streets. Messrs. Barrows and Malone

the publishers, intend moving into the

their new quarters next week.

Ed. Slicker of East Chicago pulled a boy, about 9 years old, out of the lake yesterday. The youngster, whose name Mr. Slicker failed to secure, was play

ing about on the pier that runs out into the harbor at the entrance to the canal. Suddenly he lost his balance and fell into the water. It happened that

an ore boat was comnig into the har

bor at this time, and this created such a disturbance in the water that when

the boy rose to the surface he was

washed farther out toward the lake,

Mr. Slicker was fishing on the pier, and

noticing the accident, threw out his

pole in the direction of the struggling youngster when he came to the surface the first time. The boy was either too excited by his danger to realize

that the pole meant rescue for him, or

else he failed to notice it In any event

he sang a second time, and Slicker decided that there was no further time to be lost so he threw off his coat and

leaped into the water, grasping the

drowning lad as he rose to the sur

face a third time. He was carried to the pier, where he soon revived and left

for his home without informing his de

liverer of his name.

Mr. and Mrs. O. B. Lloyd left yester

PRAISES WQLGAST'S SKILL

Salt Lake City, Utah, July 21. "Say

for Billy Papke and to the entire world, that he will never fight a negro." said Papke, in an interview here this morning. "I have no more intention of flght-

ng Sam Langford for one of the New

York clubs than I have of trying to

push over a six-story building.

While in the city for a brief dip in

Great Salt Lake, Papke received two offers from New York clubs tendering

him a match with Sam Langford, pro

viding Ketchel will not accept.

Both Billy and his brother Ed, the

manager, insist that tne ivewanee noy

will never fight Sam Langford. The

two will leave here today for the east.

CALENDAR OF SPORTS FOR THE WEEK.

Battling Nelson reached Chicago yes-

terdav from the Pacific coast and will

depart today for New York, where he

is to give a boxing exhibition for the benefit of the New York newsboys. The

lightweight champion looked in the brst

of. shape and had nothing but com-

mendatory remarks to make about Ad

where Papke expects to accept one of wolgast, whom he recently met at Los the several theatrical contracts which Aneele? '

have been offered him.

"Outside of a few minor engage

ments, my next fight will be with Stan

ley Ketchel," Papke said. "Although

we have had several encounters 1 oo

not believe that Ketchel will claim he has anything on me. Ketchel is my game, and he knows full well that I

am his legitimate opponent."

OH, WELL, PITTSBURG

DROPPED GAME, TOO

New York, July 21. Terrific hitting by McElveen yesterday robbed the

champion cubs, of a chance for hay

making. In the seventh inning the

dodger recruit banged a homer to the

farthest corner of the field, counting

Berger ahead of him and in the ninth

round the same McElveen poled a sing

le, scoring the run that topped the

world beaters, 6 to 5.

Incidentally the Lumleyites succeed

ed in routing Jack Pflester, the mighty

southpaw, during a wild rally in the

third stanza.

While all this was transpiring at the

Washington Park grounds the drowsy

Quakers, driven to desperation by a

long chain of defeats, rose in their wrath and swatted the cock pirates. There's where the champs missed con

nections for a victory yesterday would have helped Chance's men materially in their uphill battle for the league leadership.

STIEGLITZ PARK, Mr. and Mrs. Reedy of Whiting were visiting friends here yesterday. Miss Lizzie Gorman went to Hammond yesterday. Miss Dora Stallbohm of Chicago was here on business.

Mrs. A. Wood of Black Oak was vis

iting friends here yesterday.

Mr. and Mrs. J. Spindler of Hobart

was visiting friends yesterday.

Mrs. O'Connell of Whiting was here

SOUTH CHICAGO NEWS

"Wolgtst is a good, tough, young

boy," he said, "and he put up a great bout but I'm willing to take hlrn on

any time he wants to go over the distance route. I don't know who I'll fight in New York. They can pick their own man. So far as McFarland is concern

ed, I'm willing to sign with Packey if he can make a good showing with either Thompson or Frayne, I'll give him a couple of pounds if he can't make

the lightweight limit. I'll be back in this city inside of one week and then Intend to rest for a couple of months."

Nelson said that he intended to pro

ceed slowly back to the coast after he got through his work In the east, and

that he expected to stop off for a time at the P.ar-O ranch in New Mexico.

Thence he will go to his ranch at Livermore, Cal., where he will rest for a time, and then he will take up work in the ring again. He says it is possible he will retire in the fall. Nelson laughed at the idea that Wolgast could possibly have beaten him if the bout had been longer. "My lucky number has always been 23," he said, "and if that bout had been set for twenty-three rounds Wolgast would have taken the count."

The Battler has now developed an

educational trend of mind and la sending his younger brother, Charley, through the University of California's classical course. Ills other brother is

on the Battler's ranch.

TRAP SHOOTERS MEET

SOUTH BEND IS

WILLING TO HELP

knocked unconscious when the two engines hit and could not shut off his

engine, which was going toward

Eighty-sixth street.

The hot ingots of steel were thrown

ten feet on top of a string of Elgin

Joliet & Eastern box cars, and the fire

department had to be called to extin guish the fire.

The accident happened at 5:45, and Slater, who was on the night turn, had just reported for work. He is at the company's hospital and is unconscious at last reports. The other engine on the steel mill dinky jumped when the collision occurred and was not hurt. Slater is 32 years old and lives at 9228 Ontario avenue. His wife is in a serious condition as a result of the accident.

Engineer Is Burned. Lying pinioned between his seat and the firebox of his engine and uncon

scious, Joe E. Slater, 9228 Ontario avenue, was seriously injured when his engine turned over at Eighty-sixth

street in the yard of the Illinois Steel ! company after it had been in a collision with anothe engine near the rail mill. The way the wreck happened was that Slater was going at a great rate of speed, and was going for coal at the rail mill and another dinky engine was coming from the steel mill with white hot heat of Bessemer steel for No. 2 blooming mill, going in the opposite direction as Slater and going fearfully fast. As it happened neither of the men were looking out the cab windows until the engines were about fifteen feet apart, when Slater saw that a serious wreck would be the result he reversed the engine, which slid and crashed into the other with the steel on. Then Slater's engine started down the track, full speed, and when It reached Eighty-sixth street it overturned at the curve, pinioning Slater under the cab and scalding him. He was

John Smith. S928 Houston avennr, a

driver, was arrested Monday afternoon for running over and killing Catherine Grossman, 2 years old, who was playing in the street with her doll in front of her home, 7704 Dobson avenue. Smith is employed by Jacob Schlosser as a driver, and is being held by the police pending the coroner's inquest. Suits aggregating 400,000 were brought against the city for the heirs

of men killed in the intermediate crib fire of Jan. 20. The Cook County Press club have made extensive arrangements for an outing to Hudson Lake, Ind. Edward Bloom, 80 years old, 138 Seventy-fifth street, was found dead in his bed yesterday. John Thorpe, Jackson park landscape gardener, died at his home Sunday. The Masons of South Chicago have set July 30 as the date for their annual outing. It will be at Elliott's park. The case of Charles Morgan, who is said to be short In his accounts in the Eagle lodge, was continued until July 27.

Offers Giant as Sacrifice on

White Sox Altar.

South Bend, Ind., July 20. Angus Grant, manager and captain of the South Bend Central league team. Is

slated for a berth in one of the major leagues next season, according to information passed out at the local base

ball colony. Grant himself is silent on the question and Bert Annis, owner of the South Bend club, refuses to discuss the probabilities of his right-hand man

rising to the top of his profession. Although it is impossible to get any

thing definite as to the future of the local manager, It Is believed in South

Bend that if he goes to the majors it will be as manager of the Chicago

white sox.

Grant is best known as a coach and developer of young players than as a

performer on the diamond, although as

a second baseman he has no superior

in minor leagues. Grant's batting,

however, is not better than .240, and this wact lessens his value as a player.

i THOMPSON SEEKS

GO WITH WOLGAST

Cyclone Johnny Thompson wants to

prove that he can do better against Ad

Wolgast than did Battling Nelson In their recent meeting at Los Angeles and is willing to take on the Milwau

kee crack at a week's notice. Thompson, of course, prefers to meet Wolgast over a distance of twenty-five rounds or more, but will, go ten rounds If McCarey will stage the fight.

Thompson is confident that he can

stop the featherweight and if he gets on a match will gladly do 133 pounds

ringside. Barney Lichenstein, Thompson's manager, has written Coffroth in the hope that James will stage a fight between Thompson and Wolgast. If Johnny cannot get Wolgast he will take

on Joe Galligan, Harry Trendall or any other good lightweight with fair draw

ing powers. Johnny is training daily on his farm in Sycamore.
