Lake County Will Get Taste of New Popular Sport.

AT THE LEWIS SKATING RINK Korler, Hoart Star, Says Place Is an Excellent One for Training Entries Now Open. (Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Feb. 10. Are you read? Lake county sprinters, young and old. ctiiu 111 A. it , L aiijiriic n iiu lias tx guiru 1JV of wind and a pair of rubber soled shoes have an opportunity to try a real Marathon. Lake county is to enter the i list of Marathon-stricken cities and on Washington's birthday Feb. 22 the Lewis rink will be in readiness for the event. Manager Lewis decided upon the ac ceptance of the novel entertainment yesterday afternoon, after watching Kohler, the Hobart star, run several miles around the rink floor. Kohler was highly pleased with the rink as training quarters and Is becoming more and more confident that he will be able to make good In the Rlvervlew races on Friday night. Kohler will no doubt enter for the Lewis rink event on the 22nd and while he Is somewhat above the usual In running ability, there are plenty of youngsters in Lake county who can make good on the endurance queslon, for Marathoning is due entirely to ability to judge the pace of the opponent and ability to "stick to it." The race at the Lewis rink, as now proposed by Manager Lewis, will be for sixteen miles, although the stretch may be changed to Include a twentyfive mile dash. Entries Now Open. Entries for the race may be made either through The Times or direct to Manager Lewis. The only restriction placed upon any runner Is that he must be an amateur registered under the rules of the A. A. U., which governs all amateur athletic sports. An effort will be made to secure entires from Hammond. Whiting, Crown Point and Gary and Manager Lewis is con fident that at least two entries should be secured from each city. High school students are to be made especially wei come and as the date Is near the open lng of the spring training season, no better start could be made by the sprinters as an opener for the field meet training campaigns.

Boston, Mass., Feb. 9. Just to show Boston fans that there are two Eng lish boys who can whip the light weight pride of this town, Matty Bald win, one Owen Moran did the same thing to Matty for twelve rounds at the Armory A. A. last night that Driscoll had done a few weeks previous. In a savage fight the Briton gave Mat ty a fine lacing and easily earned the decision which he was awarded at the finish of the encounter. Moran outclassed Baldwin at the fine points of the game, was his equal at all others, and the result could not have been otherwise except for an accident to the Briton. The way Moran danced around Baldwin, cut him up with lefts and rights to the face, fre quently escaping without a sign of a return, made the big crowd gasp with astonishment. The little Briton, with all his cleverness, showed also that he is a real fighter. Time and again he stood toe to toe with the sturdy local lad and slugged away for dear life, and almost SPLIT UP TERRITORY Semi-Pro League Magnates Divide the City Anson Has to Cancel Game. Magnates of the Chicago Baseball league, otherwise the semi-pro bunch, are in an argument already. They have begun allotting the territory and of course a few hurdles have appeared for various clubs to jump. "Cap" Anson arranged a game for April 11 with the Cub recruits. That looked like ready money for "Cap," as the event would mark the opening of the season in Chicago. But territorial rights bobbed up. It appeared that Anson, by playing on the National league grounds, would be invading the semi-pro territory of the West Ends, Frank McNichols' club. So "Cap" had to call off his game with the Cubs. Since that contest was called off "Cap" has booked a game with the New York Giants, to be played on the Polo grounds April 13. Anson will take his colts east In the spring and probably play several games in New York and Philadelphia. Preparing to observe territorial rights and otherwise act like regular eaguers may be a bit premature by the semi-pros. It begins to look as though "their application for recognition by the national commission was going to be ignored. How the commission can extend any protection to a league which is already Invading the territory of three other leagues Milwaukee has a club in the Chicago league Is a question that Is worrying the members of the commission, who are anxious to do what they can for the Chicago semi-pros. Making an exception in the case of the local teams might prove too dang erous a precedent, and so far none of the commission members has promised to vote for admitting the local organization to the regular list of leaguers. All they can give is sympathy. SPORTING BREVITIES. Second Baseman Lewis of the Ke wanee Central association, after hold ing out some time, sent his signed contract from his home In Escanaba, Mich., yesterday. Pitcher Shafer, who is playing ball in California during the winter, has signed for another year with the Terre Haute Central league team. Fifty men who attended the "sub rosa" boxing bout at the Pastime Athletic club were subpoenaed yesterday to appear before the Henry county grand Jury at Cambridge today as wit ness in an investigation started by that body. The Wabash College basket-ball team defeated the Rose Polly five at Crawfordsvllle. Ind.. last night by a score of 51 to 19. The Notre Dame basket-ball five con tinued its triumphant march through Michigan by defeating the Detroit Athletic club five at Detroit last night by a score of 31 to 24. Captain Fish of the Harvard football team is out with a denial of the report that Carlisle is to be dropped from .the football schedule the coming fall.

11 ft SAVAGE

BATTLE invariably Baldwin was the one to show that he didn't relish such work by worming into a clinch. Baldwin simply could not keep away from Moran's left jabs. Owen shot his left to Matt's face without number left to Matty's face times without number in every round and "Matty appeared helpless to stop the punch. As early as the fourth round Matty's right eye was closed and he was troubled to locate the Briton with his one good optic the rest of the way. Moran cut Baldwin's face up badly and Matty was anything but a pleasant looking sight at the finish. The Briton also did a lot of damage about the body. Baldwin did his best work In the clinches, managing to punish Mor an about the kidneys on several occasions, but never enough to slow him up. The last round was a fierce setto all the way, with Moran having a big shade all the way through the bout However, Baldwin was still full of fight and showed no signs of being un able to stay several rounds more. Hi Will Order Prosecution if Evidence of Bout Is Presented to Him Knows of no Violation During His Regime Thus Far. TIMES' Bl'REAV AT THE STATE CAPITAU (Special to Thb Times.) Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 10. If tk prosecuting attorney In any county Tvuere a prise fight takes place does not prosecute the offenders Governor Marshall will instruct the attorney Keaernl to go to the place of violation and prosecute the violators. "But," said the governor today: "I am not going to pre-judge men. I am not going to say that a man is a criminal before he commits any act, and I am not going to make any grandstand plays. When any citizen furnishes me with information that a prize fight has taken place in Indiana I will notify the prosecuting attorney to proceed against the participants and if he fails to do so I shall instruct thp attorney general to conduct the prosecution in the name of the state." The position of the governor on the question of prize fighting is made clear by the fact that there is a clamor that It Is up to him to stop it. So far as the governor knows there has not been any prize fighting In Indiana LEWIS

FALLING BRICK BATS

L East Chicago Druggist May Get Out an Injunction. MRS. GOODFRIEND INJURED Sidney Veaco, Who Occupies Old Postoffice Building, Seeking Another Location. (Special to The Times.) East Chicago Ind., Feb. 10. The dis mantling of the old postoffice building has resulted in one injury, and on the grounds that the falling of bricks about his store annoys his customers, Sidney Veaco, East Chicago's popular young druggist, may bring injunction proceedings against the owners of the building. The accident, while not serious, might have been fatal, and while not serious, might have been fatal, and while her arm was not broken by the blow, Mrs. A.VS. Goodfriend of One Hundred and Forty-Fifth street, is suffering painful bruises. She was strick on her arm by a brick falling from the third floor of the building, a distance , of about fifty feet and It was by the narrowest margain that she escaped a fearful blow on the head. Mrs. Goodfriend was emphatic in her denunciation of the contractors for not placing railings around the building and shortly after her narrow escape large boards were placed in front of the scaffold work on Chicago avenue. Looking for Another Site. Sidney Veaco is still occupying his former stand in the post-office buildinfl. Although proceedings have been filed against him in a Hammond justice court demanding the surrender of the property, Mr. Veaco has employed competent counsel and by securing changes of venue and continuances has been able to retain his location. He is perfectly willing to move, however, as soon as he can get a good location, and until he does move he does move, declares that he does not propoes to have the lives of his customers endangered by falling brick-work. The filing of In junction proceedings would undoubtedly mean the delaying of building operation for at least several weeks. The addition in the rear of the building ii almost completed, a force of men working every day in the erection of th walls. The laborers have also demaged the Interior of the build to such an extent that It has been necessary for Mr. Veaco to brace up the ceilings and side wals with large timbers. During storms rain pour in through apertures made by the contractors and Mr. Veaco declares that he will make the building owners Py for every cent worth or goods damaged. since he became governor. Friends of the governor say that he cannot punish a man before a crime is committed, and that after a prize fight has been held, if any are held, no one seems to be willing to give any Information about it. One question that Is still unsettled In the light of the governor's declaration, is that of what constitutes a prize fight. Mayor Bookwalter of this city said yesterday that the contests which are held in this city are not prize fights, but boxing contests, and that there Is no law to prohibit them.
