Hammond. Gary, Crown Point and Whiting high school athletes will he pitted against 101 schools in Stagg"s lnterscholasttc meet to be held on Marshall field at Chicago next Saturday afternoon. According to the entry Hats the athletes will represent seventeen states of the union, with Minnesota on the north, California on the west, Texas on the south and Pennsylvania on the east. The large number of entrieti sets a new record for the meet, and Stage's interscholastic is considered one of the most represanta-

t!ve In the United States. Four Lake county schools will send their star athletes to compete against the best high school squads in the country next Saturday, and it is a feasible guess that a part of the honors may fall to this vicinity. This dope is gathered from the fact that the Lake county athletes have made Rood in the northern Indiana, Lake county and state meets this year and with better conditions and a faster track next Saturday the various athletes are expectin g some victories. Hammond, who captured the Lake

county track and field meet at Crown Point and won second honors in the northern Indiana meet at South Bend, will send Mette, Hlrsch and Smith as their representatives. Crown Point will watch their star long-distance runner, John Allman, in the mile and half mile and If he shows up Saturday like he has in the previous meets he will undoubtedly be among: the finishers. From Gary Paul Hake will try for individual honors, while Vater will endeavor to star for Whiting. A large number of students are expected to attend from this region.

SOX OF RED DOWN HOSE OF WHITE III

CLASH, 3-2

Single by Speaker, Sacrifice and Swat by Wagner Give Final Run.

Boston, Mass.. June 4. Chicago's White Sox began their first. 1913 eastern invasion yesterday with a defeat and without the star first baseman, Hal Chase, for whom Manager Callaha ntraded considerably more than a mass of potage. The world's champion Red Sox trimmed the paler hose, 8 to 2, in a game of wasted opportunities, and President Farrellof the Yankees telephoned the Chicago pilot that Chase was detained In New York by pressing business engagements.

Consequently Fournier retained his job as a first baseman and also was responsible for the White Sox being in the battle at all. Jack's three-base smash against the center field fence in the fifth inning biased the trail to the two runs the White Sox scored then by a succession of three hard bumps. That wu all the runs they made all day, although they had plenty chances. For lack of a bunt or the telling punch in a pinch they missed oat everywhere elae. Tex RuMell was hit no harder by the home fellows than Ray Collins was by the rWton and the boots were even, but Tex lacked some of the control for which he has been famous and the Red Sox made better use of some of their opportunities than the other boys could.

Chicago's Cubs -will begin this afternoon a defense of the west side citadel against the four armies of eastern invaders who are making their first incursion of the season Into western territory. George Stalllngs' Bunker Hill fellows from Boston will oppose the Trojans in the first of a four-game

engagement. Besides seeking to better their own standing In the pennant race the Cubs are likely to find themselves battling for a place in the first division as well, for the Pirates by their, victory over the Braves yesterday moved into a tie with Evers" men for fourth position. Because of some recent happenings in Pittsburgh, which are too- painful to be brought up again in detail, the Cubs have a wholesome respect for the Pirates, who seem at last to have let some of their poor playing oose out of their systems, although yet far from the Pirates which were acclaimed as pennant winners by many critics at the start of the season.

you know that I am out after the white championship, and I think I have as much right to it as anybody else. My record will show this. Among the hopes I have beaten are Tommy Burns, Bill Squires. Jack Palmer, Mike Schreck, Marvin Hart, Porky Flynn, Jim Stewart. Al Benedict, Fireman Flynn, George Cotton, Soldier Kearns. Jeff Clark and Tony Ross. I bested Gunboat Smith here in Buffalo, and I fought Joe Jeannette a hard ten-round battle. This Is surely enough to entitle me to a crack at the best of them, and I would like to start with George Rodel, the fighting Boer."

ENGLISH DERBY DECIDED TODAY Ixindon, June 4. Knight's Key. a horse recently purchased by Richard Croker from F. H. AVise. and the only American horse remaining on the entry list for today's Derby, was scratched yesterday afternoon. In consequence no American-owned horse will face the farrier in the blue-ribbon event of the English turf this year. August Belmont's nominee, Vulcaln VI., which was among the favorites earlier in the year, has not arrived from France, while Herman B. Duryea, H. P. Whitney and John E. Madden have scratched all their entries. 'American Jockeys, on the other hand, Stand a good chih of betng in front at the finish of today's great race. Johnny Reiff has the mount on C.

San Francisco, Cal., June 4. With the passing of ill-fated Luther McCarty, the white heavyweight championship seems to have been thrown, on the market. At least that is the way the matter is viewed by white hopes generally. Judging from the number of claims to the title that Are being made.

Why Snow Is Warm. Snow Is warm by virtue of lta light and woolly texture. Bat It Is also warm on account of lta whiteness.
