For some time the boys from East
Chicago, attending the high school
have been nagging the Indiana Harbor boys of the school on East Chicago's
superior ability to play ball and on Monday the Harborites challenged the East Chicagoans to a game, to be played yesterday morning, on the old Indiana Harbor grounds. The Harbors won by a score of 7 to 5, thus raising themselves to the highest pinnacle of joy and casting the defeated ones into the depths of misery. The batteries were Dreesen and Saunders for East Chicago and Levin and Gardner for Indiana Harbor. A private meeting of the Alumni association will be held at Mr. Canine's office at 'the city hall tonight. All members please attend. ' s
BALL PLAYER HURT In Game Between Kindel Colts and South Deering. The Kindel Colts played the South Peering Centers at South Deering yesterday afternoon and defeated them by a score of 4 to 3. The Colts made all of their four runt, in the second Inning and came near losing the hard fought game on account of an error by the center fielder. An accident happened to Rut in the first inning when he attempted to make a sacrifice hit with two men on bases. The ball glanced off his bat and struck him in tho cheek, which rendered him unconscious for nearly ten minutes. A doctor was cabled and medical attendance was given him. The Kindel Colts wish to praise the South Deering team for the clean game played, and also the crowd who was orderly and give praise to the Colts.
INDIANA HARBOR. The Ladies' Aid society of the Baptist church of Indiana Harbor will hold its monthly meeting at the home of Mrs. William Evans, 3324 Grapevine street. The meeting will be called at 2:30 o'clock. Al lthe members are lnaited to be present.
Miss Elfie Fox, 3424 Grapevine street, left last Saturday for Joliet, 111., where
she will visit friends and relatives.
The meeting of the Christian Culture
club at the Baptist church last night was well attended and the program highly appreciated. Dr. Alexander
Monroe, pastor of the Congregational
church of East Chicago, delivered an
aaaress on patriotism, which was pronounced fine by those who heard it, and the instrumental and vocal selec
tions of Miss Edith Collier and Mrs,
George H. Summers confirmed, if that
were necessary, the high estimation in which these two talented artists are
held. The next meeting of the club
will take place a week from next Fri
day night, and will be the last meeting of the season. It will be both musical
and social and will be held in the Bap
tist church, as usual.
The Methodist Ladies" Aid society will meet tomorrow afternoon at the .homo
of Mrs. T. A. Flickinger. 3616 Fir street, at 2:30 o'clock, and will be the regular monthly social and business
meeting.
Mrs. C. P. Burdick has been suffer
ing for the past few days with throat
trouble, but is now improving. There was a time when Indiana Har
bor could call herself a good sport and
take pride in the loyalty with which
they supported any institution representing the town, but judging from
the way the people have turned ' ou
to see the last two ball games the day seems to ahve departed and the town
Is fast losing the prestige it had es
tablished for itself in the whole Calu :net region.

Syracuse. K. Y.. May 31. Sam Langford knocked out Ralph Calloway, a colored boxer ' of Utica. in the fourth round of a scheduled ten round battle here yesterday.

.ietory over twenty-nine opponents i
867. Only twice within the last thir
y-one years have there been more than

'iam C. Whitney captured the prize
with Volodyovski, beating twenty-fou
other starters. His son, Harry P,
Whitney, has a starter in the race to
lay. All Gold, but a repetition of the
victory of 1901 would be more than
surprise to racegoers here. John Mad-
len's Adam Bede, which is running unler the colors of Louis Winan and which earlier was highly thought of as the probable winner, has dropped out of the betting, having since been beaten by his two stable companions in trial. J. B. Joel's Sunstar remains the favorite at 5 to 4. King George saw Sunspot win the Epsom plate race yesterday.
AUTO RACE 01 DEAD
plished it without the aid of a mechanician. Instead of the human companion whose duty it is to warn of approaching danger from behind, Harroun had a small mirror mounted Just over the tank of his car in frotn of his face. Thus it is that he- can boast that he has traveled 500 miles at a greater speed
than any living man.
But the race did not go to the swift
alone. Harround is winner of the greatest automobile race ever run because he proved himself to be as cool as a cucumber under trying circumstances, able to think and act within a
fraction of a second, and the possessor of a sound Judgment that kept him
away from the deadly, oil-soaked skids '
and the equally fatal clumps" of racers that proved the undoing of so many
of his companions.

HARBOR'S SCORE OVER
HAMMOND TEAM IN RATTLING GATdE
Indianapolis. May SI. One life was
sacrificed and eight persons were injured yesterday in the 500-mile automobile race, which was won by Ray Har
roun in a Marmon car.
Riding: faster than any human being
ever rode before for the same distance, Harroun shot over the tape in the final
lap Just six hours, forty-one minutes
and eight seconds after the starting bomb was fired. His average speed was
eighty-two miles an hour.
Thundering along scarcely two minutes behind, Ralph Mulford in his
Lozior No. 33 finished second. David Bruce-Brown of New York, who led for mile after mile in the earlier part of the race, was driving like a demffh at
the finish and crossed the , tape third almost in thet smoke of Mulford's machine. At Apex o( Excitement.
The last ten miles of the race proved to be more spectacular than had been
anticipated by even the old-timers.
When the 490-mile mark was reached Harroun was in the lead, with Mulford and Bruce-Brown clinging to the smoke
of his exhaust. Following close behind
with only a few laps to make up, were Spencer Wishart In his Mercedes. Ralph
DePalma in his Simplex and Charley
Mera in his National. As the cars, with a speed almost be
yond the conception of human eyes,
streaked down the grand stand stretch and tossed themselves around the end
curve and into the back stretch, the spectators shouted and waved their
hats and handkerchiefs.
As the speed demons again plunged
Into the grand stand stretch, Mulford closed in on the Marmon car, turning the end curve within five feet of hie prinlcpal rival. On the back stretch the Lozrer passed Harroun, but kept the lead for less than a quarter of a mile. Crowds Shout and Start. With Harroun again at the head of the racing string of steel contrivances, crowds on the grand stand and throngs in the automobiles surrounding the course shouted and stamped. But Mulford kept close to the Marmon racer and Bruce-Brown trailed along within a car's length of the Lozier. Then Mulford's tire went flat. To repair it was but the work of two minutes, and in a twinkling he was Jn his car and off again. The delay proved fatal to the hopes of the Lozier driver. He urged his craft to its highest speed and made up some of the time lost, but Harroun crossed the tape and was proclaimed winner before Mulford had finished his last lap. It had been a race the most exciting in the history of automobile contests, but the sport if it may be so classified must pay the price for the human sacrifice demanded for yesterday's record. ' It is probable that the 500-mile International Swec-pstake race just finished will go down in history as the first and last contest of the sort ever waged. ' Automobile manufacturers and drivers alike agree that the price of cutting a few seconds off the world's record is too great to warrant a repetition of the effort. This protest is led by the winner of yesterday's race, Harroun, who announced that he never again would enter such a slaughter. The terrific, heart-breaking strain of
keeping up the pace about the- giant saucer that serves as a track was apparrent from the very start. Of the forty racers wjio broke away with the pomp of a bomb this morning only
twelve withstood the demands made
upon their nerve and machines. The remainder succumbed, one by one, after holding on as long as human limitations would admit. The race itself, however, must bo considered an unprecedented success, if viewed from a purely sporting standpoint. It drew the greatest crowd that ever witnessed a similar contest any place in the world 100,000 speed fans, drawn from every state in the Union. KlrM Three vlner.

' Never before was a 500-mile race attempted. The longest previous race of the sort was just half of this distance 250 miles. iHarroun's feat is still more remarkable because of the fact that he accom-

(Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, May SI. The Hammond A. A. team made its initial appearance before a small Indiana Harbor audience yesterday, and while the members of the team performed creditably they were unable to overcome the fierce onslaught of hits with which the Harbor batters bombarded their pitchers. Second Baseman Stallman
was the chief cannonader, making a home run, a two-bagger and two singles In four times at bat. Other sharpshooters who were content with picking off doubles were Faulkner, O'Brien and Immekus. Both teams fielded well, Rhode getting the only .error, although there were some petty misdemeanors on both sides which did not affect the result. Lugan started in to pitch for Hammond, but Fowler decided to replace him with Walker after three
hits, including one double, had been made oft of him in the third and two runs had been scored. The change made little difference to the" locals, however, as yesterday seemed to be their day for slugging, and Walker received even harsher treatment than his predecessor. The final score was 6 to 1 Harbor way. Score: INDIANA HARBOR.

JOHNSON MATCHED FOR BATTLE WITH BOMBARDIER WELLS
London, May 31. A fight for the heavyweight championship of the world has been arranged between Jack Johnson and "Bombardier" Wells, the claimant of the 'English title. The bout, a twenty round affair, will be staged by liugh Mcintosh in his new club here. It is expected to take place in the fall. Mcintosh refused to make pdblic the terms of the fight, but said Johnson had agreed to meet Wells and had expressed his willingness by cable during the past ten days. It is claimed by many of the experts here that Wells is not a first class fighter, but Mcintosh maintained today that the Englishman was in good condition and amply able to cope with the champion.
New York, May "31. Jack Johnson, the heavyweight champion, left New York ; today for Chicago. He is expected to return to New York by next Saturday night and will sail June 6 for England to fill theatrical engagements. Those who saw Johnson before he took the train for Chicago said he made no mention of his match with Wells. .
During their . stay at home the Brooklyn Dodgers played five errorless games 4n succession. In order to keep within the salary limit of the New England league Owner Jesse Burkett of the Worcester club turned the managerial duties over to John J. O'Donnell, secretary of the club. O'Donell then signed Burkett to play
; right field for $100 per month.
NAVY FIGHTER MEETS HARD TEST TONIGHT
Phil Schlossberg gets the big tryout as a light heavyweight tonight. The kingpin of the navy fighters is going to face Tim O'Neil, in the arena of the Hammond A. C. in a bout carded to go ten rounds and must win if he hopes to remain a factor in the recently revived division. It will be a severe test for the tar, but Manager Nate Lewis Is predicting in a confident tone that "Steamboat Phil" surely will make good. Lewis and his fighter are anxious to hand a defeat to O'Nell because Schlossberg wants to get on with Johnny Thompson and Sam Langford. And if O'Neil should happen to hand Phil a licking there will be no chance for the sailor to get on with any of the really good fighters. If condition counts for anything, Schlossberg certainly has the edge there. Not that O'Neil has been careless in his training at all, but the navy man has been working for six weeks and is in condition for this battle. Phil pays he will have no excuses to offer if the Irondale man .should happen to whale him. Schlossberg has trained daily at O'Connell's for weeks and is at his best right now. And if Phil shows as much as did the night he knocked all the fight out of Bill McKinnon he ought to finish a winner on the bit. O'Neil is big and tough, a hard man to stop, but is not a fast starter. Schlossberg probably has it on him in boxing skill and really looks the better of the pair in a half hour fight. But O'Neil packs a kick that will stop anybody his size, and if he should slip it over there will be woe among the boys on Unple Sam's battleships. There has been a lot of betting on this bout, which has stirred up interest all over Chicago. The steel workers at South Chicago are stringing their coin on O'Neil." while the fellows in the naval recruiting offices and stations are backing Schlossberg to the limit. ' Prospects are fine for a dandy crowd. Nate Lewis is taking a special train out to the Hoosier town tonight at 7 o'clock from the LaSalle street depot.
Pittsburg. Pa., May 31. Chicago's circuit girdling tourists les-t both games of yesterday's holiday bill and the leadership of the league which was theirs for a few hours. They mean to get . back the leadership and hope to get back the morning game which? was finished under protest by Manager Chance. The score of post-breakfast affair wal 1 to 0, and of the matinee function; 4 to 1. . , ...... . The manager's protest . against the morning defeat was based on the common law of horse, sense that a ball player cannot be called out by one umpire for obeying the orders of this umpire even when he knows said orders are wrong. If it does nothing else Chance's protest may help rid the game of farcical umpiring. The Cubs really had no chance to win the morning battle which was wholly a combat between Richie and Adams on the slab, and a swell combat too. They don't object to the defeat so much as to being made the goat when a pair of Justices of the supreme court differ in their interpretation of the law.
CUBS PROTEST GAME ON QUEER DECISION
The La Vendor Cigar is a home product. None better.
Pittsburg, Pa., May 31. The decision of Umpires Klem and Doyle, which may cist the Chicago club yesterday morning's game, reveals the fact that the umpire this year, in the National League at least, has become a more potent factor than any player on the field. The decision was a variation of, the one that Doyle gave against Pittsburg in a game with the Cincinnati last week, against which Pittsburg protested. In yesterday morning's game. In the eighth inning. Shean was at first base when Archer hit a fly ball to the third base side of second base. Wagner trapped the ball and tossed it to Miller on second, forcing Shean, and Millr threw to Hunter, trying to double Archer, ; who, however, beat the ba'l easily. Both Shean and Archer remained standing with their feet on first bate. Doyle ran up and called Archer out. He said: "You're out." , "I'm not out he's out," retorted
Archer, who knew the rules. "You're out he muffed the ball purposely," said Doyle. Klem Calls Both Out. Archer argued a moment longer ami turning, started for the bench. Mem. time Klem ran down to Doyle, who already had waved Clarke back, and told him that Archer was out. Klem held a conference with Doyle and explained the rules. At that intsant Wagner, running vp from short grabbed the ball out of Hunter's hands, ran nearly t'j the plate and touched out Archer, who was. going to the bench. Clarke held an argument with the umpires and Klem decided that both were out.
Try a LaVenaor cigar. It's good?
