The great back-stop had his thumb smashed during the tenth , inning by one of Smith's fierce shoots, ' and several stitches were required to - be taken in the injured member by a surgeon. This is the third straight season that Sullivan has been laid up -near the end ot the playing schedule. It comes at ' a critical point, Just when the sox are making a bold fight for the. pennant. His services can ill be spared. With , him behind the bat that important point has always been well guarded. A VOICE FROM BLACK OAK. To the Sporting Editor The Times: Black Oak did not forfeit any game to the Tolleston team last Sunday. If the umpire gave Tolleston the game. He must have done it when he reached Tolleston as their were 200 people at the game and no one heard the umpire give any decision of that kind. If the language the Tolleston players used in the presence of the ladies present Sunday is gentlemanly, we do , not want to be gentlemanly. BLACK OAK. COLTS GO TO PLYMOUTH. The Hammond Colts go t Plymouth next Sunday to get revenge from the heme team there. It will be the second game of a series, the Plymouth team having taken the first by a score of 5 to 4, after the colts had held Plymout down to a score of 4 to I until in the ninth inning when they rallied and beat the visitors.

Koehler, 1. f. Burking, c' f. Johnson, r. f. The train leaves over Nickel Plate J-ailroad at 8:50 in the morning, the fround trip costing $1.32. HAS NEW PLANK. Coach A. A. Stagg of the University of Chicago has a football immigration plank for the "big eight" colleges. The maroon director favors an exclusion act to affect gridiron stars of a migratory nature from changing schools. He has taken the first step by warning alien players away from Marshall field. Coach Stagg announced his attitude on the question of athletic immigrants yesterday as a final answer to those who have charged Chicago with attempting to proselyte football men of other colleges. Incidentally Collins and Minor, the University of Nebraska players were headed for the Midway, failed to show up and thus avoided Stagg's wrath. The coach announced that he did not want the players of other schools and that he had recently been obliged to refuse the services of prominent western athletes. YALE ELEVEN IN A SMASH-UP.

GAME 'EN08JN A RIOT New York and Chicago Get in a Fearfful Mixup Yesterday.

New York, Sept 23. The game between Chicago and New York today, wih the lead of the National League pennant race depending upon it, ended in a riot and a tied score after the run that ought to have given New York the victory by a score of 2 to 1 had crossed the plate. Aierkle, a young player subbing at nrst, was on first base and McCormlck on third when Bridwell cracked a clean drive to center, and Merkle without going to second base rushed for the clubhouse and was forced out at sec ond, nullifying the run that McCormlck had scored. Umpire O'Day, who a few weeks ago met the same situation at Pittsburg, ran down the second base and saw the whole play. a wild riot in which the umpires were shoved, pulled and beaten and in which Chance, Howard, Evers, Tinker, Marshall and Hayden of the Chicago team were assaulted and beaten follw, and the umpires escaping from the maddened crowd of fans, hid in their dressing rooms until the city police cleared the field. Half an hour later Umpire O'Day announced that as Ems lie said he did not see the play, he was forced to decide and that, as Merkle had failed to touch second base he was forced out and McCormick's run could not count. The decision of the umpire left the game as a tie and tonight the Na tional League is in a chaotic condition. President Murphy, backing his claim with affidavits of a dozen of the most prominent men at the game and the sworn statement of the players, claims the game for Chicago on the grounds that the umpires had to forfeit it. EASY WORK FOR NOTRE DAME. Notre Dame, Ind., Sept.( 23. Coach Place 'eased up somewhat on the varsity candidates this afternoon in preparation for a stiff scrimmage tomorrow. Signals were run for the greater part of the practice. Kelly made his initial appearance in the back field, appearing at full on one of the teams Ryan joined the punters and did well for his first work-out. He will probably share the quarter back position with either Hamilton or Matthews tomorrow. The forward pass was run through several times and marked improvement was shown.

A .special excursion has been arranged for the Chicago game of Oct. 10 and 300 students will attend. PAPKE AND KELLY WILL MEET. Billy Papke and Hugo Kelly are practically certain to meet in a tenround bout in Milwaukee, Oct 16. This seemed assured last night, when Sylvie Ferreti, who manages Kelly, agreed to Papke's terms of 5,000 for such a bout, win, lose or draw. Papke reached the city yesterday noon and departed at 6:10 p. m. for Kewanee. Both here and in Kewanee he was the object of great enthusiasm and popular tributes from his friends and adherents. When he met Ferreti yesterday he Informed him that he was willing to fight Hugo Kelly again, but that he Insisted on having $5,000 for his end. FENDER SAVES HIS LIFE Man Who Fell Before Electric Car Escapes Death. John Algmire, a bridgeman, employed in Gary, fell in front of a C. & J. car in Summit the other afternoon and before the motorman could reverse ti power the mart was knocked down and dragged a considerable distance. His shoulder was dislocated and he received other minor injuries. He was placed aboard the car and taken to Joliet, where the city ambulance conveyed him to St. Joseph's hospital, where he is resting easily.

Reno, Nev., Sept 22. Nat C. Goodwin, the actor, today filed a bill asking divorce from his wife, Bessie Hall Goodwin, more familiarly known as Maxlne Elliott The papers" in the case were sealed, and both the actor and his attorneys, Dodge and Barry, refuse to discuss the case in any of its details whatever. It is stated, however, that the complainant alleges improper conduct. TUFT SPEAKS AT THE HARBOR (Continued from page 1. something and I said that I would. (Applause). "I am glad to be able to appear be fore the laboring men," the speaker continued, "and show them that, in sprite of some of the stories I have 'heard, I have not got horns. (Laughter). "They say I am unfavorable to labor. I deny it. I deny that there is nay man in the country who has given such attention to the statutes for the purposing of relieving labor than I." Enthusiastic applause and cries of "That's right Hurrah for Taft" greeted this declaration and for a few seconds it appeared that the gathering would go wild in their delirious enthusiasm. SHOWS UP MR. BRYAN. "My opponent, Mr. Bryan, began his career by putting on the statute book the Gorman-Wilson tariff bill, in 1893. And all of you who are old enough, and most of you are, will remember that the following four years was the worst period for labor that we have ever had in the last half " century. There was introduced a tariff bill for revenue only, which cannot be Introduced into- this county without changing the industries, and if these are to be changed, then there comes a transient period, during which business must stop, and the wage-earner must wait until the business is resumed along other lines, and he must Team new traces." "I say that you must pause before, for any sentimental or academic reason, you stop your factories, and stop the wages that enable you to send your children to the schools, and furnishes you houses in which to live." DONE MORE THAN OTHERS. "Now the Republican party, with Theodore Roosevelt at its head," continued Mr. Taft, "has put more legislation on the statute book In the interests of labor than any administration in the history of this country." (Loud applause and cheers). "I. am proud to have been called into conference with Theodore Roosevelt," (cheers), "to bring about conditions of labor that will put men on an equal with their employers." "The legislation of congress, being limited to Interstate commerce. Is limited to railroads. The republican administration of General Harrison, of this state, was the first administration to put upon the statute book -laws to secure safety appliances td stop the loss of life and limb to railroad employes. They now require a kind of brake that -will save life, as well as other kinds of safety appliances, the details of which I am not familiar wth." Mr. Taft spoe briefly on- the famous fire-pan legislation which has saved the lives of hundreds of railroad firemen, the child-labor law of the District of Columbia and the law which governs the

hours for govern-jwag ork. that prevents

ment employes to wo them from laboring more than eight hours a, day. EMPLOYER'S LIABILITY ACT. "In addition to these, we have the employer's liability act. The old act agrees that when a man is injured by machinery, In the employ of a corporation, if he was injured through the negligence of fellow servants he could not recover. If he was guilty of con tributory negligence he forfeited his

It is also reported here that Miss Elliott is preparing a cross bill that will contain startling allegations against the character of Goodwin. Coupled with the case is conjecture that has much to do with the recent story of the breaking off of the- engagement between Goodwins leading woman, Miss Edna Goodrich, and Harry McMil, lan of Goldfield.

right to recover and was forced to go armless and legless home, and do the best he could for his living. Under the ntw law, the man who is injured on the railroad, and loses his limb or his life, so that his relatives seek to re J Jt .... .J v-uvci uamages mererore, can recover. even If he was guilty of contributory negligence, or if the injury was caused by the negligence of his - fellowservants. "That law was declared unconstitutional because of some technical dif ferences in the language. Whereupon this present .congress re-passed the law. allowing the government employes to go Into court or before a tribunal for the damages he has incurred. It has established a principal that the employer is liable to the laboring man who Is Injured." The next congress, said the candidate, must amplify that law to enable employes to get decisions more quickly than they do, without having to pay lawyers and without having to go through long jury trials. "All that I want to say is that IF I AM ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, AS I HOPE AND BELIEVE I SHALL BE, I PROPOSE AND IT WILL BE ONE OF MY PLEASANT DUTIES TO DEVOTE MY TIME TO CONSTRUCTIVE LEGISLATION WHICH WILL GIVE LABOR A SQUARE DEAL." COXCI.UDES HIS SPEECH. With these words Mr. Taft concluded his brief address. There was a deafening applause. The audience rushed to the car and as many as could possibly reach the still smiling speaker grasped his hand and shook it warmly as he leaned over the railing of the platform. A feature of the greetings which amused everyone and showed the absolute fairness of the man whom Theodore Roosevelt declares ts best fitted to rule the nation, was witnessed when a colored man of East Chicago went to the rear platform. Taking Mr Taft's hand and with his evps shew ing his emotion said, "God bless you. Mr. Taft. God bless you and th rty. We're with you." This remark was so unusual that it took the candidate by surprise and he responded with the statement that "he was indeed grateful to the colored people." "You have the same big smile that I have," he said to the colored brother. A small boy in rough rider's uniform was held up in the air to shake hands with the big man. "Hurrah for Taft," the little fellow shouted as he was cordially caressed by the object of his admiration. LEADERS ARE PLEASED. As the car disappeared in the distance, going toward Chicago where Mr. Taft last night addressed a large audience in Orchestra hall, cheer after cheer was given for the genial visitor. Several of the Inland whistles were blown and neighboring engines rang their bells with vigor. It was not for several hours that the people of In diana Harbor and vicinity ceased their utmost praise of the speaker and his words, felicitous to the laboring men of the country. Compliments upon the energies of local republican politicians in securing the Harbor address were Drofuse and Chairman Scbnnf'a narv,A the Blgrnal for a demonstration of .admiration whenever mentioned. H has shown himself interested in Lake county and its future and Indiana Harbor will never forget the honor conferred upon it by the selection of its station as the place from which the great speaker should address the voters of the community.

As in all cases, she engages the ani mosity of some of her associates, one of them.. Nan Warrington, the heavy woman of her company. ' This woman does all in her power to bring dis credit upon her rival, although out waraiy ner beet friend. She gives a supper after the show one night to which she invites some unscrupulous men about town, and at which she hopes to accomplish the downfall of Mary. The latter, however, acquits herself creditably and unconsciously defeats that plan. After the supper, one of the men remains, and Nan enraged, accuses him of throwing her over for Mary. A quarrel ensues and Nan, Jn a fury, throws a bottle which strikes him on the head and kills him. She contrives to throw the guilt on Mary, and through the next two acts that por girl is hunted through the country by officers of the law. Jeff Fairfield, her sweetheart of childhood days, comes to her aid and helps her through many sensational situations to final vindication. The ply is Interpreted by a company of twenty-five competent performers, and Mr. Mittenthal has given it a splendid production. AT THE T0WLE OPERA HOUSE. "JANNEY JCXKINS."
