Gary must be a place of some importance when Taft decided to talk here instead of Chicago. Mr. Gompers nearly got himself in trouble with the unions in Gary. He worked his voice overtime. The new skating rink is one of the most popular places in town. Mr. Corey rode right in and turned around and rode right out again. Mr. Taft will be with us on Saturday night.

Prairie fires made Gary look almost as bad as Chicago with its Illinois Central. i , The first furnace in the steel mills was lighted on Saturday and all indications point to the opening of the big industry in a short time. Crown Pointers are just as anxious as ever to be connected to Gary by an interurban, but enthusiasm on the part of the promoters is below par. The Garyjtes who went on the fishing trip to Kuntz lake speak very well of the trip and time, but in regards to the fish ?? Not even a mosquito bite. Although the Gary regular football team did not show up very strong in their game on Sunday, it was their first attempt and they promise to make "a better showing ftgalnst Lowell next Sunday. - Local republicans who attended the rally and barbecue at the county seat last Saturday speak in the highest terms of the treatment they received in the hands of the Young Men's Republican club at that place. All Gary is wondering whether the two ends of the tunnel will meet or Whether they will pass without recognition. Taft will not follow Gompers' style in- his speech next Saturday night. Neither will he deliver his speech from an express wagon. Whether Mabelle came with Corey it could not be learned. At all events she was not seen hanging round the 'Million-Dollar Kid."

FISHING PARTY BACK FROM THEIR TRIP Had a Good Time Bat the Fish Were Wrapped in Blankets. Captain H. S. Norton, George O'Donnell, Judge Fitzgerald and the rest of the party of fifteen or sixteen men who went down to the little Indiana lake on a fishing trip, have returned. They say that it was too cold to fish much, but they all admit that they had a good time. The weather was so cold that it was not pleasant outside of the place where thpy stayed and, of course, the weather prevented the fish from biting.

GIANTS SPLIT UP NEAT SUM Moneys Given by Brush and Taken In at Benefit Divided. New York, Oct. 19.- There is at least one consolation for the giants They did not win the National league base ball pennant, carrying with it a large amount of money in the play-off series with the American league champions, 'Jul iiiy uiu win an ttiuuuiiL ui iuuiiey i figuring in the thousands for their gal-; lant fight for the National league flag. This amount is said by those who I ought to know to reach at least 114,000. 1 Of this $14,000, to be divided among the players, the greater share of which will go to those who compose the reg-. ular team, $10,000 was donated by!" John T. Brush, president of the New York National league club, as the club receipts from the play-off of the tie between the giants and the Chicago cubs. To this amount was added the receipts from an exhibition eiven for the benefit at the Academy of Music last night. There will be no game between the Detroit tigers. The New York players would like to have such a game and John T. Brush today gave his permis slon to the men under contract to the New York club to play the American league champions. But after canvas-1 sing the New York players who could the game off. CUB'S PRESIDENT IS ON THE ANXIOUS SEAT Commission Has Suspended Many of The IMayers and Axe is Due to Fall Again. President Murphy of the cubs appeared in his office today in the Corn Exchange Bank Building, wondering if he had a ball club left. The national baseball commission has been wielding the axe right and left among players who contested with the semi-pro "outlaws" and the contamination lias spread hither and yon. Early in the day the commission announced from Cincinnati that pratlcally the whole Washington and Minneapolis teams had been declared Ineligible on account of their players engaging in games with the Logan Squares. The fact that "Dutch" Schaefer of Detroit played in a game with the WashIngtons on Saturday and on Sunday played in the cubs-tigers' game at the West Side Park would, render the whole mess of champios ineligible. The white sox will probably hear of their ineligibility within a few days, as they played against the Logan Squares Saturday and Sunday. WHITE SETS NEW RECORD Halph linker Drives Steamer Five Miles at Kansas City In 4:52. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 19.

The Buick spurted and led the first threequarters of a mile, when the "White Flyer" went rapidly to the front, to continue in the lead for the rest of the race. Seyfrled took things easy, trailing the Buick until the last mile, when he put on an extra ounce of steam and left the Buick in third place.

TING NOTE

KICKED GLOOM HOODOO Gives Midway Squad Fair Chance of Disposing of Minnesotans.' Coach A. A. Stagg arose in his might yesterday and kicked the "gloom hoodoo" over the Marshall field fence. Then he began his preparations for the Minnesota football game en October 31 with no sisrns of distress nvor Vn i closeness of Saturday's 11 to 6 maroon ; vlrtnrv r-tr- TIMnnl. Instead of starting the grind in bearish mood, Stagg announced that he was distinctly satisfied with his team. He pronounced the back field fully up to his expectations and predicted Improvement in the line before the gopher battle. He also frowned on some of the rooters who affected to feel downcast over the outlook; According to the director there are no dark clouds hanging over Marshall the maroon scalp. He gave the Midway team a fair chance to dispose of Dr. Williams' eleven with the added development they will get In the next two weeks. Looks For Strong Line. Coach Stagg is sure his forward wall will be a much different structure when the gophers Invade Chicago's camp. The addition of Louis Falk to the line and the return of Worthwine to the ranks of the forwards are two factors counted on to place the maroons in far stronger shape than they appeared against Illini. returned from the field he was loud in his praise of the'work the men did in their first workout after the Notre Dame game. "This," he said, " is the best practice we have had this season. Every man was on his toes and there was hardly a fumble during the three hours of practice. Every one knew his signals.

' PAYS $5,000 FOR A YEARLING George Bstabrook of Denver Secures Fast Kentucky Youngster. Lexington, Ky., Oct. 19. The best price ever paid here for a yearling trotting colt was when today George Eastabrook of Denver, Colo., bought from W. W. Evans of this city, for $5,000, the yearling colt Colin by Bondsman. This fast youngster was sold on his excellent performance of $:32 for the quarter. Eastabrook will ship the promising youngster to his farm at Denver at once. He bought Allendale Queen here last week for $2,000. COMISKEY'S OLD STAND BURNS St. Paul, Oct. 19.

ST. LOUIS "U." CAPTAIN RESIGNS Murphy Quits Eleven. Giving as euse Parental Objection. Ex St. Louis, Oct. 19. Eddie Murphy, captain of St. Louis University's foot ball eleven, resigned to Coach Cochems this afternoon, effective immediately. because he said his parents objected to football. "I continued until the squad got plenty of goad material for quarter backs," he explained. In Sat urday's game with Arkansas Cochems yanked Murphy out, substituting Frank Cornet as quarter back. It is believed this caused Murphy's resignation. Frank Acker will likely be appointed captain. MTARLAND IS INJURED Llghrreight to Face Cross TomorronWith Lacerated Visage. Stratford, Conn., Oct. 19. An ill fate seems to be camping on the trail of Packie McFarland in his preparation for his six-round mill with Leach Cross before the Fairmount Athletic club of New York on Wednesday night. An Injury sustained in boxing with Joe Thomas, the coast heavy weight, came within an ace of causing a second postponement Of the bout. As it is the stockyards lightweight will enter the ring against the ghetto champion with a badly lacerated lip, which is likely to cause him considerable trouble before the route has been covered. While mixing it at close quarters with the burley Thomas Just a moment before the timer was ready to stop the boxers, McFarland butted Into Joe's elbow, his mouth getting all the worst of it. Bleeding profusely from

Bride-to-Bc of

v - IT the wound the little Irishman pulled off his gloves and succeeded in staunch ing the flow of blood until a surgeon performed a professional job on the gash. For a time it was feared Packie would be forced to seek a postponement of the date but the Chicagoan gamely refused to wait. An injury to his ankle while doing road work in ttralning for a bout with Cross sched uled for an earler date compelled McFarland to call off that engagement and he says he does not want to wait longer for a cratfk at the dentist. McFarland will go to New York to morrow. He is already at weignt ana confident of victory If unsuccessful of landing a match with Murphy he will go to England in quest of trouble. Bob Farrell, a veteran welterweight, who fought Harry Gilmore In 1S83, will be in Fackie s corner to advise him of his opponent's method of battling. BUSY TIME IN PROSPECT FOR LIGHTWEIGHT CLASS. Cross and McFarland to Have Bout In the East This Week. New York. Oct. IS. This will be an active week for the lightweights In the east. Packie McFarland is to meet Leach Cross .Wednesday evenjng and Owen Moran is now trying to take the place of Joe Gans, who is not likely to meet Tommy Murphy next Friday evening. Moran wants a try at the Harlem boxer. Dick Hyland has been firing challenges at all men of his weight and every aspiring man of the same avoirdupois is trying to break into the limelight. If McFarland outpoints Cross, as It is generally thought he will do, he will have no lack of bouts here. Terry McGovern has again been heard from. Although he showed by his work in the lightweight division that he is only the shadow of the "Terrible Terry" of yore, he wants to have another chance in the ring. Joe Humphreys Is urging his claims for a bout. Owen Mora has practically decided to move up into the lightweight ranks, as more money is in sight there. He can still make 127 comfort ably. PLACE RESTS NOTRE DAME MEN SCHULTZ MAY GET BACK Only Six Players Report For Light Routine Practice. Notre Dame, Ind., Oct. 19. Only six of the varsity football men were called upon to practice this afternoon, the rest of the squad being given a rest. The six were Moriarity and Dwyer, whom Coach Place is trying out for quarter, since Hamilton was pronounced ineligible for the Indiana contest, and Captain Miller, Sullivan, Mertes and Dionne, the former three centers and the latter a half back. The practice consisted of the fundamental principles of the game. The entire squad will be worked out again tomorrow. RED WING IS CHAMPION Beats Yellow Sallie in Motor Brush on Mississippi.
