LOWELL IS HUN
FOR WHITING
(Special to Thb Times.)
" Lowell, Ind., Aug. 31. Since the husky Oakland Park team has traveled to the north end for the last two Sundays and put the "kibosh" on Gary and ' Indiana Harbor in such an easy man-,
ner. the fans are wanning up and at present no other topic of conversation is heard on the streets but baseball and
the probability of our boys winning :the championship. v And by the way, fans, it looks good, .doesn't It? We have one of the fastest inflelds in the county and an outfield "that Is taking everything that comes their way. "And with Irwin In the box there is no doubt about it. Everybody is on their tip toes for
next Sunday's game, and if the weather is favorable there will be a monster crowd accompany the team to Whiting to see the boys take the third game of the series with that team. We won the first game against them, 3 to 0, and lost the second, simply because some of our best players could
not be with us for that game, but with the lineup for next Sunday It ought to be the best game billed for that day.
as Whiting has a strong team and is going to fight the battle of their lives
for this game.
The following is the lineup: Alyea, 2b; Moll, 3b; Fowler, lb; Tates, c; Irwin, p; Khode. ss; Purdy, cf; McNay,
If; Lynch or Hildebrandt, rf.
Arrangements are being made with the Monon to run a special train from
Lowell to Hammond i which will leave about 10:30, and the traction line has promised sufficient accommodation from Hammond to Gary. So come on, fans, and help the boys to victory. We
need your help.
The Boston Americans have pur
chased Pitcher Tom O'Brien of the
Hartford Connecticut league club.
A post-season series between the Giants and the Highlanders In New York would no doubt draw immense
crowds as the two teams have never
met on the diamond.

Following th 'turbulent times on the west side, lot recently, yesterdays game
reminded one of the placid lake Into
which the tempestuous mountain
stream Is always hurrying in books
and other literature. For seven In
nings.it flowed along peacefully with
out a run to break the monotony, then the Cubs won out, 3 to 1, Just In time
to avoid having to play their half o
the ninth. Because Pittsburg lost
again, Chicago gained a lap in the
pennant marathon, and now has a grip
on first place from which It can be
dislodged only by an earthquake.
Almost every pitcher on Manage
Chance's staff was in line for the slab
job yesterday, but Mordecal Brown was
picked to win, if -possible, the final
game of the year here between the
Phillies and Cubs. Behind him was th
most patched up team5 the locals have
presented this year. In' addition
Schulte's absence on a sad errand
Sheckard was not sufficiently recov

ceived the day before to resume his
position. ' '

Boston, Mass., Aug. 31.- There were
several features of this defeat. One was that it was accomplished in a trifle
over an hour and a half. Another was
the performance of Ray Collins, long
left handed pitcher belonging to John I. Taylor.
Manager Duffy shook up the batting
order and" smrvet Molly- Meloan down to seventh position, so that Parent could be set In between a couple of left
handed hitters. Molly, not at all embarrassed by this proceeding, spoiled a not hit game for Mr. Collins, and one , that would have been a real no
hit game. He pulled a single to right
field in the thirdVinning, and went to
second on Block's sacrifice.
Shooting with unerring aim from the sixteen yard mark. Jay Graham, the amateur shooter of Long Lake, 111., yesterday broke 200 straight targets in the first day's events of the first annual grand Chicago handicap now In progress at the Chicago Gun club traps, 123d treet and Michigan avenue.
Although this is not a world s nor a
state record, it is the best perform
ance ever registered at the local club's
traps or at the old club at Watson's
park, which was known as the Burn-
side club in the old days. W. D. Stan-
nard of Chicago held the previous
marks at both clubs by making a
straight score of 163 on the ntew range
and 348 at the old traps.
Weather conditions were perfect and
conducive to good shooting. Graham was in perfect form, as is generally the case, no matter wliat kind of opposi
tion he meets or how heavily handicapped. He is one of the few shoot
ers who breaks the 'Clay pigeons with
such consistency as to make him a
shooter feared by all. '
MOTOR BOAT RECORDS.
Peoria, 111., Aug. 31. A new world's record in the history of motor boat racing was made in the events run in heats here yesterday. In the third and last heat of the twenty-foot class the Comet, owned by Bllslnger andKolso of Bellevue, Iowa, covered the five
mile course in 10:57, or at an average of 27.3 miles per hour. The world's
record for displacement boats of twen
ty-foot over all, already held by this
same -boat, was 24:46. In the thirty two foot class the twenty-six foot Em
erson, owned by A. II. Travers of Poughkeepsie, N. Y.. traveled the five
miles in 10:05 4-5, or at the rate of 29.8
miles per hour. This was the fastest time ever made In competition In the Mississippi river basin, also the fastest
time on record for a boat of twenty
six foot displacement. A. G. Gunther of Chicago in the Racy finished fourth in the twenty-foot class, while J.. H, Pugh of Chicago In the Disturber was
fourth In the thirty-two foot class.
LEWIS VS. MANSFIELD.
New York, Aug. 31. A ten round
bout scheduled for Friday night at the National Sporting club, between Harry Lewis, who claims the welterweight
championship of America, and Harry
Mansfield, an English bruiser, is en
gaging the interest of New York fight followers. Mansfield put up such a
good fight against Lewis when they clashed at Philadelphia that there was an immediate demand for him to appear
here.

CY SEYMOUR, FORMER GIANT, WHO HAS BEEN CHASED BACK TO THE MINORS. Baltimore, Aug. 30. Baseball fans here are figuring that wit C; - mour, who was secured from the New York Nationals recently, in the regular lineup the team will have a splendid chance to finish In third place. Manager Dunn believes that Cy still maintains tils hitting eye and will help the Orioles win many victories with his big stick. For years Cy was among the leading hitters of the National league. He began to go back two years ago. His legs were in bad shape in 190S. Last year he got into trouble with Latham and was suspended. Then on the day of his reinstatement his ankle was broken. He finished the last few weeks of the season and hit better than at any previous time in his major league career. Snodgrass this season crowded Cy out of a regular position, and he became excess baggage. Seymour went to New York as a southpaw from the Albany team' In the New York State league. He
lacked control. He was so wild that rarelv did he have an effective day. But
he was a terriffic hitter and for that reason was converted into an outfielder.

PACKEY M ABAHDOH
TOUR OF AUSTRALIA
Mother Objects and Mcln
tosh Says He'll Release Stock Yards Bruiser.
Packey McFarlanfl's trip to Australia promises to go into the discard along with many of the south sider's other
pugilistic ventures. Hugh D. Mcintosh,
the Australian promoter, visited Chicago yesterday to see Packey and announced last night that it was doubt-, ful if McFarland would go to the An
tipodes to wage four fights as previously agreed.
Packey's mother is opposed to his
making the long trip and Mcintosh stated that if she refused her consent!
today he would release Packey from
his contract and take some other fighter over.
. The Australian had an interview with Johnny Thompson and made the
sycamore uycione a proposition for a trip to the Antipodes. He hopes to close a deal with Johnny today. Matty Baldwin-' has ben- signed- 'ilp-ToT fights
in the far east and Mcintosh hopes to corrall several other American fight
ers for his proposed tour of the world
before sailing.
If McFarland does not go to Aus
