IRCURIES MI HEW BALL GAMES
East Chicago, May 2. The East Chi
cago Mercuries, a team averaging slightly under 17 years, would like games with all teams in the cities of
Hammond, Whiting, Robertscfale, Hess
ville, Gary, and other nines within a
radius of about twenty-five miles.
They prefer early games from the former All Saints (school team) or the Doc's Kids of Hessville, the same to
be played, if favorable, at their
grounds, with the assurance of a return game played at the visitors' home
park.
In our first game of the season last
Sunday the Mercuries met and defeat
ed the Gary Stars in a battle which
was featured by the slugging and field ins of the nine. The Mercuries knock
ed the first Gary pitcher off the slab
in the first Inning and the pitcher who
replaced him would have been blanket
ed but for the fact that they had no
one else, therefore he had to take his
medicine. The score: -
Mercuries 6 4 5 1 0 2 1 0 0 19 Gary Stars 3 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 Batteries Morgan and Delo'r; Reed,
Quinn and Pastry. For games address F. E. Keenan,
manager Mercuries, 4728 Tod avenue,

No other games rain. Game Today. Chicago at Pittsburg. New York at Brooklyn. Boston at Philadelphia. Pittsburg. Pa., May 2. Spring showers prevented natlonaT pastiming in Pittsburg yesterday and gave the tired members of the Cubs and Pirates a bit of rest after their jump to and from this place to Chicago. It rained in tha night; it rained in the morning, and a half hour before game time a breezy shower from the west came up and ended all prospects for the day's sport. The athletes all were out in working clothes and had nearly an hour of batting practice before the final shower, so the day was not entirely lost. A small crowd had collected near the park, but no tickets were sold and th gates never were opened. Manager Chance of the champions took occasion to try out his lame ankle and found it wanting. He put on hia war suit and attempted to play about first base for a few minutes in practice, tut after a couple of balls had been Jilt to him he walked to the club house and took off his uniform and announced afterward that he didn't expect to put it on again for a week.
Jimmy Clabby and George (Knockout) Brown practically were, matched last night to box either at Hammond or Racine within the next two weeks. Message & Krone, matchmakers of the Drexel A. C. of Racine, are planning to put this bout on in place of a lightweight', battle with McFarland as one of the- principals, as they have been unable thus far -to pick a suitable opponent for, Packey. . Clabby wants to fight, at . his home in Hammond, but Nate Lewis, manager, of Brown, is determined to have the fight go to Racine, as he thinks it will draw a larger house at' the latter place than at the Indiana town. - Lewis and Clabby held a conference last nteht at Hammond and definite announcement of the match is expected today or tomorrow. Clabby will go
into the fight with Brown in very much the same position Thompson held when he faced Kelly last Friday night. Jimmy went to Australia a welterweight and came back a middleweight, while Thompson went abroad a lightweight and came back a claimant for the 158pound title. Clabby has not" fought a battle since his return, as he has been waiting for an injured hand to heal. Clabby Isanxious, to -fight,; Brown and says his hand is in shape agaln.Frank Mulkern; . Jimmy's manager, however, fears the injured mauler is not strong enough yet to warrant a match with a tough fellow like Brown and will have the hand examined today. If he finds the injury well healed he'll close the match at once and the site of the fight will be named. The dates suggested are May 13 at Hammond and May 15 at Racine, r-
BALL LEAGUE IN ENG. 10 8E ORGANIZED
St. Louis, Mo., May 1. Charles C. Spink of this city will sail for England on AVednesday on the Mauretania to organize a baseball league for the Britons. He has been invited abroad to establish a six club league for the subjects of King George. It Is said that there are enough Americans in England to support a small league. A few teams already have been formed, but there is no organization and consequently baseball
is not a howling success there. Spink will take a good look at the situation and if the prospects are at all encouraging he hopes to establish a six club league and recruit a big bunch of his players from America. . According to Spink, the promoters of big soccer matches in England and Ireland are eager to introduce baseball. The soccer matches draw enormous crowds, and the promoters figure baseball could be played at a profit if the right organization was formed. Spink figures that a daily attendance of 4.000 will easily support a baseball club.
