EAST CHICAGO. Graduates Are Defeated. The alumni of the East Chicago high school were defeated in their first basketball game of the season last night, the regular high school team winning the game by a score of 35 to 12. The graduates showed their lack of training, and although the ball was in their possession a number of times they seemed unable to find the baskets. Riley, of the high school team, proved a veritable wonder, and with the assistance of Willie Cadman, East Chicago's other star, the local high school are assured of a splendid team before the end of the season.
Find the Dachsund. The police department last night lo
cated the valuable dachs hound lost about three months ago by Oscar George of Indiana Harbor. The animal had been kept at the home of George Germain, south of town, and during its seclusion had become the mother of a litter of pups. As the pups are very valuable Oscar decided not to further any charges of theft against the persons holding the dog.

San Francisco, Nov. 28. Billy Papke

Ketchel. Not only did Ketchel con
sent to meet the Illinois man, after the latter gets through with Hugo Kelly, but he also states that Papke
can "come back to be cleaned up" as often as he pleases. The men have
met thrice.
Both men were around the streets
yesterday and neither showed the ef
fects of their gruelling battle. Both
are a trifle bloodshot about the eyes as
the result of blows which landed there,
and Papke's nose is a trifle swollen
but in no sense unsightly. But that
each was in the pink of condition is evidenced by the fact that the muscles of their faces and bodies were so
hardened that not a bruise is visible in
spite of the terrific wallops each re ceived.

ELKS CHARITY BALL EAST CHICAGO TO MAKE MERRY THIS EVENING
Light Car Event Set tor Spring

Savannah, Ga., Nov. 28. Officials of
the Automobile Club of America, elated
over tne success or tne iigni car ana
Grand Prize races of Wednesday and Thursday have practically decided to conduct the same events in 1909, al
though at different seasons of the year. The light car race will probably be held in the spring with the Grand Prize scheduled for decision on Thanksgiving day. The Savannah course has developed Into one of the best in the world, as plenty of good places can be found for camps, while the fact that Wagner, the winner of the contest, drove his Flat to a new world's record of 65.5 miles an hour in 402.8 miles proves conclusively the fitness of the roads for the maintainance of terrific speed. The exodous of visiting motoring clans started yesterday, thousands heading for their homes In various parts of the United States, traveling by boat and train for the north, while
others started In their motor cars for
southern tours. The racing teams
broke camp yesterday afternoon and the foreign pilots and mechanicians who figured In the event will sail today for New Tork.
(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Nov. 28. The greatest social event ever held in East Chicago will be held in the Lewis skatink rink this evening when the Sast Chicago lodge, B. P. O. E., will give their annual ball to charity. Over one thousand admission tickets have been sold and for four hours at least tomorrow evening, East Chicago will depict a scene of splendor never before equalled in her history. It has been the custom of the Elks of this city to donate a large sum of money each year to charitable purposes and the proceeds of this annual function will be directed along similar channels. The admission is fifty cents each, and no one is to be allowed on the floor unmasked. An expert costumer has been provided and will display a large stock of fancy costumes in the Elks clubrooms on Olcott avenue this afternoon, and during the opening hours of the ball. The entertalnmeal committee has spared no pains in making this function a memorable event. No details have been overlooked and everyone is assured of a splendid evenin's enjoy ment at least. The floor of the skating rink is being especially prepared for the occasion. Pound after pound of first class floor wax has been distributed about its surface until the floor itself is as smooth as a mirror. Gay decorations about the rafters of the building and extending well up into its huge arched roof, assist in the beautifying of the building itself, while the balcony has been cleaned and made ready for the several hundred spectators who will participate in the dances of this evening. Prizes are to be given for the best
ladies and gentlemen in comical, descriptive and neat costumes. These will be awarded by an impartial committee during the early hours of the evening. De Briae's orchestra has been selecte dto furnish the music, and its high standard of excellence is wellknown throughout Lake county. Mr. De Briae promises a splendid assortment of popular and classical airs, and reports that he has engaged a ten-piece orchestra, one of the largest and best that ever played before an East Chicago audience. Good music is always necessary at a first class ball, and those who know Mr. De Briae and his reputation as a musican recognize the importance of his portion of the program. About 11 o'clock a light luncheon will be served to the dancers, an im
promptu kitchen having been arranged at one end of the rink. Oyster stews.
with all its necessary accompaniments and coffee, will be served. This department will be in charge of a com
petent person and promises to be one
of the striking innovations of the even ing.
All in all, the Elks charity mask ball
promises to be simply great. Goodfellowship, the kind taught by Elkdom
is to be the password of the evening.
Good music will reign supreme and at
least six or seven hundred dancers should wend their eteps through the Intricate waltzes and steps of the ex
cellently arranged program. The sue
cess of the evening depends as much upon the public as upon the manage
ment of the affair, and the attitude of East Chicagoans and their friends in neighboring cities towards the enter
prise augurs well for the ultimate sue
cess of their undertaking. The Kaiser
will be there.

STARR PI
THE MARK OF QUALITY For 40 Years the - Leader - 70,000 Satisfied Customers
A piano costs a large sum of money. This is true even of a cheap one, and often a buyer thinks it wise to get the opinion of some outsider before purchasing. This affords the supposed friend a chance to make arrangements with the piano dealer, and as a result there Is small chance that the customer will get a square deal In the matter of price. And this system is so outragous as the sliding scale scheme or the oily salesman, for often the supposed friend gets a commission from both the piano house and the customer.
