PURDUE-INDIANA MEET CALLED OFF

' Lafayette, Ind., May 17. Hugh Nicol, athletic director, today conceled the track meet scheduled for May 27 be--tween Purdue and Indiana. Indiana refused to omit the hammer throw from the list of events and as this is barred at Purdue as a result of Professor B. M. Hoak being killed two years ago by a Purdue athlete the Purdue management regards Indiana's attitude as unsportsmanlike.

Formal action toward the oiling of

the road between Chicago and Elgin In order to get a model highway for those who go to the road races next August

was taken yesterday when representa

tlves of the Elgin Commercial club and

Elgin Automobile Road Racing asso

elation conferred with the directors of the Chicago Motor club. Representing

the Commercial club were E. J. O'Brien

and Charles Shoemaker, while F. W,

Jencks spoke in behalf of "the road

racing association. The Elgin! tes presented a proposi

tlon to the motor club agreeing to take care of two-thirds of the twenty-one

miles between Melrose Park and El

gin, provided the motor club look after the remaining one-third. The Elglnltes

propose to raise money for the road

work in a novel manner. They figure that there are 250 cars owned In and

around the town and that the owner of each should contribute something

toward oiling the road to " Chicago.

They propose to collect subscriptions

according to horse power and In thi

way raise about $800. It is roughly es

tlmated that the cost of oiling will be

In the neighborhood of $2,300. In order to get at the gist of thing the Chicago Motor club appointed i

committee consisting of Henry Paul man, R. J. Finnegan and John H. Kel

ly to co-operate with the Elglnltes and secure the assistance of' the Cook

county officials In fixing up the roads between the two points In order that the oiling can be done in a satisfactory

manner. At the present time thi

stretch Is reported to be In wretched

condition and the road wll Ineed con slderable grading and scraping. As

sistance in this line is expected from

the towns of Addison, Bloomingdal

and Ontarlovllle, which are located

between Melrose Park and Elgin.

The motor club directors, while they

were on the subject of good roads, also took action In the way of selecing new signboard routes to be signboarded by

Charles H. Hayes, chairman of the sign

board committee. It was' decided to

signboard a lake-to-river road, start ing in Chicago and ending at Daven

port, Iowa, the club in the latter town

having promised to co-operate.

The route will be run to Elgin, then to Geneva, and west from the latter

point a distance of 180 miles altogeth

er. Another route selected for sign

boardln Is the one to St. Joseph, Mich

while several loose ends like from Otta wa to Starved Rock and Elgin to Jolie

through Aurora also will be marked.

Packey McFarland and Matt Wells, j Ton cannot beat that for a card. And

present indications are that the king of England's lightweights and the

stockyards star will meet at Milwau

kee during the week of June 11.

If the match goes through, and Tom

Andrews eays it will, It Is sure to be the choicest fight plum staged In the Cream City, or any place In the middle west for that matter, since Bill

Papke and Stanley Ketohel fought for the middleweight championship there.

Andrews met Wells while in Eng

land a few months ago and secured the promise of the champion and his manager for first "call on his services in America. Wells sailed last Saturday

from England and Is expected here late this week. Andrews has -understood that Packey did not care t take on the Englishman, but was disillusioned yes

terday, much to his gratification.

The Milwaukee promoter and sport

KAUFMAN & WOLF, .HAMMOND, IND.

An nouncern'erit

writer met Emll Thlry, Packey's agent, and soon learned that the Irishman was willing and eager for a tilt with the

Briton. The match was closed as far a sit can be until Wells arrives and Andrews is confident that the Englishman will show no desire to balk on the, match. No articles were signed and no forfeits were posted, but both sides seem eager for the battle and there seems no reason to believe that it will fall through. ; Wells told Andrews he would do 185 pounds at 2 o'clock or 8 o'clock and Packey says that suits him. So there is nothing to do but wait for Matt and then sign the famous fighters up.

Andrews says he has a building In.

Milwaukee which will seat 7,000 people. He proposes to make the prices for the match $1 to $10. That will mean a big gate If the house Is packed, and ft is sure to be if that pair gets careless

Beating Connie Mack's big champions the third straight time, the vivacious White Sox leaped into second place in the American league pennant race yesterday afternoon. However, they are by no means on the very heel3 of Detroit. The score of yesterday's fracase was 6 to 1, the Sox whaling the ball hard and timely, while James Scott held the world beaters to three hits. Two of them, both doubles, came in the same Inning and gave the champions their lone tally. Scott's pitching, Mclntyre's batting, and Corhan's fielding were the impresthings In the afternoon's pastimlng. The Wyoming spit ball flinger fairly reveled in the summer heat and had the ball dropping off the corners of the plate in such a deceiving manner that Mack's heavy sluggers were powerless. Mclntyre was directly responsible for three of the Sox's six tallies with a triple and a double. Toung Mr, Corhan spoiled many a base hit for the struggling champions by some of the most active short stopping that ever has been seen on the south side. He got three putouts and eleven assists all told, and covered ground from deep short ''to a spot back of second base, never once falling on a chance.

Brooklyn, N. T, May 16. Outpointed in general the Cubs lost by a one run margin the third game of the series with Brooklyn yesterday. Score, 3 to 2. Cy Barger of the' broad ears and broader curves put the jinx on the champions with the help of some luck and the absence of Joe Tinker. Hank Weaver was Barger's opponent and they were hooked up in apitchers' battle, a rare sight these days. Weaver was hit harder than was his rival, but was a lot steadier. It was not dissatisfaction with his goods that made Manager Chance take Weaver off the slab but to toss Vic Saier into a pinch, where he came close to delivering a stick of dynamite that would have broken up the game. . The Infants massed their hits on Weaver In two rounds, the first and fourth, and by that -process scored enough tallies .to keep out of reach, although the Cubs came so strong in their last half inning that they had every one anxious. Indeed, it was not until Jimmle Sheckard's pop fly settled in the hands of Stark that the home bugs let go of the breaths they had been holding for eight or nine innings.

following the 500-mile automobile race, were given a decided setback today when Mayor Shank declared there would be no boxing in Indianapolis on Memorial clay. "Why,' it .would be as bad as if the match were held on Sunday," said the mayor. "The bouts will not even be started."

PITCHER DRUCKE SUES FOR $25,000 New York, May 17. Lewis Drucke, pitcher for the New Tork Nationals, has brought suit against the Interborough Rapid Transit company for $25.000:. for injuries sustained on Oct. 20 when a subway train in which he was a passenger was derailed. Drucke says he was a strap hanger at the time and that the lurch threw him against a stanchion, breaking a rib and

spraining his throwing arm "to an extent that probably will impairpermanently his success as a baseball pitcher." The legal papers explain that ever since the accident Drucke has found the use of . his arm painful and that specialists who have examined it give him slender hope for the future.

COITY STARTS FIGHT TO FORCE REMOVAL OF THE CUBSBALL PARK Commissioner Glennon Asks Attorney Tatge's Opinion on Charge.

County Commissioner Charles Glennon asked County Attorney G. J. Tatge yesterday for a legal opinion on the subject of the proposed stopping of the playing of baseball at the park of the Chicago National league club near the county hospital and the detention hospital. If it Is found that the club cannot be forced to abandon the park because of Its proximity to the'hospltals. Attorney Tatge has been asked to give an

opinion as to the feasibility of removing the "entrance of the park to the east end, and of prohibiting peanut, popcorn, .gum and other venders from crying out their wares within one block of the hospital grounds. At present it is said that these venders make the air ring with their . cries from Van Buren street to the ball grounds, disturbing the patients in the hospitals.
