EAST CHICAGO AND IMP. HARBOR

EAST CHICAGO. Contractor Reed of Hammond has begun work on the new Methodist church at Baring and Chicago avenues. Ground was broken yesterday and a tool house built and every evidence of activity has been established. From now on the work will be rushed forwardly as rapidly as possible. Mr. Everett Williams spent yesterday in Chicago celebrating his brithday. Sina Evans who with her mother Is visiting in Providence, R. I., met with a painful accident last week. "While lying on a couch her foot caught in the

fringe and she was thrown to the floor, running her teeth through her lower lip. Basil Johnson of South Bend has secured a position as scale clerk at the Republic mill. Mrs. O. M. Foland of Barring avenue is quie sick with typhoid fever and baby Jack Is also suffering from an attack of cholera infantum. Mrs. J. R. Foland of Anderson, Ind., Mr. Foland's mother, is here assisting in looking after the patient. Mr. August Johnson is in Chicago today on business. Mr. uy Alyea will open his new five cent theater at 4936 Alexander avenue with a particularly good program next Saturday evening. A celebrated Behemian soloist has been secured for the . occasion. Moving pictures and caudeville will also be part of the attraction. Sporting Briefs The Grand Rapids team of the Central League has been transferred to Newark, Ohio. j It is said that the Cubs are trying to buy Downey from the Cincinnati club. Catcher Nunamaker, of the Boston Red Sox, is out of the game with a badly split finger. Mr. Franceto Sanguineta Pizola, otherwise "Ping" Bidie, continues to clout the ball and play a good game In the field for the White Sox. The National League race is a 120horse power "dingsnorter." Chicago, New York, St. Louis, Philadelphia and Pittsburg are nicely bunched and running strong. If Vin Campbell can get in condition he will be a great help to the Pittsburg team. Vin showed lots of class with the Pirates last season. Playing with a tall-end team doesn't seem to bother Bill Sweeney, of the Boston Rustlers. Bill is in the game all the time, and fighting until the last man is out. "King" Cole, of the Cubs, has shaved the top of his head to keep the hair from falling out. And he used to be a barber and sell bunk restorative to his customers. What a difference in the two St Louis teams this season! The Car dinals tire right on the job, while the Browns are down so low that they have nearly dropped out of the Ameri can League standing. WITH THE BOXERS, Matty Baldwin has received a noffer from a New York boxing club, to meet Matt Wells, the English champion. An effort is being made to match Jack O'Brien and Leo Houck for a bout to be held at a Philadelphia baseball park. Promoter Mcintosh, matching Bill Lang to meet Jack Johnson on Easter Monday, caused about as much noise as a whisper in a boiler factory. While taking hla morning run In preparation for his recent bout with Young Togo Harry Forbes got near the Oklahoma state penitentiary, where the guards, looking for escaped convicts, twice chased and detained him.

Everything Is in readiness for the thirty-ninth nual regatta of the National AssociSTNr tlon of Amateur Oarsmen, which is to be held here tomorrow and Friday.

The west will be better represented than ever before, while all of the eastrn citiH that go in for aquatic sports are sending their best crews and individual oarsmen. Saratoga Lake Is considered an ideal place for the nat'onal meet. The progamme provides for twelve events. A wide variation is offered and immense crowds are practically assured with fair weather conditions. All the races will bo rowed over a one-mile-and-a-Quarter straightaway course, starting at Point Breeze, with the finish at Moon'i Lake House. This will give the spectators a view of the whole course and finish.

The scores were 4 to 1 and 7 to 2 respectively. There were stretches in each game when the exhibition assumed a decidedly serious aspect, and when the visitors made the Cubs extend themselves jo the limit. There were other stretches which were wholly comic, and If Mr.

Frohman or Mr. Savage had been pres ent the diamond would have lost a couple or three performers and the stage would have gained as many comedians. Frank Schulte, with a home run in each game, stuck out above all the rest, because he smashed out both of his barrier clearing swats when the game was hanging ln the balance, and each of those drives did much to incline the scales in our favor. Nobody hit the ball any harder, however, than Heine Zlm did, particularly in the second game. His final soak in the merry eighth sounded like two cracks of doom exploding simultaneously. It was hit so hard that Heine could make only three bases on it because the outfielders met it coming back. RECORDS FALL AS PEORIAjACES END Red Top n. and Sand Burr II. Set Mark in Windup of Motor Boat Events. Peoria, 111., July 27. All American records for any class of motor boats in competition were smashed yesterday when Red Top III., owned by W. E. Hughes of Bellevue, Iowa, won the 25 miles free for all event in 42:11 minutes or at a rate of 35.66 miles an hour, Dixie III.'s tine in defending the American's trophy in the International races last fall being 34.03 miles per hour. World's records for twenty footers set up Tuesday by Sand Burr II., owned by White Bros, of Atlantic City, N. J., also went by the board when that boat won the 26 foot class event, trav-

v rr RXX TOP ! ellng 15 milea in 26:57 1-3 or at the The fast rate of 33.39 miles per hour. est lap of this race was done at a speed of 33.83 miles per hour, which time has never even been approached in recognized events in the world for 20 foot boats. Two thrilling accidents marred the free for all event. Disturber II., owned by James A. Pugh, of Chicago, after a greet burst of speed, sank in the river. Disturber II. led the free for all forty foot class in the first lap, covering five miles in the remarkable time of 7.58 minutes, or at the record making pace of 37.68 miles an hour. It was twenty-one seconds ahead of Red Top. with the field following until the third lap, when Red Top overtook Disturber II. in the back stretch. Disturber regained the lead in the next mile, but on the commencement of the fifth lap Red Top again took the lead amid wild excitement among thousands of spectators. At this point Disturber's steering gear tore loose, and it dashed up the course in long half circles, Eddie Hearne, the daring auto driver, steering it as best he could with his feet, lying on the after deck, risking his life in the effort to keep the boat on the course. In spite of this Sand Burr II. overtook it and Red Top III. passed o-er the line winner by a mile over T" Sand Burr II. and two miles over the crippled Chicago champion. Pugh was wildly cheered as hla boat crossed the line, but the crowd was horrified the next minute to see that it was sinking with its crew. A government patrol steamer and several launches rushed to the rescue, but It was too late, the 110.000 Fauber hydroplane sank into thirty feet of water. Pugh himself was- the last man to step from its bows into a launch as It sank beneath the waves, and today only a buoy on the river marks the location of the boat which traveled the fastest Ave miles the United States ever saw. Piloted by Walter Bleling of New York, Carl G. Fisher's crack forty footer Eph ran a hot bearing in the fourth and vas out of the race, Premier III. of Indianapolis finishing fourth.

- HE, good, and when it seemed that the Red j Sox didn t have a chance in the world . to be the victors, the Chicago defense blew into small bits and the game was ' handed to Boston. The final score was j S to 1, It was a tough battle to lose. Chi-j cago was always the chief aggressor, ' always threatening to break up the game and smother the Speed Boys, but every time some sharp fielding cut j them off in the midst of their rallies.! Third Baseman Gardner himself spoiled ( two of the chances by marvelous stops of ground balls. Captain Lord was the principal of fender when the Sox blew. He made both his errors in the same inning, and the two mistakes gave the Red Sox two of their three rusn. The other one , was legitimately earned. Once Lord made & wild and weird heave to first base to get .a man when the man had the ball beaten easily, and a few moments later, when that same man was trapped between third and home, the Sox captain arched a throw ten feet over the home plate to the grandstand, letting, that man score and the batter go third, from where he scored on a sacrifice fly that should have been the third- out.

Her speed showed a rate of 51.2 nautical miles, or 56.6 statute miles an hour. BRONSON STOPS EDDIE WEBER Indianapolis, Ind., July 27.

C, repeat his Indianapolis and Kalamazoo triumphs yesterday In the Furniture Manufacturers flO.000 stake for 2:12 j trotters. It was the third big stake race he has won in as many weeks.
