HOT GAME PROMISED FOR SUNDAY Manager Matt Sternberg will have for his guests tomorrow at the ball park the leaders of the Northern Indiana league. The defeat of July 4 In Hammond Is still rankling in the breasts of the sturdy Indians and a herculean effort will be put forth to wipe out the blot. Either Marceaux or Bradshaw will pitch, but it is probable that Marceaux will be the one selected. There Is a well defined opinion prevailing not only among the Harbor ball players, but also those who' witnessed the game In Hammond on July 4, that probably not over one of the four home runs made ofT "Marceaux on that occasion would have pone for even a WE PAY $1 PER SET FOR HTllP'Tlf OLD FALSE JL Mjfi JL O. which are of no value to you.

single had the hits been made on the Indiana Harbor grounds Instead of the Hammond, where the fence la so close in. The Hammond players maintain that their short field is as fair for one as It is for the other, all of which would be true if the visiting clubs practiced and played on it as often as does the Hammond team. Tomorrow the Hammond sluggers will have an opportunity to show how many home runs they can make on roomier grounds. ;

TOXIN MY SAVE THE BOY'S LIFE

Joseph Grobarac, the 7-year-old West Hammond boy who is on the brink of death at his home, 412 One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street, owing to lockjaw which it is thought developed from a scratch of a mosquito bite, was today reported to have shown a trifle im provement, and it is now thought that he can survive the terrlle strain under which he has been for nearly a week, that the anti-toxin, which is being ad ministered In copious doses, will save his life. While the case Is a particularly pathetic one, owing to the poor circum tances of the family, it Is gratifying to notice the deep Interest that is be lng taken by the kind people of Ham mond and West Hammond and the ready responses for .aid that have come from sources. Dr. A. A. Young, who has charge of the case, has had many inquiries aout the patient's progress from people who read The Times' story last night. CnPTiOfl WAS CAUSE OF DEATH Fight in Pool Room Not Believed to Be Responsi ble for Greek's End. (Although It is reported that a fight, wlhich occurred at the Central poolroom about a month ago, may have aldsd in the death of George Apostal, who died at St." Margaret's hospital Tuesday morning following a lingering illness. So far no investigation has been made as the case has not been reported to the police. For the past year Apostal has been suffering from consumption, but .during that time has beet able to be up and around until the fight occurred in the poolroom over a month ago. The fight followed an argument over some money which was due Apostal and at the time the deceased was struck over the head with a billiard cue, a severe wound resulting from the blow. Medical attendance was summoned, but since that time Apostal's condition gradually grew weaker and often complained about the pains in his head, resulting from the blow. During the past week his condition was regarded as serious and passed away at St. Margaret's hospital Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. It is not likely that his death will be investigated now, as the result of his death is given as consumption. Apostal was a Greek and has resided In Hammond a short time over three years, where he was employed as & teamster and worked at other odd jobs. The funeral was held at Emmerllng's, The Interment was at the Slavish ceme tery. PRAISE FOR BREWERY Fred Carter of the Hammond Brew lng company Is one of the produest men in Hammond. The June edition of the United States Health Bulletin, printed In New Tork, has the following paragraph: "The Health Bulletin has for a num ber of years watched the product of many of the breweries of the country, both large and small, and has com mended several of them for the quali ty of the beer or ale produced. One of them being the Himmond Brewing Pisnis at ji p

company, of Hammond,. Ind."

This Is an extract of an article en titled, "Brewers Brew Health." It is proof of the claim that nowhere in the United States Is there any better brwed than in West Hammond, although the article refers to Hammond. The brewery is doing a better busi ness than ever before. Its business shows a constant increase in volume. And it is the quality of the product that has done the trick. FIFTEEN GO ON A VACATION Chaperoned by the Rev. F- H. Adams of the First Baptist church of Hammond, who is Scout Master of" the Hammond Camp, about fifteen Hammond boys will leave for Crystal Lak Michigan, next Monday morning for a two weeks outing. The party leaves Hammond at 6:20 A. M. on the South Shore Line and goes to Chicago where It will Join other Boy Scouts of America and together they will cross the lake on the steamboat Columbia. The Boy Scouts of America are in the popular mind sometimes confuted with the American Boy 'Scouts. The latter organization has for one of its objects the drilling of boys with a view of eventually making them good soldiers. The Boy Scouts of America on the other hand are the stronger organization, and while they are being reared in a patriotic atmosphere, their training is devoid of anything warlike. On the contrary the blessing of peace are held up to them as one of the ideals of a scout. Two Games for Locals. Although there will be no game at the H. A. A. Park tomorrow afternoon. the baseball fans will have an oppor tunity of seeing some fast games at the old Hubbard park, which will be the scene of a double header. The curtain raiser will be played at 1:30 o'clock between the Wabash Colts and the Anderson Drews. The second con test will be between the well known Hammond Grays and the Griffith Stars. MAY BE REAL CLUE 10 GARY fflURDER Black Oak Ladv Tells of Conversation Over Phone to Negress in Gary. That there may have been collusion between Moses Levy, the murderer cf Robert Davis, both colored, and the woman with whom they were both consorting was made apparent by the clue that was furnished The Times to day by Mrs. F. B. Scheldt of Black Oak, Mrs. Scheldt says that last Wednes day a colored man entered her place and asked to telephone to Gary. He asked Mrsl Scheldt to call Max Bern stlne's saloon and let him talk to th porter there. When the porter got on the wire h told him that he wanted to talk to Mrs. Davis at that phone number a ten o'clock. However, he evidently became frightened for he did not re turn at ten o'clock to receive the call. Mrs. Scheldt says that the negro was very nervous. When she asked for th telephone toll of ten cents he said that he did not have it. This indl cates that he could not have gone very far. His presence in Black Oak als supports the contention of the pollc that he made his escape on an E. J. & E. freight train. Mrs. Scheldt did not pay particular attention to the negro and did not place any significance In his acts until she read of the Gary murder , in The Timer. She was away all day Thurs day and did not see the account of the murder until Saturday. MARKET FAVORS RETAIL TRADERS Dun's review says today: "The usual returns indicate that re cent commercial and industrial progress is well sustained. The record of trading defaults reflects lessened pressure In the half year settlements. but there Is Improving demand fr money at a slight advance this week, and aggregate payments though the banks testify to the largera activity current. "Hot weather and the recent holiday effects are mainly reflected In reduced movements of argricultural, dairy, and range products. The conditions gen erally werefavorable to retail and distributive branches of general mer chandise, and there was fratlfying absorption of seasonable necessaries here and at the interior. Railroad Business Improved. "Numerous inquiries now received are forerunners of important commitments soon to be made by various railroads, influenced largely by the im proved business aspect. The conS dence of manufacturers and Investors In the outlook was distinctly strengthened by the government crop report showing prospective harvests largely exceeding last year's final yields. Substantial contracts were negotiated for pig iron, rails, fabricated shapes. plates, wire, and miscellanedus steel, some of the tonnages being entered at prices above those ruling a month a ago. , "Grain, live stock, and provision markets Indicate the usual quiet at this season, although prices continued relatively high, considering poor general demand for future shipments, Total movement of grain at this port. 7,157,837 bushels, compares with 8,443,600 bushels last week and 9,726,800 bushels a. year ago. Compared with 1911, decreases apear in receipts 37 per cent and shipments 11.9 per cent. "Flour receipts were only 83,698 barrels, against 84,630. barrels last week and 155,41$ barji a year ago. while

ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE TAKES POT SHOT AT GOVERNOR

TIMES BCRCAr: AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., July ' 12. The American Issue, the official organ of the Ahtl-Saloon League, takes the following fling at Governor Marshall in this week's issue: "The sentiment of the nation un questionably approves the selection of Woodrow Wilson at Baltimore as the Democratic nominee for President. 'However, no friend of the temper ance cause can take any comfort over the nomination of Thomas R. Marshall, Indiana's chief executive, for vie president. The latter nomination waa vigorously opposed by Mr. Bryan and we are informed by many of Wilson's friends. But the machinations of Tom Taggart, Tammany's Chief Murphy, Roger Sullivan, of Illinois, bore down all opposition and placed on the ticket, as Wilson's running mate, a candidate ; who, is objectionable to the church and; temperance people of the country. "Because of his pro-liquor alliances. Mr. Marshall was opposed by the AntlSaloon League in 1908. He was elected, though, because of the tidal wave which swept over the country, Tn 1310; he, with others was responsible for the ' placing of a plank in the Democratic state platform to turn the state over to the brewers through the destruction of the county option law, which had placed seventy of our ninety-two counties on the dry list. He used all the Influence of his administration to secure the repeal of the county option law, signed the bill when it passed and thus helped force the saloon back into forty-flve counties from which It had been banished by the will of the i people. He also forced through the1 legislature the brewers' monstrosity of a so-called model license law the most iniquitous pro-liquor measure ever passed by the Indiana legislature. His views on the liquor question were, expressed in an interview in an Indianapolis paper in which he said that he and brewer Fleming the Indiana liquor boss) were in entire accord on the liquor question. "How do the home loving people of America like the prospect of seeing Mr. Marshall, the friend of the liquor interests, the foe of the temperance re form, the moral lecturer on Sundays and the liquor advocate of all other times a veritable Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde become the second chief man of the nation. Mr. Bryan was right tn opposing his nomination, ae he waa shlpmeTTts were 100,185 barrels, against 99,726 barrels last week and 246,790 barrels in 1911. Bank Clearing Exceed Last Year's. "Bank clearings. J292.280.720, exceed those of corresponding week in 1911 by 7.2 per cent, and compare with $276,780,22 in 1910. "Failures reported1 In the Chicago district ' numbered 26, against 24 last week, 26 in 1911, and 26 in 1910. Those with liabilities over $5,000 number 8, against 9 last week, 4 in 1911, and 8 in 1910.ORDER NEARLY 500 LOCOMOTIVES The Waverly warehouses In New York, subsidiary to the United States Steel corporation, yesterday announced an advance of $1 per ton for steel plates, bars and structurals, to become effective at once. The new quotations are $1.85 per 100 pounds for bars and $1.95 per 100 pounds for plates and structurals. Locomotive Inquiries made yesterday Include ten for the Minneapolis & St. Louis and other minor ones. There are now pending Inquiries for nearly 450 locomotives. Orders placed during the last month Include 150 placed with the American Locomotive company out of a total of 850 engines. No. 2 foundry Iron has been ad vanced 25 cents a ton In Birmingham recently. Other Iron prices have shown a like tendency to advance re cently. ARB YOU READING THE TIMEST CHARMING BODICE OF EYELET EMBROIDERY mob.

Trimming bands are of white fillet net embroidered in, black.

right in favoring that of Wilson. Many voters next November will regret that they cannot vote for Wilson for President, because in so doing they would vote for Marshall. There are two important political conference on hand this afternoon in this city. One is the meeting of the

Democratic state comittee to consider the resignation of Thomas Taggart as national committeeman from Indiana, and the other Is the first meeting of the state executive committee of the third party, appointed by Edwin M. Lee. There was believed before the meeting of the Democratic state committee to be a likelihood that Taggart would be Induced to stick to the job and to withdraw his resignation. It was known that the committee would try to get him to do this, even if it has to go all the way to French Lick to talk It over with him. It was said that this probably would be the plan, because the members of the comittee could spend a couple of days at French Lick as guests of Taggart and have a good time without costing a cent. And then they might get him to reconsider. So no definite action by the committee was looked for this afternoon. If Tag gart's resignation is final, then there is no telling who will be elected his successor, although It looks like W. H. O'Brien, state auditor. It may be Congressman Lincoln Dixon, because It is known that at the time when Taggart wanted to refuse a re-election there was an agreement between Taggart. Governor Marshall, Steve Fleming and O Brlen thai Dixon should be appoint ed as his successor. But Taggart spoiled all of this by accepting re-elec tion. Rome think Dixon may be elected this time.Horace C. Stillwell, of Anderson, has given out the word that he will not accept the nomination for Governor on the third party ticket. He Is an ardent third party man, all right, and has Just returned -from the east where he had a long conference with Senator Dixon, the manager of the third party movement. Stillwell Is enthusiastic, over the movement but says he will not under any circumstances take the nomination for Governor. This leaves Albert J. Beveridge as the only remaining name mentioned in connection with the Governorship. Beveridge is in the Maine woods, so It. Is not known whether fce will take the place or not. WABASH FINANCE PROBLEMS The Wabash reorganisation plan which is almost ready for announce ment will give to the preferred stockholders the privilege of conversion of their holdings into common stock aftej a stated period. This provision Is made to offset tlje reduction In the dividend on the preferred that will be made in the new plan, bringing the rate down from 7 per cent to 4 per cent. A committee of five directors of the Missouri Pacific, Including James ! sPeyer- haB D'en appointed by the ooara or tne Missouri Pacific to report I as to th" ttude that this road ! 8nouId take ,n reKard to reorganlzatlon. A large burden will come up on the already heavily burdened Missouri Pacific in the assessment feature of the Wabash reorganization plan. The Missouri Pacific will be forced to raise more than $3,500,000 in ca8n to meet tnls assessment on its $12,500,000 of Wabash stock. There is much speculation as to how the Missouri Pacific will meet this problem. Another objection that was heard yesterday to the reorganisation plan lies not In the plan Itself but In the fact that some opponents believe that It Is to go Into operation too soon. This opposition takes the ground that the receivership should te continued for several years more. THE DAY IN CONGRESS SENATE. Convened at 10 a. m.
