Fourth of July Contests With Morrissey Crew are Moved by Head of League
Hoosiers Will Return to Local Park Friday and Two Games Will Be Played at Springbrook Saturday. Pres. Jam v Frank has a n nu need that the yarn's schedulvd at Lansing between the Senators ami the landers for Friday and th Fourth of July hac I.f.Ti transferred to South Bend which will giw the fans here some big league hall on the holiday next r-'aturday. The reason assigned for the transfer f the three contests, a 1ouhle header being slated fur the Fourth, is that the Luising club has not been drawing wll at home this year. It is underrtood that the Southern Michigan elub may encounter some difficulty in securing Springbrook park for the Fourth as the Manufacturers' league has the grounds leased on that date and is not particularly anxious to change the on sent arrangements. The Rail Hands and the Studebakers ar scheduled to meet at Springbrook on the Fourth and if different arrangements are made the pame will be played, at the north side park in Mishawaka. Schorr Is expected to take the mound against the Ducks at Saginaw this afternoon, if the rain does not prevent tho staging of the contest. Schorr will probably give the Ducks a run for their money as he has been .going like wildfire the last few weeks. The Hoosiers are slowly hut surely limbing the standing list and expect to tear down the big lead the Hay City club has taken within the next 30 days. .TCST FOIL A CHANGE. Special to The News-Times. SAGINAW. Mich., June 30. All Saginaw fans ask is to have Johnny Jones placed on the mound against the Hoosiers and they feel sure of a game. All Johnny Jones asks is about three runs and he solemnly promises to beat the Benders. All of these requests were granted Tuesday and Saginaw won by the count of to 1. Jones Is the original Jonah for the TIooicrs. He has appeared against them three times and three times' has he come out on top. On May 3 Saginaw came here ami Jones was used. He won by the score of to 3, although the Henders hit him seven times, while the Ducks only secured tour knocks. South Bend visited Saginaw on May 31 and June, but Jones wasn't used. W hen the Ducks returned to South H nd for a series. Jones was used in the second game of the Booster day program. He won by the tally of to 1. biting the Hoosiers down with four bangs. T'ne game was afterward forfeited to the Benders, but the fact still remain-: that Johnny Jones beat South Bend in re.il baseball. Kach time that Mr. Jones has worked against the Henders Duffy has done the hurling for them. He has pitched good ball, but just the same Jones beat him. Out of the nine "allies played between the Ducks and the Hoosiers. facia team has won four jind one resulted in a 3 to 3 tie, when rain intcrferred. Jones Allows Six Hits. Jones held the Hoosiers to six bumps Tuesday, while his playmates crashed out a total of ten bumps. Johnny was in danger only once. whiTe the Ducks nut do most of their hits count. Grodirk saved the Hoosiers from the disgrace connected with a shutout when he tripled in the seventh. Diem lifted a sacrifice My, scoring Urodiok. Stevenson came through with a hit good for three s.-u:ks, hut had to rtay there when Hashang in renter field gathered two tlies from tile bats of Korfhageit and Beall.

STERS D i WDS Committees Will Meet in Chamber of Commerce Tonight to Complete Arrangements for Big Day at Springbrook. Working quietly, the committee in charge of arrangements for Boosters day for the South Bend ball club, has been busy for the past week, planning a mass meeting to be held at the Chamber of Commerce auditorium tonight at 7:30 o'clock when the various committees will outline the campaign which is expected to bring the largest crowd to Springbrook park on Wednesday afternoon. July S, that has been seen here in years. Lansing will be the opponent of the Bender crew on Boosters day and Morrisey'a men will no doubt give the Hoosiers a battle for the honors at that time. No subscriptions or tickets will be j placed at this meeting. Instead an Hour will oe uevoiea io nuihuiK pinna for the gala day when every live fan in .South Bend and Mishawaka will lay down his or her pen or spade and spend the afternoon at the ball park, to do homage to the Benders who are making one of the most sensational lights for the leadership that has ever been seen in the Southern Michigan league. Fang Start Move. The project of a Boosters day on a week from today was taken up by the fans themselves in consideration of Ed. Smith, who has been spending money like water to make the Hoosier club what it is. Undaunted by the most ditticult obstacles, Smith has pone ahead building up his club and keeping his promise that he would have one of the strongest clubs on the circuit before the season ended. The fans here were rather dubious of the Southern Michigan league when the season opened, being a bit suspicious of Class C ball and it was not until Smith proved to them the speed of the circuit that they opened up. The attendance last Sunday, considering the inclement weather, which served to keep the majority inside by the tire, was more than 1.2 00. and was a surprise to even the fellow in the grandstand. The meeting of the committees tonight will be the final step in arrangements for the whirlwind campaign which will end next Wednesday noon. Budolph H. Horst, chairman, has appointed C. A. Dolph chairman of the committee which will place the tickets and make arrangements with the etores for closing during the afternoon. The Men hi Charge.

FOUR PLAYERS LEFT IN GOLF TOURNAMENT The elimination play in the match tournament has left Torrey, Bidenour, Weeks and Daicey for the semifinals, which are to be- concluded by 6 o'clock Thursday afternoon. Niles, 10. forfeited to Torrey, 22; Bidenour, 12. won from Dinnen. 12. by 5-4; MacLean, 8, lost to Weeks, 2, by 4-2; and Daicey. 18, defeated D. H. Eldredge, 22, by 7-5. It is a disappointment that Weeks has found it necessary to forfeit to Daicey on account of having been called out of town on business, and it is possible that both Torrey and Daicey will be obliged to forfeit, should the former win from Bidenour. In case of these defaults the first prize, a handsome silver cup donated by Frank Mayr and Sons, will go to Bidenour by forfeit, and the second prize, a caddy bag donated by George Wyman and company, will have no claimant. These trophies, the half-dozen pairs of seamless silk socks donated by Sam'l Spiro and company for the driving contest and the. dozen gentlemen's handkerchiefs offered by Robertson Bros.' company, are displayed in the show window at the Mayr Jewelry store. KID WILLIAMS WINS DESPITE AILMENT NEW OK LEANS. July 1. Kid Williams, iirst time out as a champion and beset with the most outlandish and weird ailment that ever was wished on an important battle boy. easily defended the title that he knocked out of Johnny Coulon's decrepit hide three weeks ago when he outdistanced and outsmashed a local tyro named Pete Herman. Herman stood up to the finish and wasn't badly beaten. For that he can thank an ordinary, or extraordinary, visitation of prickly heat that settled on Williams' neck and shoulders and put the Baltimore blonde through more misery than a dozen Hermans could send. The heat here has been Incredible. Williams, perspiring freely, suffered the most acute agonies, but fought like a champion and there can be no controversy. JOE CLAFFEY HAS OFFER FROM FEDS Joe Claffev. the star shortstop of; the Niles. Mich., independent team, has received an offer from Pres. Gilmore of the Federal league to join one of the clubs of the outlaw .circuit. Claffey, however, has refused the proposition and will remain in business in Niles. lut season ClaflVv was with the Bockford. 111., club of the "Three Eye" league but gave up professional ball at the close of the year. He is j now doing sensational work on the Niles club of which Heinie Tieman and several other former South Bend notables are members. SCOTT FORCED TO QUIT i Mini Hens Take Braoe and Win iYom : Flint.

LONDON OOES FIGHT 10 ALL OF SUDDEN British Society Wild About Pugilism and Coming Event Will Be Society Affaii . LONDON, July 1. That London is fight mad is the most obvious thing to the causal observer. With the Bombardier Wells-Colin Bell ' match out of the way the interest now centers on the Willie Ritchie-Freddie. Welsh meeting of next Tuesday. The conservative Iondon Mail, whichhitherto has dismissed fight news with the barest mention, are now devoting columns to it. Women in decollette gons and men in evening dress were greatly in the majority on the crowd of 1,000 which saw the Wells-Bell light and the demand for seats for the coming lightweight championship contest proves that the affair will be one of the smartest gatherings from ciety standpoint of the season. a soHAMMOND BOXING CARD FOR FOURTH COMPLETED CHICAGO.

Organized baseball won a victory over the Federal league here Tuesday when the United States circuit court of appeals refused to grant the Chicago Federal league club an injunction restraining Catcher William Killifer from playing with the Philadelphia National league team. Judges Warrington. Hollister and Safer cornposed the court which sustained the Grand Rapids decision. Killifer getting $3,000 a year with the Quakers was offered $5,500 a year for three years by the Chicago Federals. He signed, but later jumped back to Philadelphia. The Federals prayed for an injunction from U. S. Dist. Court Judge Sessions of Grand Bapids, restraining Killifer from playing with Philadelphia. Judge Sessions j refused the ola on the ground that i the Federals did not come into court with "clean hands". The a.-e w as appealed to the appellate court, j Tuesday's decision is regarded by t manj.' as a vita! blow to the Federal J league. ' EAGAN GI7TS "K. O.BOSTON. July 1.

Baseball magnates are wondering whether or not the hiph salaried player Is quite as great an asset to the team as formerly. Their quandry is the result of the workmen's compensation law which places a tax upon all the ball clubs and recognizes a professional ball player as a workman engaged in a hazardous occupation. Figuring the peerless Mathewson of the Giants a drawing a salary of $15,000 a year the New York club must part with 555.50 additional in order to insure him under the new law. whic h is compulsory and leaves the club no option. Henceforth the players may have all the hospital fees, doctors, charges and cost of medicines paid out f tho funds provided by the law. BEDS AFTER CUBAN. LOUIS. July 1. Garry Herr ST. mann, boss of the Beds, has written Armando Marsans, the Cuban who recently jumped the team, asking him to return to organized baseball. The letter is much on the order f a plea and would indicate that ?h Beds' boss is eager to have the Cuban back in the fold. But those in Federal league circles are inclined to believ the letter was sent to cover a point in law. Marsans is silent on his Ptand. RIVERS-MoOE FIGHT. LOS ANGELES, Cal.. July 1.
