Charles Walerstadt, Sturdy Dane of Indiana Harbor, Will Be Buried in Potter's Field at Hessville, at the County's Expense. RELATES TO T COLOWFROH BIER Well-to-Do Brother-in-law in Gary and Another in Chicago Feel no Stirring at Heart Chords at Sight of Their Wives' Deai Brother Few Knew of His Elinjis. Indiana Harbor, Ind., Jan. 6. Deserted by even his relatives, the body of Charles Walterstadt, Indiana Har bor's pioneer fisherman; will be burled today In the Potter's field at Hessville The news of Walerstadt's death, which was chronicled in The' Times yester day, was a surprise to many of the man's friends, but few of whom knew of his serious illness and subsequent removal to St. Margaret's hospital. Walerstadt, a sturdy Dane, arrived In the Harbor about seven years ago and for some time conducted a car pentry shop near the Pennsylvania tracks. His hearty greeting soon won for him many acquaintances and he resorted to the open air life of lake fishing to earn his living. Unmarried, his earnings were not properly saved and when death claimed him his personal effects consisted of only a few clothes and books In his little room on Deodar street. Gary Brother Wouldn't Help. It was learned that he had a brother-in-law, N. Gleim, residing in Gary and the latter was communicated with. Gleim is the owner of a prosperous tailoring establishment at 778 Broadway, Gary, and was at one time married to a deceased sister of the Harbor fisherman. The Gary man made a visit to the Harbor yesterday and after viewing the body declared that he did not wish to assist in shouldering the expenses attendant upon giving tne body proper burial. Another brother-in-law, Chris Jooner, was consulted through the Chicago police department but has refused to bear any of the ex pense. Jooner Is said to be a member of the, Chicago police force and in fav orable financial circumstances. That such evidences of antipathy to tne universal brotnernood of man should exist in Lake county seems al most beyond human belief, and those who have had the pleasure of chatting with the old fisherman during his long beach trips, deplore .the lack of sympathy that the sturdy Dane deserved so well. ,1B3.

JEFF TRAINS TODAY BEWARE. JOHNSON! ... Retired Champion to Start Work Theatrical Engagement in Sight. Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 6. Jim Jef fries started light training today. The big fellow promised his business part ner. Jack Kipper, that he would com mence work immediately at the gym nasium of a local athletic club. Jef fries proposes to limber up in preparation for his engagement at the "Wig wam theater at San Francisco, for which he is to get $3,000 a week. While Jeffries says his training is only for the coming theatrical engage ment it is thought hre that If Jeff finds during the course of his work that he still retains much of his old cleverness, speed and stamina that he will accept one of the munificent offers that have been, made to him to fight Jack Johnson. And those who know the big fellow well are confident that he will find that he Is still able to give a good account of himself with the gloves. They are enthusiastic over the prospect of Jeffries ultimately consenting to meet the colored man. Big crowds will throng Jeff's train ing quarters daily and every move of the big fellow will be watched with the greatest interest. If he shows he still is In shape to do battle all Los An geles will be happy. The fans here want to see their idol clash with the conqueror of Burns and feel certain that he can win back the title for the white race. Jack Kipper, in addition to being a partner in Jeffries' Spring street re sort, is also one of the retired champion's warmest and most Intimate friends. "I am strongly In favor of Jeffries going back Into the ring after Johnson," said he today. "It means a fortune for him, and I believe the $3,000 theatrical offer from San Francisco has sort of opened his eyes." JEFFRIES IS OUT Will Sell Fight Club and Eni rri . i n- ii der meatncaj. xiem. Los Angeles, . Jan. 6. Jim Jeffries going out of the fight-promoting bus! ness and take another whirl at the the atrical game. The Jeffries Athletic club here, of which the retired chanv pion was president and matchmaker, has proved a frost It Is to be sold right away, probably to Jimmy Coffroth of San Francisco, who would then be In control of the boxing situation In the entire state. - An offer of $3,000 for Jeffries to do a week's boxing stunt at the. Wigwam theater In Frisco has proved tempting to the big fellow, and he has agreed to sign If given a little tirnn for training. Some of the fight fans here take Jef fries' agreement to box in the San Francisco playhouse to mean that he has decided to see how training agrees with him. They figure that if the retired champ finds he can stand train ing he will soon accept one of the huge offers made every day or so for a fight with Jack Johnson. YOUNG OTTO VS. PADDY SULLIVAN. New York, Jan. 6. "Young Otto" and Paddy Sullivan will clash in a ten round bout at the Sharkey Athletic club tonight.

SWEEPING VICTORY FOR REBEL LEAGUES American Association and Its Eastern Ally Win Baseball Struggle. ARE PLACED IN HIGHER GLASS Bolsters Gain Bank of "AA" Along With the Pacific Coast Organization. Cincinnati. Jan. 6. The baseball war Is over, not a Bhot fired and never a drop of blood spilled. The eight hour session of the minor league magnates of yesterday, was followed by another lengthy gabfest today, at which all the kinks In baseball's wrinkled front were straightened out, and tonight the dove of peace Is doing one of Its cutest flut terlng stunts, and all because the minor league microbes were quite magnan imous to the two prospective bolters, the Kastern league and the American association. On only one proposition did the two belligerent league slip up, and that was on the manner of getting out of the clutches of the National association and forming an association of their own, which should be a third party to the national agreement This propo sition was vetoed, but as the Eastern and American association were given the privilege of appealing to the na tional commission from any decision rendered . by the National association and were elevated to class AA, which allows them to draft from the South em and "Western leagues, after the major leagues have exerted their one man draft on these circuits, to say nothing of being allowed to enact cer tain rules to govern their own affairs, the victory of the bolters was pretty thorough. The action of raising the two dis senting leagues to a higher class had the effect- automatically, of putting the Pacific coast league in the same divi slon, as it had been originally agreed that no member of the national asso elation should ever have a higher rat ing than the Pacific organization President Ewing of the latter league did not contend for membership in the New AA class, but of course did not re fuse It when offered. RECORD FOR 130 YARDS South African Sprinter Goes the Distamce m 0:12 2-5. Johannesburg, Jan. 8. R. E. Walker, the South African runner, established a new amateur record here today.

GEORGE SUTTON TO PLAY MAN ASSAU George Sutton, world's billiard cham pion at 18.1 style, will play Al Manassau 500 points at that game tonight. The match will be played at Sutton's Adams street room. Sutton is prepar ing for his championship match with George Slosson Jan. 26 and thinks match play the best method to perfect his stroke. Al Taylor will be Sutton's opponent Friday night.
