OH DEAR THIS IS SO FUNNY

S THIS HEW FIGHT DOPE

Honestly, H Is a Joke a hot weather Joke. Jim read this long pill that t:m;s from Terre Haute regarding fltchts, the governor, the. "finish fights at Hammond." etc. "Wouldn't it make your teeth chatter? Here It is: "Torre Haute, Ind., July 30. Many Terre Haute people have been puzzled over the fiyhling game in the city because Governor Marshall did not stop the Schrtck-Hart bout, after having prevented the bout at Hammond last Saturday. Two explanations are made

here, one by those who know the result of the inestigation by Burt New, legal representative of the governor, and the other by the 'sports. The first Is that New was convinced that it was to be a boxing exhibition for points, not a knockout, and not to exceed ten rounds and therefore within the specific stipulation of the law. The other is that the governor was right In "keeping those Chicago toughs out of the state, just as he was right in driving those skin gamblers from Lonisville out of JeiTersonville.' Vnlike ihe Hammond Case. The distinction between the Hammond and Terre Haute exhibitions Is said to have been that the Hammond affair was to bo a finish fight, and

therefore against the ten-round limit. The injunction Issued by Judge Fortune would not have interferred with stopping the bout here If the officials

were convinced that it or any of the

preliminaries were knockout affairs. At the instigation of Judge Fortune

the boxing club changed the plea so that the restraining order read that the

officers of the law must not 'unlaw

fully' Interfere. Though no fighter was

knocked senseless, two were practically

knocked out.

"The Terre Haute Star made a fight

against the men at the head of the club which gave the exhibition Monday

night and made the complaint to the governor. The newspaper has ignored the event itself, both prior to the fight

and since then. The refusal of the

governor to interfere has led to the

belief that Terre Haute Is to have bouts frequently. The promoters of the one Monday night made some money, and

with doubt as to the bouts taking place j removed, the events will probably come quickly after one another. The police department' will not take the initiative, and the prosecutor holds that boxing exhibitions such as have been given are within the iaw. Oruer Warn Too Brond. "It is a mistake to say that the coming of the governor's legal representative caused the Rodgers club to nsk for a modification of the original restraining order. A week or ten days ago Judge Fortune notified the attorney of the club that the order was too

broad and that the attorney delayed complying with the judge's intimation that he bring in a modified order. This was days before the governor decided to send his representative here; indeed, before the Star called his attention to the proposed fight. The Rodgers club is the third formed since the governor

came into office. The first was unmolested by the police. Then a second was formed and its promoter and Mayor Lyons were bitter enemies. The mayor announced that he would not permit further exhibitions by any club. The second club got an Injunction and had an exhibition. Following this, Harry Rodgers formed his club, and in due time asked for an injunction against interference with the fight Monday night.

St. I.uls, Mo., July 30. If not already

transferred to the Cincinnati club, John Kling is the promised bride of the Reds. Manager Chance and Griffith had a secret conference yesterday in which the Cub leadar is said to have assured Griffith he could have first call on the services of the holdout catcher. Apparently the Chicago club realizes Kling means business when he says he will not play ball for President Murphy an dthat the club has decided to dispose of John ivhile his eye and arm possess high value in the baseball market. The original pool parlor scheme at Cincinnati is said to figure In the negotiations. Chance and the Reds' manager first got together by wire Tuesday night. Griffith at Pittsburg held a long talk with Chance over the phone, and the

meeting was arranged. Griffith arrived yesterday morning incog and remained under cover at a hotel far re

moved from the Cubs. Chance left the ball park at the end of the first game of the double-header for the conference that resulted in the deal. The terms of the transfer were not made public. Griffith's proposition was either cash or trade, and he came on prepared to do business.

Washington. , July 30. The best the White Sox could do today in their opening double header with the tailend Senators was to break even.

Bill Burns was the pitcher In the first game for the westerners and Walter Johnson was opposed to him. "Piano" Smith worked in the second

game against Frank Oberlin.

Flashes Eight $1,000 Bills When Pinched.

Detroit, Mich., July 30. Jack Johnson came to Detroit yesterday afternoon and the first thing he did was to run foul of the law by exceeding the speed limit. He had not been in town hours when he was arrested by a motorcycle cop and taken to headquarters. Johnson almost gave the lieutenant heart failure by Hashing a $1,000 bill when he was ordered to deposit $25 as security for bis appearance in police court today. The big negro threw out eight of those bills, just as if they did not amount to shucks. He said he did not have anything smaller, but he finally managed to dig up $25 and was released for trial.

CUBS IN GREAT FORM

St. Louis. July 3.. The Cubs played a strong game and took the Cardinals into camp yesterday afternoon by a score of 6 to 3, in the presence of another large week-day crowd. "Miner" Brown was the (linger chosen by the Cubs' leadtr to face Bresnahan's fighting crew in the final battle of the series. For St. Iyiuis, Fred Bee-

be performed in a like manner. Getting off to a three-run lead in the opening round the champs never let up. Inning after inning the Chicago batsmen pounded away at the leather with a determiatlon of getting on. In but two of tile succeeding rounds were they successful In getting runners over the counting station, tallying a trio.

The Chicago Tribune this morning prints a story to the effect that the governor of Indiana will be called upon to assist the reformers of Gary in stamping out vice In this city. The story in part is as follows: "Governor Marshall of Indiana will be called upon to take a hand In the war against vice in Gary, unless there Is a change in the attitude of the re

formers who raided the 'patch, with the assistance of police from Hammond this week. "A petition was circulated yesterdayasking the governor to investigate the conduct of the board of trustees of Gary with a view to their removal from office. W. H. Hodges, prosecuting attorney of Gary, is the leader In the reform movement. "Another petition seeks the disbarment of Attorneys Harris and Bretsch. It is charged they have obtained a monopoly in the defense of cases in the police court through a 'pull' with the president of the town board and the police. "Other attorneys assert they are not allowed to see prisoners and that the only attorneys permitted to talk to prisoners are members of this one 'protected' firm. "The members of the board of trustees who are attacked in the petition are Thomas F. Knotts, president; Mil

lard K. Caldwell, and John E. Sears. They were elected when Gary was only

a spot on the map with about eighty votes and have complete control." As far as can be ascertained no petition to this effect has been circulated In the city, as It is felt that the situation is being handled satisfactorily at tho present time without the assistance of Governor Marshall, and in spite ot the fact that President Thomas Knotts. Millard Caldwell and John E. Sears of the town board are ignoring the shameful conditions south of the Wabash tracks. As far as Attorneys Harris and Bretsch are concerned, the sentiment in the city is that they have been allowed to monopolize the police court work In Gary through favoritism

shown them by President Knotts. The Times has absolute evidence that tho police have called upon them to sign bonds and defend prisoners, Immediately upon their arrest. Tho lawyers to a man are resenting this deal between Harris and Bretsch and the city administration, which prevents open and honest efforts on their part to secure the clientage of prisoners. No petition, however, has yet been circulated asking for their disbarment.
