Recent developments in connection with the plans of the Racing Foundation Corporation of America to revive horse racing near Chicago have forced even the most skeptical sportsmen to believe that the promoters actually "mean business." The purchase of a tract of land near Porter. Ind.', and the filing of the transfer In the recorder's .office at Valparaiso was the first impressive incident. J Now comes a well-founded report 'that Martin Nathanson, one of the best 'known racing officials in the country, and who was prominently connected with the local tracks during the palmy days of racing, has accepted the position of racing secretary, and is expected to return from the west immediately in order to frame the condition books for the proposed fifteenday meeting to be given at the new Indiana track next month. That Nathanson accepted the offer in all seriousness is shown by the fact that he severed his connection with the Butte race track a few days ago. It was rumored at the time that ill health had caused Nathanson to quit Montana, but those who profess to be "on the Inside" declare now that It was for no other reason than a deBire to' return to Chicago and aid in the revival of the game hereabouts. The problem of securing a capable

also been solved. Harry Morrlssey, a protege of Mars Cassldy, and whose work at the barrier on the Intermountaln circuit this summer has been highly commenced, will send the fields away at the new Indiana track. His engagement at Butte will terminate Sept. 4, thus affording him sufficient time to reach Chicago before the opening of the proposed fall meeting. No official announcement has been made in regard to the selection of the other officials necessary to the successful operation of the View track, but it is understood that Chicago men will occupy the bulk of the positions. The name of Charles F. Price, for manyyears presiding judge on the Kentucky tracks, has been mentioned in connection with a like position at the Porter county track, but it is doubtful whether he can be secured, inasmuch as he has ben re-engaged to officiate at Juarez following the close of Latonia in November. Pari mutuel machines, patterned after those now being used in Kentucky may be the method of betting at the Indiana track. It Is also the Intention of , the promoters to erect several additional tracks next year. With

MACKS Mil) SOX DOUBLE BEATING

MOTHER WANTS SPEAKER HOME

Drop to Second Division byLosing First Game, 9 to 6, and Second, 2 to 1.

Chicago's struggling White Sox wound up the home games with a double-header yesterday against Connie Mack's champions, losing both games. The sad parUof It is that they dropped below the .500 mark for tha first time this year and slipped cut of

the first division by the fraction of a point. . While they were being licked here in two games, Detroit won a game from Boston, and If one figures out the standing jto four decimal places one will find that the Sox standing Is

.4952, while that of the Tigers is. .4954, and that fraction of a point puts

Comlskey's boys In the second division. While 'the result of me Cay's doings is sad. enough thrilling things happened to excite the fans and cause them to expect better things to come. They saw the White Sox bat Chief Bender, the great Indian hurler of the champions, off the slab in a rally at the end of the first game that threatened for a time to turn a bad defeat into a great victory. Then they saw a new pitcher, Ralph Crabb, who appeared the day before in a little more than an innlug, go upon the slab for

While Gary and Laporte rested on their oars yesterday afternoon on account of wet grounds, Hammond was working like a Trojan and snuggled up to the top-notchers within a half a game of the lead. Weather conditions, picnics and other forms of amusement kept the fans away from the various games yesterday, but the regulars made up the ,deficit at the gate. Although none of the clubs changed places in the league standing, there

were some good games, resulting in

Valparaiso, Indiana Harbor and Crown Point being In close quarters for third place. The three clubs are now within two and three games apart and next week should see some surprising changes.

Although loose in parts, both sides demonstrated some good league ball and gave the fans plenty or excitement during the hour and fifty minutes . of play which spanned the crazy battle.

Da.se. annougn inrm men were pui oui in desperate attempts to reach third. The locals secured eight hits off Inglis, six of which figured In the four runs. The fielding on both sides was good. Wallace, East Chicago's Third baseman, failed to show up and the game was delayed somewhat on that account, but the Laporte and Gary game being postponed on account of the wet grounds, some of the Imports players Btopped off at Indiana Harbor on their way back to Chicago, and by the consent of all parties concerned, including Manager Fltssimmons of the Laporte team, Kempf was permitted to play. The features of the game aside from Bradshaw's pitching were the hitting of J. Walsh and Matt Sternberg; Hoffman's stop of Heilman's Tiot bounder

back of second base, and tha catching: of Daugherty's long fly by Ulltnan in left field in the fourth Inning. A day or two ago the Chicago Journal printed a story in which It stated that Joe Bradshaw, who Is under con

tract with the Harbor, had signed tip with a Chicago team of the United States league. Bradshaw stated yesterday that the story waa absolutely without foundation, that he had signed no other contract than the one with Indiana Harbor and had no Intention of doing so. He said he was perfectly satisfied with hla position with tha Harbor team and would remain with them until the end of the season. The score: INDIANA HARBOR.

With Whiting in the lead by two runs Haramond knew that it had to start something. For five innings Bryant fed them doses of whitewash and it wfls not until the seventh frame that Hammond had any hopes of landing a victory. In this inning Sohl's iien came back and, not until they had evened up the score at 3 to 3 were they satisfied. The eighth and ninth stanzas ' saw Hammond and Whiting eager for thd winning score and this came to Hammond In the tenth when, with one burst of energy, they hauled one run in over the life

line. It's been many a day since there was such a swatfest at the H. A. A. park and it was surprising that there was iot a larger score, than resulted. Although Hammond received eleven hits they should have had more, as they hit the sphere at willTnany
