crown Point Henning and Kuschnlck. Umpire Duvive. Attendance 400.

Hammond K. 0. Team Puts One Over Visiting Brothers.

The Knights of Columbus won their first big game, yesterday afternoon at Harrison park when . they nosed In ahead of Michigan City by a score of 3 to 2., It was a pretty game, with a low score and good field work on both sides and good pitching. Hill pitched for the locals and held the vis)ors down to three hits, while the Hammond boys got six hite. 'Hammond had three errors and Michigan City four. Louis Klitzke caught for the Hammond team and although he had been out of the game for jevc J 1 years, he was right in the' game, when he caught yesterday. Tho local team showed itself a little weak with the stick, but taken on a whole. Captain Hastings Is very well satisfied with the showing made by his team. A little more practice and the team will play together in good style. The Michigan City boys played togethed in good shape, showing a little more practice than Hammond ball tossers. This having been the only big game in Hammond yesterday, a good crowd turned out to watch the game. Owing to the degree work next Sunday there will be no game on that day, but Dyer having created a reputation for itself.the local K C.'s would like to take their measure on Sunday, June 21. HARBOR TEW Ravenswood Nine Forced to Eat Humble Pie Yesterday. Indiana Harbor, Ind., June 8. (Special.) The Indiana Harbor baseball team scored another well-earned victory yesterday. The victims were. the Ravenswood nine and they came all the way from North Chicago to "get theirs." It Is, however, no disgrace to be beaten by the locals, as they have only one defeat registered against them so far this season. The game was not so full of spectacular features as the one the Sunday before, but it was interesting enough to keep the 400 spectators on tiptoe most of the time. Ford's batting and Ericson's fielding were the features. Ford made three hits, one of them a slashing two bagger over the center fielder's head. Erlcson in right field, made a running catch of a line drive" that would have made" "Circus Solly" Hoffman green with envy if he had seen it. Barney, who played shortstop for the home team, was a little off yesterday- allowing two grounders to get by him which he ordinarily would "kill." Jones, too, was not up to his usual standard of excellence and made several blunders in running bases, but somewhat redeemed himself by making a couple of nice hits at the right time. Ford pitched his customary good game and Galvin, the other half of Indiana Harbor's battery sketch, was there with a new mit and a perfect record. Hughes did the umpiring. The score was 6 to 2. MLESTOfllS GAME LaVendors of Whiting Are The Victims This Time. Whiting, Ind., June 8. (Special.) The La Vendors and the Tolestons crossed bats at Toleston yesterday afternoon. The score was 3 to 4 In favor of the Tolestons. This is the first game the La Vendors have lost this season. A large crowd of rooters accompanied the locals. The lineup for the game was as follows: Toleston McCally, 2b; Armstrong, ss; L Curran, cf; Derrick, 3b; Behnke, rf; Schumann, If; Klenn, p; B. Curran, lb; Young, c; Meyers, extra. La Vendors Adley, 2b; Squiers, ss; Griffith, cf; Exton, 3b; Kreiger, rf; Langohr, if; Stewart, p; Klelber, lb; Girard, c; Pritchard, extra. The La Vendors will play the Joe Long Colts at Hammond next Sunday. THREE MEN ENGAGE IN STRENUOUS FINISH Up to the last round three men were in a close battle at Sharpshooters park yesterday for the gold medal of the Sharpshooters club. The score was not a record-breaker, but it was surely the closest for the season. Before the last round Frank Cowgill and Henry Dlrecks were tied for first and Grant Hunter was only two points behind both. A good shot on the part of Hunter would have given him the first medal, but he fell down on the aim and dropped into third place. Cowgill beat Direcks by a narrow margin. August Schreiber won the fourth medal. Fred Sommer and the proprietor of Sharpshooters' park joined the club yesterday and others have signified their intention of coming in. The club has made arrangements for a big picnic Sunday afternoon and evening. The dancing pavilion is in fine shape and good music will be furnished. - - In addition to the gold medal shooting there will be special prize shooting Sunday afternoon.

ME OH . THE FOSSILS Didn't Have to Pay For Their Feed at Hotel After All.

Crown Point, Ind., June 9. (Special) One of the amusing incidents of the recent gun club shooting between the old men and younger exponents of the sport the "Fossils" and "Dudes" respectively, happened at the finale of ttte day's amusements at the Commercial hotel last Friday evening. The banquet, supposed to be at the expense of the "Fossils," owing to their defeat in the afternoon's contest, wa3 finished, and their "master of ceremonies" with the greatest of sang froid, marched up to the hotel clerk's desk, with a wad of green, big enough to choke a hay press. How much? makink a dive into the bunch of greenbacks, "You don't owe us a cent," politely returned the clerk. It then dawned on the older organization that their banquet has been settled for by the "Dudes," and for a few minutes they were nonplussed and dldnf know how to accept the joke. "Well," said the "Fossil's" master of ceremonies, "you've handed us one this time, but we'll try and even up some by paying for the smokes any way." Then upon the Fossil's M. O. C. with an appropriate little speech ordered the best two for a quarter cigar the house had, the thirty other members doing likewise. The big bunch of greens comes into play a second time and after figuring up his bill the Fossil's mangger lays the required amount on th clerk's desk, "Sorry, sir," politely returned the clerk, handing the money back, "but you don't owe us a cent." "This bill was paid early this morning." Amid the roars of laughter the mighty shooters marched out into Main street Dowing the next time they would buy UP the hotel and make it a good dear joke for the "gosh-dinged Dukes." GROWN POINT BO? US Otto Fifield Helps Purdue University to Get Its Points. Crown Point, Ind., June 8. (Special) Otto Fifield, a former student of the Crgwn Point high school, but now attending Purdue university, was responsible for making four of the points captured by the Purdue institution at Marshall field on Saturday last, at oneeight annual meet of the Intercollegate Conference Athletic association. Fifield captured second place in the 120 yard high hurdles, and third place in the 220 yard hurdles and his winning was contrary to the "dope" of the wise ones. Thus Crown Point high schoo1 is again responsible and come into the limelight of turning out winners iji the athletic line and it is safe to say that no other school in the country, of its size has been the home of so many athletes who have distinguished themselves in events of national importance In the athletic line as Crown Point high school.

Shakespeares' "As You Like It" To Be Given Al Fresco By Members of Famous Indiana School on Saturday.

Many Lake county alumni of Valparaiso university will journey to the Porter county seat next Saturday, next Saturday evening where an al fresco performance of Shakespeare's, "As You Like It," will be given. This is the first Shakesperean performance to be given under the auspices of the university, and much interest i3 being taken in it, not only at the university, but among the city residents as well. A notable feature will be the hour of the performance 6 o'clock in the evening. As the dusk increases delicately colored lights will be thrown on the scene by means of a calcium. The play will be given on the side of a wooded slope, the audience on the level below being able to see all the actions to perfection. The students have been drilled in their parts most thoroughly by the director of the department of oratory, Archibald F. Reddle, himself an actor of experience. It is not only his desire of the university, to present clasical plays in correct manner, costumed with historical accuracy, and with special emphasis on the educational value to be derived from dramatic performances produced in this spirit, when the interpretation of the lines, both as regards the literary qualities and the voice training, go hand in hand with the nec day night at the National Athletic club in what promises to be the fastest six round contest ever witnessed in New York. For a year or more Harry Lewis has been showing championship form. Willie Lewis lately returned from Paris, where he regained his old time form and defeated the best men on the continent. Under the direction of John Mooney, Harry Lewis has been training at Stratford, Conn. Willie Lewis has been working at Kingston. Both claim to be in the pink of condition. BOUT ON SHIP ENDS IN DRAW. Seattle, June 7. Dick Cullen of Australia and "Kid" Scaler of Spokane battled twenty rounds to a draw yesterday aboard the United States cruiser Yosemlte yesterday afternoon. Honors were quite even throughout. Scaler is possessed of the stronger punch, but was, unable to land on the shifty Australian.

Six South Chicago young men walked from that place to Hammond and back again last Saturday evening for the prize of a supper. The challenge was made by Homer Matthews, Harry Carlson and John Crotty, and was accepted by George Brogan, Frank Crispman and Herman Peterson. The trio accepting the challenge won the match and enjoyed a supper at the Majestic hotel in Hammond, which was paid for by Matthews, Carlson and1 Crotty. SP0ETING BEIEFS. 0 : i Jimmy McAleer's St. Louis hirelings are the see-saw children of the American league. It's a case of ups and downs for the Rubens. Manager Joe Cantillon believes his Washington Diggers will be among the first four select before many weeks. Hasn't he a right to believe anything he wants to? "L.'ly" Gilbert, the former Giant now with the St. Louis Nations, must have felt real bad when the Giants dropped three out of four games to the Cardinals. Tim Hurst, who has seen many stars during his twenty years as an umpire, declares that Hal Chase is the greatest ball player that the game has ever produced. With Montgomery and Mobile up in front and Birmingham toting the banner, Alabama is nearly the whole procession in the Southern league. You can never tell. Perhaps the Chicago Cubs will hit the slide before the end of the season. The champs certainly are not playing as well as they were this time last year. Woman Wisdom, A woman would rather be praised for her taste in dresa than be credited with the possession of all the cardinal virtues. The world would never find out about the foolish things we do, if we did not tell them ourselves. Dorothy Dix. "Never Contradict; Sometimes Forget," Beaconafleld, on being asked how he retained the favor of the queen, answered: "I never contradict, and I Bometlmes forget," A good rule to follow, not alone for policy of state craft, but In every business of life. Real Meaning of "Bonus." "Bonus" ought to be "bonum," since it is evidently intended to mean "a good thing," aad therefore should be neuter, not masculine. The word Is found as early as 1773, but no one knows who was the ignorant or willful sinner against Latin that Introduced it, though conjecture assigns it to the London stock exchange.

"WHITE SLAVE" LAW IN EFFECT. International Convention Against Immoral Traffic Will Shortly Be Proclaimed. Washington, D. C, June 7. Within a short time the convention of 1902, to which the United States and nearly every European power were signatories and which is aimed against the "white slave" trade, will be proclaimed by President Roosevelt. Owing to the fact that the United States has no federal police it has been found difficult to extend the co-operation provided for by the convention in keeping down the procurement from abroad or in this country of women and young girls for immoral purposes. Secretary Root, however, is engaged in working out the details whereby he h,opes, with the aid of the police in conjunction with the immigration officers, materially to restrict the Importation and exportation of the class of women whom the convention was designed to reach. As soon as the proclamation of the president is Issued, which probably will be within the next week, the department of commerce and labor will proceed to make active warfare against the offenders.

Paris Pattern No. 2000, All Seams" Allowed. Made of Delft-blue linen embroidered In a scallop and dots of bright red, this little frock which is really a modification of the nightingale idea and cut all in one piece except for the under-ann seams Is adjusted like a jumper, over the head. For romping around the house, it is the ideal sort of a slip for summer wearing, as the low neck and open sleeves make for coolness. Such a frock may be made of galatea, chambray, pique, linen, denim, Madras, percale or gingham, but as it is a garment which will require" frequent laundering, it might be well to use only such materials as survive the hard usage of the tub without fading. The pattern is in five sizes one to nine years. For a child of five years the dress requires 3 yards of material 20 inches wide, 1 yard 36 or 42 inches wide. To procure this pattern send 10 cents to Pattern Department," of this paper. Write name and address plainly, and be sure to give size and number of pattern.
