Two games will be played by the White Sox this afternoon at Washington. That will be a pretty stiff proposition for the opening of the eastern series. The American league rule providing that games postponed from one trip to be played off at the earliest possible moment during the second trip makes the two games neoessary. On May 20 the Sox and Senators were prevented from playing in AVashington by rain, and this afternoon's doubleheader will wipe off that postponement. "Doc" White will be sent to the slab In the first game. At least, that was Manager Jones' plan when the team left Chicago. It is possible that Altrick will be used in the second game though Owen is a more likely candidate. Altrook will pitch tomorrow or the next day day and White will go back to the box for the final game Friday. HAND IT TO THE CUBS. Injuries on the Cub team are plentv but to have an insult added yesterday In the shape of a 5 to 4 defeat at the hands of the tail-end Brooklyns was going too far. It wouldn't have happened probably had Hofman been able to sacrifice in the ninth inning, with men on first and second and none out. Bay maybe Brooklyn was doomed to grab the first game of the series. If the Cub hospital corps had been allowed to play, they doubtless would have made enough runs to take all the fun out of the game. The subs cracked out twelve more or less lusty wops and Brooklyn was on the ragged edgs at the finish, but Bell, the third pitcher used by Manager Donovan, was fresh enough to finish strong and the narrow gap couldn't be plugged. It does beat the band the way the champs get bunged up. They don't seem to be more tender than other athletes, but it's getting so that every time one of the world-beaters slides to a tsag somebody lias got to run and pick him up and run his leg until "Doc" Semmens arrives to give sprain an expert message. ATTEL IS AFTER NELSON. New York. July 6. Abe Attel is again presenting his claims for recognition in

ringside and that a $5,000 side bet posted on the outcome. He suggests that the bout take place in Jimmy Coffroth's club, but says that he is willing to fight anywhere else if suitable inducements are offered. This is Attel's second effort to break

TOTES

into the lightweight class. Some time back he Issued a challenge to Gans, asking for a go at 133 ringside. The San Francisco man has practically cleaned out the featherweight division 'and Is now seeking other worlds to j conquer. He seems to believe that he j can win with men heavier than himself by simply keeping out of range. Some surprise was expressed when he made no stipulation about the length of the match. It is conceded that he 'ran best the average man in the lightj weight class in a short bout, through 1 Tits skill at sparring. lie has made no demand for a brief go, however. NELSON SOUGHT BY THE STAGE. Thentrloal OtTers Made to "Haf No Arrangement for Third Bout. San Francisco. July 6. Battling Nelson is complacently receiving offers for theatrical tours, at present, and seems to nave a good sized fortune in his grasp. Various vaudeville circuits have offered him large sums to work with them and he probably will accept one of the propositions. No steps have been taken as yet toward a third match with Gans. Word was received today from Santa Cataiina, the island of San Pedro, the harbor of Los Angeles, that Packie McFarland and his manager, Harry iGilmore, has arrived there. Some talk is current of matchine McFarland and , Nelson for a ten-round bout at MilI wauke.e or for a longer go at San Francisco, but nothing definite has been I arranged. The report from McFarland's end says that he is bitterly sore over the verdict. No credit is placed in Ben Selig's report that Gans overtrained. The majority here think that the veteran did, too little work. He was supremely confident before the battle, but went to 'his corner at the end of the second round shaking his head. He said that punches snet in with all his strength did not effect Nelson. CHALLENGE YOUNG TEAMS. The Hopkinson Colts of Hegewisch defeated the Blissmer Colts from West Hammond by a score of 5 to 2. The features of the game was the fielding of Mateson. the left fielder of the Hopkinson Colts, the batting of Kluoker and the pitching of Box for the Colts. The Hopkinson Colts would like to arrange games with any team from 16 to 18 years old. Address, H. Hopkinson, Hegewisch. 111. GET GAME WITH HAMMOND. Crown Point, Ind., July 7. (Special) The Crown Point baseball team will play the Hammond Colts at the farmers' grounds near the Erie depot on Sunday. The two teams are pretty evenly matched if the "dope" on their winning and losing is any criterion and a good game Is expected. The boys here are putting in a good week of practice and will give a good account of themselves next Sunday. ATHLETE TAKEN BACK HOME, John Powers, 10330 Ewlng avenue will be taken from St. Margaret's hospital in Hammond today to his home on the East Side. Mr. Powers, who is employed by the Inland Steel company at Indiana Harbor, was at work in the mill last Tuesday when his arm became caught under the feeder bed at the plant, crushing his right arm to such an extent that it was found ne cessary to amputate it. Powers is well known on the East Side and is very popular in his set. I-ist year the young man was one of the star ball players on the East Side team. WANT KETCHELL-PAPKE GO. Movement on In Michigan Town Match Middleweight for TenRound ii Aug. 0. to Kalamazoo, Mich., July 6. There is a movement on foot to secure Stanley Ketchel, the Michigan giant, and "Bill" Papke. the "Illinois thunderbolt" for a fight to be held here during the grand circuit harness race meeting that will be held Aug. 3 to 7. All arrangements and correspondence so far has been carried on by the Kalamazoo Athletic club, and if the efforts to promote the match are successful the fight probably will be held Thursday night, Aug. 6 at Riverview park. The ring will be placed In front of the grand stand and elevated about four feet from the ground. It is expected that fully 5,nT0 people can be accommodated and be able to see the match satisfactorily. MRS. C. P. TAFT SUES ANSON. Adrian C. Anson, president of A. C Anson Ac Co., 14 1 .Madison street, was sued yesterday for $6,500 in the Jin nicipal court. The suit, which is for a year's rent, is brought by Anna S. Taft, wife of Charles P. Taft. brother of the republican nominee for presi dent. WILL APPEAL TO GRAND JURY AnslMant District Attorney Elder An nounces Policy In Racing Matter. New York, July fi. Assistant District Attorney Elder is preparing a state ' ment, to law before the grand jury Wednesday, in which lie asserts thai the race track management is receiving $12 daily from men who formerly were In the betting ring, the money being spent apparently for "stationery." Each bookmaker receives a thin slip of paper, on which scratches and other unimportant information is written, for be j MOTORCYCLISTS ARE COMING. New York, July 6. Twenty motorcyclists, including nine teams and two ujiattached entries, left Manhattan today for Chicago in the first regularly motorcycle tour ever attempted in this

country. The men will cover 1,100 miles and expect to reach Chicago by July 16, the1 prize being a $500 trophy. An average of 100 miles a day will be maintained until Chicago Is reached. The men will not ride on Sundays. I. F. Alofsln of Chicago Is the master of the run.

SPORTING BRIEFS. Manager "Bil" Bernhardt has his Nashville team going in fine shape in the Southern league. In Bay, Seigel and Hunter, he has an outfield with a blue ribbon attached. An Indianapolis scribe is authority for the statement that Eddie Siever, the ex-Detroit southpaw now with the Hoosiers, is the highest salaried player in the American association. There is one bright spot in the Washington line-up, and his name is Street. So far this season his ' work behind the bat has been worth four bits of anybody's money. The New York Giants play real. baseball against the Chicago Cubs. Of the eight games played with the chaps this year the Giants have brought home six. How those two Boston teams hit at times. Exery now and then the Red Sox and the Doves start a slaughter and murder two or three pitchers be fore they are satisfied. Is there any pitcher doing better work than is Jack Powell of the St. Louis Americans? " Big Jack" has been peddled about the major leagues for several years, but he has arrived in Browntown this season with an assortment of winning twisters. It was like this. You see all those players traded to Jimmy McAleor of the St. Ixuis Browns were carded for the scrap heap. Jim had heard of people making lots of jingle in the junk business. So Jim says, "Me for a cart and a horn." And he did. He did mostly baseball managers. Moral: When you start out to trade make 'cm think you are crazy. WITNESS BOUT. A large number of South Chicago fight fans will go to Blue Island Sun day afternoon to witness a six roumi bout between two local boys. Kid B:ogan and Y oung Hansen. The bout will be six rounds to a decision and will be pulled off at Tom Flynns' pavilion, which is on tie outskirts of Blue Island. Brogam tips the scare at 141 and Hansen at 137 pounds. The men will weigh in at 137 Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. Brogan confined himself to do ing road work yesterday and did not don the gloves. Hansen is taking a stiff workout each day and expects to be in the best of shape by Sunday. THE CREAM OF THE Morning News Bryan's triumph at Denver is com plete, even to the victims led in chains at his chariot. Thp kevnote of democracy, which means Bryanism, will be sounded by Temporary Chairman Bell when the convention opens today. Bryan dominates at Denver just as Roosevelt did at Chicago, and that the delegates are there to obey orders and not to vote for their convictions. Bryan positively refuses to make a statement in answer to the attack made by National Committeeman Guffey. National Committeeman GufTey is re-ducted at a caucus of Pennsylvania delegates, but Bryan men say the end is not ;et. Johnson and Gray managers profess to see more hopeful signs. Tammany arrives in Denver in the earlv morninir hours, with the voice of the tiger stilled. Word reaches Denver that Bryan is insistent upon the nomination of Gray of Delaware for second place. Wave of sentiment for Bryan as sures his nomination without a doubt No vice presidential candidate agreed upon. Appellate court affirms the conviction of former Judge Abner Smith and Gustavo Sorrow of Chicago. Capitalists who coquetted with Rho dus corporations in early stages confer with District Attorney Sims and may not be called before grand jury today. Aeronauts return to Chicago after thrilling midair experiences in the long distance balloon race. Call is issued for the prohibition state convention, which opens at Springfield Sept. 9. Alleged diamond thieves In New York store are held up by an empty revolver and turned over to the police Young woman at Yincennes, Ind in attempting to defend a girl cousin kills her and mortally wounds the man who had attacked her. Important changes fire announced in the Roman congregations in Europe. Sharp gains were scored In the en tire grain and provision list, with cat tie, hogs and sheep higher. Volume of business on Nek York stock exchange is seven times as large as last Friday and prices advance. Southern fire insurance agents pus campaign In higher commission contest and hope to gain their point. LABOR NEWS Paving cutters contemplate the establishment of the eight-hour day throughout the craft in all parts of the United States. Kansas City, Mo., is the headquarters of six international organizations of organized labor, with a combined membership of 200,000. The railroad employes In the Republic of Mexico are planning the formation of a union for the purpose of excluding Americans from the service.

PROVIDE Ml SIC FOR PARK. The Marion club, one of the power ful political organizations in Indiana, will divert its attention from republican politics for a week and will branch out into a new line. High class music rendered by the most talented vocal ists of the club will command the attention of the music-loving public at Fair Bank park during the week beginning July 27. TRAFFIC ON INCREASE. That traffic is on the increase is quite evident from an examination of the train sheets and the number of loaded cars handled in the week ended July 4, and the conversation of Indiana freight officials gives evidence that they really are sanguine that the worst conditions as regards freight traffic are practically over.
