Rube Vickers. the elongated flinger who bowled through a sixteen-innlng battle at Philadelphia not many moons ago, losing to Ed Walsh, came back with a vengeance yesterday, holding the White Sox to three hits, while the athletic pal scopped a 2-to-l victory. The pitched balls all bearing Doc White's own inimitable brand sailed over the plate in such a position that the hitter reached second unmolested. The dentist thereupon sidled to the bench, making room for Frank Smith. The piano juggler put a crimp in the enemy, although one red-hosed runner, towit. E. Collins, who had landed on second after a mighty smack during White's brief regime, scored before the penitent had settled into his tride. With a handicap of two runs staring him in the face, Smith buckled down to his task and chocked further outbursts in handy style. Class A fielding by the Sox quelled an incipient uprising in the seventh after three Athletics had lit on the sacks and nobody in the morgue. In that hair-rising session two hits and a pass jammed the cushions with the top of the hitting bunch on the approach. A perfect throw to the plate by Fielder Jones on Eddie Collins' fly held the runners tight, an dwith the original trio still buzzing around In earnest endeavors to advance the Inning closed amid a fast double play. CUBS AND SUPERBAS SPLIT. New York, July 27. Chicago and Brooklyn split honors in a double-header today. Chicago winning the first game. 3 to 1, in brilliant style and tossing off the second after seeming to have it won. The score was 6 to 5. Jordon's terrific hitting really upset the game, his two home drives over the right field fence yielding Brooklyn's first three runs. Then on the next time up Lungdren gave him a pass, filling the bases, and Lumley", when called to bat for Sheehan, cleared the bases with a long double to right center that gave Brooklyn the majority. The Cubs played the best ball they have in six weeks, putting up a brilliant dashing game, and they carried the fight to Brooklyn all the time, until luck and Lumley upset them unexpectedly in the eighth Inning of the second game. A GENTLE ROAR FROM T0LEST0N Toleston Ind., July 27. Sporting Kditor: The Clarke Station White Sox were again beaten by McKee's Colts of Toleston. The Colts had their umpire stand

ing up for them, and kicked on onejered to see the fight

Detroit, July 27. Racers of the Grand Circuit had their inaugural at the fair grounds this afternoon, the feature of the opening day being the sensational performance of Jack Leyburn. who won the free-for-all troit in straight heats and set a new two heat race record for geldings in so doing. The event was best two out of three heats and the time was 2:05,'2 and 204 Vi respectively. Conditions for the opening day were feet and a big crowd turned out to see the races. The free-for-all trot was the feature of the card and Jack Leyburn seemed to be favorite with the throng. Margaret O. was also well liked, while Wilkes Heart, on the strength of some of his last year's per formances, had a good following. Oro was the remaining starter. WANTS UNH0LZ TO BOX PACKEE John Reld Bobs Up in Idaho AYIth Offer of a Purse for Battle. Boston, July 27. John Reid, man ager of the Sand Point club of Sand Point, Md., has written to Rudolph Unnoiz asmng mm u ne win accept a bout with Packie McFarland in case of victory in the twelve-round bout with Harlem Tommy Murphy here tomorrow night. Reid savs he can afford to offer a purse of $10,000 and thinks McFar land will accept. Unholz is not disturbed by the reports of Murphy's speed and smiles at the thought that the easterner can knock him out. He thinks that Murphy may hold a slight edge in the early stages, but believes he can win easily by closing fast when he gets in his tride. POLICE STOP PAPKE-BTJRKE GO. Big Crowd Gathers Before Bluecoata Issue Order of Stoppage. New York, July 27.

NELSON BOYS BEER

FOR HEGEWISCH MOB

Champion Makes a Speech; Says Town Will Never Be Called Burnham. Battling Nelson returned to Hegewisch (Burnham) last night, at last a world's champion in his efforts to win the lightweight title, the most coveted of all pugilistic prizes, pfrhaps, not even excepting the heavyweight championship crown. The "Durable Dane" landed in the Illinois burg just at supper time, and though he was not expected for an hour or two later, quite a delegation was on hand when the "mayor," beam ing with the thoughts of again being among those dearest to him, stepped from the train. The news of Bat's arrival traveled like wildfire through the village, and in a short time he was surrounded by a cheering mob of at least 500 men, women, and children. Bat showed that he appreciated the welcome by ordering three large barrels of beer, all of which was speedily consumed. Nelson made a speech in which he declared Hegewisch was Hegewisch and not Burnham, that it always would be Hegewisch and that he was running the town and would continue to run it. The crowd yelled its approval. The Dane Fools 'Em. When Nelson left Chicago the last time one could not have found a half doben fans in the country who thought lie had a chance on earth to defeat Gans.- It was supposed he was down and out physically as a result of the abundance of punishment he had received in his many battles and that the time was near when he 'would be relgated to the ranks of the has beens. "Poor Bat!" everyone exclaimed at the thoughts of his facing the negro cyclone. But "Poor Bat" won and came home with the huckleberries yesterday resplendent in a pair of mushroom ears and enough rocks on his person to make the famous Kohinoor appear cheap by comparison. Nelson talked freely of his victory over Gans and their coming forty-five round fight which will be held at San Francisco on Admission day, Sept. 9. He said: Says Gans Is Easy. "I whipped Gans twice and I will do it again on Sept. 9. That forty-five round route looks good to me, and while it will enable Joe to keep away from me perhays longer than he did in our last battle, it will give me an opportunity to clean him up more thoroughly than ever before. "If he comes to me like he did on July 4 the fight will be over in a hurry. but he learned a lesson that day, and next time I look for him to try every thing in the blocking and sidestepping line he knows. But, what's the dif ference, I will get him in the long run and you can bet he will hit the resin for the full count before the twentieth round is reached. "Gans cannot hurt me. He knows it and it takes all the starch out of him. He is game, all right, but when his heavy swings have no effect it weakens him. In our last fight I felt him growing weaker and weaker as the battle progressed, and we were not fighting three rounds before I knew I would take his title from him. Decries "Lay Down" "Yarn. 'That yarn that Gans lay down was hatched In San Francisco by a bunch of knockers that hated to admit that I was the better man. They did not think I had a peek-in before the fight, and knew of no other way to let them selves down easy. Gans will 'lay down again on Sept 9, just as he did last time but it will be only from the walloping he will receive." Nelson will be tendered a banquet by the Danes of Chicago at Northwest hall Friday night. HUGO KELLY DOWN TO WEIGHT Manager Ferret! Says He Could Get to 134 Pounds If Necessary. San Francisco, July 27. Hugo Kelly will have no trouble in getting down to weight for his bout with Stanley Ket chel. This was announced today by Manager FeTreti, who said that his man was already at weight and that he could get down to 154 if necessary. Eddie Hanlon and Joe Reilly, who helped him to train for the Murphy bout, are working with Kelly. George Peterson does most of the sparring with the Chicago man, however, and as he is strong and a good mixer at close range he is a handy man for Kelly to use in wrestling about the ring. Kelly is going a good deal of gymnasium work, so as not to strain his arm. It was agreed that the weighing in should be at Harry Leap's billiard parlors. Trainer Billy Rogers has given out the statement that Ketchel is working like awell-oiled machine. Promoter Luke Maritsch has asked that both men put on the gloves and go through some sparring, so that the public can get an idea of their exact form. Kelly complied with this request at a public exhibition today. Word was received here today from friends of Jimmy Brltt, who is now touring England that he has signed up for engagements at several London music ahlls and will protract his stay across the pond. BLACK OAK WINNERS. Black Oak, July 27. Sporting Editor: The Black Oak Colts defeated the Gary Standards by the score of 17 to 2. The Standards got only two hits off of Myers. The Colts play the Blissemer Colts Aug. 2. SAM COOK, Manager. CHALLENGE FROM WHITING. Whiting, Ind., July 28. Sporting Editor: The St. John Athletics of Whiting defeated the Harbor Juniors by a score of 12 to 6. The Harbors had easy

sailing untU the sixth Inning when we statred out to win the game. Pataky singled to right and then our star pitcher knocked out a home run over the walk and five more runs were put over the plate making the score 7 to 5 in our favor, and in the next two innings we made the Harbors look like nothing. The feature of the game was the pitching and hitting of young Scholtz and Andy Pataky and the fielding of Juncey Fred. We desire games with all 16 to 17 years old teams. Address John Kasperns, P. O. Box 481, Whiting Ind.

SPORTING BRIEFS. Tom MeCathy of the Boston Nationals Is leading the pitchers of both major leagues. Tom has won five games and lost none. Ernie Diehl is plnying fine ball for Toledo and playing for fun. Dlehl is wenthy and refuses to accept pay for his service. For the first time since the Ameri can league was organised the National league is furnishing a swell pennant race. If winning the National league pen nant depended up on the Chicago Cubs taking a series from New York would Charlie Murphy buy another flag-pole f By winning thirty-two out of fortysix games the Providence team landed on top In the Eastern league race. When the '-Clam Diggers" started their spurt they were in Inst place and In deep. Jack McCarthy, the former BrooklynChicago player, Is paddling about on a pair of crutches, having twisted his ankle In a recent game. But Jack is smiling, nevertheless, as his Springfield team has a good lend In the Three-1 league race. Hitting three three-baggers In one game and each time being put out at the plate in trying to stretch the hits Into homers is the stunt performed by Doyle of the Utlca (N. Y.) team recently. Detroit at the top and New York at the bottom in the American league race. Could anything prove more conclusively that baseball Is strictly on the level. Several class A cities have Detroit beat when It conies to attendance, while the Ainerlcnn league grounds In New Y ork wouldn't be able to accommodate the crowds should the Highlanders ever be able to roost at the top.

Train Takes Many Republicans to Cincinnati Where Indiana Will Help Notify Taft.

(Special to The Times). Indiai.apolis, July 2S. The oxperit n e of the republican party managers in seeking to get up a crowd to go to Cincinnati for the Taft notification has convinced them that no such tiling as upnthy exists in the Indiana republican rinks. The best hopes of the I managers were Imore than realized. When it was first suggested that a special train be run for the accommodation of Iloosiers wishing to join in the celebration it was feared that the hot weather and the expanse at this season of vacations, etc., might prevent. But the managers soon found

The Columbia club sent a young men in the country, doubled this hundred !nd the Marion club, which is said to be one of the best clubs ' f number. The McKinley club. Northwestern club. South Side club. West Indianapolis club, etc., were all included. The Marion club's drum and bugle corps made things lively at the start. Negroes, who. according to democratic managers, are very much dissatisfied this year, were present a hundred strong. The brass band of the Iron league vied with the drummers and buglers of the Marion club and the fife and drum corps of the Sumner league vied with both. The train was lavishly decorated. .Many Go From Rushvtlle. Stops were made at Rushville, Connersville and Liberty for delegations from those places. One hundred joined the train at Rushville, the home city of James E. Watson, candidate for govei nor. The Hoosiers' schedule provided for arrival at Cincinnati at 11 o'clock. They were to establish headquarters at the Roosevelt club in Fourth street and prepare immediately for the big parade which was the event of the afternoon. At 4 o'clock Mr. Taft was to have a personal conference with the republican editors of Indiana. Important plans for the campaign were to be discussed with the men who mould public opinion. Demand For Tickets Great. The success of the special train has dissipated whatever fear concerning apathy may have existed. The demand for tickets was greater than the supply and the enthusiasm of those ernor Guild. Mayor Hibbard, Dean Richardson of the Harvard medical school and President Hamilton of Tuffs college.

making the trip was wonderful. The state managers think that the trip with its pleasurable features will serve as a powerful stimulant. Frank Hitchcock, republican national chairman, got a glimpse of Indianapolis last evening and that part of Indianapolis, which happened to be at the Union station, when the Knickerbocker went through, got a glimpse of him. he chairman was on his way from Chicago to Cincinnati for the Taft celebration. Not Afraid of Result. "Everything is in fine shape," ha said in response to a query, "and we the middle west in lining up for aft and Sherman." The republican state committee Is ' s J 5''"1 imign ui education it nas ever aitempted. Literature by the barrel is carefully prepared that it may be perused with interest and profit by the conscientious and doubtful voters. Song books, souvenir postcards, buttons and other novelties are being dis tributed by the thousands. Incidentally the state committee is building up the party organization. County and district chairmen are being instructed how to iron out rough places and tighten loose spots. Editors and party workers are also being called In far reports and instructions. Officers of the state committee declare that tha organization this year will be tha strongest and most effective ever formed in Indiana. It Tickles Hitchcock. It is recalled with pleasure by the party managers that Chairman Hitchcock at the Chicago conference of state chairmen and secretaries of tha middle west declared that the Indiana organization was the strongest and its plan the best in existence, but the mangagers are not resting on past laurels, hey are determined to make the organization still better and to raise it stil several notches In the estimation of the national chairman. Hitchcock was delighted with what he heard from Indiana. He praised James P. Goodrich, state chairman, and Carl W. Riddick, secretary of the state committee, and had them tell the other state chairmen and secretaries how to form an organization such aa the one in this state. The Indiana idea was adopted and Hitchcock intrusted the chairmen and secretaries of the other states to study the Hoosier plan and practice it. Goodrich and Rlddlck were justly proud of the distinction won by them at the conference. LABOR NEWS In its efforts to spread the union label in Los Angeles. Cal., the bakers' union of that city has offered a prize of $10 to the person who shall bring to the office of the union the greatest number of bakers' labels, and one of $5 to the one bringing in the second largest number. The labels must have been used on union-made loves. In order to furnish work to as many members as possible, the Italian stone mason's union, numbering 3,000 members, in Greater New York, has made what it calls an "emergency rule," whereby contractors are permitted to employ a force for only one week on a given contract.
