Ray Marshall is carrying an ugly cut 'below his right eye as well as a bruised mouth. So after Flynn negotiated a sixteen-

mile drill over the hills yesterday, Ryan told him he could lay off in the after

noon. The camp bore more resemblance to a hospital ward than it did to the headquarters of a fighter.

At 2 o'clock Flynn climbed into road togs and in company with Chick Coleman spent the greater part of the afternoon in the mountains.

He worked slowly and contented himself with kidding Debray and Respress over their inability to land on him. After completing his boxing Johnson stepped on the scales at the request of a party of autoists en route to New York from Los Angeles. He weighed exactly 226 pounds. He looks much heavier, but claims the scales have not been tinkered with. Joe Woodman, manager of Sam Langford, cabled Promoter Curley from Sydnev, Australia, today that he was leav

most pleasant thing In the game was the fact that there was absolutely no wrangling and the umpires proved themselves to be very fair and Impartial. The Mercuries outplayed the Royals in every department of the game and the fielding of Shaner, the new center fielder, was a revelation to the fans. Three times he seized flies any of which would have been two-baggprs to the ordinary fielder. The Mercuries lineup

has been permanently changed owing to Shaner's position at center field. Simon, the ex-center fielder, has been made shortstop and Jumpsey has been placed at second. Morgan proved the master of Shulz at pitching and held the Royals safe all the way. Batteries; Morgan and McCoy; Shulz and Wunrow. Attendance, -'00.

with a dizzy suddenness, the Sam Langford-Joe Jeannette battle exploded

with a bang, and plain signs showing

that an unfriendly hand is tampering with the Ad Wolgast-Joe Rivers light

weight championship affair.

Promoter T. J. McCarey tossed out

added:

"And my hired girl quit me on twenty

minutes' notice. If anybody else shows

thus much hard luck hitting 'em In

side of twenty-four hours I'll pass the

hat for their benefit. This has been a jinx day for me, sure." Moran was to have boxed a scheduled twenty-round go with White at Vernon next Saturday, but early yesterday afternoon Manager Jimmy Johnson came to town with the advice that the Birmingham boxer had broken a bone In his right hand. McCarey, without a word of comment or criticism, canceled the show. ... , "Moran hurt his hand In the ring with Charley White at Syracuse," explained Johnson. "This may keep him out of the ring for several weeks."

MERCURIES WIN TWO. The East Chicago Mercuries defeated the Whiting Tigers May 26 and almost shut them out, allowing the visitors two runs in the last inning. Owing to the fact that they so conip-letely outclassed the Tigers the game was cut to seven innings. Featuring this

Pittsburg, Pa., June 4. Captain Marshall Henderson, president of the local United States league club, last night was elected president of the United States league. His election followed a meeting lasting eleven hours, at which the New York and Washington teams were dropped from the league. The franchises will probably go to St. Louis and Indianapolis, but for the present the league will continue with but six teams. William A. Witman. who was elected president when the league was organized, was not present. As there are four different western cities after the two franchises. President Henderson will select the cities that look the best to him.

Representatives of business men of

would organize immediately to continue

Dentist Knocks German to Floor With Great Frequency.

New York, June 4. Leach Cross is a poor finished. Either that or else K. O.' Brown is the champion for punishment. Cross sent the stolid German to the floor so many times last night that the exoerta refused to toll further. It was the worst licking that the little Dutchman has received since he drenv on his flret pair of lucky blu tights. Cross was always the master. He listened faithfully to Harry Lee, his main ring man, while Lee called for Brown to lead and Cross to right upper-

cut. That was the secret of Leach a success. Outside of the fight itself Billy Gibson is to be congratulated. Billy vowed It was a good fight for his first lick off the tee, and all the fans agreed. The gallery was packed and the next row down was filled with coatless fans, which Is a very good sign. On the main floor were gathered the regular men of our town. The heat did not thin them out a bit. The seating arrangements were perfect, and there wasn't a hitch as far as comfort went. It was a glad night, though it was some . warm.

tempt by the White Sox to pull out of the fire a game which apparently was hopelessly lost, and, when the final count of 8 to 4 in favor of the Athletics was hung out, a squad of policemen escorted the erring umpire off the lot to protect him from the rage of the rooters.

The Athletics had their batting

cues VICTORS III EXCITING BATTLE

Brainy Play by Sheckard

Proves Big Factor in Defeat of Boston.

Boston, Mass., June 4. In a desperate and exciting contest th Cubs whipped the Boston Braves once more yesterday, winning in the ninth inning by a score of 4 to 3. It was a game filled with unusual things and a superior defense, aided by James Sheckard's brains

and muscles, permitted the Cubs toj come out with the long end of the score.

One may look back In the past years for unusual and quick thinking plays that have been executed on th ball field and one will find that James Sheckard has figured in more tricks turned by outfielders than any othe'r outfielder in the game. James turned one yesterday that was a sparkler, and one that no other outfielder would care to attempt. Mordecai Brown was pitching at the time for Chicago and had been going at a lively pace. In the sjxth inning Brownie got in the hole, letting Hess make a single and passing McDonald. With these two men on Vin Campbell raised a high fly, a bit to left center. Sheckard raced under it. and of course the two oase runners held their places, but Sheckard fooled them.

Peru. Ind., June 4. Packey McFariand of Chicago had an easy encounter with Jeff Boyle, a Canadian lightweight, at the Wallace theater here last night, and at the close of the sixround bout Packey was as lively as a cricket, while, the Canadian was so weak that he could hardly stand. In the fourth round Boyle went to the mat in a heap, stung by a blow on the left jaw. but the gong sounded before Referee Joe Sullivan of South Bend had counted five. In the fifth round Boyle

revived and held Packey fairly even.

but in the sixth he went to pieces and

could not find McFarland, who Jabbed him when and where he wished.

HERRICK TO BATTLE CHAPPIE HOMER

HAMMOND ROYALS TO PLAY GARY CUBS The Hammond Royals met with their first defeat Sunday at East Chicago, the Mercuries trimming them by a score of

7 to 2. The Royals relying on an easy victory, were not prepared for such a fast tern. Morgan of the Mercuries was in fine shape and allowed only a few scattered hits until the ninth inning, when the Royals put two men across the plate, saving themselves from a shutout. The ilelding of the Mercuries was better than has been seen on the team in some time. A number of errors on the Royals' side and the slugging of the Mercuries gave them the second victory out of three games played this year. Next Sunday at Harrison Park the Hammond Royals will play the Gary Cubs of Gary. Tommy Lynch will be put In the box for the Royals and Wundro on the receiving end. Batteries for Sunday's game were: Schultz and Windro for the Royals; Morgan and McCoy for the East Chi

ARE YOU READING THjS TIMES f

Last week this Company featured Fillmore Street in its advertising. The residence lots on this street were placed on sale at 9 o'clock Saturday morning, by noon of that day three entire blocks had been sold out and parts of four other blocks. . There are remaining unsold, on Fillmore Street this, Tuesday morning, 46 desirable inside residence lots and two corners, South of 5th Avenue. Fillmore is exclusively a bungalow street. This Company cannot approve of the erection of bungalows , on any other street in its Second Subdivision. PIERCE STREET speaks for itself. It is suggested that prospective buyers of home sites call at this office and permit the Company to take them out to its Second Subdivision. Its location is ideal. Some lots are at grade, others are just high enough above grade to have well terraced lawns. Perhaps the reader was not here early enough to obtain a site on the so-called best streets on the West Side which are now built up. If he procures a site now on Pierce Street and erects a home, he may congratulate himself in a year or so because of the fact that he came a little late. Lots in the Second Subdivision are being offered at very moderate prices. Prices of residence lots in the First Subdivision have been advanced several times without notice to the public. The present prices of lots in the Second Subdivision are subject to change wtihout notice. If the reader intends to purchase a residence lot this year, he is advised to purchase now.
