TMCS MOTE

EAST CHICAGO. J. H. FetterhofT of Pittsburg, Pa., was an East Chicago visitor yesterday, as the guest of Attorney Joe A. Meade. Mr. Fetterhof is a classmate of the local attorney and graduated from Valparaiso university last year. He will likely locate in either Chicago or Gary, and was in East Chicago yesterday getting an insight Into the futures of the Calumet region cities. Rev. F. J. Brown officiated at the Sunday services of the Highlands Congregational church on Sunday afternoon and reports the residents of the little village as very hospital in their welcome. .. Mrs. George I Dixon and children and Mr. and Mr3. William Burke of

Shawano Wis., left yesterday for

Waukesha, where they will spend two weeks with Mrs. Dixon's parents.

The Lewis basketball team, known

as the "Wiggles," will play the Ham

mond Baptist A. A. in the Lewis rink on Wednesday night. The local boys are training eevry night and expect to put up a fast game with Mcintosh

and Weydert as alternate centers.

The many friends of Mr. and Mrs.

W. L. Jeppeson will be sorry to learn

of the death of their Infant son, Robert

Lincoln yesterday morning. The little son was but 11 months old. Interment will be made at Oak Hill ceme

tery, Hammond, at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, following a brief 'funeral service at the home. Rev. F. J. Brown

will afficiate.

The members of the Congregational

church at their annual meeting made a

gift to Miss Lillian Williams, notice of which was omitted in The Times of Friday. Miss Williams has presided at the piano of the church at their

services for the past year and her work was so appreciated that the church body felt the justice of awarding more

than the usual verbal commendation

Miss Williams was made the recipien

of 125 in gold in recognition of her

services. The Tuesday Reading club are hold

Ing their regular weekly sessions this afternoon in the meeting-room of the

new city hall. "Indiana in Literature" will be the topic for the day's discussion and several papers are being pre pared for the occasion. The Embroidery club will meet this evening at the home of Miss Alice Williams on Olcott avenue. Carl Peterson of South Chicago was In East Chicago and the Harbor yesterday afternoon, looking for a location for a fruit store and Ice cream parlor. He will no doubt open such a etore in this city about Feb. 1. H. E. Stone of Baring avenue is suffering from a painful injury sustained while in his engine cab on the C. T. T. railroad early Sunday morning. In rising from his seat, Mr. Stone struck his head against the over-head metal and cut a . deep gash several inches in length. Seven stitches were necessary to bridge the wound, and Mr. Stone reports that the injury Is healing nicely. David Campbell and George Sweitzer of this city have applied for positions on the new Are department, to be organized as soon as the old water and light company's plant is remodeled. An appropriation of $8,365 was made by

the city council for this purpose last evening and the work will be prosecuted just as rapidly as A. H. W. Johnson can get his men at the job.

John Drummond is recovering rapid

ly from the misfortune of breaking

for several weeks, however.

Mr. Whitesitt, the manual training

instructor, complimented the freshmen

boys on account of their good behavior, Was it sarcasm!

We understand that a local music teacher told one of the high school

girls that she was too "giddy." Wonder

what that is!

'Some time ago Manager Chance and I endeavored to play a benefit game for Anson," said Murphy. "But he would not stand for It. It woul dbe far better, however, for the league to make a position and have Anson fill It. For instance, as supervisor of umpires he would be of valuable assistance to President Pulliam."

The Hammond Masonic bowling team

which will meet and contest with the Whiting Masonic bowling team, will be selected at the Masonic alleys tonight at 7 o'clock. It Is Important that all of the members of the team and those who would like to offer their services on this occasion to be present

at the alleys promptly at 7 o'clock to get a little workout before the contest. Those who have been suggested for the team so far are Newell, Rose, Dr. Chldlaw, Dr. Oberlin and Fowler. It is possible that the line-up may be changed before the contest. It is expected that there will be a large num

ber of Masons present tonight and the

contest Is sure to be interesting. It is

reported that the "Whiting aggregation

will bring over Its band for the oc casion.

The bowling team representing the Hammond University club, has challenged the one representing the Ham

mond Athletic club for a game some time the latter part of this week or the first part of next week. There are good bowlers in both teams and it is expected that one of the best contests of the season will be the result of the

clash. It is believed that the university

club team can average close to 180

and it is know that the Hammond Athletic club has a good team. This game would probably be as good a

drawing card as could be billed. The Hammond doctors still have an idea that they can humiliate the University club bowling team. They have been throwing out Insinuations to that effect for some time. The University club members say that whenever the doctors are ready to make a good oyster supper the penalty for defeat

they will be ready to try conclusions. The Indiana Harbor bowling team met its Waterloo in Hammond last evening when the Bradford's defeated them decisively. In fact, in the fiveman three-game contest the Hammond boys won by 153 pints. The game was for blood from start to finish. Myers of Hammond had the highest average, and Rats of Indiana Harbor had the highest average for his team. The following is the score of the game, which decides the championship between the two cities: Indiana Harbor.

Battling Nelson, lightweight cham

pion and a member of The "Times sporting staff, says he thinks he'll wait thirty days, let Freddie Welsh claim the lightweight championship, then go out and whip him, and that he won't fight McFarland because Packey is an infant. What Battling has to say about the two men who are hounding him for a match will take their breath away when they hear it. It should shake Welsh's confidence and inflame McFarland with anger. Nelson talks contemptibly, sneeringly, slightingly, disparagingly and In several other similar ways of Welsh and McFarland.

When asked what he Intended to do in regard to the move taken by Welsh in posting $1,000 with the announce-

ed intention that if Nelson did not give him a match within thirty days he

(Welsh) would claim the champion

ship, the Battler, after a moment's

thought, burst forth with the follow ing statement:

"I just think I'll wait thirty days, let that guy Welsh claim the championship and then go out and give him a

fine licking."

Will you really fight Welsh?" he

was asked.

"Sure, I'll fight him." "Will you whip him?" "You bet I'll whip him." "Well, how about McFarland? He

also has posted $1,000? Will you let

him claim the championship?" sug

gested his questioner.

"I'll let him claim nothing," shouted the Dane. "I don't care to fight children. I introduced him to the Twentieth century Clipping Bureau people. He got into them for $50 or so and then, when hauled into court, refused to pay on the ground that he was an Infant. He can't talk to me until he pays his bills."

All of which adds much spice to tb merry war of the lightweights. Nelson left last night on a theatrical tour of the south. He has engagements in Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia and Texas. The Dane took with him films of his fight with Gans and Britt, which will be exhibited with a new machine. Bat secured 'Joe Galligan to go along with him and act as sparring partner in exhibition bouts. After finishing his southern trip Nelson will go to Texas for a week's engagement and then will spend some time on his ranch at Obar, New Mexico. From there he will go to Los Angeles and San Francisco. He expects to be back in Chicago in about six weeks.

Sox Owner Admits He Is in Doubt About Former Leader's Return.

COAST CLUBS AFTER THE LIGHTWEIGHTS

For the first time Charles A. Comlskey, owner of the White Sox, has expressed doubt about the return of Fielder Jones, the man who has managed the White Sox so successfully the past few years. At last the Old Roman

has begun to weaken. He admits that his confidence abo'-t Jones' signing a

contract has been somewhat shaken

and that already he has commenced to

figure out who will be the best man

to succeed Jones.

"I will send Jones a contract when

I mail the documents to my players

next month," said Comiskey, "but I am not sure that he will sign. All along

I have thought he would change his mind when the time came, but from what I have learned of late I am very

doubtful about his coming back to lead the Sox. We will miss him much, of course, but I can find a good manager and depend on it I will have a good ball club. The loss of no one man will

put my team out of the race.

Los Angeles, Jan. 19. The latest developments in the lightweight situation are as follows: Manager T. J .McCarey of the Pacific Athletic club tonight offered Welsh and McFarland 60 per cent of the gross receipts for a ten round no decision bout. Baron Long, representing the Jeffries Athletic club telegraphed to Champion

Battling Nelson at Hegewisch asking the Dane to name his best terms for

a Nelson-Welsh battle.

Freddie Welsh, by his unlooked for

posting of $1,000 to bind a match with

Nelson, has pulled off one of the

shrewdest tricks of the year.

But Packey McFarland did not allow

Welsh to hold the lead long, for his

check for $1,000 now rests side by side

with the vv elsh check tor the same amount. Harry Gilmore Jr., speaking for McFarland, said: "We pulled off this same stunt a few months ago, but we didn't claim the championship. One thing is sure, if the Dane does accept Welsh's challenge, it will look to the world as though the Battler considers McFarland too tough a game and is taking on the Englishman In preference to risking his title with Packey." Gilmore' was asked: "Do you mean to say that you are still willing to send McFarland against Nelson at the lightweight limit, 133 pounds ringside?"

Alcfcarlands manager hesitated a few seconds and then said: "I don't want to go on record right now in connection with that question. This is a problem which I will work out later on. I will name as a compromise weight for Welsh, 133 pounds at 6 o'clock. This is positively the best figure that we will make for the Britisher. My check for $1,000 is up now so far as challenging Nelson is concerned."

POLO "GAME TONIGHT

Big Event Between East

Chicago and Harbor at Hand.

It was decided at a meeting of the Hammond chapter, R A. M., to have T. O. Shillinglaw of this city journey to South Chicago with a defi, which he is delegated to hurl full and fair in the face of the bowling team representing Sinai chapter there. He is instructed to arrange the game for Feb. 2, two weeks from tonight, and have as good a crowd present as possible. As It is understood that the South Chicago Masons would rather bowl than eat there is probably a good game In prospect.

(Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Jan .19. To

night the long-promised polo game be

tween East Chicago and the Harbor

will be played. Captain Heintz of the

Calumet team will bring his warriors to this city at 9 o'clock and promises

Captain Cooksey one of the hardes

games that the Harbor team has ever played. Will they do it? That is the

question that lovers of the sport are

asking each other today and the Har

bor team has about $300 that they are

willing to wager on their chances

The pent-up enthusiasm of the two

teams, their almost personal Invective against each other, should result in the

playing of a fast game and as the game

means more than any other in the league series, the Harbor boys can be

depended upon to, do their best.

Manager Landefield has advertised

the game throughout the country and

expects a record-breaking attendance.

There will be skating both before and after the game and should either team

win, arrangements will be made im

meaiaieiy ior tne playing or the re

turn game at the East Chicago rink on Thursday night. The Luna Park

team will play in that city on Satur

day night and between the three games the followers of the exciting game

should feel well satisfied. The standing in the Indiana-Illinois Roller Polo league at present stands:

Fear Reign of Oral Betting

at Suburban Park Will Be Short-Lived.

New Orleans, La., Jan. 19. In spite

of the order of Governor Sanders that

gambling was to be stopped In Jeffer

son Parish, and a direct letter to the Marrero brothers, sheriff and district

attorney of the parish, all the gambling

houses at Southport and Gretna were

in full blast yesterday.

The matter of the betting system

being carried on at Suburban Park is attracting the greatest attention here, and strong efforts are being made to

Btop wagering at- the .course. The system is criticised vigorously.

Governor Sanders is in New Orleans,

but will not express an opinion. The wiser heads say that If the oral bet

ting system were not in violation of

the Locke law City .Park would start up, but those in charge still have in mind the fate of those who started It

some time ago and who were found

guilty of violation.

Local Boy Was Much Cooler lhan

His Opponent, Joe Savage No Blood Shed. A story in the Arkansas Gazett.

printed in Little Rock, tells oi ine Anderson-Savage fight and has one of

the best accounts of it that has yet been received in this city. The following is the story of the fight:

In the fourth round of a fast-fought

contest, Carl Anderson or cnicago

knocked out Joe Savage, aFort Logan fighter, by a straight right to the jaw, last night, at the Capital theater.

'The contest throughout was char

acterized by the rushing tactics jf Savage, which gradually changtd to the defensive as the mettle of his antag

onist was tested and found 'right.' Not a drop of blood was shed In the contest, and five minutes after the knockout blow Savage seemed to be In the best of condition. "The two men weighed In at 2 o'clock at 158 pounds. Both appeared to be In excellent condition, but the local man was easily the favorite of the good-natured crowd. Savage appeared to be somewhat nervous, which condition grew on him when Anderson failed to put In his apearance In the ring until a tiresome wait that lasted, fully fifteen minutes. Was a Clean Kaookovt. "The first round was all Savage's, and at time he appeared to have And-' erson worried. Again and again ha rushed In and landed heavy rights and lefts on the face and body of the Chi

cago boy. The work of Savage In the

first and second rounds was fast and confident, but In the third and fourth he appeared to realize that his only, hope was to finish the fight aa soon as possible, and went In for that purpose.

"In the fourth round Savage ap

peared to realize that he had no chance with his cooler antagonist, and half

groggy with the effect of the blows that Anderson rained on his body and jaw, attempted to cover. The temporary cessation in the fighting: gave Anderson the chance he was waiting' for. He braced himself and as Savage straightened swung his right to the Jaw and Savage went down flat on his back. "The knockout was clean-cut and Savage remained wlthont moving until Referee Miller counted ten that gave the fight to Anderson. . As soon as he was declared the winner, Anderson went to Savage and assisted him to rise. Savage was carried to his corner where he rested for" a few minutes, then walked to his dressing room unassisted."

Papke, former middle-weight cham

Papke's heart is weak.

SUNDAY BALL IN INDIANA

Bill Introduced in Legislature to Repeal Statute. Indianapolis, Jan. 19. Representative Thomas Brolley of North Vernon introduced in the Indiana legislature yesterday a bill to repeal the statute prohibiting the playing of baseball on Sunday.

Announcement that the bill was to be introduced brought forth many ministers, who will attempt to defeat it in the senate. Similar bills have been killed by the previous legislatures.
