It trill afford Burleson no comfort o learn that yesterday loeal postotnee employes maintained traditions of the department and refused to keep up witll ihe times. Mail men and Lake County Times employes played ball for nine innings yeserday and the result as officially announced was 27 to 7 in favor of the newspaper boys, rumors that spread rapidly throughout the city Immediately after that disastrous seventh inning when The Times players batted 'round twice, saying that the score was 39-0. "Kid" Freese, who started for The Times men pitched invincible ball in the pinches. He beaned only two men nnd passed five. In the eighth inning "Woggles" took the mound, Rlchter went to first and Freese donned the mask. The carriers of mail pouch laid hr.avy bats on the ball that inning and scored two runs. The wiggly-woggly Vall of Ei Goehringer's didn't mean a thing in the young lives of the stamp chasers, "oggles" was discouraged but stuck it out. In the third inning the P. O. men -anlted O'Neil. the generous hurler and put young Drahert on the mound. But nothing could remove the blight that seems to hang over the ill-fated servants of Uncle Sam and es an illustration of a one-sided ball game persue the ramifications of that wild seventh innlng.

P. O. men on the bench. OKell tip. Frees hurls three good ones. O'Neal "vhiffs each time. Imes up. Duplicates action of O'Neil. "Couldn't even see the ball never mind hitting it," says Imes as be rings hl3 bat to the ground. Drahert up. Strikes out. No runs. No hits. No errors. Times men take a rm.it. "Woggles ambles to the plate. Drahert. pitcher for the postofnee team, nervously watches 'he sand-lot Babe Ruth, as he swings six bats while warming up. Woggles lets the first pass. Then smack. The ball sail3 to center. Hardwlck muffs and Woggles gallops round to second. Gorman up. He cracks the first one down third base line for a single. Woggles takes a chance and when O'Neil at third fumbles Bd slides into the base. S. Frank up. Flies out. A. Frank up. Is given walk. Bases full and Cobb up. The crowd roared for a home sun. "Oome on Ty Come on Ty! Smack it over the Monon tracks," yelled the 15 encited fans. Drahert ponders the situation for a moment then decides one run isn't as bad as four and gives Cobb a walk. Woggles walks in from third as Oobb trots to first. Rachter up. Bases full. "Remember way back when they used to have a barrel of beer at thtrd and you had to reach third or you wouldn't get a drink," recalled Woggles asrlie eatanically urged Rich tor to ruin

Oobb goes to third and Rlchter sits dejected on second .looking wistfully at third base and its phantom keg of beer. Frees up. Slams one to center for a two sacker, scoring Rlchter. Kuschel up. Knocks another two bagfrer scoring Freese. How-ells up. Strikes out. Howolls bats for Baker Home- Run Baker who had to beat it home in the fourth inntfur. Woggles up for second time. He bingles to short for a single snd has to shake the dust from his heels to beat the throw, but makes It. And so on back to Howells. who struck out a second time, closing the inning; 12 runs; 8 errors,. For the postofflce men Drahert. Gray, Winkler and Strong played unusually well, but the Indian sign was on them iind they couldn't shake off its depressing effect.

The Chicago Motor club announces that the Elgin Road race finally scheduled to be run on the afternoon of Aug. -1 and not Aug. 14 as was given out, is rapidly developing to sustain the appelation given It by Richard Kennerdell. chairman of the contest board of the American Automobile association "a classls." Indications are now that the Elgin will havea field closely rlaling the 500-mile race at Indianapolis. May 51.

for the Elffin, like the Hoosier event, is a championship event and drivers are keen for the points they will gather :n a major race. The announcement had already been made that Ralph De Palma, and his Freinch Ballot. Tommy -Milton, Jimmy Murphy and -Eddie O'Donnel of the IHiescnbcrg team and Cliff Durant and his new and beautiful Chevrolet special have entered a month in advance of the race, something rather unheard of in Elgin entry lists. Now the management makes the announcement of tho -entry of Gaston Chevrolet with a Frontenac, made by his brother. Ixmls, and known to be one of the fastest cars ever started. It was none other than Gaston Chevrolet who won the 1920 Indianpaolls 500 mile race and Incidentally. Iput Into bis pocket between $40,000 and $50,000 for his trouble. Those who

saw me noosien race classed it as a wonderful win against such talent as

De Palma. Milton. Boyer and the French

aggregation which included Jule Goux,

also a winner of the Indianapolis event

In 1913. Gaston Chevrolet is only 27 years

old and yet has come into the champion

ship class, at present being ahead of

all others In tho championship table. He holds the hundred mile competitive world's record, made at the Sheepshead Bay speedway, July 4. 1309. He

also won the Labor-day race at Union-

town last year and may be counted on

to show the rail birds At Elerin some

of thin championship form, for the

Frontenac is known as a speed creation second to none.
