Terre Haute, Ind., Feb. 6 Paper
were sent to the necretnry of Mate today for the incorporation of the LakeHide Athletic clnb, organised hy promoters of the fighting game here who
have become convinced that there is to be no interference with the sport.
The club members are mostly busi
ness men who like the game and who have assured the local authorities that there will be no excess in the conduct
of it.
When Governor Marshall was running
for the office last fall, the word went around that the flght lid would be lifted and since, he took office, the first part of last month, the flgrht fans in a large
number of Indiana cities have been get
ting interested la a revival of the sport.
Indianapolis advertised bouts for last Wednesday night and it was understood that the governor would make known his policy either by permitting
the exhibition or by preventing it and there was no interference.
The Terre Haute club has word from number of managers who want to
bring men here, one from New Orleans
for Abe Attell. Young Corbett was heard from today, and he promises that he is rounding to in his old form.

Maroon athletes opened the confer
ence indoor track season last night with a victory over the University of
Illinois at Bartlett gymnasium. Chi
cago's margin in the stubbornly fought
contest was but two points, the score
being 44 to 42.
The victory came as a great surprise
to Maroon supporters, few of whom be
lieved that Stagg's cripples would be
able to take the measure of the Ur-
bana athletes.
The Maroons' "horrible examples"
surprised the Midway rooters by their
class in the distance events, all of
which the Maroons took easily.
The Chicago team had the meet won I
before the relay race began, Jacobs'
victory in the pole vault giving Stagg's
team the necessary points. Eight points In the quarter mile, half mile
and mile and first places in the two-
mile and pole event, turned the trick
for the Maroons.

New York, Feb. 6. In one of the most
sensational Marathon races ever run
Tom Longboat, the Canadian Indian, de
feated Alfred Shrubb of England at
Madison Square Garden tonight after a
dramatic finish, in which the redskin
forced the Englishman to overtax his
powers and collapse.
Shrubb fainted during the twenty
fifth mile and was carried from the track. He had led practically all the way, but the furious pace he had set
told on him and the steady-going Indian was running a magnificent race at
the finish, encouraged by thunderous
shouts of a monster throng.
There was some delay in getting the race started, but. at 9:12 the runners were lined up, and a minute later were sent away. Shrubb Immediately flashed in the lead, and, assuming a fast pace, gradually increased the distance between himself and the Indian runner. Shrubb's tactics soon became plain. He swiftened his pace after going a lap or so, and, though Longboat ran with easy stride it was evident that the pace was too swift for him. When Shrubb finished the third lap the Indian was a third of a lap behind, and from there to the end of the first mile, which Shrubb finished in 4:32 sensational pace the Indian slowly but surely fell behind.

Jimmle Ryan, the well known base
ball man who has been in Gary for the
past few days looking over the field with the idea of putting in. a park In this city spent the day yesterday with his friends looking at possible sites.
The great difficulty that stands in tha
way of the project at this time, ac
cording to the magnate, Is that land la and around Gary within a reason
able distance Is so high that the acre-
age cannot be purchased for that pur
pose.
Mr. Ryan now believes that Gary is
the logical location for a ball park
and that the city will be able to sup
port one by the opening of the next
baseball season. He is anxious, there
for, if he does cast his lot with Gary,
to get the grounds at once and get his
team started before all of the desirable players are signed up and before the
season is well advanced.
"Jimmle" also visited a number of
business men and they gave him great
encouragement as they believe that he
is serious about the proposition to put
in a baseball park in this city.

MAKES TURK WAIT
Gotch Wanted on Stage, in
No Hurry for Match. New York, Feb. .6 Yussiff Mahmout will have to wait until Frank Gotch
gets ready to meet him in a world's championship wrestling match. The champion has discovered that he is in great demand for theatrical dates and proposes to get all that is coming his
way before signing to meet the Turk on the mat. Already he has accepted contracts which will keep him busy before the footlights until late in March. This will necessitate a change
in the plans of the Chicago promoters
who hoped to stage the match the last week In March. Gotch's contracts will keep him in the east and the champion
will not get west for some time to
come.

the first game by the score of 25 to 27, it makes it necessary to play a third
game to decide the championship of Hammond. The third game must be
played on a neutral floor and no mem ber of either organization will be al
