PORT

JEFFRIES YESTERDAY New York, Aug. 6. James J. Jeffries, the undefeated vaudeville performer, teamed away from here yesterday morning on the biggest German ship afloat. Mrs. Jeffries went along, and room 272 was banked with floral dis plays made up of horseshoes and forget-me-nots and rosemary, and all the nosegays that appeal to fighters. There was a big "bunch" of sporting men that stuck to the saloon deck until the bell ordered everybody ashore. Jim selected the George Washington for his voyage, and as long as George keeps the submarine signals and the wireless working a certain Johnson person need not worry about not receiving attention. Jeff was so busy thinking about that visit to Germany that it was hard to get him to talk English. The big ship was crowded with men and women, some of whom were not there to see Jeff. It seems that a great many other persons were going abroad. The noise which is a peculiar by-prod uct of Hoboken hands led some inter ested parties to think that Jeffries was down somewhere in the hold of the ship. It was not so. The band, it developed, was out to bother some kind of an alderman who was leaving Hoboken to visit his relatives along the Rhine. That band was not there to tell Jeffries what he might expect when he landed on German soil. Jeffries looked in fine fettle as he leaned over the rail and chatted with Dan O'Rourke, Melville and Hector McKenzle of San Francisco. He wore a dark suit and a delicate blue silk four-in-hand. The only thin;? nautical about the big fellow was a straw sailor hat. He also wore a very becommj blac.-t cigar. Black seemed to have the best of Jeffrias In his toggery, but thero was no black mentioned in his brief answers. "Where do you get to first?" Jeffries was asked. "What's the name of that place Jack? Oh, yes, I think it s Bremensvllle." "How many automobiles are you tak ing with you?" "Quit your kidding. What would I do with one of those things? I am going to use these fellows as soon as I get on land again." At this point Mr. Jeffries called attention to his foundations, which had escaped notice, owing to the excitement and everybody pushing. OH, IF THEY BUT WOULD If only the doves would linger here for a few more weeks. They furnish the best kind of a stepping stone for the champs, contributing two more to the cub fund yesterday at the west side nrecinct. 2 to 1 and 4 to 0. While the men of Chance were knocking down a duet of victories those superbas grabbed another from the pirates. As a result the cubs are only two and a half games in the rear at present. Chicago had the dead wood on both the games. The score of the first might look close, but It wasn't. Old Mordecai Brown simply couldn't afford to lose. He had as his rival, one Rich ie, late of the Phillies. This old timer was Drimed for rough weather, but got off better than he expected, hold ing the cubs to only five hits. The doves used another ex-quakcr in the second game, "Buster" Browii. He was pretty fair, but not in the same class as the Brown of our fair ci:y. Pflester shot against him, and with more deadly effect. EVEN BREAK FOR SOX Philadelphia, Aug. 6. The white sox broke even with the Athletics yesterday afternoon in the closing argument of the series at Shibe park. Close to 18,000 fans turned out to watch the two teams battle to the finish. The Athletics won the first game by a score of 3 to 0, in which Frank Smith was worsted by "Cy" Morgan of the local staff. In the second game Jimmy Scott covered himself with all kinds of glory by shutting out the locals, 1 to 0. WANTS SUNDAY GAME The Griffith Juniors would like to se cure a game with any team ranging between the ages of 12 and 15 years for next Sunday, August 8, to be played on their own grounds at Griffith. For games address H. H. Kruse. Griffith Ind. ST. LOUIS PROTESTS PIRATE VICTORY Claim Pulliam Was No Competent to Decide. Pittsburg. Pa., August 6. Taking the grounds that the late President Harry C.

HOT PRIZE FIGHT TAKES PLACE IN BURNHAM (Continued from Page 1.) The last three rounds were hot stuff, Kane going after Lavin in whirlwind fashion, which looked as though he was trying for a knockout. He came near getting it, too, several times. He kept the diamond dye works going and kept Levin's head rocking. He floored him once and was an undoubted winner of the bout, although the referee declared it a draw, thereby bringing down the wrath of that whole bunch of sports on his head. It looked as if he referee would have to fight himseir at once time, but things finally eot quieted down, and the sports began to think of "when's the next car home?" This Kane bids fair to make a name for himself in the near future if he handles himself as creditably as he did last night. And his manager, who hv he way is a brother of Packey McFarland, says that he is going to stick with that boy for all he has, as he is sure the lad is going to make himself known before long. Kane will spar Ad Wolgast Sunday at Forest park, and great things may happen at that bout, and a bug will no doubt get his money's worth at that jabfest. But there is a whole herd of wild, untamed goats in Burnham today, as the good people of the town have awakened to the fact that there was something doing in the town which they were not in on. One goat was heard using the word law" an d"arrest," but It is thought that he had been drinking and was mixed in his dates. But Just the same when that bunch of serious faced, determined looking sports began to collect it looked like old times in Burnham before the pinching bug got out of its cage, GOTCH APPEARS IN HOGAN BENEFIT Mat Champion Will Take Part m Program. Frank Gotch wired from Humboldt, Iowa, yesterday that he would come on and wrestle anybo the promoter of the Hogan testimonial could get to face him on August 20, when the big event planned for the veteran referee will be held at ths American league ball pak. Colonel Henry Vissor. the big Boer, who is now down in Indi ana, has offered to come up and probab ly will be asked to exchange gripj wj;h Gotch. NELSON SUES HOTEL Asks $10,000 Damages From Philadelphia Hostelry. Philadelphia. Aug. 6. "Battling" Nelson, the lightweight boxer, through his attorney, E. Waring Wilson, today began suit in the United States district court to recover $10,000 dmneres from the Bellevue-Stratf ord hotel. The action is based on alleged illegal discrimination indicated by the action of the Bellevue-Stratford management in twice refusing to provide the prize fighter with accommodations at the hotel. In the bill of allegations, filed at noon today by Nelson's attorney, the fighter alleges that the action of the Bellevue-Stratford in refusing to have him as a guest has influenced other hotels in other cities to discriminate against him, and that the action of the management has injured and brought him "into public scandal, Injury and disgrace." NOTED RACE TRACK ABANDONED Laporte, Ind., Aug. 6.
