The Gary baseball club have now completed their schedule for their tour through Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois, and will leave Gary for Chicago, Friday night. The team will be materially strengthened by the addition of two new pitchers, Erwin, the crack Lowell ex-leaguer, and Dobbins, who has done most of the pitching this year for Wabash college. There will be other important changes in the line-up so that the team Gary will put in the field will be able to hold their own with a majority of the teams which they meet. The boys are having some difficulty in raising the money for the trip but after giving their dance believe that they will have enough to carry them through. POLICE GET BUSY. New York, June 15. Although beting was as effectually suppressed at Gravesend today as It was last Saturday, a big squad of police easily, breaking up most attempts to make wagers, a glead of hope has appeared for the bookmakers. This Is the admission by Assistant District Attorney Elder tliat the chief danger in making a bet lies in the "cashing in." He said that if the English "credit Bystem" was adopted arrests would be made, but that, to get a clear case, it would be necessary to show at least a verbal contract as regards laying of certain odds and of payment in case a horse won. ' He said that officials and prosecution departments would undoubtedly start breaking up any system of payment, but that it might be necessary to prove the consummation of some sort of contract made by persons charged with violating the law.UNDERTAKES BIG TASK. Chicago has a new. "non-stopper"

'automobile. This time it is a Premier

and the Indianapolis creation has come all the -way over the road In order to accomplish seven, centuries in seven consecutive days as part of a 10.000 mile proposition in 100 consecutive ' days. 1 Ray MacNamara, the Glidden pathfinding pilot who last year spread the confetti for the Gliddenites is driving 'the car and will have charge of the machine during the 100 days that it will roam over the roads. Yesterday this car went over the Elgin-Aurora century course and today it will go into Wisconsin in its efforts to cover 100 miles. During its stay in Chicago it will start every morning at 8 a. m. from the establishment of Walden W. Shaw company and will carry a full passenger load. i From Chicago the car will go to New York and will continue its century runs with the metropolis as a hub. There has been no mechanical trouble and the with which they were filled at the start. THE NEXT IS HOODOO. Victory No. 12 fell into the white sox bag yesterday. 2 to 1. The twelfth game boosted the Comiskey gang up to the sublime heights of the .600 mark in the percentage column. It has been many a day since an American league team could show as fat an average as that. "Doc" White and tat Dougherty were mainly responsible in grabbing off the game, which, made it an even dozen. The "doc" pitched rings onto the score board for New York with great regularity after the first round, and it was his sound base hit that started a rally in the fifth round which, supplemented jby Dougherty's screeching three-bagger and Pat's steal of home, won the game. White had it over Chesbro far more than a 2 to 1 score would indicate. The dental surgeon was so good that only f0UT 0f tne New Yorks reached first. Three of them hit the ball and Willie Keeler walked in tne nintn, oniy to De thrown out trying to steal second so Hal, Chase might fetch him home on a hit. THIRD BURNS-SQUIRES BATTLE. Sidney, N. S. W., June 15. Tommy ' 1- - . f A n "Dill Cnnl.na Australia are to meet for the third Ime, regardless of the fact that Burns .knocked out Squires in the eighth round at Nouilly, France, last Saturday even,in. This event was one of the scratch affairs, hurriedly arranged by the French promoters, but the result has in no way discouraged the Australians. A sporting syndicate has offered a purse of $14,000 for a match between the men in August, to take place when the American battle ship fleet is in the harbor. The syndicate is the same as that which deposited $10,000 to bind a match between Burns and Lang. Lang was defeated by Jack Johnson at Mel bourne last year. The bout of last Saturday resulted in Squires making a good showing for the first five rounds, as Burns was evi dently in Indifferent condition. A stomach blow In the eighth laid Squires low. Sixteen Inning Game. Whiting, Ind., June 15.5 (Special.) The baseball game at Harrison park in Hammond Sunday afternoon between the La "Vendors of Whiting and the Joe Long Colts of Hammond was a hardfought one, lasting for sixteen innings and winding up with a tie at the end, the score being 1 to 1. The La Vend ors will play the Hammond Hubs at that city next Sunday. , This season the National league will show a close race for the first lime in several years, if the other teams con tinue to hold the Chicago Cubs and not allow them to run away. Both the National and American league teams of Philadelphia are go ing along at an even pace. Both are well balanced outfits and doubtless will make a good fight for top honors. Larry Lajoie's larrupers are playing to big business this season. The show has been greatly strengthened by the addition of Charles Hickman as general utility 'on the bench with artisti cally carved legs. Once more the uncertainty of base ball. Before the present season opened very few fans could see anything In Cincinnati. Even the Redville scribes were a bit hazy. But just take a peep at Jonathan Ganzel and his getters now. "Bugs" Raymond of the St. Louis Nationals says that Catcher Ludwig also of the Cardinals, will become the greatest backstop in baseball. "Bugs declares that Ludwig is the only catcher who has a sure clutch on the spit ball. Did you hear about the Roc-Lester team breaking loose, running up to the roof and giving the big fellows of the Eastern league a hard tussle. We al ways thought Buckenberger would do something like that. , "Rube" Waddell has been practicing the simple life since he rejoined the St. Louis Browns after taking a week's vacation on his own initiative. Will he or won't he? The prediction that the financial stringency and the bad weather thi spring would combine to cause some of the minor leagues to give up the ghost has been fulfilled by the col lapse of the Gulf Coast league, th Union league and the Atlantic associa tion thus early in the season. Of these, the Gulf Coast organization was the only one of any real consequence in the baseball world. Charlotte, N. C, June 16. The North Carolina Teachers' assembly met in thi city today for a session of three days A program that provides for addresses by noted educators from Ohio, Vlr ginia, Tennessee and several other states has been prepared for the gath

SPORTING BRIEFS.

(Continued from pace 1.)

In the Coliseum, and all la In readiness for the nomination of the man who is expected to carry on the Roosevelt policies. ABXER Handy, the distinguished Kan sas alternate, laments that there Is no politics in this convention, that It Is run by a human card index and that everything Is reformed to death. FIGHT over the labor plank will wage this afternoon before the committee on resolutions. REPORTS that Seth Low Is seeking to have Hughes withdraw from the race and that Mr. Low Is Roosevelt's choice for second place, keep the Nw York delegation on the Jump. The republican national convention is on. When the doors of the Coliseum swung open at 10 a. m., and half an hour later the. band began to play national airs, th crowd that thronged the auditorium realized that one of the most interesting political fights of recent years was nearing its climax. "Taft and Fairbanks!" That was the slogan that was heard most often and loudest as the delegates took their seats, and Chairman Harry New of the republican national com mittee prepared to call the convention to order at noon. There were cries from the "allies" for favorite sons and a common shout for "Roosevelt, a Third Termer," in answer to the slogan of the steam roller operatives. In the main, however, it was con ceded that the ticket, "Taft and Fair banks," was the one best bet of the hour. But the "allies" vwere still counted 'dangerous" enough to cause the Taft leaders to take precautions against any surprises. Talk of a Landslide. There is some vague talk of a land slide for Roosevelt, but it is significant that it originates in almost every case with anti-Roosevelt men. Those who are really loyal to the president know that he looks with hor ror upon every vote that may be cast for him in the Chicago convention, because he considers it in the light of an insult. He has openly declared and privately written that "no friend" of his will use his name in the balloting, and this fact is so generally understood among the delegates it ought to put an end once and for all to any Idle talk of a third term landslide. Will Spring Roosevelt Later. Senator Lodge or some other warm personal friend will surely have in his possession, ready to be brought out at the psychological moment, a ringing letter from Theodore Roosevelt denouncing the third term movement as the work of his enemies, who wish to injure his reputation in the future and cast discredit upon his public declara tions. From a Lake County Standpoint. Henry Bicknell: "In my opinion Unole Joe Cannon is the biggest . man in the eyes of the convention today. He has shown more horse sense than all of the rest of them put together. He does not believe in class legisla tion and consequently he does not favor the anti-injunction platform." About the time Uncle Henry had reached his greatest heights of interocean pro-Cannon oratory, some one said that Uncle Joe would not have a look-in. Thereafter for several hours the atmosphere In Bicknell's drug store was blue. Rev. F. M. Elliott was off for Chicago on an early morning train this morn ing. He wore a Fairbanks button and said that he was going to root for "Buttermilk Charley" today. Several members of the Hammond delegation who went into Chicago last night to watch the scenes around the Auditorium met Charles W. Miller, the candidate for congress from the sixth district, engaged in a very useful task of adorning the republican state head quarters. The persistent pulling of wires has brought results in a great many cases where Hammondites were making an effort to secure ticket to the conven tion. Several more of the coveted long white envelopes were in evidence yes ierday. County Chairman F. Richard Schaaf went to Chicago last night to make arrangements with other of the party leaders in the tenth district for a dis trict headquarters. The plan has not yet been positively decided upon, but It Is hoped that a room can be secured where the political longheads from this state can meet each other. John F. Sawyer, W. C. Harrison and Owen Crumpacker were among those from Hammond who made the rounds of the various state headquarters in the Auditorium Annex last night. Chairman Hickey of the tenth district was seen mingling In the crowds in Chicago yesterday. He was asked "What about the saloon question as affecting district politics," and his only answer was, "Sh." A bunch of Crown Point men have tickets to the convention and are mak ing a deal by 'means of which they can trade off and all get a peep in the big show one day this week. Gary, Whiting and East Chicago will each have several ticket holders who will swarm in the convention hall with the rest of the bunch. Se4k the Auspicious Time.

Great secrecy is observed, In some places the time selected is in the night, in others daybreak 13 the customary time. Kite Day In China. Kite day is a Chinese national holi day.

MS H.S. HEARS FAREWELL SEMIOI Dr. Edwin S. Hughes of De Pauw University Gives Splendid Address. WHITING COMMENCEMENT ON Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother Is Title of the College President's Address. (Special to The Times.) Whiting, Ind., June 16. The baccalaureate services for the class of '08 of the Whiting high school were held, in the high echool auditorium Sundayevening at 8 o'clock. The decorations were the same as those of class day with the exception of the class motto, "More Beyond," which hung over the platform, on a white background with yellow letters. On the platform were seated the speakers of the evening. Dr. Edwin H. Hughes, president of De Pauw university. Rev. Frank M. Webster of the Congregational church, Rev. Manfred C. Wright of the Methodist church, and Superintendent John C. Hall. The graduates occupied seats in the first row on the main floor. The opening number was a song, "Jerusalem," by the members of the high school. This was arranged In a pretty manner, the girls and boys coming from the rear of the auditorium and marching through the aisles in pairs, this beautiful song was sung. The high school orchestra next rendered an overture, after which Rev. P. M. Webster gave the Invocation. After the invocation the high school chorus rendered "To Thee, Oh Country," the song which won the banner at the Lake county oratorical contest in April The speakers of the evening were next Introduced by Superintendent HalL Rev. Hughes took his sermon from the twentieth chapter of Exodus, the twelfth verse, "Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah, thy God, giveth thee," which is also the fifth commandment. The speaker, who has been a minister of the gospel for the past twentytwo years, made this subject a most interesting one, and one which appealed not only to the six young graduates who have reached another turning point In their career, but which appealed to each and every one present. It was indeed an excellent sermon

Superintendent Hall was very fortunate in getting Dr. Hughes to deliver the baccalaureate address, for he has recently been elected a bishop in the Methodist church, which will compel him to leave our state. It is unfortunate that Indiana should lose this eminent educator, but the best wishes of the Whiting people go with him in his new field. The high school chorus rendered another chorus, "Rest," which was arranged from Rubinstein's melody In F. The program was concluded with the benediction by Rev. M. C. Wright and the masses of people going to their homes were remarking that they had heard the best ceremony which has ever been preached in this city. ID AT GROWN POINT Oak Park Couple Surprise Their Friends by Secret Wedding, Announcements telling of the marriage of Miss Alice Marguerite Harvey and Samuel Draper Dunlop at Crown Point, Ind., May 23, astonished the friends of the young couple In Oak Park yesterday. The bride's father, Will Riley Harvey, of Oak Park, mailed the cards after having told a few days before of his daughter's engagement, shee at that time being a bride, but he did not know It. It was all the fault of the engage ment announcement that their secret became known. Mr. Dunlop left last month for a ranch near Phoenix, Ariz. He and his bride were friends in their school days. Before he left they agreed to the secret wedding. "If you are engaged it should be announced," declared Mr. Harvey. So he took it upon himself to tell the society reporters. '.'Now you will have to tell papa,' said Mrs. Dunlop, the young bride, whose husband had departed for his ranch, expecting to return In the fall, when she confided in her older sister. Bo the sister told the father while young Mrs. Dunlop made it convenient to call on a friend. Mr. Harvey agreed to forgive the young couple and his announcement cards were the evidence that he had done so. The bridegroom will soon return to claim his wife, who Is happy because, she says, she has escaped all the "bother and trouble" that usually attend a wedding ceremony. Take THE TIMES for .
