they handed us in the three games played. Injuries and desertion have reduced the Cub outfit to twenty able bodied players, and one of those will be Ineligible to play for the next two or three days. Jlmmle Archer was notified that he had drawn a three days' suspension from President Lynch for daring to protest so vigoroulsy against the trick by which Manager Dooin of the Phillies scored a run after being tagged out. using the well worn trick of knocking the ball out of Jimmie's hands. With Kling and Needham on deck for duty the loss of Archer's services for the first two games of the Boston series will not be felt seriously, but

the aftermath will be more lasting. In

other words it will behoove Mr. Manager Red Dooin to cling fast to the ball hereafter when he Is tagging Cubs at

the plate and also to look carefully to his underpinning, while he is engaged In the aforesaid tagging act.

The Lowell baseball team, which for two years ago won the baseball championship of Lake county and therefore Is an important factor, is eager to fall in line with the suggestion that a county championship ' series be arranged, and In a letter to Thb Times is ready to act. The communication follows: "Lowell, Ind., Aug. 10. "Editor Times, Hammond, Ind., Dear Sir: Your editorial last night, 'For the County Championship,' is a move in the right direction and certainly Is a timely suggestion. Let the teams you mention get together and arrange their dates as you suggest, which will

not only be a success financially but will settle for all time to come as to which team belongs the glory for 1910. "Hammond, being centrally located, would be the best place for the managers and friends interested to meet, and we would suggest that a meeting, say' next Monday night, be arranged and a place, to meet where these matters can be arranged. "To The Times should be given the

credit for the largest attendance at a

ball game (Crown Point-Hammond A

A.) in Lake county, and with continued

publicity the same can be repeated.

That the Lake county baseball championship will be definitely settled this year, following- out the lines suggested

by Thb Times in its editorial columns

several days ago, is sure. a. meeting was held last ni?ht In Hammond at which several of the baseball managers of the co'unty were present. Ow

ing to the fact that proper notification

had not been given to some of the

team managers, they were not all pres

ent. !

Important Meeting; Monday. However, next Monday night a sec

ond meeting of the .county baseball managers will be held at the Ham

mond Athletic association clubrooms

at 7 o'clock sharp, and every manager

is urged to be present. The towns which will be represented In this

league are Hammond, Gary, Indiana Harbor, Crown Point, Whiting and

either Hobart or Lowell.

Another important feature of the meeting was the proposition to organize a six-team league in Lake county next year, again following out suggestions made in these columns. Nothing definite regarding the league was decided upon last night owing to the fact that three Lake county towns were not represented. But those who did attend were all in favor of this league and it is almost certain that such a league will be put through. It was suggested that the Chicago teams be frozen out altogether, as every manager is aware of the fact

that It is a losing proposition. It wagl

further decided to finish the season among the Lake county teams and therefore decide the championship of Lake county. Old Rivalry Will Return. With a league in Lake county a great deal of interest is sure to be aroused among the fans, and the old rivalry which exists between the fans and players In Lake county will come back, and when the teams are battling for first place in a league business men will begin to take an interest in the national sport and before the season progresses very far every man, woman and child will be interested in his home team and the crowds which attend these games will be at least twice as large, and possibly three times as

large, as the crowds that are now gathering at ball parks to witness the home teams clash with Chicago nines. D. D. Claudy,( secretary and treasurer of the Gary Association team, made an excellent suggestion regarding the cancelling of all games scheduled with teams after next Sunday, and It was decided to reschedule all games among the Lake county teams for the balance of the season at the meeting next Monday night. Every man was1 in favor of the move and it was decided to play next Sunday's games just as scheduled, but after that time any game already scheduled with either a Lake

Baltimore, Md., Aug. 11. Joe Gans

has fought his last fight and It was a

losing one.

The "Old Master," the greatest boxer of his poundage the world has ever seen, died yesterday morning of tuberculosis, after a battle of nearly a year against the disease. It was soon after his last battle, the ten round ho de

cision affair with Jabez White, the vet

eran Englishman, that Gans discovered

he was suffering from the white plague and last spring he went to Arizona to fight the ravages of the disease. He had waited too long, however, and last week he started a race against death

from Prescott to this city In order that

he might see his mother before he died. He won the race and the old

negro mammy was his constant nurse

during the few days he lived. The old

time boxer died happy. He was at his mother's side at the end and he had

become religious and left the world with an easy mind. Though it is not generally known Gans' right name was Gamp, he being given the name Gans by a mistake of a referee in announcing him n one of his early battles. He was born in 1S74 and gained his early reputation

as a fighter around the fish markets

here. His first professional battles were waged In 1891 and it is said that his first contest was for a purse of $4. He fought from 1891 for a decade.

meeting with almost constant success, losing fights to McGovern and "Elbows" McFadden by the knockout route. ... ; , . ..! . -i ; , r In 1902 Gans won the - -undisputed

lightweight championship of the world by knocking out Frank Erne in one round at Fort Erie, the shortest championship fight on record. He was beaten by Sam Langford the next year, but as Langford did not make the lightweight limit, Gans kept his championship. In 1905 he defeated Mike

JTiwiTr'Suilivan and won the welter

weight championship of the world. In 1903 he fought Nelson in the famous Goldfleld fight which he won on a foul in forty-two rounds. He was compelled to make weight three times

in one day for the fight and this strain is believed to have undermined his constitution and started him towards his downfall. Kid Herman, George Memslc, Rudy Unholz and Jimmy Britt wre the next victims of the old master, then came his two fights with Nelson in 1908, both of which Gans lost along with the championship. He was not at his best in these fights, losing weight rapidly when training that he could not get fit. Gans fought but one fight after losing to Nelson the second time, going ten rounds with Jabez White in New York. Gans will go down in history as one of the three -greatest colored fighters. His only rivals have been the late George Dixon and Johnson. A marvel of cleverness, Gans also carried great hitting strength. The Baltimore negro waged several

fake fights, notably his first contest with Britt, which he won on a foul,

and the contest he lost to McGovern in Chicago. He confessed to hippodrom-

ing these contests, but placed the

The fans fell for it gloriously. Cole worked hard to get into good condition and really ,was at his best. He worked earnestly all the way and showed vast Improvement over the form he displayed in his Indianapolis fights, two or three years ago. The champion has probably been doing all kinds of boxing at his home in Cadillac, for he is a much better boxer than he was a few months ago. Jabs, swings, uppercuts, crosses and all the rest of the punches are at his command, and he hits much quicker than formerly. He has also Improved his defense somewhat, but not as much" as his attack. He hit Cole almost whenever he pleased in the first four rounds. In the last two both started to fight and there was some sure-and-certain biffing, with honors about even.
