INDIANA HARBOR.

Word has just been received in Indiana Harbor of the death on July 8 of Perclval Rosier, the son of Henry Rosier, one of the Harbor's earliest land men.

New York, July 22. Chance's world's champions whipped the persevering dodgers in a brain-racking combat yesterday, winding up the series at Wash1 ington Park in a 3-to-2 victory. It , took the master hand of "Three-Fing-ered" Brown to steady the Lumleyites, however, after Overall had taken the covint in two grueling rounds, the seventh and eighth, but with the miner I going great guns Brooklyn couldn't batter down that margin of or.e run, and the titled troupe copped the bacon. "Big Jeff" was invincible throughout the early stages of the struggle, pitching a perfect imitation of his game of last Saturday, when the local triumphed 1 to 0. Tin tnp sevenm it molten kp n merry little jest tor the cuds, wno nail bolstered up a lead of three tallies I ... - tnrougn trie meamm oi some naitny clouting in the fifth stanza. With this margin the cubs fought on desperately to stave oft any budding rally that mig-ht crop out in the dodger ranks. And it was well they did, for the locals struck a terrific clip toward the close of the fight. 6UDDEH AUTOS Tourists Find Journey to Council Bluffs Most Difficult on Tour. SIX CUBS ARE PENALIZED Treacherous Mudholes Render Driving Hazardous Long Trip for Today. Council Bluffs, Iowa, July 22. The perfect score cars suffered heavily in yesterday's run of the Glldden tour from Fort Dodge. The long grind of 196 miles lengthened from the original schedule by necessary detours to avoid unpassable roads resulted in the elimination of six cars from the perfect score list and the additional penalization of two other cars. The usual number of minor accidents, caused for the most part by treacherous bog holes along the road, marked the progress of the tour into Council Bluffs. With the trip half completed, but eight cars remain with a perfect score in competition for the Glidden trophy, five for the Hower cup and two for the Detroit. The hitherto perfect score cars which received penalizations yesterday were the Harmon No. 4, Jewel No. 7 and Glide No. 10, Glldden cup entrants; the Moline, Hower cup Nos. 100 and 102, and the Premier No. 53, competing for the Detroit prize. Additional points were added to the penalization previously given the Jewel No. Ill and the Chal mers-Detroit No. 3. BIT RETURNS TO BOX Irl NEW YORK Nelson Praises Wolgast and Is Ready to Take Him on in Longer Bout. Battling Nelson returned yesterday from the Pacific coast, and will leave todav for New York, where he is to give a boxing exhibition for the bene fit of the New York newsboys. The lightweight champion looked in the best of shape, and had nothing but com mendatory remarks to make about Ad Wolgast, whom he recently met at Los Angeles. "Wolgast is a good, tough, young boy," he said, "and he put up a great bout but I'm willing to take him 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 concerned I'm willing to sign with Packey, and 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 'HAS BEEN' IS 'TO BE,' 'MAYBE George Gardner Carded for Good Trimming. George Gardner, former light heavy weight champion, and Walter White head, a colored fighter of Duluth, were matched yesterday to fight ten rounds at Calumet, Mich., August 17. Gardner has been out of the ring for some time and it hardly seems possible that he will be able to cope with the rugged, rough fighter from Duluth. In his time Gardner was one of the best big men that ever stepped Into the ring and If he defeats Whitehead the result will be a big surprise to the fighting world

',- POWER BOMS REAGH 6REEHJAY AT LUST Arrapahoe, Swastika .and Uandi Are Class Winners After Stormy Cruise. Milwaukee, Wis., July 22. Arrapa hoe, Swastika and Uandl were the winners in classes A, B and C respect ively in the second annual motor boat race from Chicago to Northern Lake Michigan waters, which ended at Green Bay yesterday, after a five day battle with wind and wave. Only a few of the twenty original starters finished the race. The Arrapahoe, which won class A, led the fleet all the way, but was the only one to finish. In class B Waubesa, Wanderer, Kitchi. Gammi, finished in that order after Swastika, and In , class C. Animal finished second. Class D, the little fellows, had a good showing, with Weewee first. Twister second, Ado third, with Doze and Threefus also finishing. The Arrapahoe had an exciting experience Sunday In run ning from Two Rivers to Sturgeon Bay. She was the only bot to start, and was forced to throw off both mufflers in order to buck the sea successfully. SOX PLAY A GREAT GAME Memories of former dreary hours went a-gllmmerlng yesterday, when the white sox hit their fighting stride in the opening round. Another outburst in the third, and the second division champs had wiped out that seventeeninning tie of the first series. 6 to 3. It was a gala occasion for "Big Bill" Burns and a day of bitter regret for Phenom Johnson, heaving as the will ing understudy to Mr. N. Altrock, who departed last night to don a miller's garb in the A. A. Comiskey's ponderous side-wheeler had a method in his madness, seeming, as it were, in again bucking the expals. The big chap was bristling with eagerness for another shot at the low ly gang that walloped his benders in the initial combat. Ills exhibition speaks for itself. A hit and an error in the third netted two runs for the tall-enders. while clean sticking in the sixth yielded another. Bill slipped a total of five safeties to the harrassed gray legs and at all stages held them in a viselike grip. SAYERS HAS BOILS; FORBES TO FIGHT GOODMAN HERE Matchmaker Howard Carr of the Columbia Athletic club of "West Hammond was notified by wire yesterday that Morris Payers, the Milwaukee lightweight who was to have met Danny G-oodman at West Hammond on Saturday afternoon, has developed three boils and would be unable to appear. Carr last night secured Clarence Forbes to take the place vacated by Sayers. Forbes, who started training a few days ago, jumped at the chance of meeting Goodman at catchweights. The semi-wlndup will be between Jack Herman and Billy Heller. WOULD BOX ABE ATTELL, NOT MONTE Boston, Mass., July 22. Jimmy Walsh, the bantamweight, received an offer tonight from Calgary, away up in the British northwest, to fight Monte Attell at the bantamweight limit on Labor day. Walsh declined the offer, as he figures he can get more coin meeting the brother of the bantamweight champion here in the east. Walsh and Attell have met three times, the Boston boy winning twice, once by a knockout and the second contest being a fifteen-round draw.

The man who made the "spit ball"' famous is not good enough now for even the losing New York Americans. A report has reached here from Detroit that Manager Ptallings has asked waivers on Chesbro. Not that Stalilngs is lacking in appreciation of the great work Chesbro has done in former days; it is simply that Chesbro's days of usefulness are over. It is hardly likeiy that Chesbro will have to go back to the minors, for he is rich as bail players go. CUBS SIGN COLLEGE BASEBALL STAR Heath of Attlebore, Mass!", Secured by Champions.

KLING BIDS GOODBY TO CUBS Says He Will Never Play With Chicago Again. Kansas City, July 22. Johnny Kling, billiard magnate and former cub catcher today threw down the gauntlet to President Murphy of the champs for the steenth time and announced that he was through with the Chicago club for good and all. Probably the heat affected the peerless backstop or else the liberal offers made for his services by the other clubs must have touched "Noisy John" on some sort spot for he was certainly out of sorts. "Sure, I would like to go to Brooklyn," said Kling, "or any other club, for that matter. I don't care where. One thing is certain I will never play with Chicago again, it doesn't make ny difference how much they give me. I am through with Murphy for good. "As a matter of fact, I gave President Murphy all the chance in the world to secure my services, but he refused all my propositions, and now I am through with him. It is not I who has acted unsportsmanlike. The shoe Is rather on the other foot. I am not worrying any, as I have a good business here." Friends of Kling think that the catcher is peeved because the- owner of the world's champions won't sell him, so as to give Kling a chance to get I part of the purchase money, or at least make a fight for it. CHESBRO MAY QUIT GAME Declares He Will Retire Un less Claimed by Majors. New York, July 22.

Hans disagreed with his father when a young lad. and just before he ran away he told his mother that she would not hear from him until he had achieved fame and fortune. A few hours before a tall, athletic young man rang the door bell, Mrs. Holmer remarked to her daughter that it would be odd if some day Hans walked in on them suddenly. When the door was opened stranger threw his arms about the his
