PRESIDENT TO SEE ATHLETES.
Olympic Team Will Visit Executive
Next Monday Llpton Sends 300. New York, Aug. 24. President Roosevelt today notified the local committee in charge of the reception to the American team of Olympic athletes that he would be glad to have the members of the team visit him at Sagmore Hill Monday next, Aug. 31. He also notified
really Improved or whether the claim of Burns that he was handicapped by a cold is correct, the fact remains that the Australian made a good showing against the so-called world's champion. Burns did not enter the ring in a condition which would arouse any applause. He was heavy and soggy looking, and did not seem to have trained for the bout. Squires, on the contrary, appeared In fine fettle. Difference In condition of the men
showed most strongly In the sixth and seventh rounds. In the sixth the men swapped punches, and both were bleeding when the gong rang at the end. In the seventh Burns was compelled to dodge and sidestep and Squires fol
lowed him about, sending straight
blows to his face. The eighth also saw Squires landing some good punches.
Burns bled freely in the tenth, and in
the eleventh Tommy actually staggered
to his corner. At this point it seemed
as if the Australian had more than a fair chance of winning. In thetwelfth Squires showed that his fast work had tired him, and Burns went at him like a flash. He had Squires acting on the defensive at tne end of the round and gave him no rest in the thirteenth. In this, the final and deciding round, he opened the period by flooring Squires with a right swing to the jaw. Bill took the count of nine and Burns put him down again as he arose with a short uppercut to the chin. He again took the count of eight and arose swaying, and a right to the Jaw
!by Burns ended the affair.
Squires' seconds threw a sponge in the ring just as Referee Nathan counted ten.
GOODMAN AT WEIGHT,
DEPARTS CEDAR LAKE.
Wolgast, His Opponent for Tonight, Said to Be in Trouble Reducing. Danny Goodman, who meets Ad Wolgast tomorrow night at Racine, came up from his training quarters at Ceda'r Lake last night, and will go to the Wisconsin town today. Wolgast is said to have had considerable trouble making the weight, while Goodman reached
it handily. The little Chicago Hebrew is at weight and is wild to win, as a
victory means a chance' to steal half a dozen food matches now in Wolgast's possession.
Walter Parker, who boxes Jimmy
Ciabby in the semi-final, will go to Ra
cine with Goodman. The Parker-Clab-
by bout ought to be fully as fast as the wlndup.
SPORTING BRIEFS.
Pitcher Spade continues to win for Cincinnati and looks to be the star of the Redleg bunch. With Swaclna, the former Pittsburger, at first base, the Louisville team looks good for the American association pennant. Young Kid McCoy, who used to box around St. Louis, writes from Burlington, Iowa, that he has joined the SellsFloto show and would like to have chal-

The white sox took the measure of the red sox again this afternoon by a score of 6 to 4, making it three straight. "Doc" White beat the Bostonians unassisted, but It took him Just about as long as it did for the three pitchers to perform the feat in the last two games. For two hours and teu minutes the struggle continued, but at no time was the Chicago title to the game in great danger. Jim McGuire tried to experiment on the Comlskeyites by sending Joe Wood, his recently acquired youngster from Kansas City, to the slab at the start, and Jones and his men made the best of their opportunities before he was yanked off the mound to give Steele a chance. Wood lasted only four innings.
but the sox made all of their runs off
aim, ana an xney naa to ao witn Steele was to play a defensive game.

CUBS TAKE ANOTHER.
With Boss Chance suspended for doubtful compliments paid to Umpire Rudderham last Saturday, the cubs took a 4 to 2 fall out of Brooklyn yesterday. Jim Sheckard led the charge and showed keen judgment. He used two
emergency hitters and three pitchers to overcome a lead of 2, which the dodgers secured In the fifth. Pflester. Fraser and Overall performed on the slab, all of the foe's tallies being made of Jack In the busy fifth. It was an important day in old league circles, but the general outcome was unfavorable to the cubs' slender chances of bagging a pennant. Over in Pittsburg the giants won a doubleheader and Jumped into the lead. It is the first time this season that McGraw's gang has been out in front, but it promises to be an uphill Job to get them out of there. They are three games and a half ahead of the cubs and if they should win only one more game at Pittsburg and then lose two out of three here, they still would leave the West asead of Chance's people. With a big majority of their remaining games to be played on the Polo grounds, where thev!
are all but invincible, it is plain to see that the cubs and pirates are up against an awful game.
the committee that he had requested the Navy department to arrange for the participation of contingents from the naval service and marine corps in the parade of Saturday, Aug. 29, in this city. The telegram to Secretary McLaughlin of the committee was as follows: "Telegram received. The President has requested the Secretary of the Navy to send out the marines and bluejackets Saturday. He will gladly see he athletes on Monday. Please let me know what hour will be most convenient for
them to arrive and how many there will be in the party. "RUDOLPH FORSTER, Act. Secretary." Sir Thomas Lipton today sent $300 to the fund for welcoming home the American team of Olympic athletes. Fifteen battalions of the regiments of Greater New York will take part in the demonstration.

PHILADELPHIA CRICKETERS WIN. Sunderland, England, Aug. 24. Philadelphia cricketers and the County Durham eleven met today in a special match, in which the Americans won. The visitors went out with 122 runs, and the Britons could score but 85. Adams of the Americans was the only pSlayer who put up a really good game for either team outside of Winter, ."Whose wicket-keeping was perfect.
Los Angeles, Aug. 24. Al Kaufman and Jimmy Flynn at the Naud Junction
camp tomorrow evening, and it now appears that Flynn will be at least twenty-five pounds the lighter of the
pair when they get in the ring. His manager claims that he weighs but 166 pounds. Kaufman is a 10 to 4 favorite in a few wagers which have been made, and if any money appears it is a certainty hia price will go back to 3 to 1.
Clarke Station, Ind. (Special) The Clarke Station white sox won a double header Sunday, defeating the Edgemore team by the score of 11 to 1 and the Hessvilles 4 to 3. The second game was quite exciting and was witnessed by great many people. For anybody that wants to see a good game come to Clarke Sunday, Aug. 30, and see the White Sox Juniors play the Hessvllle. They will then try to play the McKee Colts of Tolleston, and then will play outside teams. They have a good little team and can put up Just as good a fight as any other team between the age of 12 to 14, near this vicinty. They have won 12 out of 14 games.

The good showing of the Washington team of late makes it apparent that the New York Highlanders are doomed to stick at the bottom. The New York Giants are getting together a host of youngsters to try out this fall and next spring. Manager McGraw showed rare Judgment when he held on to Larry Doyle Larry has developed into a star in one season. Pitcher Louis Durham of "the Indianapolis club has pitched and won four double-headers this season, allowing but four runs in the eight games. "Doc" Krone and the vet Pro r, TTn

Woman's Suspicious Retlcenoe. Are women beginning to talk lees In the hope of thus better pleasing men? If bo, while commending the motive, we would unhesitatingly question the method. The mere music of their voices as contrasted with the raucous male note easily counterbalances any possible disparity In the Ideas expressed. Upon all grounds we cry out for loosening of the delicate tongues now so strangely and so suspiciously stilled. North American Review.
Lake Michigan Found To Be Work
ing Damage to the Harbor Frontage.
Special to The Times East Chicago, Ind., Aug. 25. The East Chicago council last night ap
proved the report of the commltte or
dering the special fu rnlture for tho new
city hall. Despite the objection of
Councilman O'Girr on the grounds of
the unusual expense, the councilmanio
body declared that $7,580 was neces
sary to furnish the building complete
with desks, chairs, railings, bookcases
and flies. The furniture will all be of
quarter-sawed white oak, finished in
golden oak color. The original appro
priation of $9,000 for office fixtures has
now ben practically all consumed and an additional approlation will likely be
necessary to complete the pans.
Want Boulevard Protected. Another forward step was taken in
the Lake Front park matter when
Council O'Girr suggested the condem
nation of all the property fronting on
the lake at Indiana Harbor and its re
version to the park committee. The suggestion came as the climax to a
lengthy discussion regarding practic
able means of preventing the waters of Lake Michigan from under mining the boulevard in front of the South Bay hotel. On extremely stormy days there is a perceptible washing out of the
sands along the breakwater and this will in time, destroy the foundations of
the horses facing along the lake. The park committee is inclined to give the matter .serious consideration and while condemnation may not be advisable at this time, the proposition of a Lake Front park will be forcibly brought to their attention. Attorneys J. M. Stinson, W. F. McAleer and A. F. Nnotts of Hammond, attended last night's session of the East Chicago common council.

1NIS BETTER SERVICE
An East Chicago Alderman
Makes An Elooquent Plea For People.
East Chicago, Ind., Aug. 25. (Specal) Alderman Andrew O'Girr last night made an eloquent plea for better service on the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend railway between Indiana
Harbor and East Chicgo. The forensic
appeal was made immediately before the
weekly council meeting and occurred when Trainmaster Kellogg of the interurban company made his appearance in the council room. Mr. O'Girr Immediately directed a line of sentiment question at the rather surprised dispatcher and demanded some intimation of when better service could be expected. Complaints of constant Incivility were reported by Councilman O'Girr, intermingled with complaints of refusal by the conductors to stop at prop
er crossings. To all of these Mr. Kellogg replied that the directors of the company would certainly not sanction any such methods by their employes. There is no doubt that the service between the two cities could be vastly
improved and it is hoped that the East
Chicago council's "Caudle" lecture will be taken to heart by. the interurbau
officials.
