But it is hard to keep a stove nice and shiny unless Black Silk Stove Polish is used. Here is the reason: Black Silk Stove Polish sticks right to the iron. It doesn't rub off or dust off. Its shine lasts four times longer than the shine of any other polish. You only need to polish onefourth as often, yet your stove will be cleaner, brighter and better looking than It has been since you first bought it.

FAST BASKET BALL GAME PROMISED Owls of Whiting and Lederers of Hammond to Meet at East Chicago. What will likely be the last and one of the fastest basketball games of the season win ce piayea ai ine il.hsi inicago Coliseum rink Thursday night, when the Dave Lederers and the Whiting Owls will line up In their second struggle. Because of the rivalry between the two squads a fast and hard fought game is expected and if Hammond wins from the Owls there will be a tie for championship honors, as Whiting were the victors In the first game. Hobart having defeated the Owls a week ago Saturday night, lay a claim to the county championship, but the Lederers of Hammond will not credit the Hobart squad with this as they have yet to line up against Hammond. On several occasions Hammond has tried to get a game with the Hobart aggregation, but to far they have refused to give them a date. They are now trying to arrange a game If -the Hobart quintet will come across. MURPHY AGREED TO LOSE, THEN WIN 15,000 WRITES RITCHIE Emil ThirV ReCeiveS Letter. j Divulging Details of Al1 leged Double -Cross. That Harlem Tommy Murphy, through Manager Buckley, agreed to "flop" for Abe Attell in their recent fight on the coast, then double-crossed the former feather champ, is the statement of Willie Ritchie in a letter to his manager, Emil Thiry. Ritchie is about as clean and square a fellow as they make them In the boxing line, and his word should go a long way. From the way the letter reads. Willie knows whereof he speaks. It goes something like this. "Buckley and Murphy sure doublecrossed Attell In their fight here. Buckley agreed to have Murphy lose on a foul. Then he wagered a big chunk of money on Murphy and sent him out to win. Another man here in San Francisco that I know won thousands on the fight. Attell, falling for the trickery, made one bet of $2,000 on himself.' Most of the boxing ollowers here know about the double-cross and it has done the game no good. Attell took an awful beating and Buckley and Murphy got the money." ' Buckley, when ln Chicago the other day, told Thlry that he cleaned up about $15,000 on the fight. CINCINNATI FIGHT LID DESCENDING Cincinnati, March 19. Willie Purcell, champion of the Cincinnati gym, worfi the popular decision over Oliver Kirk of St. Ixuis in a ten-round bout last night. The bout probably will be the last boxing match in Cincinnati f or some time. Mayor Hunt, announced today that he would not allow any more professional boxing, inasmuch as attempts were being made to abuse his announcement that he would permit athletic clubs to sttfgre bouts. ERNE BEATEN BY M'CARRON Philadelphia, Pa., March 19. The feature of last night's bouts at the American Athletic club was the wlndup between Ralph Erne and Jack McCarron. At their last meeting the referee stopped the. fight because Erne was all in. Erne made a game try to redeem himself last night, but was outclassed by McCarron, whose vicious body punches and left hooks to the face wore Erne out. McCarron was an easy win- ' ner all the way.

O'COIELL WINS CASE: BOXING REVIVAL SEEN

: Chicago boxfng followers were jubilant yesterday when a jury in Judge Sheridan Fry's court found William J. O'Connell not guilty of promoting a boxing bout at his gymnasium at 504 South State street O'Connell was arTommy Gary and rested along with Vincent Ketchel in a raid by detectives. The latter two at the time of the arrest were engaging In a sparring contest. Professor O'Connell was charged with staking a bout and charging admission. At the trial O'Connell testified that no admission was charged, but that those who saw the contest either, were regular patrons of his club or had paid for exercise. On this evidence he was acquitted. Boxing followers think they see a chance for a resumption of boxing In Chicago in the decision. They hold that If exercise tickets could be sold not unlawfully to persons who witnessed contests at O'Connell's the same might be done at other gymnasiums.

It Is no - Boston National league fence either., but takes a whale of a hit to send the ball. over it. The Cubs got"nine hits, four of which were contributed by the firm of Schulte and Ifofman working together. In spite of the diamond, which was soft from the heavy rains of last week, the veteran infield got a good workout. In the outfield the going was equally heavy, on account of the wet sand, but the gardeners 'got everything within reach. " Cub Recruit . Making Good 7' fear tf v 'ZPOGGENBURG BEATEN, 400-312 Paris.
