SOMETHING GOING TO HAPPEN.
New York, June 15. Racing men who
are in a position to know said today
they expected developments within the
nex ten days that would remove from
the present situation many tangles.
They said when the courts have passed
n various points In dispute as set
forth by the new betting law it would
be clearly shown that betting between
Individuals can be carried on, provided
no record is made of the wagers.
- The recording of wagers is the only
problem that appears difficult of solu
tion. If a layer or bettor can carry a
memorandum of wager in his head,
racing men who have consulted eminent
legal authorities say the new law will
not apply to such cases.
SOX MAKE IT ELEVEN STRAIGHT.
John Anderson's family and next
door neighbors should be pleased to
learn he has again covered himself
with schmeerkase. His powerful blow
over the block of Hemphill in the
eighth round tied the count and en
abled the Sox to win No. 11. Score,
5 to 4.
If ever a bulging crowd went dippy
it was when the bulging south siders
pulled up and won against a 4 to 0
handicap. Mr. Griffith felt he had at
least one game stowed away, and the
'New York scribe who got a notice of
recall because of the losing streak,
expected a flash from the sporting edi
tor telling him to linger yet, a little
while longer. But alas, you never can
tell in these parts, and' when it was all
fiver Mr. Griffith said he felt like the
3MOTES
United States had beeiv dragged from
under him just as he was about to step
out of a balloon. The 'recalled scribe
is on his way.
GANS TO FEATURE ROAD WORK.
Champion Will Delay His
Stunts for Two Weeks.
Boxing
San Francisco, Cal., June 14. A large
crowd of Lightweight Champion Gans'
friends and admirers went over to
Shannon's in San Rafael, today to see
Joe go through his gym stunts. They
failed to see him box, because Joe ex-
J plained that he would cut out boxing
until two weeks before the fight, as
there was nothing for him to learn
! there was nothing in science which re-
: mained for him to learn. He was on
!the road in the morning and went
through a variety of gym work. As
I usual, Gans seems in the pink of con-
, dition, and says he will easily dis-
pose of Nelson, as he weighs now only
139.
j Nelson Is at the baths in Livermore
Hills, but will return next week. His
I friends say the Dane will win this
I time sure, as he has made up his mind
to hammer Gans at in-flghtlng from
the tap of the gong, and as the referee
is not to separate the men, he figures
he can wear down Joe at this rough
work.
RIVAL CREWS REST THEIR OARS.
Yale
and Harvard Eights Pass
Day In Recreation.
the
Gales Ferry, Conn., June 14. Yale

Sunday on the Thames, the Yale squad

exciting time row of 20 minutes 45
seconds over the course last night.
This is the best time madeb y any crew
In an up-stream attack on the record
in fifteen years.
Coach Kennedy of the Yale crew said
tonight that he saw no chance to ex
pect more changes in any of the crews.
Coach Way of Harvard said that he
regarded the makeup of the varsity
eight and the freshmen eight as set
tled, but he is not so sure about the
varsity four.

New York, June 14. The Cubs,, with
seven games won, one lost and one

The majority spent the afternoon in the
surf at Atlantic, City and came strag
gling ack at intervals from dinner time
until midnight, with " some still missi

campaign are simple. He has four
pitchers In condition now and Intends
to work them in rotation, unless some
emergency causes him to change.

E FINE RiFLE SHOOT
Grant Hunter Loses by One
Point in Sharpshoot
er's Park Event-
The fifth annual picnic of the Ham
mond Sharpshooters association In con
nection with their rifle shoot yester
day afternoon was . one of the most
pleasant events in the history of the
club. The management of the park had
everything in fine order for a pleasant
outing day and the weather was ideal.
The spacious pavilion was crowded
with dancers until a late hour.
While no records were broken by any
of the club members in the rifle shoot
there was nevertheless a close contest
that made the sport all the more In
teresting. Grant Hunter, who still has
the highest percentage In the club, was
beaten by only one point, having made
a fine rally in the last round. Henry
Irecks carried off the honors of the
day, winning the gold medal for the
week. Grant Hunter having been a
close second, Frank Cowgill of Whit
ing came in third, and Christ Muri, the
strong-armed blacksmith, fourth.
The club's original intention of prie
shooting was abandoned in order that
the club members might better take
care of their guests at the park, but
the prizes were nevertheless distri
buted to the winners, according to the
official shoot.

EAST CHICAGO WINS.
The game of baseball yesterday be
tween the Simonettes of Whiting and
the White Stars of East Chicago was a
peach. The heretofore unbeaten Whit
ing team arrived in town yesterday full
of confidence and handed out the dope
on the game without stint. They mod
eatly admitted before the crame that
while the White Stars were a fairly
good little team, they really ought to
stay in their class and not pick world
beaters for their initial game. They
intimated that while a seemed a shame
to do It they (the Simonettes) would
certainly have to hand them (the White
Stars) what was coming to them for
their presumption in tackling such a
mighty aggregation as the Simonettes
of Whiting. Now the record of the
Simonettes of Whiting would seem to
have given them' the right to make a

BLACK DAKJIEFEATED
Hammond Hubs Put Up a
Splendid Game Yester
day and Win.
Yesterday at Black Oak the Ham
mond Hubs defeated the Black Oak
team to the tune of 14 to 3, in a game
full of heavy batting on the part of
the Hubs. The mighty Rosine, was
driven from the rubber In the seventh
after the Hubs had scored seven runs
in that inning. He was replaced by
a southpaw who looked the same to
the Hubs, as they kept up their bat
ting and could not be stopped until
the ninth put a stop to the bingfest.
It was a good game and no serious
objections were made by either team of
the umpire's decisions. The pitching of
Love was of the sensational kind with
men on bases, and his support was
excellent.
The next game will be with the La
Vendors at Harrison park. The La
Vendors are from Whiting and have a
2 to 0 victory over the Hubs.
The score:
Hubs ......1 0111172 014 18

FLAG DAY IS CELEBRATED.
Washington, D. C, June 15.
Thanks to the untiring efforts of the
American Flag Association and with
the co-operation of numerous other
patriotic bodies, today's celebration of
Flag Day .commemorating the sdnn.
-iion of the red, white and blue as the
national emblem, was more general
throughout the land then ever before.
Reports indicate that the idea has now
been adopted In nearly every State and
Territory and has been carried by
Americans to the islands beyond the
seas.
The American flag Is 131 years old,
and though It has slightly altered, the
alteration represents only the growth
of the institution for which it stands.
The first flag was made by patriotic
ladles in Philadelphia. It was a small
affair but represented a heavy cost, be
cause the bunting came from England
and Just at that time things British
came high. This first flag was flown by
Paul Jones, the naval hero whose body
was discovered In its obscure resting
place in France and returned to thia
country.
By error the initial flag had but
twelve stars but the man whom the
British dubbed "a pirate and a rebel"
proudly informed Congress that the
emblem at the peak of his warship, the
"Ranger," was received with the most
marked courtesies by the French,
whose formal recognition of the new
flag constituted the French acknowl
edgment of the American republic.
