i STORIES Report Now Has It That Joliet and Pullman Will Attempt Running Game EFFORT TO FOLLOW FAIR Preparations Already Under Way to Run Extra Line of Rails to the Course. Racing in the suburbs of Chicago may mean the opening wedge for the larger tracks, according to plans now being laid by some of the magnates. If the schedule proposed for Joliet is followed out. there will be meetings at that place and Pullman after the present trotting season is over. It is said that J. E. Ingalls, owner of the track at Joliet, has spent $3,000 already in fitting up the course and preparing for an extra spur on the raSiroad, which will be run to the course. It is planned to give $15,000 on the Great Western circuit, and, after the fair of August, it has been suggested that a running meeting be held. The running races that H. F. Getze, one of the largest stockholders in the half-milo course at Pullman, has ambitions to make his course a second Washington Park by enlarging its confines. At present, the track is only one-half mile in circuit. The site is on the largest undivided tract of land In Chicago's city limits, however, and it could f asily be made a course of one mile. There will be a matinee at the West Chicago Driving club July 3. One of the features will be a race between four fast trotters, Marnut (2:14 ',4), Exquisite (2:14), Coplln (2:134) and McMorrell (2:14) being those scheduled to compete. Coplin comes from the stable of John O'Hern and McMorrell hails from the string of Police Inspector Wheeler. Both horses cost more than $1,200 when purchased by their present owners. THE "TIGES" REPEATED Pin the laurel wreath on those champion tigers. As repeaters they head the class. And the same applies to "Big Kill" Burns, the ponderous southpaw now earning his cakes with the sliding sox. For eight innings in the curtain raiser Sunday Burns was unhittable. Then he "blew," tossing off the game in the final round. That defeat stung "Bill" stung him to the quick and he begged for another shot at the leaders in yesterday's battle. "Bill" had the same brand of goods as in Sunday's game, but in the ninth everything went wrong and Detroit Smothered Ed Walsh, winning in the tenth, 2 to 1. GIANTS' PENNANT RUINED BY STORM Lightning Strikes Flagpole at Polo Grounds. New Tork, June 29.

"CYCLONE" 1ST WIN FOR TORLAND GO Packey Declares He'll Box Sycamore Dane Providing He Defeats Goodman. BOUT SET FOR JULY 17 Stock Yards Puncher Will Begin Active Training Within Few Days. If Johnny Thompson is winner over Danny Goodman in their battle before the Columbia Athletic club at West Hammond next Monday he will have an opportunity of meeting Packey M" Farland the afternoon of July 17 at th neighboring town. Packey met Howard Carr, matchmaker of the West Hammond club, yesterday and agreed to box Thompson July 17, with the proviso that the Sycamore Dane doesn't meet defeat in the interim. MoFarlaml and Carr are understood to have made all arrangements as to the money end of the proposed battle, and there is nothing to prevent the bout, e.xcept the improbable defeat of Thompson by Goodman. McFarland said he was aroused over the repeated statements of Thompson and critics that he was afraid of the "Cyclone" and declared he was willing to box Just to convince the Dane not only that he was not afraid but that he had no reason to be afraid. If the battle comes off the men will box ten rounds. The Saturday afternoon feature is a new one, but it is thought there will be a good crowd out to see the bout, as Packey and Thompson have been filling the public press with their disregard for each other for a long time. Matchmaker Carr assured the fighters that a purse would be offered which neither could afford to let get away and it is his intention to follow up his inaugural bout that between Thompson and Goodman with another as good. The Goodman-Thompson battle is attracting a good deal of attention, though it is generally considered the young south slder has no more than a fighting chance with the Cyclone. The latter, it is said, will have to guard against the clever work of the fast south sider, but Goodman has a harder task keeping out of the way of Thompson's wallops. Both fighters are training hard for their bout. Thompson's promise of a battle with McFarland, his long cherished ambition, has made him put more than usual energy into his work. Packey acted as his own manager in the negotiations with Carr. He plans to begin training within a day or two, but will not do his hardoft training probably until after the battle of July HEVELLA WINS EMPEROR'S CUP Takes Third Sonderklasse; Second Victory. Kiel, June 29. The third Sonderklasse race was sailed yesterday in very unfavorable weather. There was little wind ami considerable rain.

The antigambling crusade which has swept over Japan and caused the closing of sixteen race tracks has left hundreds of high class horses stranded. These facts are givon by J .J. M. Carst, a business man of Yokohama, just arrived in this city. He said: "After the war racing became very popular in Japan and in the other oriental countries.
