INDIANA HARBOR Rev. A. J. Croooks. preaching from Act 12. 7-8, brought out the great fact of the early persecution of the Christian church, James killed, Peter cast into prison, but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. A messenger from God delivered Peter from prison. Today the messenger is not an angel, but the message committed' to men and women to carry the gospel unto all the" world for "ye are my witness." What a glorious work to be engaged in to save men Is the end of the gospel and God's love manifested to man by the gift of His son (John 3-16). Grave fears are now entertained for the recovery of Peter Needham, the electrician at the Inland mill and brother of Tom Needham. the catcher for the Cubs, who was shot in Indiana Harbor Sunday morning by a colored porter named William Lytton!

Fowler was sitting in the bank the other day when his attention was attracted by a. loud shuffling sound and he looked up from his desk to observe a crowd of urchins entering the place. Well, boys, what can I do for you?" inquired the banker of the crowd. The leader of the party then produced a paper on which was written the following: "'We, the undersigned of the Rexal Baseball club, thank you very much for the baseball you sent us. We are proud of it. Tours truly, "Capt. Vladimir Tomanovlch 2d base. "Joe Sherpetosky catcher. "AVilllam Paptzen pitcher. "Paul Weiger 1st base. "Thomas Broguckl shortstop. "Thomas O'Donnell 3d base.

CUBS LAND GAME BY HARD HITTING Fourteen Bingles for Twenty Sacks Beat Boston Braves, 9 to 4.

.An abundance of base hits gave the Cubs an easy victory over the Boston Braves yesterday at the west side park, the score being 9 to 4. There was plenty of fresh air and lots of beautiful sunshine, but otherwise not much to entertain the crowd. Boston looked too much like the Boston club of old to arouse enthusiasm. The pepper shown on the previous day was lacking. In. the first round the Cubs whaled home three runs and-then galloped the rest of the route, adding six more at various intervals. It was the eighth inning before the Braves got a man

home. They pushed one over In that inning and wound up with three in the ninth, but that didn't even put them close enough to make it look like a bat

tle.

It was thrilling to see Jimmy Archer bang out four base hits in four times

at bat. Also It caused some cheering

and applause when Johnny Evers lined

a triple, followed by another by Eddie

Lennox. Artie Hofman also exhibited

in fine style, scoring three runs by

some fancy batting and speedy base-

running. It was also comforting to see

Young Jimmy Lavender handle himself

ao well on the slab.

Cincinnati, O., May 8. After win

ning six straight games, the Reds fell down In their first engagement with an eastern club yesterday, being swiped

by the Phillies, 8 to 5.

Suggs was hit freely and his support

was below par. The Reds fought with

determination and forced Dooln to use three pitchers, knocking Seton out of the box in the seventh inning. Magee played his first game of the season for

the Phillies. The hitting of Paskert and Esmond was a feature.

President Taft occupied a box with

members of his family and remained throughout the game. He received an ovation on reaching the grounds and again on leaving.

Champ Johnson Takes Off

Weight in Workout With Little Effort.

That Jack Johnson will enter the ring on July 4 weighing In the neighborhood of 215 pounds was shown yesterday when he came off the road and scaled at 234 pounds. The champion

did about four miles without making

any strenuous efforts to hit up the pace.

Johnson showed a different attitude toward the contest with Flynn. The champion now says Flynn will give him

a hard, stubborn, fight- , For the first time since his accident In Pittsburg

Jack will do some boxing today for

few rounds with Marty Cutler, while

road work will be part of his training

Two years ago Johnny Evers sent Kollle Zelder a postcard after the Sox. player had made five errors In one game. Rollie got even recently when the little Trojan booted five in one afternoon.

San Francisco, May 8. The pugilistic renaissance back east has unsettled

Jimmy Brltt. For some time past Jimmy has been content to shine as a monologlst, but now he is going to put his tuxedo away and don his ring costume once more. Gil Boa?, the young . New Yorker, who was out here with One Round Hogan,' offered $10,000 for a Britt-Knoek-out Brown contest and Brltt accepted so quickly that Boag poaarlbly felt he might have secured the attraction cheaperlf he had been less precipitate about bidding. . Brltt must have had an inkling that there was an engagement In prospect, for He began training at Cincinnati before Boag was heard from officially. Now that Brltt has Joined the comeback brigade it will be interesting to watch . for results. Being of steady habits' and a firm believer In exercise. It is not likely that Jimmy has sloughed to' any extent either In wind or muscle since he withdrew from the activities of the game. If he even retains '70 per cent of his former fighting qualifications he Is likely to make things very interesting for the New York Dutchman. Brown makes no pretentions to cleverness, but he loosens up like a newlycranked automobile. Brltt, on the oth'er hand. Is decidedly clever, and unless he will starid to his guns when Brown elects to make a hand-to-hand combat of It. It may be that the coming event will bring -Brltt back into the ring for a full campaign. One thing is certain. When Battling Nelson hears that his old rival has taken up the cudgels

again he will hot rest until he has arranged just one more annual reunion. .

PACKEY WHIPS Rim ROBINSON Rochester, N. Y.. May 8. Packey McKarland boxed ten rounds against Red

Robinson of Pittsburg here last night. For the first five rounds McFarland seemed to be toying with his man, but when he tried In the final five to stow Robinson away he fount! that the Pittsburg boy was too strong and rugr ged. People who saw both bouts say that Robinson put up a better fight i against Packey than did Wells. In the

preliminaries Sammy Baker 'won a decision over Joe King and Joe Goldberg outboxed young Wilmer.

Last night in this city he tacked a vicious right hand wallop on the jaw of Charlie Nehring of Milwaukee after one minute of fighting in the fifth round, and the Mllwaukeean went to the floor and was counted out. -
