May 23, Bessemer Park Assembly hall will be the scene of a concert, given by the Women's Trade Union League. All the young ladies who will take place in the concert have been well trained for the affair, which is expected will be a decided success. The program will consist of numbers from "The Garden of Flowers," by L. Denza. Thomas Folaiek, aged 16, who was Injured by a department store wagon a week ago, was taken to the County hospital, where he is in a serious condition.

The father is almost prostrated with grief at not having seen his little girl alive. The street car crew carried the dead baby to the home, where the banquet was to be held. When the father saw the dead baby, he went almost insane. Instead of a huge banquet a funeral will take place in the Borszeigh home.

He the ambulance. was taken home in A TerrlbVe Custom. Old customs die very hard in China, and In sereral parts of the Celestial empire it is still considered a high act of virtue for a woman, to publicly commit suicide after the death of her husband. According to the law, the proceeding is actually legal in some provinces, and such is the state of public opinion that in districts where it is officially prohibited the authorities rarely interfere.

INDIANA HARBOR. Arrangements have been made with the street car people by the committee In charge of the old-times and hard times' dance, to be given by the Royal League, at the Auditorium tonight, to run a late car between Indiana Harbor and East Chicago for the accommodation of the East Chicago people, who will attend the dance.

Some practical jokers got into Dr. William Greenwald's apartments in the Indiana Harbor State Bank building Tuesday evening while the doctor was helping to entertain the audience at the May festival concert in the Auditorium and piled all his furniture in the center of his office. The intruders took the bed apart and removed all the pictures from the walls and as well as every movable piece of furniture in the rooms in one big pile. The doctor took the joke (?) philosophically and laughingly remarked that he thought he could make: a pretty shrewd guess as to who the villains were. A blackhand letter was left on top of the pile, but the doctor has not, as yet, turned the document over to the police. Dr. Frederick Sauer left last night to attend the meeting of the state board of health in Indianapolis. The. doctor will represent Indiana Harbor at the session.

DRIG001E GETS DECISION m OVER CLARENGE ENGLISH , Dk 1

Before a crowd that was estimated to be not more than 300 strong, Jack Drumgool of Chicago Heights was last night given the decision, on a foul !n the fourth round, over Clarence English of Chicago before the Columbia Athletic club of West Hammond. As usual, the bouts were good but the management was so poor that the patience of the crowd was tried to the last extremity through numerous delays, which prevented the fights from beginning until after 9:30, when they were scheduled to begin at S o'clock sharp. There were also tiresome delays between rounds which made the whole entertainment a bore. The Chicago delegation, particularly, was very much rut out at the delay, and as the fight was not over until after 12 o'clock it was late before the Chicago fans got back to their homes. The main bout promised to be interesting at the start. Jack Drumgool put up a good fight and seemed to be the equal of English in the opening rounds. Both of the men are alleged to have struck low, however, and it Is

HOLDS BIG

EVEN AT

Philadelphia, Pa., May 20. Jack f Johnson did not appear in the role of a champion here last night, as Jack O'Brien not only held him to an even break, but succeeded In wiping the golden smile" off the colored boxer's visage early in the contest. If a ver dict had been possible Referee McGuigan would undoubtedly have caleld the affair a draw. Immensely outweighed and seeming ly afraid of his big opponent's right, O'Brien put up a really good battle. Neither man exerted himself to any extent, and the throng which packed the building was disappointed at the qual ity of work shown. Talk that the affair was a "frame-up" was current before the battle, but although the men boxed slowly they showed no signs of prearrangement. Johnson's work was especially disap pointing. Both men depended almost entirely upon their lefts, and Johnson would wait for O'Brien to lead. Often when the Phlladelphian made a pass at him the colored boxer contented him self with blocking and slipping into a clinch. t O'Brien Is Felled Twice. It was only in the first and fifth that the big man showed a flash of form. He knocked O'Brien down with a stomach punch in the opener, then floored him in the fifth with a blow to the head. O'Brien also went to his knees once from the force of a swing he tried to land on Johnson's Jaw. Long before the fifth, however, Johnson had lost the smile which adorned BAN 15 LIFTED OFF WABASH "Little Giants" Will Meet Minnesota at C'ville on Friday. Crawfordsvllle, Ind., May 20. Is the ban to be lifted permanently by the members of the "Big Eight" off the shoulders of the athletic teams representing Wabash college? The question is being asked on all sides since Graduate Manager Harry Eller sprung a surprise by announcing that a game had been scheduled with the Minnesota university aggregation of diamond stars, to be played here Friday afternoon. It has been the opinion for two years that a "Big Eight' 'team was not al lowed to play "Wabash, and this prac tically has been the answer that Man ager Eller has received from members of the Indiana "Big Eight" when endeavoring to arrange contests with them. It is thought that the annonncement that Minnesota has scheduled with "Wa bash will also be a surprise to Indiana and Purdue universities, but the game has been booked largely as the result of an opinion by Coach Ptagg of Chicago, that any member of the conference can legitimately play the scarlet if they desire, even though freshmen are ustd in the Wabash lineup. From this it looks as if several of the "Big Eight" schools have hidden behind the conference rulings as a pretext, in order to escape humiliation of a defeat at the hands of a much smaller institution. Action was taken against tlx local institution by Purdue and Indiana universities two years ago following a victorious campaign made by the "Little Giants" on the football, basket-ball, track and baseball fields, after which they stated that "Wabash must abide by the conference rules, if its teams were to be met, as the new rules forced the issue. The last two games of baseball played with Indiana proved victorious for Wabash; the last two games in football with Purdue were victories; the last intercollegiate track and field meet in which both of these institutions competed was a victory, all of which were preceded by numerous victories In basket-ball. The game with Minnesota Friday will be the first contest In two years which

said that Referee Malachy Hogan warned both to be careful amout fouling. In the first part of the fourth round Jack Drumgool doubled up and fell to the floor, writhing in agony. Hognn Given Decision. Referee Malachy Hogan turned him over and then raised his hand as a sign that he gave the prostrate man the decision on a foul. There was considerable confusion and some protests, but the decision was unalterable. The promises of a big crowd did not materialize, and it is evident that the fact that the management of these affairs has always been bad has been

noised about until the outsiders refuse to be ensnared again. In the semi-windup, between Matt Lavin of South Chicago and Kid Homnland of Chicago, the South Chicago lad had the best of the argument. Homn land, however, was not in condition and Is said to have worked all the day of the fight. Levin's victory was by a small margin. Kid McHenry of South Chicago and Kid Jean of Chicago Heights fought six fast rounds, and McHenry was given the decision. his countenance early in the bout. His expanse of girth seemed to trouble him, as, aitnougn Deautiruiiy muscled, as ai ways, about the shoulders, he had a dis tinct tendency to develop a stomach which was obtrusive, to say the least. O'Brien's stinging punches to the face took off his smile and made him look serious at several stages. i The accasion was quite a gala affair, as a large delegation come down from New York to witness the bout. Long before the time for opening the doors the streets in front of the club were crowded, and holders of tickets had to shove their way through the throng. They entered the club flushed with their exertions and seemed relieved ance they were inside. Johnson Demand Ilia "End.' Johnson visited the club early In the evening, after spending the afternoon cruising about the city in automobile, and demanded his $5,000 guaranty. It was paid to him at once In $1,000 and he smiled broadly as he left the place. O'Brien came In from his training quarters earlier in the afternoon and went directly to the home of Anthony J. Drexel Biddle. Trains from Washington and Pittsburg kept bringing in special excursions and all the avail able seats on the market were soon sold out. About 3,700 persons were jammed Into the narrow seats and about 500 more wedged into the aisles when the gong rang for the first bout. The highest priced seats, which were held at $10, found a ready sale at $15 among the late comers, who had to buy from the speculators. "Wabash has had with any of the teams which are now in the conference. The scarlet lineup will be regular, with Irwin In the box. ED OORRIGAH Ifl EXIT; CAREY flEOASTER" Hawthorne Track Passes From Former Owner to Ex-Alderman. "Tom" Carey is the new- "master of Hawthorne." By a quitclaim deed filed in the recorder's office in Cook county, Illinois, yesterday the man who was once boss of the stockyards district, for years alderman from the Twenty-ninth ward, and leader of the local demooracy, took title to the famous old race track. The transfer was made to him by his oldtime friend, the hero of many bitter racing feuds, Edward Corrigan, and his wife, Winifred Corrigan. For the once beautiful race course now overgrown with weeds and dilapidated on which Corrigan spent a fortune, the veteran horseman received but $2,000 in cash. The balance of the consideration of $26,000 paid for Corrigan's equity in the track, goes to cover a note about to fall due, which Mr. Carey had indorsed, i Behind the cold facts and figures in the quitclaim deed placed on file, lies the final chapter in the fall of Corrigan, once the most powerful and among the wealthiest racing men in the country, to a condition of practical destitution. It was a pathetics ending to the fortunes of one of the most famous characters in American turf history. There were tears In the eyes of both men as Carey handed Corrigan his check for $2,000. Corrigan gazed at it and remarked: "Tom, that check looks bigger to me today than $100,000 did in years gone by." Corrigan is broke. He borrowed money to come to Chicago from Lexington, Ky., "to do what he considered the square thing," to quote Mr. Carey, by transferring his title, to the old race track to the man who has backed him financially at different times for many years. He bought the deed, containing his wife's signature, as she was unable to come. She now lies at the point of death In a hospital In Lexington

NUIANu AWAKUtU

SIATE GUN CLUB SHOOT Indianapolis was selected as the 1909 meeting place of the Indiana State Gun club, which opened a two-day tournament in Marlon j-esterday. The 1909 meeting will be held on the grounds of the Indianapolis Gun club at a date to be selected by that club later. Three Indianapolis men were elected officials at the election of the State Gun club at the Marion meeting yesterday. They are E. H. Tripp, president; Joseph Michaelis, vice president, and Harry Denny, secretary. About fifty members from all parts of the state are participating In the shoot of the Queen City Gun club at Marion. Members of the state organization are always glad to hold the state shoot In Indianapolis, as that city is the most logical place for the event and the Indianapolis Gun club is well equipped to handle It. The latter did not ask for the shoot that closes at Marlon today. HOODOO SMASHED ANDGAME LOST Business Is picking up in the camp of the Sullivans. They smashed their long-enduring hoodoo for an instant yesterday, scoring the first run In thir ty-eight innings, but the flash merely riled the debutting Pilgrims to darker deeds, and with Salvator Steele pitch lng algebraic slants victory No. 1 went to Boston, 5 to 2. Lake's right-hander was the original man of mystery, while bil Bill Burns, overcome with emotion on the occasion of his Sox premier, was little better than a human target. The rest was easy. Changes, some of them intentional and others forced through a chain of luckless circumstanoes, transpired with kaleidoscopic rapidity during the prog ress or tne entertainment. manager Sullivan took a mighty fall out of his cast of characters prior to the battle In a desperate scheme to bolster up tho swatting column. George Davis went to his old job at second and Purtell whisked over to third, while Tannehill displaced Parent at short. Dare Devil Dave Altlzer quit his Job In cen ter field, making room for Doc White and the fun proceeded. THREW GAME AWAY Philadelphia, May 20. Reulbach threw away yesterday's game between the Cubs and Phillies almost before it got started, forcing three runs upon the Murray men and enabling them to win finally by a score of 4 to 2 aft er the champions had made a desperate but futile uphill struggle. The weird exhibition of pitching by Reulbach, who hit one man, issued two passes, allowed a single and a sacrifice, and who pitched only two balls out of sixteen near enough the plate to be hit, wa-s bad enough for the. champions, even if the luok had not turned against them and stopped them in their desperate attempts to retrieve their fallen fortunes. PENNSY AGAIN WHIPS TIGERS Wins by 4 to 3, Exactly the Same Score as First. Princeton, N. J., May 20. More consistent hitting at proper intervals gave Pennsylvania her second victory over Princeton here yesterday afternoon before a crowd of almost 10,000 by the score of 4 to 3 in a sensational teninning pitchers' battle. The score and the number of hits which Princeton secured off Schultz. the star twlrler, were identically the same as In the first titlt of the teams two weeks ago.

"LOT OF OLD MAIDS," SAYS DABNEY President of Cincinnati University Talks. Cinclnantl. O., May 20. "They are a fine lot of old maids, aren't they?" It was with an expressive accent that President C. W. Dabney of the Cincinnati university made this declaration concerning the action of the conference of nineteen New England colleges last week in Boston, where a resolution was passed condemning organized cheering at college sports as "unsportsmanlike and unworthy" on the ground that it was Intended to disconcert the players of the opposing teams. "Next thing they will be passing resolutions condefnning pink lemonade and whistling and college colors," continued Dr. Dabney. 'What are you golne to do with the college boy if you bottle up his enthusiasm and refuse to let him holler? This is a first-class way to go about try ing to kill the college spirit."
