for First Papke "Battle Thunderbolt Cables Paris, Fight Will Prevent Him Boxing Near Here July 4

Promoters with boxing clubs In the vicinity of Chicago are having' a fine little scramble to land the first match In which Bill Papke engages after his return from abroad. Milwaukee wants the Thunderbolt, Gary is after him, and matchmakers for clubs at Kenosha and other places also are In the hunt. It looks as If Papke will be the big plum In the matchmaking line when he gets home, for Jack Johnson has gone away from here and there is nobody, of consequence for him to figh anyway. So Papke. by virtue of his defeats of the Australian and English champions, has become the big drawing card. When fee gets oft the boat in New York there will be dozens of promoters and matchmakers In wait for him with sets of articles and flattering offers. And if Bill nanages himself as well as he fights he tight to Vaw down a big bunch of oin In his next start in America. The hope that Rapke could battle lear Chicago with Thompson or Kelly m July 4 has gone a-glimmerlng, for he Thunderbolt has cabled Chicago iromoters that he will 'fight Marcel Moeau in France within the next two reeks. That will prevent his getting ere to box on Independence dy. But 'apke will be in the United States In

Scramble

time to do battle late in July or early in August, and it is for such a date that the clubs are after him. In the meantime the matchmakers are busy arranging cards for July 4 with Papke left out of consideration. Gary is thinking of putting on Johnny Thompson and George Knockout Brown. That pair would furnish a wild battle and ought to draw loads of fans. Hugo Kelly and Phil Schlossberg form another probability in the matchmaking line, and may sign up If Schlossberg will do a fair weight for Kelly. Kelly and McGoorty also are being considered. Thompson was offered either McGoorty or Jimmy Gardner, but says he don't htlnk they will draw as well as Greek Brown. CLARKE CUBS WIN.

He flourished it with command yesterday and the White Sox shut out the Senators by a score of 4 to 0. But Doc doesn't deserve all the credit for his teammates put up as clean and sparkling a defensive game as they have shown this year, at the same time hitting the ball with their usual precision. Rollie Zeider wasHhe principal cog inthe defensive machine while McIntyre. Iord, Callahan, Bodie and Mullen manufactured the runs by timely hittirw and splendid base running. Zeider had four assists at short and not one of them was easy. His best play came in the sixth inning when two Senators were racing home with runs that would have tied the 'score as "Wid" Conroy laced a hot one between Lord and Zeider. It seemed a sure base hit, but Rollie skidded over behind third, scooped the ball, and heaved it in a rainbow to Mullen just in time to get the runner by a step. Up to that time Washington was playing threatening ball all the time, but after that play they gave up and the Sox hammered home two more runs in the ninth inning for good measure.

Provincialism is a business crime in this day and generation. The man who goes after business off the street, on which his place is located, is the man who wins. The most successful men in the Calumet region are the business men who would not think of doing business without advertising in THE TIMES. They go after business and get it. Their field is wide. - The circulation of THE TIMES is over two times larger than all the other papers, daily and weekly, in all the cities and towns of the Calumet region put together.

Magnificent defensive work behind Ed Reulbach and his own steady slabbing in the pinches enabled the Cubs to grab the third game of their -series with Boston by the narrow margin of 6 to 5 yesterday, and thereby establish themselves in first place once more. J. Tecumseh Sheckard, J. Faversham Tinker, J .Prince Archer, and J. Newcomer Doyle were some of the Cubs who helped Reulbach with brilliant defensive work. Their work would have gone for nothing if the Cubs had not taken full advantage of all the breaks in their favor, and in this the stick work of Schulte. Zimmy and Sheckard was prominent. Not until the last half of tne ninth was the game decided, and not until it looked a cinch it would go into extra innings. The ex-Cubs, still deprived of the services of J. Goodcatcher Kling, made a real contest out of it all the way and if there had been anybody but Buster Brown, world's champion hardluck flinger, on the slab, they might have made it altogether too interesting. The Cubs were forced to extend themselves to accomplish their end, and in every way the battle was in glorious contrast to the complete rout of the day before.

JOHNSON WILL FIGHT BOB DO DUBLIN Champion Enters London in Triumph, Throngs Giving Him an -Ovation.

London, June 13. Jack Johnson, heavyweight champion of the world, entered Paddington Station, London, triumphantly last night, the vast throngs shouting their welcome to "Massa John." The police were utterly unprepared for any such demonstration as greeted the American negro. Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, who was at the station meeting relatives. was caught in the mob and almost knocked down, but was finally rescued from the crush. Johnson bowed his acknowledgments repeatedly and, lugging a gramophone funnel as thought it were a precious possession, shouldered his way through the mob to an automobile, followed by his wife. The diamonds displayed by the pugilist and his wife created a sen sation. Johnson was cautious, how ever, to put his hand over a big solitaire fastened in his shirt front. The pugilist wore a golden brown suit, with gloves and tie to match, and shining patent leather shoes. The couple was driven to a fiat in Shaftsbury avenue. -Johnson opens at Oxford Music hall June 25, and will go to Ireland for a big exhibiti6n during the Dublin hoise show. He will stay in England until his fight with Bob Day, a Canadian, is arranged for Dublin. Johnson demands that he be given $30,000 and a side bet of $10,000. At Plymouth, where Johnson landed, is a'naval base, with fortresses and five battleships. Many of the sailors and marines had a half day's leave to see the champion. The pier swarmed with uniforms and the men roundly cheered Johnson, who wonthem all by his famous golden smile. He shook hands with many of the clamourous admirers all along the route. He Was greeted by acclamation In Devonshire, Somersetshire and Oxfordshire dialects. Johnson keenly realized his welcome. After tea on the train with his wife Johnson talked about Lord Lonsdale with the reporters. Johnson refused to countenance negotiations for an audidience with King George, even to boost a vaudeville tour. "If I meet the king," said the fighter, "It will be because he wants me to, and my friend, the earl of Lonsdale, arranges it." Johnson is accompanied by Pat Flan-

NO MORE RACING OflJRT TRACKS Chicago Motor Club to Aid! City. Officials in Preventing Future Events. The .death knell of motor car racing' over dirt tracks in the vicinity of Chicago was sounded yesterday when officials of the Chicago Motor club promised to co-operate with Coroner Hoffman in preventing such contests in the future. The decision to place dirt track racing under the ban followed an exhaustive investigation by the coroner's jury In the circumstances that led to the death of Marcel Basle, who was killed in the first event on Saturday's race card at Hawthorne track. ! While the testimony of nine or ten witnesses at the inquest developed the fact that Basle's death was due to inexperience in handling a machine of too narrow tread on a dirt track and not to any carelessness on the part of officials in charge of the meet, it was decided the surer way of preventing similar accidents would be to prohibit them in the future. The recent track meet was run by Homer C. George as a private enterprise, and, while certain officials of the Chicago Motor club assisted in handling the events, the organization had nothing whatever to do with the promotion of the contests. KLING STILL HOLDOUT; CONFABS WITHRUSSELL John Kling, center piece of the big deal between the Chicago and Boston clubs, was at the game yesterday, but not In uniform. Instead he sat beside President Russell during the game and the two talked over their differences. At the conclusion of the conference Kling still was inclined to think his

o

V St. Gary, Indiana baseball days were over and that he would go to Kansas City today. Neither the Boston officials nor the catcher would discuss their differences for publication, but from Kling's friends with whom he has talked it was learned that . the drop from a team which has a chance for the world's pennant to one that is hopelessly second division - had as muoh to do with his determination to quit as any financial consideration. That he would reconsider, if the Boston club would make partial amends for Kling's loss of a chance to cut in on a post-season series,' either world's or city, is believed by hi former associates. CUBS WILL MISS KLING, SAYS M'GRAW Cincinnati," June 13. Although the Giants slipped from first place yesterday "Muggsy" McGraw believes his squad is a certain pennant winner and bates his facts on the trade the Cubs put through with Boston". "Only those on the inside know what a valuable man Kllng is." said McGraw. "Kven if he isn't as fast as he was in his younger days, his knowledge and his ability to break up the attack of the opponents will be a blow to Chicago. Now that Kling is away from the Cubs I think the foe 1 really feared will be weakened. I will be satisfied if we return home a few games out of first place, and then watch how we pull away from the others." , GAME CALLED OFF. The Wabash Colts supposed to play the Oakley Juniors last Sunday on the , north side grounds' at 2:20. And last Saturday night they came down and. said the game is called off. On account they got a game with Hessvllle. Next Sunday the Wabash Colts cross bats with the Roby Athletics from South Chicago on their grounds. Last year the Colts broke out even with the Athletics, winning two out of four. COLEMAN LARRUPS YOUNG JOHNSON Memphis, Tenn., June 13.
