Newport. Aug. 20. R. Norris Williams of the tennis team tht won the

Davis cup for America last month yesterday won the second round of the all-comers singles tournament here from Gustave F. Touchard, the middle states champion. The score was 3-8, 6-4, 1-6. 6-4 and 7-5. The fight for the national championship la. now thought to have been narrowed down to California, Philadelphia and Boston, as the defeat of Touchard leaves the New York contingent decidedly weak. Williams, who is a 19-year-old freshman at Harvard, won Impressively.

Hitting on all six cylinders at once, the White Sox made Boston's world's champions take their dust again yesterday in the second match of their last series at Comiskey park. Score: 5 to 1. The Callahans got their swats together and wasted few of them, thereby giving Eddie Cicotte an easier time than White Sox pitchers usually enJoy while on the slab. At that it was a stubborn battle with Cicotte only two runs to the good until after the middle of the combat and, Eddie had to pitch all he knew In the first half. The White Sox assaulted Ray Collins with determination and good results In the first inning, deriving two runs from a pair of singles and a double. Then Collins tightened up and stopped this attack by striking out two of our best batsmen. From there to the end of the fifth Collins was impervious to

county Sunday afternoon by defeating the Gary Times aggregation and cap- I

turing their twenty-fifth victory this season. The final count stood 11 to 4. The game was " rold of sensational work and-loose playing was evident In nearly every stage of the game.

Next Sunday the Gophers tackle the f

crack Indiana Harbor Rexalls in a final

game, of a series and as both teams lay claim to the championship an interesting and hard fought game is ex-

i pected. The Gophers have played In

far more games than their twin city

rivals and expect ho difficulty in retaining the 15-year-old championship.

BLACKBURNE DEAL OPPOSED Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 20. There will be an awful howl among fans here If Russell Blackburne is taken away from the Brewers on August 26, as required by national commission rules. The Milwaukee management asserts that under agreement last year with the White Sox when the deal was made Blackburne was to be allowed to remain with the Brewers until the end of the season In case an option was exercised, the commission granting this special privilege. In that case the Brewers will be able to hold their strong Infield together. It is not believed that Comiskey will' attempt to cripple them at this stage of the game with a pennant in their grasp.

JIMMY BARDELL - IS NEAR DEATH Jollet, 111.. Aug. 20. James Bardell, trainer of the Chicago White Sox during the championship season of 1906 and ex-champlon lightweight wrestler of the world, is dying in a Jollet hospital. Bardell has been falling for months and suffered a complete nervous breakdown a week ago. Physicians declare there is only a small chance for him to live. He is known throughout the country among sporting men as a trainer and boxing referee, and is an old personal friend of Charles Comiskey, Jim Jeffries, Tommy Cannon and other sportsmen. He was one of the three sponsors of Packey McFarland's first fight at Tattersall's old fight arena in Chicago.

Youngstown, oi Aug. 20. According to Dr. J. D. (Bonesetter) Reese, Ed Walsh, the famous pitcher of the Chicago White Sox, who has been troubled by his throwing arm since last May, will within another week be himself again. Further than that, the wellknown mender of disabled limbs predicts that Walsh will be even a greater than formerly. Walsh arrived in Youngstown yesterday and went to see Dr. Reese Im

mediately after breakfast. It required ; but three minutes of the bonesetter's time to put a tendon of the right arm ' back In its proper place. When Walsh j rolled up his sleeve and displayed the j great arm that has won so many ball '

games for Comiakey's White Sox Dr. Reese looked amazed. Then he declared that it was the most powerful arm that he had ever seen. And Dr. Reese has seen hundreds of them. It did not take Dr. Reese long to note that the arm was a little crooked in the elbow, and he suggested that this was due to the misplaced tendon. After a few of his mysterious Jerks

BREAKS TO HELP, PREDICTS CHANCE

St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 19. -Basing his" prediction on the assumption that the Giants and Athietlcs will be the contenders. Frank Chance . forecasts a remarkable struggle for world's championship honors this autumn. "The leaders of the two leagues appear to be evenly matched-," said Chance in discussing the teams, "and I look for a close, exciting series. In my opinion the winning club will be the one that gets the early 'breaks' in the play. You can't eliminate the 'breaks' in baseball, and in a series as important and as short as the world's championship. It always has proved a prominent factor."

Philadelphia, Pa.. Aug. 20. The high geared Cubs won their seventh straight victory yesterday afternoon when they trounced the slumping Phillies for, the fourth time. Th game was something of a combat, as the Chtoagoans won by a nose, S to 2. What little bit of pennant aspirations existed here last Saturday has

gone a glimmering since the Cubs hit

town. On the other hand there are a few members of the Chicago party optimistic enough to be counting up the difference between the Giants and Cubs in the race for the ld flag. The Cubs need only to continue at their present pace1 and there'll be a lot of New Yorkers shivering with fear Inside of a week. Just now Evert." team seems to be the class of the league and It Is not winning entirely by luck. The boys are playing great baseball, the best they have shown this year.

To. The Public

It is our belief that the general public of Gary, and outside investors are of the opinion that all the choice residential lots in the first subdivision have been sold. Such is not the case. The Gary Land Company still offers for sale a number of fine improved residential lots within four to eic;ht blocks of Broadway accessible to schools and churches and business sectior of the city. Only 3 Few Remain Unsold It is only a matter of a short time until every lot in the first subdivision will be disposed of. If you are contemplating the erection of a home the selection of a site is a prime factor. "Why pay high rents when the Gary Land Company sells on easy terms. Build your own home. Let the rent you are paying apply on the payment-of your home. In a few years you will own your home. We know of scores of renters who have lived in Gary over five years and have paid out small fortunes in rents. In the start if they had purchased lots and erected homes, they would now be property owners. WHS RIeves' Be Cheaper What remains of the Gary Land Company's property in the first subdivision will never be cheaper. It has been the history of the city that our lots have advanced in prices and values on an average of once a year. We can not tell wrhen the next advance will be made as wTe previously stated there are a number of very desirable lots for sale within walking distance of Broadway. They can not last much longer and if you have delayed making a selection you may be sorry. Scores of purchasers have told this company that, and remember these lots are selling from $350.00 to $950.00 each. Take for example any city the size of Gary in Northern Indiana. What are the residential lots worth from two to ten blocks away from the main business street of the city? These prices- are in the reach of all, the day laborer, the office man, the banker or business man. St Es Important In order to bring before the public just what remaining property the Garjr Land Company has for sale the company will on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays advertise six of the best residential lots unsold in the first subdivision, stating location, selling price, terms, etc. If you are in the market for a residential lot this is important to you. The first advertising will appear in Friday's issue of this paper. Watch for it.

MOTOR DRIVER ASKSS1C0.0C0

: Adams Sues, Alleging He

Failed to Get Car for Races.

It is worth $100,000 to a man to start in the 500-mi!e race at Indianapolis. Frank L. Adams, a racing driver, al

leges this, and will attempt to prove

it in the courts. lie filed suit yesterday against the Automatic Ji,otor and Engineering company, 15 South Michi-

! gan avenue, Chicago, to recover dam

ages. He says in the bill of complaint he had made a contract with the com-

jpany In February for the construction lot a ninety horsepower automobile, to j be driven by him in the SOO-mile race i last May 30. The machine was to have j been delivered to him on May 1.

j On May .10, the bill states, the ma- J

( cine was uncompleted and the comjpany refused to turn it over to him.

Adams says he already had paid $100 entry fee and that his picture and name had been printed in the pregram of the races. "When he saw it would be impossible for him to get the car ready for the race he attempted to get another but failed. The ridicule, Adams says he suffered from his friends and newspapers because of his failure to start, caused him great mental anguish. Adams entered the car under the name of the Smada. -

COCKNEYS OBJECT TO JACK JOHNSON London, Aug. 20. There is a possibility that Jack Johnson, the American negro pugilist, will not be allowed

l to appear on the stage In this city.

The announcement that he would do a turn next week at one of the smaller west end music halls brought a number of remonstrances to the manager to the effect that the London public, after the revelations of Johnson's violations of the white slave laws of the United States, would not stand for the nep?ro pugilist as an entertainer. , The manager retorted thit he did not think the question of morality entered Into the matter if the boxing exhibition by Johnson was a good one. Besides, the term "white slavery" does not mean the same thing in England as it does in the United States, and the crime with which Johnson is charged in the United States would not be on offense against the law here. The Federation of Variety Artists will discuss the question at a meeting in this city on Thursday.

ACCIDENTS UPSET CHOICE RING CARDS

Labor Day Battles Are Called Off.

and twists Dr. Reese had the elbow straightened out. and although it was quite painful to Walsh, the big pitcher asserted that he could stand any pain If it only meant that he would be put back in condition to win ball games. The tendon straightened in the elbow. Dr. Reese then prepared to straighten it at the shoulder. Here a slight flaw was discovered. Valsh was told to stretch out his arm and then Dr. Reese took hold of it and twisted and bended it In every conceivable way. It took but a few Jerks, however, before the arm was entirely straightened, and the great pitcher was told that after a rest of one week he should be in condition to pitch. Dr. Reese declares that next season, after the winter's rest, Walsh's arm should be better than ever. Walsh left on an afternoon train for Chicago, highly elated over the result of his visit to see the "bonesetter."

San Francisco, Aug. 20. A combination of clrcumstanoes has played the mischief with the September pugilistic program. Up at Vancouver Freddie Welsh is nursing a sprained ankle and has been compelled to cancel temporarily his championship contest with Willie Ritchie. Down In Loa Angeles Joe Rivera la writhing In the tortures of grippe and his Labor day date with Leach Cross will have to fall through. Here in San Francisco Sailor Petroakey la hesitating in such a way about lending himself to the Admission day bout with Bob McAllister that It looks aa though Jimmy Clabby will have toact as the former bluejacket's understudy. All that Is needed Is for Arthur Pelkey to take a fever after his operation for growth In the nose and plead inability to tackle big Charlie Miller. Then the chapter of accidents and postponements will be complete. The news from Vancouver Intimates that Freddie Welsh sprained his ankle three weeks ago and has been trying to keep the matter quiet. He turned his foot on a stone and -when ha resumed training and la In as bad fix as ever.

Freddie has been peculiarly unfortunate so far as meeting with mishaps while training is concerned. A Jack Britton, Welsh contest In San Francisco had to be called off owing to a setback to Walsh. Then a Freddie WelshBobby Waugh bout at Los Angeles met with a similar fate owing to something going wrong with the muscles of Freddie's neck. Now It is his ankle that has given out. The date of the Welsh-Ritchie fight at Vancouver has been reset for September 20. For Welsh's sake it Is to be hoped that his lame foot will recover sufficiently to enable him to en-

NEW FIGHT CLUB FOR KENOSHA Kenosha, Wis., Aug. 20. Announcement wat made today of the incorporation of the Badger Athletic club, with George Tully as the head of the organization. The club is chartered with a capital stock of $10,000 and plans have been made for the building of a modern boxing arena in Kenosha. A site has been secured.

WHITING1 TIGERS WIN. The invincible White Oaks of East Chicago triumphed over the fast WhitTigers Sunday afternoon, walking with the large end of a -10 to 8 score. The features of the contest was the star fielding of "Babe" Simon and the three-base wallop of Lodin. The trusty hickory wlelder caught the p411 square on the nose and lifted It sky high for three bases when the corners were full. -Whiting led until the seventh Inning, when jpitchers were changed and the visitors found the sphere for six well earned runs, placing them two chalk marks in the lead. The White Oaks have played a total of 19 games and have yet to accept defeat. Next Sunday they will line up against the Hammond Colts at the former H. A. A. park. A hard gar.ae is expected.
