GET BACK ON SOX. Chicago. June 3. By doing a double shuffle yesterday the Sox backed into fourth place in the American Meague
scramble. At that, they gained half a game on the leaders, and as a result of their even split with St. Louis are
only two games from the top rung. It was a case of making headway by
backing up. Walsh beat the Browns to a frazzle, the exact figure being 5 to 1, but what the Sox got in return from Bill Dineen was something awful to behold. 'Bad Bill," who hasn't lost a game this season, smeared on the whitewash, 9 to 0. That sounds like a forfeited game, but it wasn't. It might as well have been forfeited for all the chance the Sox had to do business with "Bad Bill." That party pitched a slashing game, his work being even better than Walsh's In game No. 1.

BURNS DATES THREE FIGHTS.
LOSE KLING; WORST DEFEAT. Pittsburg, July 2. The world's champions won one game, lost one game and lost one ball player today in their double battle for the lead of the National league race. They beat the Firates, 3 to 0, in the first, lost, 9 to 4, in the second, lost Kling, which was the crowning misfortune of their long 6eries of accidents. Kling was hit with a foul tip in the sixth Inning of the first gamo and his throwing hand was torn for an inch and a half. He may be out of the fray for a month, although the surgeon, who sewed up the mutilated hand, says he may be. able to play again in a fortnight.
Champion Han Program Planned for Australian Yi.sit and Sails July 7. London, July 2. Tommy Burns, the American heavy-weight pugilist, will leave for Australia on July 7. He has signed articles for three fights during the visit of the American fleet in Australian waters. His first fight will be with Bill Lang, who is credited with belng the best Australian heavyweight.
This will take place in Melbourne. He will also fight Squires, whom he recently defeated in London. The Australian syndicate has guaranteed Burns $25,000 for the three contests.
KETCHELL AND FLYNN SIGN.
Referee Jack Welsh visited both men at their training quarters today and explained his interpretation of the rules to them. He especially insisted that when he said "break" the men should part instantly. The first rush for tickets commenced today, and the sale, which was looking poorly for a time, suddenly received and the prospects are now for a moderately good house. An order was received from a party of wellknown Denver sporting men, who are coming in a body. Betting now shows Gans favorite at 1 to 2, with little Nelson money in sight. Los Angeles, July 2. Doubts as to Packie McFarland's ability to get down to weight were set at rest today when
he weighed but 133 pounds at his training quarters. Just one-half pound more than is required In the conditions
of his go with Welsh. The latter's weight is but 131 pound3 and he probably will be around 130 when he steps
into the ring.
Both men seem to be In excellent shape. Each has dropped the harder portions of his work and will spend the last day before the bout in rest
ing up. Betting Is nominally 10 to 6, with Mc
Farland favorite, but elsh has re
ceived practically no support, and those
who have posted money at the various
Saloon funerals are a daily occuruence in Gary nowadays. Today the and solemn cortege of deceased saloons
will pass in review before the eyes of the people of Gary and will be buried in that green and beautiful cemetery called "Remonstrance."
Six months ago even the thought
that the saloons, which were springing up in Gary like mushrooms, would have to close up, would have been rediculed. Fine business corners were sold on the representation that they
would make good saloon sites but today twelve more saloons went out of business and it is hard to tell where
the matter will stop.
This much is known. There were
fourteen saloon licenses granted in the month of April, just before the re
monstrance was filed, and these will
of course be the last ones to remain
in business.
The others will all have little fu
nerals of their own from time to time, to continually remind the people of Gary that the saloon is passing and that before another year is past there

ETON CREW GETS INTO FINALS.
Qualifies for Grand Challenge Cup, Healing Thames Rowing Club. Henley. July 2. Eton, which this year for the first time entered a crew for the Grand Challenge cup, qualified for the final heat of the race this morning by beating the crew of the Thames Rowing club in a very close race, finishing only three-quarters of a length ahead. Eton's success in this race is considered as a triumph for the English style of rowing, as the Thames club crew has partially adopted the style of the Belgian crew, which won the cup in 1907. The final for the cup will be rowed tomorrow, when Eton will meet Christ Church College. Oxford, who this morning beat New College by six lengths, coving the course in 7 minutes 1 second, compared to Eton's time of 7 minutes, 6 seconds.
WANT HARVARD AT THE GABIES,
will not be a licensed drinking place in Calumet township. e Point is Raised. The point has been raised in Gary
as to whether or not Clerk Oliver Holmes has the right to issue city saloon licenses for the unexpired period of a county license. Some authorities on the subject say that the law providing for a remonstrance specifically states that in townships where the remonstrance Is in effert no licenses shall be granted. The interpretation which Mr. Holmes has placed on the law is that the remonstrance applies to only the county license and that he is required to issue city licenses when they are demanded. Holmes believes this also applies to the state and government license and he made the assertion that the granting of government licenses was the greatest shelter the "blind pigs" have. Oliver Holmes was one of the signers of the remonstrance and it is to
be Inferred that he would have some scruples against issuing a saloon license if he were not convinced that he was compelled to do so. This is but one of the many questions which have been raised as a result of the remonstrance.

Efforts on Foot In Kngland to Have Crimson In Olympic Regatta. London. July 2. Efforts are being made by American and English rowing men to arrange a race between Harvard and Cambridge after the Olympic course at Henley the day after the Olympic races, but all the members of the crew have not yet been consulted. This course is only a mile and three-quarters, or about two miles shorter than the Putney course, over which the university races are always held.
RACING CREW JUBILANT. New York, July 2. Verbal bets on a horse race are not necessarily illegal In New York. This is the Titerpretation placed by the race track element here upon the decision of Justice Biscoff of the supreme court, when he discharged from
custody Bookmaker Melville Collins,'
charged with making wagers on a horse race. The court decided that such oral bets were not contrary to law and the racing element is jubilant in consequence. As the case was selected by the Jocek CIVb, however, and as the evidence was prepared by its own employes, many turfmen are dubious about regarding it as a final victory for the racing Interests. Justice Blschoff ruled that while ver
bal wagers might be permissible under
certain conditions, bookmaking and
jiool-selling are not legal.
San Francisco, Cal., July 3. San Francisco is already beginning to buzz with the talk of fight fans, in anticipation of the contest between Joe Gans and Ratling Nelson. Tomorrow afternoon the two great lightweights are to meet again in the Mission arena in an attempt to settle the question of relative supremacy. The names of the two fighters are today on every lip, and little else is heard. The amount of interest manifested in the bout is something of a surprise, considering the fact that it Is generally looked upon as a "cinch" for the dusky champion and the further fact that Nelson, since his last meeting with Gans, has met with a decisive defeat and is supposed to have gone
bask in condition and ability.
The attention that the match has attracted in sporting circles can only be accounted Cor by the fact that the spectators are assured of getting their money's worth whenever Gans and Nelson meet in the ring. In their previous bouts they have never failed
to put up fast and interesting fights, and there is no reason to expect that their meeting tomorrow will be an exception. Both fighters are in the best of condition for'tho contest, if outward appearances and the confidence of their respective camps count for anything. Gans is not inclined to hold the Dane cheaply, though he is confident of his ability to put him away and expects to do the trick before the twentieth round is reached. Nelson knows what he is going up against when he. tackles the champion and has trained faithfully for the contest. He realizes the fact that if lie loses in the fight to
morrow he is practically sure of being relegated to the list of "has-beens." In the opinion of the best critics Nelson will have a fair chance to win the bout if Gans does not secure the victory before the twentieth round. The staying powers of the colored fighter are not what they were a year or two ago, and if he does not vanquish the Dane in the first half of the bout, the latter may wear him down and defeat him before the end of the 4'i-round encounter.
Sheriff James Trost tells a the days when the brewing
companies were in a contest with each other to see which could start the most saloons in the new Steel City. He happened over In Gary one day to serve some papers and stepped into a saloon which was run by Wladislaw Ozdzlnski, at the corner of Twelfth and streets. Falling to see a county license in the place he asked the proprietor where it was. he proprietor answered him by saying: "I guess I know my business." This was too much for the doughty Jim Trost and he told the saloonkeeper to close up hla place of business and come with him. After Ozdzlnski had been placed under arrest Trost and his prisoner met Tom Knotts. Mr. Knotts asked Trost what he meant by interfering with Gary affairs. Trost said that ho always thought Gary was in Lake county, and as an officer of the county he had a right to demand that the saloon
keeper produce his license.
The saloonkeeper was hauled Into
REPUBLICS
mi
game
court and fined. Later on Trost happened Into that place again and found that the city license had not been secured and he again arrested him and again he was fined. The trouble was that the Bartholomae & Roselng Brewing company had made arrangements not only to provide the fixtures' and the stock, but the license of the Gary saloonkeeper, and it had been dilatory in providing the licenses. Trost said that this vas an example of the manner in which the saloons in Gary have been operating before the remonstrance, and it was this that finally lead to the movement to regulate the saloons. City Clerk Holmes said yesterday that frequently the saloonkeepers ' in Gary would not come In for their city licenses until several weeks after they had secured their county licenses, and then only came when they were chased in by the police. This gives something of an Idea of the laxity which prevailed in Gary were saloons were started so rapidly that it kept the officials busy keeping tack of them.

THE CREAM OF THE Morning News
Tell Inter-state Team to Get a Reputation First.
to
The second game of baseball between the Republic and Interstate mills took place Wednesday. The republic boys were again victorious, winning by a score of IS to 13. The Interstate demanded another chance and wanted to name a future date for a game, but the Republic fellows told them they would have to go and get a reputation. The Republic team's captain, Pete Krill, suggested that the Grasselli Chemical nine might do for them to practice on and in case they won from them, he, as captain, might consider another challenge. There was a good many features to the game yesterday, not the least of which was Fete Krill'shome run. Mack Foland says that a retriever dog crossing the field at the time grabbed the ball and ran away with it. but not having a muzzle on was shot by a rx-
i liceman and before the Interstate
fielder could cut the dog open and secure the ball. Pete had made the circuit
of the bases. Jack Evans and Burt Clapper, however, refused to verify this version of the home run. Krill refused to make (a statement. Another thing about the game that caused a good deal of comment was the utter lack of fraternal feeling that seemed to exist between Bert Clapper and his two brothers. Will and George, who, with the assistance of "Red" Harris, did the twirling for the Interstate. Burt did everything in his power to rattle his brothers when they were in action, eve ngoing so far as to twist Will on the place of his birth (it being somewhere in Michigan) and causing the latter to consume by actual weight 25 cents worth of good chewing tobacco. Characters like Burt should not be allowed on the ground when a nice friendly game of ball between the mills Is In progress. Inasmuch as the scorer had not been able at the time of going to press, to figure up the number of hits and errors, a summary of the game will have to be omitted. There was one thing, however, that was nearly forgotten and that was the Interstate alibi. They claimed the Republic ran in some ringers on them. The batteries were: Havll-McShane, Republic;: Will Clap-per-"Red" Harris, George Clapper"Red" Daniels, Interstate.
Crown Point. Ind., July 3. The Lake
county board of review is through with its labors at Crown Point and little change is noted in the assessment lists. The tax assessments, especially those of personal property, in the various counties of the state will be less than they were last year, is the statement of the members of the state board of tax commissioners, who have just finished visiting the county boards of review. Commissioner John W. McCardle visited thirty counties. Commissioner Parks Martin thirty-two counties, and Commissioner John C. Wingate thirty counties.
"Tn the rural districts, said Commissioner McCardle yesterday, "assessors report that many of the farmers who had cattle early in the winter but lacked the corn to feed them, have sold the cattle and have less stock now. The same is true of all property. The situation is especially true of the southern part of the state." The commissioners say that more is being done now by county treasurers in collecting delinquent taxes than ltfis been done in the past. The boarT is preparing for its next session, which will begin Tuesday, July 7. At this session appeals from assessments made by the board at its first session and from assessments made by county boards of review will be heard. The board's third session will begin July 20 and will last fifteen days.
