(Special to Thk Times. ) Indiana Harbor, May 29. The long looked for and much talked of game between East Chicago and Indiana Harbor took place yesterday, or at least the biggest part of it did. before the rain descended and put a quietus on the pastime, with the result that East Chicago won out by the score of 4 to 1. There were rooters from both ends of town, but there was no Question about which bunch was Inspirited by the greatest amount of loyalty. East Chicago unquestionably had the edge on the Harbor In this respect. Eldridge pitched a magnificent game for East Chicago, as did also Kelly, his opponent, and the batting of Ullman the tall left fielder lor the visitors. was a big factor in the winning of the game. In four times at bat Ullman made four hits, two of them being doubles, but unfortunately for him he after the first half of the seventh lnj ning and the score must necessarily I revert back to the end of the sixth in; ning. Whether the Harbors could have overcome the lead gained by East ChiI cago in the three innings they would 1 still have had to play, provided the I storm had not come up, is a matter of conjecture, but not probable. East Chlcago outplayed their opponents at alt the angles of the game yesterday, and their victory was a clean one. The games scheduled for tomorrow will be: Hammond at Indiana Harbor, East Chicago at Crown Point, and Gary at Whiting. EAST CHICAGO. r .3 .0 .0 .0 .0 .0 .0 .0 .1 p 0 0 2 0 3 12 1 0 0 Gorman, 2b. .

St. Louis, Mo., May 29. A series of cloudbursts and hailstorms bred by the torrid heat which has prevailed hereabouts lately prevented the final game of the series of two between the Cubs and Cardinals yesterday. The combination deluge knocked out Chicago's chance to tie the Giants for the leadership of the old league. It also knocked out the possibility of dropping back in case of a defeat. Meanwhile it knocked out the heat wave, saving a few lives and gave the Cubs an easy and comfortable, although damp getaway on the last lap of their circuitous trio. From the time the first downpour hit the thirsty ball yard before 2 o'clock there never was a chance to play the game. Dry as it was, the field could not drink fast enough to keep from chok lng, but the local management refused to call it off until long after the sched uled hour for starting play. CALUMETS RAISING DOUGH FOR THE DUDS i i v Enterprising Youngsters AX ready Have $50, But Will Get More by Dance. (Special to The Times.) East Chicago, May 29.

WILD AUTO SPEED CARHIVALTODAY Champion Will Try for Records; 73 Miles an Hour Predicted. Indianapolis, Ind., May 29. As a curtain raiser for the great 500-mile automobile race at the speedway on Memorial day, "Wild Bob" Burman today will attempt to lower the world's record for the quarter, half and mile with the big "Blitzen Benz," with which he has won the title of speed king during the last year. With the track in the best of condition, the chances for new marks for Burman are excellent, unless the anticipated rain turns the track into a pond. All day long dark clouds have threatened to let loose a flood and vied with the sun, but the latter won. With the intense heat of the last week rain seems a certainty, and each day of delay has caused the promoters and drivers added anxiety. Burman's trial today is scheduled for 10 o'clock this morning. Before he makes his effort the ten cars which did not try. for their qualifying quarter mile -at the rate of seventy-five miles per hour will be given a chance to meet the requirements. These machines have been laid up for various kinds of repairs, and it Is a good bet that some of them will fail to qualify. The officials seem pretty certain that at least four of the ten will make good, which insures a field of a least tony starters tne largest, neia ever started In one race in this country on either track or road. After tomorrow's trials a class of schooling will be started with Fred Wagner chief of faculty. The drivers are to be drilled in the method "of start lng, since the big list of entries re quires a new system. They must all follow Carl Fisher around the course once in order of entry, and after the completion of the lap Fisher turns out and the field is' sent away. This is to avoid the smoke and other dangers un avoidable If the machines are-sent off in tiers. Large delegations from all sections of the country began to pour into Indianapolis today by train and automo bile. A big special pulled in from New York, and all trains from Chicago Drought motor enthusiasts. Scores of others arrived from Chicago by auto mobile and-others will come tomorrow. The hotels are already filled to cspaci ty, and without reservations it is impossible to get accommodations at the regular hostelries. But the citizens of Irfdianapolis have come to the rescue and the bureau of Information has list, of nearly 2,000 rooms In private residences and apartments for the benent or the visitors. Even the best homes in the city have been offered to accommodate the crowds, and nearhv towns will provide accomodations for those coming by auto. COSTER HEATS CONLEY IN 20-ROUND BOUT . Eastern Boxer Has Italian Bewildered and Is Beaten in But One Round. New Orleans, La., May 29. Joe Cos ter of Brooklyn defeated Frankie Con ley of Kenosha, Wis., at the West Side Athletic club yesterday afternoon in probably the best featherweight fight ever pulled off in the south. ,The Brook lyyn boy forced the milling through out, and was master of the situation at all times, administering a terribl le beating to Conley. Loniey recently met in the same arena Abe Attell and Johnny Coulon and in both instances he fared bette than he did at the hands of the Brook lyn Italian. Conley showed his usual bulldog determination and ability to take punishment, but his work was ab solutely devoid of science. Several times he was. so confused that he started for his corner under the impression that the bell had rung, pnee Coster reminded him that the round was not yet over, refusing to tage advantage of the Italian boy's distress. Only in one round did Conley have any margin and that was in the seventh, when Cqter appeared to be resting. Coster showed a good strong- punch in both arms. His most effective work was done with his left. His 'short arm jolts rocked Conley's head in every round. Conley. at the end, was bleed ing from -a split lip, both eyes were swollen and his face was generally puffed. Abe Attell has agreed to meet yesterday's winner in a championship bout next fall. Dr. Wallace Wood was the referee yesterday. In addition " t here were three judges, Thomas Andrews, sporting editor of the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin; W. R. Hamilton, sporting editor of the New Orleans Item, and Fred Buckowitz, a local fan. Wood did not. render any decision. After the fight he announced that the three judges were unanimous in giving the fight to Coster.
