py game, displaying a superior team la

general. The East Chicago Methodists are a newly organised team, while their opponents are & bunch of old-timers at the game. Another game Is being arranged for next Tuesday, when the E. C. 11. five hope to turn the trick. One of the iAke county teams that has not been brought Into the limelight so far is the Hobart aggregation. It is said that they have a strong quintet and may possibly loom up Svs a dark horse. They have a five of all star men and promise to do things before the season closes. . Whafs the matter with the Gary city championship series that started some weeks ago? Only one game has been played so fir and if they don't arrange a schedule pretty soon we fear we will not be able to find out who is the best. , Hammond is preparing itself for the game with the Hull House quintet in CfiTcago next Saturday m'E-ht anri some hard practice work is being done. They expect a hard game, as the Hull House team Is reported as being one of the best in the city league. the Maurer sisters furnished, but many expressed themselves as never having heard it excelled in Its line. The club wishes to express its gratification to the public for its generous patronage of this series of entertainments, for it Is to them that we owe any financial success that may be made. The Epworth League of the Methodist church, Indiana Harbor, having lately reorganized, has been doing some splendid work. Four interesting meetings have already been held this last month.

After discussing the" topics of the evening a program is renderedTconsistlng of vocal and Instrumental music, readings and talks. There is another department which proves quite interesting; namely, the social department. On Thursday evening, Jan. 12, the Epworth League, under the supervision of Miss Maude Scott, chairman of the social department, held a social 1 basement. A very pleasant evening was spent playing games and singing songs. Light refreshments were served. These socials. It is Intended, will be given at least once a month.

CHANCE WRITES HE'LL' PLAY FIRST, CUBS MAY CUT OUT WEST BADEH

One more of Mr. Chance's rH-als for the position of first base on the Cub team was cut off the list yesterday. William Bransfield, alias "Kitty,- was sold to Billy Grayson's Louisville club, where he will have the job of regular first sacker. The sale of Bransfield followed another letter from the P. L in which ha assured President Murphy that he would be able to play himself. He said he had not suffered a pain in his head for over five weeks and that he was sure he had entirely recovered from the effects of George Suggs' blow. Myron Grimshaw, former big leaguer, has been playing first at Louisville. The chances are he will be moved to the outfield to make room for Bransfield.. "Kitty" can still hit the ball and Billy Grayson Is strong for sluggers. In Chance's letter was also contained a request that West Baden be cut off the Cubs' visiting list. The manager wants more time at New Orleans than the present schedule calls for. For one thing, several of ; the Cubs are already In the south, "and

CURLEY

GOING

TO COAST TO SEE COFi FROTH Switch in Site for Big Go May Result; Frisco May Get Battle. San Francisco, Cal., Jan. 31. Jack Curley, manager of Jim Flynn, will be in San Francisco the latter part of the week. !Curley intimates in a wire to Promoter Coflroth that the visit will be in regard to the Johnson-Flynn match, which Curley' at first thought could be staged in Nevada. At present there is good reason for believing that Flynn's manager is in doubt as to which state will furnish a baUle ground for the. world's champion and his challenger. For fear any one should think Cur'ey's hopes of DUttlnsr the nasrrn nr1 the white man in the ring are 'fading away, Curley sends word that he is ! going through" with the venture. So few days will pass before Curley is here in the flesh to give his reasons for upholding the Johnson-Flvnn event a a legitimate sporting happening that i would be as well to wait and hear what he has to say. There will be lots of time to pull his arguments to pieces later, if they are weak and nonconvincJ.ng. This much may be said, however. If Curley has it In him to sweeten the Johnson-Flynn proposition in the eves of San FranciKco patrons of the srlove ,?ame he should be hailed as the silvertongued orator of the soortinir belt. It lis said that the public very, very fre-

would be excused from the West Baden trip anyhow. ' , N It always rains four days out of every week at the Indiana resort in the spring. and there isn't much chance for practice. President Murphy is perfectly willing to listen to Chance's requests ' In -matters like- this, so West Baden will probably be cut out. If It Is, the Cubs who are spending the winter in the north will gather here and leave for Kw Orleans the second day of March. They will be met there y Chance himself, who will go thither from his ranch at Glendora, Cal., and Richie, Archer, Sheckard, Lavender ami other west siders who are in Florida and other southern points at present. The team will have about two weeks in New Orleans, and that ought to be enough to put them in good shape for the games booked on the way north. IK regard to the proposed trade with Boston, Chance wired that he would prefer to have Manager Kllng make him a proposition. The Cubs would be glad to get Southpaw Tyler, but the Glooms may want too much for him.

quently dislikes a match when It is first mooted and warms up to It In good shape later. So far, however, there is no sign of a change of sentiment towards Johnson and Flynn. The affair was regarded as a Joke when it -was first suggested and a JoWe It is still considered, f At that there is something to be said in Flynn's favor. His matches with "White Hope" Morris and big Williams - in Toronto-. proved conclusively that the fireman has made great strides in his profession. He has improved, but It will be difficult to make the general run of sporting men believe that the improvement is vast enough to warranj Flynn being sent against the conqueror of Jeffries. 'GOORTY, ONE HAND BROKEN, WINS FIGHT Oshkosh Stars Beats Walter Coffey as Far as One Shoot a Rifle. New York, Jan. 31. Kquipped only with 'a large circular left-hand swing, his right being broken, petrified, cocalned or otherwise out of rnmmfsainn Kddle McGoorty of Oshkosh. Wis., hnt Walter Coffey of San Francisco last night at the Fairmont A. C. about as far as you can shoot a rifle. It was claimed McGoorty broke his right hand early In the fight. If he can de as well with that as he did with the left he should furnish a great twohanded exhibition. It. was announced that Coffey weighed 155 and McGoorty 167. The latter looked the heavier. Coffey seemed afraid to lead and overlooked many chances. , McGoorty had a goodlf ad in the first, second, third, fourth and fifth " - "I ku u iue Bevenm

YES, AND REAL MONEY, TOO. Whiting, Ind., Jan. 31. Sporting Editor, Times: An article or two In your papers the last week relative basketball reads me to write this letter regarding the championship of Lake county. At the present time we claim to hold the championship of Lake county, having beaten three of the teams therefrom and have repeatedly challenged them all. When writing up championship standings It would be well to put the Whiting Owls on the top, and I might add a little further that to make this good, we will play any basketball team in Lake county for the championship and a side bet of $50 If desired. It doesn't seem square for some of these so-called apeed boys to make a big- splash in the papers and not show the goods. We are there and claim the championship for this season, and If any of the teams wish to dispute this statement, kindly have them correspond with the undersigned. The above offer stands good for immediate acceptance. Tours very truly, A. L. CARLSON, Manager Whiting Owls. McGoorty landed ten times before he got a. reply. Toward the end of the bout Coffey was tipped to McGoortys broken wing, but the swinging kept him busy until the finish. ' McGoorty stood off all his rallies like a master boxer and finished without a mark on him. NO "BIG 4" GAME ON NAVY FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Annapolis, Md., Jan. 31.

O'ROURKE WILL BET $5,000 ON AL PATTER New York, Jan. M. Tom 0Rourke. manager of Al Palzer, considered by some a "white hope." announced here this afternoon that he will bet Jack Johnson 15,000 that PoJzer can "whip Jim Flynn In jig time." O'Rourke hopes that this bet will stimulate a bout to eliminate Flynn and 'bring about a match between Johnson and Palser. The proposal Is in the nature of a reply-to Johnson's recent offer of 12 oof) a round on Palxer for every round over three that he can stand up before the champion. -Johnson said last night , that If O'Rourke would post the $5,000 with any newspaper or bank he would"cover it Instantly. Jack thinks O'Rourke Is bluffing, however. "O'Rourke Is like Brady and Corbett. a bluffer," said Jack. "That $6,000 Is stage money. He does not dare to put It up." ! .
