CUBS AGAIN FALL
BEFORE DODGERS
San day the Hast Chicago team
will tackle a Mill harder ball olub than
last Sunday, 1n the Chicago Union Ql
ants, a colored team with considerable
reputation. The Union Giant recently
defeated the strongtest team in Chi
cago, the Ounthera, by the score of
to 2. The Ounthers have booked them
for this coming Saturday, May 10, look
lng for revenge, while the Bast Chi
cago boys tackle them on Sunday, May
11, at 8 p. m. This ought to draw
record orowd and no doubt will by the way the fans are turning out up to
date.
Sunday will be the last chance the
fans will get to see the home boys per
form for a few Sundays, aa they play
the American Giants, "champion col-1 ored club of the world." in Chicago on Sunday, May 18. On account of the great record the Bast Chicago boys have made up to date they have been in demand by all the best park owners of Chicago and other towns. They decided to play one game away from home with the strongest club of them all the American Giants. The fans all wish them luck. In the meantime, it is hoped all the local fans will turn out and see the mplay the Chicago Union Giants this Sunday, May 11, &t 8 p. m., Forsyth and 141st street. The local team added another shutout game to their list last Sunday by defeating the Roseland Eclipses, 5 to 0. This makes it three straight shutout games to their credit. Keep it up, boys, you are making a record for old East Chicago. Up to date there have been six hits made off Cy Young's delivery in three games, and he has the proud record of striking out thirty-seven men In these games. The record to date is: " East Chicago, 2; Chicago Magnets, 0. East Chicago, 14: Mutuals, 0. East Chicago, 5; Roseland Eclipse, 0.
By defeating the Roseland Eclipse the home boys defeated one of the strongest club in and about Chicago, last Sunday. . It was a well played game and hard fought throughout.
Neither side could score the first three Innings, so Manager Pederaen thought it- time to start something in the fourth, and he being the first man up, tripled over the right fielder's head
for a starter, and Captain Ullman, next
man up, drove a long fly to left.
Brooklyn, N. Y.. May 10. There was

It made three wins out of four games
for Dahlen's Dodgers, and they moved
into second place because of their sue

ly into third position.
A first inning blowup by George
Pierce, our left-handed' spit ball fiihg-
er, caused the mess of. trouble. ' He was removed from sight before he
could get the third man out. Four
daring Dodgers had crossed the home
plats in glee. ' Pierce was wild, walk lng three batsmen before he got con
troi. When he did locate the plate a sturdy Brooklyn guy drove the ball to the fence for three bases, and the next better belted one for a single.

TURF PLUNGERS BET
FORTUNE ON DERBY TODAY Yankee Notions Is Backed From 5 to 1 to Even Money During the Day.
Louisville, Ky.. May 10. In the hope of recouping losses estimated at about $60,000, lnourred through betting on Hawthorne and Helois In the future books to win the 1918 renewal of the Kentucky Derby, both of which havs been officially declared out of the race, certain ibig t turf -i plungers .. who make the Kentucky tracks their stamping grounds during the spring and summer .months turned loose a small fortune in the handicap books here yesterday.
All this money was bet on Yankee
Notions and so steadily was the play
on the Knapp horse that he gradually
receded In the betting from an opener of 6 to 1 yesterday morning to an even
money shot when the curtains were
drawn down in the "rooms" signifying
that another day was orer:"; ' f
It now seems a foregone conclusion
that Yankee Notions will go to the
post this afternoon the popular favor
ite with the betting public. Arrange
ments have been made by the track
management to accommodate 60,000
spectators, and with such a tremendous concourse within the enclosure it is safe to say that upwards of $500,000
will be wagered in the parl-mutuels during the afternoon.
Despite the fact that the official en
tries have a full dozen horses suddos-
edly engaged in the Derby, there is ab
solutely no chance of more than half
that number really accepting the issue, and the majority of those that really will face the staj-ter are of such a me
diocre caliber that the only reason their owners are sending them to the post is the hope of being lucky enough to finish inside the money.

WILLARD TRAINING
OPENLY FOR SMITH
San Francisco, Cal., May 10. Jess
Willard has become known to fame.
When the sport critics began to harp
upon a ring man s peculiarities It is a sure sign that the ringman has made
his mark. He has reached a stage which parallels that of the renowned citizen whose life story Is published, accompanied with photographs of the subject at the ages of two, seven, SG,
43 and 68. A New York scribe says that "considerable mystery" surrounds the training methods of the Kansas giant. It is pointed out that Willard figured In several bouts in New York, yet no one ever heard of him doing any training within a hundred miles of the city named. II is said that Jess used to bob up
suddenly on the night of a bout, score
a victory, collect his emoluments and disappear as though the earth had swallowed him. -
Aocordlng to this Willard possesses some of the traits of "Scotty," the Death Valley spendthrift. Maybe it
was Jess' wont to load his training
paraphernalia on a pack mule and con
dition himself out on his native Kan sas plains.
A friendly tree limb would no doubt
make a fair substitute for a punching
bag celling, and it would be easy
enough to convert a "lariat" Into a
skipping rope. However Jess pre
pared himself it is his secret.
SOX WINNERS, 6-1. IN FRIGID BATTLE
Being better accustomed to navigation in arctic going and temperature than the exotic athletes from Washington, the White Sox easily annexed the third game of the current series yesterday by a score of 6 to 1. "ynlle Senator Jim Scott, inured to the hardships of hunting in the' snowclad mountains of Wyoming, was breezing through the frigid battle as if it were the middle of July, choking off threatening attacks without difficulty, two of Griffith's young pitchers found the conditions too severe for them. Their support, was frozen stiff In spots and cracked under the weight put upon it. It was so cold that only the hardiest
