Hall of Northwestern university when the Christian Culture club asked him to make an address in Indiana Harbor Tuesday evening, May 16. He has made over 300 addresses in Chicago and other cities since last September. But he kindly consented to give a stereoptlcon lecture on the subject: "Evolution and Religion." This lecture will take fifty minutes and will be followed by another of about thirty minutes given by Prof. Chester F. Holway. It will be a condensation of his lecture which he is giving now in Chicago under the auspices of The "Daily News. The subject is "In and Abaut Historic Boston."

Secrets of Good Advertising

Concentration

; An eight-inch advertisement in one newspaper will bring much bigger results than a two-inch advertisement in four newspapers. Don't skip around from one newspaper to another. Success in advertising comes from hammering away at the same crowd, x Pick out the newspaper which has the kind of readers you want for customers, and then stick. If you want to make an advertisement hit all you need to do is to talk to the reader of the newspaper as you talk across the counter the counter to a customer. Simply talk. That's all. Be sincere about it. Let your words ring true. The -people will listen. They like it. The fact that your advertisement appears continuously in a reputable newspaper stimulates pub

Little James Courtney, the 6-year-old nephew of Miss Cora Courtney, who has been very sick with scarlet fever for the past three weeks, is now doing nicely and almost well again.

FOUND! BOXER WHO SEEKS FINISH GO WITH LANOFOR s . Thompson Challenges Sam for Battle at 165 Ringside- " Cyclone" on Tour to California.

A rare discovery was made yesterday. A fighter was found who not only professes that he is not afraid of terrible Sam Langford, but who goes one better and states that he Is being consumed with an, overpowering desire to get Into the same ring with Black Sammy and fight him to a finish. There have been plenty of boxers willing to take on the Boston negro in a short bout, depending on boxing skill to keep them away from the haymakers for six or ten rounds, but those who have shown willingness to battle to a finish with Sammy have been scarce as Mexican federals at Juarez. Imagine the surprise in boxing circles yesterday when Cyclone Johnny Thompson unburdened himself of a challenge to Langford and let it be known that the fight must be a long one. The Sycamore chicken farmer says he will consent to take on Sam at 165 pounds ringside, a weight Langford has confessed he can make. Johnny, however, wants the bout to go twenty rounds at SOX DOWN MACKS IN SECOND GAUE World's Champions Again Fall in Defeat, Score Thi3 Time Being 6 to 2. Standing of the Clubs. W. I Pet.

The White Sox trimmed them again yesterday afternoon in the second battle of the series, and it was as fine and as clean cut a victory as has been turned out on the south side this season. The score was 6 to 2, and it was gained because the Sox were up and doing all the time, while there was a suggestion of listlessness on the part of the world beaters. They wasted their opportunities on the bases and were slack in their defense. They hit the ball hard when it could do no good and tapped.it feebly when hits were needed. On the other hand, the Sox made their base hits count in almost every instance and played a startling defensive game, with young Mr. Corhan leading all In brilliancy. He had three puts outs and five assists, and every one was a hard one, but was handled with the accuracy and precision of a master shortstop. Jack Coombs, who won such renown last fall by beating the Cubs three times in the world's series, was slabbing for the Athletics. Jack had his championship poise all right, but his curve wasn't curving in old time style, nor was his fast one hopping as it should, and It seemed the Sox hit the ball whenever they needed a hit. Only eight hits were made ofT Coombs, which Is not much hitting these days of the corking ball. However, the Sox bunched them and hit them for exlra bases, just when long hits were of greatest value. COLLEGE CASUALTY RECORD IS BROKEN Valparaiso, Ind.. May 16. A record for injuries in a ball game was established in yesterday afternoon's contest between the pharmacy and engineers' teams of Valparaiso university, when six of the former team were injured. Smith, center fielder, suffered a broken nose; Simon, pitcher, wrenched his knee sliding to third; Manlove, catcher, dislocated right shoulder In collision with runner scoring; Crape, Reed and Kiley, infielders. were spiked.

the least, but would prefer a finish scrap. The battered mauler from down state

is on his way west for a tour. He is taking his family to see the sights of the Pacific coast. If he is able to secure a contest in California while there he will grab it up to help pay the expenses of the Thompson tour. He is awaiting Papke's return from England, hoping to get another scrap with the Thunderbolt, and in the meantime says he would like to have another tussle with Hugo Kelly. Thompson is of the opinion that he w-111 be able to stop Kelly if he can get a twenty round engagement with the Italian. Silvie Feretti, Hugo1 manager, on the other hand, thinks his clever boxer will make Johnny' listen to the ten count if he can get him into a ring again when both Hugo's hands are fit. Negotiations have been going on for some time for a second meeting between the pair, and there is a chance that a match may be made between Hugo and Johnny before either a San Francisco or Los Angeles club.

The Cubs won the second game of the series from Erother Ebbets Infants without working overtime yesterday, and incidentally almost put Big Ed Reulbach back on the steady job. Score, 6 to 2. , With a margin of three runs in his favor at the start, Reulbach pitched grand, good baseball for over half of the game. He began to wander from the straight and narrow path which leads from the slab to the plate in the fifth, but strayed back into it in time to avoid much comment. Once more, in the sixth. Big Ed waverod'from the perpendicular, and this time the support which had righted him before failed him. Crossed wires between Tinker and Sheckard and a funny boot by Heine Zim let in a couple of runs and unsettled Reulbach so that he was unable to negotiate the going in the seventh. Rescuer Brown came on in time to save the game, which had been positively cinched in the sixth inning. HABBOR HIKE TO INVM0I1 PT. Special Train to Bear the Fans and Rooters to the County Seat. (Special to The Times.) Crown 'Point, Ind., May 16. Instead of the Crown Point baseball team making the trip to Indiana Harbor next Sunday the plan has been reversed and the Harbor aggregation will play their first game with Crown Point on the local diamond. The Harbor team and fans will come on a special train, accompanied by a band, and if support will win the game it will be theirs from the start. It is to be hoped that the riotous scenes enacted at Whiting last Sunday will be a minus quantity in Crown Point during the season, as such feeling and conditions would harm the game materially in this section. The Northern Indiana Baseball association should see to it that its umpires are fair and impartial at all times and places, and the radical fans will coon learn to abide by their decisions. Rowdyism will not be tolerated for an instant in any games plas-ed at the county seat.

"Ef I goes fast they 'rests me, and now it seems ef I goes slow they docs the same."

"I'll shore be there." said the ehampion, "'less somebody "rests me v' for bein' a brunette in a blonde town or somethin' like that 'tween now and tomorrer mawnin'."

In exchange the Cubs get Pitcher Richter, a Chicago boy, who will Join the team immediately in the east. The passing of Pfiester marks the going of the second of the "old machine" veterans, Steinfeldt being the first ot the flag winners to feel the ax. The move was no surprise for Pfiester. He had been working at the west side park for the past few days, and had Intended to leave for his home at Cincinnati last night, but when informed that a deal had been put through, he announced that he would prepare to join his new team mates immediately. SEES PERIL IN BASEBALL GAMES Baseball practice doesn't make Sunday school perfection, if the views ex pressed before the Chicago presbytery yesterday by Rev. William C. Covert, 436 Oakwood boulevard, constitute the last word on that proposition. "You. would better be careful about your Sunday school baseball or there are going to be things to tcandallze the church," he said. "Ministers and elders, watch it, or there will be much that you will regret. "At a game I attended Saturday I heard things I called profanity. We have in our teams an element of professionalism that should be eliminated. Shifting men around from one Sunday school to another because they are good players is poor practice. Having the good player in our Sunday school classes for six weeks in the summer in order that he may play on our teams should not be encouraged. "I don't ask any action by this body, but I want you to be thinking about it." TIMES WANT ADS ARB mciivic! to von FOB -mo POLISH The one best shoe Glish. Quick, brilliant, ting. THE F. f.
