Manager Klank appeased the cham pion by stating that today's and Wednesday's work would be of considerably lighter order and that not until the two bouts in Chicago on Friday and Saturday would anything in the way of the past few days' vigorous train ing work be attempted. Gotch's excellent condition was evidenced by the freshness with which he tackled each one of his three mat partners in turn and he appeared In good shape at the end of the hour's stunt. The whole Gotch camp Is anxious to get to Chicago, where, it is believed, that many who are now favoring Hackenschmidt will swing over to the champion after they have had a glimpse of his condition.

me louowing letter ha been re
ceived concerning the Whiting-Crown Point game last Sunday: Whiting, Ind., Aug. 28. Sporting Editor Times: I would like to inform you regarding the protest regarding the game at Crown Point Sunday between Whiting and Crown Point. In the eighth inning Crown Pont was at bat. two out, a man on first ease, a ball was hit to right field, the fielder caught the ball on the bounce, threw wild to third and into the crowd and both men scored. The man who hit stood on second and third base and had to be told to run home by Captain Eder. Crown Point claimed they were entitled to go as far as they liked. So to finish the game I told my club to finish the game on a protest and I claim the game 5 to 3. Umpire Klapper who officiated did not know the Crown. Point ground rules and he was not informed of them. He made a statement to Captain Eder that the ground rules were, the runner was entitled to an extra base on a wild throw at all the rest of the parks of the Northern Indiana circuit. Eder said he would not play the game to a finish if Umpire Klapper ruled to send the man back to the base, which looked very much of an amateur baseball game. He kept wrangling on this point to quit the game that the crowd began running in on the field and threatened me aird demanded Manager Keiser return their money if the game was not finished. So to satisfy the crowd I finished the game, letting the protest go before the board of direct ors. This looks very simple to solve as Lite uiuciui ruie uuuk si.ai.es in ruie i section 3, that any home club having ground rules shall inform the umpire This was not clone and Umpire Klapper was under the impression that the same rule that was enforced at the balance of the parks went at Crown Point, arid the blame lays at the feet of the Crown Point management. Hop ing this will be clear to you, I remain, Yours truly, F. L HELIX, Manager Whitjng B. B. C SOX FALL BEFORE CORVES OF PAPE Boston Pitcher Wabbles Only Once, Beating the Duffites, 4 to 1.

Not until the eighth inning yesterday did the White Sox have a chance in the second game of the series with the Red Sox, then Pape seemed to be wavering and Manager Duffy promptly rushed the land reserves to the front. Th move served to avert a shut-out, bu the rally feu short because a man named! Riggert posted himself square ly in the path of two hard drives to right, and the final count was 4 to 1. That boy Pape started out with t,he determination to do unto jus what Big Kd Walsh did unto xhrni the day before, but the upset his own good intentions by tangling up Carrigan on k. scratch hit in front of the plate in the second inning. For seven tnnigs ail the -White Sox had to show for their efforts was one real hit and the aforementioned scratch. In the same time the Red Hose had scored two runs off Jess Baker and one off Joe Hovllk, who went to the rescue of the fog ball with his spit ball in the midst of the fifth inning.

The Cubs revived yesterday and batted out a clean cut and decisive victory over the Phillies, 8 to 4, in a game of riot and disorder that was almost presented to them by forfeit twice because the Philadelphia police 'for a time refused to do their duty when the umpire ordered a disorderly person put out of the grand etand. At the time of the first uprising the Phillies were in the midst of a batting rally and had tied the score, it being the last half of the sixth inning. A rowdy fan sitting on the third base side of the grand stand had been in sulting the Chicago players personally all throwtfh the game and finally began a vicious and vulgar attack on Umpire Klem. n Seeing the thing had gone too far and that women in the stands were unable to avoid hearing the unruly person, Klem called "time" and walked over to the captain in charge of the force of officers in the park. The captain and two of his men sat almost under the rowdy one and heard all the talk without once attempting to stop it. When Klem asked the captain to have the man put out of the grounds he refused, declaring the umpire had no right to give such an order. BROWN DODGES ' AHEAVYWElfcT New York, Aug. 29.
