BUDS STOP DANCE

WATCH

PRIZE FIGHT

Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 8. The six round

fight between Abe Attell and "Eddie Kelly here Monday night was seen by thirty-five of the leading "society buds"

in Pittsburg, though the fact waa not made public until this afternoon, when some of the escorts of the young la

dies "blabbed."

There now is a great scurrying on

the part of the mothers to convince the neighbors that their daughters were not at that exclusive hop held in the

dancing pavilion at Luna park, next to

the building where the prize fight waa pulled off. All the young women and their escorts also are saying they were

not there.

The ring had been built In a build

ing formerly used as a cafe when Luna

park was in its glory. Next to this building and overlooking it Is the dancing pavilion, which now is rented to private parties. Last Monday night one of the most exclusive parties-

limited to thirty-five couples had the dancing pavilion and took an excellent orchestra from this city. There is no connection between the fighting floor

and the dancing floor and it was only

by standing on seats that the dancers

could look over Into the prize ring.

The story told by some of the young

men and by ail members of the orches

tra is that there was no dancing during the time of the fighting, though the orchestra played like mad under instructions from the girls, who said

none must be permitted to "suspect

anything.' The lights in the big dancing pavi

lion on the side next to the prize ring were extinguished and the thirty-five young women watched the whole series of four fights. Nor did any one faint

when one fighter was knocked out and

another had his shoulder broken.

The fight between Attell and Kelly,

which was the windup, appeared to please the young women, whose screams

of approval or disapproval were partly smothered by the bands playing at their backs. It is recalled now that

Kelly and Attell, after the fight, in

slsted that there had been some young

women in the audience, perhaps dis

guised as young men, for, they said,

they distinctly heard themselves being

coached by feminine voices.

gave the teller the high sign, which

Tn s didn't settle It, however, as the cubs continued to chew about the de

when Manager Chance felt the weight of Klein's displeasure and was sent to the clubhoupe, from where he directed

the remainder of the game.

Pittsburg, Sept. 8. Riddled by the

umpire fore and aft, the world champion cubs, battling as they never did before and fighting to the last ditch, went down to an honorable 6 to2 defeat yesterday before the pirates on Forbes field. Mr. Klem, he of the indicator, made good his threat of yesterday and little Johnnie Evers did not figure in the lineup. A wire from President Heydler notified the scrappy shoe emrchant that he had a three-day vacation romiivg to him for his run-in with the said Mr. Klem the day before. The indicator handler apparently interpreted it as a blanket order, and before the game had fairly started he had likewise banished Chance and

Tinker to the clubhouse. It was certainly gay doings all along the line, and the champions are as mad as hornets, but still in fighting trim for the flag. The pirates probably would have won had the game been conducted according to Hoyle, as they raked Reulbach, Brown and Higglnbotham to the four winds with bunches of lusty swats, but at that it might have been another tale had the umpire not been "it" so much of the time. It was Abstein's long swat off Reulbach that caused Joe Tinker's trouble. "Abby," after the cubs had made two

scores in their half of the second and Miller had reached first, hit the ball Into the left field bleachers. The ball hit the concrete floor and bounded back onto the field In time for Sheckard to stop Absteln at second, but Klem ruled that, inasmuch as the ball had hit in the bleachers, it was to all purpose and Intent still there, and that Abstain

AUTOS MAKE FAST TIME IN STRAIGHTAWAY Lowell, Mass., Sept. 8. Although arranged only as a "filler" between yesterday's national small car competitions and tomorrow's- 318-mile stock chassis event, the series of mile straightaway speed trials held today over the Merrimack Valley circuit proved to be one of continuous thrills. Although no records were broken, one was established by Barney Oldfleld. His time of 0:51 1-5 for a mile with a standing start, made in a Benz (German) machine of 120 horse power, will be the first official record for such an event in American automobile racing annals. From a flying start Oldfleld hurtled one mile In 0:39 9-10, one and one-half seconds slower than the present road record, held, by Kllpatrick, made in a Hotchkiss car at Jamaica, L. I., June 12, 1908. Aside from Oldfield's feat the consistent driving of Louis Chevrolet, winner of yesterday's 159-mile small car race, was noteworthy. In the nine events of the day he was started in

five, winning two firsts, two seconds

and one third in his Buick machine,

Herbert Lytle, dean of all American au

tomobile racers and a prominent en

trant in tomorrow's big car event, won one first and one second out of two starts in an Apperson Jack Rabbit. The program lost much of its Interest with the absence of Walter Christie and Lewis Strang in their specially constructed machines.

CHANGES IN TENNIS All Sets to Be Three in Five; Mixed Doubles Cut Out. Cincinnati, Sept. 8. Two radical changes have already been decided on for the trl-state tennis tournament of next year. There will be no mixed doubles. Also three sets out of five will be played In all the men'a matches of the rounds before the semi-finals, as well as in the semi-finals, finals and challenge rounds. It Is argued that three sets In five will give players who are slow In showing form a chance to display true ability. Many a player can win two out of three sets, but cannot go the full five sets, and many a match would rasult differently In five sets.

THRILLS PREVAIL

THROUGHOUT GIE

(Special to Thb Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Sept. 8. The

game or can sunaay between me em

pires of Chicago and the Indiana Har

bor team was full of thrills for the home fans right up to the last inning.

The visitors started off In the first

inning to cinch the game right then

and there. Ford waa a trifle wild and

passed a couple of men after striking out the first batter up. The bases were soon filled, when a couple of hits sand

wiched in between a few errors per mitted three of the opposition to reg

ister and at the close of the first half

the score was 3 to 0. Riley of the lo

cals was passed and stole second, when a timely hit by Ryirml brought him

home.

After that wild and woolly first Ford

settled and the Empires were under per

fect subjection for the balance of the game. The last half of the seventh

opened with Indiana Harbor two runs

to the bad and Galvin to bat. A hit

carried him to first and a theft to sec

ond. Ford reached the station his bat

tery mate had just left on an error and

a passed ball advanced them both a

base, when little Riley came to the front with a nice clean slnle, and the

score was tied.

The Harbors made the winnin run In

the eighth on a nice double by Thomas followed a few minutes later by its

exact duplicate with Sanders as the mo

tive power. The final score was: In

diana Harbor, 4; Empires, 3. The bat

terlea were: Indiana Harbor Ford and

Galvin: Empires Lord and Lueey.
