The services at the Methodist church last night were well attended. The sermon was particularly helpful and the music fine. Everybody went home with a feeling in his heart that it was good to be there. Miss Ollphant is one of the most gifted evangelists East Chicago people have ever had the pleasure of hearing and those who do not attend the meeting are missing something fine. Her subject for tonight will be "The Father of the Prodigal," and she and Miss Flossie Pickard will sing. Tonight's meeting is sure to be one of the best yet held, and every one should make a special effort to attend.

BUGS RAYMOND DESERTS GIANTS New York, April 27. Rebelling against the "water wagon" watch that has been kept over him. Bugs Raymond, the Giants' pitcher, today packed up his duds and deserted the team. 'I am no paresis .patient," was Raymond's fare well message. It is reported that he will join an outlaw club in Chicago.
KLIHG WILL REPORT TO-
FOR FIRST WORK WITH CURS
Catcher Visits Murphy and Announces There Is Nothing to Balk His Return to Team.
Taking advantage of the weather which was suited to Indoor sports, Mr. Kling made three appearances yesterday, two on the stage and one on the carpet. With the sustaining presence of his sparring partner, Mr. A. Anson, in the outer chamber, John had a long conference in the morning with President Murphy and Chance at the -downtown office of the club. At the finish of the bout on the mat the great' catcher came out and said everything was all right, but that he couldn't divulge the details of the conference. What John did say was he would pay the $700 fine at once and formally report to the Cubs in the morning. The pool skit will not be interfered with. John and his sparring partner will wallop the ivory balls the rest of the week and toss in as much oratory as an Indulgent public will stand' for. Manager Chance had no more to say than the conservative Kling. It would be Impolitic for either side to unload large quantities of words until the fine is actually paid and the receipt photographed and framed. Many weeks have passed since the check was first drawn and the threat made to send it to the national commission in all its branches. There was a, note of sincerity in Mr. Kling's stage voice when he said he would pay the fine yesterday afternoon. Also a faraway look in his dark and dreamy eye, for $700 would pilrchase at least 140,000 lumps of that-pale blue chalk said to be good for rubbing on billiard cues. Meanwhile interest in Mr. Evers great literary production, "Touching Secpnd," has been overshadowed by the
latest masterpiese, "Kling Touching Murphy." As for the national pastime itself, that business is on the blink for the time being. Cubs and Pirates res-ted some more yesterday and tha
idle spell may carry over another day. While Kling was waiting in the out-
er chamber for his bout on the mat, he
related some of his stage experiences, but most of the talk had to do with his sparring partner. John said Mr. Anson
carried a make-up box just like a regular actor. Cap likes the stage business
as much as Kling dislikes it, and that
is a whole lot. Cap puts dark stuff on his eebrows and red stuff on his lips
to ejihance the beauty of his dazzling smile. What John would like to do is to pull a bag over his own head so he could not see the people out in front.
Mr. Kling admits he made some speech
es, but he will take an oath that he didn't know what he said. There are
others.
Secretary Locke of the Pirates' , has
fixed his transportation for tomorrow
noon or night. If the last game of the set is called off the champions will make a quick-getaway. The Cardinals
came to town last uight, so as to be on hand when the weather settles. Catch
er Jim Archer had his fat thumb lanced yesterday to relieve the swelling due to a foul tip in one of the Cincinnati
garner.
Johnny Kling will get a certified
check tonight at the American Music
Hall with which to pay his fine to the national commission. The check will
be made out to the commission and will be given to him during his act. Dr. B. F. Roller is scheduled to referee the pool match this evening.

PATHFINDER AT DALLAS, TEXAS Dallas, Texas, April 27. The first leg of the Cincinnati-Dallas-Chicago run was completed yesterday afternoon by the Qlidden pathfinder, which reached here from Paris, Texas, after a seven hour trip over. " excellent prairie roads. The Chalmers-Detroit "30" has been two weeks on the road, having been delayed ' several days by floods. The smooth clay highways encountered northeast of Dallas offered the first op. portunlty for fast running since Grand Prairie in Arkansas was passed. Today the car goes to Fort Worth and thence north to Chicago. The total distance by the Gilden route from Cincinnati to Dallas Is 1,253 miles.

Sait' Francisco, Cal., April 27. "Jim; Jeffries fs showing evidences of low- J ered vitality and overtraining in the) shape of boils, and his advisers are i begging him to lay off."
"Jack Johnson is so high in flesh that there is clanger of his being undertrained on July 4." If a man who hasn't kept himself posted on the championship situation
were to ask a friend who is in touch J with affairs pugilistic for the "news in a nutshell," the above is what he' would be told. And this alarmist condition has all developed in about twenty-four hours., To gay a man is overtrained or undertrained ten weeks before a fight is enough to cause any old conditioner of - pugilists to chuckle with amusement, j If a fighter has fundamental' physical ' soundness to start out with, he should be able to break camp for a few weeks under such conditions, and then take he has some one at the helm who un- i up the grind again-. Provided, always, derstands the basic principles of placing a man In condition to fight. Yesterday I took occasion to say! that the idea which fixed the responsibility of discouraging reports from Jeffries' training Quarters on the part of the correspondents was wrong. This still goes. The bolls which trouble Jeffries at present are not figments of any newsgatherer's imagination. Information as to the alfalfa baron's ail
ments and setbacks is handed down to the correspondents and they send It along to their papers. In a large measure they have to rely upon Jeffries' aids for news of the way the work affects Jeffries, for Jim Is not in a talkative mood this campaign. And what a hodge-podge of stuff comes out in consequence. Jeffries is morose; fte is kittenish; he devours exercise as a "tiungry pup laps milk; he is suffering from stiff shoulders-, he is limber again and fit to fight right now. Last of all, there is an agry eruption somewhere around the small of his back and Choynskl Is begging him to put a padlock on the gymnasium and give a few days to dozing on the veranda. Well, after all, it serves to -show that the men around Jeffries are watching for symptoms, even if their opinions-of their charge change frequently. It is a relief to those who read to know that ten full weeks lie between now and the 4th of July, and that there Is ample time for Jeffries
to reach the very best of condition that is, if he can stand training at all.. Jack Gleason, who has just returned from Eastern points, says that there is no occasion to worry over Johnson's condition. "Johnson has a little fat on him, but no more than a man should have going into camp," said Gleason. "Furthermore, I am satisfied - from Johnson's appearance that he has not abused himself to the extent with .which he Is charged."
KETCHEL TO FIGHT
LANGFQRD TONIGHT
Stanley Ketchel will take on the toughest man- of his pounds In the
world tonight when he meets Sam
Langford in a scheduled six round bat
tie before the National Athletic club of
Philadelphia. This bout, if it were scheduled to go forty-five rounds, would for the time being completely overshad
ow the Jeffries-Johnson affair, as there
has been demand throughout the country for a meeting between the "Wolv
erine Walloper" and the "Boston De
mon' "ever since their match In New
York was prevented by the authorities
Ketchel will not risk his title In the
fight as the bout will be at catch-
weights and not at the middleweight
limit. Ketchel probably will go into
the ring weighing about 160 and he
cannot do himself Justice If he weighs
much above this figure. Langford will
be about ten pounds heavier.
Indications are that the contest will draw the largest house that ever attended a.' ring battle In Philadelphia. The advance sale, has been reported to be $15,000. wh-ich means that there should be a $25,000 gate when the men step into the ring.
BRYAN IN THE BOX; GOVERNOR BEHIND THE BAT Lincoln, Neb., April 27. The Lincoln Western league baseball club has obtained the services of a distinguished battery when the local season opens May 10.
