EAST CHICAGO. Mrs. J. F. Both-well of Hammond and Mrs. A. A. Bothwell of Ross visited with Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Beach Thursday. Pete Krill of Fort Wayne, Ind., who formerly lived in East Chicago, dropped In on his old pals yesterday. Mr. Krill waa on his way home from Green Bay, Wis., where he has been fishing
for a couple of weeks. Mr. Krill had scarcely set foot in town before It was apparent to his friends that he had lost none of his powers of imagination. He started in by announcing that he used nothing but three-pound bass as bait while in Wisconsin and any time he pulled out a muskelunge that weighed less than 100 pounds he threw it back in as being too small to bother with. Right there la where Mr. Krill's friends cut in, before he had time tell another, and kindly, but firmly. Informed him that would be about all of that kind of stories, that the atmosphere of East Chicago had changed since he left and unless he guaranteed to cut out the tall ones he would be placed right back on the train, which had not yet started, and send him on his way to Fort Wayne. He promised and was allowed to remain until today.

A pleasant day waa spent and one of the features of the occasion was a baseball game between the women and the men. The former overwhelmingly defeated their masculine opponents by a score of 15

due to gallantry on their part.

Kearney, Neb., July 23. The Glidden
tourists were located -in Kearney last
night, which is said to be close to th
geographical center of the United States, located practically midway be
tween San Francisco and Boston. En
tertaining the A. A. A. travelers added
another distinction to this town, which
greeted the motorists cordially yesterday afternoon upon' their arrival from Council Bluffs. The distance yesterday, while longer than the day before, proved to be less of a strain on the cars which came through without penalization, with the exception of the Chalmers-Detroit No. 52 and the Jewell No. 111. The withdrawal of the Chalmers No. 3 contestant for the Glidden trophy was announced, the car to continue as a noncontestant. The penalization of the Chalmers No. 52, which leaves but one perfect score
car for the Detroit cup, amounted to six points for work on the commutator shaft connections and tightening motor bolts, both minor troubles. One and four-tenth points were added to the Jewel penalization for labor on spark plug.
Fewer accidents marked the tour yesterday, the most serious being the wrecking of a car owned by a resident of this section of the country, who attempted to race with one of the Glidden cars, the 104 Brush, and skidded into a telegraph pole, almost demolishing the car. D. B. Huss, the driver of the Brush, stopped for a moment ten miles from Kearney and was challenged by the owner to speed the cars into town. The machine left the road while
attempting to pass the another car, but
luckily, neither the driver nor his com
panion received more than a severe
shaking up.
St. Paul, Minn., July 23. James J. Jeffries and his sparring partner, Sam Berger, called on Governor Johnson yesterday at the capitol and were given a cordial reception. The big fighter told the governor that he was ready at any time now to defend his title as champion. "You look fit to go into the ring now and kill almost anybody, I should say," remarked Governor Johnson, as he took
in the square-built form of the pugilist. "You look like a man who could take care of himself all right," said Berger.
"I should think I could," the governor rejoined, laughing. "I would be will- j ing to put up $1,000,000 on the table here and go into the next room with Mr. Jeffries and let the one who comes out have the $1,000,000." Jeffries laughed. "You might argue me out of It," he said. "I'm not so sure about the other." The governor asked Jeffries his age and weiarht. Jeffries said he weighed
235 now, and had fought before at about
215 but weight did not bother him at
all, and he was in fine shape.
"You are going to defend your title
then?" said Frank A. Day, the governor's private secretary.
"Oh, yes," replied Jeffries. "I am going to fight again. I was glad to get out of the ring and did not want to get back, but I am back now and will fight Johnson." One of the party suggested that the
Jeffries-Johnson fight ought to come off
in ' Minneapolis. Governor Johnson laughed and said: "No, I'll have to draw the line there. You can't fight in Minnesota,"
games to be exact, 506 games. Before Joining the Evansvllle club Sager played In South Bend and was then known as one of the most consistent performers in the league, never being bothered by sickness or accidents. Sager was traded by South Bend to Evansvllle in 1906 for Ike Francis, who long ago severed his connection with the local club and is today the oldest man in point of service on the "champs" lineup. Having never missed a game since becoming a member of the Evansvllle club, Sager Is one of the most interesting players in the league and is
known to every fan on the circuit as "Ginger Lil." During the last four seasons he has never spoken harshly to an umpire, has never suffered a bruise or an injury and has never known a sick day. His grand fielding for the four seasons Is .911. His banner year was in 1908, when he fielded at .937. In hitting Sager was not so fortunate, his average being .222.

HORSE DROPS DURING RACE Salem, Ohio, July 23. There was some excitement at the race track here yesterday when Jimmy Faralon, a harness horse, dropped dead during a race. The animal had a record of 2:114.

been negotiating with the British secretary of state for war for a pension pension scheme. It is reported that the
men are hopeful of success. The International convention of the Brotherhood of Electrical Workers will be held during the week beginning Sept. 20 at Chicago, that city having already a majority of the votes cast in the referendum. Thomas Ilayward, one of the six men who organized the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and who served
as the first president of that organiza
tion, died at Marshall, Mich., recently at the age of 87 years.
The jurisdiction dispute between the
Electrical Workers' union and the the
atrical stage employes, as to the right
to do certain work, will be presented
at the next meeting of the International organization of the latter in Min
neapolis next September. Under a rule adopted by the Oklahoma state board f public affairs only union labor will be employed on all public buildings in the future. No contractor who is not willing to stipulate that he will employ union labor need submit a bid for state work. A convention of all Massachusetts state organizations affiliated with the state branch of the A. F. of L. will be
held in Boston in the week of Aug. 9, to consider and take action on all labor matters which have come up during the present session of the legislature. A lodge of the Brotherhood of Railroad Clerks has been established in Concord, N. H., to be known as Merrimack lodge. It Is expected that lodges will soon be instituted in Manchester, Dover and Worcester, which will practically complete the organization on the Boston & Maine system. Commercial telegraphers of some cities are openly and freely discussing the matter of inaugurating another general strike next spring. They have been reorganizing for some months and expect to continue their efforts in the face of all opposition from the compa
nies. The men declare that, as a result jf the failure of their last strike, wages have been cut to a point in many instances below the living line, as low as $25 a month being paid to Morse operators.
I. A. A. C Will Not Send Team to Seattle. New York, July 23. It was officially announced today that the Irish-American A. C would not send a team to the national championship at Seattle. It has caused considerable discussion in athletic circles. The much-looked for triple meet between the IrishAmerican A. C, New York A. C. and Chicago A. A. at Chicago on August 7 is also off.
New York, July 23. It is thought Mr. Pfiester will be able to trim the giants today. Wiltse was so slow in that first inning play that Evers would have beaten his throw home. Kling has wired McGraw for prices on Merkle and Devore. It is said Kling will have their skulls made into pool balls. Wiltse fanned Tinker and Archer in the second and twice put Sheckard down on strikes. A wave of crime is sweeping over
the Polo grounds. During the game yesterday Emslie was touched on the
field for a diamond stud and a big wad of money. Bob was glad to escape with his life and wig.

REULBACH GETS
HIS NINTH
New York, July 23 "Big Ed" Reul-
bach hung up his ninth straight coon
skin yesterday afternoon, pitching the champion cubs to victory in the opening battle with the giants, 3 to 1. His
dazzling speed, with the shrewd intel
lect of Johnny Evers, proved too strong a combination for J. "Mugs" and gang, and a flying start kept the worldbeaters on top all the way. It was not so much hard welting but superior bralnwork that won for Chance's men. Save in one round, the opener, it was a pitchers' duel between Reulbach and Crandall. George Witlse, the prize southpaw, started the tussle for the Broadway crew and the pair managed to escape the fearful war clubs of the visitors with a measly allotment of five hits. But four clean blngles were gathered off Reulbach's unfathomable delivery-
FIVE STRAIGHT FOR THE SOX More power to the Sullivans. There's no stopping that bunch, judging from
recent performances. Not content with
an even break from the yanks and four straight in the senatorial series, the scrappy white shins yesterday lit upon C. MoGillicudy's pennant dream, smashed down Plank's defense and throttled the mackmen, 4 to 3. But it took a lot of scientific ball playing to
turn the trick. Like all curtain rai3crs to the soxathletic series, it was a hurling battle from start to finish. Delegate Plank, working from the port side, shouldered the burden for the Quaker city gag, opposing Frank Smith, the pianojuggler "spitter," who has butted into every other game at Comiskey's park during the last ten days.
STORM BREAKS UP GREEN BAY RACES Sailing Craft Are Scattered by Squall. Green Bay, Wis., July 23. More than half of the yachts that started in the races here todav in honor of the visit
ing Columbia Yacht club members were couch, in a squall on Green Bay and wasned upon the east shore. The storm was one of the worst on the bay this season.
The power boat race was abandoned and only two of the sailboats finished the race. The Zaza (Captain Gus Walters) was awarded first place in the sailing event, with Algonkin (Commodore A. C. Neville), second. The yachts Niagara, Norris, Alceyone, Phenes and Venus ran aground and did not complete the course. Hundreds of friends of the yachtsmen, who are prominent in Green Bay and Sturgeon Bay, are alarmed over the safety of their friends, many of them not having been heard from at all. The Green Bay Yacht club entertained the Chicago yachtsmen, their wives and members of their families to the number of 140 In the morning. An automobile trip to Depere was taken.
The visitors are being- entertained tonight by the Green Bay club with a stag banquet at the yacht club house.
This will close the entertainment fea
tures extended to the guests on their
visit here. With the exception of the storm today, nothing marred the suc
cess of th eoccasion. Some of the
boats will start on their return trip to
morrow, while others will remain here
for a few days.
Columbus, Ohjo, July 23. President C. W. Murphy of the Chicago cubs dropped off here this morning to get a line on some of the stars of the Columbia club, but rain balked the plans of the champion boss. He is especially eager to land Pitcher Link and Catcher James, it is said. Third Baseman Hetling of the Kansas City club is another young star likely to come under the notice of President Murphy in the near future.

New York, July 23. A telegram to

til he was convinced that the proposed
finish fight with Sam Langford at Ely,
Nev., was out of the question, he
could not entertain the Fairmont club's offer for the bout. Local sporting men
believe that Ketchel Is wasting time
because Langford has already accepted the Fairmont club's tentative propo
sition, being satisfied that his demand for $12,500 for the Ely fight will not be granted. If Ketchel does not accept the Fairmont's offer by Saturday, it is said that Papke will be offered a go
