SHOOTS THE ROOSTER (Special to The Times.) ' East Chicago, Ind., Nov. 5. Judge G. E. lieiland will tomorrow try one of the most peculiar cases ever brought into a Lake county justice court. Joe Urbans, a ' resident of the Oklahoma district, will be arraigned on a charge of shooting a chicken belonging to one of his neighbors. The inoffensive bird crossed Urban's path just as he stepped from the sixth precinct polling place Tuesday afternoon. Joe had evidently voted a republican ticket for he drew his revolver and with the words: ."Rooster no good," he fired at the chicken. A few croaks and life was extinct. Joe was arrested and admitted to ball. From the appearance of the ballots returned from the sixth precinct, Urbans was not the only resident who believed that the "rooster was no good," and his punishment will doubtless be lisrht.

Packie McFarland was the center of attraction In boxing circles here yesterday and both he and his manager were kept busy answering letters and hurling defiance at Battling Nelson. McFarland received an offer from a boxing club in Denver, conducted by Otto Flto, to meet Dick Hyland, who is now in that city. Malachy Hogan of Chicago was named as referee. The bout ,was originally planned for Dec. 4, but McFarland asked to have the time extended to Dec. 18. The game has been under the ban In Denver for some time, but Flto claims he will be able to hold one bout. Harry Gilmore, jr., also received challenges from Cyclone Johnny Thompson. Jimmy Coffroth wants him to meet' Nelson at San Francisco, and he is already matched with Tommy Murphy for Nov. 18. So the outlook is not for an idle season for the Chicago boy this winter. McFarland and Nelson met in a news paper office yesterday and a wordy war followed. McFarland and Nelson both lost their tempers, -and McFarland of fered to bet Nelson $5,000 he could whip him in private an offer which Nelson took up in prompt fashion. Friends intervened and nothing came of the argument. Nelson, however, has come out with the flat statement that he will not meet McFarland before February, and he seems o hold the deciding vote on the matter. XNiXjliQUlM JXi. WJUiUUM 1 Hotel Declines to Hecelve Lightweight Champion as a Guest. New Tork, Nov. 5. Barred from the Waldorf-Astoria because of a rule of that hotel under which accommodations are withheld from pugilists, Battling Nelson, the lightweight champion, yesterday sought shelter in another hotel. He is the second pugilist to be barred from the Waldorf-Astoria. His predecessor was "Philadelphia Jack" O'Brien, who tried to engage a room several months ago and whose application was refused. Battling Nelson appeared at the Wal-dorf-Astoria arrayed in garments of approved texture and of latest London cut. He was accompalned by a friend who said he was interested in the business of promoting fessional activities. Nelson's proKELLY AND PAPKE SIGNED UP Sylvie Ferret!

MOTES
INDIANA MAY Fort Wayne Promoters Sign Jimmy Gardner and Jack Morgan to Spar. GET SOME Election Thought to Have Made Revival of Game Possible This Year. Indiana will probably get Into the boxing game If dispatches from Fort Wayne are true. It is known that Lake county promoters, several of them in Hammond, were looking forward to the election of Thomas It. Marshall, with a view of opening up the boxing game In these parts and It is quite probable that they will make an attempt to pull off boxing bouts in Gary and Hammond shortly. "WlU Box In Fort Wayne. A Fort Wayne dispatch says: Box ing is to break from under the lid In Indiana. Hardly had the echoes of the election died away when announcement was made that the sport would open in this city and the first clash is scheduled for Thanksgiving day between Jimmy Gardner of Lowell, Mass., and Jack Morgan of Indianapolis. The plan is to have the men meet at 138 pounds on the afternoon of the holiday and it is not thought that any opposition to the match will arise. The political element elected has not ex pressed any objection to the game, and Governor Marshall Is known to be well disposed toward the sport. Jack Morgan is the hard-hitting boxer whose terrific wallop has resulted in many a knockout. He is regarded as a coming man, and has a strong local following. Jimmy Gardner, brother of George Gardner, is far better known, but many think that Morgan will afford him a surprise. Promoters here expect to have a lively season and think that if they proceed judiciously there will be no interference with the contests. HAL LEAGUECLUB FINED Commission Finds MurphyGuilty of "Farming" Assessed $250. Cinncinnati, Nov. 4. The Chicago National League ball club has been fminH (Ti l i 1 T - n f "farmlncr'' a ril 'i i-nr and fined $250 by the national baseball commission. The decision was given out today by Chairman August Herrmann. The commission got the goods on President Murphy of the cubs through some correspondence he tween the owner of the world's champs and Player Vincentn Campbell, who :Was "farmed." ! Campbell was turned over to the De catur "Three I" League club by Murphy last summer, but his name was found on the reserve list of the cubs this fall, though no record of sale by Decatur to Chicago could be found. I When Campbell found that he belonged to lne Lnicago ciud ne demanded salary Jr the last month of the season, in asmuch as the National League con tracts runn a month later than those of the "Three I" League President Murphy wrote Campbell he had no money coming, as his ser vices for the season ended at the close of the "Three I" League season. The player immediately wrote the commls sion and demanded that he be declared a tree agent, inasmucn as his name was not on the reserve list of the De I catur club and that the Chicago club had refused to pay salary. LOSES FIRSTPOLO GAME Indiana Harbor Team Loses to Fast East Chicago Team. Indiana Harbor, Ind., Nov. 5. (Spe jcial) Indiana Harbor lost her first polo j game, yet- her loss was not without honor to the team and its excellent management by Dr. H. E. Stephens For forty minutes on Tuesday evening the boys labored against the fast Sans Souci park aggregation one of the fastest in Chicago. Two fifteen-minute halves were played, the Coliseum rink being especially wired In for the featured game, and some three hundred spectators watching the initiative game of the season. At the end or the second half the score was a tie, 3 to 3 being declared valid by the scorer. It was decided that another ten-minutes session would be , necessary to settle the winner of the 'game. This resulted In the making of one more point by the Sans Souci team, closing the game with a score of 4 to 3. Captain William Cooksey showed especial speed and talent on the roller skates, while players Sternberg, Gibson, Baker and Saunders also distinguished themselves by their fast and excellent point and guard work. The boys, had they been given an opportunity to practice longer before the big game, would have won a notable victory against the Chicago team, and with this end in view have decided to play the Sans

RACING STOPS FOR YEARS Shutdown May Mean the Cloning; of All Tracks for the Next Foar Tears. New York, Nov. 4... Racing in New York closed today with a program at Jamaica where the gloom pervading was a fit indication of the feelings of the turfmen. Barely five hundred persons shivered in the big stand as wintry blasts swept over the track and the races were run in a dead silence, not even a handclap signalizing the victories in the first few races. At the end there was a feeble attempt to raise a sound of applause as a tribute to the outgoing season, but this died away instantly. Whether the close to day means that racing in New York is altogther dead remains to be seen. Two tracks have announced meets for next year, but in the meantime there is a dark outlook for the turf. .Most of the good horses are already in winter quarters. The result of the election was manifest in the atmosphere which hung over the track and the cheaper kind of racers will be a drug on the market. Many owners are urable to ship through lack of funds and are willing to let their horses go for almost any amount. . There is quite an active demand from the members of various country clubs for thoroughbreds, to use as hacks and hunters, but this market is necessarily limited. MAGNATES START AFTER QUAIL Comiskey and Johnson go to Iowa to Shoot Birds. President Comiskey of the white sox left yesterday morning for Iowa on a quail-hunting expedition, and last night B. B. Johnson, president of the American League, left to join the sox chief. Both will return Saturday. Comiskey has started to map out the training trip to be taken by the South Side team next spring. The sox will spend more time in southern California than they did last spuing and will return by the middle West route instead of through the South. FIGHT FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH Los Angeles. Nov. 4. "Bubbles" Robinson, the little boxer who has been doing1 nicely in preliminaries and semi-wind-ups, has been signed to meet Ad Wolgast before Tom McCarey's club in this city, Friday, Nov. 13, and thinks that he can take a step up the ladder by defeating the Milwaukee boy. Jack Martin and George Herberts will go on in the seml-wind-up. Jimmy Barry, who meets Jim Flynn here the coming Friday in a ten-round bout, boxed today with Battling Johnson and Eddie Danaher before a good-sized crowd. Frankie Edwards has been offered a match here with Maurice Sayers of Milwaukee for Nov. 20.

WOW BROUGHT INTO CASE Political Difference of Two Indiana Harbor People Wind Up in Judge Reiland's Court. (Special to The Times). Indiana Harbor, Ind., Nov. 5. Joseph Stuypka, of Pennsylvania avenue, has about decided that he is no politician. Stuypka believes, strange to say, in the voting of a prohibition ticket and on Tuesday attempted to influence the votes of several of his friends along this line. Fortunately, they admired his courage and took his remarks goodnaturedly but voted the republican ticket. j About 3 o'clock Stuypka attempted ! to get the attention of one John Doma, a neighbor, centered upon the platform. Doma, who is a good republican, and who, it is said, had also imbibed several drinks during the day, resented this interference wth what he believed his "citizen's rights," and mmediately started a fracas. When the dust of battle cleared away, Doma was arrested by a policeman and brought before Judge Reiland on a charge of assault and battery. He pleaded -guilty and was fined $13.80. Woman In the Caie. Doma, however, declared that he would get even with Stuypka and Immediately resorted to the practice that has been customary since the days of Eve. He sought the advice of a woman a sister-in-law named Mary Pora. The latter agreed, it seems, to induce Stuypka to talk on "prohibitionallsm" again, and she succeeded Idmirably. The unsuspecting "water man" became so aroused in the course of his peroration that he struck Miss Pora several blows about her face and body, de- ! mandlng that she use her influence in securing votes for his party. And here the irony of fate entered , and Doma was avenged for the fine im- ; posed against his name. Miss Pora, as j complaining witness, charged Stuypka! with assault and battery, and upon producing the evidence that he had struck j her, the proninition worKer was fined $15.10. He paid it, but has since refused to dscuss politican questons with even his best friends. IF IT'S ADVERTISED ITS WORTS LOOKING CF.
