E, .A LA VILLA, DEFEATS BANKERS Leader of A. S. M. Ball Team Merciles in Attack on the Money Changers in Athletic Park Event. Vanquished Charge Victors Bribed Umpire With Large Per Cent of Receipts From Spectators. Seeders, 18; Bankers, 16. The Mexican war "movie" had nothing whatever on the scenes of action that were displayed at Athletic park last night, when the A. S. M. company team, led by George Hodge, of basketball and bowling fame, managed to annex an 1S-16 victory over Carl Cutter's crew of bankers. The game, or farce rather, was a five act affair in which every minute was full of action, tragedy and comedy. Flagrant charges of high finance and graft were made by the moneymen to such an extent that the "umps," who was by the way an employe of the Hoosier company, had been (and this on reliable authority) paid a big sum as a ransom to throw the game in favor of the book-keepers. Among other things, the bankers also charge that George Hodge altered the rules of the game to suit the candltlons and circumstances surrounding the work of his team. Such things as calling a man out for the little thing of throwing clots of dirt at the umps: sending a man to the bench for hitting the ball too hard; calling a man out for having two strikes called in succession and saying things about, the form displayed by "Bus" YVeyman, the hero of the Seeders force, are laid at the door of Hodge. Use Too Many Pitchers. And then too, the bankers charge that the Seeders used unfair tactics In using three pitchers during the game. The Bankers used one pitcher throughout while the Book-keepers used four separate and distinct men to serve 'em up, nnyway this is the assertion of members of the Second Notional force that participated in the tifafir. According to the leading officers of the banking team the result vns anything but satisfactory and they will attempt, to sign the Seeders for a return game, said game to be played fair, so they claim. The Seeders version of the story is finite different. The American penpushers hold that the victory was won fair and square by superior headwork, consistent work in the field and a superior knowledge of the inside workings of the national game. The team stand.' ready to let the case go before an arbitration board and if necessary will meet the bankers again at any place and at any time, so they say. A list of characters participating in the affair and a short synopsis of the plat is as follows: Rankers Welkins, McMatt, Cartwright, Cutter, Wecghman, Carrol, Crawford, Stevenson and Hoover. Seeders Schisslcr, ttversman, O'Neal, Schuniaker, ("linger, Hodge, Haworthfi Weyman, M. Sehumaker. Score by Innings.

ITCHING ECZEMA IS DRIED RIGHT UP WITH SULPHUR Use Like Cold Cream to Subdue Irritation and Clear the Skin. Constant or intermittent irritation producing itching and red, angry Eczema patches on the skin is readily relieved with bold-sulphur cream. The moment it is applied the itching stops and the healing begins, says a noted dermatologist. It effects such prompt relief, even in aggravated Eczema that it is a never-ending source of amazement to physicians. For many years bold-sulphur cream has occupied a secure position in the treatment of cutaneous eruptions by reason of its cooling, parasite-destroying properties. It is not only parasiticiilal but s'so antipuritic and antiseptic and nothing has ever been found to take its place in overcoming irritable and inflammatory affections of the skin. While not always establishing a permanent cure, yet in every instance it instantly stops the agonizing itching; subdues the irritation and heals the inflamed raw skin right up and it is often years later before any Eczema eruption again appears. Those troubled should get from any pharmacist an ounce of bold-sulphur err am and apply it directly upon the affected skin like you would any ordinary cold cream. It isn't unpleasant and the prompt relief afforded is very welcome, particularly when the Eczema is accompanied with itching. This is published for Walter Dodge Co., Cincinnati, O. ,

IDG

GETS LAST

CHANCE

Earlham to Meet Grimm's Methodists. Earlham will get her last chance at the secondary baseball championship tomorrow when DePauw furnishes opposition at Greencastle. If the Quakers lose this game all remaining hope for taking the rag of Indiana secondary schools will be gone. In case Reagan's men should slip one over on Grimm's proteges, the Quakers would still have a fighting chance for the honor. The Quakers have suffered one defeat at the hands of the Methodists so far this season, but the game at that time was a gift as the Quakers booted the count to the visitors after outbatting their opponents. Reagan has been working his men hard this week in the hope of overcoming the inability to handle infield balls. Eddie Cox, a local boy will likely start the game at third.

RELIANCE WINNERS IN OVERTIME GAME Natco Falls Before Toolmakers in Last Contest of the Season.

It took an inning overtime for the Reliance indoor combination to take a 15-to-13 victory from the Natco outfit last night in the best played and most interesting game of the Commercial season. For six innings it was a battle royal, with neither team having the slightest advantage. Lavenstein and Firth, opposing huriers, were sailing along at a steady clip, neither yielding enough bin&les to allow the opposing team to sew up thing. With the score standing 13 to 13 at the close of the game, it was agreed to give both teams three outs, according to the rules that govern the league. Natco went down in one-two-three order, but not so with the men of Jones. Lavenstein seemed to let down for a few minutes, and when the smoke of the conflict had cleared the scorebook showed, Reliance, 15; Natco, 13. This was the last game for both teams.

NEW CANOES APPEAR ON MORTON LAKE Owners Prepare to Compete for Silver Cup Offered by Palladium in Opening Day Races. The canoe races planned for opening day, Thursday, June 11, on Morton lake, are likely to prove worth while to entrants. This is the only sport planned so far in which any business houses have spoken of giving prizes, and the Palladium has already announced its intention of giving a silver cuj. to tl.t winner of the races. The races planned are: Palladium Race The distance of this race will be changed as the length of the lake is believed too long a run. The race will be open. Singles. Short Dash and a Longer Race One man to a canoe will be allowed in these races. The prize has not been announced, but probably will be a cup offered In one of them. Doubles, Short and Long One man paddling in the rear seat and one in front constitute a team in doubles. Suitable prizes wil be offered by the Lake and Park company or by merchants. Stage Bumping Contest. In addition to the foregoing races, a freak race or two will be staged, and possibly a contest between two canoes to bump each other over in the water. This is one of the most interesting form of freak canoe contests. Expert paddles are required, and the men who stand in the middle of the canoes carrying long poles padded on the end, must be nimble on their feet and able to balance themselves. The object of the contest is for one of the battlers to knock the other into the water, and a much more decisive victory is scored when an adversary is able to turn the canoe over. New canoes are appearing on the lake every day or so, and there is no I doubt by that canoeing will be the I most popular sport on Morton lake during the summer. Because of the i nature of the lake, canoes are the I most practical craft. ! The new bathing beach at the east j end of the lake will be open for busiI ness for the first ime next Sunday, i Hawkins' pond, which is run by Chas. j Parker in connection with the lake beach, has been open two Sunday, and fair sized crowds have been in each day, and also a few days during the week. SHOE STRINGS LOSE The "Shoe String Bunch" dropped a heart-breaker to Knollenberg's team of national pastimer's last night by a 7-8 score.

LAW INDOCES JIM TO PROMOTE BOUTS BY FRANK G. MENKE. NEW YORK, May 21. "Sunny Jim" Coffroth, of San Francisco, who is making more money in promoting fights than any other man in the country, says the secret of success in the the fight promotion business is to "give the public a square deal." And out on the coast that's exactly what Coffroth gives fans. He doesn't boost his "bleacher" prices for the star bouts and thus freeze out the fellows who can afford only $1 or $2. Those prices always remain the same, no matter what the attraction. "The $1 and $2 boys are the ones that help me make ends meet when I'm staging just an ordinary bout," says Coffroth. "Those boys are my friends and you can bet on it that I have made an ironclad rule never to increase the price of their seats. Whether it's just an ordinary scrap or one in which the championship is at stake the prices are the same." Coffroth, although always a fight fan, never gave the promoting end of the game a thought until back in 1900. Just about that time the Horton fight law was repealed in New York state and Jim Kennedy, a New York fight promoter, landed in Frisco looking around for a site for an arena. He sought out Coffroth, who then was secretary of thesupreme court in that city. "The game ought to make money out here if I can get a permit," said Kennedy. "I'll get the permit if you'll take me into partnership with you," said Coffroth. "You're on," answered Kennedy. And Coffroth has been "on" ever since. NOTICE.
