SOX BREAK EVEN.

Philadelphia, July 13. The White Sox and Athletics broke even today in the double-header. The Philadelphia team won the first game by the score of 5 to 1, and in the second game the Sox led all the way, finishing with the count of 9 to 2 in their favor. Two of the Athletics pitchers were knockedout during the afternoon. Jimmy Dygert was forced to quit before lie had finished one round of the first game, as the Sox had no trouble in hitting his delivery. Eddie Plank took his place and managed to hold the Sox without another run, although he was hit hard and often in the last few innings of the game. Manuel was the Chicago pitcher. He was wild, but was not hit as often as Plank. He gave three bases on balls, two of which resulted in runs, made one wild pitch that was costly and the team did not give him good support.

Second dam of Laura Fay is Bell B., with a record of 2:24. Onoqua, her first dam is a producer and dam of Onoqua Gentry, who took a record as a three-year-old of 2:1 i and has had already a trial of 2:12 this year. She is only four years old and a full sister of Laura Fay. Hn a World of Spe'd. Laura Fay has a world of speed and has an ancestry back of her that assures her of a good home when she is through racing. She stands sixteen hands and one iTich high and weighs 1175 pounds, and without a blemish. As a two-year-old

she paced a mile in 2:10 and her former owner, R. A. Rouse of Danville, 111., challenged any two-year-old in the

world with her to race for $10,000.

She took the distemper in her three-

in her four-year-old form but she Is new well and strong. She has been at Pullman since the 15th of April and has been driven by her owner, W. J.

SIM0NETTES STUNG. Whiting, Ind., July 14. (Special) The Simonettes of Whiting, were "stung" Sunday, which they did not take altogether in good part. They had a game of ball scheduled with a Chesterton team, and after going to Chesterton were informed by the one man whom they were able to locate that they were unable to get their team together. After waiting around for their train to return home, when they met a manager of another Chesterton team and they scheduled a game which will be played at the Wolf Lake club house grounds next Sunday morning at 9:30 a. m.

CUBS ARE HARPOONED. And yet again did those Phillies sink the cruel harpoon Into the dear, old Cubp. Only the Giant's double vlctory at Pittsburg kept the champs on their lofty perch. It was a tight squeeze, but the gay Quakers had six runs to show at the finish as against only five for the West Siders. II. Steinfeldt had a chance to raise thunder in the ninth with two out and men on second and third, but his tower foul fly was gobbled by Mr. "Red" Dooin and the game was over. The two costly errors on the Philles' infield gave the Cubs a chance for a rally in the ninth, and they did score two runs, but three were needed, so the side might just as well have gone out In one. two, three order, as It would have done with good fielding behind Pitcher Sparks.

LIGHTBODY IS BEATEN. London, July 13. Melvln W. Sheppard and J. P. Sullivan, both of the Irish-American Club of New York, sustained the honors of America at a gloomy opening of the Olympic games today, each winning their heats In the 1.500-meter run. In spite of the gloomy weather, freely interspersed with rainfalls, and regardless of the discouraging conditions caused by the system of drawing for heats, all the Americans did nicely, and Sheppard broke the mark of 4:05 2-5 made by Lightbody of Chicago In St. Louis In 1904, by covering the route in 4.05 flat. Close behind Sheppard came Halstead of the New York Athletic club, and the man who finished second to Sullivan was J. D. Lightbody of Chi-

SHAMROCKS ARE DEFEATED. The Whiting Shamrocks went to Cheltenham Sunday where they were defeated by the Cheltenham Colts to the tune of 3 to 2. Jack Hughes, who was pitching for the Whiting Grays, our first ball team, twirled for the Shamrocks and allowed but four hits, nothwithstanding the fact that he has not pitched a game of ball for five years. AYhen Hughes reached the Cheltenham grounds he remarked that this was the place he first learned to play ball, and he being now too old to play ball, it was where he would finish up. The first two runs made by the Colts were made on errors; the last run being made in the ninth inning by a timely hit. A number of Whiting rooters accompanied the team and were much plased with the Whiting boys, especially the pitching of Hughes.

L0UGHREY BEATS UP MARL0. New York, July 13. Young Loughrey, the best boy of his weight in Philadelphia, gave Johnny Mario of this

city a terrible beating in a six-round fight at the Coliseum A. C. tonight. For months Mario has been claiming that

he could beat any lightweight in the

east, but the Quaker beat him all over the ring and when the bell rang In the final round the east sider was ready to

drop for the full count.

SULLIVAN WHIPS BEDELL.

New York, July 13. Paddy Sullivan

scored a clean victory over Joe Bedell in the star bout tonight at the Bed

ford A. C. Brooklyn. Sullivan obtained

the lead in the first round and was never in trouble. Just before the bell sounded for the finish of the battle Sullivan whipped over a left swing that sent Bedell to the canvas for a count

of five.

HAMMOND ROYALS ARE BEATEN,

Hopkinson Colts defeated the Hammond Royals by the score of 10 to 9. The batting of Klucker, Berg, Mulcahey, Johnson and the pitching of Box and the fielding of Mesbaner were the features of the game. The batteries were: Box and Pitcher, Hopkinson Colts; Hlnes and Curley, Hammond Royals.

She has no record whatsoever. At Pullman which has a half mile track, her owner has never asked her to step nearly as fast as she could. The fastest she has been this year is 2:14 over Pullman. In her trial of 2:14 Mr. McAleer asked her to step the last quarter which she did in :29. This is a 1:56 clip. Her owner has been offered on several occasions $1,500 but he values her at $5,000, and if nothing happens her she will undoubtedly be one of the greatest race mares that ever represented Lake county.

CONTEST TO DRAW BIG CROWDS

Tony Caponi of Chicago, Will Be the Local Middleweight's Opponent.

Carl Anderson In looking forward to his fight with Tony Caponi on Labor Day with the expectation, of giving the Italian the fight of bin life. Anderson say that the great dlffcuUy in the pant has been the fact that he ban had to train down to a

weinht o low that It greatly reduced hln effectiveness. This time he will fight at catch weight and he will be as strong as training will make him without going too far with the process of reducing weight. The boxing contest Is to be pulled off in Hammond and will be widely advertised throughout the whole region. Anderson said that he was anxious to secure some one who would be a "card" as a referee. Many Fans Expected. He has several people in mind, but he does not care to say much about them until he is sure he can get one or another. It Is understood that there will be a large number of fig,ht fans out from Chicago and Gary and the other neighboring cities. One of the drawing cards at the boxing contest will be the fact that the returns of the Gans-Nelson fight, which is to be held on Labor Day, will be received during the evening. This in itself will be a big attraction and will make the entertainment worth going to see. Carl Anderson goes into training today and he expects to be in fine fettle before his go witli Caponi. Caponi is one of the toughest fellows in the game at his class and If the Hammond man can make a showing with him he is sure to he able to get some more good fights. The $250 forfeit has already been posted and Anderson is willing to let that amount stand as a side bet if Caponi is willing. TSe gate receipts will be divided, 75 per cent to the winner and 25 per cent to the loser.

BENEFIT FOR JAKE SCHAEFER. Chicago, 111., July 14. Jake Schaefer, the wonderful wizard of the billiard cue, whom the wheel of fortune for some time has been carrying downward, received a handsome tribute from his admirers today. The former billiard champion has been sick for some time and when his friends learned of his circumstances they promptly decided ot give him a benefit. The affair

I took place this afternoon and consisted of two baseball games, one between ' picked teams of actors and billiard

Battling Nelson is expected at Hegewisch soon. His mother received a letter from the elder Nelson in which the father said that they were coming home this week. It is understood that "Bats' " neighbors are planning a great celebration to welcome the conquering hero and there will be a big time in the village when the Dane comes home. "Bat" Is finding it hard to get away from his friends in the west, but he is

anxious to see his mother and the rest of the family anjl the return will be made as soon as possibje. Nelson made a big pile of money in his last fight and he expects to make as much more when ho takes on Gans on Labor day. This will leave him independently wealthy and he does not care whether or not he fights any more. Mrs. Nelson is prouder of her boy than ever and can hardly wait until he returns. Nelson will be glad to greet all of his old friends again, but says that he expects to lead the simple life from now on. players and the other between two of the best known semi-prof essioual teams of Chicago. The American league park, where the games were played this afternoon, was scarcely able to accomodate the crowd that sought admitance. Schaefer was taken ill nearly a year ago and his condition is such that he never will be able to play a championship game again. He is fifty- three years of age and has been a professional billiard player for thirty-five years. When in his prime he was without at peer at the "gentlemen's game." His first professional appearance was in a game with George Slosson at Indianapolis in 1S73. on which occasion he was beaten 50 to 381. The first professional tournament in which he took part was played in Tammany hall in New Tork in 1876. when he won two out of six games at straight rail billiards. At Cooper Institute thre years later he won the championship by defeating Slosson, Gamier, Sexton and other of the famous cue experts of th.it day. Schaefer is one of the veterans of the sporting world. Thirty years ago when he was holding his first championship honors John L Sullivan was preparing for his match with Joe Goss; Dan O'leary had just made a 100-mile professional record as a pedestrian and Edward Hanlon. the champion oarsman, was in his prime. Schaefer survived in active service all of these and many more. Crippled and almost maime from rheumatism and accidents, and compelled to change his stroke because of physical infirmaties, he continued up to the time of his present Illness to play the ost perfect nursing and masse game known and at the time he was taken to his bed he was matched to play George Sutton for the 18.1 balkline championship.

East Chicago, Ind., July 14. (Special) Fred Daniels, Frank Williams and John A. Jones, the East Chicago delegates of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin "Workers to the conference with the "Western Bar Iron association at Detroit last week, arrived home yesterday. The conference agreed on a new scale from 1908 and 1909 which seems to be pretty generally acceptable to the mill workers of East Chicago. The new scale Is a slight reduction from the one in force in 1906 and 1907. In 1867 and 1908 the men received an advance of from 5 to 7 per cent. This vas taken off together with about 2 per cent more. The puddlers, however, will get a slight advance over the 1906-07 rate but they are only ones who will, all the others getting a small decrease. The Republic people are expected to agree to the scale also and Ic is to be hoped they will and the mills started again. The conference went Into session
