Giants' Manager Swings on Arbeiter and Rariden Hits Ground Keeper a Hard One Strenuous Doings at Cincinnati.

CINCITNATI. O.. June 9. Only the intervention of Christy Mathewson kept John J. McGraw and Bill Rariden from spending the night in the booby hatch after their savage attacks upon Umpire Byron and Groundkeeper Matt Schwab at the close of yesterday's game. They were already in the grip of a huge copper, who simply ached to beat their heads off. when Mathewson set up a plea for their release and induced Garry Herrmann to liberate them. What John K. Tener may do to them is an entirely different thing. At the end of the game, which was full of fighting and recriminations. McGraw made after Byron and called him seven assorted kinds of thieves. Byron retored spiritedly, remarking that McGraw had been run out of Baltimore years back, and McGraw swung a furious right on the umpire's mouth, bringing the blood in streams. Byrom, groggy but game, was feebly fighting back when Groundkeeper Schwab tried to stop the fight. Rariden then drove a cowardly blow to Schwab's head from behind, knocking him down and kicked him with his spikes, as he lay prostrate. The fight was broken up by a crowd of athletes and park employes and Mr. Herrmann arriving, demanded the arrest of McGraw and Rariden.

The track meet held recently at Fort Benjamin Harrison, In&ana, an officers' reserve corps training camp, showed that many of the college athletic stars of the middle 6tates are among the army rookies. Almost every college of any note in Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio was represented by some of its best athletic talent. Most of them look like the best sort or material.

TO PLAY HARBOR East Chicago Tigers will invade Indiana Harbor Sunday and will try to win their fifth straight game. They will tackle the fast Indiana Harbor Nationals. Faherty or Loda will twirl for Tigers and DeLore will be behind the bat. Game is called for 2:30.

Bill Killifer. Bill Killifer, the Phils' star backstop, deserves credit for much of the excellent showing the Quaker team is making this season. It is apparent to many bajeball critics that Killifer is one of the most valuable men to his club in either of the big leagues. Last season Bill's work was a bit off, as he had been injured in the fall of 1915. This season he's jroine at his prreatest pace.

RACINE, WIS., June 9. It was a case of which George would do it and Newcastle George was the fortunate middleweight last night in his battle with George Knockout Brown of Chicago. The miner hit the Greek with all he possesses in the punching line and you all know Chip can hit, Brown did not like it. of course, but he stood up under it manfully and was still there and trying at thet conclusion of ten slugging rounds. Brown gets whipped occasionally, but none of them spill him for a count. He kfpt his feet all the way, though Chip clouted him with about everything but the water bottle. Chip had six rounds. Brown one and three were even. The miner's victory was conclusive and convincing. Chip won because he was a stouter and more accurate hitter. Brown never did get the range. Chip was slow and would have to speed up considerably to do anything with Michael Gibbons, at whom he is aiming a challenge. Sailor Freeman and Joe Bishop boxed an eight-round draw in the semlwindup. Freeman surprised by his speedy footwork and ability to keep Joe from connecting solidly. He performed in improved fashion and evidently is a coming boy. The card did not draw quite up to hopes and expectations, but attracted something like $2.00 gate. Brown brought up a bunch of Greek admirers from Chicago, headed by Louie Choromokos, of the North Side. A delegation of Logan Square A. C. members came up on a private car on

, the special train to cheer for Chip, who j was their guest the other evening. AlI dermen Bauler, Healey and Tolman and 1 Tony Cermak, chief municipal court

bailiff, were on hand in the Freeman

crowd.

GRIFFITH i,

Children's day exercises will be given next Sunday at the M. E. church. All are invited to attend. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. Eastwood and Mrs. C. I. Boesen were Hammond visitors yesterday. Miss Lauri Lennertz attended the funeral of her little nephew at Tolleston last Tuesday. The latest word from our soldier boys in Kentucky, "Butch" and Charles Miller and Don Chalfant, Is that they are to go to Washington. They were not sent to Texas as was the original Intention. However, part from their camp went. The boys at the Standard Oil plant greeted a. sirty-foot steel flag pole yesterday. This Is more evidence of the patriotism of Griffith. Next week a similar pole will be placed on the school grounds if arrangements can be completed by that time. The boys at the E. J. & E. railroad office have had a flrty-foot pole up for some time, and are waiting expectantly for the arrival of a twenty-foot flag. Referring to an item appearing Mon

day under the Griffith heading which stated that "workmen of the paper box factory are preparing the building on Main street for the installation of machinery," we wish to make a slight correction. On careful Investigation from authoritative sources it has been definitely learned that the paper box company has no men here at all. How soon the building will be occupied by the paper company, n at all, can not be stated. However, two workmen have been engaged for the past week making needed repairs on the old building, and as stated by one of these men, they expect to be paid by Ernest De St. Aubin. Mr. De St. Aubln em

phatically states that It is homself who is doing the work and paying for the same entirely out of his own pocket, no one in town contributing a cent. He says he owns the building.
