DORS OF WHITING WILL

NOT CHANGE THEIR

Whiting. Ind., April 17. The members of the Whiting baseball team, who were known as the La Vendors during the past few years but who decided to change their name' to the Whiting Grays, at a meeting about one week ago gathered in the city hall last night, at which time the final steps for reorganizing the team took place. When the account of the last meeting appeared in the sporting sheet of The Times, Ed Simon of Hammond was much surprised to learn that the team had decided to change its name from the La Vendors to the Whiting Grays, and the news did not prove favorable to him. In an effort to see what could be done, Mr. Simon communicated with the boys, offering them great Inducements if he could induce them not to change their name. At the meeting last night this question was taken up, and thinking that the benefits they would reap by advertising Simon's La Vendor cigars would pay them to retain their old name, it was decided to continue to travel under the name of SOX SLAUGHTERED BY TIGERS IHJlflAL GAME Champions Maul Fiene's and Sutor's Curves for Sixteen Hits. Detroit, April 18. Frightful was the slaughter. By a merciless assault on Fiene's curves, followed by an attack on Sutor's left handed slants, the champion Tigers clawed those Sox for the third straight time yesterday at Bennett Park, 10 to 2. The games which went before were trifles when compared to that yesterday afternoon. For the Tigers lassoed sixteen hits and the Sox bobbled four times. In one respect the Sullivan kids showed an improvement in hitting. Seven safe lulus looked somewhat better, but their play in the field was not of that sparkling nature which brought them the league and world's pennant some years back. This was partially due to the luck which broke against them continuously. Not once did things go right for Fiene. Surely a sad tale. It seemed that the Tigers could hit anything. When they once got started, and it was early in the meeting, they couldn't stop. It was one of those days when Cobb or Crawford would have made a single with a toothpick. The ball wouldn't roll foul. Fiene gave all he had, and ordinarily it would have been enough for most teams. FOOTBALL DATES OUT Lapone. Ind., April 17. The football schedule for northern Indiana was ar ranged today at a meeting of the athletic committee of northern Indiana schools. The committee recommended a schedule of ten games of basket-ball. Tomorrow the athletic committees will make arrangements for the big track meet to be held in South Bend. The football card follows: Oct. 9 Laporte and South Bend. Oct. 23 Laporte and Gary.

( Signed) i Battling Nelson, Packey McFarland, J. W. t'offroth. Witnesses, Eddie Geiger. V. W. Huntley. Dr. J. Day, W. II. Eckersall. I'ackey McFarland and Battling Nelson signed articles for a forty-five round bout on the Pacific coast at a meeting in the Sherman House last evening, but it was only after long and personal argument that they did so. Both men seemed in danger of losing their temper at one time and some lively repartee was exchanged. Under the terms of the articles the men agree to the distance route, the 50 per cent of the gate receipts, which goes to the boxers will be split, 75 per cent to the winner and 25 per cent to the loser, and Malachy Hogan will be named as referee. The bout is to take place July 5 at the Colma club, conducted by Jimmy Coffroth, and the weight has been set at 133 pounds for 8:30 a. m. The bout is to go on at 2:30 In the afternoon. "Jimmy" Coffroth, the San Francisco promoter, who returned to Chicago yesterday and negotiated with the men, stipulated that both should be In San Francisco or some training camp in its vicinity thirty days before the bout. It is left optional with htm to cancel the bout In case either man seems to be In poor condition. Soft bandages are permitted and, in return for his concession In the matter of weight. Nelson will be the holder of all the boxers' share of picture receipts. the La Vendors, under which their success last year was eo pronounced. Charles Wlnkleman, manager of Bullard and Gormley's athletic department, Chicago, attended the meeting and the order was placed with him for new suits.

Since the closing of the race tracks, the police learned, many bookmakers planned to take bets on the ball games.

Further evidence that "Noisy John" Kling this year came last night when Claude Johnson of Kansas City, Kling's partner in the City baseball league venture in that town, offered to exchange games with the Chicago baseball league. The offer included the services of Kling as the catcher of the Missouri semi-pro team, which should definitely settle all questions as to whether the great catcher would re join the world's champions. Kling's offer was discussed at the Chicago league meeting yesterday, but the local semi-pros balked at the proposal to fly in the face of organized ball by booking games with him. The matter was finally laid over until the next meeting. The chances are th.Tt Kling will be seen In Chicago this summer as a semi-pro, if not as a member of the world's champions. The local clubs will play games with Kling in Kansas City if games with "Noisy John's" team are billed for Chicago. Jimmy Callahan's Ixgan Squares will play De Pau university this afternoon at Logan Square. Frank McNichols" West Ends will play the Felix Colts this afternoon at West End Park, Ed Almquist, the star twirler of the North Siders, pitching against Teddy Opfergelt. Jack Ernst and Charley Schaefer will catch. JOlSOfl WILL POST $5000 F0RLAflGF0BD Heavyweight Boss Says He Will Fight Colored Rival After English Tour. New York, April 17. A dead calm except that Jack Johnson is on the warpath again and will again invade the American office today at the dead of noon and deposit another $5,000. Johnson had this to say today: "It doesn't seem to please anybody that which Ah do. Ah was willin' an' mos' anxious to fight all three ob dose fellahs Ketchel. Kaufman an' Langfo'd. Ah posted ma' $5.nn0 in real monev fo- them to covah, and both Ketchel and Kaufman made good. All that J Langfo'd has had up aii along has been j hot aihr hot aihr. j "Kaufman upsot his own canoe by j frollikin' aroun' with Ross. That left it to me to decide for Ketchel. Ketchel

got de match. Ah understan' that Billy Helaney am ver' sore at me fo' givln' Al the tralmahlah. So Ah'm jest going to shet the whole caboodle of 'em up. Jest nach'lly goin' to wandah Into 5'o" office and place $5,000, and the first of 'em that covers it can have a six or a ten-round bout with me on my return from England. I'll fight 'era in Philadelphia or New York. "The money is to go as a aide bet, the wlnnah to take all," continued Jack. "Now, if Mistah Langfo'd really believes In his ha'ht that he can whip me, let him get his money up." When Billy Delaney was told that Johnson would be on hand with hia money he said: "He can post all the money he wants. It won't stir us up. My money la up for a forty-five round fight. We want no part of Johnson in a short fight." With Ketchel and the bronse terror of the ring matched, the queation of who's going to win haa 'em wagging their tongues. Ketchel has many friends. While hia Bise is to be deplored, the fact remains that he is growing all the time, and Wlllus Brltt says he will enter the ring weighing 180 pound. "Do you know," said Wlllus, "that Ketchel hold's three world's chara pionships? He won the welterweight title from Joe Thomas; he beat Papke for the middleweight crown, and he whipped Jack O'Brien, the best light heavyweight In the world. We are go ing to make it four In a row and out do Rob Fitzsimmons." CLABBY AFTER EASTERN PUGS Milwaukee, Wis., April 17. Jimmy Clabby will enter upon another eastern campaign early In May and his first opponent will be Tommy Quill. The contest will be staged by the Armory Athletlo club of Boston, Mass. The date will be selected later. If Clabby beats Quill he will seek a match with Mike (Twin) Sullivan, Harry Lewis or Jimmy Gardner. JIMMY CLABBY TO RIGHT MORGAN Indianapolis, Ind., April 17. Jimmy Clabby, the Hammond welterweight, and Jack Morgan of Indianapolis were matched here today to fight before the Indianapolis Athletic club, April 28. The me-a will box at 142 pounds. ROY SNYDER JOINS BLOOMINGTON CLUB Bloomington, 111., April 17. Roy Snyder, who has played shortstop for the Bloomington Three-I league for the last five years, deserted the holdout army today and signed. Charles McCafferty of Bloomington was released today by Indianapolis. He is a pitcher and will probably Join St. Paul. What Time is it ? What's Itia Hour ? What o'clock is it ? What Time have you ?
