And it came to pass that those Sox lost a game of ball. After winnig thirteenth consecutive battles Comiskey's athletes stubbed their toes yesterday, and stubbed them good and plenty, losing to New York by the store of 2 to 5. Distinguished figures of the national social and political worlds were present at the South Side grounds and witnessed the explosion, which had to come sooner or later. It was Cincinnati day and some illustrious Ohioans were the lions of a notable gathering. Congress and Mrs. Longworth occupied a box. and the Blaine Marching club, over 200 strong and headed by Weber's band, made a tremendous hit as it paraded around the field upon its arrival just after the New Yorks had fcompleted their practice. DOUBLES CHAMPIONS IN LEAD. New York, June 17. National Champions F. B. .Alexander and H.H. Hack -ett made their first appearance today lii the tournament at the Crescent Athletic club at Bay Pvidge and defeated R. D. Little and E. W. Loanard, 6 2, 62, 62. The other match, between I. C. Wright of Boston and E. P. Larned and T. R. Peel and C. F. Watson, jr., was postponed, owing to darkness, after three sets were played. W-right and Larned won the first and second sets, 8 6, 14 12. The other was taken by Peel and Watson, 6 4. The match will be decided during the week. ALUMNI SHUT OUT VARSITY. Notre Dame, Ind., June 17. The alumni won from the varsity here today, 3 to 0. The contest was the best exhibition of ball seen on the local field in year3. Pearce twirled the entire game for the alumni. Powers of the Athletics was at the receiving end of th alumni battery. He kept the varsity men close to the sacks, only one base being stolen off him. POSTPONE THE RACE. The contest committee of the Chicago Motor club, discouraged by the failure of makers and tradesmen to enter cars, last night announced a postponement until some time in August of the 1,000-mile reliability run which was scheduled for June 24, 25, 26 and 27. No definite date was . announced for the runnig off of the big tour, but In picking August the promoters evidently plan to give Chicago and the middle west a lively it of motoring. The Algonquin hill climb, which fell through on account of heavy rains, is listed for Aug. 14. HAND BALL GAMES. Following is last Sunday's results of hand ball games played at O'Malley's hand ball court in South Deering. Since Mr. O'Malley has inaugerated Sunday games at his courts hundreds of spectators have assembled each Sunday to witness the games. Several good matches are scheduled for next Sunday afternoon. PRINCE HENRY TOUR IS ENDED. Frankfort-on-the-Main, Jure 17. The automobile touring race given under , the patronage of Prince Henry of Prussia, which was started from Berlin on June 9, ended here tonight. Of the 130 machines taking part in the race 112 finished. The provisional winner is Fritz Erie of Mannheim, but the official list has not yet been prepared. The course ran through Frank-on-the-Oder, Stettin, Keil, Hambourg, Hanover, Cologne and Darmstadt. The large majority of the machines were of German make, but ten Belgian drivers started, nine French and several of other nationalities. WESTERN GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP. St. Louis, Mo., June IS. The annual open championship tournament of the Western Golf association opened auspiciously today on the links of the Normandie club. The liberal prize list has attracted a notable array of talent and the tournament'giv'es ' every, indication

of being a success. The play will continue over tomorrow. MOTOR BOAT RACES. After several weeks delay the winner of the motor boat race held on June 8 under the auspices of the Chicago Yacht club, has been decided upon. Swatlska was awarded first place, the Sacajawea, second prize and liaqua, third prize. Boats'. Elasped Allow- Cortime. ance. rected.

A three-year football agreement was signed here today by the representatives of West Point and Annapolis academies and the University of Pennsylvania. The games wil be played on Franklin field on the Saturday following Thanksgiving day each year. It was agreed that the tickets for seats shal be equally divided between the two academies and the University of Pennsylvania, as heretofore. The seating capacity of Franklin field will be Increased. ASKS PAPERS TO OMIT BETTING. New York, June 17. P. J. Dwyer, president of the Brooklyn Jockey club made an unusual request of the press this afternoon. He sent Captain Thornhill of the Pinkerton force into the press stand to ask the newspaper men to stop printing odds of the charts published daily. The news spread around quickly and caused a sensation among both the layers and the players. The effect of omitting prices on the charts would te widespread. It would knock out all future betting, kill off the thousands . of handbooks throughout the city and tend to cripple the poolroom business, for thousands of bets are paid off daily on the official odds as quoted in the newspapers. CUBS WIN AGAINST ODDS. Philadelphia, June 17. Chicago triumphed over heavy odds today and won the final and deciding, game of the series from Philadelphia by the score of 3 to 2. The game, bitterly fought at all stages, was the hardest to win of the year, and the clever pitching of Fraser in tight places and Steinfeldt's long drive against the club-house gave them the verdict. The Cubs, with adverse decisions wrecking their chances to score, and with even worse decisions giving the Phillies opportunity after opportunity, fought grimly and doggedly, and at the end got the decision by the narrowest margins. STAKE BOOK IS REDUCED. New York, June 17. As an Indication of which way the wind is blowing in Gotham turf events, a notice was Issued today by the Coney Island Jockey club stating that all "unclosed" races would have their added money cut in half. This means that all races not in the stake book would be reduced 50 per cent in value. In this respect the management is following the lead of the Brighton Beach association which was first to announce that Its purses would be reduced. The notice included the statement, however, that the stakes wo'uld be run at their original value. This means that the Suburban and other noted events will be held as usual. PICK 15-LAP COURSE FOR RACE. New York, June 17. The contest committee of the Automobile Club of America announced tonight that the international . road race for the grand prie to be held on next Thanksgiving day in Savannah, Ga., will be fifteen times around a course 26.73 miles in length, a total distance of 400.95 miles. The committee states that the course will be thoroughly oiled and all intersecting roads will be closed. Whenever necessary the track will be fenced, and all trolley tracks will be torn up and bridges built over the banked and cemented, and there will be several straightaway stretches of three and four miles. The course will be from thirty to sixty feet In width. Work on laying out the four routes that will be used in the 1,000-mile reliability, run of the Chicago Motor club June 24-27 was completed last week by the scouts, and yesterday Chairman Root of the contest committee announced a total of 1,014.2 miles for the strenuous test, the longest route being the one into Wisconsin, 282.7 miles. Route No. 3 as laid out by the club runs from Chicago to South Bend and return and passes through Hammond and, Crown Point. It is as follows: Out Halsted and Michigan avenue to River dale, 18.1; Oak Glen, 25.7; Munster, 27.1; St. John, 39.1; Crown Point, 46.3; Merrillvllle, 51.8; Valparaiso, 66.6; LaPorte (checking station), 89.4; Teegarden, 111.5; Lapaz, 115.2; Plymouth (hecking station), 123.5; Lakeville, 136.5; South Bend (checking station).

Lake County Republicans Have No Trouble in Getting Into Republican Convention Through Magic Hand of F. R. Schaaf. 10 HUNDRED FROMJJKE COUP? Druggist Henry Bicknell Seems To Be Against Hanly and Sight of Governor Spoils Uncle Henry's Whole Evening Because of the Contretemps. Tlie story started In Hammond yesterday tbat no Hammond men could get In the convention is a silly season yarn. If you want to Ret In the convention you can get all the tickets you want. So fewer than 200 republicans from I.fke county have attended the national republican convention. There were more Lake county people than ever who took advantage of opportunities to see the big G. O. P. show and aprnin yesterday Lake county men were to be seen everywhere in the lobbies nnd in the Indiana headquarters. Incidentally F. Richard Schaaf, the Lake county chairman, is the local hero of the convention. He has been laying his wires ever Mince the convention started and yesterday he had thing so arranged that he could get nil of his friends into the convention hall. Between thirty and forty Hammond men applied and all were accommodated. At first all that was required was to get Jim Goodrich's O. K. and then after that became merely a matter of form and Mr. Schaaf did not attempt to abuse his privilege' the doorkeepers honored Schaaf's O. K. The county chairman from other counties came to Schaaf and asked him how he managed to work it. Schaaf only smiled and looked wise. "Never have been turned down yet," was all he would say. Richard Schaaf is looked upon as a progressive and energetic county chairman by the down state politicians and they give him about everything he wants. Schaaf Is Favored. That will be the case when the coming campaign is on and If there is anything in the gift of the officers of the republican state committee that will do Lake county any good Richard Schaaf is going to get it. But there are a score of Lake county men who are grateful to Schaaf for getting them into the convention and there will be two score who will get In today as a result of Schaaf's influ ence. The principal place of local Interest at convention yesterday outside of the Coliseum was the Indiana headquarters, Here there seemed to be more of the politicians around than at any previous time during the convention. James Watson was there with his exceedingly "glad hand" and Governor Hanly stood In the headquarters for several hours last evening meeting the politicians from over the state. Then there were the lesser lights without number such as Carl Rlddick, secretary of the state committee and Will Hays, the young man who is in charge of the speakers over the state during the coming campaign. American Princess Seen. Down in the main dining room of the Auditorium Annex everybody was at tracted bv the presence of Mrs. Nich olas Longworth, the President's daugh ter, formerly Miss Alice Roosevelt. She been made to date Nos. 1, 2 and 3 go ing to the Excelsior Supply company. The Aurora Automatic Machinery company nominated two'Thor machines. A third entry of the latter make will be made as soon as a suitable rider can be found. The manufacturers are looking upon the event as to vast importance and are extremely careful in the choice of riders. The Excelsior company has named J. S. Woodworth, Henry Adams and Arthur Lyon, all men of experience, while the brace of Thors will probably be ridden by William Ottaway and C. F. Anderson. It Is possible that the race meet, which was originally planned as a grand finale when the tour ends in Chicago, may be put on the Crown Point en route between South Bend and Chicago. Should this be definitely decided on, Crown Point will be made a night stopcTver. The Crown Point track is a half mile oval .located within forty miles of Chicago, and race meets held there by the Chicago Motorcycle club in the past have drawn large crowds and -. created a very lively inter

was one of a party of four, two young men and another young woman, but her husband was not at the table with her for' some reason or another. She was distinguished by an enormous picture hat which was surmounted by several large Alice blue ostrich plumes. She has an intense manner and while talking to the other people at the table would lean forward, in a good deal the same manner as her father is credited with doing, and talk with every ounce of energy there is in her. The marching of the various organizations was all the more frequent yesterday and bands were playing in all parts of the city in the vicinity of Wabash avenue, State street and Michigan avenue. Demonstration Talk of Town. After the session of yesterday was over the big demonstration in honor of Roosevelt was the talk of the town and it caused a great deal of speculation as to what will be done today.

Everybody in the lobbies and on the streets in asking if there will be a repetition of the demonstration today. Among the Lake county men who were seen in the Indiana headquarters, in the convention hall or in the lobbies of the Annex were: Charley Deming, Harvey Gostlin Ralph Bradford, J. D. Ebrigh, W II. Gostlin. Ernest Shortridge, D. H. E. Sharrer, Tom Grant, Bob Grant, Elmer Nichols, Frank Gavit, Henry Beaubeln, E. N. Canine, H. E. Sharrer, Henry Davidson, E. R. Shanklln, H. L. McCoy, Abe Ottenheimer, E. W. Wickey. E. Foland, W. J. Patterson, Charles Surprise, R. H. McIIie, A. J. Swanson, Dr. T. W. Oberlin, B. F. Hayes, Capt. H. S. Norton, T. W. Binzen, R. Manlove, W. J. Brennan, Attorney Bretsch, H. B. Douglas, H. B. Nicholson, Dr. Sauer, John W. Dyer, A. M. Turner, A. C. Huber, Nels Jacobson, A. F. Knotts, E. E. Beck and Henry Bicknell. Bicknell Meets Hanly. An amusing incident happened when Henry Bicknell and E. E. Beck wandered into the Indiana headquarters. Beck saw Hanly standing over at one side of the room and without saying a word to Bicknell took him over to where Hanly was. When he arrived near enough to the governor Beck said, "Bicknell I want you to meet the governor." Bicknell got one sight of Hanly and then fled from the scene. Wrhat he said under his breath as he left the vicinity was audible to only a few people who happened to be near him but they looked up at the fleeing man in surprise. Beck had spoiled Bicknell's whole evening. C0NGREGATI0NALISTS MEET. Rapid City, S. D., June 18.

A New School Idea

"What shall my boy do during vacation?" is a question that confronts all' thoughtful parents. Even the boy tires of continual loafing, varied even by an occasional ball game. Very few of them would, however, confess that they want to go to school. They want to do something. This longing of the boy to exert phycical energy is natural. He may not be delighted with the household tasks that are usually provided, but he nevertheless wants to be active. It is to meet this demand of the boys and the parents that the East Chicago Board of Education proposes to open the manual training shops during the summer, provided there is a sufficient demand for it on the part of the boys. They will be allowed to work under the same conditions that prevail during the regular school term. The amount of time spent by each boy will depend on the number who desire to do the work. If the number is large, classes will be formed and each class will be assigned definite days and hours. The instructor will be paid by the board but pupils will pay for the material used, just as is done in the regular school year. It is hoped to make the work enjoyable for the boys, yet their conduct must be as orderly as in regular classes. Both shops will be open. The McKinley shop will be in charge of Principal T. E. Williams and the Lincoln at Indiana Harbor will be in charge of competent hands. In addition to the manual work it is proposed to help both boys and girls who have been conditioned or who have failed in some of their work and who want to work up into the regular classes. There is to be no charge for any of the work except as stated above, where material is used in the shops. The work is open to all boys of the city, who must make application to the superintendent. The exact time for commencing the work has not been determined but will probably be during the week, beginning June 29, giving pupils and teachers a short vacation. A Times reporter in company with Supt. E. N. Canine recently visited the McKinley shops and saw the high school boys at work. Those who have not .made a like visit will hardly realize what a complete equipment the school has and what a splendid opportunity is offered the boys of this city to get some of the elementary ideas of an industrial education; Ideas that will give them higher opinions of the dignity of labor, practice that will enable them to do and to have many things and conveniences about their own homes, though they may never dream of being carpenters. In the East Chicago schools manual work is provided for all pupils of the grades and for the first two years of the high school. The board recognizes the importance of this' work and supports it liberally, yet it is subordinated to the old stand bys. Nothing can ever take the place of thorough Instruction in reading, arithmetic and the English language. Manual work, properly conducted, will help all these. In the first four grades boys and girls work together, in the first grade fold-

grade takes up paper construction a,nd ing, cutting, weaving and simple exercises in design are given. The second various forms of hand-loom weaving. In the third grade woven materials, burlap and tile matling furnish use for needle and thread, giving a basis for later sewing and shop work. Basketry in its various forms is the main wtork of the fourth year. Regular hours are assigned for this form of work but are so planned as to be a relaxation from the regular work. This work, together with the sewing of the girls of grades five to eight and the drawing of all the grades, is supervised by Miss Janet Jaynes. . At the beginning of the fifth year the boys begin shop work and the girls sew in their rooms under the immediate direction of their teacher. The purpose of this course is to give practical and applicable knowledge of hand and plain sewing, to train the pupils in habits of attention and exactness and to give a higher opinion of the dignity of labor. The development of the pupil means the development of the home. At first

the lessons are very elementary, designed to give the girls a knowledge of the use and handling of scissors, thimbles, needles and thread, practice stitching of various kinds is learned and some simple; useful article may be made. In the sixth year this work is continued, followed by lessons in different kinds of darning. This year the girls made a complete doll outfit, giving them practice in many kinds of sewing. Compositions are written on the growth and manufacture of materials used. The seventh and eighth year grades have practice in patching, the making of some article to wear and occasionally in fine needle work. As yet the school does not have a cooking outfit but eighth grade girls study many of the household problems that lead up to such a course; as sanitation, ventilation, cleanliness and food products. The new Washington school at Indiana Harbor will have excellent accommodations for this class of work. The boys begin shop work in the fifth year. This has not been found entirely satisfactory and it is possible that a change will be made. They have been given lessons in the uses of tools and in the making of simple articles. The sixth grade boys become more familiar with tools and materials and make such articles as bread boards, bracket shelves, picture frames, wind mills, etc. The seventh and eighth years continue with glove boxes, foot stools, tabourets, magazine racks, lap boards, sleds, etc. There is a complete book binding, outfit and both boys and girls are taught to make tablets, portfolios, note books, magazine covers and to repair soiled or torn books. The school has two well equipped shops. The one at the Lincoln building will accommodate about twentyfive boys at one time for bench work. The McKinley shop has the same equipment for bench work and in addition a room fitted up for second year and high school work. This room has a Jointer , and hand saw of the latest pattern.

designed to aid in getting out material for all grades. There are also four lathes for wood turning. This machinery is all run by the same engine used to run the fan, Trenches were cut in the cement floor and all belts and gearing put underneath, so that there is no possible danger to pupils from these sources. The first year high school continues the bench work and takes an elementary course in wood turning, while the second year continues the latter work and pattern making, with advanced cabinet work. In seventh and eighth grades high school the boys must make working drawings of the articles being made, while the high schol has a regular twoyear course in mechanical drawing. The work was begun in East Chicago by private subscriptions under the direction of Supt. W. C. Smith. The present superintendent and board have developed and extended the work until the department is equal to the best schools. For the past two years the work has ben directed by Mr. W. C. Huton, who will probobly attend school during the coming year. To carry forward this work the board has secured the services of Mr. A. H. Whitesilt, who is just completing an extensive course in the State Normal school at Terre Haute. He is a man of extended teaching experience and manual training will continue to grow under his leadership.

WASHINGTON BANKERS MEET. North Yakima, Wash., June 18. The annual convention of the Washington bankers'- association opened here today for a three days' session, W. D. Vincent of Spokane presiding.
