EAST CHICAGO. Misses Agnes and Lily Nelson left yesterday morning for a two weeks' vacation in Cant Lake, Wis. Mesdames Fred Hascall, Hugh Hascall and 'William Moss went to Chicago, last evening, where they met Mrs. Foster Moore, and the party spent the evening at San Souci. The postoffu-e will hereafter he open until 9 o'clock every evening instead of until 7, as heretofore. The extension of time will benefit only owners of lock
boxes, as the general delivery window will close at 7 as usual. As a preventative against burglars who might seek entrance to the interior of the office by climbing over the top of the case, an iron grating has been erected, which reaches from the top of the case to the ceiling. The Misses Fannie and Edith Maynard of Indianapolis are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Beach of Earing avenue. Abe Ottenheimer has received letters from Mrs. Ottenheimer, written from Antwerp, Brussels, and Koeln-on-Rhine. This week Mrs. Ottenheimer is spending in Frankfort-on-the-Main, and next week she will pass in Switzerland. John Lesh Hascall was called to
Chicago yesterday to drill in company with 200 Culver Military school students in front of the Pel Prado hotel on the Midway plaisance. Young Hascall was formerly a student at the Culver Military school. The drill was followed by a banquet and later in the evening the company repaired en masse to the White City, where they had a glorious time. Mrs. John Haugh entertained Tuesday evening with a plate shower in honor of Miss Lelah Wickey. Dainty refreshments were served. Miss Wickey will be married Sept. 1 to H. E. Bloomberg. Have you attended our spring opening. We save you money on every purchase. Spiegel, South Chicago's leading furniture store. tt

Miller made a little excursion in the Briney automobile yesterday to Cedar Lake, Crown Point, Hammond and the Elks' picnic.
All of the party but Mr. Kroupa are employed in the Inland blast furnace.
George A. McGinnity, the popular Gary real estate man, was in the Harbor yesterday transacting business. A hot game of ball took place Tuesday between the Harbor Grays and the Erickson Colts, the score being 1 to 0 in favor of the Grays after fifteen innings of playing. A remarkable feature of the game was a triple play by Charley Spellacy and Fritz Calvin. The bases were full in the twefUh inning when Otto Bascomb of the Colts drove a hot liner over second. AU the base runners started to advance, thinking it would be a three bagger, but Spellacy, playing second, ran back and by a wonderful catcli nailed the bail, then touching second, made a double play unassisted and by firing the ball to Galvinson at third completed the triple, the base runner being unable to get hack before the ball.
Indianapolis, Aug. 19. Motorphobla yesterday fastened its tentacles on every registered native of the Hoosier capital, and a little bit more. The speed mania is raging in all its fury on the eve of the races that will officially dedicate the Indianapolis speedway, the greatest automobiling course of its kind in America. The ceremonies will come off at high noon today and it's a safe bet this town will go into such a spasm of dizzy excitement as can only be compared to the wild rollicking when Carr copped the A. A. bunting.

well. It was feared that the team wasn't a winner. Nel Hanlon says all you have to do to obtain a major league winning team is to go out in the bushes and gather a bunch of hustling young players. But Baltimore isn't a major league town, so what's the use.
The treatment accorded the Detroit Tigers by the Philadelphia, New York and Boston teams was outrageous. The idea of each one of those teams taking three out of four games from the champions. They ought to be black
listed for life.
From all accounts Johnny Kling. Chi
cago's stubborn child, will be busier than a chicken-picker next season. Besides managing the Cincinnati. Philadelphia, Boston. Brooklyn and Kansas City clubs he will play with the pro

Though a bit rough yesterday the
drivers managed to reel off the miles
at some tremendous clips in the final practice. To Barney Oldlield and his powerful Benz flyer goes the glory of
the afternoon. On his closing spin the intrepid Barney clocked the full route in 1:5814. putting a decided crimp in the previous mark of 2:02. established last Sunday by Len Zengle in the Chadwick. The Benz hit a ninety-mile an
hour pace for one lap. Records will arise from this meeting that will stand for many months, according to the expert railbirds.

Arthur Grenier of Chicago in a Thomas, Van Camp of Indianapolis in a Stearns and Eddie Hearne, also of Chicago, in a Fiat.

Tackey McFarlam! yesterday answered Cyclone Johnny Thompson's clalnis that he was sidestepping a match. "Let Thompson get some club to offer me as much as it gave me for my last fight before the same institution as my end of the purse and watch me sign up. AU I want to do is to eliminate the Cyclone from the lightweight entanglement or have him put me out of the running for the championship. I see that Nelson 5s going to fight just once more. I want that one fight, and in order to secure it
ADVERTISE I'll do 133 pounds for hira three hours before the fight."
Sporting Briefs
It has been a great season in the minor leagues for mobbing umpires. Those southpaw pitchers of the Athletics are enough to discourage the best of opposing teams. Nap Rucker of Brooklyn has a record of 134 strikeouts in twenty-four games. Some twisting that. Jack Knight has been doir.g classy work at tirst base for the Highlanders since Hal Chase was injured.
Messrs. Mathewson, Krause, Willis and other st:tr twirlers will please step aside and salute as Mr. Kdwar Reulba h of Chicago passes. It is said that Charlie Comiskey is trying t sign Hugh Puffy, owner and manager of the Providence team, to pilot the White Sox.

Challenge Round in Doubles Postponed. Newport. R. T.. Aug. 10. Only the singles were begun yesterday in the twenty-ninth national lawn tennis championship tournament. The chal
lenge match in the doubles with the Pacific coast pair. George J. Janes and
Maurice F. McLaughlin, meeting the defending champions, Frederick B. Alexander and Harold H. Hackett. was postponed until today wing to the soggy condition of the courts. It was announced that Arthur W. Gore, champion; L. II. Kscombe and W. C. Crawley would sail from Kngiand August 2." to represent the British isles in the preliminary title matches for the Davis' international cup. They will meet the American team for which William A. Larned ar.d William J. Clothier have already beer, nominated to play in the singles. The doubles pair will not be selected until after the championship match. But Pr. Pwight announce, that in ail probability the pair would be Harold H. Hackett and Raymond P. Little. The winners in the first round of the all-comers singles were Richard Stevens, G. P. Snow, XV. I,. Stewart, C. L Johnson Jr., R. H. Palmer, H. C. Pell Jr., W. B. Craigln Jr., George J. Janes, R. T. Gaunt, Otto II. Bir.ck and Dr. E. Erving Taylor.
Pretty tough for Ewing. but the cubs simply had to win. After holding the champs to three hits this veteran twirler of the reds let the only run of the game come across on a wild pitch in the last of the ninth. There's nothing like good old baseball for showing the sterner side of life. The brightkss and sunshine is generally reserved for the title holders, better known as Chance's pets. As ii.'Mcated the count at the west side veste, 'ay was 1 to 0.
Ewing was really in grand fettle. It lias been some time since he has looked any better. He gave in addition a remarkable rendering of "Coming Events Cast Their Shadows B-fore.' In the first inning, with none out and tirst and second occupied he exhm'd a wild
pitch. It cud no narm uuf , nui ins later and more successful acting in the ninth put an end to a threatened extra inning fray. "Fourteen Straight" Reulhach appeared on the stag.' after a brief recess following his disaster with the giants. He started out on a new exploring lour for records, yesterday's victory making
one to his credit. There's nothing like a good start. For awhile there were sounds lik. an eruption and Reulhach had to do some of Lis c!assi"st work to preer.t an inundation. He succeeded O. K., but gave the S.f'00 or 9.000 fans a severe case of heartburn. Led .v "Pretzel" Hoblitzell. the red legs made a systematic and beautifully planned attack on "Big Ed." Their
system was to lambaste the hall and then beat it. Old "T'retz" maneuvered his way into two doubles and might have converted them into runs had his mat es played the accompaniment. Fortunately for the cubs and their pennant hopes, they didn't.
Taoli, Ind., Aug. 19. The gambling paraphernalia taken from the casino of
Tom Taggart at French Lick and from le Sinclair at West Baden three years
ago in a raid conducted by the state was publicly burned here yesterday. The spectacle was watched by nearly 2.000 people, including many women and children. The apparatus was valued at nearly $30,000 and was the outfit of two of the best equipped gambling
rooms in the northwest. Governor Hanly ordered a raid on the two casinos nearly three years ago. Before the paraphernalia could be moved several roulette wheels were stolen and traced to the hills around French Lick, but there all trace of them was lost. Yesterday the two men employed by the French Lick and West Baden hostelrles in the gambling rooms were fined, pleas of guilty giving the state the right to destroy the confiscated apparatus.
