Sad Tale About Possible Hoosler Vic
tory Comes From Madison. Madison, "Wis., Oct. 14. The work ot
the Wisconsin football team today was
far from satisfactory to both coaches
and rooters, who are now expressing some anxiety about the outcome of the Indiana game Saturday. The men for
the last two days have slumped in their work,, and unless they improve materially the hooslers will be apt to slip In a, victory.
HACK IS EAGER TO
WRESTLE G0TCH AGAIN.
Russian l,lon Will Soon Start Training
for Return Match. New York, Oct. 14. Late advices
from England are , to the effect that
George Hackenschmldt, the Russian Lion, is in trailing to wrestle Frank Gotch for the world's championship, the title which he lost to the American last April in Chicago. Hack has submitted to an operation on one knee, and declares now that he is fit to
meet the big Iowan and believes that the returns of the match will be decidedly different from the one in which Gotch won the world's championship in Chicago.
Hackenschmldt Is In London, and has
several weeks of vaudeville engagements, and after these engagements expire will start active preparation for another match with Gotch. He says
the return match with Gotch, will be his final appearance on the wrestling stage, and Is firm of the opinion that he can ' reverse the decision over the
American wrestler. Negotiations have
already been commenced for the match by British promoters, and it Is expected that the deal will be consummated in the near future.
PRINCETON WINS SLOW GAME.
THE BEST TEAM WON TITLE.
By Manager Frank Chance. Of course I am the happiest man on
earth and have the best bunch of baseball players that ever was gathered in one team.
I am not trying to boast when I say
the cubs are the greatest team that ever walked onto a diamond. Every man played the game of his life and I
am proud of every one of them. Over
all pitched phenomenal ball in his two games and you know what Brown did to them.
By Manager Hugh A. Jennings, It is a hitter pill to swallow, but I
must admit the cubs are the better team. They played better ball than the tigers all the waj'. If our pitching staff had been in normal condition thre might have been a different storv.
If one cannot be a winner, then the next best thing is to be a good loser.
and I am tiylng to be that.
By Ban Johnson. (President of the American League.) I am. sorry to be forced to admit
that the cubs are better than the American league champions, but it Is the truth. I do not think it a disgrace for any team to be beaten by a team of
the caliber of the cubs. There is no
doubt that the better team won.
By Harry S. Pulllam. (President of the National League.) I am greatly pleased at the cubs'
victory, and there is no doubt in my
mind that it is the better team. I want to extened my heartiest congratulations to Manager Chance and his men for the great honor they have brought to the National league for the second time in succession.
WOLVERINES SHOW POORLY.
Coaches Look for Notre Dame Victory
on Satnrday. Ann Arbor, Mich., Oct. 14. The biggest blow that Yost has had to face this season came today when Edmunds, returning from a short trip to Youngstown, Ohio, announced that he had decided to leave college immediately. Edmunds has been practically the . only candidate for the full back position,
and his great work on forward passes and his punting had helped him to cinch the Job. As if the loss of Edmunds was. not enough, the varsity today, in the second game of the season with scrubs, showed the rankest kind ot form, succeeding in winning only by luck by a score of 14 to 0. The varsity showed Ignorance of signals, and some of the veterans showed lack of knowledge of the rudiments of football.
Princeton Villa Nova by Score of A to 0
After Hard Fight.
Princeton, N. J.. Oct. 14. In a slow game with Villa Nova, Princeton won by the score of 6 to 0. The Tigers had
hard work to win by. even this margin, and had It not been for the referee's firm ruling Villa Nova would have evened up the score with a touchdown from a fumble. . The first half saw the
ball see-sawing up and down the field
without any decisive advantage to
either side.
GETTYSBURG TALLIES ON PENN

Philadelphia, Oct. 14. The University
of Pennsylvania defeated Gettysburg

lippy scored the field goal for the vis
iters. In the second half Penn made a number of changes, the substitutes all
doing poor work. The Penn team fum
bled badlv and lost the ball inside the

New York Turfman's Helmet Is Never
Headed In Feature at Belmont Park
New York. Oct. 14. James R. Keene
followed up the usual run of affairs
by. winning... the .15.000. Champagne stakes at Belmont Park today with his clever colt Helmet. The fleet Disguise colt took the lead right from the start and was never headed. Nearlng the
wire Notter was forced to hustle Hel
met a little on account of a whirl-wind finish by Selectman, but managed to beat the latter one length at the finish
line. Ethereal finished a bang-up third.
The result brought on a funny pre
dicament in that Jimmy Rowe trains
Helmet, the winner, and owns Select
man, which finished second. When the trainer was asked before the race
which colt he wished to win he appre
ciated the novelty of the situation and
simply grlned.
In all probability Helmet, Maskette
Colin and Ballot will be the stars of
the shipment that will leave these shores for England on Saturday. While it has been almost definitely settled that the two two-year-olds will take
the trip. Mr. Keene said this evening
that he had not fully made up his
mind to send Colin and Ballot along.

The second score came just as time was about up. McDonald was the largest gain - contributor in the last session, going around left end for a run of forty yards, which put the ball to the second's fifteen-yard line.

Indiana Harbor, Ind., Oct. 15. The steamship John Mitchell, loaded with 8,000 tons of iron ore, has been aground off Indiana Harbor since 4 a. m. yes
terday, and early today a squadron of lighter boats was dispatched for the unloading of the vessel in hopes of floating it oft the sandbar which holds it captive. High south winds, which have been blowing over the lake, caused the water to recede at least two feet at its southern extremity, are said to be responsible for the grounding of the ship.
The John Mitchell was headed for the docks of the Inland Steel company in Indiana Harbor when it struck the sandbar. Loud distress whistling summoned a flotilla of tugs, but these were unable to drag off the heavily burdened craft. The crew of tlm Sohn Mitchell numbers twenty men. Frank Watson is the captain. The ship draws twenty feet
i eight inches.
(Special to The Times). Whiting, Ind., October 15. Elizabeth, the three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Casper Matson of Fischrupp avenue, and Dorothy, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Burton of Clark street, who is the same ago as the Matson child, were engaged in play near their homes yesterday, the result of which play came nearly being the cause "of both little girls being marked for life. During the course of their amusement they came in contact with a box containing a small portion of lye. Seeing the powdery substance the little ladles perhaps thought it was face powder, for the Matson child applied it to her face, but the little Burton girl had only risked putting in her hands. Run to Mamma., When the powder began to smart the two children ran crying to Elizabeth Matson's mother, carrying with them the box containing the lye. Mrs. Matson became very excited when she saw the state of affairs, but quickly washed oft Yhe caustic alkaline solution and found that the burns received were very slight. Aside from the excitement caused by the crying of the child and the fright which the mother received when she saw her child's face and her little friend's hands covered with lye, the damage caused was very slight, but it
will perhaps be a life-long lesson to the little ladies to beware of the kind of powder they use when they want to look beautiful.

East Chicago Republican
Organization Counts on ,1,500 in the Parade.
BOYS ARE "UP AND DOING"
James E. Watson, " Candidate for
Governor, Will Get a Splendid Reception
(Special to hk Times). East Chicago, Ind., Oct. 13. The
meeting of the Young Men's Republican club last evening augured well for the success of Saturday night's Watson
rally. About fifty staunch friends of the organization visited headquarters and declared their intention to assist the project in every way. The boys
are all "up and doing," securing con
tributions from business men and busy as can be in the outlining of Mr. Watson's entertainment. Eiprt a Fine Parade. The East Chicago organization can count, it is said, on at least 500 or 600 paraders. This will be vastly swelled by the delegations from Crown Point, Gary, Hammond, Whiting, Indiana Harbor and Gibson, and the parade should comprise at least 1,500 persons. Arrangements are being made for the securing of an additional band, giving the people of East Chicago two musical organizations with which to stir their apparently dormant political feeling. A quantity of torches arid red fire are also to be purchased by the various committees, and East Chicago will give Jim Wat?on a display far better than his greatest expectations could conjecture. Lotn of Work to Do. There is still much work to do, hokever, and President Joe A. Meade declares that at least one more meeting is necessary. Thin rrfll be held In the East Chicago headquarter tomorrow evening, and every one Is invited to come himself and bring his friends with him. "The more the merrier," is to be the slogan of the evening, and there is no doubt that the evening will be one of the merirest in the history of the yet young republican incubator.
