BALKED THE BURGLAR The man with his coat collar turned up and his derby pitched down over his eyes who was slouching along in the shadow of the building suddenly beckoned to the man on the other side of the street. "Here's an easy one, Pete," he growled hoarsely. "Where's an easy one?" snarled Pete. "This here house. It's like taking gum from a stenographer that's flxin' her hair. Some chump has gone eaway an left his latch key in this door." Peter took a swift look at the house and began to back up. "You can -go to It," he said. "I don't want to butt In on It." "Are youse nutty?" "Naw, I ai't nutty. But de feller wot lives dere Is a low down sneak widout no feelin' fer nobody, an' I don't want nothin' ter do with '1m. No, I game.

Old Cy Young, carrying the burden of his twenty-three summers of big league baseball, was the feature of the pastime at the west side park yesterday. He was on the slab for Boston against the retreating Cubs, and, though his effort was admirable, he was downed by a score of 6 to 5, the Cubs slipping over the winning run in the last of the ninth when it seemed the game would end a tie because of darkness. With the hope for another pennant now dead, the fans gave their support yesterday to the veteran pitcher, so that It sounded like a Boston crowd. Everyone was rooting for old Cy. Every one, however, didn't mean much of a gathering, for the early morning rain and the threatening afternoon clouds kept the attendance down to the smallest crowd of the year at the west side. A double-header was on the day's bill, but the grounds were so wet it was impossible to prepare them for service in time to start the pastimlng at 1:30. Consequently the first game of the double-header was postponed short ly after noon and the second game was started at the regular time of 3 o'clock. Large placards hung over the windows of the box offices, carefully informing the patrons that only one game would be played, so no one on this occasion spent money expecting to get a bargain. FREDDIE WALSH TO APPEAR III GARY Freddie Welsh, who is to meet Champlon Ad Wolgast for the lightweight title at Los Angeles on Thanksgiving day, reached Chicago yesterday and was at once signed up by Matchmaker Message for a six round go. to be held October 20, at Gary. Welsh's opponent was not chosen when the little Englishman agreed to the match, but It is intended to select one of the best of the local lightweight division to act as the other principal. Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, and recent conqueror of Carl Morris, reached Chicago from New York yesterday with nothing more than a blue eye to show that he had eliminated the most promising, of the "white hopes" from Johnson's path. James, who is on his way to Pueblo, was accompanied by his brother when he reached O'Connell's. "There isn't any doubt that I gave Morris a hard beating," said Jim, "but I had to do it to win. He's the gamest man I ever laid eyes on and threatened to kill any man in his corner that threw up the sponge. Referee White wanted to stop the bout, but Morris wouldn't stand for it." George Memslc started active training for his bout with Eddie Murphy at Gary on October 6 at O'Connell's yesterday. The former Chicago scrapper looked a trifle heavy, but otherwise In excellent shape. He declares he will have no trouble In making the 135 pounds at 3 o'clock as stipulated. Memslc worked with the pulleys and weights and boxed four rounds with Ernie Zanders and Special Delivery Hlrsch. LONDON BOUT DOOMED London, Sept. 26. Home Secretary Churchill ruled today that the contem plated match between Jack Johnson and Bombardier Wells is illegal and that if the principals do not abandon the match of their own free will the authorities would take Immediate steps to stop it. The action of the home secretary came through a demand of the clergymen of England, who had taken the matter ,ef the fight into their hands and demanded that it be stopped. The home secretary declared that if the contest were not abandoned he would apply to the Bow street court for a summons against the promoters to show cause why they should not be arrested for breaking the peace. The proposed meeting between Johnson and Wells, set for today, to decide on the referee question, did not take place and was postponed until the more serious matter of the action of the authorities could b sifted. It is the fear of the Influence of a black victory on Great Britain's colored subjects that weighs most with the authorities. THE TIMES ALWAYS HAS FOUGHT FOR "HE INTERESTS OF THE COM-

The White Sox played awful baseball yesterday, each of them contributing something in the way of boot or bone play to their defeat by a score of 7 to 3 at the hands of the Yankees, a defeat that knocked them away from the .500 mark and out of fifth place. In the hope of climbing above the .500 barrier once more this season Manager Duffy changed his plans and asked Jim Scott to pitch Instead of saving him for the final game here. Manager Hugh's first guess would have been better, for It were wiser to use recruit pitchers on a game that could not be won rather than stack Scott up against the kind of ball the White Sox played after a Saturday night and Sunday looking at the bright lights of the great white way. From the time Daniels tapped the first ball pitched past Mclntyre for a scratch home run there was no doubt whose game It was going to be. The Yankees, although shot to pieces and playing bad baseball themselves, were vastly superior to the visitors and there were times during the fray when former "Chlcagoans who have exiled them selves to the upper west side of New York, where the. American league park is, wondered If they were back In Chicago basking In the aroma of the stock yards. MORRIS WANTS RETURN BOUT New York, Sept. 26. Carl Morris, undaunted by his recent defeat at the hands of Jim Flynn, has declared his Intention of sticking around here for a while. His manager, B. F. Ufer, has j returned to Oklahoma, but Carl has j rented a fiat up In Harlem and will j start training with several of the local " heavyweights for a few months, and. j after getting some idea of the finer points of the game, will get on another match -with the Pueblo fireman. "Flynn hs one man t know I can beat." sava the giant from Sapulpa, "and next time I start I'm going to show the people that I'm not a failure, even if I did lose to a man who knew ten times as much about the game as I did. There's one man I want to fight, and that's Flynn, and when I'm read I'll go after him again." BURMAN SETS A WORLD'S RECORD Detroit, Sept. 26. Driving his 110 horse power Benz car.
