INDIANA HARBOR. Mrs. O. B. Lloyd, who was taken violently 111 a fe wdays ago, was yesterday taken to the Wesley hospital, where she is to prepare for an operation. It was thought she was suffering from appendicitis. The operation was set for some time today, and in the meantime Mr. Lloyd's mother and father were sent for, arriving In Indiana Harbor on Monday night to look after the home during Mrs. Lloyd's absence, and care for the baby. Mrs. Lloyd is reported to have stood the trip to the hospital, which was made via the C. & I. S. remarkably well, considering her con dition. Mrs. B. C.

OND WILL MEET STRONG SOUTH BEND TEA! SUNDAY

Rhode and his nine brave warriors will leave for South Bend next Sunday morning, where they will battle with the Sparrows at Central league park. Though the Hammond team gave the Crown Point fans a poor exhibition of ball playing last Sunday, they were simply affected with an off day and expect to give the Sparrows thj best game of the season and if possible will trim them. The Hammonds have lost a majority of their games this season, but a team is not expected to win the greater part of the games when traveling. At any rate they are playing some fast teams and making good with the fans of the different cities. Next Sunday the locals will be up against the best team that they have met this season. The Sparrows are considered a bunch of sluggers and are favorites in South Bend. The Hammonds are equally as good as the Sparrows, or at any rate they CHAMPIONS SLIP A G06 I Cubs Get Sand in Machine and Present Phillies With 4 to 2 GameDUTTICC IM MUM Unl ILLu 111 Mill "Miner" Pitches Great Ball, But the Support Is Shaky From the Start. Philadelphia, Aug. 25. It was an off day with the cubs yesterday, and their all around sloppy work in the field materially helped the Phillies to a 4 to 2 victory. From the very start the cubs blundered, and while their errors were few in number, they were generally made when they did the most damage. Besides there were several slip-ups that do not appear in the score and a general slowness that is at variance with their usual fast and snappy playing. The weird work came at odd intervals. At all other times the cubs were the same old unbeatable team, but the quakers at these times put up such a strong defense that Chicago was unable to break it down, although several times they had the quakers groggy. The cubs lacked good Judgment at the bat and in the field and at times ) handled the ball as though they were afraid of it, and their slow, leisurely work allowed the Phillies to get on the bases oftener than they should and helped them around when t li Jf- did get on. Something was amiss right at the beginning of the game, and it appeared as though the cubs were '-"different as to the result of the contest. Evers opened the game with a single and went to second when Sheckard laid down a beautiful bunt, which he easlly beat out. With two on and no one out there was no reason why the cubs should not have had at least one run, but Schulte poked a bunt right at Sparks that caused Evers' retirement at third, and then Sheckard foolishly spoiled what remaining chance his team had by trying to steal third. That promising inning went to smash when Chance lifted an easy fly to Ward. DUSK ID RAIN PUT STOP TOBOX BUTTLE Score at End of Ninth In--xg Pilgrim Game Is a Tie, 4 to 4. P.lack Kgyptlan darkness halted the sox-pilgrim battle at the end of the ninth inning with the score 4 all. Drizzling rain, oozy grounds and a dark brown mist made the ball look like a pea in midair toward the last. It hecame a matter of luck If the batter hit it and even more luck if the fielder got the sphere as it hurtled through space. J So there was a general tone of relief when Umpire Egan dismissed school. With the Intermittent showers in the morning and the sky making a noise liko more dampness during the early hours of the p. m. it was a question whether the fray would be enacted. It fooled even some of the white-draped athletes. Dougherty and Parent Just getting on the field in time to play the game. F.ncrgetic efforts, combined with some perfectly good log dust, blotted the rivulets around third base and the pitcher's box. Secretary Fredericks decided that the tilt could be started and the umpires coincided. With the count 4 to 3 in favor of the sox in the ninth inning, two out and Stahl on third. Pat Donahue came in and made a double-heade rnecessary today. He waited until two strikes were decorating him, and then punched a single to left, scoring Jake with the tying run. Pat has been doing this trick frequently of late, and it's about time that he was served with a summons. The scant population draped on the moist seats felt like reaching out and depositing Patrick in a padded coop.

are considered as good by tha Hammond fans. Crown Point is the only team In the Calumet region that has defeated the Hammonds and that was due to the fact that the Hammond team played ragged ball. The Hammonds will leave on the Chicago, Lake Shore and South Bend line Sunday morning. The fare will be 1;45 for the round trip. It is probable that the Hammonds will play all their games at home net year and will erect as nice a bail park as Hammond has had since the Hubbard park was abandoned. Though the location of the park is not yet known it is likely that it will be located on the north side. This team will represent Hammond and with the playern that are expected to be in the lineup for next season it is safe to say that the Hammond team will easily trim up all teams who will book games with them for the following season.

Hamburg Belle yesterday afternoon at the North Randall track achieved a performance which, in the most searching light that can be thrown upon it, was the most wonderful in all trotting history. She vanquished Uhlan, the I'oston wonder, in their match race, getting the first heat in 2:01 1 i r and winning out by a head, lowering the world's race record. the 2:03 VI of Cresceus, made in 1901, by two full seconds; and came back the second in 2:014, distancing her rival and proving herself not only a speed marvel, but a marvel of gameness as well. She also fell short by but a onnrter second, of the world's time rerord for trotters, without pacemaker in front, the 2:01 of Lou Dillon, and the circum stances of actual contest make her miles, by common consent, the most phenomenal ever seen. Her adversary. Uhlan, though not only beaten but actually outdistanced, emerged from his downfall paradoxical as it may seem, with honors second only to the mares' moreover, the incidents of the race, instead of establishing his inferiority, were such that the respective merits of the two are still In doubt and are being hotly debated today. After the race a deal was practically closed by which H. M. Banna of Cleveland bought Hamburg Belle for $50,000. HORSEMEN WANT ti Agree to Pay Starting Fee When Hint of Extension Is Given. Joliet. 111.. Aug. 26. There is only one topic being discussed among horsemen and the race fans here, and that is whether the running meeting will be continued at Joliet after the fair is over. While the sample day's races has b-en exceedingly Jilgh class the restriction put on the betting fraternity has simply whetted the appetite for the real thing. While the fair lasts, or at leapt until Friday night, the management is firm in their position to stop betting as far as possible, but some inkling of what might take place was let out In Secretary Flaw's speech to the horsemen yesterday afternoon over the squabble about the payment of the 5 per cent entrance feP charged by the fair association for starters. The horsemen objected to paying any entrance fee, some of them going to the extent of absolutely refusing to start if the 5 per cent of the purse wa.s collected, and the squabble over this end of it was the ren 1 reason for the races being declared off yesterday afternoon. In his talk to the horsemen Flaws said: "You gentlemen are here for the avowed purpose of renewing running races in Illinois. This week we are a fair association with no income from privileges and the 5 per cent must be paid or you can stay in the barn. If you have the interests of the game at heart you will pay. If you don't you simply will proclaim to the racing world that the horsemen themselves are to blame for the present lack of racing." IF YOF TIIIXK THAT THE TIMES IS TRYINCJ TO (ilVE YOU THE NEWS.

magnate intends to bill the. September battle as a world's heavyweight championship affair. It is well understood, however, that the only way the title could change hands would be for Barry to win by knocking Johnson out. This point was definitely settled a few weeks ago when Wolgast whipped Battlins Nelson to a standstill, yet never so much asehirped about claiming the Iane's title on the strength of the "newspaper decision." The articles names Charles F. Eyton as referee and state that Johnson is to receive $.t.ooo, or 55 per cent of the gross receip:!. whichever is the largest, for his services.
