the fans and ball players to Crown Point tomorrow. The train will leave the Pennsylvania depot at Michigan at 12:30, arriving in Crown Point about an hour later. The time for the return will be announced on the train going down. From all indications a large crowd will accompany the players, and

last situation on both East Chicago and Indiana Harbor winning. The last time

Brooklyn, N. T., July 13. A wee bit
of rain kept the Cubs from victory or
defeat yesterday afternoon and gave
them a day's rest In advance of their
soft series with the tailenders. There was not enough rain to drive even the
angle worms to shelter either on the shores of Gowanus or on the banks of
the Harlem, but both local games were
called off.
What little rain fell came Just at the right time to keep the fans away.
and when there is a drought in the
box office it takes only a wee bit of rain to make the grounds too wet to play. Chance and his men were really
disappointed. They don't like losing
games the way they lost yesterday, and had their dander up to get even with
the Infants.
Although the weather was threat
ening as early as lunch time, and the
Brooklyn club is know to need only a dash of rain to postpone a midweek game, the Cubs made the long Journey
to Brooklyn instead of waiting until
the scrap was called oft by telephone.
A few of them took a bit of practice before packing up their belongings and
bringing them away.

PLANS HORSE
AND AUTO RACE Portland, Oregon, July 15. W. G. Grant of New York City is here making route and plans for a race between
autonfobiles and coaching horses. FIf- j ty thousand , dollars. subscribed, by!
wealthy horse fanciers, hinges on the novel speed test. Grant is confident that the horses will win. The course laid out Is from New York City to San Francisco. If the animals arrive at their destination In good condition the drive will be continued to Portland and Seattle. Grant plans to utilize 100 horses in relays of from twenty to thirty miles apart. As soon as one four has been driven its allotted distance it will be shipped ahead to be hooked on again two days later.
test. McFarland already has accepted the Milwaukee club's terms. Andrews has sent articles to the Briton's manager, McDonald, In New York. McDonald is coming west in a few days, and probably will bring the papers with him, signed. So it looks as if the match is a certainty. J
FORMER CUB IS PROMOTED Danville, 111.. July 15. Shortstop Fisher of the Danville Three I club was sold today to the Newark club of the Eastern league. The price received is said to be $1,000. Shortstop Qulnlan, recently released by the Cincinnati Rods, will fill the position. Fisher was with the Chicago Cubs this spring.
Yesterday's Results. Boston, 2; Chicago, 0. Detroit, 6; Philadelphia, 1. Cleveland, 4; Washington, 1. St. Louis, 4; New York, 3. Games Today. Washington at Chicago. Philadelphia at St. Louis. Boston at Detroit. New York at Cleveland. Nearly everything the White Sox
tried to do yesterday went amiss, and
the Boston Speed Boys won the last
game of the series, 2 to 0, thereby crowding the south slders back into fifth place In the race. The Speed Boys should have won by a much more decisive count, for they hit the ball hard and often and ran the bases with care
less freedom, but failed to take ad
vantage of their opportunities. How
ever, two runs are as good as ten when they win.
Doc White was on the slab for Chicago for his second time against Boston, but he wasn't in repeating form, and eleven hits were made off him.
The Chicago infield, too, seemed badly mixed on signals, and failure to cover
second allowed the visitors to run the
bases. However, these mistakes didn't
figure in the scoring, and only three of the base hits helped Boston to the
two runs. Larry Pape, who slabbed for the visitors, also was out for his second game of the series, having also won one on the opening day. He was in better form than before and held the Sox sluggers to four safe swats that were so widely scattered they did no good. Pape had luck on his side in several Instances when remarkable fielding helped him out of bad places.
SEEK B. B. NEWS VIAWIRELESS San Francisco, July 15. "What is
the standing of the clubs of the National and American leagues," was the first question of inhabitants of the Pribiloff islands when they gained, close touch with the outside world for the first -time through the new naval, wireless station. When the operator) tuned up his Instrument he asked, 1 "What news do you fellows want?" I
"All the baseball news you can get," the islanders answered in chorus. After sending the club standings the
Honolulu operator attempted to send
news of the coronation of King George. "Ditch that," exclaimed one. "Ask him for Cobb's batting average and all about Eddie Collins, Honus Wagner and Red Dooin. The coronation can wait."

The numerous applications from out of town swimmers for entry blanks Indicate that the number of contestants will set a record for the swimming Derby.
ET TU, BRUTE.
Boston, July 16. Boston's reputation as a fair baseball city for visiting players and umpires received a black eye in yesterday's game between St. Louis "and the Forlorn Hopes. A gathering of unsportsmanlike sports sitting back third base did not agreo with Umpire Johnstone's decisions declaring Pat Flaherty's hit over the fence in the eighth inning a foul ball, and two of these hurled pop bottles at the umpire. Fortunately. the throws were bad, and no damagewas done. However, when the game was over Johnstone walked to the dressing room alley, followed by a Jeering mob of kids, urged on by the third base "sports." When Umpire Johnstone took the car a big mob of boys, yelling and hooting, ran along side, but no assault occurred.
