o'clock, did not arrive until 1 a. m. Attorney J, A. Patterson and Rudolph Houtschildt were of the number, as were also several Harbor ladies.

THIS AFTERNOON ON COURSE Runners Believe That Good Time Will Be Made Not4 Withstanding Damp Condition of Roads Through Locale of Race.

The twenty-seven marathon runners who will compete today in the first big. event of this kind that the county has seen, began arriving in Gary at noon and most of them looked in good condition in spite of the fact that the weather recently lias been a handicap to their training. Some of the best known stars in the Calumet region have entered the endurance contest and the race promises to be exciting throughout. Today the water has subsided so that the approach to the Broadway bridge over the Little Calumet river can be used by the runners today. The road over the entire course in fact is as fast as any one could wish for, the rain having softened the roads up so they will be easy on the runner's feet and they will not be annoyed by the dust. The chilly weather caused several of the entrants to withdraw, but the stars for the most part were on the starting line at the crack of the pistol. It is believed that the cold weather will make the race slower than if the BRiTT IS IN HOSPITAL Manager of Battling Nelson and Stanley Ketchel Is Found Unconscious. PICKED UP IN A DOORWAY Is Suffering From Alcoholism and Has Morphine Tablets in Pocket. New Tork, May 1. Willus manager of Battling Nelson, weight champion of the world, Stanley Ketchel, middleweight pion, was found unconscious Britt, lightand of chimin the doorway of 40 East Fourteenth street shortly after midnight yesterday morning by Policeman Hand of the Mercer street station. He called Dr. Sullivan of St. Yin cents hospital. The doctor said the man was suffering from alcoholism and took him to the hospital. Shortly afterward it was learned the patient was Britt. but he was unconscious and no statement could be obtained from him Britt, his wife and baby have been staying at the Hotel Bartholdi for the last four weeks. He went there after coming from the west to match Ketchel with Jack Johnson. At the hotel this morning it was stated that Britt had not been there, all night. Mrs. Britt could not be seen. When Britt was taken to the hospital five morphine tablets were found in his pocket. At the hospital today it was said that Britt had recovered consciousness, hut was still very sick. It was expected, however, that he will be out in three or four davs. TO PURDUE IN NINTH INNING Wisconsin Trimmed by a 6 to 7 Score. Iafayette. Ind., May 1. In a ninth inning rally Purdue defeated Wisconsin In an exciting cold weather baseball contest yesterday afternoon, the score being 7 to 6. Knight, Wisconsin's star pitcher, retired in the seventh with a badly injured finger, the result of a hot liner striking it. Shade was batted hard and Charters succeeded him. Wisconsin 0 0 3 0 0 2 1 0 0 6 Purdue 0 0 1 0 0 1 3 0 2 7 Two base hits Tragesser, Knight. Three base hit Westover. liases on balls Off Shade, 1; off Knight, 4; off Nash. 1. Struck out By Shade, 5: by Knight, 8: by Nash, 1. Hit by pitcher Boltz, Myers. Umpire Clark of Chicago. DIDN'T GET TOGETHER Pitcher Walsh and President Comiskey did not get together yesterday, though the athlete visited at the Sox clubhouse while the magnate, in a pair of hunting boots, overlooked the building operations only a few yards away. Edward refrained from pulling at the Comiskey latchstring and the latter did not whistle for Edward. That's about all there was to the day's negotiations. WAUSAU TEAM IS SNOWBOUND Wausau, Wis., May 1. Manager McCarthy and his squad of lumberjacks of the Wisconsin-Minnestota league are snowbound, the diamond being under several inches of the beautiful which fell last night and today, and has put a stop to all practice. Pitcher Dunbar is back from St. Paul and will play here this season. The recruits are showing up well and the early indications are that the team will be faster than last season.

TAKES PLACE

weather had been mild, and this fact should be taken into consideration. Two more prizes were added today for the benefit of the runners, these being another gold watch and another watch fob. These will be given to the fourth and fifth man to finish in place of the prizes that were assigned to them before. Chairman Sam Sax went over the course yesterday afternoon in a buggy and found the road in fine condition The people of Hobart are more excited over the event, if possible, than the people of Gary, and the streets will be crowded when the runners pass through. The favorite in the race in Gary is Earl Koehler, of the Gary high school, who has had considerable ex perience in Maraton races. The favorite in Chicago is John Sugrue, who has won most of the Marathon races in South Chicago during the past season. Sugrue is hardly more than a boy, at the present time, and believes that his racing is making him muscle-bound so that the race at Gary today will be the last which he will enter for two years. KETGHEL-LANGFORD HATCH GALLED OFF Mc Carey Refuses to Yield to Alleged "Strong Arm" Tactics of Britt. Los Angeles, May 1. Did the Ketch el-Britt-Langford forces combine to give promoter T. J. McCarey of the Pacific Athletic club what is known in matchmaking parlance as the "strong arm?" The developments of the past week would tend to show that there was at least an "understanding" of some kind between the Ketchel and Langford camps. Langford had promised to meet KItchel for $2,500 on a win, lose or draw basis, the promoter agreeing to pay Ketchel $10,000 for his end. Upon the receipt of this news in the Lang ford carnp the first hitch made its ap pearance. Langford wired that he thought he should have at least $3,000 for his end and McCarey yielded to the demand. The first inkling that the local pro moter and his assistants had that all was not right was when they learned that Willie Britt had made a myster ious visit to Langford's home in Bos ton. A few hours later came a tele gram from Langford asking that the sum to be paid him be increased to $ 000. McCarey knew the Ketchel-Langford match was well worth $15,000, but he grew suspicious of Britt and declined to alter the original agreement. Then the eastern parties began to get anx ious and telegram after telegram was flashed across the continent. They all bore the signature of Willus Britt. "Langford will sail for London unless you agree to his demand for $3.000," was a part of one of Britt's messages. Thoroughly convinced by this time that there was a screw loose somewhere McCarey dropped negotiations. "The match is well worth $15,000, as it is second in importance only to a Jeffries-Johnson battle,' said McCarey today. "When I find out that everything is square and above board I will give Langford $5,000, but as it row stands there are several things in connection with Britt's actions that call for an explanation." Meanwhile Langford is being whirled over to England on a fast liner, while Ketchel and Britt are in the east trying to throw all the blame for the failure onto McCarey. COLD HURTS TROUT FISHING Sport Held Back by Adverse Weather. Wausau, Wis.. May 1. With two weeks of the trout fishing season past, there are no present prospects of good fishing for some time to come. Indeed .the hopes are not as great as at the beginning of the season, for there has not been a pleasant day since that time, and a blizzard has raged since last night. with no indications of abating. There are two feet of snow in the woods at many places along the' streams, and it will he several weeks I before the ny fisherman can hope for any success. In spite of cold and snow some of the bait fisherman have made creditable catches, but it was all still fishing in the deep pools and was not sport worthy of the name. KING'S HORSE BEATEN Newmarket. England, May 1. The One Thousand Guinea Stakes of 100 sovereigns each, for three-year-old fillies, run here today, was won by Klectra. King Edward's Princesse de Galles was the favorite, but after a game struggle with Elect ra she was beaten by a length.

Who Pays the Freight? Every time the railroad puts the screws to the manufacturer he passes it onto the wholesaler, and the wholesaler adds it to the retailers' price and the retailer takes it out otyou. That's not riews, you say? Certainly not but the news follows thusly: James J. Hill, Lord Strathcona and Lord Mount Stephen have found in the humble freight rate a splendid instrument to build a great fortune of 400,000,000 or thereabouts. The experience of Spokane, Wash., with Mr. Hill's freight rates throws so much light into this mysterious subject, that Charles Edward Russell has made of it a most interesting article. When you are checking up your bills from the butcher, the grocer, the landlord and the rest of the crowd that gets your paycheck, you'd better stop long enough to learn how much of each of them is going into freight rates. Mr. Russell's article will help you in your thinking.
