MANY ENTRIES FOR MOTORCYCLE RACES F. A. M. to Assign Officials for the Fourth of July Event. CONCERTS ARRANGED Eight Events Will Be Held and $130 Offered in Prizes. .Many entries for the races to be held at the driving park track, east of the city, on July 4, have already been revived. The races will be held under the auspices of the Richmond Motorcycle club, with the sanction of the American Federation of Motorcyclists. At the meeting of the Richmond club, to be held in its rooms in the Colonial building Friday evening, further arrangements for the races will be completed. Eight events have been arranged. There will be four ten-mile events, one five-mile, one three-mile, one onemile, and one twenty-five-mile race. The first race will be called at 2:30 o'clock. The prizes range from $5 to ?15 for first places in the various events. In all, $130 In prizes is offered. Work on the grandstand will be started the latter part of this week or the first of next week. The club has arranged to have a band of eighteen pieces to furnish a concert during the afternoon. I HOT LINERS i i OFF THE BAT ! The Red Sox, Senators and White Sox are engaged in a mighty tussel for third-place honors in the American league. Each team has held the position for at least one day during the past week. Just now the Senators are third with .541. and theWhite Sox are fifth with .531. Cravath, of the Phillies, fattened his batting average off the offerings of James, the Braves' twirler, yesterday, getting a single, two doubles and a home run In five times up. With the score of 6 to 2 against them, the Reds began an up-hill fight In the sixth inning of their game with the Pirates yesterday and won out by a 7-to-6 score. Five doubles, three triples and a home run added to six singles gove the Phillies an 8-to-3 victory over the Braves yesterday. Doc Johnson, the Naps first sacker, may be out of the game for several days as the result of injuries received Sunday In a collision with Ty Cobb, who was so badly bumped he had to retire from the game at once. The Dodgers won the first game from the Giants in the tenth inning on a home run by Zach WTheat, making their seventh straigh victory, but lost the second, 5 to 1. The Athletics hammered the offerings of the Red Sox pitchers to all parts of the field yesterday and won an easy 13-to-4 victory. Included in the fifteen hits amassed by the Athletics were a single, double and tripple by Baker, two home runs by Barry, a double and two singles by Walsh, a double and a single by Collins, two singles each by Oldring and Mclnnis, and a single by Eddie Murphy. Manager Frank Chance of the Yankees vows that his team will not finish lower than sixth place. Right now such a vow does not seem to be hard of accomplishment, as the cellar champions are only 9S points behind the sixth place Tigers. Chance, by the way, is already building for next year. He has just signed four recruits and has option on a number of other youngsters who will report during the summer. All these players will be given a thorough try-out during the regular playing season. In Brooklyn there's a movement on foot to have the nickname of the ' Brooklyn club changed from the Dodg ers to the Giant Killers or something equally bloodthirsty. Last year the Dodgers were the softest sort of picking for the New Yorkers. This year the Dodgers have taken five out of seven games from McGraw's aggregation, and one of the two Giant victories was a 13-inning affair. Connie Mack has gone on the stage and is a vaudeville partner of MJke Donlin. the former slugging outfielder. However, the Connie here mentioned is not the gent who guides the destinies of the Athletics. Connie is a girl; a pretty one, too, and she energetically asserts that when she adopted her stage name she never intended infringing on Mr. McGillicuddy's patent. The White Sox and the Browns battled in a double header yesterday, the SL Louis aggregation winning the first and the White Sox the second after 12 innings by a score of 4 to 3. Few Invitations. Binks Hello, old chap, how's the world treating you? Banks Very seldom. Canadian Courier.

NEW AUTO LAW IN EFFECIJN JULY 1 Many Inquiries Being Made Relative to the 1913 Statute. Many inquiries are being made at tha various public offices in this city relative to what automobile owners should do to procure a license in accordance with the 1913 statutes of Indiana. The law goe3 into effect July L The , licence must be obtained from the secretary of tie state, the cost depending upon the horse-power of the machine. The sum of $ 5 must be be paid for machines of twtnty-five horse-power or less, for machines between twenty-five and forty horsepower $15, for machines between forty and fifty hcrse-power and $20 for all machines over fifty horse-power. An easy way to figure horse-power is to square the bore of a cyclinder, multiply the result by the number of cyclindera and divide by two and onehalf. Tail Light Switch Another feature of the new law that many automobile owners have overlooked refers to the tail light. After July 1, all tail lights must be so arranged that they can only be switched on from the rear of machines. There must be no inside switching arrangement. The tail light must also be fixed so as to 3hine on the rear number enough to make it readable a hundred feet off. SPORTING NOTES (National News Association) NEW YORK, June 24. Four new recruits have been signed for the New York American league team. They are Dan Costello, a first sacker from Mt. St. Mary's college, Emmettsburg, Md.; A. Williams, catcher, from Galveston, in the Texas league; Tom Hanley, southpaw, from Manhattan college and Jay Rogers, catcher, from Richmond, of the Virginia league. PITTSBURG, Pa., June 24. Manager Fred Clarke has signed Fred Kommers the star outfielder of the Springfield team of the Three I League. Last week Clarke left on a mysterious journey and the object of his quest was not known until today. Besides Kommers, infielder Cypert of the University of Arkansas and outfielder Earl Topham, of Bucknell, will join the Pirate crew. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 24. That he probably will be unable to pitch again this season was admitted today by Jack Coombs, the star twirler of the Athletics. The pitcher, who is ill at his Atlantic City home, is takine on weight at the rate of a pound a day which is not considered favorable bv his physicians. Connie Mack and John Snibe visited Coombs a few days ago and to them he admitted hia condition. NEW YORK, June 24. "The Old Master" showed in the second game with Brooklyn yesterday, that like the well made violin, the work of the real artist, and one of the favorite products of Kentucky, he improves with age. Christopher Matthewson pitched just seventy balls to show that the Dodgers were beatable. The art lay in Matty's making the Brooklyns hit to the fielders. The one run he permitted Brooklyn to make, never should have happened. He made a Dodger hit a fly. A fielder muffed the ball and a runner reached third base. No attempt to stop the tally was made on the next bater, the Giants, with a safe advantage have decided to put out the last three invaders as quickly as possible. ARTHUR PELKY WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY (National News Association) CALGARY, Alberta, June 24 Arthur Pelky, charged with the killing of Luther McCarty in the ring here May 24, today is a free man and can go about unmolested in quest of future ring battles. "Not guilty" was the verdict of the jury. The jury was out less than an hour. Pelky was jubilant when he learned of the verdict. A big demonstration followed the announcement of the verdict and as Pelky stepped from the prisoner's box he was warmly congratulated. Pelky probably will continue his career in the prize ring and an announcement of his next fight is expected in the near future. SPRUDELS TAKE GAME The West Baden Sprudels, with whom the local team has a game on July 3, handed Elwood a surprise yesterday afternoon when they trimmed that team 2 to 0, with Otto Merz of the Indianapolis American association team up for the losers. With Muscle and Brain. The boy who can master the scienc and art of the higher craftsman wil hold just as responsible place in tht world as the practitioner at the bar the occupant of the pulpit or the physi clan. Indeed, the wholly competent artisan, the worker with muscle anc brain who knows how. is the backbone of the nation. If it were not for hin: there would not long be need for tht specialized professions. He -Is tht weaver of the larger social fabric. th mason who sets the foundation stones of the country's industrial structures, and many a man who is now a doctor, lawyer or preacher would not only b happier and better off. but enjoy more real dignity, if he. too. were one of the 'sincere artisans' of the day.

THIS CITY WILL BE WELL REPRESENTED

Delegation of Twenty to Attend Municipal League Meeting. BARTEL'S RESOLUTION Increasing Amount of Bonds to Buy Utilities to Be Presented. A delegation of twenty persons is expected to attend the twenty-third annual Municipal League meeting at Gary, July 8, 9 and 10. At a meeting last night all the councilmen signified their intentions of attending the sessions. The local delegation will have a few minor matters to bring before the meeting, one of which will be a recommendation that the Municipal League committee on legislation prepare a bill for an act to increase the amount for which a city may issue bonds to purchase public utilities plants. The councilmen will attend the league meeting in a body leaving this city at 12:18 o'clock, Tuesday, July 8, for Hammond. From Hammond, special care will be run every fifteen minutes to Gary for the accommodation of those attending the league sessions. They will arrive there in time for the Tuesday evening program. Another Special Session. In order that there will be no business at the regular meeting the night before the councilmen leave, a special meeting will be held next Monday night to take up all business. The councilmen will then assemble the following Monday at the council chamber on the regular meeting night and hold a discussion of the plans of the league. Before leaving the city they will meet in a body at the C. & O. depot at noon. There will be several important addresses at the sessions. No local persons will speak formally. The purpose of the league is to exchange ideas in governing municipalities and to discuss the problems with which officials meet every day. Duncan Will Talk. Among the lectures which probably will prove of more interest than any other is the address by Thomas Doncan, chairman of the public utilities commission, on "What Benefits are Derived by Cities from the Public Utilities Commission." This address will be given Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock "One City's Water Plant," an address by Robert H. McGrath, president of the board of works of Lafayette, Thursday morning, will be of Interest to the local delegation, as it will be in conjunction with recom mendations which will be presented by Richmond men. Advocates New Law. Councilman Will Bartel will present a resolution recommending that a bill for an act increasing the amount of bonds a city may issue to purchase public utilities be drafted. At present the state laws permit the issuance of bonds for such purchases amounting to only 2 per cent of the taxable property of the community. The local council believes that this limit should be increased to 6 pr 8 per cent. This recommendation will be made in the hope that an act will be passed by which the city of Richmond can secure funds to purchase the water works plant. There are twenty men on the program for the two day's sessions. Besides these, representatives of all the cities will be called upon for some discussion. The delegates will be busy every minute they are in Gary, as there will be speeches, smokers, trips of inspection, automobile tours and many other diversions to occupy the visitors. THE FIRST WINDOW. What Is Supposed to Have Happened After It Was Made. A window is an aperture in an otherwise unbroken wall. It, the said aperture, was invented for at least two reasons one to provide air and the other to enable the light to penetrate the cell, thus saving candles, coal oil. gas or electricity, as the case and community and time may be. No hotel proprietor ever invented the window. No record exists of the age or origin of the window, but common sense teaches us that some cave man started the custom of windowing habitations by poking a bole through the cloy walJ of his residence. and finding the resultant light and air good to see and to feel. Whereupon Mrs. Cavedweller sniffed contemptuously and fastened the branch of a fig tree over the newly invented window In such a way as to keep out as mnch light as jtossible. "What's that?" inquired the head of the cave. "That's a curtain." was the not uncertain answer. Pearson's Weekly. He Wanted to Know. Henry, aged five, had two younger brothers, nenry's father had Just moved and was busy laying the kitchen linoleum. In order to facilitate the work he gave Henry the task of furnishing bim with tacks. The little felj low worked faithfully for half an i hour. Suddenly, however, be turned to his father and said: "Papa, you like me best, don't you?" "Oh. I like all my boys." said the father. "But don't yon like me a little bit better than the others? queried Henry. "I like all my boys equally well." answered the father. "Well, papa." said the lad. after a moment's reflection, "what's the use of my handing yon these tacks then?" Indianapolis News. The United States has ten rivers more than one thousand miles long.

ELECTRICAL STORM STRUCKPREBLE CO, Great Damage to Crops Results Lightning Strkes Eaton Houses. (Palladium Special) EATON, O., June 24. Accompanied by an unusual electrical display, the most severe rainstorm ever experienced in this section struck Preble county late Monday afternoon, and dnnne the hour that it raged hundreds f dollars' worth of damage was done to growing crops. The wneat especially suffered great damage, and in many localities was laid fiat upon the ground by the torrents that beat down. Oldest residents say they can not remember when a greater volume of water fell in so short a length of time. A number of reports tell of persons being caught out on country roads, where they were compelled to remain until the storm had subsided, because their horses refused to face the sheets of rain. Eaton especially was caught in the storm, and many streets of the city were covered with water to a depth of one and one-half feet. Cherry street from the Pennsylvania railroad north resembled a canal, and many persons on that thoroughfare were unable to reach their homes until the water had receded. The homes of Harry Baker, corner Vine and Wadsworth streets, and J. T. Stephens, North Maple street, were struck by bolts of lightning, and at each place chimneys were knocked from the houses.

NOT COMPELLED TO WAIT COURT TERM Divorce Suits May Be Tried During Term Filed, Says Judge. Wayne finunty attorneys will not b compelled to try divorce suits th term following the term the complaints are filed, according to Judga Fox. Last week the court was asked to construe the new divorce statut which has caused considerable controversy in all courts in this state. Tho statute is ambiguous according to local attorneys. Some contend that it is only necessary for siity days to elapso while others believe the case cannot be heard until the term following tho time they are filed. The arguments of the attorneys were heard last week though no decision was made by tho court at that time. In some courts divorce cases are being tried as soon aa placed on tho docket, some of tho courts stating that the 1913 law is an amendment to a statute which has been repealed and therefore illegal.
