THE TIMES.

EAST CHICAGO AND IND. HARBOR

EAST CHICAGO. . Paul Feasel, assistant sporting--1 editor of The Times, was the guest ,,; Mr. Louis at Kast Chicago and Indiana Harbor Tuesday evening. The Tuesday Heading club held their regular meeting yesterday afternoon at the club rooms of the Kast Chicago club. The program consisted of a paper on "Stratford on Avon" by Mrs. George II. Summers, the reading of some of James Whitcomb Riley's poems by Mrs. Charles Iliehter, and two instrumental solos by Mrs. F. 1 Kvans. The roll call was "William Shakespeare," each member responding with incidents of his life, or anything which suggested itself which had to do with the great playwright. The meeting of the Odd Fellows' lodge last night was well attended, about ninety being present. The first degree was conferred on Roy Ayres by the degree team of the Calumet lodge of Hammond and the work was particularly fine and greatly admired by those present. There were about sixty-five visitors present from Hammond, Whiting, Indiana Harbor and Hege-w-isch. All enjoyed a good time. Refreshments were served after the business of the evening was concluded. The Beacon Street Improvement association met last night at the residence of L. D. Williams. MisS Ann Galvin returned Monday from Cleveland, O., where she was the g-uest of Mrs. Mack for a few days. Miss Galvin was accompanied on the trip by Miss Hastings of Hammond. Nathan Levi attended the funeral of his cousin, Mrs. Bluma Fried. 2344 Folk street. Chicago, last Monday. Mrs. Fried's Indiana Harbor friends were considerably shocked to learn that Mrs. Fried dropped dead Sunay morning, without the slightest warning. She ha not been complaining, and her death was wholly unlooked for. She was buried Monday in Western Star cemetery, Forest Park.

BASEBALL GUIDE OUT. Spalding's official amateur baseball guide for Chicago and surrounding towns was issued yesterday. The book contains over 275 photographs of Chicago semi-pro and amateur baseball clubs, together with pictures of the leading officials of the game and the umpires. Special articles are devoted to the Intercity and Amateur Managers' associations, the Chicago SemiPro league, the Park Owners' association and some twenty amateur leagues.

MILLERS GET TIGER HURLER Detroit. May 10. Pitcher Cavet of the Tigers has been turned over to the Minneapolis American Association club. He is the only one of the recruits to lose his berth. The good showing of '"Covington, Lafitte and Lively, however, forced Jennings to dispose of Cavet, who did not ehow up as well as the othees.

INDIANA HARBOR. The large crowd which attended the Christian Culture club meeting last night at the Baptist church enjoyed a splendid evening. In the absence of Miss Mary Lightbody, who was unable to be present, but who had prepared a paper on the value of foreign travel, Miss Harbaugh read the paper. Miss Lightbody's naoer nroved

most enjoyable, the writer having

traveled abroad and being thereby familiar with many incidents of foreign life, of which those who have never been in Europe in the role of travelers, know little or nothing. Two oth

er absentees were Miss Meno and Miss

i-tookey. so C. P. Holway included the subjects which had been assigned to them, which were respectively "From New-York to Triest" and "Stories and Poems of Switzerland" in his paper. Mr. oHlway's subject was "Scenes and People of the Austrian Tyrol." This Taper was also greatly enjoyed. Miss Frances Goldman read a good paper on "Sights of Switzerland," and John Ford interspersed the program with vocal solos. Next week Mr. Winfield S. Hall of Northwestern university will give a talk on "Evolution and Religion" and Mr. Holway will give a condensed illustrated lecture on Boston. Misses Florence Williams, Winifred Webb and Laura, Julia and Ruth Jernberg are attending the matinee at Powers' theater, Chicago, this afternoon. The play is "The Seven Sisters."

CALUMETS LOSE TO MERCURIES East Chicago, Ind., May 10. The East Chicago Mercuries added another scalp to their. war belts when they defeated the hard-hitting Calumets of Oklahoma in a slugging match participated in by both sides, but In which the hitting honor was much n their favor, as they got one home run and about ten two baggers from the Calumet pitcher's delivery. The feature of the game, however, was the home run of T.j Whelan, who batted in two runs ahead of him in the fifth inning. Morgan and Delor, the Mercuries' battery, did effective work throughout the game and no less then ten men took the third strike. The base running of the Mercuries was speedy, poor grounds considered, while the Calumets were unable to steal bases at all and scored only on hits. The game was cut to seven innings as the field was in such poor shape. The final count was: Mercuries, 21; Calumets, 7. The Mercuries would like to hear from more teams averaging around 16 or 17 years and will arrange Saturday afternoon games if Sunday games are not to be had. For games address Manager F. E. Keenan, 4728 Todd avenue. East Chicago, Ind.

PITCHERS' DUEL TAKEN BY ILLINI Champaign, 111., May 10. The Illini shut out Purdue. 4 to 0, in a tight game yesterday, the feature being the pitchers' battle between Kemman and Morrow. The Illinois man held the Boilermakers to a lone hit, made by Heir in the ninth after two men were out. Morrow fanned thirteen Illini. but the hits made off him were costly. Purdue did not get a man to third base. Weber and Butzer led the Illini batters with a brace of singles each.

San Francisco and Portland are having a great fight for the honors in the Pacific Coast league.

"FARMER BILL" 'ENDlCOl T HAD RETIRED, BUT 500-MILE RACE WAS TOO ALLURING

"Farmer Bill" Endicott is one of the latest entries in the 500-mile automobile race over the Indianapolis speedway May 30. Last fall he announced he had made $10,000 automobile racing, that he had retired from the track and bought a farm. The prize offered for the 500-mile contest brought him back.

CAPON! ID M'GQQRTY TO FIGHT NEXT RACINE BATTLE i Drexel A. C. Unable to Find Foe For Packey; Will Sign Up Middleweights. -

Chicago fisht fans are going to have another chance to see two good middle-weights in action In the near future. The Drexel A. C. of liacine has given up trying to find a suitable opponent for Packey McFarland and has gone to the middleweight class to get a match. The Chicago agents of the club. Krone and Aleysage, are figuring on Tony Caponl and Eddie McQoorty, the Oshkosh battler, who has just returned from an unprofitable trip to Kngland.

The match has not yet reached the signing articles stage, but the club has

gone far enough to know that both fighters are willing to go on. And as

there Is not another match tn sight for

them which stacks up as good as this one, there is no doubt but the mill

will be staged. The club figures on

pulling off the bout in about two weeks, and does not expect that the reformers at the "Wisconsin city will be able to etop the affair. McGoorty by reason of his Jaunts abroad has become a middleweight star and is sure to prove a good drawing card. Kddie is popular in the Wisconsin towns. He is a classy boxer, and as many Chicago fans have not had a chance to see him in action, there will be a big bunch go up from here. Caponi has fought a lot of good middleweights. twice staying the limit with Billy Papke. He gave Hugo Kelly a couple of tough fights and is reckoned as a really dangerous man at 158 pounds. Tony has a big Italian following in Chicago, which will be sure to back him against the Irishman from the Badger state.

CUBS ASK WAIVERS DfJ BEULBAGHAND PFIESTER

New York. May 10. Manager Chance has asked the clubs of the National league to waive claim on Ed Reulbach

and Jack Pfiester, and most of the teams in the league already have waived all claim, not wanting anything that Chance is through with.

Chance, disgusted over the showing

of his pitchers this spring, is deter

mined to build up a pitching staff upon when he can rely, and his first step Is

to get rid of the two who have been mainstays In the past. So far no club has shown any inclination to take either man. Reulbach, who is one of the most wonderful pitchers in the business when in condition, is wilder than ever this spring, and does not show any signs of regaining control. Pfiester seems to be unlucky and Ineffective just when he ought to be going best. There is a chance that Chicago will withdraw requests for waivers in Reulbach's case, but Pfiester appears doomed, leaving the Cubs without a lefthanded pitcher.

(inmea Today. Chicago at New York. Pittsburg at Philadelphia. Cincinnati at Boston. St. Louis at Brooklyn. New York. May 10. The Cubs' new plan of attack fell down yesterday In the opening game of the eastern invasion and the Giants were returned victors by a score of 5 to 3. It hardly was a fair trial for the new machine, however, as the test purely was a commercial affair and not a sporting proposition in any sense. The contest took place in a drizzling rain which began shortly after noon and lasted until sunset with practically no cessation. It was raining so hard at 4 o'clock, the hour set for beginning hostilities, that Manager McGraw delayed the start for several minutes to see whether it was going to keep It up or stop. It did neither, merely reverting to a drizzle of steady proportions. But as there were some 10,000 bugs gathered on the hilltop for the game it was decided to keep their money if possible. The home- team profited most by the deal because it achieved a victory in addition to the lion's share of the coin, while the Cubs were compelled to.be content with the lamb's share of the cash and took a licking to get it

James McAleer, heading a carload of Washington ball players, arrived in the city yesterday. The Senators are the first of the easterners to invade Chicago this season, and a series of royal battles is expected at the south side park beginning today. Two stars of the senatorial aggregation were not registered at the Great Northern, which will be the headquarters of the visitors during their four day stay here. Charlie Street, who carries with him a split hand, and Tom Iluges, whose pitching arm at the present time is of the glass variety, were not In the party, but will report to Manager McAleer at Cleveland the latter part of next week. The hotel was full of senators and considerable lobbying was done during the afternoon. These invaders are of the saucy sort and sincerely believe they will scalp the Spx in the first series of the year. With the exception of Street and Hughes the players are in fine copdition.. They have not been batting up to their pafcer standard, but have gone along and held their own with the easterners and are now in shape to improve their standing in the pennant race.

Empire Club Meets Demands, But Dispute Is Over Forfeits.

Coy as a sixteen-year-old maiden, Frank Gotch again sidestepped the officials of the Kmpire Athletic club at a meeting yesterday, at which It was hoped that the champion's signature would be secured to an agreement which would bind hard and fast a match with Hackenschmidt. Matchmaker Coffey, armed with articles which embodied to the letter all of Frank's previous demands, presented them to Gotch for his consideration. In briefer time than he once put Zbyszko to the mat the champion got a toe hold on the agreement and objected to everything from the way the articles were worded to the color of

the paper on -which they were indited. After considerable wrangling Coffey discovered that Gotch's chief objection to the agreement was to that part providing that the forfeit money should be posted in Chicago. Determined that the Empire club should stage the bout and that Chicago fans ahould see the return match between the "Russian Lion" and the champion, Coffey conceded another point -with the many previous ones, and asked Gotch what he wanted.
