EAST CHICAGO. The services at the Methodist church last evening in celebration of the ninetieth anniversary of the founding of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows was so well attended that standing room was at a premium. About fifty members of the order attended in a body, marching from the hall on Forsyth avenue to the church dressed in full uniform. Rev. J. II. Palmer delivered the address, taking for his subject, -The Fatherland of God and the Brotherhood of Man." Mr. Falmer prefaced hi3 sermon by a short dissertation on the virtues and benefits of the Odd Fellow, how the lodge came to be organized, what it stands for, and the progress it has made in the ninety years of its existence. The minister is well qualified to speak on the question, as he Is an Odd Fellow himself and has gone, as he himself expresses it. "from cellar to garret" in the lodge.

The subject he chose was particularly apropos to the occasion, and was handled in a masterly manner. Special music was secured for the occasion. Mr. Roy Morrison singing a solo, and the choir a beautiful anthem. Stimulates your appetite our Beef Iron and Wine 50c. Veaco & Beach. Mrs. A. H. Lawrence of Terre Haute, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.

The State Une Sluggers won their fourth straight game of the season yesterday. Again the Sluggers proved themselves the champion baseball players of Hammond between the ages of 12 and 14 years, defeating tho State Line Stars by a large margin, the score being 14 to 2. The game was played at the State Line grounds Saturday morning and was one of the kind of games the fans enjoy most. The State Line Sluggers showed in this game that they out class any other baseball team ranging between the ages above mentioned. The Stars were outplayed at every stage of the game, and were not only outplayed but were unable to get far ther than second base until the seventh inning. The inability of the manager of the State Line Stars to get his team together was the cause of their defeat. There were but three of the regular players that showed un and the rest were pickups which happened around. J. Litzan again showed his ability as a slugger, hitting out a two-base hit and scoring a run. He also struck out seven of the other players, while the pitcher for the Stars got four fan outs. Harold Fleck, one of the State Line Sluggers, hurt his finger in the first of the game, which gave him considerable pain, but he played his position until the finish. M. Kuhn, also a player for the Sluggers, was laid up with rheumatism and was unable to run. He was put in to umpire the game. The lineup: State Line Sluggers: A. Jeager, c; J. Litzan, p; W. Krug, ss; B.

The St Joseph's Win Their Fourth Game This Season.

The St. Joseph's club won their fourth game of the season yesterday I by downing the All Saints by the score i of 9 to 5. The game was one that j baseball fans have longed to see. The St. Joseph's club proved to be their 1 masters and was witnessed by the largest attendance of enthusiastic i baseball fans that have gathered at any . other game this season. I Yesterday's game was the first the I All Saints have lost this year. About i five hundred people gathered to see the two teams clash, and it was impossible to keep them off the field on many occasions. The score probably would not have been so large had the fans kept off the field. The game started at 1:43, both teams confident of winning, but the All Saints could not handle the stick as perfect as the St. Joseph club, which was the cause of their defeat. The slugging that the St. Joseph club did won the game for them. Both pitchers pitched ragged ball, each team getting many unnecessary hits and bases on balls. The St. Joseph's club will play the Gunther Juniors of Chicago next Sunday afternoon, and it is expected that a great number of Hammond baseball fans will go with them. They will leave on the 10:14 Nickel Plate Sunday morning. The public is cordially invited to accompany them to Chicago. The lineup was as follows in their batting order: St. Joseph club: J. Winkler, lb; L. Engleton, If; H. Bohling, 3b; Hoffman, 2b; Hillbrich, cf; E. Klein, ss; J. Young, rf; B. Jefgins, c; E. Young, p. All Saints: W. Filan, 2b; W. Maueh. ss; B. Carroll. If; B.

S UP AGAINST IT Blooming Team at Clark Station Introduces a Few New Stunts. (Communicated.) The Hammond Stars opened their 1909 season with the worst bunch of baseball robbers in Lake county. The Clark Station White Sox proved to be a bunch of hoodoos yesterday afternoon when they defeated the Hammond Stars by a score of 15 to 0. In writing for a game with the Hammond Stars they gave their ages as between 13 and 16 years, and well, if there were not any of the players over 16 years, they must have some big overgrown babies in Clark Station. They had their own umpires and they must have got a commission out of the purse if the rank decisions they gave had anything to do with it. They were backed by some of Clark Station's notable married men, who they used as rooters. The base umpire quit in the middle of the game and one of the Hammond Star's umpires was put in to umpire, which did not suit the other side. On one occasion the umpire called a man safe on second and the pitcher for the White Sox gave one of his great wind pushing stunts by saying, "I will give it to you a punch in the neck," which would have gone pretty hard with him a week from next Sunday if he had only carried out his threats. They '.-pre to play on regulation size grounds when they wrote the manager of the Hammond Stars, but if twenty-seven feet between the pitcher's box and home plate is regulation size, it is a new one on the baseball players and fans. It is hard to beat the umpire and a baseball nine, especially when you are out of your own town. But the Hammond Stars will have a chance to show them how to play ball a week from next Sunday when the Clark Station White Sox will come to Hammond. They will have a chance to show them a regulation baseball diamond and It will not be surrounded by trees. They will also know that they will get a square deal. The lineup was as follows: Hammond Stars: Briden, c; Goeringer and Wawrzniak, p; Wawrznlak and Goeringer, ss; J. Bowman, lb; W. Rutz, 2b; C. Bowman, Sb; Baker, If; Klaclnski, cf; Rigg, rf.

attorneys to take action in cities like Terre Haute and Indianapolis, where clubs have exhibitions. The governor says that if the prosecuting attorneys do not act he will call on the attorney general. Indianapolis and Terre Haute have had several exhibitions since Governor Marshall came into office, and as nothing was said by the governor the promoters believed that the statement in his inaugural address, that he would let the local authorities enforce the laws, meant a reversal of the Hanly policy, which had stopped fights In the state. The governor says that "his attention has been called" to the fights. He also has written to tho prosecuting attorney at French Lick to say that gambling must be effectually suppressed there. CLIMBING UP, THOSE SOX Continuing their turbulent struggle toward the topmost branches of the pennant tree those struggling White Sox, with Jimmy Scott in the pilot role, walloped St. Louis yesterday, winning a brilliant hurling duel in the ninth round, 1 to 0. It was the coming-out occasion for the pride of Wichita, and he never missed a trick, holding the Browns to three hits, fanning six highly touted sluggers and walking but two of them. CUBS GET ANOTHER St. Louis, April 26. Chicago made it three out of four fro mthe Cardinals by winning yesterday's game, 5 to 4, after a wild scramble. In which Chance was forced to use two pitchers. Pfiester went to pieces in the fourth inning, after having the game cinched. to 0. Behind him the Cubs had the worst attack of rattles they have enjoyed this year. Four runs scored and men were on second and third waiting to be driven home, and the huge Sunday crowd was wild with excitement before the brakes were put on and the Cardinals stopped. MAJESTICS WIN The Hotel Majestic's baseball team defeated the Maine restaurant's crack baseball team by a score of 4 to 0 at Harrison Park, Hammond, yesterday afternoon. The game belonged to the Hotel Majesties all the way through, the Maine hashers having no chance to cross the home plate at any time. ISSUE A CHALLENGE Whiting. Ind., April 26.

A man giving the name of Henry Schmidt of Dayton, Ohio, aged about 40, who attended the game yesterday afternoon between Cincinnati and nttshurg. was struck on the right temple by a "foul tip" ball and fell unconscious in the grand stand in the third inning. The accident caused great excitement and confusion, and it was at first thought the man had been killed. At the Seton hospital, where the man was taken, it was stated today that he was seriously injured. He suffered a cor.cussio nof the brain and a possible fracture of the skull.

GLABBY III

T Whips Billy Griffith of Cincinnati Inside of Four Rounds. New Orleans, La., April 26. Jimmy Clabby of Hammond perpetrated one of the most scientific assaults of his career at the Royal Athletic club Saturday night, putting Billy Griffith of Cincinnati out after three and onehalf rounds of one sided fighting. The affair was just short of murder. It was the opportunity for Clabby to show what a fast, clever, strong fighting machine he Is. Clabby will fight Jack Morgan at Indianapolis on Wednesday night. GARY HAS A CLASSY TEAM Alma Maters Shut Out Gary But the Game Was a Dinger. In a close game of baseball. In which a rare exhibition of the national pastime was given, the Gary team suffered defeat in its first game of the season. Score, 2 to 0. While being humbled the steel city aggregation showed such class that they can easily rank with the big semi-professional teams from the Windy city. The fact of the matter is that the team which took them Into camp, the Alma Maters of Soutli Chicago, won the city championship last year and had an easier time doing It than they did to defeat Gary on their own- grounds yesterday afternoon. An immense crowd gathered at the grounds where two athletic events were scheduled, one being the baseball game and an added attraction in the way of the finish of a Marathon race. The two swelled tho number of rooters until the stands and fields were packed with a sea of bleaeherites. The playing was- lightning fast, considering ttie fact that the weather was anything but conducive to snappy work. For eight long innings not a score was made by either team and more than that, not a man on either team succeeded in getting as far as the third sack up to this timp. In the ninth inning the halloon went up. An error, a pass and a single was responsible for the blow up. The er ror was made by Jackson, the Gary third baseman, who up to that time had ben doing marvelous work in covering the third sack, one of his feats being a double play, unassisted, which brought forth considerable applause. The greatest feature of the gam from the Gary viewpoint, however, was the fielding of Shepherd, who pulled down everything In sight in any j section of the lot, coming at any rate j of speed and with the wind blowing j the ball in every direction. Nine putouts were credited up to this fielder. The Gary players could not connect with the curves handed to them by Diamond, the Alma Mater pitcher, and only one man. Grimes, hit the ball safely. The Gary catcher secured two hits and none of the other eight men could land safely. The opponents secured six hits from Knapp. who also pitched a good game, with good support.

YOUNG GORBETT

fill! 8Y CHAMPIONSHIP BEE

Former Featherweight King Declares He'll Challenge Winner of Nelson-McFarland Bout on July 4 at Frisco.

New York, April 26. There's one man in New York who thinks Young Corbett has "come back." That man is Young Corbett himself. We talked the matter over today and the little exchampion seems to be more confident of himself right now than ever before. "It's the championship that I want," he declared. "I've got that bee In my bonnett and it's there to stick. I'm strong as an ox .and I know that I'm hitting harder right now than ever before in my life. I've beaten eight men right off the reel. That's stepping along some, isn't It? "Look at the men I've beaten. Did anyone ever drop Marto before? Isn't Bob Wilson considered the hardest hitring lightweight around 'here, with the possible exception of Leach Cross? I got him. I beat Harry Ferns with body blows as I did Keyes. No one ever backed Keyes into a corner and had him as badly oft as I did in that sixth round, did they? Does that show that I shouldn't be champion? Snys He Hajs Not Come Back. "People can't understand why I've come back. I haven't. I've simply picked up where I left off just as Jeff is to do. The only reason that I ever stopped was because they broke my heart when they took my title and handed it to James Edward Britt. After that nothing mattered. I lost fights to Nelson, Hanlon and Hyland that I would have won If they had still been calling m the champion. But I have arrived again and the fellows boxing now are easy for me. "The trouble with all these new fellows is that they don't know the first thing about the game. They don't know when they hurt a man and when to hit.

The Indiana Harbor baseball team celebrated the opening of their season yesterday afternoon by giving the Pullman Atheltio club a good hard beating:. The weather was cold and raw, overcoats being preferable to baseball uniforms. However, the athletes did not see mto mind the cold nearly as much as the large shivering crowd which watched them perforin. An unfortunate feature of the game ! occurred in the first inning when First Baseman Goettler of the visiting team was struck in the head by one of Pitehl i er Ford's swift ones and was put hors du combat. It was some time before the injured player regained consciousness. One of the substitute players from Pullman took Goettler's place. The game was . well played, consider - Ing the weather, Gockenbach of the locals being the only one to make any

when he's wincing. I generally act in stead of stepping back and wondering if it hurt the man in front of me. "They all talk about my fat middle -my round body such a mark to hit, they say. Let me tell you that nobody ever hurt me with a body punch. It was always that way. I have a round body by nature. I never was muscular and a muscle never showed on me In my life. De-flares Nelson la Through. "With Gans and Nelson out and mind you, I believe they are both through where is the lightweight title? It's in the air, I tell you. Let Nelson fight Packey McFarland. I'll be right at the ringside to challenge the winner. I'm getting down to weight and I'll make it at 3 o'clock for any of them. No ringside weight, however. "Nelson? You saw the man he won the title from? So did I. I'd fight him tonight if I could get him. And as for the clever fellows, I'm for them: always was. I could whip the clever ones because they couldn't keep me off. I'd like to get Jem Driscoll. Beat him? Sure. Why, Abe Attell would whip him in a fight over ten rounds. Gee, I'd like to get him, I tell you." "One thing I long for is a chance to pay Jimmy Britt back by knocking him out. I'd go to Australia to fight that fellow; anywhere. Just let me get off the weight. Of course I had a little on Keyes, but it was a burden Instead of an advantage. I was packing extra fat and he was solid muscle. But I'll take it off and be cock-o'-the-walk inside of a year. Mark that? Now will he? I give him up. He's beyond figuring, and I don't think there ever was a fighter quite like William Rothwell of Denver, better known as "Young Corbett.' costly fumbles. He let two balls get away from him, one of which resulted in a Pullman plaj-er crossing the plate. Ford and Galvin, the Indiana Harbor battery, did the most effective work with the stick, the former getting two two-baggers and the latter making a three-bagger and a single. The score was Indiana Harbor 9, and Pullman 3. The following is the lineup: Indiana Harbor: Gaivin, c; Ford, p; Johnson, lb; Gokenbarh, If; Feterson. 3b; Mf-rley, cf; Krickson, rf; Barnrv, ! ss; Sternberg. 2b; batteries, Ford and ! Galvin.
