TWO KILLED BY TRAIN.

Clarece " King, age twenty-six, and Herbert Gould, age twenty-eight, were killed last night by a Pennsylvania express train while, crossing the tracks near the station at Centeryille. The accident occurred about 8 olock, but the bodies of the men were not found until midnight, when a track walker discovered them. King and Gould had been in the station and had started to their homes. As they left the station a freight train was approaching from the east and they waited until it passed, probably stepping directly in front of the express train that was east-bound.

The Hammond bowling five, despite Its non-acquaintance with the alleys in the Rational bowling tournament in Chicago, picked off Its first match yesterday and rolled in grand form. The work of the players in the minor events confirmed the opinion formed formed from the opening play on Saturday that the drives are in', grand shape and big scores are predicted before the tournament is many days old. Some of the teams rolled as low as

2,375. The best games were as lows: Five-Men Event.

CUBS REACH CAMP NEW ORLEANS

New Orleans, La., March 4. The Cubs landed at the station here at 9 o'clock-last night and went to bed. They will get up again in the morning. Special effort was put forth by the Illinois Central to dock the athletes on time. At Memphis yesterday morning the rattler was two hours late. The master mechanic of the road, wearing a pair of Mexican spurs, climbed'' into the cab and spiked the engineer until he made up one and a half hours between Memphis and New Orleans. Great work, believe us. Three kinds of climate mixed itself into the scenery en route. Snow and cold chased the party half the night, then we had rain and sleet for a change. On the last lap the sun broke loose in spots and gave the pilgrims a foretaste of what to expect for the

training. work. Bob . Carmichael, Chicago passenger agent of the Illinois Central, came along to guard the welfare of the Cubs. He provided two coaches and a special: parlor ; car that was built by Tiffany. The interior blazed with cut glass effects, and Carmichael was tireless In his efforts to entertain and amuse." Throughout the trip the passenger agent left no rock unturned to

add to, the gayety of the occasion. Day

andnight were all alike to the genial Robert. 1

But a single mishap marred the

journey. Tom Needham went to leep

with one foot on a hot steam pipe be

low his berth. Three of Tom's bunions

popped with loud reports and Doc Sem

mens was obliged to arise in the night

and administer first aid.

WHITE SOX PLAY; WHITES DEFEAT BLUES, 5-1 t Pitcher Peters Is Sensation of Day, Holding Losers Hitless for 5 Innings.

"Waco, Tex., March 4. The "White Sox played their first game of the season yesterday. The "White Sox won". The White Sox also lost. The game was a battle between two teams of Sox and you couldn't say that one was the regular outfit and the other the seconds. They were divided somewhat promlscously. One bunch, headed by Manager Callahan, wore the white home uniforms. The other appeared in the traveling costumes of blue. The whites won the encounter, 5 to 1. There were still signs of rain when the athletes awoke yesterday morning. But the drizzle ceased in the afternoon and Manager Callahan ordered his charges to dress for business at 1 o'clock. Anxious inmates of Waco kept the hotel phone busy with inquiries as to whether there would be a pastime or not. They were told that the game would go on as advertised. There was a pretty good crowd pres

ent when Umpire Harry Lord called Play ball." The game was not much artistically. That couldn't be expected, for most of the participants were working for the first time this season. However, there were features and performances that couldn't but impress the onlooker. Otto Casper Peters, who pitched the first five innings for Cal's team, was one of these impressive things. Noth

ing like a hit was made off him by the ! mighty Blue army. His support was,

shaky in spots, but that fact didn't appear to worry him one whit.

WHY UMP DIDN'T SEE

Cracked on Ear by aBtter as

Runner Slides Home.

Outfielder Kaiser, who began the

1911 season with the Colonels and finished with the Boston Nationals, had some lively experiences during his first

season -in the fast company.

jick .Miner or ine pirates, says Kaiser, "was on third in the ninth, with two down and Hendrix. the young pitcher of the Plttsburgs, was at bat

with a fine chance to deliver a base hit,

not. The desperate Pirates resolved on sending Miller home, as the only chance they had, and signaled him to rush in. On he came with the pitch, and Hendrix, who never had to face a situation before, didn't know what on earth to

do. Finally he backed clumsily and heavily away from the plate and as he retreated the end of his bat took Umpire Johnstone full under the ear. The blow keeled Johnstone over and he never saw.Kling, fully six feet from the plate, tag the runner. Johnstone, of course, called Miller safe. That beat us."

land. Manager Fred Clarke was given

a special welcome.

KEEPING WINNERS. (Special to The Timx) Whiting, Ind., March 4. The Owls'

basketball team, the Lake county cham

,The Yankees and the Browns want a catcher, but neither could see Charlie Schmidt of the Tigers. Up in Cleveland they seldom mention Jake Daubert's name. That's because the Naps once owned htm and turned him back to the minor leagues.

NELSON PULLS D0WN $2,200 Fort Smith, Ark., March 4. Battling Nelson's recent visit to Fort Smith, during which he used "Young" Togo for a punching bag for six rounds, proved that, while Nelson may be going back as a "pug," he is not losing any of his well known financial ability. He pulled down 2,200 for his brief appearance in the ring. It was one of the easiest fights he ever had, although the ability of the Jap to take punishment prevented Bat from winning some local glory by putting the little fellow to sleep. The receipts totaled J4.600.

can get Witman to confine his league to the east. "Don't think the Columbian league is

dead simply because we have not been making much noise lately," said Nlesen before his departure. "We are strong

er now than at any time since we started our organization. We'll be playing ball In two months and it will

be high-class ball."
