unsuccessful and they are afrald'it will be a case, of standing on the outride looking in. In regard to the candidacy of J. M. Patterson of Indiana Harbor, the Gary Tribune says editorially. "What nonsense this talk Is about Gary republicans , not accepting the can didacy of Patterson of Indiana Harbor for district prosecutor, and proposing to have an opposition candidate. It may be that Patterson is not to the liking of a certain clique that is running or attempting to run everything in Lake county, republican and democratic, progressive and standpatter. A district prosecutor who will do his full duty may not be to its liking, but it will not put up any opposition candidate. That is not the way it does business."

If President Taft Is renominated it is probable that some broad minded progressive will be selected as his running mate Instead of Vice President Sherman. The New York delegation does not seem to be seriously considering what the fate of Mr. Sherman, who is a New York man, will be. The anti-Taft men of the State may hayo some candidate to advance for second place that it would be good politics for the President's friends to agree to as a mark of the reconciliation that must come after the-convention strife. If the candidates to be named herenow expect to win in November. Then, again, the third term advocates might decide to bolt and to have no further dealings wtth the conservative element if the President's friends win here. .Should there be an immediate bridging of the chasm between the radicals and conservatives following the Presidential, nomination there will be a great crop of "logical choices" and "favorite sons' for the Vice, Presidential honors. Some cf the men now here secretly nursing these Vice Presidential booms are not even delegates to the convention. Many of these were defeated In the fierce factional battles at home. Some happen to be radicals In conservative States and others are conservative in progressive territory. They are hoping, however, that some sort of reward will be forthcoming here in return for the fights they waged and lost at 'home. Training Routine of For K

IZI'S BLUDGEON

Xew York, June 11. In a'battle such as hasn't stirred up things on Manhattan island since 1308, the Cubs downed the proud Xew York Giants on the Polo grounds yesterday, 9 to 8. The combat went ten Innings and was a thriller that drove a mob of 15,000 howling fans from gloom to joy and back to gloom. If there- was any no thing that stood out above the others in the exciting incidents of the. contest, It was the remarkable feal of Heine Zimmerman In hitting a, wild pitch for a home run In the tenth Inning and thereby winning the victory for Chicago. Otis Crandall was hurling at the time and Joe Tinker was on third base, with one man out. Crandall, Chief Myers and Capt. Doyle held a consultation and decided they wouldn't let Heine hit the ball at all. They thought it better to YANKS KNOCK SOX ! FROM TOP PERCH Highlanders Breeze Home After Desperate Fight for Eight Innings. After clinging desperately for eight Innings to the American league lead, which has been theirs uninterruptedly for nearly seven weeks, the White Sox blew themselves off the top stair yesterday by handing the New York Yankees four runs in the ninth inning and the second game of the series by a score of 5 to 1. Aid. Fred Lange deserved better things at the hands of his pals for the game he pitched agatnst Russell Ford, star of the visiting slab staff. Lange would have handed out a complete whitewash If his backing had been as good as his hurling, for he held the Yankees down to six scattered hits. These could not have counted in the run column if Rath had not booted bounder from Chase In the fourth Inning, and If Lord, Ram and Fournler had not conspired to hand the enemy their winning tallies in the ninth. Contralwlse, the .White Sox would not have broken into the run department at -M rf "Chase had not helped them to their lone tally In the third inning. For the rest of the, game, however. Ford's support "was great, and that, more than the little fellow's pitching, ' bumped the Callahans into second place. Shauno Collins, after pulling a smort hit and run play with Callahan which looked like a winner in the eighth Inning, failed to avoid a double play which could have been avoided. That made a difference of at least one run, but one run would not have cut much figure considering what happened in the ninth. J. WHITE MAY GET SECOND GO Los Angeles, Cal., June 11. The showing of Harry Thomas in his bout with Jack White' last Saturday has made the Englishman a winner on the coast. Thoms had only five days of real training, and his fireat fight under those conditions appealed to the fans. There is a probability that the boys will be rematched, and, with good conditioning Thomas has a good chance of beating White. Jonnson and. Flynn.

BEATS GIANTS 9-8

pass him deliberately and take a chance on the batters that followed. Consequently Chief Myers stood out to one side and Crandall pitched the. ball about three feet outside the plate and a foot over Heine's head. The second one was Just the same, but Heine leaned over the plate and smacked it, and It went away out over right field and Into the grandstand for a home run, scoring Tinker and himself. Up to this time the battle had been terrific. The Cubs scored one In the first and the Giants three. New York got another In the third and Chicago got one in the fourth. In the sixth the Cubs got four, giving them one run lead, and another in the eighth gave them a lead of two. Then New York got two In the eighth, tying the score, and the Cubs won with two in the tenth. AMERICAN TEAM CH08EHY BOARD Selects Squad from List of Thousand Athletes at New York Meeting. New York.

JOHNSON DEFERS SELECTION OF A REFEREE East Las Vegas, N. M., June 11. Al though the nanves of fifteen men were submitted to Jack Johnson yesterday, the black champ deferred selection of a referee. When approached he was reticent. Experts expect him to wait a few days. This was the most strenuous day In the Flynn camp since it was established at Montezuma. Flynn boxed six teen rounds, four with Tommy Ryan and', four each with Howard Morrow, Al Williams and ,Ray Marshall. Then he punched the bag, played medicine ball, worked the chest weights and jumped the rope. The bout between Ryan and Flynn was watched with In terest, as It was the first time the two" have met in an actual exhibition. Flynn showed up In good shape. Ryan, who is a classy boxer, unlimbered some of his old-time tricks and tried to catch Flynn off his guard, but the latter, to Ryan's glee, put up a good defense. Flynn -also was extremely aggressive and kept Ryan busy at times defending himself from the shower of shortarm blows aimed at his midframe. In the Johnson camp the champ put In a strenuous day. He boxed seven rounds with Cutler, four with Calvin and two with De Bray, after which he tackled the medicine ball. Before beginning his boxing last night Johnson weighed 224 pounds; at the close of the performance he weighed 221. This morning though he omitted his regular run the champion weighed only 222. Jack's superfluous flesh Is coming oft rapidly and taking off the few remaining pounds to get down to his fighting weight, 215 to 219, should be easy. The champ declared today that he would not box tomorrow, as Trainer Burns thinks he has been indulging In too much work with the gloves. U. S- LEAGUE STILL LIVES Pittsburg, Pa.. June 11.

Active training for the lightweight championship fight at Vernon on July 4 between Ad Wolgast of Cadillac,, Mich., and Jose Rlverla (known as Joe Rivers) began yesterday In the camps of both principals. Rivers' condition was said to be good; but because of Wolgast's operation for appendicitis much speculation centered around his appearance. Aside frcm being slightly winded his work was as fast aa ever In nine rounds of boxing and his punching power. If anything, seemed Improved.
