There was very' little practice yesterday. It started to rain before the drivers were up and continued until 4 o'clock in the afternoon with a few exasperating halts. Anderson and Zengel took the two Stutz cars out for a
shower bath and Knight in the Lexington; Burman, in the Cutting; Frayer, In the Firestone-Columbus, and Johnny Jenkins in the White took a few turns after the sun came out late in the afternoon.
The rain is over, according to the local forecaster, W. D.- Bliss, who says that yesterday's showers were the last of the storm which visited Chicago and vicinity Sunday. H predicts fair weather for today and tomorrow. C. E. Edwards, chairman of the technical committee, was busy from early morning until night weighing in the cars. All that have been tested so far have been found over the limit and all are expected to qualify with the possible exception of the Mason, which may be a little under 2.000 pounds.

Automobile racing on track or road will jle by its own hand on Decoration day at the Indianapolis speedway, according to the best Informed automobile men of the country who are congregated here. Makers of racing and stock machines who have had faith in the racing game and who have nominated'machines with the best available drivers for the 500mile race are almost unanimous in their belief that on Thursday the finale of automobile racing will be written. On Thursday the pick of drivers and cars racing in America will line up for the start at the speedway. Twenty-
three have already qualified and two more are possible entrants, and these constitute the last of competitive drivers for this country. Last year one machanic was killed at the speedway, due not so much to the track as bad luck. The officials this year figure that the list of dead will far exceed last season's, and expect the death toll to be so large as to stop all sorts of motor car racing In the future.

His place was taken by Young Mr. Keefe, a clever hurler, but he had great difficulty in stopping the "stampede. Once it was stopped, Keefe went along to the finish in a moat acceptable manner, giving the local fellows only one more

Cleveland, O., May 29. Toiling in
dustriously for over three hours and a
half between showery yesterday after
noon the White Sox and Naps managed
to work off one of the two ... contests booked for i them, and because Bill Lange was a better duck than Gene Krapp the visitors won by a score of 7 to 3. The game was started under adverse conditions, was interrupted three times by near deluges, and was finished In mud ankle deep. The White Sox arrived here to find themselves manageress temporarily, for a notice awaited John James Callahan to the effect that he would be ineligible to combat for three days. The third day of his banishment being a holiday, which Is parted in the middle
on the schedule, it was specifically stated that Callahan would be ineligible until noon of Thursday.
Said notice was sent to the White Sox park in Chicago by mail and forwarded here, arriving ahead of the team. If the manager had been aware of his suspension in time he would have brought along Mattick, who was left at home, but has been summoned by wire and Is expected to arrive in the morning. The Sox also found a lot ' of bum weather awaiting them and ' th pros-
pects were that the whole double head-

burst passed over the city and soaked
the ball park, but the patent lid on the diamond preserved the base lines sufficiently to make It possible to start on schedule time at 1:30 o'clock. . The White Sox landed on Krapp for
two hits and a pass in their second inning, scoring two runs after two were out Then came a real deluge with lightning and cyclone trimmings. Play was suspended and there seemed no chance to continue. At the end of thirty minutes it was decided to make an attempt to Invalidate the rain checks, which sei'eral thousand fans were gripping tightly in their fists. Another fifteen minutes were consumed in sopping up a portion of the water with
which the field was flooded and in giving the base lines the sawdust treatment. When Ave innings were finished conditions were no worse and the crap con-
tinud in spite of a fine drizzle which twice more turned into real xain and compelled an armistice. With one out in the Nap half of the seventh a second edition of the deluge drove everybody to shelter for five minutes. Agatn at the end o the Sox half of the ninth it came down in bucketfuls.

19. 1909, and have not traded a wallop since. Bronson Is one of the few lightweights (he was a 133-pounder In
1909) who have held the fleet ring lad
from the south side to an even break. Packey has not cherished the memory
of that encounter, for he had a mighty close call, and tie will be In the arena tonight with the firm determination to give Ray an artistic trimming and thus
get revenge. -In the -New Orleans battle. Ray nailed Packey on the chin with almost the first exchange of- blows. Packey took the nine count and got up as straight as a string. He weathered the storm and was whipping the daylights out of the Hoosler at the finish.. But that one punch earned Bronson the draw verdict. We doubt very much if Bronson will begin to do as well tonight as he did at New Orleans. The McFarland boy Is going at the best rate of his long and brilliant career and we don't think the boxer breathers who cam scale under 140 pounds and beat Packey in ten rounds right now. Just look at a few of the bunch - Packey has cleaned up since Jan. 1 of this year: Eddie Murphy, Matt Wells. Jack Ward, Young Erne, Tommy Devlin, Kid Burns. Bronson

WANT RACINGWITH BETTING Baton Rouge, La., May 29. The o pacing gun in the fight to restore race track betting in New Orleans was fired today when a bill was introduced in the lower house of the general assembly to legaize racing in New Orleans with minor regulations. There is a bitter opposition to the measure and prospects for its passage are not especially favorable.

Thy're com(ng back. Mr. M. Brown, celebrated three-fingered twlrler of the Cubs, had his turn yesterday, following "Big Ed" Reulbaoh's return of the previous day. Brownie hurled the prancing Reds of Cincinnati into a defeat by a score of 10 to 2, allowing only six dinky base hits, and showing his fa
mous "hook" curve for the first timet this year. I The famed pitcher looked superb. It j was the first time he has shown the form of past years, and Manager
Chance believes his star slab man will i be able to take a regular turn on the! mound from now on. and win a big ma- i
kjority of his games. With Brownl in,
shape, the pitching strength of the Cubs should be increasea by at least twenty-five per cent, so there should be some climbing done by the Cubs from now on. A tremendous third inning attack smothered the Reds yesterday. The Cubs batted home nine runs in one round, knocking one pitcher off the slab before half that number had been driven over. After that it was only a canter for them to go to the end and get the victory. Thirteen men took turns at the bat before the Reds could get the side out in that round, a double play finally ending it after nine Cubs had crossed the rubber. Brown had the distinction of making two runs and two hits in that one. inning. Every other member rt the team made the circuit once, with the single exception of Frank Schulte. Eight hits were piled up in the stampede, two doubles and one a triple. Two men drew bases on balls, one was hit by a pitched ball, and the result was most enjoyable to the loyal ones on the west side. iiank O'Day selected Gaspar, one of

Laporte played its nrst game away

they found that they are Just ae good
away from home as they are on their
own grounds. They say they are not satisfied with second place and would
like to see their name at -the head In a few weeks. Go as far as you like, Laporte. That's all right with us. Valparaiso wants a couple of good pitchers, so if you think you are there and can stick on the mound for nine innings, why we are sure you can win a home at the Porter county seat. All we want is some good twlrlers, says Valpo, as the rest of the team la as good as there is in the league. Well, here's
hoping, Valpo.
