church will meet with Mrs. Ehret of
Hemlock street. The lawn In front of Charles K

was greeted with ever-Increasing rounds of bravos. He made an Instant

BIG ED" GETS HIS
New York, June 11. The white sox won a tight game yesterday from the hlghlanders, the score being 1 to 0 at the finish. Big Ed Walsh covered himself with glory and Joe Lake came out of the fray second best by only a small margin. The support given Lake was of the highest class or he might have fared worse than he did, for, the sox had several chances to score more runs. , Walsh pitched a shut-out game all the way through. He allowed but three hits and issued two bases on balls. The three hits were made off him in the second, third and fourth innings, but after that he blanked the natives without letting one of them get on base.

Crown Point, Ind., June 12. Bert
Miller in his Stoddard-Dayton "Fifty" will be the first driver to cross the line
when Fred Wagner fires the starting gun In the Cobe cup motor race on the Crown Point course at 8 o'clock next Saturday morning. This point was settled yesterday when the pilots met with the Automobile club officials at tha judges' stand to play the lotery for positions. Alvin J. Maisonville plucked No. 1 in the drawing for the Indiana trophy- trial set for Saturday, and will get under way in advance of seventeen other speed marvels. Position on the Hoosier circuit will play important parts in the outcome of the contests, according to all the noted drivers who have inspected the course. That's the reason practically every entrant was on the scene with eyes open and a rabbit's foot playing tag with Dame Fortune. For the
early "birds" driving the race without
mishap there's every chance in the world; but the belated starters will
have to struggle under vastly different conditions, owing to the narrow
tretches and comparatively few spots
that will enable one car to pass another.
Noted Pilots on Deck. It was a rare gathering of star driv
ers that assembled around General Ex
ecutive Frank H. Trego, F. E. Edwards
of the technical committee, Harold H.
heeler, the diplomacy executive, and
G. Slnsabaugh of the contest board,
who superintended the drawing. The
cracks of the country were included in
the lot, the daredevils of the wheel George Robertson, Lewis Strang, Jim Florida, Al Poole all men have have figured in more than one international struggle. If Herbert Lytle and Joe Seymour had been there the galaxy of stars would have been complete, but the
Apperson pilots have not as yet re-1
ported.
The jinx wasn't trailing Miller at any
stage, for he stepped up, the fourth in
line, to draw his number, while Maisonville was the twelfth pilot of the small car field to take a shot at the big cap containing the mystic papers. George
Robertson, winner of the Vaoderbilt cup, chafed and fumed while his fellow drivers took their turns and drawing next to last hoisted forth No. 10. He exhibited No. 9 In the draw for the Cobe trial.
Following a strong lament from the
pilots the racing officials finally decided to put the drawings up to the drivers individually, with the ruling
that where two cars of the same team came together with consecutive numbers one entry would be dropped back a place. This conflict occurred when
Wiseman drew No. 16 In the light car
race while his partner, Wright, received
17. Al Poole who had plucked No. 18 was shifted up to No. 17, one point ahead of his original number. In the Cobe cup race Hearn advanced a place through this meduim when Chevrolet
and Burman were split. Draws Drnlrcliff nmber, Lewis Strang hauled down No. 4 In the big race, the number being identi-

"Coffroth wants me to fight a forty-

before the Ketchel fight. "I'm glad Ketchel defeated O'Brien.

"Would you consent to Jeffries as the
third man in the ring?" was asked.
"No; emphatically no; no again. There are plenty of good men in this country who can act in this capacity better than
Jeffrl-ee; men who have been acting as the third man in the ring In all big
fights pulled off on the coast In recent
years. There is Eddie Graney, Jack
