INDIANA HARBOR. One of the biggest sermons ever preached In the Baptist church was delivered last night by Rev. Guy C. Crippen of Warsaw, Wis. The house should have been packed to Its utmost capacity to have heard such a message. The Hammond orchestra will be hand tonight. This Is a good sized orchestra, well trained, and so far as music is concerned there will be none better In the town. The sermon for this evening will be given by Rev. Bert E. Smith of the Washington boulevard M. E. church, Chicago. Rev. Smith is a hummer, and does things on the biggest possible scale. He is one of the coming men of his denomination and whoever falls to hear him will miss It. Along with the orchestra and the sermon there will be good live congregational singing. From now on until the end of this series of meetings there will not be a speaker on the platform who is not possessed with exceptional talent. If there were any better men to be had around in these parts of the universe we would have them. The speaker for Friday night is a rare combination of genius and eloquence, and whoever misses hearing him will miss hearing a great man. His name is Clarence W. Kemper. Remember, a different speaker every night, the speakers are the best, and each one

gives the best he has. Who could ask

for more?

Schedule for 1911 Adopted

and Spalding Ball Chosen For Period of 20 Years.

CYCLONIC FIGHTER IS ON WARPATH

New York, Feb. 16. Baseball mag

nates of the National leagu closed ,

inir annual spring meeting yesieraay afternoon after one of the quickest and

most peaceful sessions ever held..- The

schedule for the season of 1911 was adopted and made public, the Spalding

ball, which has been used for so many

years, was chosen again for a period of

twenty years, and the club owners

closed the meeting by voting President

Tom Lynch a raise in salary from 9,-

000 to $10,000 a year.

The schedule was approved without

a murmur Irom any magnate and a

vote of thanks was extended to the committee that served in the drafting of it. The season is to open on April

12 and' close on Oct. 12, the opening date being the same as that of the

American league, but the closing date

coming four days later. Conflicts with the American league

have been wiped out in every city except Chicago. Here there will be no more clashes than usual, nine in all. -Eight of them will' be Sunday dates and . one a Saturday. In St. Louis all con- J flicts have been eliminated for the first i time and ach league has thirteen Sun- j days to itself. There are but two j scheduled double-headers, both In Bos- ( ton. None of the eastern clubs plays j

two series in succession witn tne same club. This will prevent a weak club from being pitted against a strong club for a long stretch of games. Each club plays on twenty-six Saturdays out of a possible twenty-six. Each eastern club has two Saturdays and two Sundays In the west, a new feature worked out by Barney Dreyfuss. The openings and holidays, as usual, are fixed by rule of alternation with the Ameri

can league, and these, it is .believed, have been distributed as evenly as possible. The new schedule shows that the Chicago Cubs open on their home grounds against the St. Louis Cardinals. After a series of four games with this club tho Pittsburg team omes for the same number of garwes.

They are to play in Pittsburg on Decoration day, then have the Fourth of July at home with the Cincinnati Reds as the attraction. Labor day at home with the St. Louis Cardinals as the attraction and Columbus day, Oct. 9, at home, with the Pirates as the attraction. "William H. Russell, the new magnate from Boston, who enjoys the balance of power, finally disposed of the controversy over the official ball. The two parties knew that the issue rested with the Hub mogul. Russell seems a

well balanced diplomat who would not commit himself until he had heard all the evidence. He finally decided to

cast his vote with Murphy, Fogel, Ebbets and Dreyfuss, who have all along

stood out for a renewal of the contract with the Spalding people. When .their issue 'was lost the advocates of the new ball gamely voted to make the

decision unanimous.

The nature ot, the ..new proposition

advanced by Spalding was not divulged,

but it must have been a good one to appeal to the league so strongly after the offer Edgar J. Goldsmith made yes

terday. Goldsmith offered to pay the

league $325,000 for a twenty year contract. Half of this sum was to be cash and the other half in goods to be paid in equal yearly Installments.

on their way to the coast. Donovan had a long session yesterday with Jake Stahl, his former first baseman, trying to induce Jake to desert his Sixty-third street bank for the summer and play another season with the Red Sox. Jake's

answer was a decisive no. . JaKe announced that his business had grown so that it was necessary to double the capitalization and that banking quite agreed with him. Just to take the kinks out of his athletic body after sitting in a banker's chair for six days, Jake expects to take light exercise on Saturdays and Sundays this summer, but he didn't say whether he would play ball with some semi-pro club or take up golfing.

PURPLE FIVE 1IIIIER JkHEBTHREE YEARS Defeats Minnesota for First Conference Basketball Victory Since 1908.

Joy reigned in Evanston last night as a result of the unexpected victory of the Northwestern universitl basketball team over the University of Minnesota at the Patten gymnasium, 2 lto 18. It was the first triumph the Purple five has enjoyed for three years among the conference colleges. The game was one of the most exciting and hotly contested matches ever played between

Hot Springs, Ark., Feb. 16. The first baseball game of the year for major leaguers took place here yesterday afternoon. It was between a picked team from the many big stars, who have assembled early for training purposes. Just how the game came out was a sort of mystery about the resorts last night and even opinions. National league players claim they won, 5 to 0. American league players claim the victory by a 4 to 1 score. Numerous other scores were given out by various onlookers. Fromme of Cincinnati was touched up for seven hits' in four Innings and Clark of Providence, R. I., gave four In five innings. The feature of the game- was the txeellent twirling of "Dixre" Walksr of Washington and big "Rube" Chapell of. Mobile, who allowed a single each. Neither team made an - error. Chapell also made first home run, catching the ball on the nose and sending it over the left field fence.. Grover Land of the Cleveland Naps received the shoots for the American and his work was great. Hackett caught a good game for the Nationals.

BOSTON NATIONAL CLUB FOR SALE

Boston, Mass., Feb. 16. Unless present indications fail the Boston National , league team will change ownership in- '

side of the new few days. The stock

owned by L. C. Page is on the market.

The stock has already been offered to

one well known Boston baseball man

and turned down. He stated, however.

that he was willing to purchase the club outright and would consider an offer to buy the controlling stock. According to the rumor here today Page and Russell, two of the principal own

ers, have had a serious disagreement and the only way to patch it up Is for

one of them to quit the club.
