Two stolen bases and two neglected opportunities made the score 2 to 0 in favor of Brooklyn instead of 2: to 0 in favor of Chicago today and because of these ; things the world's champions suffered their first defeat in the east and fell : to within striking distance of the purr suing Reds. The Cubs, still further broken by the injury of Evers, fought desperately to win, but fell short. Their failure to perform their ordinary duties in the field handed two runs to Brooklyn and each after one or more opportunities to prevent the run from scoring had been offered. Twice a long fly or a hard hit ground ball would have yielded a run for the Cubs and each time they failed. Six times a safe hit would have meant runs, and perhaps victory. but every time Rucker rose to the emergency and .held the fuming and :angry champions safe. "M0XEY" WINS HIS GAME. After a long session of languishing and sighing, "Moxey" Manuel got his first chance yesterday to pitch for those Sox, and everybody was satisfied, ex'cept the Athletics. The White Sox wonder from New Orleans won a pitching duel from the veteran Plank by the uncomfortably close score of 3 to 2. -.His brilliant trio of strikeouts in the last inning Tuesday elected him. "Moxey" was flanked by his Crescent City teammate, Atz, who drove in the tieing and clinching runs In the eighth. Jakey happened to be batting for Parent when this delightful bit of by-play occurred. This put New Orleans back on the map. MISCELLANEOUS BALL GAMES. At Cambridge, Mass. Harvard, 1; Cornell. 0. At New. Haven, Conn. Yale, 7; Louisiana, 1. At Worcester, Mass.

' ' GARY TEAM'S NEW SCHEDULE. The Gary Commercials have practically completed their schedule for their tour of Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois and the team expects to leave Gary Friday, the nineteenth. The teams which they have secured games with are all very strong and they do not expect to descend upon the hawkeyes and make a clean sweep. The trip will be valuable to the team for the experience it will get and also for the advertisement to the city. Following are the teams which they already have secured games with: Muscatine, Iowa; Elizabeth, 111.; Galena, 111.; ML Carroll, 111.; Cascade, Iowa; . Pattsville, Wis. With these teams, with these, exception of Elizabeth, there will be a series of two games played. Several other teams have written that they are willing to schedule games but the exact dates have not been established. CHANGES IN THE YALE FOUR. Coach Kennedy Shifts the Men About to Original Order In Shell. . , Gale's Ferry, Conn., June 10. Yale's varsity four was entirely shifted this morning and this evening every man was put back to the original order in the shell. The order now is: Stroke, Wallis; No. 3, Miller; No. 2, Godley; bow, Wodell. This is now likely to be the final makeup. Bobbins, stroke of the second four, is an unusually valuable oarsman, and Coach Kennedy would like to find a place for htm in the first four. When La was at No. 2 today, in place of God-

IllfiiS ley, less speed - was shown, however. Head Coach Noyes of the freshman eight made another shift tonight, putting Captain Livingston back at stroke and giving Substitute Bogue seat No. 6. Frost and Hyde of the freshmen eight are still laid up with boils. This even ing, for the first time since their arrival, the Yale oarsmen were able to get near their course. They raced the freshmen a mile tonight, winning by three lengths. TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP. First round matches in singles were finished yesterday in the first day's play of the intercollegiate tennis tournament held at the University of Chicago courts. Chicago, Illinois and Minnesota are the teams competing, and representatives of each school survived the initial play. Two Illinois players won their first round matches. Musselman defeated Potter of Minnesota, 6 4, 6 4, and Roth of Urbana defeated Hart of Chicago, 3 6, 7 5, 7 5. The Roth-Hart match brought out the fiercest struggle of the day, Roth taking a brace after Hart had won the first set 3 :6. and had the second 4 0. Ross of Chicago, who defeated Kypke of Wisconsin, 6 2, 6 1, and Musselman of Illinois, who defeated. Potter pf Minnesota, 6 4, 6 4, are the other survivors. JACK O'BRIEN WINS BOUT. Philadelphia, Pa., June 10. In a six round bout that was marked by fast and vicious fighting Jack O'Brien bested Jack Blackburn tonight at the National Athletic club. In the first round O'Brien knocked Blackburn down with a straight left In the third and fourth rounds Blackburn hit O'Brien low and apologized. In the fourth and fifth rounds O'Brien seemed to tire, but came back strong in the 'sixth and had Blackburn clinching to avoid stomach punches. O'Brien's blows had more steam than did Blackburn's, but the latter put up a game fight against odds in weight and made a splendid showing. YALE WINS FROM L0USIANA. Takes Game AVlth Southern University by the Score of 7 to 1. New Haven, Conn., June 10. Brilliant fielding marked Yale's first game ever played with a college south of Virginia today, when the Elis defeated Louisiana State University, 7 to 1. Goyer, left fielder for the visitors, made the most briliant catch ever seen on Yale field, racing to the fence and capturing Wheaton's foul. E, Wilbert at second base and Albright at third figured-in spectacular plays:' The two Yale pitchers, Howard Jones and Rose, had the visitors at their mercy, striking out fourteen men and allowing -but three hits. Louisiana's only run came on Hochendell's thnee bagger' and a wild throw by Cushman, Yale's third baseman. Captain Tad Jones performed the feat of scoring from first base on a squeeze play. The score by innings: Louisiana .... 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0-1 Yale 1 3 0 0 0 1 0 2 7 Batteries Yale, H. Jones, Rose and T. Jones; Louisiana, Smith and Mary. MAY STOP RACING. Baton Rouge, La,, June 10. Betting on horse races in Louisiana seems to be nearing its finish. Once more the influence of "Ed" Corrigan and "Louie" Cella is credited with giving the sport a setback. Not only did the lower house of representatives pass a stringent antibetting bill , today, but Governor Sanders also requested the legislature to appoint a . special committee, which it did, by naming nine to investigate the reports that $50,000 was being used to influence certain members of the senate for race track interests. He also called a special session of the grand Jury to take action if necessary. I. H. TEAM TO TAKE TRIP. The Indiana Harbor baseball club Is scheduled to play the Tippecanoe Grays at Tippecanoe, Ind., Sunday next, June 14.

Everybody that likes good, clean basebal lis invited to accompany the team. SPORTING BRIEFS. So far this season the Youngstown and East Liverpool teams have been the star performers in the O. and P. league. The Jackson team in the Cotton States league has been making a splendid fight, going up from last to third place. The Virginia league teams have been sticking close together and the team that wins the pennant this year will have to go some. The new Carolina association is going along nicely, with the Greenville team showing the way. New England league teams are evenly matched and Jesse Burkett, who has been winning pennants regularly, is having hard work keeping his Wor cester team in the running. The Grand Rapids team seems to have come into its own again "and has been leading the Central league race recently. KENTUCKY FOR BRYAN. " 1 - . t v Lexington, Ky., June 11.

II ON A RAMPAGE Crown Point "Stew" Arms Himself With Shot Gun ; . and Hunts Victim. OEPUTY SHERIFF TO RESCUE Clash Between Official and Drunk Results in Victory for the Former. (Special to The Times). Crown Point, Ind., June 11. One of Crown Point's characters knbwn as "Butcher John,' 'full of booze and bad ideas, started on a rampage yesterday and but for the strenuous intervention of Deputy Sheriff Horst Crown Point would probably have been the scene of a massacre rivaling the Kish nef horror of Russia. Loaded with a double-barreled shotgun and muttering imprecations on everything good, bad and indifferent, John was first seen marching down the Panhandle tracks, stopping at times to ram a handful of gravel and powder into the gun barrelsvowing vengeance on another man with whom he had previously had an altercation. Deputy Sheriff Notified. At this juncture a citizen deemed it advisable to call the authorities, and Deputy Sheriff Horst was immediately on the scene. After a struggle he separated John from his gun and his bad ideas, but the booze continued to flirt with him for some time. He was taken to Carter's "hotel" and after showing him the error of his ways, Horst started him due west from town down the railroad tracks, and the last seen of John was a tiny, wobbly speck on the western horizon between here and Schererville. CMieS CALLED OFF Crown' Point Experiencing Labor War Between Carpenters and Painters. Crown Point, Ind., June 11. (Special.) Delegates from Hammond made things lively in town yesterday "when the union carpenters were called off the work, on the Improvements on the Frederich saloon building on the corner of Main and Joliet streets. The trouble harks back to the time of the disagreement between the painters and contractors, who were at that time In the union, but owing to the contractors or bosses refusing to sign the contract embracing terms that they said were detrimental to their interests and refusing to meet the demands of the painters, the matter of unionizing the painters was given up and they went back to work on the old terms. Refuse to AVork With Scabs. It was with some of these men that the union carpenters refused to work yesterday. Much will depend on" the attitude of the contractors as to the outcome of the difficulty, but from the present outlook the matter Is liable to be contested for some time. In speaking to a Times reporter last evening, a prominent painting contractor said: "At no stage of the game have we refused to pay the union scale, but there are certain demands made upon us In the union contract that were unfair. However, we were willing to even sign that, had the painters been willing to reciprocate and meet the terms of a contract framed up by the contractors to protect their own interests. The matter as it now stands is whether the carpenter contractors will side with us or compel us to meet the demands of the union." STRIKE OrAT WHITING Fifty Men Employed on Street Construction Lay Down Their Tools. Whiting, Ind., June 11. (SpecialFifty men employed by the Cain construction company at Whltingr In building the pavement on One Hundred and Nineteenth street struck for higher wages this morning. Up to noon today no settlement had been reached, the strikers having failed to carry their cause to the proper people in the company. . The strike was started by a few agitators in the gang who laid down their shovels and induced a few more to follow their example. When the first strikers thought they had enough power they went to the balance of the workers and forced them to quit which the latter did. The workinf men hired by the Cain construction company were receiving about 16 cents an hour and working nine hours, received $1.35 a day. It is more than likely that the Cain construction company will make short work of the strike as there are hundreds of men waiting to labor at $1.35

Indianapolis, June 11. Republican leaders in this city are actually shocked at the Taft methods of winning the presidential nomination at Chicago. They feel that the managers of the Secretary's campaign are going too far and that their manifest unfairness may break up the party in this and other states. The Fairbanks people feel that they haye not been given a square deal by the exponent of the square deal policy and that members of the rank and file throughout the State will resent at the polls next November the machine tactics of the Ohloan and his administrative backers. Republicans here practically admit now that the Vice President will have no show for the nomination. They feel that the Taftites will grab everything in sight both nominations and the platform. The, effect on the party in the State is now giving them the most concern. At headquarters yesterday the thought was expressed that the Taft managers, in their eagerness to grab everything, may go so far as to antagonize the convention. One prominent Republican said he would not be surprised to see the convention and the whole country suddenly become disgusted and right about from Taft to some other Candidate. It was announced that Fairbanks will remain in the fight till the last, that he will' not reconsider his determination not to accept nomination for second place on the ticket and that he will not make any protest if he is defeated. "The Vice President is game," said one man close to Fairbanks, "and will not utter a single squeal if he is licked. So far he has not said a word of complaint about the Taft tactics." Republicans feel that it will be nip and tuck for Taft to carry Indiana next fall. Dissatisfaction exists among the negroes and unionists. They feel, however, that Fairbanks will take the stump for the Secretary and that he will be able to line up recalcitrant voters. It is thought too that Roosevelt will make a swing round the State and this. It is generally agreed, would do much good. The president has a great hold on the farmers and small business men. It Is stated at headquarters that the Indiana delegates will stand by Fairbanks even though it seem - assured that he will have no possible chance of winning the nomination. Stokes Jackson, Democratic State Chairman, sprung something of a sen

sation last night by declaring that James Bingham, Attorney General and candidate for reelection on the Republican ticket, was indicted by a federal grand Jury in 18S9 for election frauds, tried and freed only by a disagreement on the part of the Jury. Jackson was one of the speakers at the banquet given by the Jackson club of Indiana University. His statement was backed up by Court readings In which he cited pages and paragraphs. The facts seemed to be new, having been overlooked, it seems, two years ago when Bingham was first a candidate: John Kern, who Is still talked of as a running mate for Bryan, Is out with a statement predicting Democratic success next fall. He says the Democracy is more united than at any tnme in a dozen years and that the Republican party is shot to pieces. The optimism which characterizes Kern Is dominant in his latest utterances. Kern is going to Chicago next week to witness the proceedings of the Republican convention. He has a special ticket from his good friend, Harry S. New, national chairman. T. Taggart is at French Lick, getting ready for the Denver convention by appointing setsreants at arms, etc. Practically every Democrat in Indianapolis is sitting up nights waiting for some personal note from Tom that he will be taken care of at the big gathering. There will be a thousand disappointments to one gratification. . -o. VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS. Roanoke, Va., June 11. There were strong indications at the opening of the Democratic State convention here today that the views of Senator Daniel and other prominent party leaders would prevail in the matter of sending the delegates to the Denver convention uninstructed. Senators Daniel and Mar tin and Governor Swanson are slated for daces on the "hie- four " Tho fn-tv. delegate at large probably will be eith er former Governor Tyler or R. Tate Irvine. Much Interest centers in the action that the. convention may take with regard to the primary system of direct nomination. While many of the party leaders favor the plan, others believe that it should be modified to met certain objections and some declare that it should be abolished altogether.
