With a few more hustling veterans like "Wee Willie Keeler to help combat the first division quartet, there might still be a chance for those muchmaligned Yankees. Chipper Bill pranced about like a yearling in the South Side feed lot yesterday and did his work so well that the White Sox were put to their finest endeavors to cop the second game of the series by the tight margain of 4 to 3. In fact. Bill's achievements were about the ..only meritorius features to the affair, which dragged along in monotonous fashion until the eighth, when a near-rally came within an ace of upsetting the home athletes. Old Scout B1U was in the thickest of the uprising, with his second hit and stolen base, but rugged fielding effectually stamped out the insurrection and sent the pugnacious Mr. Elberfeld to the dinner scrappier than ever. CUBS' DAY OFT. Waterbury, Conn., Aug. 9. The world's champion Cubs took a day off today and picknicked at "Waterbury, Conn.,' where they kicked the main spring out of "Waterbury by the score of 5 to 1. The game was more comedy than baseball, the Cubs giving a grand exhibition of horse play and baseball combined. But it was so chock full of clever and fast work that the crowd was as pleased as if the "Watchmakers had licked the champs. MISCELLANEOUS BALL GAMES, At Peru, Ind. Peru, 3; South Bend Spiros, 3.

(Special) The LaVendors, Whiting's big team. yesterday had vengeance on the Toleston team and took it into camp and de feated them by a score of 6 to 1. Bill Kunert's aggregation was the first to send the LaVendors down in defeat this season, having done this several weeks ago in a thirteen innings game by a score of 4 to 3. Since then the La endors have grown some and wore able to deliver the goods yesterday. They played an errorless game. Stew art struck out 11 Toleston men -and Clem, the Toleston pitcher, struck out Whiting men. The game was played at the White House grounds.--HUBS ARE BEATEN. The Hammond Hubs and the C, I. & S. bollermakers played one of the neat est and cleanest games at Harrison park yesterday that has been played there for some time. The local team was defeated by the score of 2 to 0 be fore a crowd of several hundred fans. Walter and Boyle did the battery work for' the C, I. & S. team and Love, Ebner and Hudson for the Hubs. Mc Carthy of the C. I. & S. team scored a three-base hit, but otherwise the game was devoid of sensational features. The score: Hubs 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 C. I. & S 1 0010000 0DYER LARRUPS WHITECAPS. The White Caps From Griffith Lose Game By a Score of 22 to 0. Dyer, Ind., Aug. 10 (Special) The game Sunday afternoon between the White Caps of Griffith and the Dyer team, resulted in a victory for Dyer by a score of 22 to 0. The game was fair throughout and would have been played without a hitch had it not been for one of the outside rooters, who insisted slinging insulting remarks at the umpire, causing him to quit In the sixth inning. A player from Griffith took his place. The Grijth players admitted having received fair decisions throughout the game. A large number of visitors were present.

This is "W. J. Bryan's educated mule. candidate by B. F. Nelson of Minneapolis, I OF G. il GAME Hammond Boys Handily Trim Opponents Yesterday in Good Game. The Hammond K. C's yesterday won by a nose over the Calumet council, which had traveled from Chicago to Hubbard p?rk yesterday. In ti.o fifth inning the score was 5 to 5 and in the seventh the local boys score one more. The visitors, however, tied this score again in the ninth, which was off-set by another score by the local boys, th-ns leaving them in the leud by a score of 7 to 6. The first few innings lacked snap and sharp playing. The pitcher that the visitors brought along was easy and the locals touched him for gers right along until the two -bag-manager took him out of the box. Hill In the Box. ( Hill pitched for the home team and at the beginning made several throws to bases that left the runners safe. The visitors had score two runs on him and after that he tightened the screws. Klitke did the mit work for the home boys and done good work, both behind the bat and with the bat. Jim Carroll played first, and while he was guilty of several errors, he carried of the honors with the stick. Chnrley Gainer covered second and through quick work he pulled off a double play. Dan Enrlght v played short and made several good catches. Halfman covered third and in addition to making sev eral assists fielded well in his territory. Humpfer sought oblivion in left field and he certainly got it, never a ball coming his way during the entire tire game. Dibos played in center and only one ball came his way, but he hung onto that for dear life, catching the batter out. Carlan Makes Good Throw. "Dinny" Carlan played in left and had only one chance, which he got after a long run. He thew to third and completed a double play. The score by innings was as follows: Unity Council 3 0 0 Z 0 1 0 0 l Calumet Council ..20030000 1 6 The game was played before 500 peo ple, which was worth less tnan a in gate money. WILEY ON MOTOR CYCLE DOES 20 MILES IN 33:23. Syracuse Messenger Roy Defeats An. derson nnd Root at Passnle. Passiac, N. J., Aug. 9. George Wiley, the Syracuse messenger-boy, defeated Norman Anderson of Paterson and Eddie Root of New York City in the twenty mile motor pace race at the Clifton stadium this afternoon negotiating the distance in 33 minutes and 23 3-5 seconds. Root's pace went bad Just after the fourth mile was finished, Mitchell's machine breaking down. Eddie rode around the trark until another machine was put on and although it was a hopeless task to win, he finished and got third money. Fred Jones of this city rode a fine race in the five mile amateur event and won after a hard ride from Frank Eifler of Brooklyn. Charley Stein took the one-half mile handicap. FORBES AND HERMAN FOR A LABOR DAY ATTRACTION. Tommy Ryan Trying to Arrange a Bout at Benton Harbor. Tommy Ryan, eximiddleweight champion of the world, has offered a purse and percentage for Clearance Forbes and Kid Herman to battle before his club at Benton Harbor on Labor Day night, Sept. 7. As Ryan has already got the consent of Forbes, it only remains for the Ghetto champion to say the word and the match will be on. Forbes has already started work and will have as partners Johhny Coulon, the bantam champion; Jimmy McVickers and Bud Barron. Jim McCullen, who is acting as Clearance's financial backer, announced last week that he stood ready to post a forfeit of any part of $5,000, the same to go as a side bet, that Forbes can beat any man in the world from 124 to 128 pounds. If Ryan fails to get Herman for Clearence on Labor Day he will bring Matty Baldwin to take the place of the Kid. TELEPHONE TOUR IVEWS TO THE TIMES.

The Hammond Colts and the Indiana Harbor team clashed in more ways than one at Indiana Harbor last Sunday and the game broke up in a row when the Hammond team refused to play their half of the ninth inning because of a decision of the umpire. Dunsing and Vonish was the battery for the Colts and Ford and Galvin was the battery for the Indiana Harbor team. The, Indiana Harbor team was ahead in the seventh Inning when it had scored 6 runs to the Colt's 2, but in the ninth Inning the Colts rallied and secured 4 rounds which tied the score. Then came the umpire's decision, which the Colts claim robbed them of the game, and the contest was ended without the Colts finishing up their half of the ninth inning. The kick was made on the decision of Hughes, the Harbor umpire. Buhring was the umpire representing the Colts. Dunsing got a two-base hit, and stolen bases were made as follows: Mettler, 3; Koenig, 3; Johnson, 1. Colts 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 6 Ind. Harb 4 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 6 OLD STARS SHOW BURNSIDE UP NICELY. Whiting Grays la Fine Kettle at Their Reorganisation. The manner in which the Whiting Grays yesterday put the fringes on the Burnside ball team, showed that they have not forgotten anything of their former stride which made them famous. The final score was 12 to 6 in favor of Whiting which adds another notch to their big stick. The game was played at Burnside and the home team was constantly at the mercy of the visitors, The line-up for the Grays was as fol lows: Long, second base; Klose, catch er; Hughes, pitcher; Lampman, third base; Burnham, first base; Schrage, shorstop; Krieger, center field; Kinden, left field, and Krebbs, right field. NEWS STARS LOSE GAME. The News Stars dropped their last game to the Young Hubs on Sunday by a score of 13 to 4. Both sides did some poor playing. Buckeye Mouser did the pitching for the News Stars While Koehn did the pitching for the Hubs. There were 200 people who wit nessed the game. Ebert, first baseman of the Stars, got up to bat and knocked a foul ball, which hit H. Schwenke and broke his nose. The Hubs will play the Calumet Stars r.ext Sunday. Wisdom That Comes with Age. A puppy plays with every pup he meets, but an old dog has few asso ciates. Josh Billings. JIGGERS. Another pitcher who may be back with tbc big show next season Is Ambrose Puttmann, who spent some little time with the Xw York Americans. "Putt' Is the "fudge cake" with Louisville this season. Clark Griffith to manage the St. Ionls Cardinals. Perhaps managing the Highlanders caused "Griff" to fall in love with those strong tnll-end teams. Baseball scribes must dig Into their ancient records for a little dope on a newcomer. Rnmor has It tbnt Theodore Ureltenstein, the former St. I.ouls-Cln-cinnait pitcher and now the star slabman of the Southern league, Is booked once more for the 'majors. Xw that the Chicago Cubs have their regular lineup In the field again there Is bound to be some "doings." Those Pirates and Giants will learn how to behave. If the Boston Americans can keep up their present clip they will soon be Included among those present. One nice place among the first three before the ghost walks for the Inst time Is the dope of Manager McGulre.

COUNTY SEATWINS ONE Chicago Red Sox Beaten in an Interestig Game Yesterday.

Crown Point, Ind., Aug. 10. (Special) Replete with 'all the spectacular features that go toward delighting the heart of fandom, the baseball game between the Chicago Red Sox and Crown Point team, played on the grounds near the Erie depot, resulted in the defeat of the Chicago team by a score of 8 to 6 yesterday. A home-run by Henning in the sixth innings, with one man on baBe, practically won the game for Crown Point. H. Hanlon made a beautiful catch of a foul, running into the crowd for the ball. The work of Hyde in centerfleld was of the major league article, accepting repeatedly difficult chances and assisting in a put-out at home plate by a beautiful throw from deep center. An accident to Wirth, the Red Sox's first-baseman, in the sixth Inning when he was hit in the mouth by a thrown ball from Marx, resulted in his place being taken by W. Hanlon, a local man. Wirth lost a tooth by the hard rap and several more were loosened, compelling him to retire from the game., The Red Sox team came down very much strengthened, determined to get revenge for their defeat of some time ago to the tune of 10 to 2, and to say they were a chagrined and disgusted bunch of ball tossers last evening over their defeat, is putting it mild. Claussen, for the local team, played a great game, striking out nine of the visitors and pitching himself out of some dif ficult and dangerousholes. The line-up was as follows: Crown Point Kuschnick. Red Sox. Skelley , . . . . Wagner Wlrth-Hanlon Marx , Gube Meyer Gatz Gritke Pan 11 y . .3rdb., , . .ss. . . . .lstb. . .2ndb. B. Kindberg.. H. Hanlon. . . .

Fair femininity was much In evidence at the game and made themselves heard in no uncertain manner by their rooting. The manager of the Red Sox is sans egs, but that small matter does not deter him from enjoying life, getting around in good shape on two crutches and making his voice do the work of his legs. The manager is a good rooter. Wirth got a terrific smash in the mouth and Immediately began to spit teeth. Crown Point has its eyes on another game with the Joe Long Colts of Hammond, who beat them some time ago, and If they will not play for anyth'-ig but money, the necessary amount will be quickly raised. HAD EASY PICKINGS. The Martin Leaders of South Chicago had easy pickings yesterday afternoon when they played the Drager Bros, of South Chicago. The score was 9 to 2 in favor of the Martin Leaders. The game was played at Bessemer park. SIM0NETTES IN BIG WIN. Whiting, Ind., Aug. 10. Whiting's little crackerjack of a team, the Simonettes, yesterday gave the Zandona, S. C. team of Chicago, one run at the White House grounds to save that team the disgrace of going home with a shut out. i or themselves took 20 runs, a score so vneven that the Chicago team will never want to match up with the home team again. PAPKE FACES A HARD TASK. Boston, Aug. 9. Billy Papke Is to undertake a hard task the coming week, as he has agreed to try and knockout two men next Thursday. He has said that he can dispose of Frank Mantell and Mike Donovan in one night. Donovan has been fighting around the country and making a fair showing. Mantell, who is in charge of Manager Gatens of Chicago, has been doing reasonably well. The inclination here is to believe that Papke will have a hard time disposing of the men. Best Work at Fifty. In the industrial world it has hecome accepted that a man Is too old at 40, and the London county council works department decided last year not to engage men above 35. How is it in the Intellectual world? Despite all the evidences of precocity, Mr. Dorland arrives at a conclusion which gives an average of 50 for the master work of great men. T. P.'s Weekly. A Modern Convenience. A. British lord of the admiralty, whose knowledge of nautical details was limited, was recently taking his first trip in a rather leaky vessel, when he observed the men working the pumps. "Dear me!" he said, "I did not know you had a well on board, captain; but I'm really glad you have, for I detest sea water." Harper's Weekly. But Not Literally. It is related of a local preacher In a western town, who was to be absent from his pulpit a fortnight, that he recently announced after the sermon: "The preacher for next Sunday will be Mr. Blank, and the one for the Sunday after you'll find hanging up behind the door on the other side of the vestry."

Jill COFFROTH BOSS Owen Moran is Put Under Restrictions and "Cuts Out" Smoking. San Francisco, Aug. 9. Jimmy Coffroth has come forward In the position of an autocrat. Not only has he told Owen Moran to quit smoking, but he has made Abe Attell return to this city In a humble frame of mind and start his training at once. Furthermore, Abe was so thoroughly frightened by his little seance with the pugilistic dictator of Oakland and Colma that he apologized for fighting such men as Eddie Marino and others in the "bush circuit" of the north. Abe has promised to be good in future. If he had not done this, Coffroth would have selected some other man to send against his foreign "champs" in the feather-weight division. Attell is not overly popular here, and he seems to realize that he Is draw ing toward the end of his tether. He has stirred up so much feeling by his insisttence on conditions entirely fa vorable to himself and which give the other man no chance, that it does not appear as if he will be much of a drawing card in the near future. If he persists In these tactics. At present however, he is a warm favorite over Owen Moran, and probably will enter the ring with the odds at least 5 to 2 In his favor. Nature Versus Science. As long as aviators consider the wind their enemy, their aeroplanes must be regarded as being scien tifically defective. Birds utilize the wind when in the air and travel without even flapping their wings. Paris Eclair. The Hope of It.

It ends when he determines "I will interest them." Cupid's Lament. Men put off marrying till middle age, and then become so used to bache'.ordom that they end by never finding a wife at all.

Bernard Badly Injured at Aurora Popular in Crown Point. Crown Point, Ind., Aug. 10. (Special) W. G. Bernard, the young motor cvpIa rider, who was the prime favorite and hero of the day In the motor cycle races held here some time ago at the Fair grounds, In which he cleaned the platter In the principal races, had a close call from death at Aurora (111.) races on Saturday. Well Known Here. Young Bernard, riding a Harl-v-Davidson machine, and traveling at a terriffic pace In the five-mile race, the race in which he figured so success fully here, ran into the fence surrounding the oval, and received severe Injuries. Young Bernard is well known by several Crown Pointers. A Bad AcHdrat. After skidding along the ton rail of the fence surrounding the oval and crashing through a portion of the fence, Bernard, bleeding from several ugly wounds, calmly remounted his motor cycle and resumed the contest. The shock unnerved him, however, and he failed to qualify for the final. The accident happened as Bernard was taking one of the turns at top speed, and the machine, slipping from beneath the rider, hurled him agalnut the rail, where his arm served as a trolley, guiding him for a distance of twenty-five feet along the side of the fence before he dropped to the track. In another heat of the same race Hinckley, a Thor rider, was hurled from his machine when a tire burst. Hinckley escaped with out a scratch. Freddie Huyck, who was also the star of the meet, is known In Crown Point also, having ridden here several i times. An Important Advantage. The man who is a stepfather has one important advantage. His wife can't set up the claim that the children inherited all their disagreeable traits from him. Where Line Is Drawn. Even the most sublime and poetic love of which woman's heart is capable cannot survive the combination of a purple shirt and a red neck scarf. French Colonies. It Is noted that, while the French colonies are fast becoming an outlet for the overflow population of other nations, they are constantly growing more French. Jeaiou Man.
