f Philadelphia, Aug. 2. Chance and

his world's champions arrived here i ft early this morning from P,oston for a day of rest and recreation before start- t lng the hardest week of the season. Tomorrow they tackle Billy Murphy's t Phillies and as the Cubs and Quakers f. now are playink the fastest ball of an two teams In the league a desperate k series is expected. y The Cubs hope for four out of the five to be played in the four days' stay here, while the Phillies are predicting that they wil ltake three in five. Brown and McQuillan have been prepared especially for the opening game tomorrow and chances were regarded as the game already won. Many of the Cubs slept all morning, as they had a hard ride down from Boston and arriving at 6 a. m. Kling. Fraser, Marshall, Secretary "Williams. Hofman, Zimmerman, Sponberg and Howard ran down to Atlantic City for a swim in teh surf. Some of them bot back tonight. SOX GRAPPLE. Finding two hits in ten innings too slender a diet to win on those baffled Senators were thrashed into silence by teh Sox yesterday. Frank Smith never had his brawny arm in better shape, and much of the credit for the 2-to-l victory hangs on him. One truly single in the first and a scratch ditto in the second forms a brief summary of the hostiles' feasts at bat. It is really shameful the way Pat Dougherty breaks into the spotlight of late, and here he comes again. After making one hit in the fourth, which helped a lot in scoring the first run, he was deliberately passed twice by Bert Keely in succeeding rounds when a hit meant a run. But he literally forced the ex-Gunther whirler to stick one over the pan in the tenth inning. Only one was dead at the time, and first and second were occupied. Pat burst with might and main on the ball and drove in Hahn with the winning run. At that the Sox had several chances to rake in the goodies long before the tenth page was turned. Just when something seemed darkly imminent a double play or a pop to the infield would change the aspect. PITCHER WALSH OUT OF GAME, Injury to Arm From Thrown Rail Disables Sox Star Tlrler. Pitcher Ed "Walsh will not be able to play with the Sox for some time. "When he was hit on his left arm by Johnson in the "Washington game Fri day he partially lost the use of it. and yesterday he was unable to move it. The arm was swollen to twice its usual size and hurt and star "spit"' ball artist every time be moved. The loss of "Walsh at- this particular time is a severe blow to the Sox, as Ed has been winning more than his share of games, and could generally be depended on in a pinch. Luckily for the ex-champs, Frank Smith is back in the game and apparently better than ever. Otherwise it would be hard sledding for those Sox. BLACK OAK TRIMMED. The Blissemer Colts of "West Hammond yesterday trimmed the Black Oak team by a score of 13 to 12. The game was played at Black Oak. DYER WINS GAME. "Wind taken out of sail of the Steger team by Dyer boys with ease. Steger boys put up good game but form an easy mark. The ball game here Sunday afternoon between the Steger boys and Dyer was won by Dyer the result was 11 to 2. This is the fifth game won by Dyer for the season and brings them almost to the even mark as they have lost six. A large crowd was present to see the game. A ball team cannot very well exist without the necessary cash so our boys will hereafter demand gate money from those who wish to enter the grounds. The score by innings: Steger 0 0 1 0 0 0 Dyer 0 0 2 0 0 4 n o lli CARRIES HOME PLUM. The Schererville Juniors came over to Dyer Sunday afternoon to finish the game which resulted in a tie last Sunday with the Dyer Babes. The score was 19 to 16. SIMPLEX TEAM WINS. The terrible C, I. & S. Boilermakers went down in defeat last Saturday afternoon at th hands of the Simplex team by a score of 11 to 7. Skellenger, the Simplex shortstop, made a star play in the infield, snatching a high one from the air and nailing his man at first. DYER BEATS STEGER. Dyer, Aug., 3. (Special) Dyer's lusty bail team yesterday hung another scaln in their belt when they defeated the Steger by a score of 11 to 2. McMahan and Wagner formed the Dyer battery. They are Dyer's new timber and are certainly delivering the goods. SWITCHMEN'S TEAM WINS. Bobbie Wagner's aggregation, known as the Simplex. and the C., I. & S. switchmen, held the boards at Harrison Park yesterday afternoon and after a hard contest, Wagner's bunch went down in defeat, the score being 5 to 4. COLTS BEATS T0LEST0N. Six to three in favor of the Hammond Colts tells the tale of the gam between the Colts and the Toleston club yesterday afternoon. Dunsing and Vonich forme dthe battery for the Hammond team. Dunsing had good support, his men pullinr off three double plays during the game. The score is as follows: Colts 0 0 2 1 0 0 3 0 0 6 Toleston 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 03

1 - ?xrJ A&000 JTEjIZiT CROWN POINT W1HS THE MEET Fire Fighter Tournament Honors Go to the County Seat Saturday. WHmHBTEAM SORE AND QUITS ' Contestants In Tournament Exhibit Much 111 Feeling During the Day. Special to The Times Crown Point, Ind., Aug. 3. Notwith - standing the failure of many of the teams that were expected to come from Lowell, llobart, Valparaiso, etc., but who left Crown Point ungraciously in the lurch at the last minute. The Vol-! unteer fire department's tournament! held here Saturday, was a success in ' some respects and a failure in others. ! The weather was terrifically hot, and the people who stood around suffered considerably therefrom. I'nrarte Yln n Flue One. The parade in the morning, headed by Barnie Young's Hammond band, with the following teams: Crown Point, Kobertsdale and Whiting, followed by a line of decorated automobiles, was not up to expectations, owing to the above mentioned absence of the teams. Under the direction of "Win. Krinbill as marshal of the parade, the procession marched through the principal streets of the town and made a good appearance in their uniforms. At the ending of the parade the judges, i-rank n. Krinbill, George Strabel and Frank Wheeler made the decision as to the best appearance of the teams in the parade and an unconfirmed rumor had it that the laurels were won by Robertsdale which afterward proved to be true. Packed l"p and Went Home. The Whiting team heard of the reported decision, and here made one of the funniest stands ever known of here. and which has been the laughing stack I of the entire county ever since, also something they will never hear the last of. It is said that the Whiting team has gone to considerable expense in purchasing their uniforms and expected to make a killing in the "appearance contest" and when they heard the rumor that th prize had been awarded the Pobertsdale team, whose outfits cc st something in the neighborhood of three dollars, it was too much for them and they packed up their doll rags and went home. As Kobertsdale had the only team on the grounds to lenter the events, it was up to the local aggrejgation and the Robertsdale boys to amuse the crowd and some close and exciting races were then held in the afternoon on the public square and the spectators can feel satisfied that they witnessed the two best and fastest teams in the organization compete for the honors. The judges appointed were Wm. Timm, Robertsdale; John Wellesly. Whiting, and Fred Furman. Crown iPoint, and the official timekeepers were. " m. Griesdale, Rabertsdale; S. S. j Tanner. Whiting, and Ben. iCrown PoilltHesult of the II area. Hayes, The following is the result of the races and the time, which is the fastest ever made by the assooiaion. Champion Hose Ilnce Dry Run. First prize. $73, (silk banner); second prize, $35. Crown Point time, 1-24. Robertsdale time, u5 seconds. Crown Point entered a protest that the Robertsdale boys did not run the race in the same manner, they did but in the evening, the board allowed the race to Robertsdale and it is the consensus of opinion that they deserved it. Hook anil Ladder Race. First prize, $45 and trophy (silver trumpet); second prize, $20. Crown Point time, 20 seconds. Robertsdale time, 22 seconds. .... IJry Hose Test. First prize, $40 and trophy (aluminum fire hat); second prize, $20. Crown Point time, 26 seconds. Robertsdale time, 2SVi seconds. In the 100-yard foot race the two Crown Point firemen. Newman and Hyde, beat competitors from the Robertsdale and Lowell teams in hardy

(3000 TEjEjT' ' style, running the race in 11 seconds land winning the prizes of $10 and $20 j respectively. I The fireman's ball at Central Music hall in the evening drew an unusual ! crowd. Xotes. Barnle Young's band of Hammond was the only feature of . the day's amusement that came up to the expectation of the crowd and even they did not give their concert in the evening as advertised but there was plenty of excitement notwithstanding. The officers were kept busy all day keeping the course clear and the crowd in order. Several fights were narrowly averted. The saloons, refreshment stands, shooting galleries and soda water foun- ! tains reaped a harvest during the day 'and quite a little money was left in Crmvn Point by the visitorsi The most regrettable feature of the j -whole day was the fights started in the (evening by some of the men under the influence of liquor, and Crown Point, for a time resembled a border town, beyond the wildest dreams of imagination, at least three fights taking place ion thp pur,iic sr,Uare at once. One of ; t np partcipants who struck at Marshall Young, while he was trying to separate them, was taken before Judge Fisher and fined to the extent of 1 and costs. It is generally conceded that this will wind up all contests of this nature in tlle future. GREAT GAMEAT HARBOR Bankers, Professionel Men and Business Men Meet in Combat. Indiana Harbor. Aug. 3. (Special) If you didn't see the game of ball Saturday between the skilled mechanics and the bankers, merchants and professional men, you missed it. There probably have boon better games of ball played from a scientific standpoint, but no one expected science to cut in large chunks Saturday. The B. M. P. M. were altogether too much for the S. M. City Father Monroe Sohoek lasted five innings, as pitcher for the S. M's and did very well, that is, he only allowed seven runs and ten hits during his reign on the slab, to say nothing of a couple of balks. At the end of the fifth innings Frank Schock, who had been playing third- ! tox ana tnougni ne count no Doner ! himself. The enemy amassed four runs 'off of Frank's shoots. Citv Father E. V. Walton didn't seem to make a great hit as a first-baseman with the captain of his side either, for he was chased off of the initial sack i,n" '""" l" ""l-"r,u I 3 , J fila ... I. 41 chances were lower ana me excuses better. Chick of Joe Long team of Hammond, did pretty well at short and Stress out in center-field nailed everything that came his way. For the B. M. Ps, Doctor F. E. Stephens pitched a good game, Buhring being the only man of the opposition to score in the nine innings. Mortens caught him all right too. Ericson played first without a error, although back-stopping is his long suit. Egbert on second, Witt at short and Robinson on third formed the balance of a stonewall infield that nothing could get through. When it comes to running bases though Nick Fox has got them aid skinned. No date was set for a return game, but undoubtedly the two teams will nave one. The score was B. M. and Ps, 11; S. Ms. 1.-' The following is thfi lineup: B. M. Ps. Mertotn, Stephens, Ericson, Witt. Egbert, Robinson, Stensberg. Fox and Lake. S. Ms. M. Shock, Marwick, Buhring, Walton, Chuck, F. Schock, Collins. Struss and Bauer. Umpire Matt Stunburg. poorer H. Nellis. IGRANEY LIKELY TO REFEREE. Eddie Graney is practically certain to be the referee of the next Gans-Nelson fight. 'Although no official announcement has been made by the club management to this effect, Gans has already agreed to the San Francisco blacksmith being the third man in the ring, and Wlllus Britt. acting for Nelson, also approves his appointment. Nelson starts this morning with his father, his brother and Tommy Ryan for Benton Harbor, where he will visit Ryan's peach orchard. He will give a boxing exhibition with Ryan at South Bend tomorro wevening. He returns to this city Wednesday morning and departs Wednesday night for New Mexico, where he will spend a few days hunting near Perry.

6000 F'&JELT CHAMPS GETTWO IRE Lowell Oaklands Continue Their Winning Streak Yesterday. Lowell, Ind., Aug. 3. (Special) The Oakland parks have two more victories to their credit. Last Saturday they journeyed to Wheatfield to play the crack team of that berg. The Wheatfields have the reputation of being one of the strongest teams in Northern Indiana and up to the seventh inning had the Oaklands stepping sideways. Up to tills inning they had the Oaklands trimmed, but as is always the case they took on a batting streak and proceeded to run the score up to 4, while the wheatfield made 2 more In the ninth, making their count ), and thus the game ended. Following is the score by Innings and summaries: Oaklands 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 4 Wheatfields 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 23 Batteries: Oaklands Irwin and Yates. Wheatfield Anderson and Gurner. Struck out By Irwin, 5: by Anderson, 3. Hits Off Irwin, 4; off Anderson, 5. Bases on balls Off Irwin, 0; off Anderson, 4. Errors Lowell, 0; Wheatfield, 3. Two-base hits Lynch, McNeal. Three-base hit Lynch. There was nothing to the game between Rensselaer and, the Oaklands, which was played Sunday on the home grounds only a big score, all of which was in favor of the locals who run in their men over the home plate in squads of one, two, and three at a time. and if it had been any more we would have said so. Dobbins, the famous second for the Oaklands last season, was in the box for the visitors. He had six errors behind him, while Irwin, Oakland's star pitcher, only had three. In the fourth inning McNay, Oakland's star left-fielder was hit by a pitched ball over the temple, knocking him to the ground and for the balance of the game. His position was filled by G. II. Brothenson of the First Regiment team of Chicago. The accident sent a wave of sadness over the player and all the spectators, but they soon recovered and the game was completed with the following very thrilling score: Rensselaer 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 Oaklands 2 0 0 2 1 0 3 7 15 Batteries: Rensselaer Dobbins and Wilcox. Oaklands Irwin and Yates. Hits Off Irwin, 9; off Dobbins, 10. Struck out By Dobbins, 6; by Irwin, 5. Bases on balls Off Irwin. 0; off Dob bins, 2. Three-base hits ates. Twobase hits Dobbins, Walters.

C. ball team of Chicago came to Hobart yesterday to play the White Sox and were given an unmerciful trimming, the score resulting 25 to 3 In favor of Hobart. Besides a home run by H. Kossow, three 3-base hits were made by tbe Sox. A good crowd witnessed the game. Batteries: Hobart D. Melin and G. Tree. Chicago Stipe and Nesbit. LAP0RTE, 4; VALPARAISO, 1. LaPorte, Ind., Aug. 2.

Owen Moran has reached the city and the British feather-weight has taken the quarters secured for him at Millet's place. Attell and he will hold a conference shortly to decide on a referee, and Jack Welsh is the man expected to be chosen. It was at first planned to have Jeffries officiate, but the latter sent word that the bouts in his own club would keep him busy about that date. C0UL0N DOWN TO WEIGHT. Johnny Coulon, the bantam champion, is said to be down to weight for his bout with Young Joe Gans at Waukegan next Friday. He has made a specialty of road work on the roads near Genoa,

A SF.R1ES OF TEN TALKS ON written by Seymour Eaton

A story is told of a prisoner who called the judge i a fool. The judge fined him $10. He paid the fine, but asked: "Do you fine people for thinking, your Honor?" The judge answered in the negative, i "Well," he said, "I think you're a fool still." If I should print my personal opinion of some big

advertisers like as not I'd

safe to think. If a traveler came to you and talked of the stuff which his house prints as advertising you would put , him down at once as an idiot. The talk is unnatural; sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal ; unreal, insincere, dead. The reader feels that it isn't the advertiser who is talking ; that there really isn't anybody talking ; that the words are

just printing. Good advertising is good talk ; the frank, honest kind that convinces. An advertisement of one hundred words should make the reader think five thousand words; and herein is the whole secret of good copy. It isn't what, you say that counts but the chain of thought which your advertising creates. The more you fuss over your advertising copy the poorer the result. It isn't a job to stutter about or to apologize for or to burn midnight oil over. If you want to make an advertising hit all you need to do is to talk to the reader of the newspaper as you talk across the counter to a customer.

Two Irishmen chased

went up to shake him off while Mike remained below to catch him when he fell. Both were successful, but Mike and the wild-cat were soon in a rough and tumble scrap below. Pat called out "Shall Oi come douwn an' help you howld him, Mike?" "Nawl Begorra, come douwn, Pat, an' help me let him go."

Advertising is a wild-cat up a tree. Once you have shaken him off , the problem of "letting go" is quite as difficult as the problem of "howlding on." But what you need in either case is nerva; and a reasonable assurance regarding the future. It rarely pays to splurge. Make your appropriation deliberately and carefully. Prepare good copy. Advertise continuously; every day or at least every week. Your store is the seed or the plant. The advertising is the rain and the sunshine. You cant rush the growth. It may take weeks or months to produce flowers or fruit.
