HUGHES GOES 70 MILES AN HOUR ON ELGIN COURSE Elgin. 111.. Aug. 27. Speed demons burned up the track on the Elgin race course in the first official practice at noon yesterday in a manner that Indicates that all records will be smashed Friday and Saturday. Bergdoll in his big Bens shot around the eight-mile course the first time In 7:26, Just fourteen seconds over Ralph Mulford's sensational record lap In the Elgin National race last year.' This is nn average of approximately sixtytight miles an hour.

Seven drivers were out for the first practice, but none of them let his machine out to the limit. Drivers at practice were: Teddy Tetzlaff in his Flat, Pullen and Hughes in Mercers, Clark in a Mercedes and'Endlcott and Roberts in Masons. Offtcla timers will rut watches on the drivers Wednesday. Timers at the Mercer camp claim Hughes made the course in 7:19, an average of more than seventy miles an hour. Thirty-four, not including the French Peugeots, is the tital count for the five races that will be run by the Chicago Automobile club. This developed this afternoon at the course when the official., drawings for numbers took place. The Peugeots 'now are regarded as uncertainties, but if by chance they do get here they will then be assigned numbers. Not many of the drivers were at the drawings. Tetzlaff and Hughes drew for themselves, while the absentees were given numbers pulled by outsiders. The coveted 'No. 1 went to Ralph Mulford, who will lead oft in the big race the second day. Endicott leads in the little car race.

The dollar social which is to be given by the ladies of the Methodis church will be held in he church basemen Friday evening, Aug. 30, at 8 o'clock. All the gentlemen and their friends are invited and will be given an opportunity to contribute a silver overing when the ladies announce how they have earned their dollar. Refreshments will be served and a program given. A novel and commendable scheme has been Introduced into Indiana Harbor by Manager C. P. Burdick of the Lake County Lumber Co. It takes the form of a number of fly-catchers are traps made of wire screen, and the flys are swarming into them by the thousands. Mr. and Mrs. I. E. Barker and Miss Pearl Kenter of Chicago drove out in Mr. Barker's machine Sunday and were the guests of his mother, Mrs. Rebecca Barker. Attorney B. D. L. Glazebrook and wife left Saturday for a three weeks' stay at the Delia of Wisconsin. They will stop at Wauksha a few days en

route. The trip was made necessary

by Mrs. Glazebrook's recent serious ill

ness.

The Indiana Harbor chapter of the

Eastern Star lodge will hold a meeting.

tomorrow evening. Initiations will take place. Refreshments will be served

during a social hour to follow the bust ness of the evening.

Thirty thousand dollars for one performance ueetns an enormous sum, yet this is the amount paid Sarah Bern

hardt a few weeks ago for one pre' sentation of her greatest, success, "Camile," before the moving picture cam

eras. After this premier of all act

resses had consented to reproduce her

great play for moving pictures Mme.

Re jane, the great French comedienne

was induced, with her full company,

to produce "Mme. Sans Gene," the play written especially for her by the great

Sardou.

Since their production in France

these great pictures have been shown

in all the capitals of Europe and the

largest cities of the United States and

Indiana Harbor people will be given an

oportunity to see them for the first

time tonight and tomorrow night,

when they will be shown at the Family

Theatre. The price as always, 6 cents,

Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 27. Joe j

Mandot has brought his hopes and ambitions to the Los Angeles market.

nd if ever a boxer got a "square

deal" on the coast, ., the little French

fighter will bet the "honest cut" here.

The New Orleans lightweight has

won the admiration and respect of the southern California .public on two counts. First, by the clean-cut man

ner in which both he and his manager.

Harry Coleman, have conducted all

Dusiness in connection wnn xne iDor

ay battle, and, secondly; by his work

n the "Vernon training camp.

It does not take an expert of the

game to see that Mandot is a wonder

ful little lightweight. He has the

dashing movement of that ring tiger, the late Stanley Ketchel, and. controls

deadly knockout punch that doesn't

have to travel over six or, -eight inches to be effective.

To the writer's way of thinking, the

match with Mandot is the mast threatening spot that the Mexican,

Joe Rivers, has ever stood on since he

became a top-notch performer.

When the two Josephs meet next

Monday afternoon it will be a case of

two boys who carry the power to end

ring affair with one decisive blow.

GEO. BONHAG TO

QUIT ATHLETICS

New York. Aug. 27. George V. Bon

hag of the Irish-American Athletic club, who for nearly ten years has

been one of America's foremost dis tance runners, will retire from com

petitlve athletics with the close of the

present season. '

Bonhag at present holds all the rec

ords from four miles to ten,, both in

doors and outdoors.

His first national championship was gained in the two-mile indoor event In 1904. His best record is probably

9:15 1-1 for two miles on an indoo

track, but his 25:09 1-5 for five miles and 52:34 4-5 for ten miles supplant figures that had stood for twenty

years.

WHY ARB AS ACER T

TOO NOT A TIMES

JOHHNY KILBANE

HAS BUM DIGIT

Johnny Kilbane is worried over hi right hand. A bone Just back of th

forefinger was broken some time ago

and it refuses to knit. He cannot use

his right without suffering lntens

pain. He can use it to the stomach

but that about lets out his right. May be that explains his failure to fight

Tommy Dixon. Johnny's friends say

Jlmmy Dunn will not let him fight for

several months, "or until the hand get

well.

ARB TO" RKADI.VG THR TIMESf

WORK TRACK IS .GOING MERRILY ALONG

Mandot's hitting powers are every bit as terrific as those of the Los Angeles lad. Rivers cannot afford to leave any openings against the southerner. From what we have seen of Mandot In training, he required but one chin chop to set an opponent on the floor for the

required ten seconds, and he Is confl- 1 1- a

dent himself of doing It. Rivers made a flying trip to the city in his machine this morning, also purchasing a new pair of ring shoes. If the Mexican Is the least bt worried over a possible defeat he did not show it in his looks or actions. "I have never left the ring after a

contest that I did not feel .that I had l

learned something." said Joe. "Con- ' Jw

sequently I fignre that I am a better ! F-l

man now than I was before the meeting, with Wolgast. It Is a foolish thing for a man to brag about what he is going to do, but I will say this much, that I am more confident of myself now than I have ever been before." "For the past year I have felt that I had the future lightweight championship under my management," said Harry Coleman today. "And now we are ready to prove It. After Rivers, march on the Wolgast will be our slogan."

L Only luck enabled Boston to make

the game as close as it was. une local swatters hit only six balls out of

the infield all day. Three of these were flies to outfielders and the other half went safe. The rest of the Boston's seven hits off Walsh were scratches on which the infielders got

their hands, and most of the outs were made on the infield or by the whiff

route.

When a ball team with pennant aspirations loses twice to Boston and once to Brooklyn all in three days' time, it looks as if that ball team is having a slump. The Cubs played like helpless schoolboys yesterday at the

west side park in the first of the series . with Lahlen's Dodgers, and took a de- i cisive beating by a score of 12 to 3. While that was taking place the Gi- j ants were licked down in Cincinnati, i

IVilSS CHISH LEADS GOLFERS

Chicago golfers, who for a number of years have had a monopoly on the honors of the Women's Western Golf association, were treated to a surprise when Miss Ruth Chisholm of Cleveland carried off the medal for low score In the qualifying round of the Women's Western Golf association at the Hinsdale Golf club yesterday.

It was Miss Chisholm's first appearance in the event, and as she had a rating of eighth In the W. W. G. A. list, her score of 96, which led the field, was unexpected. Second place In the medal play also went to an outsider. Mrs. H. S. Van Dyke of Los Angeles turning In a card of 97. For some time It looked as If the coast player would finish first, but a rechecking of her card gave her three strokes more.

GIBBONS REFUSES TO BOX M'GOORTY

St. Paul, Minn.,

Aug.

nothing stirring on the Mike GibbonsEddie McGoorty boxing bout. This from , Edward Reddy, j manager for Mike Gibbons. According toi a report from Chicago, the Gibbons-McGoorty bout was all arranged, but Reddy denied that he had closed. "I have had a fairly long offer from Billy Gibson, matchmaker of the Madison Square Garden,' but ' the ' figure quoted by the Gotham matchmaker is about $4,000 shy of the lowest possible mark decided upon at this end. McGoorty is a tough fellow, who is dangerous at all times, and If we don't get' the money for' the world's championship matches, where or when will

Construction work at Mineral Springs Park is progressing as rapidly as possible, with a big force of men, the numbers of which will be increased by the flrst of the week. Owing to the absolutely level character of that part of the track on which the course is being built and the mellow character of the soil, the entire field having been plowed and harrowed, only & few

more days will be required to have the racing course ready for actual racing. The contractors and constructors of the race course have taken for their ' model the Justly celebrated Sheepshead Bay race course. Workouts will not be over the main course only on special occasions, the management deciding that the horsemen would prefer a special straightaway which will be three-quarters of a mile long and forty feet wide, running parallel to the stables on the east line of the tract. Toung trees will be transplanted on

bed of glacial formation carries an inexhausjpve supply of absolutely pure drinking water. This water is being marketed extensively in Chicago and surrounding cties in competition with the most famous waters and this alone should make Mineral Springs Park the horse haven of America. As the track lies on the main eastern automobile thoroughfare out of

Chicago a commodious garage, automobile court, repair shop, restaurant and saloon will be constructed and will be ready for the opening of the track. Richard Dwyer, who made a reputation at Chicago race tracks as a starter, has been secured by the management as starter of the races at Mineral Springs, a fact that should appeal to horsemen and lovers In general of the sport.

James Malone, who is the steward representing the Mineral Springs

track, for the past week has been pre
