George Zabel. a tall and rangy right hander rescued from the wilds of the Canadian league. yesterday won a berth on the Cub training frlp special next spring by holding Manager Ev

er s' regulars to five hits and one tally In nine rounds. "Red" Corriden's Boy Scouts had more success against Cheney and Vaughn and the irregulars won a farce comedy exhibition, 4 to 1. Zabel was the whole show for the Boy Scouts. He crossed the regulars repeatedly by breaking his sharp curve across the plate, and his control was perfect. He fanned only three batters, tut his new team mates were unable to connect solidly with his offerings. It may be cheering news to "White Sox fans to hear that Zabel is not eligible for the city series.

price, said to be the highest ever paid

for a minor league baseball franchise,

the Indianapolis baseball club has been sold to Jamas C. McGUl. George A. Wahlgren and Jack Hendricks of Denver. The price paid Is believed to be around $160,000.

might conduct negotiations looking toward the sale of the Denver (Western league) franchise, which he, McUiU and Hendricks own.

Two telegrams containing gladsome news thrilled the hearts of the Clabby family again last night. One telegram was to the effect that Jimmy Clabby was given a clean-cut decision over Sailor Petroskey In their twenty-round fight at the Eighth

way and he gave the sailor a fierce

larruping in the last three rounds.

UK6F0RD AT LAST

New York, Oct. 4. Opinion regarding the outcome of the world's series appears to be unusually divided. Prominent baseball players and writers are

predicting a close series or games, with low scores predominating. All

speak of the luck or break of the game being an important factor in the

ultimate winning of the championship.

The same situation has developed in

the betting. Outside of the home cities of the two competing clubs the! wagering is at even money. I

In Philadelphia the Athletics are

slight favorites over the New York

team, and here local supporters are quoting odds of 10 to 9 on the Giants. :

OSTRACISM DRIVES HIM FROM POLITICS

IN POLITICS

New York, Oct. 4. 'Tis a short tale

of a nasty left-handed glove that swashed steadily across the ebony Jaw of Tha mIangford, aided and abetted by a persistent right that constantly

sunk into Tham's obongpong and this

combination of circumstances gathered

Joseph Jeannette a victory over Tham

Langford last night in the ten-round

battle held at Madison Square Garden.

It would not be fair to try and de

tract an lota from the victory of Jean

nette because Langford entered the ring imitating a soulful corporation.

Joe was in there to try his best to beat

Langford, for the result meant first

whack at Jack Johnson of Paris.

Jeannette accomplished his mission

and that is all you caa ask of him.

These two cullud gen'lmun have

fought many times; so many that they

occupy a full page in any record book.

We wish to go on record that this was

their last meeting.

Tham was expected to arouse the

vast audience by knocking Jeannette

down two or three times and then Joe

was to come back strong In the last few rounds and sort of even matters up. Tham wasn't there. That luxurious trip to Australia didn't help him

any, and all we have to say is that it was too bad that Gunboat Smith didn't

get first whack at the Bostonian.

Jeannette started after Langford the

moment Referee Billy Joh gave the boys the high sign. He slapped with

the left; he punched with the left; he

Jabbed with the left; then he walloped

with the left. Now, when a husky battler does all those things they certainly help to Blow up a gent built on the lines of a pork barrel.

DYER VS. NORTH

ENDS SUNDAY

The Dyer team and the Hammond North Ends will cross bats in what should prove the hottest . contested baseball game of the season for both

teams at Forsyth park, Whiting, Sunday, October 5.

Both teams will enter the fray de

termined to play the game of their lives, as neither team wishes to spoil the remarkable records they have hung up for the season. Thus far every team in this vicinity has been beaten

by one or the other of these clubs, and therefore the winner of this contest can rightfully claim the championship of Lake county.

GAMES BIG JOKE . St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 4. The BrownCardinal series, which It has been determined will open Tuesday, is becoming a large Joke In St. Louis, but at that Is exciting a vast amount of interest and many bets are being placed. These wagers are on the number of errors by each team, how many flies Bert Shotten and Gus Williams will drop and on how many times Koney will strike out with men on bases. Wednesday is to be -in open date and the players will trxke up the strife

when the magnates see fit or when the weather looks best. With great seriousness the magnates are guarding against speculators getting all the

beats.
